More than a dive bar. Arcade/bar games for the more economical drinker, not your spot if you’re looking for a craft cocktail.

Food

Our favorite! Great spot for happy hour or dinner, with indoor/outdoor seating. They have a raw seafood bar (flown in daily), and something for everyone on the menu. If you’re in between meals, their cocktails are also delicious! This spot gets busy, we recommend you call ahead.

Local pizza restaurant, right down the street from the house. Indoor/outdoor seating, lively atmosphere, and great food and drinks. If you’re a fan of Moscow Mules, they have a full menu of spin-offs for you to choose from. Another favorite restaurant of ours!

Neighborhoods

Location, location, location - chances are you’ve heard of Old Town Scottsdale. Just 5 minutes drive east and you’ll be at the epicenter of southwestern culture -- wastern bars, mexican cuisine and turquoise vendors. If so inclined, you can even stop into Scottsdale’s entertainment district (Bottled Blonde, Whiskey Row, El Hefe etc.) But you probably haven’t heard of Scottsdale’s quieter and quainter Arcadia neighborhood. Just 5 minutes drive west, and you’ll find yourself at the base of iconic Camelback mountain for a much more Phoenix-local experience. Scattered restaurants, wine and raw bars set amongst Phoenix’s famed orange trees (see 5 C’s of AZ). We enjoy both, see below for vetted ideas to send you in the right direction!
