I was literally at Devils Martini the day it opened. This place started out as a lounge for people their mid 20's to early 30's with an LA (think Sky Bar) feel. They had no dance floor. It was a lounge designed for classy people based on a Toronto concept. It was wonderful. They had great drinks and food. The staff was friendly, classy and intelligent. Then they sold out and turned the place into a club in 2004/2005, it changed it's approach and tried to compete with Axis Radius, and Mist as a club. They opened that huge room and turned it into a dance floor. The service also became snobby and they hired some yutz who worked at Gucci to be the door man and act prestigous. As the years have progressed, the crowd continues to get younger. Now it's almost exclusively ASU students who are under 25 coming there to get trashed and dance. Someone accidentally spilled part of a drink on my wife and never apologized or said anything in that typical ASU sloppy stoned college mentality. Not suprisingly, the guy wanted to fight me (yawn)... After that moment, I realized what this place had become: CLUB RIO except dress it up and make the ASU students wear long sleeve shirts and leave their baseball hats at home.
If you are like me and want a place in which you know the guys are not going to hold drinks above their heads and stick their other hand in the air, go to Suede, Six, PCL and Dirty Pretty. Unfortunately, the ASU crowd has taken over this place and what class this place once had is completely gone. It's basically a Tempe club transplanted to Old Town.
