Never been anywhere quite like it. Full of well-oiled people (in a good way) before noon on a Saturday, an angel singing tunes with her guitar in the corner, some decent microbrewery beer and just the right sort of food to wash down with it. read more

Randomly wandered into this place while my family was shopping for dream catchers in the downtown scottsdale area. This place is one of Arizonas oldest and most historic bars. If anything else, drop by for a brew. Check out the history. Awesome seats at the bar.....you will have to see for yourself read more

Very cool Country ball with a live band. The band is great and they interact with the crowd!! Very small space, so it gets crowded quick!!

I love, love, love the Spur! It never disappoints. I even sent my pastors here and they loved it. Just a ton of character, great music, and Denise is my favorite bartender! read more

Great find! Tourist here, out exploring Scottsdale's Old Town on a Sunday afternoon when a solo live guitar perked my ears from around the corner. Pretty busy for during the day, but thankfully a very relaxed environment with mellow staff. Contrary to other reviews, I prefer to relax and take in the music, not be chummy with the bartenders. Our bartender was polite and attentive on the height of our drinks. read more

Best country bar in Scottsdale. Also its a cool place to relax your mind from a busy day at work. Also the band that plays on thursday nite to saturday nite is awesome.chheeeeehaaaa... read more

Best bar in Scottsdale!! Old west style!!

My GF and I went there and the music was good. However, we are in AZ and thought Nachos would be a safe bet. I tried to order them with chicken (a 1.50 up charge and the bartender advised they already come with meat and beans) I went without the chicken. We have been around the world, currently living in the pix area, and these by far are the worst nachos we have ever had. More than half the stale chips had nothing on them. Beer was fine, music was good, but I would never eat there again. $12.00 for the nachos? If I was the owner or cook I would be embarr assed read more

Had a great time at the Rusty Spur! Came around 430 PM and live cowboy music had just started. The singer was very talented, he kept me engaged even though I don't listen to country music! There was one waitress running the whole place, and she was very sharp and was able to keep track of what everyone had. There are 8 tables that can seat about 5 max and the environment is pretty relaxed. Great for groups of 2-5. Great place to visit in Old Scottsdale! read more

Fun times for sure. The place is a little small but don't let that discurage you. The house band is really awesome as well as very talented. If you're in the neighborhood you gotta stop even if it's a little crowded. read more

This used to be my favorite little country bar in old town. Band members wearing MAGA hats really turned me off. Not going to return or recommend to support racist political BS. Maggots - this place is for you! read more

This is our go to place whenever we are in Scottsdale. Small, great music, ever if not a c ountry fan, good bar food... Fun, fun, fun.

We've had lunch there twice in last week. Food is good and unique to the Southwest. Fun place to go! Large selection of beers. Highly recommend it. read more

This is a super friendly place. Great for locals and tourists alike. The music is great and the drinks are good. A real Western atmosphere. One Saturday we saw a cowboy on his horse come inside the bar. Lots of fun. A great place to stop in Old Town Scottsdale. read more

True old county. I don't think there is anything else on this earth I like more than this bar. Great music. Cheap drinks. Awesome crowd

This is a great little dive bar. And I do mean little. The chairs are made out of saddles. Come when there's a live band in the corner. Not a lot of room but many people will be dancing. Definitely a must stop in old town. read more

I love this joint. It is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place, and it has kind of a no-frills bar, but the music is awesome and everyone is always so friendly. I try to avoid it on Friday and Saturday nights because it gets so crowded and difficult to get a drink. But otherwise it is a super fun and welcoming joint for locals and visitors alike. When people visit from out of town, I always bring them here. read more

Was here this past weekend on a Friday night. The two bartenders were HORRIBLY rude and provided the worst service I've ever had. The bar wasn't busy at all (about 10 people total, we had 5 in our party), we were very polite. Had come here before and it was fine, but the two female bartenders were so rude and snotty that I definitely wouldn't return or recommend! read more

