I was not very excited about this place. The bartenders seemed to be very quick and the drinks were very good (well poured). The crowd was rather meh...I am not sure if it is because this place is new in Scottsdale but everybody was trying to be very cool in their own corners, not much intermingling going on. And yes it was full of Scottsdale's finest botoxed, boob-jobbed, mini-dressed cougars, as well as the 'cool' old men and of course the 50,000-dollar-millionaires strutting their stuff. And the dress code is no worse than your typical Scottsdale nightclub; their website extremely overstates their expectations from what I saw.
My biggest complaint was that the dance floor and I love to dance! What became the dance area was right in the middle of the main walking area towards the bathroom. The DJ booth is cool but, there isn't exactly an established dance floor so it is right in the middle between some tables and in the walkway; poor planning if you ask me. The decor is alright; it was supposedly a bank before (hence the name The Mint)...It is almost over decorated if there is such a thing. But, I did really like some of the unique art on the walls! We came here early in the evening on a Saturday with a group of gals, so the line was not too bad, but when we left the place was a madhouse outside and there was no apparent exit route.
I doubt I will be back here; this is not exactly my scene. Maybe after the hype of this place simmers a bit, it may be more fun.
