Visited the Forum Lounge for the first time with my husband and sister in law, last night…read more We went in for dinner & to watch Jeff Burkett perform live. We made a reservation through Open Table. There is no additional cost to reserve a table, which is great since most other similar spots either had a cover fee or you had to buy tickets for the live performance. Upon arrival, our table was ready right when we showed up. The service was excellent throughout the night considering how busy it was in there. Our waitress was so patient, especially considering how long we took to make a decision on what we were going to order. The lighting was very nice, the music was great. We spent about 3 hours here enjoying the atmosphere. The food was very good, and prices were low! The drinks (which we did not partake in) were pricey, but seemed to have a great selection. There was a full bar & a handful of "signature" drinks to choose from. We ended up keeping it simple & getting the Wagyu Burger & Fries. I upgraded to onion rings. It took a little while to get our food, but we were in no rush. The burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted them, and tasted fresh. The onion rings and fries were delicious. The lounge also has another restaurant called "Vybe" attached, with similar food offerings, and a DJ instead of a live band. It's a bit quieter in that area. They also have karaoke suites for rent, which is a really cool option for people who are having a party. A waitress was kind enough to give us a tour of all these areas within the restaurant, and give us all the details about what packages are offered. All in all, we had such a nice night out and will definitely be back in the future.

I truly thought I had tasted the best orange scone in my life until this one blew that one out of the water. The texture is so moist yet dense. It doesn't fall apart and the icing to pastry ratio is perfect. Two, the attention to detail in customer comfort/ way to market some product y'all. *clap clap clap* In the women's restroom, there is there market lemon sugar scrub for washing your hands AND a whipped beef tallow hand moisturizer............... say less, right? The bathroom and entire establishment if very modern and sophisticated while maintaining a comfortable casual atmosphere. The service was wonderful, very attentive. I do wish I could remember the name of our server, but she really was great. And the hostess did a wonderful job of seating us with four under four and four adults. The patio seating was surprisingly comfortable for how hot it's been outside. The food was good. A fun and impressive cocktail menu, however since I don't drink I had the privilege of gaining my calories in some great appetizers. (BACON WRAPPED DATES) The kids breakfast was simple, but my kids complained they didn't like the eggs and potatoes because they tasted like nothing, and they were right. So for other kids it's might be just right for them, too, however if your kids have tastebuds, the sweet treats and meatballs do the trick (very garlicky meatballs for me) It was lovely and fun to visit the market afterwards too.

We returned to Parlay Kitchen + Cocktails on a Wednesday and had a completely different experience…read morethan our first visit, in the best way. Javi guided us toward the Wednesday offering of their Parlay Chardonnay with bruschetta, and that pairing alone shifted the entire evening. We had only planned for a simple glass of wine, but his recommendation introduced us to something far more thoughtful. The bruschetta was bright and well composed, layered with fresh flavors that complemented the wine beautifully. I was genuinely surprised to learn Parlay has its own label. The Chardonnay was clean, refreshing, and balanced with the kind of crisp structure and subtle fruit notes you expect from a well executed glass. It felt intentional, not just another house option. We added wings, which were well prepared, and my husband ordered the beer cheese chicken Philly. I tried it and the sauce stood out immediately, rich without being heavy and full of flavor. What truly elevated the experience was the service, and Deedee set the tone. Her presence carries a level of professionalism that is rare, but it is her warmth and attentiveness that make her exceptional. She leads with confidence, reads the room effortlessly, and creates an environment where guests feel genuinely cared for without it ever feeling forced. There is a natural ease to how she manages both her team and the floor, and it shows in every detail of the experience. She is not just managing, she is elevating the entire operation. Javi complemented that perfectly with thoughtful recommendations and a genuine approach that made the evening feel curated rather than transactional. Our first visit left us underwhelmed. This time, everything aligned. The right selections, the right guidance, and the right leadership. We left genuinely glad we came back. If there is a Parlay near you, it is worth a second look.

