This is my favorite spot in Old Town! I go here every single time I go out and it never fails. It is VERY packed after 10 so be aware that you might want to go here first on your night of bar hopping. The music is always on point and the drinks are always strong.
I never have a problem getting in, mainly because my boyfriend knows all of the bouncers and the GM. We always walk right in! However, this past weekend that all changed. It was the Saturday of the Phoenix Open (huge golf tournament) and my boyfriends 30th birthday, two HUGE events for us. I can understand that most bar/clubs in Scottsdale try and maintain a guy/girl ratio and with the open in town there were about 15 guys to every 1 girl.... Long story short, we actually got TURNED AWAY because we had 1 too many guys in our group... let me tell you how the door guy was very apologetic explaining this ratio, which I understand but when you let in a group of ugly, over weight, fat chicks (yes, that is shallow but this is Scottsdale) instead of someone who has spent tons of money (and were about to do it again) at your bar is terrible. We went to El Hefe and walked straight in, no issues there.
I will forever look at HiFi differently after that. Used to be a 5 star bar, now a 3...
