This dark moody bar has more character in a square inch than FIVE Scottsdale bars have altogether. Quite simply stated -- they just don't make bars like this anymore. Chez Nous oozes bar noir cool - with the patterned neo-gothic wallpaper, 70s light fixtures, plush leather booths, and a weathered old-school sensibility. I don't know why I haven't reviewed this yet either - having been several times.
A small group of us bid farewell this past weekend to the 7th Ave/Indian School charmer of a bar that was Chez Nous.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but in my several trips here I've found this to be the most ethnically diverse crowd one can find at an Arizona bar -- all mingling, drinking stiff drinks and dancing to 70s funk and soul in harmony (cue cheesy sappy music here).
I hope the character of this bar and mix of regulars stays intact - something I worry about since it's moving to the gentrifying Roosevelt arts district in August.