While I don't recall ordering food there, we had ordered drinks on several occasions. We also saw the food being brought out for others, not from our group, on several occasions. The service, the staff, and the drinks were all great! The 1912 Lounge can provide a cold beer, some handcrafted cocktails, or a variety of dishes, from appetizers and salads to burgers and other large entrees, and desserts. They have bold wines and plenty of domestic and imported beer options. The atmosphere comes across as friendly and cozy. The signature cocktail that was the biggest hit with our group was the Blueberry Gin Fizz with Empress gin, blueberry, citrus, and a soda float. The 1912 Lobby Bar and Lounge serves food until 10 PM on weekdays and until 11 PM on weekends. It is open until 11 PM from Sunday through Thursday and until Midnight on Friday and Saturday. You can find their food menu at https://www.sanmarcosresort.com/pdfs/1912-menu-10-1-25.pdf. The drink menu is available at https://www.sanmarcosresort.com/pdfs/1912-beverages-2024.pdf. They also offer live music from local musicians every Friday and Saturday night from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. On Mondays, they have Monday Night Football deals, including $4 draft beer and food specials from 5 PM to close. On Tuesdays, they have Fajitas and Margaritas Night with $4 Blue Margaritas from 5 PM to close. Fridays are Fish Fry Fridays for only $15 from 5 PM to close. You can follow @sanmarcosresort on Instagram for more specials and events. I'll be back in a few months for another stay and conference at this hotel, so I expect to be back at the 1912 Lounge then. Looking forward to it!

This restaurant is legitimately fantastic and deserves to be discovered by more people. My husband and I went on a Friday night, and the place was absolutely poppin with a great, lively atmosphere. We split the Ammo Burger with onion rings and the Philly cheesesteak (we added jalapeños, of course!) with fries. Everything was phenomenal. The burger was delicious, the Philly cheesesteak was fantastic, and the fries deserve their own shout-out. They're cooked in beef tallow, and the crisp on them was absolutely perfect. The onion rings were also delicious! They had an amazing beer special while we were there, buy one, get one for $1, which I believe may have been a Labor Day special, so definitely check before you go. But we were more than happy to take advantage of it! One thing I really loved was seeing the chef come out and make his way around the restaurant to say hello and check in with everyone. That always creates such a welcoming, personal vibe and says a lot about a place. Seriously, if you haven't discovered Smoke & Grain yet, put it on your list. Great food, great atmosphere, cold beer, and an all-around fun night out. We will definitely be back!

DJ can be accommodating... at times. Recommend coming with a large group. Cons: Horrible location tucked away in the middle of nowhere. No dress code, and if there is, it's not enforced. Bottle service areas have huge couches. Smaller groups will feel lost among friends. A bit overpriced for the location. The facility tends to stay warm. Though barely anyone in the venue on a Friday night, and if you have bottle service, server visits to your table are few and far between. Though they do congregate among themselves and check their phones frequently. Sigh. Fails: Hookah smoking is on the menu. A lame attempt to entice a younger crowd in, while alienating the older crowd that has the disposable income. Vaping is also allowed as staff doesn't admonish you if you do it in the open and in front of other patrons. Total turn off and only reason we would not return. If you want to be respected like a high-end nightclub, act like one and cater to your paying clientele.

It is an attachment to San tan brewery and also has food options from the San tan brewery but a smaller choice. They're open until 1am so it's also a great place to finish the night. We ordered the nachos with shredded chicken and also the chicken wings. They're both good to order. One thing to note is that the nachos are potato chips and not tortilla chips so it might not be something you prefer. The toppings were plenty and tasty. The guys ate it so fast while we were chatting. We ordered multiple different style and flavor old fashions and the menu will indicate if the it comes with an add on like cookie or bacon with a little icon. The cookies were all fantastic! The bacon was tasty but a little bit soggy and not crispy for my taste. But the fat and savor of the bacon really works well with the sweet old fashioned choices. The sweet cookie works well with the less sweet and more tart options. It's pretty smart. Our server, Hanna was very attentive with food, drinks and waters and also very upbeat. Definitely not a dull place to get a drink at all. People seemed to be having a good time and enjoying the cozy feel of the bar. I would recommend this place if you're in downtown Chandler for cocktails and drinks and you don't want to stand all night and prefer to sit and chat.

In between cocktails, we shared a couple of snacks that were such a welcome addition -- something you sadly don't always find at local speakeasies! The service was top-notch thanks to our bartender Rocco, whose knowledge and attention to detail made the experience even more fun. Between the creative cocktails, immersive vibe, and fantastic hospitality, Undertow is easily one of the coolest spots around!
