Won't come here again because of how rude and unprofessional the bartender Cody was. I asked for a water for my friend who wasn't feeling good (it was her bachelorette party) and he literally responded "then you can leave" and continued to talk to one of his friends and ignored me. I asked him AGAIN and he got the water so aggressively. He should be passing out water happily to people not making it seem like it's some burden. He had the worst attitude I could not believe it. He also changed me 4$ for a tiny chaser cup. This guy clearly thinks he can do whatever he wants and needs to be spoken with by the manager. read more

This one goes out to Mr.Clean at the front door. Back to back denied my ID after not only being dead sober but also handing him my military, state issued, and even COSTCO IDs... I asked the Co bouncer if I can invite an officer over to validate my identity... he agreed and so I went and brought 3 officers over not 5 minutes later to ensure the women in the IDS were in fact me. He continued to tell the officers he actually didn't care and he wasn't going to let me or my friends in...Mr. clean, I'm so sorry for whatever Vendetta you have against Me or if it was just too embarrassing to back pedal at that point... Took my business to Maya (turns out you are universally unpopular) and had the best evening there. Long story short- this place is okay at best. read more

Great bar/restaurant for burgers and shakes!! The veggie burger and the Californication both are winners.. The District Mud shake is my favorite shake here. The food here is a bit pricey, but they have big portions.. We had a groupon for 4 that came with 4 shakes, 4 burgers, and 2 sides.. The sweet potatoes tots and onions rings were our sides we picked. Good service and good food! read more

The District - Veggie burger, onion rings, and sweet potato tots - Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Reserved a booth for 'Game 5' of Suns vs. Bucks. Kicked us out after the game saying the reservation was invalid after. Would not it recommend be after 10pm for the only fact that that deny everyone already in the venue the right to keep their reservation. Kicked us out of our booth saying that it wasn't under our name even after telling multiple employees at the venue. Security wasn't even part of the "The District". Every half hour they change employees from the other venues like Riot Club and Skylines. Definitely would not recommend. Better off going across the street. read more

WOW, OMG & Mmm are a few 3 letter phrases that describe the quality, flavor and creativity of their food! Not your standard bar food. We came in and got Burgers, Onion Rings and Milkshakes. The Burgers were enormous, and so tasty! I got the Harlem Shake burger, which was a burger topped with a home made pastrami, Russian dressing and cole slaw. The flavor was insane, just bursting out of it! Very juicy, and was on a homemade Brioche bun that was soft and buttery. The onion rings were awesome, beer battered and huge. The Milkshakes were a delicious treat as well. The burgers and sides are served on wooden cutting boards, nice stylish touch for a modern unique bar. Definitely recommend coming here! Also, their happy hour boasts $5 burgers, so great time to come try a burger with a beer. read more

See all

Definitely one of my favorite places to get a burger in old town! It's juicy and full of flavor. You can't beat the price of a $5 burger during happy hour! When it comes to the night, the District is full of energy and stands out against the other bars in the area. Music is loud, bartenders are good, and the patrons are full of energy. Definitely a newer "young" bar for college-mid 20s / early 30s, but I would recommend to party goers of all ages! read more

Went here for a Suns game and wasn't allowed to enter because I was wearing a Suns jersey. Even though there were several other people who managed to get in wearing a jersey, I believe some of the security were wearing "district" jerseys as well. My point is bars like this in Arizona are despicable and drive me insane. If you don't support your local sorts teams then GTFO of here honestly. Went to HiFi right next door and got in with a jersey no problem, everyone in the bar was wearing jerseys as well. This place doesn't wanna back the Suns, so if you're an AZ sports fans don't support this place either. #sunsin4 read more

Awesome place to hanging out with friends and also meeting new cool people. I love this place.

Nick the bouncer was so helpful at the door! My friends and I had the best time dancing!

