"This retro bar opened in Phoenix’s Melrose District in early 2019, and draws its considerable fan base from the neighborhood and beyond. Linoleum floors, funky lamps, and wood-paneled walls conjure the 1970s, as do the jukebox and working cigarette machine. Bar tops feature wood salvaged from an abandoned bowling alley. Drinkers can sip RC Cola and throw back lowbrow snacks flown in from the Midwest. Classic well drinks are affordable and solid. The beer list features macros and micros, with a few local all-stars, like Mother Road’s Tower Station IPA. An open, grassy stretch and cornhole game out back make for a fun patio." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
