Barstool Scottsdale was such a fun place to hang out with friends. We ordered the $75 Power Tower, and it was a really cool way for everyone to share and try a little bit of everything. It was loaded with wings, nachos, fries, mozzarella sticks, meatballs, and several other appetizers. The presentation alone made it worth ordering, and there was plenty of food for the group. We sat outside and really enjoyed the patio. Scottsdale is hot, but the constant water misters helped a ton and kept the seating area comfortable. Overall, this was a fun atmosphere and a great place to enjoy food, drinks, and time with friends. read more

Fun place to sit and watch a game! Sat upstairs and was just a great atmosphere. The food and drinks were equally enjoyed and people of all ages were welcome! Service was also great and we visited at a very busy time, during the waste management golf outing and superbowl weekend! read more

I don't often go to old town, but Barstool Scottsdale is the official venue for the University of Michigan Alumni Club, Phoenix's football watch parties. Which is no surprise because Dave Portoroy, the owner of Barstool, is a Michigan grad. I've checked out this sports bar twice, both on football Saturdays. With it being old town, parking isn't easy, but I've been able to find street parking both times a few minutes away by foot. Ambiance (4/5): Pretty awesome for a sports bar. There are a ton of TVs, which is number one for a sports bar. They play the sound during MIchigan games, which is very important. There's both a downstairs and upstairs area, both with their own bars. As well as a patio in the front. There are booths, high top seating, bar seating, and VIP areas. Despite the size of the bar, it gets packed which takes away from the experience for me. And at night, they have a DJ and they start blasting music, so the vibe changes. Service (3.5/5): For the watch parties, we have had our own waitress. She has done a good job both times taking care of a large group, which isn't easy. Outside of that, it can take a while to get your drink at the bar due to the crowds and not having enough bartenders. And the first time I was there, the upstairs bar wasn't open when the game started, so there were some logistical issues there. Food (3.5/5): Pretty solid for bar food. I've had the mozzarella sticks, giant pretzel, and the chips and three dips. The portion sizes for all three of the appetizers were generous, especially the latter two. The giant pretzel definitely lives up to the namesake. Good food to munch on as you're watching the game. Drinks (3.5/5): Barstool has a full bar so pretty much what you would expect at a sports bar: a decent list of cocktails, beer, seltzers, and wine. What stands out to me is their group drinks. I've done the giant margarita (for two people) and the giant Moscow mule (for two people). Beyond the presentation (huge glasses/mugs) that make an impression, it's always fun to do a group drink. The drinks are a little overpriced, but it is Old Town. If you're wanting to watch the game, Barstool Scottsdale makes for a solid choice. Go blue! read more

BARSTOOL REVIEW ***HALLOWEEN EDITION*** Absolutely do Halloween at Barstool with your friends. At least once. DJs were fire and so is the view from the top. Do or do not order a kamikaze, but expect a line at the door, queens. It's all part of the experience! read more

I was at Barstool Scottsdale during the NCAA tournament. We were looking for a place to watch the games and this certainly fit the bill. Seating is a challenge because the majority of booths are probably for bottle service or have a table minimum. We were able to get seating along the rail upstairs which was fine. Waitress still stopped by occasionally to check on us. I had a few IPAs (Church Music). They were cold. I didn't eat. This is a fun place to watch a sporting event but it is fairly generic. Probably won't have a bad time here but I imagine it is all based on your group. read more

The atmosphere is great and the drinks are reasonably priced. The food is average bar food. Maybe the burgers are a good bet. The turkey sandwich & egg sandwich were a bust. The service was great! I would have to give a suggestion: wipe down the menus! I felt I needed hand sanitizer after touching it. read more

Very energetic place in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Service was solid, food was very good. Specifically, the Turkey Avocado Club sandwich was my favorite. Highly recommend the pesto aioli. Seating is a bit odd and hard to gather with everyone. There are many places in Scottsdale that I'd like to try, but will be back sometime soon to try other menu items. read more

This place looked so vibey when I walked down along and saw it for the first time a month back!! So had quite wanted to try. There were a lot of people sitting in the lounge chairs outside, enjoying the sports games and socializing, and music was loud but not overwhelming on point for a happening sports bar lounge too. So when my friends decided to go here a week or so later I was all for it! It's a really spacious place inside, of course with lots of sports TVs throughout. You hear guys cheering and standing up and fist bumping and all when key plays happen, and it was a great place to be for the World Series games this year. Quite popular on Friday night, and not just for guys too. I wasn't even the hugest fan of Barstool from before or anything but really enjoyed the bar it's a vibe! Oh, and got High Noons here as per suggestion from a friend but they have cocktails here too and the staff are nice (at least the bouncer and bartender I met!) read more

Went in to meet a friend after work. Waited for at least 20 minutes before anyone came to ask me for a drink order. The bartender was too busy chatting with someone. And so I asked him for a drink when I finally got his attention and he said to ask the server....? What server? Will not be returning. read more

We came to watch a game of football. The music was bumpin' (there was a DJ). It was kind of chaotic. Definitely "party and get drunk" vibes, not "chill with some nice snacks and drinks and hang out" vibes. We were sat on the outdoor patio, got a few drinks, until it got way too hot then we had to leave. read more

My wife and I came to Barstool Sports Scottsdale to watch March Madness games here and this place is a vibe! Service here is outstanding, and Taylor our bartender was very kind and sweet and gave us solid food/drinks recommendations. This place definitely has all that you need when it comes to a sports bar: food/drinks, atmosphere, tons of TV, DJ, and more importantly ... friendly staff! We are Scottsdale locals and will definitely be coming back here! read more

If you're looking for a good vibe on a weekend night or a chill place to watch football during the day, barstools the spot. Food is nothing to write home about but it is decent. Service is always great. Jaylen is probably the best bartender in AZ, and Taylor is really great too. Love coming here. read more

