The bartenders were both super friendly and everyone was very supportive of the open mic acts. I didn't end up trying the food, but everything I saw looked great. The ambiance is a mix between Buffalo Chip and Scottsdale, leaning more heavily toward the upscale vibes of Scottsdale. There is a parking lot with a good amount of parking. I was surprised by how small the restaraunt is size-wise, but it didn't feel crammed once you got inside. I could see this being a good place to come with friends or on a date night for a drink.

It's mostly standing room only with a few bleacher type seating options. I'm getting old, so standing the entire time has me thinking Celebrity Theater is the better venue for me.

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).

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 crust was pretty thin and I hear that you make their dough in house and I thought the dough tasted great. The toppings on top tasted good didn't taste like canned stuff My beer was a bit warm though, and they serve them in those reusable plastic cups. They are all like scratched up and stuff. I usually have sensitive skin so I react on like these bacterial cups a lot which I did a bit on my lips. I plan to come here more times in the future really great time just simple standard bar food. I would say don't expect the best food you're here for the organ player not the food so they aren't focused on making top notch food you know and what I really like. Is that there there's no tipping here like no option to do so on the machines and in the world we literally everything makes you tip. It feels nice to have a break from that. But definitely tip your organ player they have a big jar in front

Tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem the moment you find it. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

Their mocktails are creative and refreshing, and we loved pairing them with a few appetizers while sipping on seltzer waters. It's such a refreshing alternative for anyone looking to socialize in a fun, inclusive environment. Highly recommend checking it out--especially on a night with live music. We'll definitely be back.

I partook of this in Orlando a while ago and decided to bring the kiddo out to experience it…read more Our server was really enthusiastic and didn't pester folks for tips. Perhaps management has talked to them about this. We were so much happier to give a gratuity under these circumstances. But if I were in charge I'd just raise the price and say no tipping expected. How cool would that be for a change? Beverages are lemonad, Pepsi, Pepsi zero, ice tea (I think) and water. They come one more time to refill before desert. And then offer coffee after desert. I don't think arriving early got us a better section, because we were still at probably the worst seats in the house. But that's relatively speaking because I don't think there's any really bad seats. If you tell them why you came the King and Queen will announce your name and the special occasion. Even if it's just "for a fun night out" that counts! They probably read everyone's name in the auditorium if seemed. Before the show you can walk around and shop. Full armor purchase will set you back $4,000-$6,000. I know you want to take that home. They also got light up swords etc. lots of folks buying stuff. We got a shirt The food was surprisingly decent. First course is garlic bread and tomato bisque soup. Second course is roast chicken. Third course is corn on cob and potatoes. And fourth course is desert (partially frozen mini eclair). My only complaint is that there were a few Karens in the crowd. Usually renaissance and medieval events attract only chill folks. But well we had a few women in the crowd who just seemed hell bent to make sure everyone had as miserable a time as they were having. They thought my kid was cheering too loudly and wanted her to tone it down a notch or two, as it was hurting their precious ears. These are folks across the stairs and a row down from us. Seriously? Just kinda ruined the night for my kid to be honest.

I was SO wrong and so happily surprised. The place was absolutely bumping. There was a show that night, and Celine Fatale was the first DJ to come out and she completely set the tone for the entire night. From the start, the energy was perfect and just kept building. I honestly have not had that much fun dancing on a random night out in a long time. The bartenders were so sweet, the bouncers were fun and welcoming, and the whole staff contributed to such a positive, safe vibe. But Celine really made it special. Her remixes were so good, and she was incredibly engaging with the crowd. She was dancing with us, feeding off the energy, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does. At one point, some people in the crowd had this random toy they were obsessed with, and she actually grabbed it and started dancing with it. It was such a funny, spontaneous moment that made the night feel even more connected. I would absolutely go back again, especially if Celine Fatale is DJing. It turned into one of the most unexpectedly fun Valentines nights ever.

However, I was disappointed by a few things. The flyer listed the event from 3-10 PM, but it seemed to end much earlier, which felt a bit misleading. The biggest letdown was when I requested Erasure -- a staple of 80s/90s dance music -- and the DJ said he didn't know who they were. If you're branding an event around those decades, knowing iconic artists from that era is essential. And if not, at least look them up. That's part of creating an authentic experience. For $35 plus fees and $30 for parking, I expected more attention to detail. As someone with a marketing background, I'd suggest adding a feature during ticket purchase where attendees can submit their favorite artists from the event's theme years. DJs could then incorporate the most requested songs into the playlist. That kind of engagement would elevate the experience and keep people coming back. The idea is strong -- it just needs a little more execution.
