Live music was provided and it was wonderful. The pizza was also delicious! Yummy!

Service was good. Wings and BBQ pizza was good too. Dog friendly patio. Great views.

Ended up leaving without ordering. The older lady working the bar had a total attitude and was just not friendly. When we asked if they did wine flights or any kind of tasting menu she scoffed and said “um NO. We’re not that fancy” and went back inside. When we tried to order the one bottle of prosecco they have on the menu she rolled her eyes and said “uhhhh we don’t have that?” Like we were crazy. We showed her on the menu what we wanted and she said “we might have one bottle of another brand I’ll go get it and check the price” and disappeared inside again. We just left. Total total attitude and just not pleasant to talk to or deal with. Wouldn’t go back.

The hot pastrami here does not mess around. Probably my favorite sandwich in town. Top that off with a cold beer and some people watching on the patio and, it’s about as good as it gets.

The food was great, and the place was good. However, the service could be improved. Our waitress wasn’t very friendly. I will give them another chance.

Stumbled into The Back Door in Scottsdale, AZ, and what a gem! Lara, the bartender, is a perfect mix of fun and engaging—she won’t hover, but if you strike up a convo, she’s all in. The live music? Three musicians just vibing and riffing away, setting the perfect atmosphere—lively but not overwhelming.

I went for a classic Caesar salad, and it hit the spot! Crisp romaine, flavorful dressing, crunchy croutons, and juicy heirloom tomatoes—simple but done right.

If you're in Old Town Scottsdale, swing by and check this place out. You won’t regret it! Next time, I’m definitely coming back for the blackened shrimp.

Had a great time. Live One person music. Looking forward to great things coming to this place. It’s also a flow over from old town tavern.

We were going to a concert later that night and a couple other places were just too packed. We saw this place and could hear that there was live music. Went in, grabbed seats at the bar and waited. And waited. And waited. It wasn’t overly busy and the 2 bartenders clearly saw us sitting at the bar and continued to ignore us. We shouldn’t have to ask to be waited on. We are locals, not here for Spring training stuff, just wanted a drink and some food. Got tired of waiting so we left. I see on some other reviews that this is an issue. Maybe management should address this? Will most likely not be back as there are tons of options within walking distance.

As I often wander and find wonderlust in old town there's always a new discovery I was very skeptical apon entering this place I really enjoy Scottsdale town tavern vibe and Patty's vibe however I wasn't sure how the owner of the tavern was going to transition modern with dive bar vibe - that has stood through the turn of storms and rains and cheers and pains the Scottsdale tavern was an incredible creation and is a vibe of it's own however I think they nailed it with this bar it's modern but not to edgy musicians playing just about every day we'll priced the food in my opinion was incredible absolute top flavor almost cuisine style was quite unexpected from a bar the blackened shrimp I got was cooked to perfection whatever Chef is in that kitchen does not hold back if you are in a hurry do not go here cause this is a vibe and true jewel of a Scottsdale good vibes only !

This bar was great! It was very busy (probably attributed to the very talented live music act they had on stage). Despite how busy it was, Destiny and Brooklynn gave me some fantastic customer service. You can tell they had a lot o juggle but they made sure everything was attended to. And the food was very delicious! Would absolutely recommend (especially with the great service I got from the aforementioned staff)

Chill spot with live music.

A very nice quaint little place with a cozy atmosphere. My daughter and I had the blackened shrimp salad and it was delicious! As usual, drinks are priced on the higher side but that's Scottsdale for you. The 3-piece band that performed was amazing. We were there on a Tuesday night and it was a treat to have live music! This is a great place to grab a bite or drinks, kick back and listen to some live music. Perfect for date nights or a girls night out. I would highly recommend.
