| - This place is fun every once in a while. They have a great atmosphere, and the bar area is really cool. Service is pretty good, about what you'd expect for a restaurant at Tempe Marketplace.
My only gripe is with the kitchen. First, the prices are a bit high. Again, this is Tempe Marketplace, so I get that. The food, however, suffers from a case of taking itself too seriously. For example, one time we ordered the macaroni and cheese. I don't know what we were expecting, but there were like six cheeses, several herbs, and some kind of peppers in it. It was overwhelming and not as enjoyable. The same for some of the appetizers...you're marketing as an up-scale sports bar, how about something a little less ostentatious than the crazy potato cakes, or the pretzel cheese that literally has ale in it.
Order simple, enjoy the reasonable beer prices and great selection, and move on to a cheaper place if you're looking for somewhere to party.
