We ended up in Philly's to watch a UFC fight. Not wanting to deal with the Scottsdale venues full of crowds and high-prices, a nice neighborhood sports bar sounded perfect. There was a small cover at the door due to the fight, but we got a table near a TV with no problem. We only had appetizers, but there were some other things on the menu I can't wait to return to sample. Southwest cheesesteak with salsa and guacamole? Yes please. The chicken wings we did try were a solid B+. The honey flavor was actual honey, and the wings were very crispy. I also appreciated the quantity of carrots/celery.\n\nAlthough we weren't drinking and were seated away from the crowds, our server was still attentive, sticking her head out every so often to make sure we were still ok. At any other bar, the lack of alcohol would have depleted the level of service pretty quickly. \n\nUFC isn't exactly my thing, so if I'm going to get dragged to see it, I prefer a comfortable place with good food and Philly's fit the bill. But I think I will enjoy coming back without the MMA...actually, I'll likely prefer it.
