Suede

Quite frankly, this place scares me. Always crowded with security and I always got pushed and shoved. Not my kind of club. Glad this place is closing.

This place, and Scottsdale as a whole, has really changed for the worst. Lots of ghetto attire and a crowd that screams be ready for a fight! :/​what happened to the Scottsdale of old that was trying to keep up with LA?

This night club use to have a way classier crowd. They must of switched promotors.
Now it’s just ghetto. Love the music they play and all but the crowd is awful. There is not once where I have gone there where there wasn’t a fight or a shooting of some sort. I recently gone there on New years eve, my friends and i decided to stop by. One of the waitresses there was awfully rude. In fact she was cussing at my friend because my friend was in her way, but if you go to this club you would know that it’s rediculously crowded and you can barely walk. So I asked the waitress what was wrong and she swung her hand out and punched me. I fell over and slipped. So disrespectful. My friend and i got kicked out all because we wanted to know what the problem was. Horrible. that was rude and disrespectful of and employee to treat their customers this way. Bad business.

Came here for happy hour just before heading over to Axis Radius across the street and had a pleasant experience! The bartender was very handsome and made some great drinks for me [: the ambiance is really trendy and I was very comfortable so it absolutely deserves to be called a lounge. The restrooms are pretty small (3 stalls I believe?) so this place wouldn’t work out well with large crowds of females that are drunk. The outside patio is really nice and they have VIP seating both indoors and outdoors. There is no cover charge if you come here before 10:30 or so (I’m not exactly sure what the cut-​off time is). After dancing at Axis Radius for a couple hours I ended up coming back to Suede because they had better music (sad right?) and was disappointed to find that I now had to pay $ 10 to get in :/​I’m not used to having to pay cover at any bars or clubs so that was pretty upsetting. After dancing to a few songs my friend and I decided to call it a night but I would definitely return to Suede. I love the ambiance, the crowd, and the music!

OK this place is good during the week and early on the weekends
Late on weekends it kinda really sucks.
too many, too little space.

Terrible.
I remember when Scottsdale Clubs were a bit classy and at a minimum had a dress code. We went to Suede last night for a bachelorette party. When did it become appropriate to wear baggy jeans, and side ways caps? This club was jam packed, and seriously a fire escapae hazzard to say the least.
The highlight of the night was the boucers tossing a chick who fought with her Pimp boyfriend while he continued to swagger back into the bar.
Is this what the economy has driven us to?

Not really a fan of nightclubs and lounges. I guess I don’t go enough to know the rules because us girls got in for free, but I felt bad that the 3 guys that came with us had to pay ten bucks to get in with us!
The place was definitlely cool inside, lotsa places to sit (not sure if it cost extra). I thought the drinks were decent, definitely more on the strong side, but I’m not sure how much they cost since I didn’t have to pay that night. I was dd, so needless to say, I didn’t get nearly as drunk as my friends, who seemed to have a lot more fun! I’m not into getting hit on when I go out with friends, so the losers that did were all really douchey and/​or drunk, one of whom I even submitted a picture to
. There were lots of them that night.
I think overall it can be a fun place if you get drunk enough, but if you’re more of a low key dive bar type of girl like me, it’s prob not your scene either

Crowded, funsies and good music! Me likey!

It takes a lot to impress a girl like me. And unfortunately what Suede had wasn’t good enough!
My cousin was in town and I wanted to show her a good time in Scottsdale (Hey, sometimes you can!). This obviously was not the place to come on a Saturday night. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it was nice. Good music, ok crowd, places to sit… But it may have been more chill if it hadn’t been for the moment I had walked in the door that some guys weren’t scrambling over to buy me and the cuz a «drink». I love the confirmations from time to time that I’m attractive but give a girl at least a few minutes to get settled in the club, damn!
Plus little to no one was dancing, the drinks were overpriced and watered down, and to top it all off, there wasn’t enough attractive men to gawk at to keep my attention long enough to stay. I spent a good time apologizing to my cousin for this blunder too, she still loves me but suggest we only go out back home in SF.
Seriously, spent like 30 minutes here. And in my opinion that was just way too long.

It always cracks me up going out in Scottsdale.& just when I say to myself to just say no… One of my friends drags me out… I’ve been here a few times. Consistently it’s the same scene of Scottsdale junk. Creepy dudes playing grab ass if your just trying to walk through the place. Or bartenders with inconsistent drink charges. The place is always overcrowded. I mean the dudes outside are there to monitor how one looks & whether one is worthy to enter, right?! How about counting how many peeps you allow in. We never stay here too long… Music is good… Grey goose tastes the same at another place where there’s actual room
to move. Without some strange Affliction wearing tools hands on me…

I ordered a mixed drink. Bartender grabs a glass, fills it ¾ of the way with ice, pours in alcohol and soda just until the ice starts to float, and then grabs the ice scooper and adds MORE ICE TO MY GLASS.
This place blows.

