The Duce is a special place, indeed.  My friend took me here when I visited from Austin and we had a blast!  The place is big enough to just kick back and relax with good conversation but there is so much more to this place.  For one, the games.  They have a whole range of retro games that anyone can play like foosball, hula hoops, sandbag/bean toss, ping pong (where were the balls?), etc.  There is a bunch of old school exercise equipment with which you can mess around as well.\n\nThey have a dance area with great music pumping out of a solid sound system.  They also sell shirts and stuff.  \n\nThe drinks are phenomenal.  They make everything from scratch - including freshly squeezed fruit.  We got a Greyhound.  It had a double shot of vodka and freshly squeezed grapefruit.  It was one of the best ever.  We also got an adult milkshake.  Same thing - one of the best ever.  Most of their drinks are stiff ones (though you wouldn't know it) so be ready!  Their beer selection is composed of almost all old-school beers like Old Style so this is not the place is you are all about craft beer.\n\nWe got the mac n' cheese muffins to nibble on.  They were worth checking out.  I wouldn't go crazy over them myself but that is just my preference.  I can see their allure.  They have a bunch of sliders that looked interesting.  I will have to have them next time around.\n\nAll in all, this is a place to go if you want to have fun.  If you want a place to sit and quietly sip cocktails then don't come here.  But if you want to get a little goofy, drink some amazing cocktails, have some interesting food, and just enjoy spending time with your friends and making new ones then this is the place.  Truly a gem in the Phoenix scene, or any scene for that matter.
