It was busy, but it was a game day so to be expected from what I assumed was more of a "sports bar" anyway. Waitress wasn't too knowledgeable on the specials or what came with individual regular entree orders, but was quick to correct. I left happy. Great burger & beer. If you dig the sports-bar vibe, I'd recommend! Near neat downtown murals in Phoenix. (Pictured below)

Nice place with a lot of history in downtown Glendale. They offer some great food items and the margaritas were awesome. If you get a chance the next time you're in downtown Glendale stop in. Enjoy the outside seating like we did for people watching.

Love the Wednesday night jam sessions at 8:30pm!!! Their house band, the Fred Boswell Jr. Experience hosts it & has other musicians & bands get a chance to play with them or perform their own songs. It's amazingly free! Still can't get over that. I was blown away by all the talent!!! I heard Funk, Pop, Rock, Blues, Hard Rock, & Jazz! The bartender (I've only seen one main one behind the bar), he's friendly & savvy; knows what to recommend & makes drinks very well. I had a few drinks; the Gummy Bear & the Capri-Sun shot. Both excellent. BTW I noticed other servers taking out drinks to tables etc. when it got busier, so that's cool. They serve food too but i have yet to try some. The interior is decent & there's a nice sized patio, free parking, safe location.

Fun spot and great vibe! Weekly specials bring in a large crowd. Plan ahead as they get super busy after 9pm. The lines go 5 people deep. Everyone wants to come in and dance! The DJ spin fabulous music non-stop!! Starting with Salsa Thursdays dancers from all over The Valley come and share Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Cha-Cha moves. There's a free lesson starting at 7pm. Friday and Saturday nights spin off with Happy Hour old school, cumbias and top 40. Saturday nights are packed as the location is prime real estate to watch the Glendale Cruise from their outdoor patios. Lastly their food is tasty. They have revamped their menu but left many known Specialty Dishes for those wanting a taste of Mexico. Chef puts out good quality at a reasonable price. Servings are generous. I read mixed reviews but honestly go for yourself and give them a try. Expect busy and expect fun. Come and dance and eat the night away!
