The Night Owl
Written by MARIA TOURTCHANINOVA   
By Maria Tourtchaninova If you walked by the old SIX location last Friday night, you may have noticed an outside crowd. Is this a fashion forward colt? You may have asked yourself. And what are the perks to joining? Well that was not quite the case as it was the grand opening of Revolver, the newest edition to the Scottsdale night scene. If you were able to elbow your way through the entry crowd like I was, then upon arrival, you can agree with me that the party was worth the bruises. The atmosphere can be best described as a room full of ladies and gents in classic black attire. I should have worn white…and yet the crowd only added to the sophistication of Revolver itself. Unlike the flashy, glowy, new-wave of club décor, Revolver has kept its morals, which reminds me of James Bond, if he were more of a cowboy. Rich, earthy colors, ivory and brown leather sofas, clean cut lines and dim lights.

All contrasted by new-age flat screens over the bars showcasing blue skies and of course, wall art of well revolvers-and Clint Eastwood. The walls that divided SIX are gone and replaced with …air. That’s right! Room to breath in this elegantly edgy atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong; this isn’t a cigar bar or anything. Not with the new Timbaland track bumping from the speakers. It’s high energy if you want it to be, but it doesn’t impose it on you. In other words there are no disco balls, flashing lights or fog machines forcing you into delirium. It’s a natural place, what you do with it is up to you.

Owner Steve McDonald is proud of the low-key atmosphere, an organic environment in a sense, where his guests can come in to unwind. On that note, mid-price drinks! Wait, in Scottsdale? You mean I don’t have to do my usual 30k millionaire look to kick it here? Doesn’t look like it. Here’s another Fun Fact: if you’re having an ugly day, lose the hat and step into Revolver. The soft ambient lighting throughout the club makes you look as lively as the day you found out the second Twilight movie was in theaters…or was that just me. If it is possible to be drunk in a club AND be at peace of mind, then we have found it. Come check out Revolver Tuesday-Sunday 7-2pm. 480.946.2005.

Hey Night Owlis the Girl in the 1157 video "Breakdown"
