Is that place still in business? I never remember that it's there, and the one or two times I've looked in, I've never seen any customers.
More generally, College is definitely beginning to pick up, but a lot of ASU sports fans still think of Mill Avenue as their destination for eating and drinking before and after.

Yup, that's The College Bar and Grill I mentioned above. Tim Healey's boy is part owner now. He gets the whole college crowd before games thing.
I think that spot in the University House will eventually be the prime spot around there if done right. I've owned a restaurant years ago, and every time I see that place I think how if I hadn't gone through an expensive divorce, that that would be the one place I'd seriously look into with an Italian sports bar concept I have in mind. Especially now with the explosive apartment and hotel growth within walking distance.
