My first experience was awesome. I'm kind of an introvert by nature. I'm shy and I don't mind eating by myself or going to new places by myself. I really have to force myself to talk to strangers. It's like a test to force myself out of my own shell.
Point is, of all the places I've been in Scottsdale, only 20% is cool. By cool, I mean real ppl who just want to have fun. Not ppl who want to be somebody they're not. Scottsdale is full of pretentious, "I can't afford to hang out here" wannabes.
But Tavern Grill is not that. Most of the time I am not all made up, meaning I don't wear makeup and don't dress up. Anyway that didn't bother them. I walked in wearing a baseball cap and regular clothes and the girl was happy to see me. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a friendly bartender. She gave a me a menu and took my drink order. Another bartender took my food order. She asked questions on how I wanted my food prepared, making sure I would eat happy.
I was really impressed by the staff here. I mean, they actually did their jobs. The bar had lots of tvs and great daily and happy hour specials. They had original sauces for their wings. Yum. I'm definitely coming back.
