| - I'm disappointed to read the reviews below. Almost all those reviewers went there as a group, went one time, there happened to be a bad smell that day, and they derailed this place by all posting horrible reviews. Essentially, they're severely unbalancing the rating system by doing this "en masse" approach.
I used to eat here several years back when it was just a restaurant. I was sad when it burned up, but didn't try the new sports bar (owned by the same man) until last night, when my wife and I went in for "beer and hummus".
I was shocked by how spacious the place is, given the nondescript look from the outside. There was no odor at all in the place; whatever problem was occurring with the reviews above has apparently been fixed. The food was the same fresh, authentic Mediterranean fare that was served when the establishment was merely a restaurant. I was very impressed by the television layout - there were ten large screens positioned perfectly for watching multiple games - this would be an ideal place to watch March Madness. The service was great, and the owner came over and chatted with us for awhile.
Prices are standard for Phoenix sports bars. Parking is admittedly small, but there's not much they can do about that save buying out the AM/PM next door. I suppose you could easily park across the street in the large shopping center.
In summary, I'm sad to read the reviews above - I was excited when I saw the place, and told the owner I would be back with my friends to watch the next sporting event. All it needed was a few more people to make it a lively, fun place.
