| - I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of positive reviews from the Yelp faithful for a sports bar/grill, so the wife and I decided to head over for some college football over Labor Day weekend.
The layout is great with a long bar and two big areas for seating. One area is mostly high-top tables and is more bar-centric. The other area is almost all large booths with plenty of space for 8+ folks per table.
The TVs are EVERYWHERE and cover just about every seating angle. It's definitely a sports bar that also has a big menu, not a restaurant that also shows sporting events. Sound is turned up for most games so you had better be there for a game and not just to eat as there is no escaping the TVs and sound.
The good news is that if you are there to watch sports, there's plenty to like besides all the TVs. There were over 15 beers on tap plus an equal number of bottled choices. My wife said her mixed drink was well made and plenty strong - they also have a specialty drink list for those that like a little help selecting their beverage.
The menu was BIG and the food we ordered was very tasty. My wife got the Rib Sampler off the appetizer list which consisted of four "fall of the bone" pork ribs that were served very hot and were really good. I got the Buffalo Chicken Salad which was well made, had good crisp chicken, hot buffalo sauce, and lots of greens. If there was one critique of the food list, it was that it could be a bit repetitive across the categories (e.g. Buffalo chicken wrap, salad, burger, strips, etc.)
The staff was friendly and accomodating - service was quick and they accepted a coupon I had from localdines for $30 of food with no issues (something I recommend grabbing if you are headed here anytime soon).
we'll definitely be back for whatever the next "big game" is - Blue 32 is a cut above the Zipps and Fox Sports Grills in Scottsdale and worth serious consideration for your next sports-fueled food fest might be.
