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.“

“Great local watering hole.“

“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!“

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

“HAPPY birthday Josie! Our group was visiting town and she rocked the bar solo all night. Thankfully, everyone was was pretty chill but she managed to handle everyone even when it got auper busy. A+. The place is rad, and perfect for a local neighborhood hang. If I lived near it, I'd be there pretty frequently.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by Groggy’s Bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s a large, classic dive-style bar with a dark laid-back vibe, plenty of pool tables, and music playing even in the middle of the day that made the place feel fun and lively without being overwhelming. The food was surprisingly great and definitely exceeded expectations for a bar spot. If you’re looking for a casual place to hang out, play pool, grab drinks, and enjoy good food, this is a solid choice.“

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

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

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

“You have to be there.
In person. Wear what you want. Drink what you want. Play your favorite music and chill. It's my new favorite haunt.
Jello shots. Not Ocean.
Jello Shots! Whiskey Orange. BlackBerry. And Lemonade. Order an extra shot to wash it down. Don't lick the jello out of the bottom of the cup. Use your extra shot.
⚠️📌 there's only ONE pinball machine. Not 3. Only dumb Southpark.
🎱 Really nice pool table“

“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome dive bar! We flew in early from TX and landed at 8am. Couldn't check in to hotel until 3 so I googled somewhere to go and this place opens at 6am 🙌👍
Did some day drinking and shot a lot of pool! Staff and guests were all super friendly.“

“My boyfriend and I love kittys!! We discovered it about a month ago even tho we’ve lived in the area for years and now we are here every week. Cheap drinks, 8 pool tables (50 cent games) and the staff is always friendly. Usually quiet in here even on weekend nights. Would love to see them get more business (even if that means waiting for a pool table)“
