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 […]

Rita’s Kitchen is the casual, Southwestern eatery tucked inside Camelback Inn, the place where hotel guests can go for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and locals can soak up the Sonoran charm.

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, […]

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 […]
