| - I was at Myst Nightclub in Scottsdale last night to see ATB. ATB was awesome, but this review is not about ATB - it's about Myst.
My friend and I got tickets online for the show, and when we showed up at the door at around 10pm we waited in line to get in. The doorman let people in just a couple at a time, very slowly. And when it was finally just us inline, he made us wait several more minutes. He was about to let us in when he saw us holding our tickets, and then directed us to another entrance.
After we were inside the club, we were surprised to see virtually nobody in there. Why were we made to wait at the door? Are clubs really still trying this cheesy trick to make the club seem busier and more exclusive?
Once inside, we ordered vodka/redbulls. The flyer for the event said that they were $4 all night; we were charged $10 each. The bartender denied the special existed. So we looked on some of the tables, saw the flyers scattered around everywhere - and realized that the flyer said "$4 redbull vodkas all night in Ballroom." Ah, so we were mistaken and needed to go into the ballroom and order our drinks.
For our next round, we went in the ballroom and ordered a new round of redbull/vodkas; we were charged $10 each again. The bartender told us the flyer was a misprint. We grabbed one of the flyers from a nearby table and expressed surprise that it could be a misprint and asked to talk to his manager. He actually had the nerve to grab the flyer from us and attempt to hide it and ignore our request for a manager. We didn't order any more drinks that night.
Honestly, I'm surprised that such a well known club in Scottsdale would display such amateurish and ethically suspect behavior.
