3) Are very limited in food options. Only cold food and sandwiches when we've tried them.
4) No hard liquor.
We go to so many sporting events at ASU and have always wanted this place to be an option on our circuit, but it's just not equipped to compete with sports bars.
Btw, right across the street from The University's empty occupancy in question is the College Bar and Grill, which does a killer business even when there aren't Sun Devil football games in play. That whole street has really picked up since Snooze and Postino have opened on College Ave.

Postinos does boffo business around any sporting event. This will only get busier when the Mill construction is completed, and the 365 Stadium plan matures. Empty storefronts are a missed opportunity.
