I recently moved to the area and was really looking forward to exploring new places as a single woman getting to know the city. I came into this establishment drawn by the live music—it was lovely, and for a moment, I felt at ease. As someone who just finished a performance residency in Las Vegas, I genuinely appreciated the atmosphere and was excited to support the space.
Unfortunately, my evening took a turn that left me feeling humiliated and deeply uncomfortable.
I arrived just as the kitchen was closing and made a point to ask multiple times if it was still okay to order a glass of wine. I didn’t want to overstep or cause any issues. The bartender reassured me it was fine, so I ordered and quietly enjoyed the rest of the evening. When I closed out, I tipped $15 on a $30 bill—not because the service was exceptional, but because I believe in acknowledging hospitality and effort.
As I was finishing my glass of wine, I was suddenly told I needed to leave. Meanwhile, a loud and disruptive group remained at the end of the bar. When I asked why they weren’t being asked to leave, I was told they were “wine club members.” That answer felt dismissive and unfair.
Then I was accused of knocking over a place setting, when all I had done was try to move a personal item from the bar—something minor that became exaggerated, it seemed, to justify the treatment I received.
I’ve worked as a front-of-house, bar, and operations manager in multiple fine dining establishments. I understand closing procedures, guest etiquette, and what respectful service looks like. And I can also recognize when someone is being treated differently.
As a Black woman, I left that night feeling targeted and unwelcome. The disparity in how I was treated compared to the other patrons—who did not look like me—was too clear to ignore.
This was more than a bad night. It was a painful reminder that bias still shows up in ways that are subtle, but powerful. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and works to ensure all guests are treated with equal dignity and respect.

I guess they close early on Thursdays? Got here at 8:15 bartender said they were closed already. Hours in the site say they close at 9. There has been an increasingly nonappreciation of locals in this community. Who stay here in the summer. Have fun being slow in the summers because we won’t come back.

It's got that Cheers vibe in Scottsdale, just around the corner from Paradise Valley. They've got a cool setup where you can bring your own bottle, and they'll open it for you – way cheaper than buying a couple of glasses! Plus, the people there are a blast to hang out with.

First time going here and it was a great experience. Had a great happy hour up until six with both wine and food options.
As well, they had live music that wasn’t overwhelmingly loud and you could still have a conversation. There are also tv, so this place can accommodate almost anyone’s needs. Will definitely be back.
