One of the best-kept secrets in the valley is out. Dave�s Place, a tiny bar with a big following, invites you to �make it your place�.

�I think it�s a home-away-from-home for many people,� says Denise Ross, manager of Dave�s Place. Folks enjoy being able to drop in on a Saturday or a Sunday to enjoy a delicious, leisurely meal. Besides, a home cooked meal just tastes better when you don�t have to cook it yourself, right?

Some folks have frequented Dave�s for just about as long as they can remember. This may be due to the big smiles and great service. Denise boasts at having the best staff in the state. Of course, the staff swears that they�ve got the best boss in the world, so maybe that�s why everybody�s smiling!

It�s remarkable how fiercely loyal the clientele are to Denise, her staff and each other. �This bar may be little, but we take care of each other,� says Gloria �G� Conway, a self-proclaimed staple at Dave�s since 1991.

�G� went on to cite a long list of benefits, events, raffles and collections taken up over the years to help out folks who had fallen into hard times or suffered personal tragedy. �Pockets are deep to help people who need it,� she said.

Denise said that it�s the same way over at her other place, Greenway Village, just a few miles down the road, but that�s another story, so stay tuned�

So, if you�re looking for a close-knit family who enjoys hanging out together for a good time, Dave�s is the place. Drop in any time; if you�re hungry, make it a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, when Dave�s offers complimentary lunch.

While you�re there, enjoy some sports on the Big Screen TV, play Foosball or video games, shoot a little pool or throw a few darts. Right now, they�ve got the Sunday NFL Ticket thing going on. Dave�s also has pool and dart leagues if you�re a more serious player.

Dave�s Place is located at 2710 W Bell Road, phone (602) 866-9898. Greenway Village is located at 3143 E Greenway Parkway, phone (602) 971-5523.