Zoe was the best!! Super helpful and sweet!! Best looking for sure but also has the personality to match. You should be lucky to have her as an employee. read more

This place has bad service and a habit of trying to get over on people for money. I excused it the first two times, but my last trip makes 5 times someone on their staff tried it and a lot of it seems racially biased. I ordered 2 shots of Don Julio and gave the bartender a $50 she brought back no change and when I stopped her she said there wasn't any, so I ordered a second round with card and asked for an itemized receipt and she said they can't provide that. Next trip in we ordered bottles and were told they have no more of a specific kind so we had to pick another. There was a $100 price difference from what we wanted to what we got, but we were charged for the more expensive bottle which they said they didn't have. I had to have her correct it. Next time Doorman let's multiple people in right in front of me and then says $200 cover charge or you need to buy a table for $1K. I watched and heard him lean over to the other guy and say "I told this guy $200 and I think he's actually going to pay it". I've been coming here for years and there has never been a cover. We'll never go back read more

Absolutely awful, payed for drinks the first time then the second time they tried to charge us double. We complained and the bartender refused to help, we had to yell to flag him down and get him to call a manager. They refunded us and almost didn't give back the cash I payed as half the tab. Then said we had to leave and couldn't come back. Absolutely disgusting service, shouldn't even be in business. Said that the other girl charged us wrong, but I wasn't going to pay $50 for two drinks even if one is a double. read more

Stay away if you are booking table. Servers and bartenders are fine but management is horrible. Pete the GM is extremely unfriendly, rude and didn't make us feel welcome at all. There are better options in Old Scottsdale. read more

Ok had a lot of fun here BUT I requested a vodka sprite from one of the male bartenders and he said "fuck off" to himself so I obviously said "excuse me?" and we ended up yelling at each other. He was so clearly coked out. He made security escort me out of the bar. He was a joke. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the District. If I'm being frank I expected half assed bar food lacking originality. That was not the case for me! I came here with some new friends for a bite to eat and a few adult beverages. They have a solid selection of local breweries and a creative cocktail list. I opted for the Camelback IPA to keep it local. For food I opted for the Fireman burger. It was topped with bacon, fire roasted poblanos, jalapeños, red bell peppers, arugula, red onion, habanero jack cheese, and District sauce, cooked to order. I ordered medium rare and each topping added to the taste and didn't all blend into each other. Don't order this burger if you're on a date as it could be pretty messy but definitely worth it. I also ordered the sweet potato tots and they were so good I had to take them with me much to the dismay of my fellow dining companions who thought it was weird! Cheers! read more

The District - Fireman Burger - Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I've had fun here in the past several times, which is why I'm giving 3 stars, but I was floored today when I was charged 21 dollars and change for a milkshake with an undedectable amount of Bailey's in it. That is just absolutely ridiculous and absurd and I can't believe they would overcharge people that much, Its downright insulting! Needless to say I won't be returning. read more

I had a horrific experience with the bald angry man at the front door last weekend. I was with a large group of girls for a bachelorette party. District was our last stop of the night. We politely waited in line, didn't ask for any favors, and the doorman approached us, ushered us in through the line, and gave us a table with a bottle of champagne. Incredibly kind right? Turns out that was leveraged against us at a later point. We had one guy friend as a part of our 12 party group of girls that had been the ultimate gentleman in chaperoning us through Scottsdale. He arrived at District a mere minutes after our group of girls. He too, politely waited in line and when approached the front was quickly rebuffed. I found this surprising considering it was dead inside, a rainy night, and there was no harm in letting him in. I went outside and politely asked the bald guy if he could consider letting our friend as he is a part of our group. I was shocked when he sneered with complete disdain that unless my friend was to pay him off, it wasn't going to happen. Great business practice right? Then, when I thought he couldn't be more repulsive, he then in the most condescending and vile tone said "you're making me regret taking SUCH GOOD CARE OF YOU". Excuse me sir. Although we were there for a bachelorette party and you may make general assumptions about those groups, this particular group consisted of 6 lawyers, a hedge fund manager, 3 medical professionals, and 2 business owners. We are more than capable of buying our own bottle (and I assure you it would have been much nicer than the cheap shit sent to the table) and we were planning on tipping 4x what the bottle was worth as a thank you. But instead he seemed to think that was leverage to tolerate his verbal attacks. He went even further after my friend asked for the manager and threatened to call the cops. Pathetic. It's a shame bc on the interior of the bar the staff was kind and the vibe was fun. But I refuse to give business to anyone that has that misogynistic, condescending, vile man representing them. Ladies, unless you want to be verbally assaulted by a man suffering extreme Napoleon complex, avoid this place at all costs. read more

