Hurricane Bay

We used to love there, since you could find a fun mix of young a mature people. Too bad they added gogo dancers now it feels like a cheap strip club :(

My first time here was fun
Security was chill but firm.
girls are free but men pay cover, the later you go the cheaper the cover. the bar is huge and the ladies bathroom was awesome, hairspray and accessories galore and lots of stalls and smells good and is clean thanks to the awesome bathroom attendant.
they have go go dancers on small stages surrounding the corral you dance in and they sometimes jump to the floor for step by step group dance, like cupid shuffle or Dougie.
they have an area outside for smoking, covered from the rain.
cops and taxis are always close by and jack in the box is right there! awesome!
the also have tables and bottle service

Man… I can see why they call this place Heffer-​Bay! Good God! Well I did have a lot of fun and also paid a lot for drinks. I think this place would do a lot better if they got rid of the cover charge and had better drink specials. Come on guys you are not in Scottsdale. There is not reason to charge a cover, especially given the face the scenery is horrible and the ave age range is between 35 – 60. I felt as if they put the scraps of Blue Martini into a place like Chilie Bombers. I know where to suggest my grandmother to go to pick up on people her age. HORRIBLE!!!

Ghetto fabulous!

I enjoy this place. It is basically TWO clubs because there is a dance club AND a karaōke bar. Although the karaōke host has ZERO personality and isn’t the greatest host, it’s still a fun place because it’s small and not a lot of people so you get to sing your song. When the karaōke gets boring, you can go to the dance club and check that out. I don’t like that there is a cover ($ 8 last time I went) and I think that will ultimately hurt this place, but overall this is a fun club if you are in the area. Definitely not worth driving out of your way for unless you have friends going here. The crowd here is not the greatest, but hopefully they can work on that.

Been going to this place quite a few times simply because it’s the closest thing I know of to my location in Peoria (I guess all the fun is out to the East or South here) being a new person to Phoenix!
PROS:
Plenty Of Parking
Good Bartenders
Racially Diverse Crowd
Military Free On Saturdays
Close For Those On The West Side
Not Full Of The Pretentious Type (Scottsdale Anyone?)
Decent Size Club And Nice Set Up For A Phoenix Club (Typically Small Or Poor Setting)
CONS:
This Place Is Hit Or Miss Alot; Many Slow Nights Mixed In With A Few Good
The DJ’s Don’t Know How To Mix Correctly (Cut Out Of GOOD Songs Too Fast)
Crowd Tends To Lean Towards Older Women (No Young People On The West Side?)
So overall The Bay is the best looking, best sized, and has the best layout compared to the clubs I’ve been to so far in Phoenix (especially compared to Scottsdale which seems to be more hype than actually great). Scottsdale pretends to be Vegas but doesn’t warrant that given their extremely small places (SmashBOXX, Dollhouse) or horrid layout (Axis-​Radius which looks nice definitely but the dance areas are laid out completely wrong) compared to clubs I’ve been to elsewhere.
The unfortunate thing with The Bay is that it doesn’t draw the hype or the crowds like Scottsdale and Tempe I guess because of its location though it definitely deserves it over anything I’ve been to in Scottsdale (minus the DJ at this place)!

Not really my scene, but we went for a few friends’ birthday and got a cabana/​booth spot.
The Pros:
Our waitress was fast and courteous.
The music was, for the most part, very good.
The drinks were strong.
The cons:
The DJ kept talking about and to some girl he wanted to get with. Honestly, nobody gives a fuck.
I hate it when there is a person in the bathroom handing out paper towels. It doesn’t tell me that this place is high class if that is the attempt.
The cons have me giving this place a two star rating. If the DJ is really good, girls will go out of their way to talk to them. I don’t need someone to hand me a paper towel. I won’t go here or suggest this place as a place to go, but I will go if a friend is having an event here and invites me.

Best Mix of Music at any club I’ve ever been too. The DJ always has me dancing. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves here. Being a big girl, I felt comfortable being here and I saw a few more thick girls shaking their booties all around the floor. The single people, I see nothing wrong with this crowd of people. Just be safe. The staff are nice and they have a lot of security. Drinks are about $ 5 to $ 8, but they give you a good amount of alcohol in them. For the ladies, get in for free before 11pm. Guys have to pay. Good times to have at this place!

