I went there on one of their Carnaval Latino nights. Most of the guys were in their 20s. Lots of hip-hop music. I think the vodka was watered down because I didn't get any buzz at all (and I don't drink often). Parking is horrible here, so arrive early. Club Sarape is next door, and is also Latin, but for more butch cowboy types. If the parking were more plentiful and safer, I would probably go here more often, but drink beforehand.

Nice place on 5th Ave in Scottsdale. Lots of parking, especially early in the night. Get there before 1045pm to avoid the cover charge, but currently it's only $3 on Saturday nights. The place gets very busy after 1130pm and a line may form outside. Dance music in 2 different rooms, but not my taste. Drinks about $5 and $6. Nice looking younger guys in good shape, for the most part.

This is a nice place, and people seemed somewhat friendly. But on a Saturday night at 1130pm, there weren't that many people there. Call drinks were only $6 and they give you a chip for a free drink later on. Where are the people? It's hard to find as you have to walk through a tiny shopping center towards the back, where there's a side door to the bar. Lots of parking. Wish it were busier.

Decor-wise, this is my favorite place in the Phoenix area. It's very pretty inside and out. There's no cover charge earlier in the night (maybe it's before 11pm?). But you need to be there well before then to get parking. There's another night club nearby, and the same small parking lot is shared by both clubs. I've never met anybody there. I wouldn't say the people are unfriendly, but they're not outgoing either. The martinis are $8 and $9. I was there on a Saturday night at 11pm and there weren't many people there, strangely enough.
