| - The Heights is a fairly new sports bar that opened up in the Fletcher Heights shopping plaza at Lake Pleasant and 83rd Avenue.
The bar inside is a little on the small side, but is always clean and well-kept. The bathrooms are single-toilet rooms, but they are also very clean, huge plus. They have a lot of TV's going with sports, and they pipe the audio outside to the patio, so if you're not down with that, probably not the right bar for you.
They're open late, and after sports finish broadcasting they play music and it becomes more of a "bar-bar." The crowd is middle-aged, and you have a lot of local regulars that probably live right around the corner. They will be drunk and they will want to talk to you and randomly join your party or conversation uninvited. That's the nature of a true neighborhood bar, so be prepared for that. (That being said, the bartenders are female and they will keep a strict eye out for older guys doing the aforementioned to younger women out with friends which is nice.)
It's a friendly atmosphere, though, I've been there a handful of times and I've never encountered any more than harmless drunks that want to chat. Their drinks are good and cheap. I've not had their food, but it looks like standard pub fare.
All in all, a pretty nice place to grab a few drinks and watch the game!
