The details: If you've ever been to Scottsdale "vortex" or Scottsdale clubs then you know you'll more than likely have to wait in line at any club you want to go to, especially if it's after 10pm. The Side Door Experience allows you the opportunity to bypass lines, walk right in and feel like a TRUE VIP!! GREAT communication from start to finish, best options, and at the hottest clubs and places to be seen! My girlfriend from South Carolina wanted to do her Bachelorette party in Scottsdale. Since I hadn't been out in FOREVER, when I saw Tau's new side door experience I reached out to learn the details and see if it would make this an experience to remember.. and it was! We met up at Cala, were given complimentary drinks.. the new Becky Personality juice was actually super good!! Like a fun seltzer that I didn't mind drinking! We got to hop around all the Scottsdale clubs with free shots at every venue! One quick handshake and a check of our IDs and we walked right in! It was like a new party every time with beautiful bartenders, get your heart rate pumping music, DJs throwing down and getting everyone dancing, and an experience from another world. It's like Vegas with a curfew! Every time we got to skip the line and walk right in! Truly felt VIP and helped us have a fun night vs spending half the time in lines. What I thought was really cool, was the fact that Tau himself was our personal concierge! He takes great pride in making sure everyone is having a good time! You can opt for a solo tour or join up with other bachelor/Bachelorette groups to make it more fun! So depending on your group -you don't have to do it alone! We did have one group join us for a bit, but we still got to do our own thing! All in all, my girlfriend had the best Bachelorette and didn't have to wait for lines and have a good time. Thank you so much Tau!! I know it took me a minute to write this review - busy girl over here, but like all my reviews, great experiences deserved to be shared!

We had a nice table set up outside between the bar and big screen tv/stage area. There were sports on so that was cool to be near the TV. They have Giant Connect 4 and Cornhole which the kids, as well as adults enjoyed playing. It was perfect for our group. Our server was Allyson and she was the best- upbeat, attentive, genuinely nice. She took great care of us; checking on us and she was so accommodating. We had mainly drinks but did order some food. They have a fun menu with catchy phrases for sections such as "Opening Acts" and "Still Fittin' in Jeans". Cool food names like, "Sticky Fingers" for one of their burgers with bbq sauce. The "Cluck Around & Find Out" Chicken Strips were delicious- great panko breading. Burgers were a hit. Later they had live music, a guy playing guitar. He was entertaining, had a good voice and took requests. I can't comment on any other part of the place since we spent all our time outside. It was getting a lot more crowded when we left by 8pm. Great time in Scottsdale on a Friday Evening!

I Ubered but like most of Old Town Scottsdale, there's plenty of free street parking. You may need to circle around during peak hours, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (3/5): Pour Decisions is an open air bar, and a pretty expansive one at that. Beyond the open-air area, there's also a spacious patio and a rooftop. I love a good rooftop. With it being Phoenix, when the weather cooperates of course. The aesthetic of the bar was too "Instagram culture" for me with neon witty quotes and such, but some people are into that. Service (2.5/5): It took us about 10 minutes for the bartender to greet us while we were sitting at the bar. It got to the point where we were wondering if anyone was working. Luckily, after a slow start, service was pretty decent after that. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet on this visit. Drinks (3/5): The menu matches the vibe. The cocktail list has some pretty fun options, but of the overly sweet variety that lacks sophistication. I couldn't help but order a cocktail that was served in a cowboy boot-shaped glass with a popsicle in it. Fun for the novelty of it but it was a mediocre drink. While I am being a little critical, Pour Decisions has its purpose. If you're looking for a spot to hang out in a big group, Pour Decisions is solid given how large of a space it is.

