I have to bump my rating down a star. Yes, as you can tell by my previous review they have a pretty good happy hour. Decently priced drinks and yummy nibbles. During the happy hour the crowd isn't too bad either.
But holy hell, I would give this place 2 stars based on their late Saturday night. Wow, what a hot mess.
First of all, long wait to get in. But if you are a disgusting middle aged man driving a BMW with a head to toe surgically enhanced Barbie doll on your arm... well you get right in.
Once you are in you are stuck in a sardine can full of half of the geriatric population of Scottsdale. It is almost impossible to move. Several times I got groped by a 50 something with hair plugs celebrating his 4th divorce. There are bouncers on every corner yelling at people to keep walking and not block the walkways.
Bartenders were nice enough, but the quality of the drinks were inconsistent. My dirty martini was not nearly as good as last time and they lacked those lovely blue cheese olives I enjoyed so much. My husband's mojito was pretty good but I ordered a gin concoction that was so heavy on the gin I could barely finish it. I do love strong drinks but I like to be able to taste the other ingredients.
The worst part about the drinks was the price. $13 a pop! Yikes.
The crowd. Oh the crowd. The good news is I now know there is life after the age of 50. I just have a hard time picturing my sweet little mom in a place like this. When some of the 80's songs started so did the gyrating. I heard Viagra bottles popping everywhere...
Yes we will be back for happy hour. But on a weekend night? Never again. Never ever.
