50 Best Bars in Scottsdale

“I had the wings, coming from the north east coast- the wings were meh - I'm used to Buffalo wings. The atmosphere and service staff were top notch for a theme bar. FYI they charge a greedflation fee of 4%. I'd go back just for the 90s nostalgia“

“This is one of my favorite locations to watch the sun set with vibrant desert colors while enjoying a charcuterie and queso board with a specialty cocktail or a glass of wine. Seating on the terrace is recommended, although there are high tops along the bar, and comfy seating by the fireplace for those cool desert nights.“

“Always liked the VT. Food and service is the best.“

“A beautiful property with majestic views.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Hotel Valley Ho is exceptional in service and location. Can walk to Old Town Scottsdale for other dining and shopping but ZuZu Restaurant is spectacular. The staff and food, hotel and gym, spa was all great. My only "complaint" was getting enough sun at either pool. Difficult due to buildings blocking afternoon sun. Otherwise top notch!“

“I love this New Hot spot, Great staff, yummy drinks, yummy food and awesome vibes. You definitely need to stop by and make this one of you new favorite bars..“

“Great food, service and a fun place.“

“Absolutely the best Italian food in Phoenix!“

“Super fun place! Wveryois happy and having a great time!“

“Love this little biker bar! Great outdoor patio for my smoker friends. I'm not much of a drinker, but this place is worth going to have a beer (nice selection). Like stepping back in time as soon as you enter.

Parking: Small parking lot. But then, it's a small bar. If there's no place to park, there's probably no room inside, either. Try again next time. It's worth it.“

“first class wine pairing dinner. Gordon Ramsey would have been proud!“

“I love this place and especially Sarah she’s the best bartender and so nice. We always have a great time there and she makes it so much better!“

“My husband has wanted to try the Scotch Library for some time and we finally had a chance. Guy was incredibly helpful and informative. He walked us through the process and my husband enjoyed the experience immensely. Whether you're a scotch lover or brand new to it this is a fantastic venue!“

“Highly recommend! The new owner is amazing, the service was outstanding!“

“The place is very well inside a hotel and I found it charming.

It has an excellent view that I recommend to watch the sunset.

The staff is incredibly friendly.

The menu is short but definitely delicious, good presentation and good portions.

In relation to price and quality, it seems appropriate to me since the place has a great atmosphere and the view makes you have a great experience.“

“Very fun I love playing pool“

“Caroline took great care of us— she really provided stellar service and made every effort to accommodate my food restrictions, which I really appreciated!! Our food came out COLD the first time but they remade it and while it took quite some time, it came out delicious and exactly what we hoped for. Caroline kindly took great care of us while we waited and we highly recommend her as a server!“

“We had an incredible dinner at Mowry &Cotton! My daughter ordered the bunny grilled cheeses and I ordered the trout with Brussels sprouts. Serving sizes were great and flavors unique and memorable. Service was friendly and ambience relaxing. Will definitely return.“

“Best place in town to get down!“

“Stopped in for a quick drink after some bowling with friends and this was a very nice spot pretty spacious very clean and service was pretty fast. My only complaint is that this business is strictly money only they do not take any cards but they do have a ATM on site.“

“Greta was amazing. Her recommendations for our entrees and her attentiveness to our table did not go unnoticed. We ordered the Ahi ceviche, clam chowder with the tomato broth ( I can't recall the name), roasted branzino with sautéed spinach and risotto. We also ordered warm sourdough bread with butter. We would recommend this place for a business casual, nice ambiance restaurant if you are craving seafood. The only thing I regret is not ordering the gluten free flourless chocolate cake!!“

“If you want a fun evening with great dining and drinking, then this is the place for you. Ask to be seated in Jessica’s section for a great dining experience with a personable engaging waitress. You’ll want to personally compliment the general manager Austin on the incredible selection of whiskey - He found my favorite Coal Ila scotch up on the top shelf behind other bottles! We enjoyed outdoor patio seating with a beautiful view of the DC ranch plaza“

“The food was sooooo good!“

“Very nice and newly remodeled rooms. Service was great!“

“DRINKS ARE LIKE $15+ plus 4% tax and tip and actually taxes the vibes be lit but dang you gotta pregame a little before or something all and all its a good house club good djs from time to time. Don’t like that they hold up people in line after 12pm so come early.“

“I landed here because all the other bars in the neighborhood were either too sports bar or too hotel lobby bar. Giligan's has one of the most bizarre fashion senses, but it's also warm and inviting and a great place to chat with locals.“

“Pub Rock is a KC Chiefs bar, but they are so friendly and accommodating, that I (a HUGH Buffalo Bills fan ❤️🦬💙) have made this my local spot to come for Happy Hours, Karaoke, and even NFL games. Such a fun crowd of people and awesome live music during the week and in the weekends.“

