| - I don't know what it is about clubs/bars... but they are so incredibly inept about getting bottle service!
So here's the scoop... I reserved a table a week and a half out for the girlfriend's birthday. First question, what package do you want? Got it. Second question, what time would you like to arrive? How about 9?
NOPE. Sorry, we don't start service until 10. OK, fine, 10pm then.
I get there at 9pm and say that I'm there and that I'll come back at 10pm to start service as agreed upon. I come back at 10pm and they use their walkies to say get table ready and to wait by front for host. No host... no host... no table... 30 minutes go by (I'm just conversing with my party keeping them occupied at front). I ask again, are they coming? Oh, yeah, call again... no host, no host... no table. Another 30 minutes roll by. So now it is 11:00pm. Finally I get pissed and ask where my damn table is at.
Oh, OK, here it is. I get seated at 11:30pm. Awesome, now I have 2 hours and 30 minutes to drink a 30 pack and a bottle instead of 5 hours as I wanted (9pm). Half my party has already drank on their own tab and doesn't want to drink the bottle service.
Awesome. Another little nugget of joy is that when I am patiently waiting I see that there is actually indeed bottle service at some of the tables. So why tell me 9 is not available?
Also, some bottle of champagne got added to the service despite nobody drinking the table items that were already there. Not sure if someone ordered it without me or if DB thought it'd be a nice gesture to give it to me and charge me anyways? (If DB just lets anyone in the party put a bottle of champagne on MY tab, that is interesting too).
The only two things that were positive were that while we were waiting over an hour for the table, they came and gave my entire party a free shot. Secondly, everyone enjoyed their time there. Despite these fun items the facts still remain... I got seated way late... I didn't get the package I ordered a week prior... and worst of all instead of the party enjoying a table on my dollar they had to buy their own drinks most of the night.
Bottom line is that bottle service is a premium service. And to me being seated hours after me desired time and over an hour after the agreed time is just unacceptable. Dierk's is a good party place... but I felt like I was just a cash-cow patron. So long as they got me my table SOMETIME during the night, they could charge me the full package price. I get the feeling that unless you are buddy-buddy with the owners/servers/bouncers and come every week and get bottle service that you are going to get yanked around. This is generally my experience in Scottsdale and now here at Dierks.
One last note is that if you're looking for a country bar - this isn't it. I'm not sure I heard much country at all.
