Almost Famous was a fun and unexpected stop during a bachelorette party in Scottsdale. We were originally dressed up to go to a lounge, but ended up here because we were able to get a comped table, which was a nice surprise. The venue itself is very casual, so we were definitely a little overdressed, but that honestly added to the experience.
The vibe is very Vegas like, high energy and unapologetically a club. The music was good, the crowd was lively, and the people watching alone made it worth it. The wait staff behind the DJ booth looked like they were having a good time, which added to the overall energy of the night.
If you are looking for a casual club with good music, fun energy, and great people watching, this is a solid spot, especially for a group or a celebration. Mostly a younger crowd though.

Great place to hang out with friends to have a great time!

We had a great time dancing the night away at Almost Famous! My husband and I are huge fans of house music and Almost Famous had the vibes right! Bartenders were quick and friendly. Other staff was great as well! Thanks for a fun night!

We came here Friday night for a bachelorette party. The hunk-o-mania was happening. That itself was not my cup of tea, but the gals enjoyed it. The DJ that night before, and during the show was fantastic! I even went up to him to let him know that. He got us going and dancing for the night.

I really wanted to dance, but none of my friends were up for going out that night â so I decided to go edm clubbing alone for the first time. At first, it felt a bit awkward since most people were in groups. But one of the security staff (I wish Iâd gotten his name â next time!!) completely turned my night around. He kept an eye out for me the entire evening and even invited me to stand behind the DJ booth. Even though I came alone, he made me feel like I wasnât. He was genuinely kind and just an all-around AWESOME human being!!!
If youâre a solo female thinking of going â donât hesitate. These are good people. I felt safe, welcomed, and really glad I went.

Came here last night for a show. The staff was great, very friendly and did their best to serve everyone as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, their cocktails were so bad we could barely finish them (the old fashioned we ordered was especially atrocious). The prices were also absurd being over $40 for two cocktails (with an auto 20% gratuity added to the check). I donât mind paying a premium for cocktails in Scottsdale, but they seriously need to give their bartender some more training.

Great vibe. Too loud to talk, great for drinking and dancing. Drinks hella expensive, best to pre-game. Loved the music, lights, and bathrooms were clean.

This place may claim to be LGBTQ friendly but that wasnât my experience. Me and my husband were here for a bachelorette and had a terrible experience. My group bought a section with drinks and my bag went missing from our section sometime throughout the night. The staff were not helpful with the exception of one girl bartender who took the time to talk to me and take my number down. Otherwise, all the other staff blew me off like I didnât matter. The only reason the front staff listened to me was because I told them we had a section and I only said that because they were trying to kick me and my husband out. After that, a manager came out to speak to us but honestly by that time the damage was already done. There was a camera right above our section and when we asked if they could check the footage they said only the owner had access to it. Come to find out, one of the drag queens that works there who we invited into our section took my bag and me and my husband had to uber to their house to get it back. I donât want to hurt anyoneâs reputation but how it played out I donât understand how my bag was (taken by mistake) and then left outside the house for me to grab. The staff here are rude and I would say homophobic (At least many of them gave me that impression) . I would not feel safe coming here again. Especially having a section and then my bag is stolen out of that section by someone who is affiliated/staffed by this place. I wonât be coming back to the place as it is definitely not a safe space and is sketchy to say the least. This happened on a Saturday night. If the owner sees this check the cameras on 7/19/25 around from 11-12:30 and see for yourself.
The DRAG QUEENS were completely entertaining!!! Absolutely talented dancers and singers...We had a night to remember!! Completely charming people!!

Nice vibe if you like EDM. Upscale club with smaller crowd. I would say more for a 30 and up crowd but great for Bachelorette party.

Honestly if you like house, this might the best place in US. Absolutely incredible. Back to Idaho tomorrow to listen to country and cows mooing.

DRINKS ARE LIKE $15+ plus 4% tax and tip and actually taxes the vibes be lit but dang you gotta pregame a little before or something all and all its a good house club good djs from time to time. Donât like that they hold up people in line after 12pm so come early.

I was on a trip to Scottsdale for a wedding. My friends decided to come here because some of our mutuals got a table. I haven't waited in a line to get in a club in a long time. but after 30 minutes, we could only get in when we paid the bouncer $100.
Once we got in, I found out quickly that it was NOT worth waiting or paying for. The amount of greasy, creepy, sleazeballs that were in this club was insane. The average age was probably 42. Like what are you doing in a club? Honestly, it felt more like a midlife crisis convention than a nightlife spot. The DJ sounded like he was actually trying to make the worst drops possible as social experiment to see how bad he could make the set... I could've done better with headphones and spotify on a macbook pro.
Maybe I'm jaded because I'm from Austin where the crowd is fun, everyone is hot, and the music is actually good, but this was comically the absolute worst club with the weirdest vibes I've ever been a part of. Also, not to mention, two vodka redbulls was $48, which I don't mind in a great club, but in THIS place? No.
