Welcome to Scottsdale
The Food Scene
Scottsdale is home to a variety of unique backgrounds and tastes. Due to this, there are many great restaurants to choose from!
My favorite "go-to" for delicious American and Mediterranean food. It has a great atmosphere, reasonably priced and right on the Scottsdale Waterfront.
Local Tip: If it isn't too hot, try to get a spot outside!

Great food for any time of day with fun, trendy atmosphere. They do not take reservations so go a bit ahead of your intended time to eat. Worth the wait!

An amazing spot for not just its great food but really for its fantastic cocktails, AZ/88 will not disappoint. They’re well known for their espresso martinis and is located in the beautiful Scottsdale Mall area off of the Old Town strip. Very easy to get to and offers a scenic, short walk that will make you fall in love with Old Town!

Fantastic distillery bar owned by friendly locals. They are big on their flavored gin and vodka drinks which offer unique cocktail twists providing some fun for everyone! Also located near some nice shopping in downtown Old Town (and across the street from Coach House), it’s a nice place to grab a drink, relax and have a walk through town. Sizable patio too!
I love this place and always take friends and family here!

One of Old Town Scottsdale’s older bars, Coach House is a great place for people of all ages to start, stay or end the night. It goes all out on the holiday lights, offers cheap drinks and great conversation. A staple for any dive bar enthusiast (or just looking for some place a bit more low key compared to the rest of Old Town) coming to Scottsdale!

2.4 miles, Camelback Mountain (just North East of Old Town Scottsdale). Last but certainly not least, this is the most popular, landmark hike in the Phoenix Valley. It gives the best views of the Valley (260 degrees!) and is well worth the challenge. That being said, it is over 2,700 feet with just under half requiring use of hands every now and then due to the incline. It is highly-trafficked.
