Wasted Grain delivers an electric night out with live music, solid drinks, and a venue that balances energy and comfort. Their indoor stage setup is great for catching bands, and the outdoor patio brings fresh air, ambient lighting, and a relaxed lounge feel. The sound quality is clear without being overwhelming, and the design, industrial meets garden lounge, makes it a striking spot. Drinks and food offerings keep pace, and the overall vibe feels curated and fun. If you’re into live music nights that feel immersive and elevated, Wasted Grain is a go-to in Scottsdale

Went twice during my brother's bachelor party weekend and had fun both times. Live band was great. Only dropping a star because when I bought a round of 11 shots, the bartender told me I didn't need to tip because I spent over $150 and gratuity of 22% was already added in, so I would be charged twice if I tipped. Was caught off guard by this. I didn't see any signs at the bar about this, and usually I tip $1-$2 a shot not $4-$5, that's a significant difference. If there were then I'll take some blame. Probably need better signage or at least say something before. I could have at least bought 2 rounds of 5-6 shots to avoid this.

I rented this bar out for a corporate event. We had an amazing experience! All of our guests were raving on the private space and live cover band. We added karaoke at the end of the night and singing with the band made it 10 times better. The staff was accommodating and so great to work with. I would definitely recommend doing a buy out for your next event!

Best time in Old Town. The musical acts are some of the best in the area.

Security guards were on a power trip and laid 3 grown men on my 120 lbs hard of hearing girl friend for not hearing instructions. They did not bother having a conversation before asserting dominance. The security cameras apparently were not working when we were admitted into the building before security freaked out
Great place bartenders very observant and take care of buissness

I have gone to this bar a numerous amount of times and usually always have a great experience. 95% of the staff is always very kind and helpful- hence the 3 stars.
However, I would like to highlight a particular experience that occurred last night, on Saturday 8/2/25. I have never experienced such blatant dis-respect from a staff member until this particular experience. I was ordering a drink at the upstairs “ski” section of the bar (on the right side) when I politely asked the bartender if he was able to make a specific drink, which he rudely screamed “NO” in response to my request. I then ordered an alternative drink, where he rudely screamed “CASH OR CARD” where I responded “card.” I was planning on handing my phone over for Apple Pay. He then rolled his eyes, ignored my order, and walked away. I was taken back by this and left in utter confusion, especially since typically, the payment method is asked at the END of the order. He then eventually circled back to me where I again ordered the same order and he screamed even more aggressively “CASH OR CARD!!!!”. I then responded the same as before, where he then decided to skip past me again, walk away, and ignore me to the point I had to leave and order from a different section of the bar. I am always incredibly polite when ordering, and have never been so taken back by an experience with a bartender and have never been treated with such disrespect. The entire rest of my night my ruined by this interaction. I have also never been asked “to pay”, or for my “payment method” before my order is even fulfilled.
Maybe this particular bartender was just having a bad night, but that does not excuse the blatant disrespect and uncalled for treatment. I am leaving this review so that the Wasted Grain staff is aware that they have a staff member that is actively treating customers like this. I am sure I am not the only customer who has been treated like this by this particular bartender. Thank you.

UPDATE JULY 2025: We hosted another amazing party at Wasted Grain to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. It was again such an easy and fun experience. Working with Robert beforehand was a breeze, and I really appreciated his responsiveness. Our two servers on the day of the event were so kind and helpful as well. I can't stress enough that this is the place to host your next event! So much fun! Thank you, WG!
This is a well-overdue review, but we hosted a party of about 50 people the evening before our wedding day in October 2023. The staff was so communicative and easy to work with. We had SO MUCH FUN. It was honestly one of my favorite memories from our wedding weekend!

Nice bar with great live music. It gets packed so be prepared. Food was good and service was decent
