I've recently been making occasional trips to the uber-suburbia of Phoenix to visit friends and most recently, this past weekend in celebration of one who had just turned his long-awaited 21. For some reason, finding a bar in which to indulge in libations for said birthday was some sort of challenge.\n\nBut we somehow found ourselves at Enoch's, a locals bar in a new-looking strip mall...quite the antithesis of my hometown dive bars built in buildings pre-dating asbestos laws. But it was a Friday night and me my homies were ready to throw down some shots. We walked into Enoch's which had a live band which played excellent Skynnard covers, a packed square bar in the center, and a row pool tables all occupied. Our bartender, Flash, kept us happy with shots a-flowing, a great mark of service, I found, for a moderately packed Friday. I use the word \"moderately, because even though every stool at the bar was filled, there was still adequate room to walk around.\n\nSo Enoch's gets the 4 stars because Flash was a superstar, the band kicked ass, the bar had a good vibe, and my 21 y/o friend who had his 1st chocolate cake shot on Friday is still raving about how good it is...and today is Sunday.
