Reflecting a national trend, “speakeasy” bars are all the rage around Scottsdale.
The Goose this week joins Poppy’s, the renovated Scottsdale Resort and several other Scottsdale watering holes that wink at the “underground” bars of the Prohibition Era.
But one would-be speakeasy that literally wants to be underground – perhaps more accurately, “underpool” – got deep-sixed by the Scottsdale Planning Commission.
The people behind the Maya Day and Nightclub were seeking a recommendation to City Council for a conditional use permit to add a 3,825 square foot “sub-grade” bar.
