text: OK I've got the inside skinny on this place and I'm gonna shoot straight.\nI've decided to edit DOWN this review as this place doesn't deserve all the BLAH BLAH I've given it.\nOn the corner of 6th and Mill in Tempe. \nPark for free at 5th and Farmer across the railroad tracks.\nMill Ave. is all metered parking now.\nI've been waiting for W.O.B. to open for ages and finally stopped in for a stiff 12oz. Oskar Blues Old Chub (8% ABV) to check out the place. With tip I think the beer was $8.59. OUCH. Kiss my ass!\n\nThe place DOES have a wide selection of good beers a beer connoiseur would expect as well as many locals, but you sure as hell pay for it. They're milking Mill Ave. for all it's worth, that's for sure, and pandering to the university crowd with HALF OFF drafts for university students, faculty and staff on Wednesdays. \nAll you public sheeple have to get a Loyalty Card or show up for happy hour for any sort of discount, which is definitely LESS than half off.\nMakes me want to get a student ID again (I graduated with a B.Sc. in the 90's, thank you very much) so I can have my ass kissed by everyone who wants my money rather than be the ass kisser of places who think they're doing me a favor by being there.\n \nW.O.B. is a sports bar with good beer and NO FOOD, but I understand they partnered with a few local places that will deliver in. The place is small and I fully expect it to be packed with university rookies when school starts. I'm not looking forward to this. I hate zoos and so do the local beer snobs.\n\nSure the place has lots of great beers but the atmosphere is cow-herdy and loud,  and you should take advantage of price breaks whenever possible or get ready to feel regretful. \nIf it's crowded, JUST WALK BACK OUT. Good luck getting a seat, and squeezing in and ordering is a royal pain.\n\n\"Nobody goes there, it's too crowded.\"  -- Yogi Berra\n\nIf you plan to go at all, go early happy hour then split when the ant farm comes in.\n\nHowever I'm glad for its presence because it's contributing to beer consciousness and the growth of the craft beer industry by showing people there's more to beer than fizzy yellow rat piss. \n\nBottom line is I won't be a regular here, I might stop in for some tap takeovers or other promo events, but I refuse to pay full price when I can drink incredible beers for much less elsewhere. No I'm not telling you where. \n\nHOWEVER there's a place that can handle ANY crowd with speed and efficiency, has plenty of seating, friendly staff that has time to talk to you, has incredible beers on tap and in the fridge, AND IN-HOUSE food with pizzas to die for, and that is PAPAGO BREWING in south Scottsdale at McDowell and Scottsdale Rd in the plaza next to the Mandarin Buffet.\nHave fun  getting annoyed at W.O.B., sheeple!\nOr head to PAPAGO where they keep it real.
