50 Best Cocktail Bars in Scottsdale

“Had a truly excellent experience yesterday for brunch on the patio. It started with the hostess seating us which was very professional and courteous. Alexis was our server and she was amazing. Found out during the end of our meal that she had only been working there for two days. She was as knowledgeable and professional as she could be. She checked back numerous times to see if we needed anything. The brunch burger was amazing. So many flavors inside one bun! The Bloody Mary’s were spot on! We dont live here but if we did this would be a regular spot for brunch, business dinners or just a great date night! In todays world of lousy service and subpar service, this place is a shining star!!!!!“

“Experience was faaaaab! Granted they were out of two of the signature drinks, but there are so many options that isn't a huge deal. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, the server was attentive and made sure our bday celebration was top notch!“

“We had NO IDEA where to go for a quick bite on our way to a trail race at McDowell State Park. Google suggested this was on the way (hmm... not really!!) We were TOTALLY shocked this is a clubhouse for a golf course! We were wearing hiking gear 😀. The food was very tasty. We really enjoyed the salad-- good size portion. We also ordered the meatballs (great spicy marinara) and a pizza! Service was very friendly. Not too loud. Clean!!! If we lived closer, we would go again.“

“There's a lot of hype about this restaurant on Instagram and it's certainly very Instagrammable. Our waiters were excellent, and there are plenty of cute locations to take photos. The drinks are cute in presentation and have good flavor, but I'm unsure how much alcohol is in them, because we could not taste or feel it. The food is also flavorful, but slightly different than expected. I got the beef kebabs, which say they come with crispy potatoes, which turned out to be crispy shreds of potato on top of the beef rather than a true side of potatoes. Fun for a girls night but I'm not sure it's worth all the hype. We had originally planned to do the $100 girlfriend dinner experience, but on arrival realized that the five course menu didn't have anything different than the regular menu. So we opted to select things off the regular menu and saved money this way. “

“Fabulous dinner - great food and wonderful people - everything was spectacular - A Brooklyn boy eating good Italian food in Arizona“

“Great food. Nice and quiet atmosphere. We tried several drinks The Dice the mezcal was a little too smoky. I didn’t like the Saguaro. See you in Mexico was delicious and The Butterfly.“

“Everything, the place is great !!!“

“Very fun evening with excellent drinks“

“Sat at the bar for a cocktail. Drinks were delicious. However service at our table for dinner was so slow. The place wasn't crowded but our server rarely made it past our table. I had the steak and truffle fries. Very good. My husband had the same thing and he is picky for his steaks. He didn't care for it. Our friend had a burger and said it wasn't very flavorful. I believe it was the one with bacon. Over all the ambience was wonderful. But I don't think we would go back to eat. We would go for the cocktails though“

“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.“

“Great place to relax and eat by the pool! We ordered the guac and salsa trio and split a grilled chicken sandwich. I also had a Corona. John was our waiter and was very kind. They even brought us two half servings of the sandwich since we were splitting it. Of course, this restaurant is in a very overpriced resort and the menu prices are pretty high. Overall, a nice experience though. And the views are great!“

“their Dua pizza was most excellent! the sausage with fennel had a mouth watering taste of spice. the pizza was juicy without being soggy! Highlyrecommended!“

“I just spent my first time going to Ocean 44 and I must say, this is one of the best restaurants I had ever been to. When I took my wife there they really took care of us. Any questions we had about the menu they made sure they walked us through the whole menu so knew how everything works. They took care of us just as good as being at a life loan Doctors office. I definitely recommend this place and especially to take your date to.“

“The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food. We really enjoyed the burger and fries and the sea bass ceviche, but everything was wonderful…especially for a poolside restaurant (it’s rare to find one that offers good, fresh sushi options!). And the drinks were delicious.

Ricardo delivered our food and he was completely lovely, attentive, and professional (I wish he was our server!).

Blake/Drake (?) the pool attendant was wonderful - very pleasant and helpful.“

“Great view and reasonable prices in the heart of Old Town!“

“Ashton was amazing! As a server assistant he went above and beyond and I am appalled to hear he is not a server. The attentiveness of himself and the rest of the staff made all of the difference. Ashton is the reason I’ll return. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Ocean 44 is consistently outstanding , the food is always delicious, beautifully prepared, and there's something for everyone on the menu. The atmosphere is elegant but still warm and welcoming, making every visit feel special. The staff deserves special mention, they're incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. I have a dairy allergy, and they're always careful, helpful, and fully informed, from the server to the food runner. That level of care makes such a difference. It's truly a joy to dine here, and the follow-up call after your visit to ensure your experience was top-notch is such a thoughtful touch. Ocean 44 is one of my absolute favorites!“

“My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Reserve. We found the cuisine to be exceptional and the ambiance serene and romantic. We are thoroughly pleased with our experience and will cherish the memories created. Thank you for contributing to a truly special evening.“

“Wanted to show some friends from LA a great Phoenix spot and this did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal, such a fun an interesting menu with great presentation. Great little spot for really high quality food! Can't wait to go back“

“We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the chef’s tasting table. Each course was amazing, service was exceptional and the overall experience was A+. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something a little different in a beautiful setting.“

“Amazing food and drinks! Taco Monday is a must! Great vibes. Elise won’t let you down!“

