text: Located within walking distance of Bank One Ballpark MLBs Diamondbacks and US Airways Center NBAs Phoenix Suns Majerles owned by threetime NBA allstar and local icon Dan Majerle is a great place to go before and after a game nnWeekend afternoonsgame day or notare relatively quiet which means quick service and an attentive wait staff And while the food is typical of most sports grills burgers sandwiches and fried appetizers for example it is a great place to unwind or to escape the Phoenix heat There are the requisite large televisions tuned to the days sporting events and plenty of memorabilia lining the walls Despite these sports bar staples the place is actually quite cozy and quaintnnBut while Majerles is good in the afternoons it absolutely rocks after Suns or DBacks games The place is typically packed and it is not uncommon to find local or visiting athletes sipping beers on the narrow sidewalk patio The bartenders are personable and charming and it is not unusual for one of them to grab the mic and wander the restaurant singing karaoke and singing it well The spontaneity of patrons singing duets with the bartender or serenading their dates to lates pop ballads makes for a great partylike atmosphere
