He was sweet and the energy and vibe was great!

It's gay friendly and overall friendly!! I have always seen this mesa saloon every time I come to get my tire needs met. Even cooler! Very friendly bartender and a few patrons came right after me. I would like to come on a busier night for an additional review! After getting some new bartenders, it's a great place to be. The new staff are attentive, quick and personable.

It's a great place to grab a few drinks, which can quickly turn into costa the whole night there. Gay lighting is just right, where you aren't blinded but can maintain wallflower status just fine in the shadows. The jukebox is usually on point with everyone throwing in their hits and anthems throughout the night.

The restrooms are clean and generally isn't too much of an issue with the wait. The pool table patrons are fun to watch. I just wish they didn't allow smoking right outside the door.
