Yes, I am the duke of BS west (at the time of writing).
No, I do not currently live in Scottsdale (or Arizona for that matter).
Yes, I think this place is a solid 4-stars!
Let me explain what's amazing about this place in reference to the bars in San Francisco:
1. 2 for 1 drinks Wednesday and Saturdays ALL NIGHT. Yea, shut the loose hole! This is an amazing deal! Our happy hour specials are 2-4-1 until 8 or 9, if we're lucky!
2. You know all the boys will either be here or only 2 other places on any given night. I actually think it sucks wet pussy to have to navigate 10-20 bars just to find fresh meat. (not that I ever do... but it's the principle of the thing).
3. Service is actually amazing! Drinks come to you! The bar tenders make 'em strong (especially the gal towards the smoking patio).
4. 2 smoking patios?! NOICE. Many bars in SF require you to go outside!.. it just becomes a pain.
5. They accept card. In the event you didn't know this, many places in SF don't....
You may be a local and hate this place for what it is, but for someone who spends extended amount of time in the area every so often, I find it a great place to be near fagily (fag family).
