Well the bar can be an expensive place. Try happy hour. I got trashed monday evening by 7:30 for about 8 dollars ;) . Here in Tempe and Scottsdale, the popular bars usually have a cover on the weekends but with some sort of special on drinks. It's usually worth the money; once youre inside, theres the hottest girls as far as the eyes can see.....this is making me thirsty, think i'll have a Sam Adams Seasonal. Cheers!
