If I can give it negative stars I would! If you want to be overcharged, talked down to, and treated like you're too drunk to notice what's happening with your own money, this is the place. Our group ordered drinks at the bar, and somehow 2-3 drinks came out to around $200. What made it even more suspicious was that my friend had JUST purchased essentially the same round for roughly $40-$50. When we noticed the huge difference and questioned the bartender, there was suddenly an attempt to take the bill back from us. Absolutely not. We know what we ordered, and we know how to read a receipt. We waited to speak with management expecting someone to actually investigate what happened. Instead, we were told that they "don't do refunds" because it's against their policy and were basically offered a free drink as a solution. A free drink does not resolve a disputed charge of that amount.Also never received that free drink haha! And then, to top off an already horrible experience, a female employee looked directly at our group and yelled, "WELCOME TO SCOTTSDALE, BITCH!" Seriously? This is how you speak to paying customers who are questioning their bill? I understand this is nightlife. People are drinking, it's loud, and you're not always going to encounter the nicest people. But there is a HUGE difference between a rowdy bar atmosphere and customers feeling like they are being taken advantage of financially and then mocked when they question it. The most disturbing part is the impression this left us with: Do they assume customers are too intoxicated to notice discrepancies on their tabs? Because that is exactly how this situation felt. Being in Old Town Scottsdale and serving alcohol does not give an establishment a free pass to dismiss legitimate billing disputes or treat customers like garbage. If a customer questions a charge, management should be able to explain exactly what was ordered, the price of each item, and why the total is what it is not hide behind "no refunds," offer another drink, and allow staff to insult the customer. Completely unprofessional, disrespectful, and unacceptable. I would strongly recommend anyone coming here take a picture of your receipt, check every single charge before handing over your card, and keep your receipt. We came out to have a good time, not to argue over unexplained charges and be cursed at by staff. read more

Needs bar rescue stat! The bartender was really struggling today with best intentions. The manager greeted us and then asked if we were doing okay. Unfortunately, the bar is in need of a major cleaning, repairs and maybe some staff more interested in work than their phones. The counters were sticky, the furniture was filthy and the kitchen has been closed. Skip this bar until renovations. read more

Nothing more irritating than having to tip people who absolutely hate their job and make you feel it, I didn't choose your job. Go across the street for great service if you want to hang. read more

Great spot for a quick drink! My friend and I ordered the green tea shooters and they were solid. I also loved the ambiance of El Here. We were there towards 10PM so it definitely got a lot more crowded and our seats got taken away because they had to leave more room for people. The service was a little slow, but it makes sense for a very crowded Saturday night. Overall great vibes and music, and I would return again! read more

The bartender was rude AF!! I don't mind people not loving their job, this person absolutely despised it. Great body and super hot, maybe why they get to be mad at nothing all the time. Want drinks and ass, this is your place. Want minimal service, Not it, loving the venue fee (whatever that is!!) and a non cash adjustment fee hahahahaha! Wow! Super cool how you have to be an owl to see anything in here as well, surprised I wasn't charged a "you are an idiot for coming here" fee! read more

I reached out to the manager at el hefe about a section for my birthday. We agreed upon $400 with two bottles included. I paid an $83 deposit which is supposed to be included in the amount. I was unaware that they charge a gratuity fee when I showed up because I was not informed. During my time there, they gave up my section acting like I wasn't there anymore when all I had done was went to the dance floor knowing they still had my debit card and ID. They tried to make it up by adding an additional bottle. After they removed me from the place for falling over my friend's foot on accident, they tried to have me sign the receipt. I totally believe I was discriminated against because they tried saying they were watching me all night when I was not doing anything wrong. Furthermore, once the receipt was showed to me, a charge for $500 with taxes and gratuity was applied with no deposit to show for. I refused to sign the receipt and we left. The next day I reached out to the manager and asked for an itemized receipt showing what all I was being charged for and I never heard back. This place is very unprofessional and I would be careful doing business with them. read more

Came here on the Sunday before Labor Day. Although it was packed, we were able to quickly find a seat at the bar. The music was really good and definitely appealed to multiple crowds. I ordered a margarita and it was a really nice size for the price. We also ordered the chips with guac and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa was good. The guac was just okay, felt it needed more salt and lime. Overall a good experience. I was expecting less fast service considering it was a holiday weekend so I'm glad things moved swiftly. read more

