This bar transport from Iowa City is all over the valley, but unlike the Iowa version I feel it has no redeeming qualities. Bad food and funny tasting tap brews. Girlfriend's fake ID got stolen there, man, having a girlfriend under the drinking age sucks, I'm glad that's over.

I am writing this review with the perspective of going to school in Iowa where the original Vine is.  Its similar to the one off Gilbert and Prentiss in Iowa City and the food is the same.  I went there last weekend with my brother who also went to Iowa and really we just rehashed old stories about $2/dozen wings and steins.

I miss my maple hot wings up here in Portland so I got my fix and should be good for a little while.  It was refreshing to get back in the 'college bar' atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon vs. the 'I demand to be seen' lifestyle that is Scottsdale.

Happy Hour and daily specials = cheap and decent bar food and drinks

Good cheap lunch hour food.  Go for the wings!  The staff is nice, has a sports bar feel.

Can you go to ASU without getting drunk at the Vine at least a few times? I don't think so.  It must be a prerequisite.

The great thing about the Vine is that it's just this dive bar that college students seem to love for some reason.  The beer is cheap, the food is good and it's probably within walking distances of many apartment complexes.

They have a mighty fine fish and chips if my memory has held up and their beer specials usually result in $2 pints for a whole night. No wonder I don't remember much about the food.

as a breathing college student, i went to the Vine a few times. definitely a college bar! a cute little A-frame building, with standard bar decor, plastic beer flags, bar stools, pool tables, a small stage area for karaoke night.
they also have the typical greasy bar food and their wings are just a smidge above average.
there's often a cover (like $5) for their specialty nights i.e., $3 u-call-its (except for top shelf and red bull) night.
last i was there they had a "punching" arcade game. seriously it was a hanging boxing punching bag and you could take a stab at punching it as hard as you could muster. it was entertaining watching the bros line up for that...then watching them put to shame by this tough rock-a-billy chick in a dress!
anyway, usual college antics apply - puffing up around little blondes, karaoke of the ASU fight song, chanting before shots, etc. as not my style as that is, i really don't mind it here. probably cause i go knowing what i'm getting into.
