Worth every penny
Stumbled upon this gem and so glad we did. The bartender recommended the Prickly-Pom Margarita and it did not disappoint. Margherita Pizza was fresh and flavorful. The beautiful patio makes it ideal for catching up with friends. Cocktail game is strong here.
Impressed overall
Really solid spot. The Prickly-Pom Margarita hit the spot after a long day. We shared the Cheeseburger which was delicious. beautiful patio was a nice touch. Will be back! These are serious cocktails.
Finally found my go-to
5 stars isn't enough. The well cocktails alone is worth the trip. We ordered the Sticky Ribs too and cleaned the plate. Atmosphere is upscale but approachable and the staff genuinely cares. This is the real deal. These are serious cocktails.
New favorite spot!
Came here for happy hour and was blown away. The well cocktails was perfectly crafted and the Crispy Wings disappeared in minutes. Service was on point and the beautiful patio really sets the vibe. Highly recommend! These are serious cocktails.
Great drinks, will return
Had a great time here. The Prickly-Pom Margarita was well-made and reasonably priced for happy hour. Cheeseburger was tasty. Only minor issue was it was crowded, but I'd still recommend it for a casual evening out. Cocktail game is strong here.
Absolutely perfect happy hour
The draft beers here is hands down the best I've had in Scottsdale. We also tried the Margherita Pizza and couldn't stop eating them. The beautiful patio makes this place perfect for date night. Already planning my next visit!

This is what happy hour should be. draft beers was incredible - you can tell they use quality ingredients. The Crispy Wings was the perfect complement. Can't wait to bring friends here. You can tell the bartenders know their craft.
Solid happy hour spot
Had a great time here. The house wine was well-made and reasonably priced for happy hour. Sticky Ribs was tasty. Only minor issue was parking was tricky, but I'd still recommend it for catching up with friends.
