My burger came well done, (ordered medium), waffle fries were so so. Ambience was nice other than the music seemed too loud, even my 20 yr old GD agreed. I was very surprised at the limited menu. read more

Great for Drinks, But Disappointing Dinner and Service Discrepancies Our party of 5+ visited AZ88 for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations across service, atmosphere, and food quality. Upon arrival, the host failed to direct me to my reservation table, forcing me to almost call my friends to find them. The receptionist did apologize immediately and showed me to the table . The atmosphere is very loud and high-energy, primarily because the open bar area flows directly into the dining tables. If you are looking for a quiet dinner conversation, this is not the ideal venue. The dinner menu itself felt somewhat limited. I ordered the Halibut served with French beans and roasted potatoes. The fish was underwhelming, lacking both flavor and seasoning. Furthermore, the baby potatoes did not appear to be thoroughly washed, as I unfortunately bit into grit multiple times. The other members of our party ordered the ceviche, nachos, burgers, Asian shrimp, and roasted chicken, which they reported were acceptable but unexceptional. Logistically, parking is highly convenient, and the restrooms are located in the back-left corner wall of the establishment. However, a major inconvenience arose during the payment process: they do not offer tableside QR codes or mobile card readers for digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Instead, guests using these methods must either hand over their unlocked phone or physically walk to the counter to tap and pay next to the kitchen. Overall, while AZ88 might be a suitable stop if you are bar-hopping for drinks, I cannot recommend it as a dinner destination. read more

After we ate at pinyon, my friends and I wanted a martini so we thought this would be the perfect spot. Our waitress was not the friendliest. In case you didn't know, a lot of their martinis are made with Smirnoff vodka. My friend asked for a different vodka for one of her martinis. Unfortunately, She didn't love the drink. Our waitress told her "well you changed the vodka so you will still need to pay for it" How rude. We didn't love the experience and I'm not sure if I'd want to come back. read more

Came here for our girl's night out, love the inside moon and clouds, and outdoors offers plenty of seating as well. Jack, our server, was super friendly and accommodating. They're known for their martinis, so of course I had to try a couple. Their French martini was fantastic. I am sad that they were out of the gin used to make their Rose Gold martini, so I went with the espresso martini instead. Oh well, gives me a wonderful excuse to come back. We tried their flatbread as a snack. It was very good, and even my friend who does not like bacon or olives also really enjoyed it, so that's a good sign. read more

We visited this location on Saturday, July 18, at 7:30 p.m. to celebrate both a birthday and our wedding anniversary. Since this location just opened a few weeks ago, we were excited to check it out. One of the newest features is that they now accept online reservations, which is a great addition since reservations were not previously available. This location can get very busy, especially on weekends. For parking, you have the option of valet parking for a fee or using the parking garage for free, which is a convenient alternative. When we arrived, there was a hostess outside who added our name to the waitlist. Our table was ready in about 25 minutes, which we were very happy with, especially on a busy Saturday evening. We were seated on the outdoor patio with the misters. Just a heads-up: the restaurant turns the misters off when the temperature drops below 90 degrees. Although there was a nice breeze that evening, we still would have preferred for the misters to stay on a little longer. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. For dinner, we ordered three of the grilled chicken breast entrées, a shrimp dish, a hamburger with fries, and a couple of cocktails. The chicken entrée normally comes with a cabbage salad, but due to the recent produce recalls, it was substituted with tomatoes. Guests also have the option to substitute another vegetable or side. I chose to substitute mine with fries. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The only area that could use improvement is the billing process. We noticed a service fee listed on the receipt, and it wasn't immediately clear whether it was intended to be the gratuity or an additional charge separate from the tip. We recommend that the restaurant and servers clearly explain this fee before guests pay their bill. Doing so would help avoid confusion and prevent customers from unintentionally tipping more than they intended because they believed gratuity had not already been included. Overall, we had a wonderful experience celebrating our birthday and wedding anniversary. The food, service, and atmosphere were enjoyable, and we look forward to visiting again. read more

Date of visit: June 6, 2026 We stopped here as part of Arizona Food Tours, though I had actually been here once before, several years prior to their most recent remodel. This is the sister restaurant to a Milwaukee favorite, Elsa's on the Park (though locals just call it Elsa's), and it's easy to see why, from the eclectic, fun menu to the diverse crowd and strong emphasis on art. As part of the food tour we sampled their homemade chips with hot sauce and bleu cheese along with Neuske's bacon-wrapped water chestnuts (IYKYK) accompanied with honey for dipping. I'm not crazy about bleu cheese or hot sauce, but the chips were actually quite good. And the water chestnuts were excellent, the bacon not too crispy and the honey was a nice additional touch! I also had an NA Moscow Mule and I loved it, even though it had a little cucumber in it. Staff were very attentive as well, ensuring our water glasses were never too empty, which was appreciated on a warm June day! read more

Drinks are sweet and so is the staff! I like my huge martini full to the top. Beautiful space.

