Spot had me excited at first. Has seemed to have gone downhill some. First time in reminded me of some breweries in Oregon, but to be fair there's nothing like the breweries in Oregon. Clean newer outdoor indoor seating. Solid rotating selection of 30 or so beers. Some food is unique and clever. Crowd can be a bit dooshy on most nights. Days can be better, like on a Sunday afternoon. It's not just the ASU influence. Service is weak. Kind of a hipster aloof arrogance to too much of the staff. Yes when crowded the ambience is uncomfortable. The noise is like a crowded dive bar but the environment doesn't match. Parking can be difficult but it is downtown area. For the pricing, the experience should be much better. Owners probably making enough to not notice the management flaws now, but eventually these growing problems will catch up.
