    Jacuzzi  ..   Seems they are prepared for winter too!  LOL

    You would be a fool not to go there ... By FAR, one of the BEST Hotel/Bar/Restaurant/Pool combos in the area! I prefer it over the Westin easily! Take it from someone who has been on the road for a long time, almost 26yrs now!!! Stay here, trust me! The convenience in the area is beyond all of Tempe and Phoenix by far!!! I'll never stay at any other hotel near SKY Harbor ever again!!

    Eureka was such a great find! I really enjoyed this place from the moment we walked in. The…read moreambience was great and honestly a little more than what I expected from a cocktail bar. It had a really nice upscale feel while still being relaxed and comfortable. The cocktails were excellent, the food was delicious, and even the music playing overhead was on point. It was the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, enjoy yourself and keep sipping cocktails. I did have a few but my favorite was the floor is lava, while my wife enjoyed a classic margarita. They also have a really nice kids menu and some great appetizers, so it worked perfectly for our family. Our waiter, Elias, was very nice and told us that Eureka was known for their burgers. Well, he was right! The burger was excellent and those truffle fries with the fresh grated cheese on top were absolutely delicious. You can have your burger cooked to whichever style you like, I like medium myself. I would order both again without hesitation. The service was another highlight. The manager even came out to help bring our food, and you could tell everyone was working together. The entire staff seemed to be in sync, which was really nice to see. This was easily one of my favorite places we visited while in the area. Great food, great cocktails, great atmosphere and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely come back. All I have to say is... Eureka!!

It's always nice coming back and still recognizing some of the same staff, and they're just as great as I remember. A huge shoutout to Felisha especially! She's always incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes sure everything is taken care of. The food is consistently amazing, the drinks always come out great, and the service has always been quick. I've also had nothing but positive experiences with the management here. Eureka has been one of my go-to spots in Tempe since it opened, and it's awesome to see that the quality of the food and the people working here hasn't changed. Definitely deserves some recognition!

    Four Peaks Brewing Co is a longtime favorite since they opened in 1996 at the original Tempe…read morelocation (just east of ASU Main Campus) Great ambiance inside and out... a historic building with high vaulted ceilings, original clarestory windows, exposed brick walls... very chill vibe, with great food (not typical frozen stuff)... today I had the French dip on a brioche roll with a side of pasta salad... sooo delicious! This location is perfect for a date, family gatherings or work social events in the private area... they also offer tours of the brewery area... a fun place to watch any sports, especially ASU games!

    This was our first stop on the weekend trip to Phoenix and we were so glad we chose this place…read more Parking: They have additional parking in the back. Make sure you don't park in the parking for the cafe next door. Drinks: They have a lot of beer options and I was amazed they're all brewed there. My husband and I tried different beers recommended by our server and we both loved our drinks. Food: we ordered the cheese bread, salad, and pretzel burger. I loved them all, but especially the cheese flat bread was AMAZING. Service: our server was really nice and knowledgeable about their beer options. Service was a little slow but it was a pretty busy day on Saturday so it's understandable. Highly recommend this place! I'd love to go back if I'm in Phoenix again.

    After visiting Boondocks in Scottsdale on Saturday, we decided to check out Boondocks in Tempe…read moresince we stayed down there after the ASU game last night. The atmosphere was amazing, and our bartender was fantastic! Unfortunately, about 20 minutes in, I was sweating so badly that I literally had sweat dripping down my nose and face. We ended up paying for our drinks and heading to another bar because we just couldn't handle the heat. That being said, this place is really cool and has a great vibe. If the inside had been comfortably air-conditioned, this easily would have been a five-star experience. Definitely worth checking out--just make sure the AC is working before you settle in!

The maple wings were about the same. Decent bar food but nothing that stands out. Happy hour deals are considerable for stopping by. Not a bad place to hang out for some drinks and bites. The TRIVIA was okay. You are pretty much self guided. The host doesn't really talk during the entire trivia, so you just have to make sure to pay attention to the tv screen, if you can see it. At least it gives you a time warning alerts so you get answers before the time expiration. It is displayed in the corner so get a good seat. The questions were not too hard, ranging from picture clues to questions and multiple choice. There is an app to use for the trivia so leave yourself enough time to set up if it is your first time.

    This would be my first time to this place as for my husband he had been here a handful of times…read more We came for dinner and wasn't sure if we would be able to get seating without a long wait, but we were in luck. We choose to sit indoors. The restaurant is very cozy with dimmed lighting to add to the evening ambiance. It has a casual feel but you can dress up or down. Some people were casual and some more dressed up. We were seated at the front by the stage where live music was about to start. I thought this would be nice since I do enjoy live music. Well the speakers were facing right at our table and it was noticeably loud when the entertainer began to play. We asked for another table. We could not hear ourselves talking. I ordered a cocktail, The Giddy Up Espresso Martini. That was very delicious! They do have a full bar, it's nice to have choices as far as alcoholic beverages. Our food, Fish & Chips, BBQ Nachos, Aged Manchego, Crusty Bread Garlic Oil & Balsamic, and Molinari Sopressata. Everything was absolutely delicious! The fries with the Fish were perfect. My favorite besides the Martini. was the Crusty Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Our server was the best! Amiriya made sure our drinks stayed filled and asked us what we thought about the food. Even on this busy night. After our meal we walked around the outside seating and game area. This place is a fun place to meet with others especially with the outdoor/patio game area. I would love to come back when in AZ.. But, I don't have to wait until then because we have a CD restaurant in the San Diego area! Woohoo! I can't wait to try some other dishes and have another Espresso Martini. I probably would pay for a shot of Bailey's added to the drink. Restaurant parking is busy but they do have additional parking just across the way. It happened to be busy because we were up against Valentine's Day weekend.

    Great space for events! The regular restaurant area is very noisy, and the metal chairs are…read morehorrible. The food could be amazing, but with this atmosphere and lack of comfort, I'm just not having a good time. Service was fine - efficient. Food was tasty.
