This is a phoenix tradition for over 40 years. The food is excellent, but the atmosphere is something from an era long since gone away. A bit expensive.

Entertainment & Activities
Home of the Diamond Backs. The stop at 3rd St/Jefferson is VERY close to Chase Field and US Airways Center. Most people know that there is a light rail stop at 3rd St/Jefferson near Chase Field, but new riders might not realize that this is an east bound train. Not to worry, you just need to know your way around.
If coming from North Phoenix, you will arrive right outside of the door at 3rd/Jefferson, but when going home you will walk about a block and a half to the 3rd St/Washington stop. The reverse is obviously true for people coming from the East Valley. ( Exit at 3rd / Washington and head south to the ballpark )
