Showing 661 - 682 of 940Cowboy chic abounds at nightlife entrepreneur Steve McDonald’s latest creation, which oozes a mix of Western flair and Scottsdale style. Very little remains of the old SIX Lounge (which formerly occupied the spot), as the establishment has been rebooted into a much roomier den of drinking, dancing, and debauchery. An entirely new d
Rift has served a selection of craft beer and boutique wines from its Scottsdale taproom and bottle shop since 2020. Inside the comfortable industrial-style space, you’ll find knowledgeable staff who can help you choose from one of the 25 beers on tap and dozens of wines. On a recent visit, we saw local craft beer […]
This no-frills, BYOB restaurant stuck in a Scottsdale strip mall doesn’t seem like much, but inside awaits a neighborhood Italian joint that serves comforting classics. Pick whatever you want – like lasagna, linguini clams (red or white), or chicken cacciatore – for your main meal, but try the bruschetta first. Italian garlic bread is topped […]
RnR is the latest joint from Valley nightlife impresarios Les and Diane Corieri, the couple behind clubs like Axis/Radius and Suede. The Corieri’s newest spot is unlike any of the other establishments in their empire, serving as a laidback restaurant and drinkery with a relaxed atmosphere. It boasts funky décor that’s imbued with mid-century modern […]
This south Scottsdale establishment feels worlds away from Old Town and ticks all the cozy neighborhood tavern boxes. Photos of current and previous patrons on the walls, check. Crock-Pot on the potluck table, check. Full crowd participation in Johnny Horton singalongs, check. Previously Bucky’s and Castaways, the Roadrunner Lounge was run by mother and daughter […]
Tenderloin glazed with whiskey, fondue with lamb chops, Big Ass burgers that are, well, big-assed: These are but a few of our faves at this American bistro and saloon. The green chile pork stew is served in a cast-iron pot, and the place serves up a pork porterhouse that could even choke Cedric the Entertainer! […]
It’s safe to say that the Scottsdale landscape has more than a few clubs devoted to dance music and electronica. Which is why a nightspot that specializing exclusively in rock & roll like this recent Old Town arrival tends to stand out among the rest. According to its owners, the two-level Craftsman Court spot will […]
Previously known as one of the Valley’s favorite hangouts for hepcats, the Rogue is still the kind of dank-yet-dope place that features indie types sucking down PBRs, local rock bands performing onstage, girly-pants-wearing hipsters mingling about, and its infamous graffiti-covered bathroom. Just make sure you don’t park in front of the convenience store next door, […]
Scottsdale’s uber-stylish Roka Akor, a spin-off of London-based Roka, sets itself apart from the Valley’s myriad other Japanese restaurants by specializing in robatayaki, Japanese-style grilled dishes; a few are traditional, but many have a creative, contemporary spin. Of course, there’s sushi here, too, as well as other top-notch tapas-style dishes. Honey-glazed grilled duck breast, butterfish […]
A genuine historic landmark, the Rusty Spur fits Old Town Scottsdale’s penchant for Western kitsch like a tasseled glove. The compact building started life as a circa-1920s savings and loan (the city’s first), later becoming a saloon in 1958. Back then, liquor was stored in the vault and cowboys and cowgirls slaked their thirsts. These […]
