| - When I returned early December for a birthday get together (mine), I was suddenly nervous about having dragged about 15 Tempe residents out to downtown to a place none had been to and most had never heard of, where there is NO parking and drinks are relatively expensive.
But Hanny's didn't make a fool of me. The server - like last time, was charged with serving an amorphous group of fast drinkers who kept wandering off to take pictures, play in the elevator shaft or slide on the tongue couch - excelled. Patient, friendly and informative. In fact, when some drinks erroneously landed on one person's tab - there were several separate checks at our table - she removed them without awkwardness or even so much as an eye roll.
Music neither impressed nor (more importantly) annoyed - mostly soul and R&B mixes - and the disappearing/reappearing DJ trick is a good one. I was almost talked into moving the party to the District, where I was told beers were $3 and the atmosphere was something I might enjoy. Glad I didn't (esp. after reading some of the yelp reviews for it!)
Hanny's, I will continue to make the effort to come to your establishment, which is neither close to me or easy to: find/send people to/park around. You're asking a lot, but keep up the good work, work out the kinks and I'll keep making the effort.
