Macho Libre

He-men just wanna be free

By Clay McNear

Published on July 24, 2008

Before we get to the macho stuff, we must give a small shout-out to the comfy 1130 The Restaurant, whose recent opening was the best thing that’s happened to Arizona Center since about 1990. Or since the last Miss Hooters contest.

Now, the macho stuff.

While it can’t compete with a bunch of big-boobed blondes in short shorts for sheer testosterone value, 1130’s new weekly promotion Tough Guy Tuesday sounds Heaven-sent for put-upon dudes looking to let down their hair plugs and be free for one night a week. He-man highlights include a Scotch tasting, billiards, imported-cigar puffing, gratis chow, and an on-site golf pro that can help straighten out that swing.
