Eli's has nice sitting areas for socializing. The beer selection is limited, which surprised me considering it was in Scottsdale. Oh well!
I appreciate that Eli's has a live band but unfortunately they were mediocre. From what I understand the Aaron Nelson Project band plays there almost every day so don't expect much if you come for live music. At least they can keep a dance beat going but.........
The dance area is so small it's mostly an afterthought. Even worse it's a tile floor so dancing is limited to stationary wiggling and hip grinding. Of course from what I saw nobody there knows how to dance so perhaps most patrons don't care what the floor is made of or how lousy the music is. If the reason for going to Eli's is for hookups it's probably a good place to go.
Eli's web page trumps the bar as a place to dance. Was that meant to be a joke?
There are some beautiful cougars that hang out there. Unfortunately I came with a female friend so I couldn't play the field. If I ever come back it will be to go cougar hunting!
