| - words can not describe the epic douchefactor that axis/radius possesses. so why did i come here? two friends of mine were in from LA and they wanted to hit up Scottsdale and see what it was like. i have lived here for a year... A YEAR, PEOPLE!... and had yet to go to Scottsdale to experienced the ultimate in popped collars and sick belt buckles. so, i agreed to to take them out for an unforgettable night on the town.
walking up to this place, we immediately noticed the long ass line full of extremely cold OSU/Auburn people attempting to get in. apparently this place charges a $10 cover but after a brief chat with the lovely bouncer, he let us through the other side for free. $10 cover in Phoenix? c'mon. the place is kind of interesting when you first walk in. you're faced with a choice: gravitate towards the rhythmic thumping of the techno on the Radius side OR shake what your mamma gave you to some hip hop on the Axis side. we explored Axis first. the people watching was AWESOME. drunk frat boys trying to score with equally if not drunker girls dressed in super shorts skirts, 8 inch heels, and no jackets because wearing a jacket when its 42 degrees outside is so lame. i also dug the older gentlemen who were stalking the younger ladies. they were pretty damn entertaining. i do have to say that the bartenders really were on point. they were fast, friendly, and knew their shit. i was grateful since drinking was pretty much required to get through the night.
the Radius side really didnt fair any better. actually, it was more sausage festy than Axis. lots of guys standing around with their Monsters + Vodka watching the spare population of girls dance. it looked like a grade school dance with boys on side and girls on the other, neither side willing to touch each other. Radius was definitely a lost cause.
i think i would have been super pissed if i had had to pay cover to get into this place, but seeing as it was free and the bartenders and people watching were entertaining, i guess it deserves 2 stars. i do reserve the right to bitch slap some sense into anyone who wants to go here though.
