A small church is located on the premises with services every Sunday, should you need to atone for your indulgent acts earlier in the weekend, pardner. The menu has unrivaled barbecue and the bar has one of the biggest selections of beers and booze in Cave Creek.
There's a large dance floor if you'd rather stay closer to the ground when two-stepping, though. Inside, you can hop atop the bar to dance (there's an overhead rail to prevent accidental faceplants) or ride in a swing hanging from the ceiling. The Chip's sprawling compound has fire pits, lawn games, and an outside stage area with live bands on weekends. Here are a few more: The sheer amount of features and distractions it boasts, some of which aren't found elsewhere. That's one way this joint rises above the rest of the herd.
High praise indeed.Įvery honky-tonk around these parts has tallboys, twangy tunes, and rustic kitsch, but nothing as truly cowboy or cowgirl as Buffalo Chip's outdoor rodeo arena where amateur and pro riders can attempt on Wednesdays and Fridays to hang on for eight seconds. It's even gotten a thumbs-up from local blues guru and Rhythm Room owner Bob Corritore. Local blues/R&B greats like Lucius Parr, Francine Reed, and Big Pete Pearson have frequented the stage, as have such jazz scene mainstays as Delphine Cortez, Sandra Bassett, and We3. Their faith in the project, which cost an estimated $500,000 to create, was shaken when COVID-19 delayed its debut for an entire year. The retired couple, both longtime worshippers of the blues, built the club as a temple to the art form, with great acoustics, plush seating, and speakeasy decor. But a venue dedicated to showcasing the genre and its artists on that side of town hadn't been tried until Cindi Jackson and Paul Vincent Perez opened Westside Blues & Jazz at the Glendale Market Square shopping center in April. A few scattered places in the area have hosted jam sessions or occasional one-offs by musicians, sure. The west Valley isn't exactly known for being a blues hotbed.
McKenzie's is just a solid, reliable, well-run place where you can come as you are - really, all we ask of a neighborhood bar. The kitchen is open late, till 12:30 a.m. It's located just off the Grand Canal, making it a good place to stop for a cold beer while out on a bike ride. You'll usually see the same bartenders, and eventually, they'll remember your name. They serve cheese curds and there's a dartboard.
It has some dive-like qualities - street signs, license plates, and yet more Christmas lights provide a good chunk of the decoration - but it's neither filthy nor too-cool-for-school. You'll notice McKenzie's from the street by the thousands of colorful lights dangling down off the gutters. Which makes it all the more impressive that the proprietors of the place have cultivated a homey vibe more reminiscent of a corner bar in Milwaukee than a McBar in central Phoenix. In some ways, it's not much of a neighborhood.
