The Madam

We were in town just for a week and found this gem! The decor was stunning and the ambiance was so inviting! And well, the drinks were absolutely amazing! Too bad we ate before we got there! Would have loved to try their food! Until next time!

A bit disappointing. They were out of bacon wrapped dates, the truffle fries were to heavily truffled and left a bad after taste but the aioli was good. There was a guitarist playing write outside the door so we had a terrible blend of music from the madam and the guitarist, I don't know about other people but listening to 2 different songs at the same time makes me crazy.The atmosphere is just ok. We had 3 different drinks, word of mouth, moody mistress and dooms day. Word of mouth, I finished it but wouldn't order it again. Moody Mistress was terrible, the egg whites on top tasted and smelled fishy, it was undrinkable ( I should have sent it back but I hate doing that). The Dooms day was good, it was chocolatey but just the right amount. There are a lot of better places around to go for drinks, I wouldn't make the trip there again.

We have so many cute little speakeasies popping up all over the Valley, and this is one of my favorites. Was able to get a Friday evening reservation just a few hours ahead, which was a pleasant surprise considering it is not a large venue (there are only 4 tables). The entire place is very aesthetically pleasing, from the decor to the drinks. Kadek is an amazing bartender, and a huge part of why I liked this place so much. He is so friendly, and he makes great drinks. The birthday drinks are quite the production. There is a small food menu - we had the truffle Parmesan fries. They were delicious and came with plenty enough to share. The speakeasy is on the 3rd floor at the resort, look for the Social Boardroom. Make sure you get that password first. You'll get in through the bookcase - I always love those cool speakeasy hidden entrances. You can get valet parking if you drive up to the lobby, or simply self-park for free. The resort is gorgeous and The Madam fits right in!

Fun hidden spot in the Scottsdale resort. The craft cocktails and cocktails were delicious. Small serve for a hefty price tag but the master craft cocktail maker made amazing drinks and you can tell takes great pride in his craft.

Made a reservation and highly recommend you do since it is small. Our bartender Kadek made it special since we were celebrating a birthday and he provided a very nice complimentary cocktail to the birthday girl. This was lovely, it had campari, strawberry, japanese gin, and toasted cinnamon aroma infused - which made the entire bar smell nice.We also had the Devil's Gambit, and the Dooms Day. Loved the chocolate profile of the Dooms Day! For food, we had the Crab Cakes, and the Truffle Fries. Loved the Crab Cakes. Be aware, it is Scottsdale resort prices.The entrance is through the bookcase in the Social Boardroom which is on the 3rd floor.

It's a cute little hidden bar. Love the concept of a bar behind a bookcase. It's a very small, intimate setting, low lights and only a few tables. The bartender seemed very nice, and very dedicated to his craft. We didn't try any food, even though the menu sounded good, we were just full. He had the "Wilson's Law" which was a little too heavy on the mint for my liking, but he liked it. I had a mocktail, as I wasn't feeling like having a drink at that moment. He asked if I liked fruity drinks, and obvi I said yes. Maybe I'm basic enough that he can tell, but he wasn't wrong. He also asked if I was fine with carbonation, also yes, so it was a bubbly fruity concoction which I would totally drink again. It was a cute and fun experience. When you have good company and a cute place to be, it's a night to remember. If you're at the Scottsdale resort and spa, make a reservation for this cute hidden bar!

Located behind the bookcase...located in the boardroom...located in the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch...located in Old Town Scottsdale...There are many speakeasies around town, as they have really gained popularity, and The Madam is one that really has that true prohibition secretive feel. It's a small dark space that only seats eight. Reservations are recommended, especially outside of slower summer hours. We visited in July and were the only patrons for a couple of hours. (Downside to that is that they did close early, after we left, due to low turnout.)We were greeted by bartender Kadek as he handed us each a small introductory sipping glass of his own delicious concoction. We each ordered a signature cocktail from the menu to start but trusted Kadek for the rest. He asked our tastes and made us each a couple of great cocktails of his choosing. There are a few lite bites to choose from as well, so we enjoyed some crab cakes and the truffle fries.Being the only guests in the bar, we had fun getting to know Kadek. He was a few months into his 1 year hospitality internship with the hotel and quickly moved from serving to tending bar. We enjoyed learning about him growing up in Bali and his future career plans. He really made the experience great, and we never would have guessed that he was newer to creating cocktails.We truly had a fun time. So much so that we went to the hotel desk and grabbed a room for the night so that we could enjoy Kadek and The Madam a little longer.

Meh. It was alright. The margs were good. The only food that was available was brunch. We didn't want brunch. The margs did us right though.

Had the BEST experience with Daniel. He took our favorite drink ideas & put an awesome twist on them. A mojito with boba? Are you kidding? Truly an awesome experience, would recommend to others!!

Small. Warm. Interesting. Live entering through a bookcase. Small limited seating! The drinks are all craft! Our bartender kadeck was amazing!!! Definitely recommend
