After years of anticipation and “coming soon” signs, 40 Love, the celebrity-backed dining and nightlife concept has officially opened its doors in Old Town Scottsdale. With 7,000 square feet of space, upscale menu, bar program, and lounge-club energy, this new hotspot signals more than nightlife; it highlights Scottsdale’s growing appeal for buyers seeking vibrant, amenity-rich communities. If you’re considering a move here, 40 Love’s arrival adds another lifestyle benefit to the city’s growing list.

From Hollywood to Scottsdale: The Story Behind 40 Love 

40 Love was born in West Hollywood, where it became a magnet for upscale dining, celebrity sightings, and a country-club–meets–nightlife vibe. The concept, co-founded by Sean Mulholland and Avery Johnson Jr., and backed by high-profile partners including Niall Horan and DeAndre Hopkins, quickly earned a reputation for blending fine dining, sleek design, and high-energy social scenes.

In 2024 the decision was made to bring 40 Love to Scottsdale, choosing Old Town’s lively, walkable streets as the setting for its Arizona flagship. With a design that nods to traditional American “country-club” style and a modern lounge atmosphere, 40 Love is positioned to offer a fusion of luxury and social energy that matches Scottsdale’s evolving identity.

Opening in late 2025 at 7117 E. 6th Ave, the venue replaces the former Kelly’s at Southbridge and now brings a fresh, upscale nightlife and dining option to Old Town.

Why 40 Love’s Arrival Matters for Scottsdale Real Estate 

When a high-profile hospitality concept chooses Scottsdale for its flagship location, it’s more than a restaurant opening, it’s a signal. It reflects confidence in the local economy, demographics, and lifestyle demand. For homebuyers, this matters.

Neighborhoods with vibrant nightlife, upscale dining, and social energy tend to attract residents who value lifestyle, convenience, and long-term property value. New amenities like 40 Love help maintain strong demand for nearby homes and signal that Scottsdale remains a city growing in appeal, not just size.

Put simply: 40 Love doesn’t just elevate nights out, it strengthens Scottsdale’s case as a smart place to invest in a home and a lifestyle.
