This type of fun, cheaper, college bar concept worked for decades... maybe costs are too high now to make it pencil? Maybe Devil's Hideway will hit some of the sweet spots?
I can almost guarantee these new concepts if they're ultimately too high-end won't stick around unfortunately.

Id beg to differ. There are plenty of twenty/thirty somethings living and working in tempe that would LOVE for a concept that isn't pandering to the cheap young crowd. I being one of them. There are not a lot of cool places to grab a drink that are nicer or have a lounge type atmosphere. Thats why we go to dtphx instead.
If mill had a nicer bar we'd actually go, but we don't since its for 21-23 year olds and those who are younger that manage to get in with fake ID's. If they want more money on mill they need to open bars or lounges or restaurants that are for non-college students. I will note, however, that it seems like the "older" crowd will likely spend their time in the nous corridor area, so this may not be the intent for Mill.
