Coming from Los Angeles we can be real snobs with this subject as we have experienced great theater at places like Disneyland, Upright Citizens Brigade Improve theater and even The Hollywood Bourbon Rooms interactive production of Rock of Ages (sadly ended during COVID). It is wonderful to see this group has sustained for so long and many people rave about it. I even had a client in Los Angeles visiting from AZ tell me he had heard great things about this company, albeit not experienced it before. The show we saw was hosted at Maggiano's Italian Restaurant. The food is in alignment with the restaurant; oversized portions served family style with a limited set menu. That being said, they were able to accommodate my vegan husband and other guests at my table that are gluten free. The theater production takes place before and during your dinner in one of the private rooms at the restaurant. Everyone gets a character name tag so be prepared to be pulled up to participate. It's all a part of the fun. The room hosted about 20 diners/attendees making it an intimate experience. Perfect for all ages and laughs were shared all around. I highly recommend to any local or out of towner to spice up your dinner with this lively and colorful experience.

I still enjoyed my time each time even though we were probably the youngest as someone got my husband and I tickets here for my birthday the past two years. The music was fantastic and we saw the variety show and the Grand Finale show and I enjoyed seeing multiple genres of music. The lead singers and musicians were phenomenal, and I absolutely loved the costume changes. The outfit changes really held my attention and was a great part of the show. The food, however, was just okay. I wouldn't come here for the food alone, but rather for the overall experience and to do something different. The meal included vegetables, potatoes, mashed potatoes, spinach cheese ravioli, chicken Parmesan, pulled pork dish, and a pineapple fish dish. This was the same food both times we went, so I'm not sure if they ever change it, I wish they did for a change. The pulled pork and cheese ravioli were good, but I wasn't a fan of the other dishes. The chicken Parmesan was probably the worst I've had as it wasn't at all what I expected from a traditional chicken parm. Dessert is a slice of chocolate cake that's already at your table when you arrive. I did think it was a nice touch that they pass out foil before the show ends so you can take it home and not waste it. The recommended tip listed on a sign at the table is $5 per person, so in addition to your ticket price, expect to pay at least that much extra. Drinks are also not included, so that's another added cost. Overall, this is a great experience, more so for 50+ and would make a fun gift, especially for a couple looking to do something different. I wish they had a family friendly show where it encouraged families with kids as I could see my kids who love music at 2 and 4 enjoying the show and dancing! I sat about in the middle of the theater and had a good view of everything. I really think most seats will be just fine!

    My review is specifically for the upstairs event space…read more My wife and I attended **The Upsidedown Rave**, inspired by *Stranger Things*. We even dressed up a bit to match the vibe, and I have to give credit where it's due--the DJ was bringing nothing but heaters all night. The music was easily the highlight. The bar, on the other hand, was pretty underwhelming. My wife ordered a Tequila Sunrise that was unfortunately awful, while I played it safe with a bottled Coors. The drink selection felt limited, and the bartenders seemed fairly inexperienced. The turnout was respectable, and there was good energy throughout the night. That said, something about the overall atmosphere felt...off. Maybe Hollywood has completely skewed my expectations of what a rave is supposed to feel like, or maybe it was simply the smaller venue. Either way, I walked away expecting just a little more. Even so, the night accomplished one important thing: it convinced my wife that she'd like to go to more raves. I'd call that a win.

    I'm giving Sunbar 5 stars because its overall rating of 3 stars is far too low. Sunbar is one of…read morethe few remaining places in DT Tempe where you can go to enjoy some great EDM DJs, have drinks, and dance!! If you understand that Sunbar shines for those reasons, you get it. I don't want to lose this place too -- after Shady Park had to close for BS reasons and most recently DarkStar has shut down. When the weather is nice, I personally prefer the outdoor patio stage over the larger indoor club area upstairs. The smaller patio just has a real cool vibe. I've been there for Sunday daytime brunch parties and the late night shows ending at 2am. Both are fun. Service is generally just okay, the bartenders aren't overly friendly but they aren't mean either. The security people can be a little rude depending on which ones you're interacting with. Again, not bad, I just know there are other places in the valley with friendlier staff. For a real treat, go when they have Sunday brunch bottles & beats-- catch Nathan Reeser & Andrew Hoffman making it dance-y.