This place is located in the perfect spot in Old Town Scottsdale. It was our first time in Arizona and was recommended this place by our tour guide. I was pleasantly surprised how swanky this restaurant vibe is and is also very lovely inside with outdoor seating. The prices, food, and service were excellent! The food was delicious. I ordered the full sandwich and had no idea how big it was going to be! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

AZ88 is a Scottsdale classic for a reason--famous for martinis that are easily among the best in town (watch out Durant's). They're served filled right to the brim by impressively steady waitstaff who somehow don't spill a drop--you'll need to take a sip before even picking up the glass. The glassware itself is part of the experience: a signature shape that fans out slightly, adding to the presentation and making each drink feel a bit more special. It's these little details that elevate the whole visit. A long time Scottsdale staple, AZ88 has that rare mix of longevity and style. This is the kind of place you bring people when you want to impress--confident, polished, and consistently delivering. read more

Oh my - the espresso martinis here are worth the hype! We popped into AZ88 with the only intention to try these out after having dinner next door at Pinyon. They came out filled to the brim, cold, frothy, and truly delicious. I loved that I could get mine decaf! Really appreciated that. Boy was it packed! There were only two of us and we were told it'd be an hour wait if we wanted a table, or we could try some seats at the bar. We chose the latter. It took us about 10-15 minutes to find two open spots next to each other; but we're glad we did. There were all kinds of people visiting, bachelorette parties, corporate employees in suits, casual patrons, and loud ones lol. Downside was that the waiter that served us was a little rude. I get that he was completely slammed but answering your kind and patient patron with "you already did" after I simply asked "can I ask you a question?" was just off putting. I genuinely wanted to learn more about why the name was what it was. He finally explained that they opened in 1988 which a few of us enjoyed to hear. Idk - just be kind. It's free. Would I come back? Probably not at 8pm on a Saturday night. But yes, definitely during a slower time. read more

Great service! We had only stopped by for a drink on our way to our dinner reservations and we sat down pretty quickly and when our drinks came out they were filled up to the brim! I do want to go back to check out their food. The space itself is very chic and has some unique decor that makes it very aesthetically pleasing. read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and we were seated on the patio. They have a misting system that is amazing and allows you to enjoy your time and dinner. It was very crowded and parking is bad, but they do offer valet, if you choose. Our server, Shayla was awesome. She was professional, friendly and stayed on top of us for refills and drinks. I ordered the Civic Center Chop salad. It was really good and the honey lemon dressing that goes with it was so flavorful. I would definitely come back to try their other foods. read more

I love the atmosphere of AZ88. We sat outside on a Saturday evening and it was beautiful. We only waited about 30 minutes to get seated as a party of 2 without a reservation beforehand. Our waiter was nice enough and the food came in a timely manner. I ordered the grilled cheese with pumpernickel bread and thought it was good. I liked that it came with a pickle. My friend and I agreed that although the food and drinks weren't anything too special, the ambiance and energy of the restaurant itself was made it worth it. read more

We arrived at 4:30 on a Thursday with a group of 6 for an early birthday dinner. The restaurant was decorated nicely with a large holiday tree in the middle and special snow lighting. Unfortunately AZ 88 does not take reservations which is a disappointment. The inside tables were already full with only a couple of spots left at the hi-tops so we sat outside at a table for six. It was chilly but they do have above head heaters. They could actually use more heaters for the patio as we were all still a little cold and we wore coats. The patio filled up quickly so I'm glad we arrived at 4:30 or could have been waiting for a while. Our server was Bryson. I can't say enough good things about Bryson. He was simply excellent. Probably one of the best servers I've ever come across in a very long time. He was friendly, efficient and never left us waiting for service. Always offering suggestions and kept things flowing. Bryson had several large groups he handled all in his own. A true professional. We started with cocktails and moved into food. I ordered a dirty martini and it was actually filled to the rim with an icy surface. Thank you AZ 88! A bar that understands how a martini should be served. My companions all ordered martinis and they were all made perfectly. For appetizers we ordered the flatbread and the Rumaki (bacon wrapped chestnuts). Honestly the flatbread could have used more time in the oven and didn't have much flavor considering how many ingredients but the rumaki was super tasty. The bacon was crispy with honey for dipping. For dinner I ordered the Bigger Mac Burger per Bryson's suggestion. I asked for medium and it was cooked perfect medium. It came with waffle fries. Everyone said they enjoyed their burgers and chicken sandwiches. We also asked for small side dips, etc. and Bryson brought everything correctly. Usually a server always forgets the side dips but Bryson remembered everything. He also brought a dessert for the birthday girl and offered to take photos which we very much appreciated. I really enjoyed AZ88 except for the fact you can't make reservations and not enough heat in the patio. Other than that, we had a nice experience. Ask to sit in Bryson's section and you won't be disappointed with service. read more