I haven’t been here since 2005, when it was dingy and ghetto. I took a trip back in time on Saturday, wow, pleasant surprise! It is definitely anti– Scottsdale, although the Valet price will make you think you are in Scottsdale lol ($ 7). I paid a $ 5 cover even though I’m female, but when I met up with my friends, I understood why. The remodel is beautiful. It’s not «fancy», but it’s nice. I support charging to get in, because it keeps a good cash flow to allow for enough quality staff, etc.
I will never know for sure, but i am pretty certain I was drugged there at least once before back in the day. I did not have fear of that during this visit in the least. I didn’t feel like I was hanging out with a bunch of riff– raff, just a bunch of people meeting up with their friends to dance, sing, and have a good time. I won’t be frequenting nearly as often as I did when I was 21, because I can’t keep up with that girl from the past, but I look forward to another visit soon. I had to laugh when I saw the same bartender from back in the day, and just one thing– this is AZ– there are no shortage of girls with flat abs, so maybe don’t have a beer tub girl who is wearing unfortunate fitting shorts…

WoW lots of negative reviews about this place. well its been 2yrs ago since I’ve been here. Don’t recall it being Ghetto, but than again People are what make estblishments ghetto. I’m going there tonight cause I was invited for a B-​day party. we got a cabana and a bottle, Sooo Ill post the results the following day! ‘Keepin my fingers crossed’ LoL
** UPDATE**
Well I have to admit i was expected to see these horrible stories that I have read from previous reviews, and I have to say that I was very impressed with the new set up that Hurricane bay has. My friend rented out a cabana there and it was nice, the waitress was SMOKING HOT and very nice, very playfull and gave us lots of attention. I wouldnt mind going again if it wasnt so far from me. The Karaōke room was small, but the people who sang were good and lots of interaction with those who sang. everyone seemed to be having fun. So i have to give this another star and 1-​up my rating, i was very impressed and had lots of fun with my date for the evening. We all have to experience it first before we can just follow along with any «bad/​negative’ reviews.
I hope this helps, if your in the area check it out

This place has made some serious improvements over the years! … renovations look great, but I’m very glad that my favorite parts of the staff have hung around! If you need a drink and wonder why there’s a line for Amber or Jeremy — it’s because they’re the best, and totally worth the short wait! Chances are they’ll still sling your drinks before anyone else! These 2 always have smiles and know everyone AND they know their cocktails.
Not your typical Scottsdale scene, but always some sort of special going on!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have discovered the anti-​Scottsdale! People are laid back and nice!
Pay your $ 8 to get in. It’s really steep if there’s not much action, but consider it an investment in having a good time. I was here on a Friday, and so I was fortunate to indulge in 50 cent well drinks. Beyond that, they had bud light lime and three olives bubblegum, so I was in a happy place!
Staff: Super friendly, and not pretentious. Even the bouncers were way nice, glad to see people having a good time instead of looking for trouble.
Ladies: Quite a variety. I noticed a lot of cougars, but overall I must say everything you could be looking for is here.
Guys: Not much of a variety, and the guys were a bit on the trashy side. *I* felt like I was overdressed, and I’m not even a fancy guy. They seem a bit ghetto here, but I guess that just makes me stand out more? I like that.
This place really seems like a laid-​back, no drama club. A place people can have fun and not be judged… well except for me. I get to judge; it’s a Unilocaler’s duty. :-p

So I found out last week that there is a 8 dollar cover for everyone on Saturday nights. But wait. the drinks are only 50 cents. The well drinks are less to be desired so I stuck to bottles. And for the first time in 20 times coming here I was not hung over the next morning. I think it is probably something they put in the ice. I would definitely keep an eye on your drinks or watch whoever buys them for you, know of a couple of people who thought they got drugged. Another thing is I am married so coming here is like watching the animals at the zoo. Good times.

