| - I almost gave this place three stars based on the DJ playing pretty good tunes, but the fact that I will never go back based on my experience, the two star wins out. Because really, meh. I have experienced better. Much better.
My first experience was with a big group of girls for a friend's bachelorette party. We had gotten on the guest list, and were comped a round of drinks. We had a pretty good time despite how packed it was. Surely not my scene, but perfectly appropriate for a bachelorette party. It did not compel me to return, as I can pay significantly less than $12 for a vodka redbull elsewhere, minus the Jersey Shore cast lookalikes and with much less crowding. In hindsight, I think we would have had a good time no matter where we went, given the excitement of the group.
Flash forward to my little sister's 21st birthday party. This seemed like the perfect choice. I got in touch with the promoter and got on the guest list for power hour (midnight on her 21st birthday). When we arrived at midnight as arranged, the bouncer informed us that not only did the guest list close at 11:30, we weren't on in in the first place. I explained, and he let us in mostly because it was my sister's birthday, but half of our group was still trying to find parking. When they arrived, they weren't let in, even though we explained they were part of our party. Only having two hours for my sister to enjoy her evening, this cut into it significantly. Frustrated with our experience, we decided to pack up and head elsewhere.
One of the owners overheard us as we were about to walk out, and took us all back inside together. I was/am very grateful for that, but I am still bothered that it even came to that when I had prearranged our arrival days earlier. It took about half of our night dealing with that before we could really relax and enjoy ourselves, leaving us with an hour before closing time.
Combine that with surly servers, who look constantly annoyed- one of which literally SHOVED my boyfriend in a less crowded area away from the dance floor as she made her way back to the bar. I've worked as a cocktail waitress in a nightclub myself, so I get having to be assertive and move people out of the way when you need to, but this was a) excessive and b) unnecessary given how not crowded it was where we were standing. I'm sorry but there's plenty of places in Scottsdale that I could be overpaying for drinks, I don't need snobby servers mistreating me or my crowd just because we're not paying $300 for a $24 bottle of Grey Goose and a table.
