As the saying goes, "it's not what you know - it's who you know." This adage could not be more true at Smashboxx ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
Although I am still somewhat of an Old Town novice, Smashboxx is easily the best club experience I've had in Phoenix (Madrid/Barcelona/Ibiza will forever have my heart - sorry guys). The highlight is most certainly the music selection; they play a great mix of electronic-dance music, which is always a plus in my book. The dance floor is pretty crowded, but not unbearable ... in fact, the V.I.P. section is far more of a zoo than the rest of the club.
Now, as for my three star rating... I am never one to complain about high drink prices, but my $30 bill for two drinks was downright absurd. The bartender failed to mention that they don't have any tall glasses, and thus my double vodka tonic was "substituted" with two regular-sized drinks. I am still having a difficult time seeing the logic in that serving decision, but the free round of shots helped ease the pain.
Anyway, Smashboxx is pretty much a guaranteed good time for those who love to dance, indulge, and avoid awkward small talk. ¡Me recomiendo!
