A: This is a hipster "stand around and look cool" type of bar, located downtown. I went for their First Friday event, which is supposed to be "Classic Soul"... ha, ha, ha. They were not playing anything that even resembled classic soul. They were playing Madonna, 80's and early 90's rap, and The Bravery. And a bunch of other crap. Maybe they have better music on other nights, but I'll sure never go to this again. Cover was only $5 but not worth it. It was also totally crowded and you have to fight your way to move a few inches- and don't even try going in the ladies' bathroom! There was some dancing, but it wasn't music I wanted to dance to. I did like the atmosphere inside, kinda gritty and cool. Also they have an outdoor area back in the alley. I may go back for a different night.

Q: negative

A: First of all, please hire people at least willing to try to speak English. Second of all, make your food somewhere half as good as Wienerschnitzel. The prices are exorbitant even for the airport, which is sad because the food is abysmal. My sausage tasted like something my dog ate out of the litter box, threw up, ate again, then puked into the center of a rancid casing.

Q: positive

A: Exquisite fare. No wonder why this school churns out the best engineers.

Q: positive

A:
Well I am probably going to be pretty unpopular with this review but sometimes you just got to have your say. I find it astonishing that most people criticize places like this because it is not "authentic". I understand what they mean but please. This is Phoenix Arizona. Not Bangkok or Chang Mai, Thailand. And I'll be honest. I've been fortunate enough to spend time in Thailand and the food really didn't appeal to me as much. Same with Indian food. The Indian food in London is stellar. A really special blend of different regional fares. In India? It seemed pretty ordinary. So yes, I am making a crazy statement. That possibly the most "authentic" food might not actually be the most interesting. With that ridiculous statement made, I love this place. Yes, I agree the place runs with the efficiency of a zoo sometimes. And sometimes the wait staff need a good kick up the arse. But for the most part, the food is excellent. Tasty and satisfying. Every now and then a dish comes out ill prepared. But I've had that experience in many places, bar the expensive ones. So forget trying to frame the place against "the real deal" and enjoy it for what it is!
