I was in Old Town Scottsdale for Scottsdale Art Walk and ended up checking out Goldwater Brewing…read moreafter checking out some art. While it's not in the heart of Old Town, it's within walking distance. We stopped by on a Thursday around 9:30 p.m. While we were on foot, I noticed that they have a parking lot. Ambiance (4/5): Relatively small for a brewery, but your typical chill, brewery vibes. They have some seats at the bar, some high tops, and a small patio. We sat out on the patio since the weather was nice. The seats out there are a bit uncomfortable, but we couldn't pass up on patio weather. They have free water in the corner which is always a plus so you don't have to wait in line. Service (5/5): The bartender working was super nice. It's always appreciated when servers go above and beyond in providing a great experience. He was friendly, efficient, and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more in my service experience at Goldwater. He exceeded my expectations. Food (N/A): I already ate previously so no food for me. There was a Mexican food truck in the parking lot. Drinks (4/5): I love trying local brews. At breweries, I typically get a flight so I can try out a variety of beers. This time though, I went with a pint. I couldn't say no to the Sour Rangers. I grew up watching the Power Rangers, so that was all the motivation I needed. An added bonus was that this beer is a sour. Not something you have every day, nor a style of beer that you come across very often. So I had to take advantage of the opportunity. And it was a good one. Goldwater is my type of place. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

Met up with a few guys here after work on a Friday and the place was packed. Definitely a lively…read morelocal hotspot vibe. You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

Updated review: Outgrown…read more Definitely not the same spot I remember from when I used to frequent it. Stopped in a few times and unfortunately the vibe just isn't what it used to be for me. At one point I asked for change for pool and a water. The water showed up, the change never did. Not a huge amount of money, but little things like that leave an impression. A few of the bartenders have a certain je ne sais quoi.... unfortunately not the warm, welcoming kind. There's a level of attitude that just doesn't match my personal experiences or memories of this place. The crowd has changed too. Different energy, different vibe, and maybe just not one I blend with anymore. Suppose I've grown up and maybe it's time to move on. It's a shame because this place was genuinely a staple for me and earned those five stars once upon a time. Back then, it was the staff and the atmosphere that made it. Of the latest visits, the only person who carried that same familiar energy was Derek. He wasn't even behind the bar, but as always, it was a pleasure seeing him. Not the five-star spot for me that it once was, but maybe it's just become a place for the next generation.

My friend and I were…read morelooking for a bar to hang out on a Saturday night and we noticed there was live music at the Old Town Tavern. We were not disappointed at all!! The band, called "Dayweather" was awesome and they covered all genres from Beatles to Weezer including a lot of mash ups, which were so much fun! The played three sets! We thought about going somewhere else but the music, dancing and overall vibe kept us there. There is table service and even for a busy night it was very good. There is a really nice patio too when it is not too hot out. This place doesn't feel too bougie like some of the places in Scottsdale -- this is where the real people of Scottsdale go to relax and let there hair down! I had a great time and will definitely be back!

OK, well, better late than never. This is a review for Old Town Tavern's current location. OTT is…read moreone of my favorite bars in town. It's a very not-Scottsdale Scottsdale bar, which is to say that it's down-to-earth, unpretentious and not too pricey. It has an incredibly strong live music program, with music at least once a day and twice on weekends during the summer, and twice daily during high tourist season. I've found that people--regulars and visitors--are friendly and easy to talk to. OTT is closing in this location and will be reopening in the old Back Door space directly behind it. The space will be larger, but I expect the cold drinks, great music and good vibes will transfer well.

Awesome sports bar meets Irish pub!…read more I came here twice in the last year, and both times the people I came with were super excited about the bar.

Sam was our server and he was absolutely amazing--super friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations. Pro tip: check out the photos on their website beforehand because everything on the menu looks so good it's hard to choose! We ordered the jalapeño pickle bites, green chile chicken Philly with fries, and the chicken salad sandwich with a side salad and avocado lime dressing. Every single thing was delicious, but the chicken salad sandwich completely stole the show. So good. The vibe was just as great as the food. Super upbeat atmosphere, really good music, and fun quotes all over the walls that made it feel lively and unique. We were sitting next to a couple visiting from out of town who said they had already come earlier in the week and had to come back one more time before leaving--which says everything. Highly recommend if you're strolling through Old Town. We'll definitely be back!

The happy hour food specials were attractive so I ordered lemon pepper wings and electric fries - beer battered fries topped with carne asada, chorizo pork belly, caramelized rajas, melted cheese and poblano salsa. You would think with all the ingredients this would be so satisfying but unfortunately it wasn't. There was no flavor of the ingredients that wooed me, but it was worth a try. The wings were jumbo and I didn't know otherwise I would have asked for them to be cooked extra crispy. I didn't really enjoy those since they were juicy and not crispy. The atmosphere was chill with not many customers. The service was fast and waitress was nice.
