DO NOT RECOMMEND! My friends and I came here Friday night for a bachelorette and we reserved a table 4 months in advance. When we got there they said they’re sold out and told us they can give us a makeshift bar top “table” for the 11 of us right in the entry way. They told us unless we pay $3500 to upgrade, the “table” for $1500 is the best they can do for us. We decided to stay and tried to make the best of it but the location of the table was awful. Because it was in the walk way, people were spilling drinks down our backs. They were putting all their used glasses on our “table.” The bottle girl came by only twice. Management didn’t even try to seem understanding of the situation. Our night was ruined and wasted.
The Gilbert Goons are not to be celebrated. Any reputable business would not be proud to be associated with them. They beat up children, in blitz style attacks, ambushing them, sometimes as many as 15-1 with brass knuckles. A family lost their beloved 16 year old son due to this terrible and criminal behavior. Do you really want to be associated with anyone who glorifies this? #justice4prestonlord
By far the best place to go if you are looking for a fun night in Scottsdale! Alex and Adam are truly the best and always make sure everyone is being taken care of! All of the servers are great and so much fun to be around! Definitely reccomend!!!
Absolute aholes working here, avoid at all cost
Maybe if you live here, this is the only show in town unfortunately but I can see why Cake on the same street is more popular. If it weren’t for special circumstances out of town celebrating someone else, most people with discerning tastes would probably never come here. “Clever small bites” in description is laughable. Nothing clever about this place by design. I’d never consider consuming anything here (edit: clarifying I wouldn’t consume anything here because the place is dirty, who would have an appetite, even if you were plastered? It looks clean online but irl is in shambles/gross, even in dim, colored lighting it’s filthy, cannot imagine full lighting.) There’s a club next to it that’s probably owned by the same folks because they have the same lame ahh looking screen saver and both have the same sounding “DJs” spinning the same sad stuff but most importantly have the trademark of being completely unable to understand how transitioning between songs works. It’s hilarious. I don’t blame people for mostly standing around and hardly dancing (if anyone is dancing it’s just because they’re out and need to move, as that’s why they went out so if I were a DJ here I wouldn’t flatter myself too much to see people who naturally try to make the best out of a terrible situation to manage to still try to have fun.) It’s pointless to even section off a “dance floor” since it’s all just standing area. This place does the least by design that the idea and description of their “vip” is as sad as it is laughable (“to make you feel like a celebrity” from their site lmaoooooo by “celebrity” I think they mean “fool” what a sad small pond). “vip” here makes little to no sense on every level, it’s not much of a section or venue and doesn’t even make up for it in their sonic or libation selections/style. Their bars don’t even offer decent premium selections. Makes sense most of the events are for things like sports (March Madness) because not much else is going on worth “celebrating” that you gotta make events up to seem like it is. It is literally just a dingy sports bar that simply *wants to think* it’s “high end”…the fact that anyone even refers to it as “high end” is pure tragicomedy. Edit: as to the crowd, it’s 75/25, 75 chill and 25 lame/high strung weirdos with nothing better to do but wanting to feel “special” so badly as if it matters in such a place as this lmao).
The promoter Dennis Driftmeyer is an A1 scammer. We were told 2k minimum and we walked out with an 8k tab of things we didn’t even order. The service was great outside of being lied to. He then told my friend he’d get him party favors and took $100 from him and never returned.
I love a night out in old town. Recently I learned that an employee at Riot House, Avery Renner, has made a mockery on social media of her brother’s hand in murder of a 15 year old boy in Gilbert, AZ. Morally, I will not be able to return to riot house. Plenty of other spots to choose from in OT.
