"I love sitting at the bar at Flanny's and enjoying a few craft beers. They have a fantastic selection of unique and rare beers on tap, as well as a solid draft selection. I can't speak to the quality…" - andrew k

"Great service and nice ambiance, but the food doesn't hold up. I started with the spinach, apple and Gorgonzola salad, which comes with chicken, and none of the flavors worked right. The nicest…" - andrew k

"Great sound, nicely laid out space, good service, solid beers on tap... This place is a game-changer. The lounge area on the street is awesome, and opens today (and everyday) from four PM till 2 AM.…" - andrew k

"Delicious! The Hey Joe Special is comprised of perfectly tender and moist chicken (served on the bone, slightly awkward/messy but really really perfectly done), beautifully seasoned pork, and lumpia…" - andrew k

"Happy hour at the bar (I ended up w/ a couple glasses of wine - nothing special but not bad for under $5 each, either) yesterday turned into "hey, are you hungry?" "I could eat..." "well, let's see…" - andrew k

"Five stars for the cocktails, desserts, and service, four stars for the entrees I've sampled so far and the ambiance. Over a total of four visits to CPH, I've sampled five of their cocktails and a…" - andrew k

"i'm no 'cue expert, but I like food, so I'll toss in my two cents. I had the rib tips (a special) last night. They were dry and a little overcooked, yet still miraculously tender. They were sauced to…" - andrew k

"I have and will continue to dream about the maple bacon creme brulee. Sure it sounds weird. It was a little weird, actually. The most important point, however, was that IT WAS DELICIOUS." - andrew k

"It may have taken a little while, but I'm finally in love with St. Francis. What'd it take? A pear & blue cheese salad, and a delicious peartini. I *love* their mixed drinks here." - andrew k

"I don't like the food that I've had here so far. the fries are just plain disappointing. they play awful, terrible popular music that makes me want to slit my wrists. the music is interspersed with…" - andrew k

"Great food, good service, low prices... this place is a win as far as i'm concerned. i need to keep working on the pizza to find a favorite, but in the meantime i'll keep coming back for that italian…" - andrew k

"Opening night! Loved it. I tried the brussels sprouts and the grits 'n' sausage appetizers, and both were excellent. I ate the chicken 'n' dumplings main dish, and it was perfect. the vegetables…" - andrew k

"Great bruschetta (if you've been to sister restaurant 5th and Wine, the selections should look very familiar) $5 glasses of wine till 6, and sandwiches or burgers or sliders or salads that should be…" - andrew k

"I am in love with Hanny's. They now have a new upscale classic drink menu that is on the pricey side, but looks AMAZING. So far, I've tried the English Garden, which supplants any other mixed drink…" - andrew k

"The one reason I really really enjoy St. Francis is the atmosphere; the design is simply stunning. The modern yet warmly welcoming space is high on my list of favorite designs in Phoenix. Check it…" - andrew k

"How I write Yelp reviews, by Andrew K. Fromaz. (this IS my real name. my real nom de plume) I start out by identifying an establishment I vaguely want to try, and finding an occasion or reason to go…" - andrew k

"Locally owned, great selection, clean and shiny, what's not to love? It's cheap, they have lovely ladies for me to check out while I check out, and you should all start shopping there immediately." - andrew k

"Carly's has a bit of a reputation among Phoenicians and downtowners. It's tiny, so they usually have a maximum of three people working there at any given time. Most people discover Carly's on a…" - andrew k

"Any day a 6 lane, super high speed stretch of road closes to auto traffic in favor of foot traffic is a good day in Phoenix. With the festival, you not only get 2 such days, but you also get a huge…" - andrew k

"There's a Phoenix New Times gimmick-column in which a somewhat jaded music aficionado only listens to and reviews music released in 2010, called "Nothing Not New." Well tonight, friends, I could…" - andrew k

"Joe, at the door, is great, the music is loud, the bathrooms are gross, the bartender is decent enough, the booze is reasonable (were $3 "you call its" a special for everyone for the hour before music…" - andrew k

"The new, old El Chorro Lodge has been reopened for all of two days, and a friend of a friend managed to secure a reservation during their soft opening, so I got an opportunity to check it out. I was…" - andrew k

"Great event, as usual! The pianists/band did a mostly excellent job tackling my request, All Along the Watchtower, the service was fantastic, the food was good, and the margaritas were amazing. Five…" - andrew k

"One of our suppliers insists on taking us here for lunch about once a quarter. It kinda sucks. Not offensive, but awfully boring. Things on the broad menu look like they should be better than they…" - andrew k

"My first introduction to Ethopian food, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. It's interesting and unusual, but nothing about it could be offensive. It's just not *that* weird, despite how it…" - andrew k

"Fees, fees, and more fees. They get you coming and going, and then are understaffed so you get to stand in line for at least thirty minutes. You'd think with all these fees that they'd be able to…" - andrew k

"Located on 40 acres "in the heart of Cochise County not far from Tombstone," this AZ winery produces some quality sips. Sam Pillsbury, the brains behind the operation, is partial to Rhone varieties.…" - andrew k
