text: First of all take away the Scottsdale from this place Please nnTake away the snobbery the overpriced designer schwag the rippling muscles reeking with insecurity and the overly obnoxious chicks with Daddy issues and well you have a Lyte Lounge I would be happy to frequent nnFirst off I am not a drinker of cocktails But Lyte does offer some tasty beers like Peroni Pilsner Urquell Newscastle Stella so there are definitely options nnI like the decor the art on the walls the invitation for the resident artist to paint during the night I like the highback horseshoe white booths I like the open floor I like the bar area which warps back to the private lounge I like the patio which has an outdoor bar and fireplace I even like the bathrooms clean Most of all I like the Wii Lounge there available in a sort of private lounge area elevated and tucked in the corner overlooking the rest of the patrons nnYes I could easily like this place I mean the music offers a wide variety When I was there I heard a singersongwriter a band playing big band style tunes and a DJ throwing down some serious dance tracks I liked the music very much so Some would say it has an identity crisis but I prefer to look at is as VARIETYnnBut let us face it this is still a Scottsdale lounge And for that reason alone because we all know what a Scottsdale lounge is and what kind of people it attracts I HIGHLY doubt I will ever go back Too bad because I could see myself really really liking this place nnI think the ONE AND ONLY TIME I would come here is earlier in the evening around before heading to my final destination whatever they may be But let us be real Am I really going to go out to Lyte Lounge before heading someplace else That is doubtfulnnBut for all those in favor of a night out in Scottsdale this is a good place to stop It is right next to Crown Room and lends itself to a short walk to other places like Drift or Myst Not a bad place to be if you are a barlounge trying to make it in the Snottsdale Circuit
