The crowd is friendly, diverse, and respectful--exactly the kind of place you want to spend a night out. Huge kudos to the owner, Audrey, for creating and sustaining such a special and successful space for our community. You can feel the care, intention, and pride that goes into this bar, and it shows in every detail-from the atmosphere to the people it attracts. Boycott isn't just a bar, it's a community--and that doesn't happen by accident. It's intentional, If you're looking for great music, good vibes, and a place where everyone is welcome, Boycott is it. Downtown Phoenix is lucky to have it.

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.

If you hate cheap drinks, don't come! If you hate country music, don't come! Otherwise, go there!!! This place reminds me of old-school fun bars back in the eighties where dancing--and a bit of drinking--are the highlight of your week! All ages are there from 5:30 to 9:30! Seriously!!! From 21 to 99!!! After 9:30, it gets a bit too loud and busy for me, but that's not the club's fault. I just can't take too much partying anymore. lol' Highlights!!! No cover before eight--unless it's a holiday. Drinks are crazy cheap before eight. Free two-step, country swing classes Wednesday and Saturday at 6:30 Free line dancing classes all night--just watch and learn. People are so fun and friendly. They'll help you. There's also pool tables off to the side...and get this--barstools and tables!!! Yep, they actually allow you to sit down unlike all those clubs in Scottsdale that charge you to rent a table. Anyway, if you like to dance and listen to country music, you have to check out Denim and Diamonds!

The overall experience there last night was good. One experience that was not great at all was I…read morewas trying to get a drink from the bartender. I believe her name was Brianna right when you walk in the door, she asked what I want. I let her know and as I'm getting my wallet out even before she gets the bottle out she tells me to hurry up we have people waiting and I turn around and there's only one person behind me. There was no line or anything. It felt like she didn't want to communicate with people and just get people out of the way it came across as very rude and disrespectful.

Whether…read moreyou're there during the day or night, you can always expect good music, good drinks, and good vibes. Since the re-do, Maya feels like you're entering a Tulum escape. With a variety of games and outdoor vibes on my side, and nice tables and a DJ set on the other side, there's truly something for everyone. Service is always great, and with multiple bars, you can usually get a drink pretty quickly. Ticketed events are always very fairly priced and the drinks are always a fair price, as well. From Pauly D, to Odd Mob, to other incredible DJs, you can expect great talent all year round!

I think it's open only on weekends. I really haven't spent more than a few seconds inside because dance clubs aren't my thing. (anyone who's seen me dance, trust me, is thankful for that). But it does get fairly packed. It's run by the coolest sports bar in town, Majerles, to which it is directly connected by a single door near the back. So, if I'm not mistaken, there are actually 6 different bars/lounges right on this corner of Washington and 2nd Street downtown. EDIT: From the photo I'm looking at above, it doesn't exactly look like a dance club. Maybe I was too inebriated whenever I visited this place to understand what the hell was going on. If anyone else stops by feel free to correct me.

Apparently the confusion continues…read more I'm not sure what PT was smoking when he was at 9 Lounge but when I was there it was definitely a sports bar and not a night club! That's not to say that it doesn't turn into one at some point (I have seen sports bars turn part of their establishment into clubs- Tequila Rain on Lansdowne comes to mind) but the Suns were in town and it was just the back room of Majerle's. If the front bar is packed I would suggest sticking your head around the corner to see if its busy in the back room, there may be more room for you to stand. I say may because they have set up a bunch of tables that are quite close to the bar so you may be lingering over someone while they eat. Its really actually better to watch the game in the front room of Majerles, IMO.

Cake is a notorious drug den where all the seediest dealers hang out.. The first time I went here a guy was on the ground in the corner foaming at the mouth. The club was evacuated and I don't think this person made it out. Last weekend was more of the same only this time it was a woman collapsed and convulsing on the ground at the entrance. A large crowd was formed watching the paramedics save her. The city of Scottsdale has their hands full working an uphill battle in this area of town. From what I have witnessed first hand, Cake is the darkest of dark. The atmosphere inside this cramped dive bar space is pure chaos. The only luring component that stands out here are a handful of beautiful servers in sexy lingerie ringing up expensive bar tabs. Navigating around paramedics both times I went here has left a first hand traumatizing impression. The number of ER calls fielded to this address must be staggering as Cake is a well positioned host to the parasitic CRI$I$ that exists in this sector of old town bars.

I will definitely be back and they play jazzy music most nights if the week. You can tell this is a local secret because it wasn't over crowded but every one came to hear the band. Flute, trombone, keys, guitar. Such a fun experience

A small group of us came in on a Thursday evening, right before closing time. This was my second…read moretime dining here, the previous time was 3-4 years ago. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, seated in a roomy booth, and had piping hot chips and fresh salsa dropped off at our table within moments of sitting down. Honestly, the fact that the chips were hot & fresh at the end of the evening was impressive to me! Our waitress was sweet, very friendly & took great care of our group. You never know what you're going to get when it's so close to closing time, but again, I was very pleased with our experience! Typically, even mid-day at other Mexican restaurants, I've gotten chips that are not even remotely warm. At this point, I already knew the dinner would be out of this world!!! Also... the salsa.... Absolutely PERFECT! Just the right amount of spice, the consistency was excellent. YUM! The menu had so many options, it was nearly impossible to choose... I went with the Tostada Verda & I also ordered a side of the Jalapeño Cream Cheese, as I figured it would compliment my Tostada. This addition should not be ignored, I recommend 100%!! It's also good with the chips and salsa ‍ I can't even begin to explain how delicious my tostada was.... Anyone who loves tostadas understands the disappointment that comes along with a SOGGY tostada.... I'm at the point where I expect slight sogginess when I order one of these at a restaurant, because that's the case 75% of the time... NOT THIS TIME THOUGH!! Wow! The tostada was perfectly crisp & didn't have any soggy spots at all.... It melted in my mouth. The fact that Ponchos has mastered the art of keeping that shell on point even when it's piled high with shredded beef, sauces, veggies, etc. is absolutely incredible! !! The meat was out of this world. So full of flavor! & I loved the green chile. Definitely on the Top 3 list of tostadas I've had in my life. After our meal, we were given a quick tour of the place, which was fun. We got to enjoy looking at the photos all over the walls, which really gave it that authentic family owned restaurant vibe. Between this and the wonderful service, it really felt like home. I could easily continue to rattle on about this place, but instead, I'll leave you all with a warning.... If you haven't tried Poncho's yet, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!

Their Instagram said it was for take out only, so we ordered from the side window. We asked the employee if we could eat it inside if we ordered additional drinks and food. She said yes...but then said we should've ordered the taco box inside. So we asked if the taco box could've been ordered inside the restaurant then. She said yes. We asked but if we ordered additional food and drinks inside can we eat our taco box inside. She changed it to "you'd have to ask inside". We left confused what the actual policy was. We were going to ask inside but there was a line and it seemed to be moving slowly. The taco box was worth trying! Maybe a little too over hyped on Instagram. (Pricey!) Presentation was nice and they were generous with their sauce.
