I really like Maloney's on University because it is a smaller bar with less a-holes, but it still has a lively scene of good looking people who aren't all packed in like sardines. The bartenders are usually friendly, which is not always a given at other places. Drinks are reasonable and there is a good two for one happy hour. I've never had the food but my friends like it. They have a bunch of flat screen tv's and they play funny clips from saturday night live and classic comedy movies in between the songs, and everyone seems to like that. Maloney's is nice if you want to be somewhere with a college crowd but avoid mill and all the hobos, jerks, and middle schoolers you have to fight your way through to get into a bar there. Maloney's is a great place to have a few drinks with some friends. However, if you're willing to travel a bit farther north, I recommend Devil's Martini in Scottsdale as my particular bar of choice for it's awesome food, cheap drinks, and sexy clientele!