“My wife and I attended the mini Chandler High class of 1983 reunion held at this fine establishment. The day and weather was beautiful to sit outside in the courtyard and visit with old friends. The food was delicious, nothing but rave reviews for everything made in house from the pizza's to the hummus made with cannelloni beans. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and Social interactions at Craft 64. Suzanna the manager went above and beyond making our reunion enjoyable and her service and staff are to be applauded for a job well done. Thank you!“

“My waiter Eric took care of me after he notice the hosts places me in an empty section and I haven't been helped in 25mins. I ordered my favorite wine and steak bites both were 10/10. The vibe was there and tvs at every corner. So you won't miss the game! Due to the host being catty I gave it a 4 stars - she's the face and the first interaction. Positive attitude goes a long way“

“Alec was an outstanding server great food Thankyou and a birthday card class act“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fusion 5 Authentic Indian Cuisine and Bar, and it was an outstanding experience. The highlight of my meal was the Chicken Quesadillas, which were simply extraordinary. The quesadillas were perfectly crisp, with a generous filling of tender, flavorful chicken and a delightful blend of spices that elevated the dish to new heights. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, leaving a lasting impression on my palate. The restaurant's ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch, contributing to an overall fantastic dining experience. Fusion 5 has truly mastered the art of authentic Indian cuisine, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.“

“We were seated upstairs on the outside patio and it was great. Food and Drinks were all fantastic. Service was exceptional. Bella (Annabella S.) provided us with excellent recommendations on both the food and drinks. She was very personable and professional. Thanks, we will be back again.“

“I am blown away by the welcoming atmosphere I was invited in with tonight! I am in the area for business and popped in at total random by myself, and was so genuinely focused on and taken care of my entire time there. I shared great laughs and kindness from the host, waitress and, what I assume was, also the shift manager! Drinks recommended for me to try were amazing and my food was drool worthy! Thank you so much for the pleasant experience and I will totally be back next business trip out here!! Much love.“

“This establishment is absolutely amazing! The food and service are superb and plated perfectly. The food is delicious and freshly made, it's definitely a must try or visit again. Karim and Jenny were on point, an exceptional experience thanks to both of them... Trust me when I say, this place is a gem. Ask for Karim and Jenny!“

“I was looking for the soul Cafe and it kind of looked like .that corner.. and looked in and ate. It was very quiet in there but the food was very good. Atmosphere was good.. And after that I found the soul Cafe and I went there for a cocktail...“

“Great/friendly staff. Waitress and server were very personable. Breakfast burrito was HUGE and tasty(gotta add bacon). No I didn’t finish the burrito ( could have in the old days, lol) Chile”sauce” was tasty but not close to good old green from Albuquerque. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Best Mexican food in town since I built it in the 90’s’!!!!!“

“Love the morning Baristas! Ellie, Nikki, Raq, and John always make me smile!“

“Excellent place! Food was great: birria and chicken tinga tacos hit the spot. A+ tequila selection if you know your tequila (Fortaleza, G4, Lalo, Cazcanes, Cascahuin, Ocho, Tesoro, Mijenta, Don Fulano, ArteNOM 1579, etc) and I really enjoyed sipping and talking tequila with other patrons and David behind the bar who treated us so well. Such a great atmosphere.“

“This is one of our favorite spots in the valley for sushi. The food is great and the service is helpful, friendly , and attentive. The happy hour deals are great. One of our favorite dishes is the coconut shrimp, but you can pick anything on the menu and won't be disappointed. The place itself is clean, modern, and comfortable. Highly recommend it.“

“The food and service here is always great! Friendly staff and consistent dishes. One very weird thing however is there is a big white wood wall in the bar area now ( Think She Shed but indoors) 🤔 It completely blocks the windows and natural light and gives the bar a claustrophobic feel. Not good at all. IDK what the heck that is but it needs to go. It kills the diner vibe it makes you feel like you are eating inside of a cargo container with no windows. Update! The She Shed in the bar area is gone! It’s so much better now without it. 🥳“

“Yes!! Awesome Happy Hour food and drinks!! Staff is great 👍“

“First time -,great food and service. Had the shrimp cocktail and the St.Louis ribs. Shrimp large and perfectly cold and flavorful . Ribs fall off the bone. Also Cobb salad perfect. First time having an 9 minute egg in my salad .“

“Great atmosphere and great food 🥘. Highly recommend going here for a nice brunch.“

“My girlfriend and I was celebrating our anniversary and this place made our experience exceptional!!! All the staff members were very respectful and kind. They even gave us a discount for celebrating our anniversary!!! Thank you guys again for a great experience. Peace and love.“

“One of the best out of the house Thanksgiving dinners I have ever had. If ever you go, you must ask if they have the lobster escargot on the menu. And no, it is not snails. Just ask them if they carry it and if you love lobster you better order these. You can thank me later. “

“for the first time in a long time, I walked out of a restaurant completely satisfied with every aspect of my experience.., and that restaurant was yours. from your server's cheerful attitude, and all-around helpfulness, to the perfectly portioned amout of amazing food. the specialty drinks where delicious and very fairly priced. on a scale of one to ten, this restaurant is easily a ten. treat yourself to a slice of heaven.. thank you..“
