When my husband and I moved within walking distance to Spokes on Southern, we figured it would be our neighborhood bar. I am sad to say that due to repeated episodes of bad service, that will not be happening. The first time we tried this place, it was right before Halloween. The bartender dressed as Duff Man was really nice and knowledgeable about the beer. He is the one breath of fresh air that we have experienced here. The next two times, we walked our dog to the patio, hoping to enjoy a pint before the walk home. Both times, we were neglected by the servers for very long periods of time. The second time, we waited 10 minutes just to order a beer. We asked for just a few more minutes while we decided if we wanted something to eat. Thirty minutes later, the server comes back to ask us if we've decided. Yeah, we decided about 20 minutes ago when you completely disappeared that we no longer wanted anything else because no server was anywhere to be found. The servers act as though the patio is an afterthought. I don't know if they pull double duty and serve inside and outside at the same time, but if that's the case, it isn't working. A few servers should probably be stationed outside because the service on the patio is severely lacking.

I wanted to love this spot. BUT........It's not good at all. I got the 2 meat combo with pulled pork and the brisket. The brisket was dryer than shoe leather and the flavorless sauce couldn't help mask it. And the pork, while not quite as dry as the brisket, it lacked in any sort of smoke flavor, or any real flavor for that matter. Got 2 sides with my combo, the baked beans were pretty good, while the potato salad was not to my taste or anyone in my group. One friend got the smoked chicken sandwich and another tried the sausage, the chicken was beyond dry and the sausage had a really odd texture as if it were over ground. Still waiting for a legit BBQ joint in Vgeas.

Good burgers and a good bar. Been going here since they opened and they deserve 5 stars for the quality of food and the environment. Also their takeout is great and always timely.

We brouoght the family on a Saturday afternoon. We ended up staying till 10:30 at night. It continued on till 12 midnight. We wanted to stay but, just could not. We had coupons to get in so admission was a really good price. Free Parking ,so no complaints there. Friendly people working all around. We walked all around checking out the great food. There was a lot! Many of the vendors came down from Vegas and they were authentic italian cooking and foods. We got 5 differant items of food, bottled water and some Peroni beer. Plus later we got fantastic Cannolies, coffee and exspresso. Fantastico!!! We even got Italian wedding cookies and pizzallles to go. They have covered tables and chairs so you can sit and eat your lunch or dinner. The entertainment was really good, Italian singers from the North and South Italy. Plus, real Vegas acts. We had a great time. Even donated $$ to San Gennaro himself as they had a statue for dedication. It ends tonight. We thought it was a great time. Arizona does not have too many good festivals, so this is up ther with the best.
