A 1920s speakeasy in North Scottsdale
Tell Your Friends is a speakeasy inspired by the Gatsby era, hidden one floor below The Americano on Scottsdale Road.
You come in through a quiet entrance on the north side of the building, a host walks you down the steps, and the room opens up: 52 seats of velvet banquettes, a marble bar, a stage in the middle and 16-foot ceilings of light.
It's built for a long night: craft cocktails, live music Thursday to Sunday and small plates until late.

The award-winning mixologist behind the cocktail program: seasonal signatures, a build-your-own martini and the Jazz Age Smolder, a Scotch cocktail smoked at the table.