I’m a karaōke Diva and have been to quite a few places for karaōke. I wound up here because my new housemate invited me, and it was ok. I wouldn’t have paid a cover to get in. Luckily I got there before the cover started (or perhaps it was the plunging neckline — I looked as good as I can look that night).
The karaōke hosts are a bit full of themselves and will in fact take an opportunity to steal your spotlight while you are singing. NOT OK guys — I do just fine on my own. If I did not ask you to sing harmony then put the mic down until it’s your turn. And stop telling everyone to drink more — you don’t have to make it so obvious that you get paid a percentage of the bar tab. I don’t drink alcohol — diet coke with cherries on top because I like to put on a show — please and thank you. Even the most killer drink specials don’t make a difference to me. In fact, they make the drunks stupider even more quickly. Being sober and the designated driver, this sometimes kills my good time.
The song selection is on a touch screen and not well organized. Trying to find a standard song was near impossible without help, and the help I got was from another singer, not the folks running the thing. I’d rather deal with a human than a machine fellas. Stop checking your prettyboy looks in the mirror and connect with your singers outside of when they’re onstage. The machine does save your song choices from prior evenings and has them on a quick list, so if you sing the same songs every week, it does make it easier.
I had to thread through the club side to go out to the smoking patio. Music was ok though the crowd didn’t seem to be too enthusiastic. Folks were friendly enough, but I’ve experienced better karaōke, better atmosphere, and better crowds in several other places not too far away.
Going back tonight because the roommate and his friends like the place. Update to follow.

Last night, I had the realization that I am a true Scottsdale girl and I’m quite alright living in my Scottsdale nightlife bubble.
Here are some differences I noted:
Scottsdale: If you look good and are female, you get in for free and probably drink for free.
Hurricane Bay: If you look good and are female, thug looking dudes will stand outside of your car making sex faces, causing you to make your male friend come and get you for fear of what happens if you open that door and walk out there alone. Then you pay $ 10 to get into a not so hoppin Halloween party. Guys hump your ass without asking and without buying you a drink first.
Dress code for males in Scottsdale: Nice jeans, button down shirt, shaved or carefully groomed, and they usually smell like nice cologne.
Hurricane Bay: wife beater and jeans that haven’t been washed in weeks. Hair that says I just got out of jail and tats to match. Standard cologne called BO.
Drinks are strong but their well vodka has to be a step above Gordon’s.
Also, I think there may be dealers right outside selling rohypnol. Needless to say it is a creeper’s paradise.
I’ll stick with Blue, thank you!

The only good thing about this bar is the hot bartenders.
The drinks are overpriced. There are TONS of dudes there which as a girl wouldn’t normally bother me but they are all ugly idiots. Most of the people in here think they are gangster but I am pretty sure they all live in that area.
The first time I went there I told dude no in the parking lot and he pulled a gun on me… really? I don’t see how that would work out for you buy I burst out laughing and another ugly dude got in his face. The best part of the night was watching them fight with each other.
More fun than this bar would be drinking a 40 in a dark alley somewhere.

After some time, I have to downgrade Hurricane Bay to one star. Philip H is spot-​on in this review, there’s just too many dudes. I can’t fathom how this ‘club’ can get so packed on Wednesdays and the weekends because it just flat-​out sucks.
A dollar cover would be too much to get in. And they should be paying you to drink there. I’d check out O2 lounge instead further to the West.

I guess there is a cover charge after a certain time for girls… whomp whomp! But it’s not too bad and I would pay it.
So…I went here again last night and I am just out of words. This place used to be filled with young people, but compared to the last time I went here (like 2 weeks ago), the crowd tonight was completely packed with ummm… cougars. Seriously, you had more women there who were 40 and above… up to like a senior citizen who was dressed in her ballgown. Then you had just a few wondering senior citizen men. I just don’t know what happened. I must admit that it was very entertaining to watch the crowd. I always people watch and it gives me the greatest entertainment… for free!
There are some decent people there. My friend and I did meet a group of guys and for the most part they were pretty decent. I’d go again in hopes that this place would turn back to how it used to be… filled with a younger crowd, but I’d watch them cougars for some good laughs.

So they no longer serve Captain or any type of «highend» drink for the $ 2 u call it specials. It is now $ 2 Well drinks.
The well drinks are still a decent heavy pour but your taste buds tell you go back to the Captain.
#Word of advice for the ladies, watch your yourselves, watch your drinks and watch out for who buys you drinks. #

This place charges a cover charge and sometimes has a line to get in… are you serious? Hurricane Bay is like biting into a jelly doughnut without any jelly. You’re sitting there in line thinking this place must be awesome it has a line and then your paying your admission fee thinking well if they charge me to even step in here it must be one fantastic place. then bam your in and oh what a let down all you see is either a group of people with serious issues having an 8 way orgy in the corner (no its not hot its what real bi-​sexuals and just dont give a crap exuals look like not that I have a problem with that I just dont want to stare at it) or a 50 something single lady dancing with a 21 year old dude.
WHERE IS THE JELLY?
I am not sure when Hurricane bay turned into an alternative life styles + older folks spliced dance club but paying to get in here is a joke.
