The Switchback - Flagstaff

This place is a pleasant alternative to the many packed bars around the city. You have a beautiful Happy Hour Special and many good beers on tap. They often turn around to see what's new. Moreover, it is nice that it is located within fo Whole Foods so that you can meet after a drink on grocery shopping. They only serve beer and wine and have a decent menu.

Cauliflower Nachos are the best! Excellent selection of craft beers including AZ breweries. Best kept secret in Flagstaff.

Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's lame. The salad bar on a Saturday had all the dressings gone and lettuce. When I ask the counter person for some dressing they said the person that deals with it is at lunch. Saturday at a Whole Foods at noon having lunch seems like bad management.

No doubt, the food and drink selection is great. Food times are definitely ehhhhh. Of the four times I've gone, three times the servers have apologized how long it took the food out. Servers do the best they can. But, if you're not in any sort of rush, it's worth the time.

Really like the idea, always a great beer/wine/mead selection, good food options. However, I've been here at least 10 times since opening, and I would not say that any one of these times, they were adequately staffed. Bartenders try to keep up, but it seems that they are set-up for failure. Review could easily be 4, maybe 5 stars, but staffing-issue is enough to significantly decrease my experience there every time.
