Scottsdale can seem materialistic, and sure enough, one of those materials is suede. The smooth, sexy fabric covers the furniture and even an entire wall of the eponymous supper club. Other features of note include the flaming fountain in front that shines the spotlight on Suede's mammoth outdoor patio. Water freezes on the frosted bar top that keeps drinks cold, while a chandelier of hand-blown glass hangs elegantly over the action. Brought to you by the same group that started Axis & Radius across the street, Suede follows the trend of New York-style upscale lounges opening in Phoenix. But in addition, Suede offers a full menu highlighted by soy- glazed sea bass. Go ahead, stroke that suede. -- Michael Brennan
