Interesting format as they're was one server running the bar and outside seating. We opted to sit outside as the weather was nice, but the tables around us didn't look like they'd been cleared for a while. Bloody Mary i ordered was forgettable and the Napoli chicken sandwich I was very dry and unseasoned. The saving grace was the menu is reasonably priced for Scottsdale, so I didn't feel completely taken. Can't say it's return, too many better options in the area.
P.S.: don't pay to swap fries for a salad on sandwiches, $3 for like 6 fries.

Ended up actually happening!

Best hometown “Cheers” vibe EVER! This place is honestly a gem. Everyone knows everyone, and even if they don’t, they treat you like they do. The staff and regulars are friendly, welcoming, and make you feel right at home the second you walk in.
The food? Bomb. Every dish hits. The specialty drink menu? Dangerously good.
And yes… I’ve even spotted a few celebrity faces here 👀✨
If you want great energy, great people, and great everything, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn’t busy. Ordered a tomato soup and wraps. Wraps were decent and tomato soup is extremely salty. Salad that came with it is light and delicious. Service is just ok. It’s just one person who is working and gets the job done. Highlight is the price and ambiance. It’s fantastic to sit outside especially at night. Everything is reasonably priced for a location like this. Use inKind to make it even better. Would go in again with friends and try some other items.

My ebike died here on my ride home. I wanted to spend some money on my Amex Plat card while I waited for my ride and was treated very poorly. No place to lock a $1500.00 bike and not even offered water as I was denied service.

My business ordered catered food from Metropolis for our grand opening event. Our guests raved about their meatballs and salads! Their patio space is also beautiful. Their efficiency and great food made our event much easier to manage. Thank you, Metropolis!!!

First time to try this place. As soon as we walked in Fox News was on the TV at the bar. No thank you. This place should appeal to all not just the right.

Perfect lunch spot for locals and wage slaves in the area. Everyday a great meal special at a very low price. Enjoyed one of the best burgers I've had in years today, easily. Just solid from properly cooked to buttered/toasted buns. Great beer and wine selection. Eclectic and appetizing menu. The bartendress was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere lends itself to a fantastic intimate and chill dinner date or small group of friends. Good music to top it off. If you are local, on a date, or need a reasonably priced place for a business lunch: this is it.
Great food and experience. Owners and staff are good people too. Check it out!

Poor waitress was all by herself. Management needs to hire more people and schedule better. She did a fantastic job handling nearly 50 people by herself.

There needs to be a second runner, my waitress was also bartending and seemed to be a bit overwhelmed. She was lovely to us.

Metropolis is the best amenity at Optima Camelview. Even if you don’t live there, it’s a fun experience. The outdoor seating is 👌 also Elliana is the GOAT server 🐐