“I would recommend Porters had amazing service, drinks were spot on, casual, very comfortable and fun atmosphere! Would go again.“

“Music Daylon Greer and The atmosphere is relaxing.“

“This place was recommended by a friend. Went last Friday and had the Bigger Beefstro Burger and I can honestly say it's one of the best burgers I've ever had! And the sweet potato tots were great as well. These guys know their stuff!!“

“We wanted to watch some football and have dinner and decided to try the Garanda Bar & Grill. It is a bit difficult to locate in the hotel as it is on the 4th floor and not above the lobby where you would expect it to be. Once we found it, the staff were excellent and took care of us right away. We tried the mushroom pizza and the meat lovers pizza. The crust was pretty good and there were lots of toppings but the pizzas were very salty (probably too much topping). Lots of TV's to watch football and the staff were very accommodating to find the games everyone wanted to watch.“

“Awesome hangout for Eagles games! Very friendly🦅🏈“

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

“Best Spot Around Good People Great Food Will 💯 BE BACK FOR MORE #notlikeus“

“Great place to watch sports!“

“Jessaca amd I went for our anniversary dinner and it was spectacular. The food was absolutely incredible, the staff was sociable and treated us like family. Would highly recommend for a romantic night out.“

“Three words. ON AND POPPIN'!!! #PartyTime“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Stopped by here at 7am on a Sunday to ask for jumper cables to jump my scooter battery. There weren't any so me and my dog ended up staying while we waited for my mom. The staff was nice they gave him water and a slimjim and a patron shared their chips with him. He had a great time and everyone loved his Dallas cowboy jersey. I normally wouldn't drink on a Sunday, but this (I'm almost sure of it) would definitely be a bar our lord would unwind in. An over indulged couple arguing about which wataburger is the best, while a man in a ICP shirt sings louder than the jukebox speakers to the the tune of John Legends All Of Me. The nearly packed bar seemed to enjoy it and even joined it at some parts, even waking up the tired and filling them with inspiration; a là church if you will. This unexpected yet familiar place nearly made me forget it was only 7am on a Sunday and me and my dog still needed to drive my scooter home. I will definitely return for more of the unexpected, and so will my dog…for the chips and slimjims of course.

Kid-friendliness: Gave my dog slimjims.“

“My husband and I went there for the first time last week and had the most delicious meal! By far my favorite Italian restaurant in the area“

“Fun birthday experience with family“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Very sad to say that we had a very bad experience at your restaurant after so many great meals there. There was one server a very young guy, who was taking his time with everything but the customers on the patio. The place was not packed. There were just certain people he was clearly ignoring. At 30 minutes of sitting he approached and said I'll get to you when I can. At the 45 minute point we had ordered and still had not gotten drinks or appetizers. I asked one of the waitresses who had just arrived and she brought two drinks out. She was very nice. But we then waited until an hour and a half before our server brought the food, cold, like really cold. Clearly it had been sitting around a while. There were only four tables in the restaurant. I think this was probably payback for us asking about our drinks. The entire time he was had been waiting diligently on a table with a single young female, refilling her water, returning again and again. Great food but lately, really terrible service and this waiter really sent the message that he could care less.“

“We had such an amazing experience!! The food was excellent, the exceptional staff complements the atmosphere and food. Overall extremely impressed. 10 out of 10 recommend RAVEN!“

“Went to Goodwood, bald bouncer, I think Jeff checking IDS at the door with a beard indicated I had an attitude, he grab my arm and pulled me out of line and then proceeded to put both hands on my shoulders and pushed me. When is it EVER right for a man to put his hands on a woman in such an aggressive way, especially for no reason. Girls, and moms and dads of girls beware, this is a women's worse nightmare, no regard and very aggressive. This is alarming and very disturbing. I have never in my 52 years had a man treat me this aggressively. I plan to file a complaint with the PD, this man is dangerous to women Aggressive bouncer, read more reviews on Yelp. This guy and establishment has no regard for woman, he is a ticking time bomb, all WOMEN watch out for this guy, he had no problem assaulting me.“

“Good food and service great“

“Enjoyed lunch today, from bruschetta to marinara parmigiana everything was delicious. Server Morgan S was friendly and helpful. Worth the trip from east valley!“

“Pitch Cavasson is my absolute favorite spot. The atmosphere is perfect for groups with great service, and their cocktails are consistently amazing. I love all their pizzas and beet salad. Their bourbon selection is truly incredible, offering a wide range of top-tier options. If you’re into tequila, their bottle shop is a must-visit. On top of that, their food is delicious, with plenty of healthy options to choose from, which is a rare find for such a fun venue. Whether you’re stopping by for drinks or a meal, you’re always in for a treat. I highly recommend Pitch Cavasson to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!“
