The Dark Side Reviews
"Manager" Amy served what she claimed was a lemon drop, confirmed she made it with vodka and sprite, then when I explained the specs in a lemon drop she told me "I'm wrong" she claimed she googled it, and then claimed I must have never been a bartender. I currently run a bar program for a multi-operation franchise, as well as being pretty competent as a bartender so I'm pretty sure I know how a lemon drop is made. Included is what it looks like when you "Google a lemon drop"....read full review
I freaking love this spot!! The Jazz Mondays are exceptional, open mic on Tuesdays, and a mix of things the rest of the week. Great lil secret kept in Tempe!
What a nightmare. Never again. Place reeked of Smurfs- if you know what I mean.

The Dark Side is a lively dive bar known for its welcoming atmosphere and fun environment. Customers enjoy original music, especially during Tuesday night's open mic, and can relax with a drink or two while sharing great Mexican food. The owner, Jason, creates a warm and inviting space, while staff like Mrs. Amy provide friendly customer service. However, there was an issue with a lemon drop drink, where the manager insisted on her incorrect version despite the customer's expertise and was confrontational when asked about it. Overall, it is a enjoyable place to hang out, listen to music, and have a good time with friends.
