A LOCAL'S GUIDE TO MAKING THE MOST OF OLD TOWN SCOTTSDALE
6:00am
Dive Bar Mornings
Early flight in? Recovering & need hair of the dog? Our town has you covered! Coach House, one of the town's oldest bars, opens at 6AM with great-priced drinks, a dim interior, as well as a beautiful patio. After that, head to Pattie's - they open at 8AM for the best Bloody Marys!
8:00
Breakfast Done Right
Old Town has many delicious breakfast & brunch locations, including Morning Squeeze, Montauk, Farm & Craft and Breakfast Club, all offering great patios. Schmooze is a beautiful hidden gem! JoJo's is the most popular but make sure to show up early!
12:00 PM
Lunch Like a Local
Lots to choose from in Old Town! For patio lunches, Olive & Ivy offers a beautiful outdoor area, Diego Pops has great specials, and Loco Patron right on Scottsdale Road offers the best people watching! Some other local favorites are Craft 64 for pizza, Moxies, Cornish Pasty Co, and Karsen's Grill.
3:00 PM
Shop and See the Town
Walk around Scottsdale Waterfront on Stetson, just south, and you will find amazing, unique shops, Instagram-worthy photo spots, and art galleries - it's a beautiful active area during the day! Old Town's main downtown area off Main & Brown has the Civic Center Park with beautiful sculptures, many Native American jewelry & art shops, cute bars, and all of those great tourist treasures to take home!
5:00 PM
Sunset Dinner & Drinks
Start off at Outrider Rooftop Lounge on top of the Hilton, or Cielito, our newest addition to Old Town that offers the best views with small bites and drinks. Local dinner favorites include: multi-course fine dining at Cafe Monarch, steak at Mastro's City Hall, sushi at Uchi, our new award-winning coastal Mediterranean cuisine spot PINYON, and if you dare, lick the salt wall at The Mission!
7:00 PM
Pregame and Nightlife
We all know clubs can be expensive! So we recommend starting off in the club district at some local bars: Giligin's, DJ's, and Goodwood to pre-game. From there, you have many choices: Boondocks & Hot Chick open early and are great places to watch games and fights. Just around the corner are 50 Shades of Rose and Almost Famous! When you are ready for the full club district experience AKA 'The Vortex', all locations are situated side by side: Riot House, Bottled Blonde, MAYA, Casa Amigos, Hi-Fi, El Hefe, Whiskey Row, and others will keep the party going all night!
