34 Best Dive Bars near Scottsdale

“Best dive in Scottsdale!! Just know it's CASH ONLY as any good dive should be.“

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

“Great drinks and even more amazing food! What a hidden gem this place is. I had one of my birthdays catered by the Rooster Tavern and it was budget friendly and delicious. Love the music on the weekends and trivia during the week.“

“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 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!“

“This place is great. I’ve been coming here for 8 years. Great staff who don’t take guff from people with condescending attitudes. This just happened, a guy who obviously wasn’t a regular went in with a bunch of cans and was told he and the person he was with couldn’t walk in the establishment with them, like any bar would say, and the gave her attitude back as if he wasn’t the A-hole.

He said back douchily that there were no trash cans outside. There was a giant industrial bin outside where it always is. So not only was he an A-hole, he was a liar. They were kicked out. Love places that don’t take guff from jerks.“

“What a cool place! Such character! Definitely going back.“

“Great local watering hole.“

“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.“

“Liz and the team at Neon Spur Bar are nothing short of amazing! From the moment you walk in, Liz makes you feel like a VIP. She attentive, and genuinely passionate about creating a great experience for everyone who comes through the door. Liz is 100% the best when it comes to hospitality. The atmosphere at Neon Spur is electric, the drinks are fantastic, and the service is always fast and friendly.“

“Love some good ol' fashioned pinball and loud music!“

“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!“

“just a fun place with amazing regulars. Cathy is amazing and always has a smile.“

“Highly recommend Eddie's Tavern. The owner is a great guy! If you are looking to have a fun night check out Eddie's, you will not be disappointed.“

“Was there last Sat. Great little place and the bartender Claire was awesome.“

“Place could use a facelift and the food was just okay nothing that stood out. Typical bar food of average quality. However the service and staff are phenomenal making the drab atmosphere and mediocre food worthwhile and worth coming back to.“

“this bar is a great place to hang out with a cozy atmosphere“

“The Rolls Royce of dive bars around Phoenix!
My first stop for a birthday bar crawl every year in December. More flavors of Jell-O shots than wheels on a semi truck and just as potent as you’d make at home. Touch Tunes, dart boards, and a pool table to entertain. Great service every time I’ve been there. Highly recommend stopping in for a drink.“

“A great valley jam which is open to all styles of music with friendly hosts.“

“As a member of the Band Quasar we just played our first gig Saturday night April 22nd. Great venue and the crowd was awesome, looking forward to playing here again. Tons of fun!“

“We truly have the BEST wings in Arcadia. Tuesdays is wing days.. Also fresh cut fries, made to order onion rings....“

“I love the runners bar thanks so much“

“Met some qaulity people at this local bar, it caught my attention while walking home from my neighborhood Grocery store...What caught my attention was the Wanderin has Karoake on the Weekends and it brought back fond memories watching my father who's singing w/ the angles now..he loved to sing, and always wanted me to sing but was too shy and needed liquid courage to get the nerve to grab the mic...lol! Also, they have pin ball machines ,darts, and pool tables, drinks are fairly priced great music, and the staff are really kind and make you feel like family...I have yet to try any food service so i dont know much on that...but if you're looking for a mom n pop kind've vibe ,mature crowd but there's a good time for younger group as well, go to sing your heart out ...off key or sing with some skills cause Ive heard some amazing talent ,that shouldnt be enjoyed by the masses in there...So if you want a night out with your freinds or family its a good time in my opinion, drama free and great energy ....!!!“

“This my "Cheers. Full of friendly and interesting people. Pool is cheap and drinks are cold. I'm positive to have a great time and leave renewed and happy. Laura and Joey and the whole team are amazing people. Stop in you won't regret it. Oh, did I mention you can take your own food in. One final note worthy fact is what ever your taste in music you're bound to find a show here for on any given night.“

“Great little local spot, got a bit crowded. Drinks were good, but service could be slow at times because there was only one bartender. They have two pool tables but only one is fully usable. I would recommend if you are looking to hangout with friends and meet some cool, friendly locals. Definitely will visit again next time I'm in town.“

“They have the best tombstone pizza ever!! With pretty bartenders that provide awesome service.“

“Everything is 5 star for sure. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars for all the categories is because I didn't eat the food, so I couldn't rate it here. But I gave it 5 stars for all the other categories. Great place for a friendly game of pool, and the bartender was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Best bartender I've ever had!!“

“Misty and her team are the best! This place is very welcoming with great food and drinks!“
