I’ve lived in Old Town for years. This is the best bar in Old Town, the food is better than most restaurants as well. Staff is outstanding, everyone wants to work there. Bad experiences can happen but I’ve never really had one and I’ve been in 100’s of times. I wouldn’t give up on this place.

On a Golf trip with 20 friends. Had a few drinks on the Monday night and then a meal and more drinks, spent over $980 on very average pub grub. The tour leader tipped the bar staff $100, reasonable tip for simply handing drinks out at the bar.
Went back on our last night and mate was charged $100 for 4 drinks as the female bartender felt she was short changed previously. There was polite conversation but we were asked to leave and escorted from the premises by an embarrassed security guard. Other groups of people were disgusted by this treatment.
Recommend that you don’t leave your credit card behind the bar and always check your change.
There are some great bars in Scottsdale and we didn’t let this experience spoil a great trip. Met lots of friendly and helpful people.

This is a nice spot for a drink and some good food. Casual fun with pool and darts, yet a nice selection of mixed drinks especially if you are into bourbon. It’s pretty dimly lit at night, but that creates a cozy vibe.

Fun little divish bar. Active with darts (electronic) a pool table. Lots of locals. Was here on a Wednesday night. While lots of bars were dead, this place had a lively crowd. Lots of TVs with games on and the bartenders were friendly. Did not try the food but looked like typical bar food.

This review is based on drinks only. I stopped here while wandering the Old Town area. This is a small and unassuming place compared to most other Scottsdale bars. The bartender was attentive but not overly chatty. All in all kinda boring.

Went in there to get a different feel from all the 'clubs' in Old Town/Scottsdale. This place was it! Laid back with real people and real people working. They even had my favorite bourbon, WELLER! Food is different and good too! I would go back and I would recommend to friends.
