Stepped inside the door to find that the bar is *immediately* to your left. 6 ft and I'm on a bar stool. So far so good.\n\nOrdered the usual gin and grapefruit tall, for $4.50. The place was empty save for myself and another guy at the bar. The bartender that day was Geno, she informed me that the owner of The Well used to be a bartender at the Coach House, just down the road. \n\nI asked about breakfast options and Geno recommended a coffee shop a few doors down that was supposed to have excellent take out. I decided to take a pass on that and ordered a breakfast beer instead. I ended up having a real nice time at this place, just the three of us chatting and hanging out, enjoying the mellow morning. Geno is a local treasure, btw.\n \nI was treated to the (by now) standard assortment of wild stories that have become a standard feature of my bar exploration adventures. The highlight of this particular morning was the one about the male transvestite school bus driver that caused a ruckus by using the ladies room in some bar. This eventually led to that bar owner changing the entire place into a tranny bar, in order to avoid business destroying lawsuits from powerful mysterious \"backers\" of the tranny school bus driver. \n\nThe Well has darts, pool, etc as others mentioned. They have a patio out front which is nice when the traffic on Scottsdale Road is not too heavy. There is free wireless internet available via the ecast Internet jukebox. You do have to create a free account first by furnishing an email address and a password, which is a minor inconvenience."^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . . "2008-07-31T00:00:00"^^ . .
