50 Best Bars near Paradise Valley

“From the moment entering Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, you are greeted by a sense of calm and tranquility. The walk up to the elegant Jade bar is met with expansive views and immersive plant life. Self parking is easy and simple. The bar is walk - in but did not feel over crowded. The service was excellent. The views of camel back mountain and the resort are incredible with birds flying and serenity. The building design is truly unique. In addition to the views and tranquil vibe, the cocktails and food were both excellent and well crafted. I would highly recommend as a must visit bar in the area.“

“Amazing warmth and texture to this hidden gem! Beautiful grounds and patio dining. Perfect romantic evening spot this time of year.“

“We had my grandmother’s 101 birthday dinner here Friday the 15 . There was 11 of us and it was wonderful. Food was delicious, atmosphere was quiet enough for her to be comfortable but what made it memorable was the waiter. The gentleman who waited on us ( brown hair ) was extremely knowledgeable kind patient and attentive. I am only sorry I can remember his name but hope that whoever reads this can use the details and figure it out and give him the recognition he deserves. Fried chicken and short ribs highly recommended“

“I came here with some business associates, who are visiting. It exceeded my expectations. I was a little concerned trying to find it but the whole experience (table, staff, food) was great. The views!!!!-- during the day, the mountains and at night the city lights. I will be taking more people here. It was lovely.“

Very welcoming and even brought our puppy some ice water on the patio! Our waiter was very friendly and efficient! The bartender and some patrons were also very nice to talk with!

The fish and chips were LEGIT!“

“Stopped by for national tequila day and Millie hooked up. From offering an accommodation for my tequila soda (she offered Sprite Zero and that means a lot okay???) to knowing the menu and suggesting something new. Smiths has a cool vibe and the hot dogs outside are the cherry on top!“

Zach was super welcoming, attentive and offered his recommendations. Highly recommend this spot if you like good burgers with a variety of other offers besides just burgers.“

“My sister took me here for my 21st birthday, and I had the best birthday ever. I got to try lots of different drinks, the bartender was very knowledgeable. I’ve been back other times for the insane Bloody Mary special on Sundays. They have pool tables, darts and usually a fun band. This is a family run business and truly nice and decent people. They work hard and care a lot about the people who come in there. The coolest dive bar ever!“

“I would recommend everything about this restaurant. Your experience starts with the staff at the front, everyone is on point and attentive. I didn’t see a single time that the wait and floor staff left the area without seeking eye contact from other diners. Then ….. the kitchen. Watching during a mid-service rush, you will see the calm energy that only comes from a great team culture. Everyone focused on each and every detail. Nothing goes out that doesn’t meet the team’s high standards. This kind of brigade can only come from one thing. The Chef….. Cory Oppold has always led by example. He showed everyone how deep his character was during the “Sack Lunch” and In-Home dining year. I don’t think there is anyone I would rather work beside in a kitchen than Chef Cory. The Food…… Every component adding to the story… some whispers, some screams…… taunting, flirting, enticing the culinary listener to turn the page in anticipation. Beautiful food that is as exciting to taste as it is to look at…… winner winner Squab, John Dory, and Steak dinner!! You owe it to yourself to go experience Team Oppold in action, you will never be the same again“

“Happy, friendly, sociable staff with A LOT of beer knowledge. Comfortable atmosphere with a large selection of craft beers, ciders, sours, and even some wine options. If you recognize the owner ask him questions, he always knows the answers! Love it here, will always return.“

“Just had the most amazing brunch (first visit) with our two Celiac daughters. They report the Margaritas are excellent. The food was amazing (I want to steal the potatoes gratin recipe from the "Green Chile Papas Au Gratin"!! ). My Chorizo Burrito was great. We will ABSOLUTELY be back to further explore their menu!!!“

“Amazing food, great service, will go back often and bring friends. Don't miss this place !“

“Showed up here after a couple of drinks and was lucky to have ran into bartender Kay! She was outstanding with her hospitality right of the bat! From taking my order to checking in on me to listening to my stories. It is because of people like Kay I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone!“

“Jimmys old fashions are the best in the valley! Great environment and wonderful staff!“

“I come here once and a blue moon, sometimes at night and in the lunch hours. Sometimes, it’s extremely busy for the staff.. they are such an extraordinary group of people. Cesar, Shay, and Whit are some of my favorite bartenders in the Valley. Always on it, they take care of the regulars.“

“My favorite go-to bar in downtown Phoenix. Every single bartender is top-notch. Daniel is our favorite and he is the bar manager. Miguel and Alex are also amazing. Great place to hang out, cool people and a wonderful outside patio if you want to hang out for a long time. They also have a Mexican food truck which is out of this world. I highly recommend this place for everyone.“

“We stop by when we are in Scottsdale. Came in on a random Wednesday (7/9) afternoon, and to our delight the fabulous Patrick James Jr. was performing great country covers. There was a small crowd in the bar. The bartender (sorry, didn’t catch his name) was friendly and efficient. Seemed to be having a great time with his customers. We overheard him talking about the vault behind the bar. I love the decor, and the seating is comfortable. I’m sure it’s impossible to get a seat on Friday or Saturdays though! We only grabbed a drink here, so I can’t speak on the food. For the music, vibe and bartender, 10/10. We will visit again next time in Scottsdale!“

“Delicious maki rolls!! Drinks are exceptional! Recommend it 💯“

“Food was excellent. Service was very friendly, just a little slow - but maybe just a slow night. Butter chicken was one of the best I’ve had, and the Szechuan potato appetizer was really interesting and good. Portions are generous and prices reasonable in my opinion. Will be back!“

“the best of the best ... the pork chop brought me joy“

“Highly recommend visiting here if you are in phoenix. You’ll come for the great cocktails, but stay for the experience. It’s highly imaginative. The setting is immersive in and of itself, but it’s the employees who really work to make the experience feel like you’re transported to a different time/place. We visited all 3 bars, but the bartender, Justice, at Undertow made our whole night.

Make sure to order the Oracle at P18. It’ll take you on an unexpected murder mystery journey…“

“The food was sooooo good!“

“The chicken strips are ELITE. It’s not even up for debate, so don’t every try. NORTH DAKOTA TO AZ for these dang chicken strips 😍😍😍 I have references 😆“

“This is a very special and unique space that we are so proud to have had a part in bringing to life. Come and enjoy the fabulous cocktails and staff of the Rose Garden. It will make your evening!“

“Jus a na’an cool spot to chill and throw down some“

“Fun vibe. Very retro. Interesting drinks.“

“Amazing pizza. The same way I remember it in Italy Meatballs and bruschetta was very tasty.“

“A beautiful property with majestic views.“

“Didn’t have any good bur smelled delicious. Almost all the pinball machines didn’t work when I tried them the first time. However someone was there pretty quickly to get them fixed. Karaoke and the dance floor were great! Had a blast.“

“we came down to the dirt expo and ended up in downtown Scottsdale. This place is an absolute must stop. Staff is awesome. Hands-down one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and their mango margarita was top notch.“
