I love this bar. I love this bar. I love this bar.
Honestly, I shouldn't tell you why I love this bar. I don't want you there. I would be happy cozying up to the bar and sitting all by myself. That's exactly what I did Thursday night... until Eric R showed up. And, to be completely blunt, it went really well for me.
The bartender was a beautiful and sweet brunette whose name I'm sure I forgot the moment she told me. I am usually really good about remembering names, but I was taking in all the beauty of this establishment. It is really so much nicer than most of the other bars in Scottsdale. Heck, it is nicer than most of the other bars in Arizona.
The chandeliers provide just the right amount of mood lighting to the otherwise dimly lit bar.
The happy hour is pretty phenomenal. I had a salad, pretzels and two glasses of wine. Eric R had the salad, some chicken lollipops and a couple Goulets. The tab was less than $50 after tip. Pretty nifty.
We asked if the Goulets were named after Robert Goulet, but the bartender told us they were after the Will Farrell SNL skit that MOCKED Robert Goulet. Priceless.
I will MOST DEFINITELY be back to Mabels on Main again. In fact, I am already planning a little get-together there in my head; your invitation is on its way, I promise. :)
