Tell Your Friends: Scottsdale’s Swanky New Underground Lounge

Tell Your Friends, the latest brainchild of the Clive Collective, officially opened May 23.

Hidden beneath The Americano restaurant, this subterranean art deco lounge offers an opulent expedition into cocktails and culinary, inspired by the lavish jazz clubs and speakesies of the 20s and 30s. In turn, nightly live blues and jazz will set the tone.

A Feast for the Senses
The interior design, created by SD- based Basile Studios (Raised by Wolves, Born and Raised) takes inspiration from the art deco period (Gatsby) with plush maroon velvet drapes, mirrored walls and ceilings, dramatic floral arrangements, copper -toned disco balls, and a striking center bar whose accent lighting and lines stretch across the ceiling.

Chef Beau MacMillan (Cala and Food Network), has curated a menu of small bites that stretch from innovative bar snacks such as vodka cured salmon ‘pizza’ to Steak “foie” Poivre for two.

Local award winning beverage consultant and mixologist, Keifer Gilbert, crafted the cocktail menu. In true prohibition era style, there will be a dozen classics such as the Sazerac and Negroni, and the signatures draw inspiration from these; “Friends with Benefits,“ a beeswax cured old fashioned or the “Hops to the Beat”, a tequila-based drink that incorporates citra hops along with serrano peppers and pineapple.

A Night to Remember
Tell Your Friends delivers on its promise. It’s a place where you can enjoy luxurious food, classic craft cocktails and classy live entertainment, all in a stylish and opulent setting.