Left a few messages for management to «discuss my visit.» Have yet to hear back from them. Still holding onto the receipt w/​the bartender’s name and transaction # in case someone ever calls. I wonder if they’re just too busy fielding calls about said bartender or they really just don’t give a crap.
Maybe I should just make a public service announcement and put the shady a** bartender’s name on here!?!

I don’t really know what to say. I’m not really a club kind of guy but being from LA the club scene always seems a big deal and its always such a scene. Its always a hassle to go out and you have to be on the lists and even then you’re waiting in line for what seems like years. Anyway, Suede felt like a toned down version of an LA club. It is still a scene but Scottsdale style. Lines weren’t much to speak of and it didn’t really have the club atmosphere I’m used to. It felt more like bar meets club. Yes there was loud music and people are able to buy tables but it is just missing a mystique of the club feel. I guess it didn’t have the exclusivity that clubs in LA make you feel like they have… if that makes sense.

I thought Suede was alright.
When we arrived at 10:30, it was pretty sparse… that’s mainly why we went here first. The drinks weren’t too expensive, and the bar service was really friendly.
I loved the atmosphere… this place would be really great to take a date. There are little sitting areas off in the corner, and also high tables throughout the space where you can stand and put your drink down and chat. The dancing pole in the corner was fun… I didn’t try it but some girls did, and it added a fun and sexy mood to the place. There was red lighting, and it wasn’t pitch black, which was nice.
The only reason why my friends and I left, was because it was a serious Sausage Fest. We actually wondered if it was a Gay night at Suede. The ratio of men to women was 20:1.
Also, the DJ was playing music a little too loud for a bar. My friend and I were screaming over the music.
The outside patio is nice, and its sort of romantic as well.
Bring your date here, but otherwise, Suede is just okay.

I really like the atmosphere of Suede. On New Year’s Eve I was suckered into that three club pass for Suede, Myst and Axis/​Radius. I would have been perfectly happy spending all night at Suede. I think that place is laid back and high energy, depending on what you want to do. You can dance or you can lounge. The bartender gave my friends and me a free shot, which was awesome.
I’ll def go back when I get the chance.

Suede is one of my favorite places to go if want a mixture of lively and quite. Suede atmosphere is casual but still trendy which is what I enjoy more then other places. You can attend suede in a t-​shirt and shorts or with something nicer. Small and cozy Suede can provide a some intimate conversation areas but if you head inside there will def be some booty shaking on the dance floor. Some of the negatives is the dance floor is not really established so most of the time it blocks your entrance and exit from the rest rooms but most people don’t have a problem sliding through. Overall i would highly recommend suede to someone on a date or looking for a great time.

My husband and I ventured to Suede Saturday evening after dinner with Kristin S., Ashley A., their husbands, and another couple. I had so much fun… so much in fact that I remember leaving Suede and walking to the car, but don’t remember actually getting into the car or getting home :)
Suede is across the street from Axis-​Radius and has a great outdoor patio area. Getting in was a bit disorganized… people were just crowded around with no clear line which was a little annoying especially since we were all ready to get inside, get drinks, listen to music and hang out. There is no cover for ladies and it’s $ 10 for guys. There are two bars inside which is a nice touch and service at the bar was incredibly quick each time I went up there. The music is great and there were tons of songs played that I love and got us dancing… unfortunately they only played the first part of each song and then changed it mid-​song to the next… very annoying after awhile. Drinks were reasonably priced as a rum and coke was $ 7 and domestic beer bottles were $ 4.
Of course, as it is in Scottsdale, the people watching is awesome especially on the patio. I will definitely return to Suede.

Better than Axis and Myst combined (rating wise), however, still too snobby and pretentious for my taste. I’ve had fun there a couple of nights but most of the time it’s so crowded you can hardly move. It’s a narrow club, very small, you really have to squeeze yourself through the crowd, and dancing is almost impossible at this size.
I’ll give it three stars because I might have had a couple of good nights there, but I’ll probably never go again.

I have never sweat so much as I have when I go to the dance floor at Suede. Everyone is literally on top of each other and usually too drunk to notice, so if youre not in that frame of mind yet, I recommend that you head out to the patio and start shooting whatever «that guy» is buying.
Suedes got a cool atmosphere inside and out, especially if you can go on a night where you can actually see whats what, and has great food if you can get in before the masses take over. They play hip hop after 11 on the weekends, theres cover for guys and not girls, and a dresscode as well. Drinks are pricey but average for Scottsdale, watch out for doubles of Grey Goose.
Standard Scottsdale bar… Good times.

I’m not even close to considering myself a «club» type of guy, so my classifications for those sorts of places usually fall under ‘tolerable” to «less tolerable.» Suede is definitely «less tolerable» than most to me.
Drinks are expensive, but I expected that. The vibe is uptight and bordered on aggressive when I was there, and you’ll see plenty of Hummers parked outside (take what you will from that. Though, in fairness, the same parking areas are used for Suede, Axis, and PCL). The dudes with orange-​glo tans and cheezy facial hair could’ve been a one-​night only appearance, but somehow I doubt it.