Update February 2022…read more Still a great place for jazz on Thursday nights. Vaccine card required for entry and masks should be worn except when you're at your table. This is an older crowd and they lost someone very special in the community to Covid. They're just trying to do their best, have everyone stay healthy and keep the music going...so don't pay attention to the one bad review. This place is a hidden gem and the music will lift your spirits. ************************** Previous Review 2017 One of the best kept secrets in the Valley for hearing high-quality live Jazz every Thursday night for a $5.00 donation. First and foremost, don't get confused by the term "Coffeehouse." This is a small venue with a stage that is a part of a church. They do serve coffee and some snacks to buy, but think styrofoam cups, not espresso machine and latte art. (Snacks and coffee service closes after the break.) Secondly, it's an older crowd. Most people are in their 60's or 70's because that's the age group that grew up with jazz. A lot of people will leave before the second act but they are very appreciative of the music when they are there. This venue was set up as a place to preserve jazz music and you'll see the same quality of performers as you would at The Nash. I recently saw a newer group The Ira Hill Quartet that were amazing. Ira Hill I've listened to Ira Hill's CD 100 times since I got it two weeks ago for $10 at the show. I've also heard Holly Pyle sing here and Tony Vacca plays sax fairly often. Highly recommended. There are round tables to sit at and some chairs set up in the back. Take the opportunity to speak to some of the older people at the tables. They'll appreciate the attention and you'll enjoy getting to know a little about them. Plenty of free parking in the lot next to the church.

The studio, formerly called "Art of Dance", is too small for serious ballroom dancing but is OK for…read moresmall group lessons and privates. Most of the time the group lessons have few people because there is very high turnover of dance students. People soon learn that the lessons aren't a good value compared to other studios in the Phoenix area so they eventually leave. Perhaps the low participation is a mixed blessing because the studio wouldn't be able to accomodate large classes. John McAttee, the owner and instructor, is a competant dance instructor but he is overly pedantic and often teaches quirky styles that aren't usable in local dance venues. He can be somewhat insulting to students and sometimes has a tough time articulating what he wants students to do. His abrasive personality is a turn off for many people so they often tire of him and go somewhere else for dance lessons. Adult ballet are the best lessons at that studio, but if the class has more than about 5 students be ready to balance yourself on flimsy homemade pvc pipes that are rigged as temporary barres. Avoid the dance parties because you might be the only one that shows up. Sometimes I was the only one there and yet John still charged me $5! So, you should expect to pay whether there is a party or not. The fact is there are several places in town that have excellent dance parties so why bother with this one? Read my other reviews to see where some good ballroom parties are. It costs $10 for a 45 minute group lesson for people who walk in. Part of the lesson will be used to present a sales job to convince customers to buy into long term contracts. They aren't called "contracts" however -- you buy groups of lessons on cards. As motivation the cards are "discounted" so that lessons cost about $4.50. Even at $4.50 the lessons are significantly more expensive than most studios in town if you consider how much you pay per hour of lesson. Buying cards is a scam, not a "discount"! You will be told that these lesson cards are the lowest prices in town but that's simply not true. Many of the studios in the Phoenix area offer a 90 minute group lesson and a 2 hour dance party for $7 - and all of these studios allow you to pay at the door instead of being required to buy into long term lesson deals, so there are no long term commitments. Many dance studios in the Valley have higher quality instruction and more advanced students to dance with. If you decide you want to cancel lessons you will quickly find out that you cannot get a refund for the lessons you haven't used on the cards. Be sure to read the refund policy which says there are no refunds. There are many reasons you might want to quit classes besides the abrasive personality of the instructor. Class schedules change often because most classes fail to attract enough people. He often cancels classes on the calendar and then announces new classes to convince newcomers to buy more dance cards. Customers can get burned when they buy cards for a specific lesson on a specific day only to find out that it has been cancelled. These people are out the money because the studio won't refund it. Buying lesson cards is a risky investment because it's unlikely this business will last long -- and the no refund policy is eventually going to get the studio in trouble as students sue for fraud. Selling dance lessons this way is a ripoff that ruins the reputations the dance industry. One of the reasons other studios are more popular is because they no longer require long term contracts. "Dancing! Arizona" isn't used just as a dance studio. Other weird activities take place there such as spiritual readings, séances, same sex political discussions, movie screenings, and piano lessons.
