Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You

We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

$15,000

Famous 48 is the latest undertaking of Square One Concepts – described as a tavern-themed restaurant, scheduled to open this fall Old Town Scottsdale. It will be housed in the 3,000 square-foot space that formerly was home to Crab & Mermaid, which closed in May. The updated interior of the space will feature leather horseshoe booths and banquettes, wood high tops with tufted honey leather bar stools, and a full-service indoor/outdoor bar featuring a solid walnut countertop offset by patterned tiles. The open-air patio will offer couches and fire pits.

The Famous 48 menu is composed of regional American dishes (they say from the “48 lower states”), like half roasted chicken, baby back ribs, roasted pork loin, salads, and sandwiches, along with cocktails, craft beers, and wines.

They plan to be open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight with a brunch on Saturday and Sunday.
