Done and Done.

Went to "Friends" "Friends Again" "Friends Still" or whatever they are called this time when I was in town.... Ordered a rum and coke and got a miller light, the music was very odd for the crowd, had the brunch, but won't do that again. Not sure how this place keeps it's doors open. But there are many choices to go in Phx. in the same neighborhood. I'm giving up on this one. Parking is an issue, the homeless up and down Indian Rd. even makes me worry about my rental car. Going to pass on this place for now on.

OK for small bar

The bar looks like it could be a chill spot, BUT if ur looking to chill on a MONDAY and you don't want to leave with a headache do not go to this bar. Ordered a pitcher and had to beers and couldn't even enjoy it!!!!!! It is karaoke night and they BLARE the music so not only can you not have a conversation with the person next to you... You have to sit there an listen to tone deaf people TRY and sing karaoke. Don't know how the other nights are but I know I won't be back on a Monday if I even go back. Only good thing is bartender was nice and attentive.

Used to be great

They have made so many changes and are very lost. Its used to be a mans bar- I went in there to straight twinks who did not know how to make a simple drink. The owner was rude and looked like he was on drugs. Sad used to be so much fun