El Hefe went through a recent remodel. However, it's basically the same place with a slight refresh of the Mexican theme decor. Riot Entertainment Group owns El Jefe, Riot House, and DB's Whiskey Row. They are Old Town Entertainment District tract clubs/bars like suburban tract housing. Basically the same music and same interior layout with a different coat of paint and theme. If the line is moving slow to get in at one of them, just go to the one of the others for the basic same nightlife experience. I hit the Scottsdale Old Town clubs regularly. El Hefe isn't a bad club. It's just a generic club. It's popular and usually packed on weekends. read more

We had the unique experience of sitting next to the DJ so fun!!!! Our server was constantly checking in and recommended so many great drinks. The margaritas are 10/10. Come here if you are looking for more of cantina party scene. The food overall was 3.5/5 read more

El Hefe - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

El Hefe is a nightclub that is in the bar District in downtown Scottsdale. I went for a night out, and it took forever to be able to get a drink from rude bartenders that if you do not tip them accordingly, expect to wait over an hour for your next drink. It's crowded as expected since it is a nightclub-bar. The music was good it has a little bit of a moldy smell but I imagine so many drinks have fallen on that floor and they don't keep it up because they don't have enough maintenance cleaning up floor so it's sticky. We ended up getting a table and I know normally you pay a lot more for a bottle you could buy at BevMo for a lot cheaper but it's ridiculous what they wanted for it. Parking is horrible over there make sure that you pay attention where you're going to park if you don't want to get towed I'm not blaming them on that because that's just City of Scottsdale not having enough parking in that area. Bathrooms can be kept a little bit better, wet floors with I hope it's water but it's probably bodily fluids and there's just a lady in there handing paper towels instead of cleaning earning a tip not just because she's handing your nap and she expects you to give her a tip. read more

Second time at El Hefe Scottsdale, this time with a group for my friend celebrating a birthday. We were met yet again with great service all around.

Loved this place, great first experience! Katie was amazing and is the reason me and my friends will be coming back!

I never went to El Hefe before it was remodeled, but it's recent makeover makes it one of the most welcoming of the nightclubs in Old Town Scottsdale's entertainment district. It looks and feels clean and modern, with giant screen TV's playing the latest games (some diversity in the games being broadcast might be a suggestion!).  Employees are friendly. It's difficult to know when this place gets super packed. I've been a couple of times now since they re-opened in October. If a big game is playing, it will fill up early. If not, El Hefe seems to be a later stop for most on the club circuit (a recent Saturday night saw Bottled Blond much busier than El Hefe earlier in the evening).  Didi, one of the bartenders, is amazing! She's originally from New York and is great at connecting with guests. She mixed a Paradiso margarita for me (Casamigos reposado, real pineapple syrup, house made sour mix, and fresh lime juice) for $12. It was nice that it was more on the sour than the sweet side.  One of the highlights of the drink list is the 32 ounce Loaded Cocktails paired with a matching split (Diet starts Monday! LOL). I've tried the Picante Paloma (Patron Reposado, ancho reyes chile liqueur, lime juice, paired with a Fever-Tree Pink Grapefruit soda) and Frank's Mule (Belvedere vodka, domaine de canton ginger liqueur, real ginger puree, fresh lemon juice, paired with a Fever-Tree Ginger beer). Both cost $15 and are good options if the bar is super busy and you don't want to be constantly ordering another round.  Happy Hour is Tuesday-Friday from 4-7. Select tacos, appetizers, and some drinks are on offer. Taco Tuesday is from 4-9. El Hefe does have a weekend brunch menu that looks interesting with a Mexican-focused menu. read more

My husband and I popped in here for Happy Hour on a Thursday evening and had a great experience! Our bartender/server was SO attentive and made sure that we were totally taken care of. Our waters were never empty, we got extra chips for our queso when we were low, and our drinks were delicious! I ordered their cucumber/jalapeno margarita and it was so yummy! The perfect amount of kick. I tried my husband's house margarita as well and it was DELISH for a "house"! Typically they're too sour for me but this was perfectly balanced - so I ended up getting one for my second drink. We also indulged in tacos. I loved the beef taco! It was only $2 on happy hour, yes please! My husband tried their beef, shrimp, and fried avocado tacos and loved them all. We will absolutely be back another time! It would be a great place to watch football in the Fall because they have loads of TVs and great sound! It is nice visiting the Scottsdale "row" when there aren't crazy lines everywhere and it isn't busy. I guess this might mean that i'm "old" now? :) read more
