The warm ambiance invites you to indulge in a steak dinner or savor a glass of wine. Our waiter, with his warm smile and Aussie accent, made the experience even more enjoyable. He expertly explained the dishes being served and couldn't resist cracking a smile between dinner services. The happy hour menu boasts an incredible selection of crab cakes, muscles, or a simple Caesar salad. But let's not forget their signature martinis, which are simply fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be returning.

Where things really took a turn was the food. I was so hoping I found a new staple in our walkable restaurants list but the food was mostly disappointing. We liked our fairly standard French onion soup and Caesar salad. The shrimp cocktail were not good at all. Shrimp was tough and mealy. They marinate them with a bunch of herbs. Maybe that caused the unpleasant texture? On top of that, I did not like the herbs used in the marinade. Good shrimp cocktail stands on its own! I should also add that these were $7/each. A week later I had the most amazing shrimp cocktail - tender and sweet and almost double the size for $4/each. I don't mind paying $7. I've paid $13 each for good shrimp cocktail. Just a lot of money to spend on something so disappointing. Our sea bass was also tough. Flavor was okay. The piece was fairly thin - possibly why it was overcooked? For those who love sea bass, I suggest checking it out at SumoMaya or Dominick's. Can't be beat! Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. Too many other excellent options nearby.

I have gone to Draft Kings many times since it opened and they are awesome. They are wise to NOT turn down business. Draft Kings is a great sports bar. I've gone there many times at all kind of hours without a problem getting seated anywhere inside outside. They will find you a seat to watch games. Draft Kings is the best. Great staff, too. Thank you Draft Kings.

Absolutely dreadful experience from start to finish…read more We came specifically to watch the England vs Panama World Cup match, yet somehow not a single member of staff seemed to understand that football supporters actually want to hear the commentary. We politely asked if the sound could be turned on, only to be met with blank stares and a shrug. The hostess simply replied, "I don't know about that," without making the slightest effort to find out. For a venue that markets itself as a sports bar, that is utterly embarrassing. The welcome was just as poor. There was no hostess at the entrance, so we asked the hostess in the betting area, who rather dismissively told us, "I can't help you. The hostess will deal with you." Charming. When the hostess eventually appeared, there wasn't even a "hello" or "welcome." She simply walked off expecting us to follow her. Once seated, things somehow became even worse. Despite there being plenty of staff standing around, it took an age before anyone acknowledged our table. After taking our initial drinks order, our waitress vanished for extended periods. We repeatedly wanted to order food and additional drinks but simply couldn't find her. We even asked staff behind the bar and other employees if someone could help us, only to be met with complete indifference. Nobody appeared remotely interested in providing service. The televisions themselves were another disappointment, with several screens glitching and making the match difficult to watch. Again, nobody seemed particularly bothered. As for the food... painfully average. Bland, uninspired and completely forgettable. Certainly nowhere near good enough to justify returning. There are countless places in Scottsdale serving far better food with staff who actually care. The entire operation felt disorganised, poorly managed and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. With service this bad, mediocre food and staff who seem uninterested in customers, it's difficult to see how this place survives in the long term. A sports bar that doesn't understand sport, service or hospitality. One star is generous. We won't be returning, and management should be thoroughly ashamed of the experience they're providing. Don't come here. There are WAY better options in Scottsdale.

Parking was pretty easy and the facility is gourgeous. The patio is massive and its on the East side of the building making it shady and cool in the afternoon heat. The people were all friendly and attentive. Someone is doing a good job picking the staff members. The cocktails are spendy, but they are high quality hooch, solid design, and balanced execution. I had the Rye (Piggyback) smoked old fashioned and it was worth the $18 price tag. The food is elevated pub fare. We had the dry rubbed wings and a stacked burger. The food was executed very well and the ingredients were high quality. We got what we paid for - nothing more - nothing less. My only negative is that the patio chairs were wildly uncomfortable. I would also like to see some more cocktails on the HH menu. All in all, we enjoyed our experience and plan to come back.

I wanted a steak :(…read more So first of all, the three-star review is because my entree. If my entree had been what I wanted it to be, this would be a five-star review. Saturday afternoon, not super busy. The restaurant itself is beautiful, to the point that I wondered if it was part of a big chain. There's obviously a lot of thought put into the building, the menu, and the service model. Great service by Ethan. Group ordered quite a few items, all of which were great. For appetizers, we had AZ egg rolls and grilled artichoke, all of which were enjoyed. I got a manhattan and another member of the group got the mai-tai. Both were very strong and excellent. Entrees were well-received - the french dip, salmon, jambalaya. Lots of compliments from everyone in the group, they all loved their meals and specifically said they were "the best" of any they've had. I ordered the balsamic ribeye. I wanted a steak. But it was sadly not to be. I ordered my ribeye medium rare. The first steak was cooked well done - I had a taste, and it was delicious, but man. I wanted a medium rare steak. So I sent it back. The second steak was practically BLUE. Raw on the inside, yet charred on the outside. Third time's a charm? Not so much. The third steak was also blue inside. I sent it back and had the french dip, which was indeed *excellent.* I had their chilled brussel sprouts & marcona almond salad with it and I loved it. But man, I wanted a steak. Managers presented me with my second and third steaks and were both apologetic for the cooking issues. Ethan was very apologetic, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I mean, my manhattan got a fresh chilled glass midway through the meal, a move I've only seen in truly high-end establishments. The service is there! And the recovery response was great - my meal was comped, as was two desserts ordered. Roughly a quarter of the bill wound up being comped. So the response was appropriate, and a huge part of why I won't write this restaurant off. But it gives me pause that the only item prepared and cooked to order was prepared unsuccessfully three times in a row. Perhaps it was an off day in the kitchen, but ultimately... I wanted a steak. Sadly, I didn't get one.
