Living Room

Maddy and the team did an anamazing job. Service and drinks were excellent.

I've been to 2 locations. Both were perfect for a relaxing lounge atmosphere with a variety of food and beverage options depending on your mood

Came down from my room around 7pm to grab a quick drink before meeting friends for dinner. The bartenders were cheerful and hard working, which I can appreciate. It wasn’t super packed so thought it was going to be too hectic. However they did take a little bit longer to make my drink than expected. But overall. I really nice looking bar and I could see myself back here for sure.

Amazing ambience, the bartender Sydney is very nice and sweet. The food was quick and fantastic. Just an FYI, this was a Monday night.

Depends on the doorman. Some are extremely racist if you're not white, Scottsdale bred. They'll say only guests can come in for music.

$11 minimum for a can of beer, and don't forget the tip of course 🙄. It's Arizona, don't price your drinks as if it were NYC. We also got moved aside at the door while they let some lighter-skinned people through. Once I mentioned who we were guests of their attitude changed quickly. I used to like this place but I hope to never return now.

Friday evening drinks after a long travel day at The Living Room was great! The live music, drinks and overall vibe actually made us want to stay in the hotel during our stay for nightlife (something we rarely do on trips since the hotel nightlife scene is usually lacking).

Saturday night, after dinner at Sushi Roku (which connects to the Living Room), we exited the restaurant to a velvet rope stanchion with no attendant. We stood there for a few seconds and then tried to step over the stanchion because it wasn’t apparent we had another way into the Living Room and we didn’t want to unclip it. As we were stepping over, we loudly heard a “HEY! STOP!” coming from a man in a suit walking from a distance away, who we learned was the attendant letting people into the Living Room. He told us quite baldly that only guests were allowed in. We told him we were staying at The W and he then asked “You got room keys?”. We presented our room keys and he then opened the velvet rope. I have no issue with verifying guest access, but if an area needs to be granted access, the attendant needs to be posted at the ropes at all times. He didn’t apologize for confronting us, and overall the entire interaction, as short as it was, was a turn off. When we entered the Living Room, a large number of seats were marked as “RESERVED” via signs on the tables but were unoccupied, leaving no seating as the bar was full. I don’t disagree with the model of reserving space in a bar, especially for VIP/VIC’s or large groups, but I wouldn’t have ALL the non-bar too seating marked as reserved. True lounge seating should be “first come, first serve” with some areas in the more private corners reserved for groups/VIP’s. Overall, I feel the operations of the Living Room should be dialed in to create a more enjoyable customer experience, especially as part of a W Hotel which caters to the more spirited, up-scale guests. I will choose different night life venues next time in Scottsdale.
