Best KPortal Reviews

Shout out to one of the best spots in Tempe. It was absolutely banging here even on a Friday. Our group loved our time here!!! Highly recommend stopping in. They have three levels, from a dance floor to an electric bull. Thank you for hooking it up for my best friends birthday. We will be back!!!
After spending so much money on this place they treat you like TRASH!!! Bottle service is not worth it. They try to take advantage of people that are a little buzz and kick them out. Bathrooms are HORRIBLE. Sticky, no toilet seat covers and NO TOILET PAPER. What kind of establishment are they running here. They make up "rules" and lie they're way to kicking you out.
If you're willing to throw your money here and not enjoy yourself go for it. Do not recommend this place at all. At least at night. AVOID IT.
This was our first time here. I can only guess what kind of bar this turns into when the college kids hit it, but we arrived around 6:00 and the patio was fantastic. Our server was amazing. I ordered the cheese quesadilla, the most simple but perfectly executed cheese quesadilla I have ever had at a restaurant. In fact, it was just like I used to make when I was a teenager. Nostalgia rules sometimes. The other items we ordered were well executed and the ambiance was just what we needed. Bummer about no beers on tap, but you can't have it all.
We went in the afternoon and ordered drinks and appetizers from the happy hour menu. Drinks and nachos are great. Chicken tenders is small and not good. Server is nice but slow.
It's a young crowd but, we rocked it! Ride the bull and see how it turns out. There's plenty of different areas to hang out. The view is spectacular!
Food & Service were good.
I had the sliders, which were cheesy and tasty. The seasoned fries on the side were flavorful. I also had a red berry spritzer which was nice but I wish they had daqueris. I did ask for the pickle spear instead of pickles on the sandwich but they never brought it. Otherwise service was good tho.
My friends had the Asian salad and they said it was the best salad they've had. My friend was disappointed that they didn't have kilt lifter in stock tho.
I will note sitting outside was too hot even with the misting system so we moved inside.
Also the chair at the table we sat at by the back TV almost fell over with me In it because there is a chunk of cement missing in the floor and the chair leg went in the hole. I'd suggest getting that checked out before someone gets hurt.
Overall we were satisfied with the visit.
We came to this club to celebrate my sisters bachelorette party. We were there for three hours and saw 5 fights. One of the fights we all witnessed a girl get punched in the head repeatedly by some random dude who just joined the altercation. Security came and throw the dude who was just having a good time with his wife. The others who started it throw punches and ran up stairs. Security didn’t bother looking for them. I would not recommend this place, the music sucked and drinks over priced.
Came here before a Yotes game. Wild that there is a bar without any kind of beer on draught. Ordered chips and a chicken sandwich. The chips were 12 dollars and definitely not even close to worth the price. Felt trappy. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, but my fries were cold? Service was really slow and I wasn't really impressed with the space. Wasn't incredibly upset that I went, but won't go back again next time I'm down in Tempe.
