About This Spot
Buck & Rider brings a coastal seafood vibe to the desert, with fish and shellfish flown in daily and a lively bar scene that locals swear by. The North Scottsdale location feels upscale but relaxed, with a mix of date-night couples, business meetups, and groups of friends posted up for happy hour on the patio or at the bar. Their bar program is a big deal here—think handcrafted cocktails built with premium spirits, plus a solid beer and wine list that actually matches the seafood-forward menu. Happy hour is where the value really shines, with discounted signature cocktails, raw oysters, and other provisions that make it easy to sample the good stuff without blowing your budget. If you love oysters, sushi, or a well-made martini, this is a must-try spot.

Absolutely perfect happy hour
This is what happy hour should be. Kyoto Sour was incredible - you can tell they use quality ingredients. The Edna’s Picnic Chicken Snack was the perfect complement. Can't wait to bring friends here. Seafood is fresh and delicious.

Impressed overall
Had a great time here. The Kyoto Sour was well-made and reasonably priced for happy hour. Tuna Crispy Rice was tasty. Only minor issue was it was crowded, but I'd still recommend it for celebrating. Best raw bar happy hour.

Absolutely perfect happy hour
Came here for happy hour and was blown away. The Kyoto Sour was perfectly crafted and the Fresh Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls disappeared in minutes. Service was on point and the beautiful patio really sets the vibe. Highly recommend! The oysters were incredible.

Good vibes and good drinks. The Santo Andrea Spritz was one of the better ones I've had lately. J.T.’s Broilers (charbroiled oysters) was solid too. Place gets busy so come early if you want to snag a good seat. The oysters were incredible.
