The Rooster has an upscale dive bar feel with a welcoming vibe and eclectic décor that makes it feel both fun and comfortable. I was told I had to try the frozen espresso martini, and it did not disappoint. It was creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. It was definitely like a dessert! After that, I asked what other frozen drinks were on the menu and was told about the frozen orange creamsicle with vodka. Of course, I had to try it and wow, it was fantastic! Refreshing, citrusy, and perfect for a warm day. We had already eaten lunch, so we only stopped in for drinks, but all of the food coming out of the kitchen looked great. We did order the fried pickles to share, and they were very good. We'll definitely be back to The Rooster to watch a game and enjoy another frozen espresso martini or orange creamsicle sometime soon.

Located in Desert Ridge Marketplace, I checked out The Whining Pig on a Saturday night. Since I…read morelive in the area, I walked over. There is ample parking if you're driving. This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

The beer and cocktail selection is exactly what you'd expect from this type of neighborhood tavern. The menu had a surprisingly wide variety of food options. I only stopped in for a beverage this time, so I didn't get a chance to try the food, but the options looked good and I'm looking forward to coming back to give them a try. Overall, it's a nice local spot with a comfortable vibe, good service, and plenty of potential for a future visit.

We went to meet a friend in town on a Friday night. The place was very busy. Service was nice but a…read morebit slower due to the crowd. Our server brought us our drinks and spilled about a quarter of each beer on the floor getting them to us. We ordered some BLTs and sliders. The BLTs were dry and the sides (onion rings and tots) were cold and crispy for the onion rings but good for the tots. Drinks were good as well. Sliders were good but the slaw was gross. Our server deserted us after awhile without notice. I guess her shift ended. We did get another person helping us. Then the original server left and said she was sorry for deserting us on her way out, clearly drunk. The music was pretty loud, so it would be impossible to hear any of the sports going on. Overall, it was ok but I don't know that we would be back.

My husband had never been so I was excited to have him experience it. We headed over to Postinos on a Sunday afternoon and wanted to quick bite before meeting friends. We got to the establishment and were seated rather quickly. We ordered two soft drinks and the bruschetta board. My husband wanted to order more, but we were headed to another establishment to meet friends and eat - we decided to keep it light. We ordered the apple and fig, salmon, sweet and spicy jam, and Prosciutto Di Parma, Fig & Mascarpone. Throughout the week, my husband continued to recommend other people head over there as it was close to our hotel. When asked, his favorite was the salmon. Mine was the prosciutto. We both sat there and wished it were located in Florida where we live! Thanks for an amazing experience!

The bartender came out from the bar and sat us and told us we would be with someone shortly. We ended up not being addressed at all for 15 minutes until I asked the bartender can we have water & lemons. He brought us water right away. I had to ask over five times for lemons, additionally to our server. We both ordered Steak Frites which is one of my favorite dishes. I ordered mine medium, and it came out dead and the texture of rubber. I sent it back and asked them to remake it medium rare just to be sure this time. It came out decently medium rare however I was able to try the meat for the first time and it was a terrible cut. There was so much fat amongst the meat that I kept having to discard half of each piece. The truffle fries were amazing and some of the best I've had. The steak however, was probably the worst I've had. I was not offered any discount even though my meal came out after my company was done eating. I ended up boxing it to go. Probably will not be back.

I signed up for a bunch of reward programs before my birthday through the Toast app, and this…read morerestaurant was one of them. Just for signing up, I got enough bonus points for $5 off, plus $5 off for my birthday, so $10 total. I was in the area picking up another meal and decided to maximize my outing by ordering from here as well. It was easy using the app and ordering my food. I chose the 4 tender and tots meal ($10.99) and chose their homestyle tenders and for the two dry rubs, I chose Jalapeno Garlic Ranch and Chili Lime with the Mango Habanero (Spicy Sweet Mango) sauce. The sauces sounded really good and it was tough choosing one. ASAP orders are ready in 15 minutes but I chose a pickup time of 30 min. This restaurant is located on the north side of FLW, east of the 101 with a few other businesses and food spots. There was plenty of parking and they even have curbside pickup, which is cool. There were two doors to enter from and a few people dining in. Lots of seating. Pickup was quick and easy and I was on my way. The tots were yummy, I got the regular ones but am intrigued by their maple ones. The chicken tenders were full of flavor, especially with the sauce. I love that they are oven grilled as opposed to fried, and they were tasty. The instructions on the box say to pour the sauce inside and shake it up, but I decided to just dip the chicken in the sauce. I may have to try that method next time. Overall, this was a great choice for lunch and I'm glad I got to try it!

And I finally did. And it was great. Friend of mine welcomed me to town and suggested we meet at HPH for dinner. It was a weeknight but we had reservations, so there was no wait. I don't know that we would have gotten in otherwise, as it was 7:00pm and packed. Service was great but not obtrusive. We ordered a bottle of wine (I mistakenly thought it was 1/2 price wine night but it turns out I can't read my calendar) but it wasn't too expensive, and was a nice start for a meal with a friend I haven't seen in 30 years. We both ordered the Duck Fried Rice - me because it's what everyone told me I needed to do and he ordered it because he's had it several times and loves it. And I love it too now after my first taste. Of note, the portion size isn't huge. I was honestly hungry later in the evening, but otherwise it was the perfect dish. The restaurant is small, and in a strip mall with a tiny sign that is easy to miss. It's nice inside, and I wasn't crowded but there aren't many tables. A bit expensive for the portion size, but it was fantastic and worth it. Highly recommend.

Wren House Brewing Company is easily one of the more thoughtfully done brewery spaces around…read more Beer Their beer speaks for itself, but for anyone new, this is home to one of my favorite hazy IPAs, Spellbinder. Consistently solid and exactly what you want from the style. Service Laid-back and smooth. Everything feels dialed in without being overly formal, which fits the vibe perfectly. Ambience This is where they really separate themselves. Instead of the typical dim, sticker-covered, industrial brewery feel, this place is bright, clean, and curated. It honestly feels closer to a well-designed coffee shop, but built around great beer. Not a huge space, but comfortable enough to grab a pint and hang out without feeling cramped. Extras Huge bonus, they'll order Trevor's Liquor pizza for you and have it brought over. That alone makes it an easy stop. Overall I'm really glad this spot opened up nearby. It's perfect as a starting point for a night out. Grab a beer here, then head to dinner at one of the nearby spots. If you're into craft beer but want a cleaner, more elevated environment, this is a must-visit.
