I'd say this place is a 4.5/5 but definitely deserves to be rounded up to a 5 if not for the inconsistent service.\n\nOne of the best happy hours I've ever enjoyed!!! More on that below!\n\nAtmosphere: 4/5 Brick walls, old fashioned dark wood, old fashioned glass chandeliers, large bar in center with larges booths, few small 2-4 person tables around the wall surrounding the bar. the lighting was on the dimmer-side which was nice. Bartenders in vests/1920's-esque attire. waitresses = too much make-up and dressed on the skanky side which put a dent in the classy/suave vibe. We loved the music. we arrived around 7pm and the music was folk styled rock which was perfect whilst sipping on an old fashioned. During the night the music morphed into legit techno beats which were perfect because the place got more crowded and we got more drunk. (I believe they had a DJ there that night who did a great job mixing well known trance songs).\n\nService: 3.5/4\nWe were promptly seated but then had to wait 20 minutes for anyone to stop by our table. This was fine because we were in no rush and wouldn't have been a negative at all if the rest of the night the service was as expected. The first two hours service was lightning fast and efficient, we had arrived around 6:45 and happy hour ends around 9. At about 8:40 the server basically vanished and did not re appear until 9:15 which ended perfectly for her and the bar as our drinks went from 6$/drink to 12$/drink and the food we ordered thereafter doubled in price. We both were under the impression that the server did this on purpose because the place was about half empty by 8:45-8:50 and servers in a place like this always come ask if you'd like anything else prior to happy hour ending. \n\n\nFood 4.5/5\nWe had the items below:\n\nPretzels 5+/5\nThree-way deviled eggs 4.5/5\nWedge salad 5+/5\nDeviled burger 4/5\n\nAs you can see everything was well executed and tasted great. The burger was a good burger but I had higher expectations becasue of its name and ingredients, was expecting soemthing more... it was still a \n\nDrinks 5/5\n\nWe had 6 old fashions (3 each) All were amazing. This is our go-to drink at good bars and this place has one of the best I've ever had. If you are familiar with PDT in NYC this or Green Russel in Denver, CO this old fashioned is comparable and may slightly surpass these two other amazing speakeasy styled bars. Other drinks looked great but had to stick to the good ole' old fashioned\n\n\nHappy hour: Unbelievable happy hour, we ate a full meal and had 6 drinks for a total of 81$ (before tip). if our server hadn't pulled a fast one on the happy ending timing the total bill would have been around 60! simply amazing deal for what you get and the atmosphere.\n\n\nDefinitely coming back next time I'm in scottsdale! If you love speakeasy and/or bombastic libations. This place is a must-go if you're in town.