This place can "rustle-up" a really good bowl of cowboy chili, margaritas, and cold beers to soothe the hungry traveler just in from the arts and sights in old-town Scottsdale. Service is friendly and fast! Prices are quite good too. The country-western live music helps complete that old town Arizona experience.!!! read more

This is one of Scottsdale's gems, this place is absolutely fun, best and most fun music in Scottsdale! I can't say enough on how fun this place is, whenever I have visitors from out of town this is one of the first places I bring up, and everybody I bring their enjoys it and especially the music ! read more

Never had a bad time here! This place is always filled with good music, great staff, and respectable people. I really question anyone who tries to claim they didn't have a good time here. read more

Had a blast on Friday evening at the Spur. Great entertainment and just overall a lot of fun!!

WOW, I'd read that this place was small. They weren't joking! Love the front door. My husband at 6'2 peeked over to see how busy it was and the singer shouted out come on in, the water's fine. LOL. We had one beer each, a local IPA that unfortunately wasn't great, not at fault of the bar. While busy, a group of locals gave up a seat at the bar for me and they were great to speak to. The barstools are hilarious and of course we got photos. We were here around 6pm on a Tuesday and it was packed full. I'd hate to see it at midnight! read more

If I didn't really love the band, I'd give only a 1-star after this evening. It's a great local place with live music and cheap drinks. However, I've been going to RS for years and tonight was treated quite badly. When I noticed that a very intoxicated girl had spilled her drink on the dance floor (and waited about 10 minutes), I finally brought it to the attention of the security guy (who happened to be sitting right in front of the spill). I suggested (at first politely) that he might want to attend to the spill and avoid a possible "slip and fall" lawsuit because I enjoyed going there and it would be a shame if it was closed down for something like that. He very sarcastically replied, "Thank you for telling me how to do my job." Yes, I then replied with a bit of profanity which I instantly apologized for and he did not accept. The profanity was not in any way directed at him, but rather the possible consequences of not cleaning up the spill... "you could wind up with a f*#@king lawsuit." Instead, he became instantly defensive and I just left. The guy at the door was very nice and polite. My intention was only to help. read more

I read reviews and went. You got to be kidding me right! What a joke. Room smaller than my 2 bedroom apartment. Elbow to elbow people standing around talking. Have to say excuse me 10 times to squeeze through to the bar. Only one bartender on a Saturday night. Looked to see if there was an upstairs or a passage to another room with dancing or more bars, nope. I don't get those people. What's the point? read more

I was in Scottsdale last week on vacation and just had to stop at the Rusty Spur for lunch. It was well worth it. It is a small place and very busy but a great atmosphere. The service was good and the food was even better. The live music was excellent! I even had to go home with a souvenir hat. I would go again if I was in town. read more

My husband and I came here during our vacation to Phoenix and both ended up with food poisoning. We called to ask if anyone else has reported food poisoning and they acted like they could have cared less. The atmosphere was neat although it is pretty cramped in there. Minus the food poisoning the food was decent, although overpriced. read more

StaY away from the Crazy Man!! The Ponytailed bartender 'Jimmy'... Rude... Angry and Mean Spirited ..continued demanding (more) tips.. I told him kindly and with a smile...'you don't have to worry..we'll take care if you'.. And he grabbed our beers and told us to get out! Crazy Man.. Has issues..Stay Away!!... (Edited).. And COUNT YOUR CHANGE!.. He'll TAKE what he thinks he has coming to him without your offering it! Realized this after we left!! WOW. read more

In Scottsdale for a business trip and stopped by with a coworker who lived in the area 20 years ago. Great casual place to drink beers and listen to live country music. Everything else in Old Town was pretty dead. read more

Had fun two stepping here on a Saturday night to an amazing band. Fun fun fun. Great crowd and great service at the bar.

