| - Twin Peaks and Scottsdale were made for each other. After taking a much needed day off with a buddy, we decided to take in Happy Hour at Twin Peaks. I should have known better after being at The Yardhouse DR several months earlier, and seeing the opening team come in for a meeting before they opened. They all looked miserable, and the look of utter contempt on the blonde girl's face is something I'll remember forever.
I digress....
I was dressed in board shorts, t-shirt, and Rainbows. That's how I walked in. I saw a visible sneer on the hostess's face as she looked over my very comfortable, and very functional attire. Forgive me, girly, but before you condescend to my attire consider that I have worked 7 days a week for a year straight, and decided to take a day off at the pool. You're a hostess, not the fashion police.
That sort of set the tone for the place. We got seated, and it just sort of felt like being in a strip club. Most of the servers look like they hate their lives, and aren't having fun, the manager looks like a sleazebag, and the girls are just there to get tips. The girls' make-up looks like spackle applied with a knockdown knife. And they use fake names. Our server was flat (personality wise, anyways), dry, boring, and pretentious. Honestly, while I love to mess with pretentious snotty servers, I had been at the pool all day, was quite sunburned, and just wanted some cold beers, a little food, and a friendly server.
When I asked what beers they had on tap, she acted like I asked her the formula for the circumference of a circle. I had to get up to go look at the beer selection. And... It's not printed on a menu anywhere. Happy Hour menu is $1 off the beer. Yep. That's it.
So we ordered the BBQ nachos. And two beers. I like cold beer, but when it turns into a beer slushy, I'm not so hip on cold beer. She said the nachos were one of the best things on the menu. REALLY? Ummmmmm. Ok.
This place is a bust. See what I did there? Great big boobies. Great big attitudes. And very little substance. If you're 22, and think you can go hit on a server and score, this is the place to test your game. If you score, you GOTTA post it. I'll bow down at your Alter of Game. If you like good food, good service, and a quality Happy Hour, I can recommend about 5 other places for you. Tilted Kilt is better than this place by a large measure. Four Peaks, a local brewery, would be another solid pick.
