We made a reservation for Tuesday night trivia and received a confirmation email. When we arrived at 6:45 pm, the restaurant was closed. No explanation or apology for as given. Our out of town guests were disappointed and I was embarrassed.

I have recieved 4 emails to review an experience I never had because this restaurant has been closed for the past 4 days and the entire time I've been in Phoenix despite saying they are open online and allowing me to make a reservation earlier in the week. This place is a scam.

QR code menu dated & annoying but reciting of wines with no price was over the top. At least display wines to see what you're getting. I blame Mgmt, server seemed inexperienced but diligent, & food was good. I won't be back.

Sad, completely dead on a Saturday night at 9pm. The kitchen was closed (they don't bother to tell you that ahead of time). No live music as advertised, we all left and went elsewhere.

This was a neat little spot for a bite and a few drinks! The food was amazing and the drinks were awesome. I got the fried cauliflower as an appetizer and I was blown away! It was basically a full head! Absolutely delicious and piping hot! The BBQ chicken sandwich was awesome and the side fries were the best!

Been sitting here for 30+ minutes. They were capable of taking my drink order after 5-10 minutes but have yet to come back to take my food order or refill my drinks. Too busy worried about setting up for Trivia. Others have walked out. Yikes!

We happened to go during happy hour. The happy hour deals are worth it! I don't think I would pay full price ($14) for a cocktail though. The nachos came out cold which was unfortunate. I liked the brie mac and cheese and the sliders were also good. I would recommend the Hornet's Elbow but the Frenemie of Mine was super sweet. I don't think I would come here unless it was Happy Hour for a drink and I would like to try the desserts next time and see if they are good.

It was a nice happy hour with wonderful service. Unfortunately the food was mediocre, soggy cold fries and over fried Brie. Will try again another

Came here for date night and this place was just what the doctor ordered. Really enjoyed the patio seating and we each got Mules (Moscow and Mexican) to drink.Ordered the chicken dinner and shrimp tacos. Both very tasty, just be careful with the tacos since they can get a little messy!Also worth noting, the late 2000s party hits were a nice little throwback to listen to while enjoying our meal

I work nearby and been here a lot with various people/coworkers and they do make good cocktails.However, their happy hour is a total joke despite being til 8pm. The prices are still very high and the food portions are ridiculous (you get a worse value than the normal menu). For example, their truffle fries are a tiny handful, or the Buffalo cauliflower wings (which are good) you only get four. I once got the nachos and it's like something a high person throws together in their microwave. Just terrible portions on their HH menu.Not to mention they always serve their beer on tap lukewarm! It's gross and it's not just me, my gf also noticed it. I've even told them before and they think it's normal. It's not.The only good thing here is their cocktails during happy hour, that's it. I used to go during trivia nights too but even that is very bland with a boring host now. The last time I went a large group came (teams are only supposed to have 6 but they had 8-10), was obnoxiously drunk and openly cheating the whole time, they "won" and the host did nothing. That was when I decided not to come here again.TL;DR: Go only for a cocktail or two during HH, otherwise it's overpriced for what you get.Edit: Owner says it was an "off-day" which isn't true at all. I've been there like 10 times, the portions are always tiny for HH. It's a big reason I stopped going.

Came for happy hour. I ordered the bbq sliders and they were delicious, they came with a side of fries that were even better. I also ordered a cosmopolitan which was great.

Came in on 9/13. Staff did not greet us or serve us. Tried to get staffs attention and they saw us and actively ignored us. Left after 20 minutes without ordering anything because we couldn’t. The food looked good it would have been great to try some.

I would recommend this places. I enjoyed it a lot. I just felt bad for our server cause she was all alone until night shift came on. Friday happy should really have two servers. Or the bartender should help. Just my thought.

We were so excited to try this place but were unfortunately very disappointed by the awful experience we received. We were verbally attacked by the manager as he told me I was “perching” a table so he was no longer going to give it to me. I was actually just trying to find him to let him know we would wait at the bar for a table since he gave every table away even though we had a reservation. When I finally did find him since he wasn’t at the host stand, we met at the EMPTY table at the same time. I said, “are we able to take this one since it’s available?” He met me there and was about to wipe it down. He said that since I was “perching,” he no longer wanted to give it to me and “we could just leave.” He was so incredibly disrespectful to all four of us.10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING HERE!!!

We made a reservation and when we arrived we had to push the tables together for our party. Drinks were not refilled or offered when empty. The hummus came with 5 chips and you were charged if you ordered extra chips. Overall I will not be returning.
