Gone are the peanut/candy machines and the ledges that held the HX magazines and postcards for gay-related events and such.

New tables include two milk jugs with a board on top (?) and an old-fashioned sewing machine (?).

They painted the front of the bar a sky blue and plastered the walls with all of the clichéd and junky signs the Catskills has to offer. They took out the Galaga arcade machine and the jukebox - genius move taking control of the music away from the patrons. I went to the Phoenix Friday night for the first time since their new makeover and though the changes aren’t dramatic, it feels like the cast of 'Trading Spaces' has been hard at work.
