What is Shiv?
For years, 7373 E Camelback Rd was a nightclub: the Mint Ultra Lounge, part of Old Town’s late-night circuit. In May 2025, Riot Hospitality Group reopened the building as Shiv, which it called Scottsdale’s first fine-dining supper club, and which now goes by SHIV Steakhouse.
The scale is serious: 13,869 square feet, with a main dining room, multiple bars, a patio and a separate late-night room. Riot’s culinary director Dustin Cooke built the menu with Jeff Mahin, a chef whose résumé includes the Fat Duck in England and L2O in Chicago. The opening dishes were designed to be performed at the table: a truffle butter bread service with truffle shaved tableside into compound butter, chilled seafood towers, a caviar dome with lobster and brioche, scallop crudo, a halibut chowder, and charcoal-fired prime steaks topped by a tomahawk carved in front of you.
What makes it a supper club rather than a steakhouse with a DJ is the entertainment. There is live music every night, covers and remixes of house and pop, and on weekends the room continues after dinner as Shiv After Supper, a desserts, cocktails and bottle-service lounge.
It is the clearest example of where Old Town nightlife went in the 2020s: the club became a dinner reservation.
How to do Shiv properly
Decide which Shiv you want. Dinner and After Supper are separate experiences. Dinner is a full-menu steakhouse with entertainment. Shiv After Supper, on Friday and Saturday after dinner service, drops the dinner menu entirely and serves desserts, cocktails and bottle service, with limited seating and calls for reservations. If you want both, book a late dinner and stay.
Order the theater. The truffle bread service is the opener everyone gets. A seafood tower or the caviar dome sets the tone for a celebration, and the tomahawk is the table’s centerpiece. Riot’s original dessert program, led at opening by pastry chef Nundi Harris, was built around champagne and showpiece desserts in the late-night room.
Dress the part. The after-supper dress code is business casual and enforced: no athleisure, slides, cutoffs, sleeveless shirts, beachwear, overly baggy clothing or bandanas. Dinner guests who plan to stay should dress for the stricter rule.
Arrive by valet or rideshare. Valet is $15, and the site notes free parking in the surrounding area. Weekend nights on this stretch of Camelback, a short walk from the W Scottsdale and the entertainment district, are busy; rideshare is the sensible choice. Shiv is a natural fit for birthdays, bachelorette dinners and big Old Town weekends.
From ultra lounge to supper club
Old Town’s nightlife reinvents itself about once a decade. For a long stretch the money was in clubs: bottle service, velvet ropes, rooms that opened at ten. The Mint Ultra Lounge on Camelback belonged to that world, alongside the rooms a few blocks south whose fate the Bottled Blonde story traces.
Riot Hospitality Group, founded by Ryan Hibbert in 2010, read the next shift early. Its 2010s venues on Saddlebag Trail, including El Hefe and Whiskey Row, served dinner first and turned into bars later, so customers spent the whole evening in one place. In 2016 the company opened Hand Cut on the Waterfront, a restaurant first. Shiv pushes that idea to its limit: a club-sized building where the main event is a tasting of luxury ingredients and the party comes as a second course. Announced in December 2024, it was Riot’s fifteenth venue.
Local coverage of the district in 2025 described the same move across Old Town, with operators “chasing a more polished, elevated crowd.” Shiv, along with the arrival of Sexy Roman at the W down the street, made this stretch of Camelback the center of that upscale turn.
The honest assessment: Shiv is expensive, loud on purpose, and built for occasions. Its own branding has moved from “Supper Club” to “Steakhouse,” and the menu is built around the steaks and the show. For a celebration in Old Town, it does exactly what it promises; for a quiet steak, look elsewhere.
