I have no idea why this place is called "Pranksters", but the joke was definitely on me. After being whisked here by an older crowd, I opened the door and thought I was at the wrong place. This could have been an AARP meeting! The vast majority of customers appeared to be senior citizens.
But it wasn't uncomfortable at all. I played some pool and had some appetizers. Hot wings were decent, but the mozzarella sticks were questionably soft, probably so their regulars could gum them. The waitress was good, and managed to keep making her rounds even though the place was packed.
We jammed out to some covers of 60's music. I was then informed that I had seen only half the bar...
...the other half looks like a completely different place. You can't really hear the live music, the crowd is much younger, and it looks more like a sports bar than a music venue. Why the larger side wasn't used for the venue is a mystery, but I guess having two bars in one makes for interesting times. Just not interesting enough for me to go out of the way. If you get stuck in Scottsdale, do check it out though. It was cheap!
