50 Best Cocktail Bars in Scottsdale

“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.“

“Everything, the place is great !!!“

“Great cocktails and food with a cool speakeasy vibe. Our cocktails were delicious as were the Mediterranean salad and Margherita pizza. We loved the Wet my Beak and the Down Comforter craft cocktails and the presentation was beautiful. There was a lot of 'Excuse me, but what are you having?' due to the bartenders artistry. We will definitely be back to try other cocktails!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I great speak easy that I did not think existed in Scottsdale, we will be back again. Drinks were great but the live music was fantastic and very interactive. Everyone is signing along and having a great time!
Recommend reservations!“

“This is one of the best restaurants in the Valley. The location is different, but actually very cool. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. This place should be fully booked every night, but people do not know what they are missing here. Excellent cocktails and impressive wine list. This is a can't miss restaurant in Phoenix.“

“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!“

“Great service I hosted a small dinner party there and they were extremely kind and accommodating. I was able to arrive 30 minutes early and decorate the table. They have sparklers for your birthday and do a great job at keeping the drinks flowing.“

“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.“

“It was nice and the service was really good. The atmosphere was ok but ai have seen much more creative vibes in other speak-easys so was hoping for a bit more. Service was very good and the 3 food items were had were pretty good and not unreasonably priced.“

“I’m not sure if this review will get lost in the sea of other glowing reviews, but I spent my birthday here tonight and the staff was wonderful. Dylan our server gave excellent recommendations and everything was spectacular. The manager came over and gave me bonbons as well for my birthday. Genuinely, from the hostess to the manager and everyone we interacted with between, it was a wonderful experience I recommend everyone give them a try.“

“Don't forget to call ahead to check if it's open! I recently met up with a coworker who was excited to visit the speakeasy, but to our surprise, it was closed for reservations. No worries, though! We decided to meet at the hotel restaurant instead, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. The service was top-notch, and the drinks were just what we needed. The tacos were delicious! The hotel itself had a great vibe and atmosphere. Overall, it was a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy some good company!“

“Great pumpkin 🎃 pancakes and service 👏🏻“

“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.“

“This is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to ! Trish treated us like family and was very accommodating!! The food and drinks were delicious!! Please come to Peoria ! We need you closer to Deedra and I ! Sunday was a great day ! I’m so happy Deedra brought be to experience your hospitality and your food !! Thank you for being Amazing!! ❤️“

“We did the 7 course chef’s tasting menu and it was amazing. Robby took care of us that night and he was great! He was very knowledgeable, professional and took our preferences into account. It’s a small intimate setting, with a few indoor tables and outdoor tables. Overall, great service and multi course fine dining experience.“

“My newest and favorite spot in Scottsdale has to be Allegra. The pool, the music, the overall vibe—everything about this place just hits.

But honestly, what made our experience unforgettable was our host, Taylor G. They made everything so fun, easy, and completely stress-free for our group. From start to finish, we felt taken care of. The food recommendations were on point, and the cocktails? Consistently some of the best we had all trip.

If you’re looking for that perfect mix of fun, sexy, poolside day drinking or even a smooth nightcap vibe, this spot absolutely delivers. And if you get Taylor, you’re in even better hands—they won’t let you down.

Highly recommend.“

“The food and service was excellent, but the noise was terribly loud so we couldn't talk amongst ourselves at the table despite being seated in the perimeter of the restaurant. We had several in our party that are hearing challenged and despite wearing their hearing devices, they couldn't communicate with the rest of the table or the server.“

“The cuisine and craft cocktails. Excellent service too.“

“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.“

“This place is AMAZING! Great espresso martinis in the perfect setting!“

“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!“

“Omg the food and frozen Paloma was AMAZING. I got the carne asada tacos. The salsas are delicious. Trust me, im Hispanic lol. The prices are surprisingly cheap!!! The owner was the only one working and he was great! Honestly this is my new taco spot!“

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

“Wonderful brunch. Generous portion.“

“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!“

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

“Fun Saturday night out. Lively atmosphere bit loud for my taste. Pasta Bolognese was delightful the arabiata pasta was as it says spicy just could have been less soft not al dente as asked. 🙄 puff pastry with artichoke and cream cheese was a big hit“

“The chicken coop was excellent and we got our food super fast and it was hot great service“

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

“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!“

“The best dining experience I’ve began a year with. The food is high quality and I will be returning soon for more cauliflower“

“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!!!!!“

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

“We recently moved to this area from Hawaii and I was convinced we would never have good sushi here u til we found Kay Sushi. They have great food that is very fresh and well balanced. I love their tempura, it is very fresh, light and crispy. My favorite dish here is the special with blue fin tuna from Fuji, Seattle salt and pickled wasabi root. They also offer fresh wasabi and pickled wasabi. My family goes here at least once a week.“

“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. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

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

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

“Crust is a FABULOUS restaurant to go to,! We used to just go EVERY Friday to start our weekends however, we have now progressed to Sundays and throughout the week as well! The food is ALWAYS CONSISTENTLY Delicious! THE New dishes that are added to the menus are AMAZING,!! THE BEST Part IS...the staff, the managers as well as the wait staff are AMAZING!! THEY ARE OVERLY FRIENDLY AND JUST SIMPLY AWESOME!! As I stated before,the food is prepared to your liking in a DELICIOUS AND FABULOUS MANNER!!

WE TRY to visit all of the locations.....Each one is different, however the food is ALWAYS OUTSTANDING AND PLEASANT AND INVITING. WE LOVE CRUST And ALWAYS LEAVE WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACE AND TOTALLY SATISFIED!!“

“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 .“

“They are amazing. Great food, awesome mixology and the service is exceptional. I will be back… Peace & ❤️“

“Great restaurant right across from Fashion Square. It is family owned and you can feel it with the personal attention given by the staff and flavorful menu. Great for date night or dinner with friends. Also has brunch on the weekend!“

“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.“

“Beautiful place and amazing dishes and Cocktails are truly the best! 5 star ⭐️“

“The JW Marriott Camelback Inn’s Lincoln Steakhouse had a relaxed, upscale vibe—moderately busy during dinner. Service was friendly and attentive, though one party faced delays and steak issues (manager handled it warmly). Portions were generous, with standout dishes like short rib and chocolate mousse. Parking was easy near the resort. A small suggestion: maybe streamline entree timing for consistency. Overall, a pleasant, if occasionally uneven, dining experience.“

“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..“

“Legitimately a good solid restaurant. Don’t let the fact that it’s on a golf course deter you from checking it out. I’ve been there twice, first time I tried the chicken sandwich which was very good, then second time I tried the pizza which was also very good. I think if you’re looking for something that’s low-fuss and delicious don’t look any further.“

“Good food and service great“