The theatrics, horses, jousting, costumes, and overall atmosphere made it such a fun experience. I even had a dark pink carnation thrown at me from the red knight which was a cute surprise. The food was okay but honestly you cant come here expecting a 5 star meal, you come for the entertainment and experience. We started with Texas toast and tomato soup followed by corn, half a potato, and chicken. Then we got cake and an eclair for dessert. We did get plastic forks for the cake but everything else you eat with your hands like a true medieval barbarian! Our server was phenomenal! You can also order and pay for other drinks/alcohol drinks before being seated and I got a strawberry slush with whip cream and it was delicious. Got a pretty souvenir cup too. And then you can order alcohol drinks at your seats ad well. I would personally choose this over the Renaissance faire. You can actually sit back and relax and get fed while you watch. My boyfriend and I had such a great time. I definitely recommend it for a fun date night.

The food was great, loved the show and we cheered for our knight so much we had sore throats. The service was great, server came by often delivering food, drink or asking if we needed anything. There is no bad seat in the arena so buy the cheap ticket just to have the experience. You show up to this huge castle and enter through giant doors. They have many working the front of the house so check in goes quickly and then we walked into the large area where you can buy drinks and various souvenirs for children or adults. We had assigned seats so it was very nice not having to rush in to find a seat and there is room between the row below you and above you so much that the server can walk between us. No head obstructs your view which is great for us shorter people. We were served drinks first, then bread and soup, next up was 1/2 a chicken that was moist and flavorful. Next came the corn and potato wedge that were also nicely flavored. Lastly was dessert and because we upgraded we got a second dessert of cake. If you are a light eater, they will give you a to go box. There is a wipe for your hands before you dig in eating with your hands and then a hot towel is brought after dinner. I would definitely recommend and go back again.

We were 15 min early so we could order food & drinks. Seats were clean and in great shape. We ordered a pretzel & White cheddar/glazed and confused popcorn & two root beers. Our order came so fast. The pretzel was yummy severed w/ queso dip. The popcorn was in a huge bowl. It would feed a family! You can pick 2 flavors and get a refill for free and take home. It was very tasty. It comes with a bowl on top so you can split it during the movie which is nice, Bathrooms were clean. Overall great experience. We will keep it in mind for our next movie. You can order all kinds of food and drinks. There is an area outside to hang out and watch sports games. Inside lobby is a bar atmosphere with places to hangout. They even have deserts and gelato to make your drinks super yummy. You can have gelato while watching your movie too. We will be back!

We both ordered the Chipolet Chicken sandwich he wanted regualar fries and I upgraded for the southwest fries. He had the fried chicken and I had the grilled. People that came to the theater after us were being served their order before us. It took almost 30 minutes before our order arrived.Both fries were cold and I didn't get my southwest fries. The server said he would go get them for me. I waited almost 10 minutes and got another server and after another 20 minutes the southwest fries arrived. The cheese was stone cold. I barely touuched them and the sandwhich had chicken on one side and no meet on the other side. After the movie, I requested to see the manager. The manager came and instead of apologizing he was combative. Stating to me that the southwest fries were not cold because he plated them . Saying to me " what do you want me to do?" Also stating that he is glad they have cameras, because he wants to get to the bottom of this. But never just apologizing. I informed him how my sandwhich had no chicken on 1/2 of it and he said that is the way they measure it. It was gross the way I was treated and I was reasonible. I told him I have no problem paying for my sons dinner and both drinks, but not mine. He accommodated me but was not apologetic. I have been going for years to this theater and it seems that the food has been inconsistant. The manager seemed more like he didn't care. I thought I would let you know. You go to have a good night. You indulge by ordering food to enjoy the whole experience. I shouldn't have rebuttals when I am telling him (and on camera), what I received as a customer.
