Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents Rockbar

Scottsdale residents and business owners have clashed for years over a bar they say mars an artsy area of Old Town with loud music and excessive smoke.
Rockbar, located on Craftsman Court south of Fifth Avenue, opened in 2011 and has an outdoor smoking patio in a busy pedestrian alley.
The street is known for upscale art galleries and restaurants. Rockbar, some residents say, sticks out like a sore thumb.
The debate came to a head this week as the city approved a new 15-year dining license for the patio at Rockbar, despite protest.
