    Amazing rooftop lounge. My wife and I went here while in town. The drinks were great. The service was fantastic. And the views were stunning.

    This review is for the Skysill Chalet Winter Pop-Up. When I booked this experience online, it cost $32. The cost included a snack and welcome drink. I assumed the decor and space would be over the top with Christmas decor too. This was THE MOST underwhelming Christmas pop up bar I have ever been. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH $32 per person. It's one small room, and while the decor they did have was nice, it could have been better. The welcome drink was some kind of warm toddy thing, which they offered to spike for us. The snack was one chocolate cake pop. I didn't even stay and order an actual drink because of how disappointed I was in this experience. I've been to quite a few Christmas pop ups, and I have never paid more than $15 to get in, and the decor was always great. This was extremely disappointing and I don't recommend this to anyone. There are lots of fun Christmas pop ups in the valley that don't cost anything to get in and are ALOT better than this.

    The rooftop bar has about 8 seats with mostly standing room around the bar area. The view from the bar is incredible and I bet it's even more beautiful at night! The pool is a bit small and quick to get crowded. Not many seats around it either unfortunately.

    This is located at the top of the Westin in downtown Tempe. We were able to find street parking. The hotel is very pretty. The service and view were perfect. Zia made the experience so fun. The seating is dirty, not cleaned, lots of torn furniture and little crickets and bugs at night. The pizza was generic and bland but the wagu sliders were so good! They also have a great mocktail list with a beautiful sunset view.

    This place is located at the top of the DT Tempe Westin. Just walk in, go right, past the gift shop and take the elevator to the rooftop, don't need to check in with staff or anything. I thought I had already reviewed this spot but I must have kept forgetting. So, I really think an accurate rating sits at 3.5. But I lean towards 4 because I give this place 5 stars just for the view alone!! It's all ambiance here. This is a hotel bar and I've noticed it's mostly hotel guests up there (based on chatting with people) which makes sense but it's also a nice spot for locals to check out, we are local and go here every once in a while. We recently stopped by on May 4th for Star Wars themed cocktails. The drinks were cute for sure, but weak and not worth $18. I'm still glad I went. I've been up there a number of times and caught some beautiful sunsets. I have never tried to order food so I can't speak to that. However like I said, their cocktails tend to look better than they taste, given the price tag of $18. Final verdict, for sure go here and enjoy the beautiful view/sunset with a cocktail and then be done with it. It's not a place I would hang out for hours. Then I move onto another place in DT Tempe. Sometimes they have a DJ and it's a fun vibe. To the point of some other reviews- yes, the service is slow and drinks are just okay. But that view tho....

    Perfect spot to grab a quick drink for date night or with a friend! Highly recommend making a reservation around sunset! The most beautiful views of downtown Tempe. Food is average so I'd stick to drinks and enjoy the view. Pictured are drinks that were a part of their holiday menu.

    Fun rooftop bar for Sunday funday or watching games. They have many TVs around the rooftop. Their cocktails are a tad pricey, but very tasty.

    Had a great Sunday funday with friends at this location. We stopped in for drinks and to catch the views. I had a few margaritas and thought they were pretty tasty. I would definitely come back but maybe once the weather is done cooling off. It was fairly warm but they had plenty of shaded areas.

    Obviously the views are great. No matter where you sit, you'll have a nice view of part of the Valley. But like others have stated, the service level is pretty awful. We were initially sitting at high tops in the bar area and never got waited on. We moved to the bar itself and still waited for a good while before the bartender came by. And unfortunately the pours are awful. My wife's marg cost $14 and had maybe an ounce of tequila. Based on our visit, the best strategy is to go there and enjoy the view in the seating area and leave when someone finally asks what you'd like!

    The view is amazing

    Is there an age limit? Over 18? Over 21?

    No, there were families up there that were staying in the hotel. I would check the policy just in case

    Friend and I made a reservation here to do some weekday catching up. We parked in the Chase bank…read moreparking lot since DDG offers 2 hour validated parking. It was a shortish walk but we ended up accidentally going the long way, my suggestion is to walk behind the Hot n Juicy Crawfish restaurant through the pretty walkway and you land right at Filthy Animal, which has DDG as part of it. We were led back to a secret-ish area and sat next to the entrance, it really is a beautiful space with a kinda groovy vibe. My friend and I wore sparkly ensembles to fit the vibe. It wasn't very busy on a Wednesday evening and we arrived during happy hour so we had the edamame hummus & chicken tendies plus two drinks each. I had a margarita & lemon drop, my friend had a Ramos gin fizz & bees knees. The hummus was excellent, I liked the pairing of the creamy texture with crispy plantain chips and sweet pomegranate pieces. You would think chicken tendies would be kind of boring but they were actually so delicious paired with a gochujang sauce and a spicy aioli sauce. We literally left no crumbs! The staff was very attentive and sweet, we were finished with food and drinks about 90 minutes later and most of that was us yapping.

    I really wanted to love this place. Let me set off with the positives. The decor, the DJ, the…read moreseating ambience, and overall just vibes are 100%, 5/5 out of five stars. The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

    I started coming here back in 2019, and at the time it felt like one of those rare places you…read morealmost don't want to tell people about because it was so special. The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.