Came here for some drinks late afternoon on a Sunday with some friends. The party I was with, was given a table in a reserved area. When we arrived, the tables were very sticky which they were cleaned immediately once we told the server but, having them that way when we arrived was a little bit of a bummer. Shortly after the tables were cleaned we ordered some drinks that took a bit, as well as all the follow up service. It is a sports bar with a casual vibe, extremely loud music and slow service. Not my kind of place. read more

If only my friend would've been allowed in... this review would be different. She's disabled, walks with a limp and struggles to fully use her hand. The door people, bottle service AND the manager had her do a sobriety test in front of everyone, assuming she was drunk even though she stated MANY times she was disabled. The sobriety test involved standing on one leg (remember how she can't do that well?) and counting on her fingers (this too) at the same time. She failed, because of course she would but she still tried to comply, despite her telling them of her disability. She was then LAUGHED at and turned away. She was belittled and humiliated in front of our group and the patrons of this discriminatint, disgusting establishment. You should not only be ashamed of yourself as a business, but as humans! Do better. read more

Nice and clean look from the outside and great location. They opened late but we were second in line and it official opened at 10:04am, TCU Baylor started at 10am. Nice welcoming from the bouncer spitting dip spit on the ground while we waited in line. They didn't have the TVs set up for the games when we came in but they got them on within 10 minutes. We sat upstairs and ordered espresso martinis- very good and I'd order them again. Our server wasn't very knowledgeable on the menu but it was her first day and she was very friendly and trying hard and keeping a positive attitude despite the card reader difficulties. She was nice and attentive. Overall I expected way more TVs for barstool. Pretty nice that they have outlets at the booth tables and would be very convenient for buying a table at nighttime. I hope they have a brunch menu eventually to cater towards morning games. read more

Eh, the beer is colder At Patties down the street. The tables are reserved which causes people to stand around and not know where to go. Plus big cat doesn't know ball. read more

I can't say I can rate the food or drink because we never ordered any. We walked out after waiting for a long time to even see a server. It was not busy. Seems to be run by children unfortunately. You can't even tell the person checking your ID is a staff member there. Went down the street and received service. Also just seemed off inside, idk if I would want to go there as a single woman. read more

Obviously a cool bar to visit if you want to catch a game. The food and drinks and service will be relatively average, but that's not what it's about! read more

Our server May was so wonderful, attentive, & helpful. She was so fun and personable, ask for her when you go in. Thank you May.

What a crap show. Got there on new years eve to see the concert. Was at the front waiting for two hours just to get TRAMPLED. I asked the bouncer to help and he just looked at me and said there was nothing he could do. I felt so unsafe that I left and was standing on the sidewalk at midnight. So disappointing. read more

Was good at the start. We stayed for 2 rounds of football games. By the afternoon games the place got crowded and then the staff at the bar (which is where we sat) became scarce. We went the second half of the bears game (the reason why we were there) without any service. When they finally came and spoke with us I asked of the tab and they charged our card with a 20% tip. The assumption that they deserved anything is why this review is here. We will stick to DraftKings for football. read more

Awesome place for game day!! Fun vibe without being too much, bumping music in between plays but the game was on at the exact right moment. Lots of appetizer options if you want to snack and drink buckets that are reasonably priced for old town. Fun vibe and close free parking. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by on Sunday, March 2nd. I was meeting some friends there before a spring training game. The website AND the front door said they opened at 10am on Sunday. I arrived at around 11:05 and the door was locked. I watched two employees enter shortly afterwards. When my friends arrived at 11:15, we attempted to go inside and were informed that they were "not open yet". read more

I had high hopes for Barstool. The best I can say is that it was average in all aspects. The food was mediocre and the service was pretty spotty. It has the potential to be much better but that is going to be up to management to fix things. If going on the weekend, get a reservation. Their reservation process is a joke. Have to email and wait. Whatever. That is totally silly. Maybe it gets better over time. read more

I'm not sure what's with the negative reviews here, this place rocks. Huge open, new space with 10/10 espresso martinis. Staff were so friendly, literally got checked on 4 times as I nursed my single Sunday funday drink (#lightweight). $40 for two cocktails doesn't phase me as a New Yorker, but heads up if that isn't in budget for you, as many reviews reference price. read more

We're big fans of Barstool Sports and Dave Portnoy. We were excited to go and check the place out. We walked in just as they opened and in less than an hour it was standing room only. The music was great and they had tons of TVs for watching whatever relevant sport was going on. This weekend it was the Iowa women vs S. Carolina championship game. Our waitress was a beautiful girl and handled the crowd well. We tried a few different cocktails and they were all very good. The food was hit or miss. My bacon, egg, & cheese croissant sliders were really good but the Loco Moco was meh and needed seasoning. I'm a little older than what the normal clientele would be so it isn't a place I would frequent if I lived in the area. It was fun for the day we were there and the experience. read more

Had a good experience here on the weekend. The place was very crowded, but I slid into a corner seat at the bar to watch some of the NCAA tournament. The bartender was Taylot, who was friendly and gorgeous. Ordered a few bud lights and the sliders and everything was good. It was two different sliders, one was bacon ranch cheddar and other was bourbon bbq. Fries were salty and battered in a good way. No pizza on the menu! read more

My husband and I popped in here on a Monday night to catch the last quarter of a playoff basketball game. Sports fans - this is a PERFECT place to catch your favorite games! They have TVs everywhere you look. We sat outside on their couches, the weather was great, service friendly, and we were happy campers! The ambiance is open and airy which is nice because on busy days, I don't see it getting very stuffy! I ordered a chardonnay and my husband a beer, so those are pretty standard, but we'll definitely be back for more munchies and cocktails. read more
