Pita Jungle

Where else can one find both an allergen chart and a nutritionist’s bio on the menu, for those who are so health conscious they have to know what’s in everything they eat? We love Pita Jungle for this, and for a whole lot more: its eclectic blend of fresh ingredients; creative way with wraps and […]

Pizzeria Virtu

While much of Old Town Scottsdale leans into the glitz and glamor of the area and its clientele, it’s still possible to find cozy, warm and welcoming spaces to enjoy an expertly crafted meal in this East Valley city. Pizzeria Virtu is proof. This little spot inhabits a house, complete with a backyard patio. There, […]

Pranksters Too

Offering two bars in one, this popular Scottsdale spot is a haven for both jock types and music fans. The main bar boasts more TVs than a Best Buy, each broadcasting the latest athletic events and highlights, and always seems to be populated by college kids, sports nuts, and weekend warriors. Meanwhile, the Jester Room […]

Praying Monk

The latest of chef and restaurateur Aaron May’s string of restaurant concepts, this casual, yet sophisticated modern American beer caf

RA Sushi Bar & Restaurant

Ra’s Old Town location is as much about the scene as it is the sashimi. The trendy eatery has a bright crimson color scheme (including red walls and glowing light fixtures), as well as a posh party atmosphere. The patronage skews young, as it’s often filled with the date night crowd and twentysomethings downing cans […]

Rehab Burger Therapy

From three former executives of Oregano’s, this fun, beach-themed spot in Old Town serves up each of its satisfying burgers in two different sizes: As 10-ounce Rehab monsters and more manageable five-ounce options called Relapses. Featuring well-seasoned ground chuck, a lightly toasted brioche bun, blanket of melted cheese, and choice of toppings, best bets are […]

Relish Burger Bistro at the Phoenician

Located on the Phoenician resort’s golf course, Relish Burger Bistro’s ambience screams “hotel restaurant!” Pricey burgers are juicy but not greasy, served on brioche buns and piled high with dressings that include standards like cheddar cheese and bacon and more adventurous stuff like pickled jalapenos and fried eggs. Tater tots are served with each burger […]

Red Revolver Lounge

Cowboy 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

RnR

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 […]

Roadrunner Lounge

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 […]

Roaring Fork

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! […]
