About This Spot
Citizen Public House is a polished Old Town Scottsdale gastropub where craft cocktails and comfort food get a serious glow-up. The space feels warm and upscale without being stuffy—think leather, wood, vaulted ceilings, and a stainless-steel bar that’s made for lingering over a well-made drink. Their Social Hour from 4–6 PM is the perfect way to ease into the evening, with access to their award-winning fare and thoughtful drink program at a friendlier price point than a full night out. Regulars swear by The Original Chopped Salad and rich, comforting dishes like short ribs, plus playful bites like bacon-fat popcorn to kick things off. It’s a go-to spot for date nights, business dinners, and pre-dinner drinks alike, especially if you appreciate serious cocktails served with genuinely welcoming hospitality.

Great drinks, will return
Good vibes and good drinks. The Barrel-aged cocktails was one of the better ones I've had lately. Short ribs was solid too. Place gets busy so come early if you want to snag a good seat. Cocktail game is strong here.
Really enjoyed this place
Had a great time here. The Barrel-aged cocktails was well-made and reasonably priced for happy hour. Short ribs was tasty. Only minor issue was service was a little slow during rush, but I'd still recommend it for catching up with friends. Cocktail game is strong here.
New favorite spot!
5 stars isn't enough. The Timeless classics alone is worth the trip. We ordered the The Original Chopped Salad too and cleaned the plate. Atmosphere is cozy and the staff genuinely cares. This is the real deal.
Finally found my go-to
The Inventive house cocktails here is hands down the best I've had in Scottsdale. We also tried the Bacon-fat popcorn and couldn't stop eating them. The sleek indoor space makes this place perfect for weekend plans. Already planning my next visit!
Worth every penny
The Timeless classics here is hands down the best I've had in Scottsdale. We also tried the Bacon-fat popcorn and couldn't stop eating them. The sleek indoor space makes this place perfect for after work drinks. Already planning my next visit! These are serious cocktails.
Whiskey lover's paradise
If you appreciate a well-made cocktail, this is your spot. The Bacon Old Fashioned sounds gimmicky but it's genuinely incredible. Bartenders really know their stuff.
