Riot House is the latest creation from the people who own Whiskey Row and El Hefe, two other popular bars located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale bar district.
Is it an ok bar? Sure. Then, why only two stars, you may ask? Because Riot House adds nothing new to the nightlife district. It is nearly identical to the other two bars in layout, food choices, music and overall feel. The only real difference is in the back wallpaper has a giant palm leaf print and a few fake hanging plants scattered around. Riot House is like those cookie cutter, generic houses in suburbia. Basically everything looks the same except the paint colors and the layout is flipped.
The biggest, hottest bar district in the state of Arizona needs to keep creatively changing to stay on top. Sadly, the newest bar is just more of the same.
