Wednesdays - their busiest night. I'm not a big fan of this place as the crowd is pretty young and obnoxious -- drawing in my least favorite crowds: gay ASU guys and the Scottsdale/East Valley gays.\n\nWeekends are a bit more subdued, and might be a better time to check BS out, and on Thursdays and Sunday they do some karaoke. Gays and karaoke? Who would have thought.\n\nIt can be a very fun time if you go with your friends. There's a nice loungey room upstairs with couches and a pool table (which I'm sure is fun on other days when it's not so crowded). The music is dance/top 40 with accompanying MTV videos on the big screens. It gets very busy, and with the north patio doors flung open, it can get downright STEAMY (and not in a good way) in there.\n\nSince the renovation about a year ago they enlarged the dance floor, the unisex bathrooms are larger and much nicer and they added a south patio. But it's still packed as ever as this is the only gay bar in Scottsdale, the closest gay bar to ASU and the closest one to Mesa.\n\nSecond to Amsterdam I would consider this the most straight-friendly gay bar (aren't they all?) with several straight girls in the house each week."^^ .