Had lunch there today; it was my first and last time here. Unfriendly bartender and waitress; grudging service, no smiles, no eye contact. Obviously don't like working there. Food was fast food quality. Singer was okay but nowhere near the professional level. read more

Awesome bar with terrible service. I stumbled upon the bar while shopping on a Sunday with out of state relatives. The bartender/waitress was arrogant and rude. The bartender/waiter was arrogant as well. I don't understand, these two could make so much more money in tips if they would just smile and acknowledge their customers. They both acted like they were put out when anyone in my party asked for a drink. Unfortunately the joke of Scottsdale being "Snobsville" was reinforced by these two employees. read more

Lets just say this is a tourist type bar, but a pretty cool place to take out of town guests. The food has always been good and reasonable prices. The live music is great. Took my adult daughter there for lunch today, as she was in town visiting and to walk around Old Scottsdale. It will now be the last time I go there. My question: (to the bartender) Excuse me maam, is there any idea on how long for our food? We have been waiting twenty-five minutes. (order was a burger w/o-rings and a ten piece bar-b-que chicken wings). Answer: This is a small place and I only have one guy and one grill, yours is the next up." WRONG ANSWER! How about: "Let me check on it" or "Oh we are a bit backed up right now - let me check." At this time we counted. Eight people eating food, the rest drinking beverages. 31 people in the place (which was full). We also timed the food arrival from our question, 7 more minutes. I would have appreciated when we ordered her letting us know it would be this long. I had never waited, even when crowded more than 15 minutes for food here. The "flip" attitude of the bartender ruined any further visits from me with my visitors, and soured all my fun times I have had here. Kind of feel bad, but, there is no reason to speak to a paying customer like that. read more

Let me just say that this place is awesome!!! Totally unexpected and a must see! From the doors to the decor to the food and the music it's old time country at its finest! Kind of small and gets a bit crowded but the more the merrier! The tamales are out of this world amazing!!! A must try!!! If I could I'd make a trip from Tucson just to eat their tamales!!! read more

Went for lunch yesterday after seeing the Rusty Spur on Check Please on PBS...small cute dive bar...very small but a good place for lunch. The Spur Burger was really good but it really needs a sturdier bun for the size of the burger and toppings...The bottom bun was soggy. Maybe they should place the lettuce and/ or the onion on the bottom bun to keep it from getting soggy...fries were very good and seasoned perfectly for my taste...the bartender/ waitress could have been a bit friendlier. Enjoyed the entertainment...would definitely return for lunch when we're in the Valley... read more

The spur kicks ass! Jimmy and his band Psychobilly Rodeo is amazing. They play all the songs the patrons request and put their own awesome, original twist on them; making the classic, boring, sterol typical songs fun and lively! That chick at the reserved table is a bad ass dancer and gets all the boring people out on the dance floor busting a rug! The bar tenders are so slammed, busy attending to idiots and still accommodate all, quickly and courtesley, despite having to deal with dumb ass cheap tipping drunks! The spur has music every day of the week. Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday there is an extremely talented musician, Jan, who rocks the guitar! best place to visit, if you don't, it's your loss! read more

Seriously great place. Classic western bar looks, with great live music and a good beer / drink selection. The place is just straight up fun. read more

I have been a regular at Rusty Spur. Amazing little place, very friendly staff and great country music. Psychobilly Rodeo Band on thu - sat nights are fun. Drinks are reasonably priced too.. Try it out if you happen to be in the Old Town area.. read more

Have never eaten here but what a fun place for late night drinks. Definitely go for a stop while bar hopping. Super small with a band but just a fun place. Has that "Wild Wild West" feel. Mixed crowd. Everyone from young 20's to an older crowd. Watch out though - There's this one really tall meat head who just wears over-all's. He gets belligerently drunk, is rude and like to starts fights. He's considered "trash" from where I come from. Wish the bar wouldn't let him back in every weekend. Just stay away from him, other then that the bar is great. You don't see that back home in the tri-state area. read more

This is a fun small hole-in-wall bar. I gave them 1 star because the blonde female bartender has a nasty attitude. I was sitting at the bar and left my drink to use the restroom. When I returned my drink had been thrown away. When I questioned the bartender, she was over the top rude and nasty. Granted it wasn't a full drink but it was my drink nevertheless. read more
