You can tell she cares about her guests and loves what she does. Great food, great vibe, and Sara made it even better. I'll definitely be coming back and asking for her again!

So disappointed. I have been going here for years for the Fish and Chips. I was so craving it and…read moresince it was my cheat day, this was devastating. (dramatic, I know). The coleslaw was disgusting. I almost threw up. The waitress told me with a beaming smirk, she "loves our coleslaw." I handed it to her and said "try it". She declined. Since I was craving the CHIPS part of the meal (finally some carbs), I was horrified (drama again) to find my fries were cold and severely floppy. No crispiness what so ever. Maybe a one off, but what a let down. And I have to remember this every time I'm craving carbs until my next cheat day.

I remember touring the administrative offices, the dining hall, the classrooms, the residence halls, and other random buildings, but the most memorable stop was The Pub, which was rooted in much Thunderbird tradition. Now, years later with a new building in place at ASU, I was delighted to learn that The Pub still exists but in a new space (on the fifth floor). I recently stopped by to see what it looked like and try one of their dishes. In the spirit of Thunderbird, at The Pub, it is said that "global flavors and local charm come together to create an unforgettable dining experience." This is a great place for a meal with co-workers, hosting a gathering for a special celebration, or having a low-key meal. I took a book and gave it a try on my own. The sides include chicken wings, chicken tenders, hummus snack plate, or various ways to prepare fries. They have soup, salad, flatbread, entree bowls, and many burgers and sandwiches. They also have all sorts of drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It was national root beer float day (or something of the sort), so every burger came with a free root beer float. I jumped at that and got the Thunderbird Pub Burger (seasoned 6oz all beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, American Cheese, signature pub sauce Brioche Bun, served with Crispy French Fries). It was delicious!! In fact, it was better than delicious when paired with a free root beer float! They have regular hours of noon to 5 PM on weekdays (though they are open until 9 PM on Thursdays. They do have seasonal hours when they close early or entirely when classes are not in session. Happy hour specials are from 3-5 PM daily. While there are many great places to eat at ASU, I certainly recommend The Pub at Thunderbird.

The Theodore is great for grabbing cocktails before a show at The Nash or coming for awesome Thai/ Laotian food offered by Phonomenal Street Eats food truck. Parking is always nutty but was able to snag metered parking around the corner. The lot closest is about $50. Bartenders are so knowledgeable, cool and pretty chill. Don't be a prick. Loved the suggestions and got to sample before I decided on the Mexican lager with pineapple while my brother had pretty much every hazy IPA on the board. Forgot to get the brewing company for my lager but definitely my top favorite. I didn't get to try the Candy Bar Milk Stout but try it and give me your feedback. I did try the candy cane stout and wasn't for me. It was syrupy and a bit too sweet for a stout but hey stay festive folks! Drink beer here at The Theodore and good things happen!

And a special shout-out to Trueblood on security -- one of the best I've ever seen. He was respectful, alert, and professional, but also had a calm presence that made everyone feel safe and welcome. That's a rare combination, and he really elevated the experience. Great staff, great music, great energy. I'll definitely be back. Dan / Project NAGA

You can never go wrong here! I've been going to The Whining Pig (Downtown Phoenix) since I moved…read morehere from NYC in 2021, and at this point it's basically part of my personality. This is my at-least-once-a-month spot for catching up with friends, popping in solo, or grabbing a "just one drink" that may or may not turn into two. The beer selection is massive, borderline intimidating, and the wine list rotates often, which I love. Pro tip: don't play beer roulette unless you enjoy surprises that might hurt your feelings. Instead, tell the bartender what you like and they'll work their magic, usually with a taste so you don't commit to something you regret. As a wine drinker, I especially appreciate when they suggest something I wouldn't normally order and absolutely nail it. The vibe is casual but a sort of kind of sexy (weird). The dim lighting, great energy, and zero pressure might be it. Bar seating up front, games if you're feeling social, and high tables in the back for groups or communal mingling. It's the kind of place where you can settle in... or pop in, pop out, and still feel satisfied without spending your rent money. They have small bites like grilled cheese and occasional cheese plates, but let's be honest, this is not a food destination, and that's perfectly fine. My beer-loving friends can happily sample half the menu while I sip a perfectly chilled Sauvignon Blanc and judge none of it. And finally, the real MVPs: the bartenders. Always friendly, always helpful, always down to chat, especially if you're there solo (hi, it's me again!). They'll listen to you ramble, offer great suggestions, and somehow make you feel like a regular even if you're just stopping in briefly. Reliable, fun, unpretentious, and consistently solid. The Whining Pig is a downtown staple for a reason.

The staff here absolutely crush it -- friendly, quick with a drink, and they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time walking in. The place has that perfect dive-bar charm: cool lighting, fun decor, and just the right amount of energy without feeling overcrowded. Tonight they even had a food contest going on, which made the whole night a blast. Honestly, I've seen a few of those one-star reviews and can't help but think those folks must've had a bad day -- because Swizzle is exactly what a neighborhood bar should be: chill, affordable, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for a spot to watch the game, hang with friends, or just unwind after work, this is it. Swizzle is an easy five stars.
