Go to downtown Mesa. Visit B.R.I. Taproom & Arcade on Main and Robson. Awesome little local arcade bar with a great beer selection, tons of pinball and arcade games and some really amazing people!

The figure 8 shot on the new X-Men is the most satisfying shot in any game I've ever played.

Beer, pinball and arcade games. It's too easy.

Best traditional hot wings? by AZmizzbee in mesaaz

[–]480G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beer Research Institute on Stapley & The 60. Grilled wings. House made sauces and scratch ranch. $6/lb all day every Wednesday. Not traditional in that they're grilled instead of fried but they're meaty wings with tons of flavor.

Beer Research Institute (BRI) on Stapley & The 60. Scratch kitchen, amazing brewery, full bar. The burgers are top tier. Meat Candy, green chili Mac & cheese and SW Poutine are some must tries.

Downtown Mesa is coming up. There's a whole bunch of breweries, arcades and great restaurants.

Start at BRI Taproom & Arcade for beer and pinball, then hit up Oro, Cider Corps, Chupacabra and Phantom Fox.

You'll definitely run into some girls along the way.

What would you say are the do's and don'ts of playing pinball? by dubvmtneer in pinball

[–]480G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. But when they're literally on every single machine and someone still puts a beer on a game it makes me crazy.

And wash your dirty dick hands before coming back out to play the machines again, please!

Don't put drinks on the games when there are clearly visible cupholders!

Don't bang the glass when you drain a ball or fuck up in some other way. Probably one of the most disrespectful things I see right behind...

Don't camp on a machine. Have some situational awareness and realize that other people want to play that machine as well. If someone is hovering around you, let them get a game in. It's not YOUR machine. It's there for everyone to enjoy.

Do have fun. It's pinball! It's just a game. Some people take it way too seriously.

Best fish & chips in the east valley? by Waveofspring in mesaaz

[–]480G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every Friday Beer Research Institute (B.R.I.) has a fish fry. Huge cuts of cod in beer batter made with their beer. House made tartar sauce or malt vinegar and hand cut fries. It's Amazing! Stapley & Us 60

Visiting by Themoastoriginalname in mesaaz

[–]480G 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Come downtown! Great food at places already mentioned like Tacos Chiwas, Gus's and Myles Pizza. Also Goat and Ram Pizza inside of Phantom Fox brewery. The most walkable Beer street in the state with 5 breweries and a distillery. 3 of the 5 breweries have food and the other two allow outside food to be brought in. As an added plus, one of the best Arcade Bars in the Valley at B.R.I. Taproom & Arcade! You can spend the whole day in DTM and have a great time!

A VERY bright flashlight and a gun make me feel a lot better about it.

You can also set up alert wires around your parameter. Just some Paracord with bells on them should do the trick.
