Great time & good food!…read more Although we had a lot of fun with live music and the food was really good the drinks were AWFUL. If you get anything other than a beer or a shot you won't even taste any alcohol. We actually sent a Gin & Tonic back and our waitress said "This is the third drink I've had to return" and she said she didn't want to return it because the person making the drinks was getting mad. Pretty sad when even the servers know how bad the drinks are. That said, we'll go back to enjoy the food and music but we're only getting shots or beer since it's pretty tough for even that bartender to mess up. Live and learn All in all we had fun and will try it again.

It's always a fun atmosphere. They offer a good selection of beer, wine, and American cuisine (pizza, wings, salad, burgers). I also like that there is usually no cover charge since it's a restaurant/pub, though there are occasional cover charges for special events like New Year's Eve. The staff is very nice and attentive. Parking can be a challenge, as it's located in the CityScape development and the restaurant validates parking for up to two hours only.

The staff were really good considering how busy it was and if you look at the photos, it was super busy. The wait for a drink at the bar was long but not super long where we were annoyed considering how busy it was. It was this super fine guy in a hoodie that took our drink orders. There was an issue with that because we had bought tickets that was suppose to come with a free drink and he had no idea about it but he did get us straight. The place was beautiful inside. From the bar to the seats, the VIP, the bathrooms, and the dance floor, it was definitely a beautiful venue. I told my friend I want to come back another time when it's not busy like tonight . So I will be returning to see what a regular night is like.

The STAFF HERE IS JUDGMENTAL AS FUCK. I just lost a ton of weight over the last year and am very tall, I came in here super cute with my followers. I was trying to have fun while being RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THOSE AROUND ME. I did NOT receive the same treatment at all. They couldn't take ANY of my cards like chime debit or PayPal, also don't have any electronic type pay at all. FYI Kindness is free maybe don't BE the HATE WE ALL see in the world. WE ARE A RAINBOW COMMUNITY FOR A REASON. All I was trying to do was find a SAFE PLACE to chill and you FUCKED THAT UP WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT (and eye rolls). That's on you, especially when I tried to have conversations and treat you with love and kindness but all I got was NEGATIVITY. That doesn't EVER create a conducive environment for LGBTQ+ humans. So CHANGE. BECOME BETTER. Our community deserves it.

The venue felt significantly oversold, to the point where it was nearly impossible to move comfortably. From where I was standing, I couldn't see the stage at all, which made it hard to enjoy the performance I came to see. Beyond just being crowded, it felt unsafe. The number of people packed into the space seemed excessive, and I genuinely question whether it exceeded fire code limits. People were standing all the way back into the bar area. Navigating through the crowd was difficult, and there didn't appear to be enough room for people to exit easily if needed. I've been to this venue since its 2017 opening and had much better experiences, but this event felt poorly managed. I hope they take crowd capacity and guest safety more seriously in the future.

It's not the burner/rave/PLUR culture that I love but definitely not douchy like some Scottsdale clubs. Something in between, artsy and funky- It's a unique and cool place. There's an outdoor patio out front with a bar area, apparently there's a downstairs area that I didn't see, not sure if it was open for that night, and then there's a main bar and dance floor area with some seating & tables around the outside of the room. The decor is dubbed as futuristic, I'm not sure it's really that specifically, but it's cool with the big mirrored spheres on the ceiling and walls inside and large LED screen behind the DJ booth. It was a really fun show, we went for DJs Love Language and I also liked Supertaste who came on afterwards. I had a blast dancing to their sets. I will just take off a star due to my experience of some of the other party people there were a bit rude, and that affects the overall vibe. The drinks were fine, nothing special, not outrageously expensive. I have no idea if they have food, we went to dance. I do love that there's a parking garage behind the club and there was plenty of street parking when we arrived at like 1030pm. It's a solid spot to dance. I still have my favorite places in the valley, but I'm sure I'll be back here sometimes too.
