Great local bar. It's right off the freeway and they always have parking. Food is good and comes out quickly. Side patio is wide open and great for small gatherings or to watch football on the weekends.

The bloody Mary's are great but come in a super small glass.The Cuban sandwich I had was horrible. Dry, flavorless pork, a weird and uneven slice of ham with only partial coverage. The bread was a ciabatta roll that didn't have the toasted texture that you generally expect with a Cuban sandwich.Honestly if you can't make a sandwich remotely as good as a country that's been under an embargo for decades, you should not serve it at all.

Decent place to have drinks and food. Service was good, and the food was decent as well. Prices were a little too high due to the quality of food, but that's what you get in Scottsdale. This is not a knock on the food as it was good. Overall I would come back and their half hour menu had some very good and well priced drinks.

This is a smallish sports bar. It has a kind of dive-y feel to it, but we really liked the food and our server was nice. Basic tables and chairs, nothing fancy. This would probably be a good place to watch a game. I had a veggie burger with tots and it exceeded my expectations. Nice bun and the patty itself was good quality....not like some of those cardboard tasting veggie patties. Prices were reasonable.

We stopped in today with a large baseball team group and this restaurant and their team went above and beyond accommodating all of us in record time. Special mention to Jess, Chris, and Blanca for making us all feel welcome and tending to all of our needs in a very difficult situation. The food was awesome and the drinks were superb. We've been to a lot of restaurants with our team and I've never seen these guys work together and make things happen like they did today. You all are doing a great job and we will definitely be back!!

We dropped in here with a group of 30 kids and parents after a baseball game and they were happy to have us! Jess and Chris worked together, the kitchen nailed all the food to deliver outstanding service and great food. Definitely visit this place if you need a place to eat, watch games and are in the area!

I went late night. It was empty but most of the staff just stood to the side on their phones. Everyone was friendly but probably won't go back. I didn't eat so I can't speak on the food.

We had lunch Feb 2024. The service was slow and food was mediocre. The staff was very friendly, and the waitress was great, but the food was just OK. Would probably not eat there again.
