Food Network celebrity chefs Scott Conant and Beau MacMillan team up on Scottsdale bar bites

Food Network celebrity chefs Scott Conant of The Americano and Beau MacMillan of Cala are joining forces to put their touch on the menu at a new cocktail lounge.

Tell Your Friends, a cocktail and live music lounge, will open in North Scottsdale in early spring 2024.

The project is a collaboration between Creation Hospitality, the group behind Conant's The Americano and Mora and Clive Collective, which owns MacMillan's Cala.

The intimate lounge will be accessed through a side door at The Americano. Guests will enter into a dimly lit vestibule with floral walls and stair covers descending down a staircase to the lounge proper.

Through a red velvet curtain, guests will be ushered inside the space where a set of bar-to-ceiling lights lead the eyes to a stage where there will be nightly performances.

"North Scottsdale has long been waiting for a refined and one-of-a-kind nightlife destination tailored to a discerning crowd — Tell Your Friends is exactly that," said Kevin Ferguson, Creation Hospitality's director of operations.

What's on the menu at Tell Your Friends

The menu will offer a mix of classic and craft cocktails that rotate seasonally, an extensive wine list and bar bites from the two celebrity chefs.

Expected opening: Early spring 2024.

Details: 17797 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale. tellyourfriendsaz.com.
