| - Being the only gay bar in Scottsdale aside from BS West, I've found myself at Forbidden a few times. Forbidden is an ambitious concept--a gay club with two rooms and two deejays in a city not known for its gay nightlife. Sadly Forbidden does not deliver.
The club is usually pretty busy on a Saturday night, but the crowd leaves a bit to be desired. The patrons are mostly unattractive, kind of trashy in fact, and not very friendly.
I believe deejay in the main room does not change on the weekends, where he spins top 40 dance/pop to a drunk college-aged crowd. In the OZ room (the smaller room) they have different local deejays, who, from what I've seen, spin a variety of different types of music--sometimes it's circuity music, sometimes it's eighties music, it all depends on the deejay for that night. The OZ room has been pretty empty the few times I've been there. The sound system in both rooms leaves quite a bit to be desired from a place that calls itself a club.
The drinks are reasonably priced for a bar in Scottsdale. The décor is okay, but not very interesting. Forbidden isn't terrible. It is, however, just plain boring (bad music on a bad sound system, uninteresting décor, and an unimpressive and unfriendly crowd)!
