    I love this place! Good food, drinks, music and vibes. Have dinner at Americano and then go down here for drinks and live music, or enjoy dinner from upstairs during your visit!

    Overall it was a good experience. Great decor and setting. Feels unique for Scottsdale. Felt like a big city speakeasy. Cocktails were made very well. Only negative for me was the specialty cocktail menu was trying just a little too hard. Every drink had to have something totally unique as opposed to just having some classics with a little twist. Also disappointed that they didn't know how to or have the ingredients to make a Kir Royale. It's not an obscure drink.

    Dear Nathan, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the decor, ambiance, and well-crafted cocktails—it means a lot to hear it gave you that big-city speakeasy feel. We appreciate your feedback on the cocktail menu and will share it with our team as we continue to refine our offerings. We also hear you on the Kir Royale and will take that into consideration. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience! Warm regards, The TYF Team

    Wonderful experience except for the hostess acting like I just killed her dog for showing up with 6 people instead of 3 for my 10:45pm reservation. Geez I’m sorry! I’m so sorry for bringing a fun group of girls to your lounge and buying drinks.

    Great times! Loved that the band played some modern music with a jazzy touch. I wished they had more vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, we will be going back!

    This place is very pretty, it’s fun, and the live music is PERFECT. The food menu is overpriced and boring- the cocktails are tasty but overpriced and lots of ice. The service was bare minimum, our waiter was kind and funny but food was late, and forgotten. I personally wouldn’t return but mixed reviews from our group.

    We visited tell your friends prior to our reservation at the Americano. We own a private speakeasy in another town, so we always love checking out similar venues. We were very impressed with tell your friends. The 50s glam decor was stunning. Our server was very attentive and welcoming. And the cocktails were amazing. We tried several. But my favorite was the flapper fizz! Highly recommend this place!

    Dear Kelly, Thank you for your kind words and for visiting Tell Your Friends! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the 50s glam decor, attentive service, and amazing cocktails—especially the Flapper Fizz! It’s always a pleasure to welcome fellow speakeasy enthusiasts, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, The TYF Team