Came here with some friends on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy and crowded. It took us maybe 30-40 minutes to get seated for dinner, so we just got drinks while waiting. My friends got an F'n Cucumber and a Dirty Martini, which they both enjoyed (the F'n Cucumber was gooodd). I got a Tequila Tease (mocktail) for $10 and it was really tasty. While the drinks were really good, the food felt like an afterthought. We ordered Hell's Fire Chips as our appetizer (it was alright with the spicy sauce they gave us, I'm personally not a big fan of the bleu cheese but my friends are), Caesar Salad, and a sandwich. Everything was just alright, and our server was also lukewarm. I will say the vibe was very interesting and unique though, mixing "night out at the bar" and "elevated dinner vibes" read more

Unique, creative appetizers in generous quantities were so good I never got to the entree. As a martini drinker I was impressed with the two page martini menu which included both classics and inventive selections. I enjoyed a vodka martini with a twist, it was ice cold and possibly the largest martini I have ever had. Other reviewers noted the architecture and ambience were worth the visit. It was a very cool vibe with the exception of the booth seat badly needing to be reupholstered, it actually was torn open. That surprised me. They also mentioned a rotating art exhibit, which was a draw for me, I saw no evidence of an art exhibit so that was disappointing. The prices were reasonable and our server was a hoot, she enhanced the whole evening. Recommended. read more

AZ88 is a nice looking bar/restaurant in the Scottsdale Civic Center area. The place is aesthetically pleasing with a nice looking in-door and outdoor area. The doors to the bathrooms are the walls themselves which I found interesting; not to mention its sleek design. I decided to try The Bigger Mac; it's not a double patty like McDonald's but it's definitely a big burger. I got it with fruit and most of the fruit was fresh; some a little too sour. The service was a bit slow though. Overall, it cost me $22.98 (includes tax and tip). read more

Food was pretty decent for the most part, although the ceviche didn't have very much shrimp and was mainly just pico de gallo. Food is decently priced for being in Scottsdale, but I wouldn't say it's anything that special. read more

AZ88 is such a vibe like every time I go, it somehow feels new and even cooler than the last. They're always switching up the atmosphere, and it keeps things fun, fresh, and a little unexpected. Let's talk about the drinks... the Porn Star is hands down the BEST. It's a must-order every single time. The food is also good can't go wrong with any of the burgers everything I've tried has been flavorful and perfect for sharing while catching up. This spot is ideal for a girls' night cute, lively, and just the right energy to hang, laugh, and stay a little longer than planned. And I have to say... the staff is amazing. Super friendly, attentive, and they really make the experience. Also... haha definitely check out the bathroom you'll see what I mean. Won't regret! Overall, such a fun, iconic spot read more

Seems like a common theme in the reviews is bad service. Me and my friend went the other night and we ordered all our drinks and food at the same time, the first time the waitress came up. Waitress obviously was annoyed to where even my friend had pointed out the weird looks when she walked by and dropped things off and how we were either ignored or received annoyed responses (things i noticed too) . However, that wasn't an issue until when we asked for the check. My friend asked if they took tap and instead of responding she very rudely said "give me your phone" and he asked what confused because i'm sorry what? and she again more annoyed said "give me your phone so i can take it to the back so you can pay?" as if it was common knowledge that she needed to take his phone all the way into the kitchen to pay and we were incompetent for not knowing. We obviously gave her the phone and she stormed off, came back and left the check and walked alway. I NEVER leave reviews on service because you never know what someone's going through but also she genuinely had to go out of her way to be rude to us. I would've recommended if the service was at least tolerable but from the dirty looks and blunt comments i don't think i'll be coming back here anytime soon, pretty place though, good food. read more

We checked this place out for lunch recently and had a good experience. The place is spacious and our group of 5 sat comfortably in a table with partial booth seating. They have several tables inside and seating at the bar. We started with the lox and chips. They had great flavor. My wife tried the buffalo chicken sandwich and I had the 7353 club. They don't have a kids menu, but we were able to share our entrees with my daughter. Our server was friendly and attentive. read more

The ambience inside AZ88 is exactly what you want from a Scottsdale cocktail spot. It's sleek, modern, and polished without feeling stiff. Unfortunately, when we arrived there was no seating available indoors, so we ended up outside. While the patio does have heaters, it was still pretty chilly, and the experience definitely suffered a bit because of that. I can imagine it being lovely during warmer months, but on a cold night it felt more like a compromise than a feature. That said, the espresso martinis completely stole the show. Easily some of the best I've ever had. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet, with a strong coffee flavor that actually comes through. If cocktails are your priority, AZ88 absolutely delivers on that front. I'd happily come back, ideally at a time when enjoying the interior is actually an option. read more

My friends frequent this location periodically and always rave about it. Recently, we dined here for a late lunch and was my second time stopping in. A place that serves a great martini is sure to always draw me in if I'm in the area, that's for sure! Both visits the service as been very friendly and they are easy going to make something vegetarian which I appreciate. Their food has very fresh ingredients and always enjoyed what items we have selected. Especially the dirty vodka martini with the ability to get blue cheese stuffed olives. Yum!
