I hope they bring the vibe back for those of us in Scottsdale who love music & the live Phish streams. Please The staff informed me they haven't done it in a while or didn't even know what I was talking about or even know why the bar is named Rift! (I assumed it was after the Phish album/song). Maybe hire some heads who love craft beer or change the name of the bar.

It was posted up at the front desk. All we had to do was find the phone and give the password when they pick up. The wall opened up and we walked in and sat at the bar. Gee (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was wonderful! She helped us with choosing a drink and chatted with us. Our order: Chicago Fizz $15 Toronto $18 Fernet Branca $? My Chicago Fizz was good! I would get that again. The other two were pretty strong and not my type of drinks but he liked them. I think he may have gotten 2 Fernet Brancas. I took a sip of that and couldn't drink it. There were a few tables occupied when we got there around 7:45pm but then they left not too long after and other parties walked in later. Think we left around 8:45 or so. I would come back and try another cocktail next time! Loved the cool entrance!

They are some of the most personable and welcoming people you could meet. Jack, who helped design the space, did an incredible job. The establishment is absolutely beautiful, warm, and elegant. Catherine brings so much knowledge and experience to the wine education side, including her advanced sommelier training, and she makes every class feel special and approachable. Jack oversees the food, the daily operations, and the overall experience with professionalism, kindness, and humility. The caviar, cheeses, and food pairings are outstanding and thoughtfully matched to the wines. Their wine selection is exceptional, ranging from excellent everyday wines to exclusive and elite bottles. Everything is carefully stored in climate-controlled areas, which shows the level of care and quality they bring to every detail. I truly cannot speak more highly of them, their knowledge, their hospitality, and the beautiful experience they have created.

There is also seating at the counter by the register and then a couple of spaces for two people along the windows. There's a nice selection of wines from Italy, France, the US and a few from Australia, New Zealand, but very very few of those. They serve limited amounts of food, things such as olives, nuts, bread, and a couple of sandwiches and salads. It didn't appear anything was cooked or warm. Service was fantastic. They came over to the table numerous times to ask us if we had any questions, to take our order, to bring the wine, open it and then serve it until we finished the bottle. This is run by the same person that runs Jamie's wine bar at the Wrigley mansion.

It was a bit warm inside, maybe due to the amount of people. They have outdoor seating as well.

Our cocktails are all really good, and the details, like the glowing light bulb in our glasses, just upped the game. The place went from empty too absolutely packed in a matter of minutes. Apparently the bar was closed for a private event, and we just happened to squeeze in before. It was our lucky day because we would have been very disappointed if we had been unable to go in because of a private event. Porter Saloon always does it right. Even downstairs, the decorations were amazing. This really is a place to go especially at holidays!
