How on earth have i not finished this review!? Well it is time to fix that!…read more We were in the area jack in June and we're all hungry for linner (lunch/dinner) and off to Yelp I went to search for a place for us to eat. That's how I came across Burgers & Brews! Our server had great energy and have us great info about the menu. Including the burger are handmade using chuck, brisket, and I believe sirloin. We order and after a little while our food starts coming out. HANDS DOWN - Best burger myself, my hubby, and the teenager have ever tasted outside of our own kitchen. From the flavor of the meat, the juiciness, everything...it was outstanding! The fat content in the beef is extra filling so we got full quickly. We ended up taking pretty much half of all our meals home. Lets just say this....We enjoyed our food so much that the kid wanted to go here for his birthday the following Saturday. Hubs and I didnt need to think twice. Im glad B&B is no where near us, cause if it were, we'd be going here at least a few times a month for "linner".

This is a very cool neighborhood bar. We have been here a bunch of times and most recently they had an 80's themed night and it was really fun. The bartenders were very fun and the owner, Bobby, was extremely friendly and made the overall experience fun. I also like their Juke box. It's one that you can use your phone and request songs and music videos without even getting up! Fun times. read more

A strait forward no frills bar with friendly bartenders and patrons. We spent a few hours here and enjoyed the night. I met a lot of employees and everyone was beyond friendly. A lot bigger than I thought when first walking in, with two bars, two floors and a full outdoor patio. The vibes here felt like home. 10/10.

I feel like I often give too many good reviews, but it is mainly due to studying other people's…read moreratings and wanting to not risk my money or time. However Aguilas took the cake for putting the Dive in Dive bar. We came in one weekend afternoon to shoot some pool after having run into the owner down in Rocky Point some time ago at his other nice bar with the same namesake. We also saw what he did to renovate the famed Nugget into a modern Mexican Cantina in Maryvale, so what could go wrong. First off the bartender who was a younger lady seemed more interested in her phone than taking orders and seemed a little bummed to work but I dont blame her I dont want to work. I can say the drinks were reasonable and they did have seltzer options for the wifey. The ambience was pretty white trash even for the westside and that's coning from white trash growing up on the westside. They do have two pool tables that were well taken care of but ac was spotty depending on where you stand. They also had smoking which was new to me outside of legion hauls and it got unbearable when two people lit up at once. However, the hypocrite that I am thought it was cool that I could vape like a teenage white girl without hiding it from the gestapo so kudos to them for pushing the boundaries. Nonetheless cigarette smoke is nasty and still dont understand why people think others want to huff their blow back. Maybe im allergic or something. Now from the rumor meal I gleaned that the owner has a dog that runs freely and I heard others brought their dogs. They do have a back patio where I saw a guy let the dog out to do his business, around that same time my wife found a dog turd in the corner of the bar which grossed her out. I gave a few thoughts about picking it up, but a man has to have a line in the sand on cleaning up another man or dogs crap. We shot quite a few games of pool mainly cause we had the bartender turn on the juke box in-between her youtube videos and put in a few songs only to find out there was a queue jammed up that was 15 tracks long. I have seen some reviews that the bathrooms weren't clean but in this case it wasnt true other than the aforementioned doggy poo corner. They do have darts and I must say great billiards tables with a lot of travel. I also had a former coworker and huge fan of Aguilas tell me they have a cool basement at nights for added festivities which sounded really cool and gave me valley bar or downtown Cornish vibes if they can pull that off. Honestly aside from the cigarette smoke and my wife getting skeeved out by doggie doody I could have over looked the sub par service. Maybe ill go back for some basement raves on the weekend and change my perception on the place cause life is to short to just have one bad experience. Edit: I forgot to mention the Drive thru liquor store in front of the bar. We went inside and the dude working the counter was awesome and they had a great beer and liquor select, see its just hard to right a bad review without feeling like a Karen but that liquor store and personnel is 5 stars

What should have been…read morea relaxed but enjoyable outing quickly turned into a frustrating test of patience due to the incredibly slow and inattentive service. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were an afterthought. It took far too long for anyone to even acknowledge us, and once they did, the delays continued at every step--ordering, drinks, food, and even getting the check. * The staff did seem particularly busy, however I've experienced busies of bars and clubs, and rarely are they at this level of sluggishness There was a noticeable lack of organization, and it gave the impression that customer service isn't a priority here. Not to mention, they give MOST of the attention to those who seem to be regulars or recurring customers thus making it MORE difficult to receive or even place an order, without individuals cutting you off or even talking over you. *The drinks at this bar were genuinely disappointing across the board. I ordered a tall modelo. The beer tasted off--flat, stale, and lacking any freshness, I couldn't even see any carbonation in my drink, this is something you'd expect from even a halfway decent establishment. It honestly made me question how long those kegs had been sitting around. * As for the ambiance, it was nothing special--just average at best. The vibe lacked energy and didn't make up for the poor service in any way. For a place that markets itself as a sports pub, the atmosphere felt flat and uninspired. * Overall, the combination of slow service and an unremarkable environment makes this a place I wouldn't recommend. There are plenty of other spots that offer a much better experience without the frustration. * Would have placed pictures but my visit to Mason's was so sour I left without a second thought. This place needs work there are plenty of other places and areas with far better service, drinks, food, and vibes.