Me and my friends came here looked like a cool spot with good vibes, but the bartenders are super rude looks like they hate there job. Not once did they smile or ask us what we wanted we had to flag them down ever time. Jessica and gabby are terrible. Managers should really do something. Plus side burrito was bomb. Erick thank you for that but it was pretty empty when all this went on we didn't visit that specific bar during peak due to service read more

Scumbag bouncers tried charging us $900 for a table. Paid and got terrible service. Don't go there. Better options in Scottsdale. Or better yet stay home and crank some cod. read more

The burgers here are always great, along with the toppings and dipping sauces. Service is great too. Taylor and Chrissie were awesome and friendly. I understand that there is a cost to a business to accept credit cards. It should not be passed to a customer by penalizing them for using a card! At $15 for a shot of Jameson I think they are making a good profit. It is like paying more at Basha's for not using cash. read more

The District - Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

First of all the food is absolutely horrible! If you're coming for a sporting event do not waste your time. After we ordered our food they decided to stop playing our event and brought on their DJ. Do not waste your time or your money. * If there is an event being aired customers should be forewarned that the DJ will be coming on at a certain time. It's absolutely ridiculous that customers are allowed to order food and drinks and mid event the volume goes off. Your managers should be provided customer service lessons. The manager on duty James is the absolute most unprofessional manager I've ever dealt with. read more

Love the place and atmosphere, had friends in town from out of state for our friends bday wanted to show them Scottsdale, unfortunately had a bad experience with one I. The bartenders named Courtney she clapped at us and made us feel bad for wanting to order drinks after it took her 20 minutes to even acknowledge us until her bar back grabbed her attention to us. Being some one that has worked in the industry and bartender for 17 years I don't understand how someone could be working on a Saturday night and be so rude to customers on the busiest night. The other bartender forgot his name has blue eyes and a beard totally took over and treated us so good that made the rest of our night! read more

They don't take Amex. Seriously? Money is money. If you don't want to take my platinum card I'll just got elsewhere. Insane. X

Nick and Sandy are awesome! This is one of the best spots in OT! You'll have a great time.

Uhhhhh. Talk about a staff that just hangouts and ignores the customers! Come here if you want to wait an hour for your order

Fuuuhhhhhdge! I Don't even remember coming up in here cause i was too efff'd up lmao. That was friday night lol. I was gliding like Akuma from street fighter. Luckily we did come back the following day and there are alot of bad ass women up in here. Great atmosphere & good music. Hopefully next time i come around here, ill try the food i guess. read more

I would have given them 5-stars if they weren't so unethical, its a fun place and cool environment. Twice now they have overcharged me on my bar tab, ie. a $34 tab which I signed and tipped $6 should equal $40, I was charged $51. This was the second time, the first time I went to close my tab at the bar and the bartender said "oh, we already closed your tab" without me signing anything. They gave me no receipt or anything for the amount. I later see my credit card was charged $70, $30 and $5, none of which I was offered a receipt for. I believe we spent around $50-$60, not $105. I called the bar, no one has ever answered the phone, I also emailed from their website with no response. I don't care about the money so I won't be fighting it (not worth my time) but if I ever go back here or to Maya, I will be paying with cash only. Be careful as well, they will not let you in wearing a Bulls jersey while the Bulls are playing a playoff game on every tv in the bar....yet people with no shirt are welcome to roam freely. read more

Bad service and pretty good food. We've been here for 30 minutes and have only gotten fries so far we tried to order and the server said she was going to get drinks for another table and ended up taking their order instead so now we are waiting here for our food while the other tables that walked in after us are eating. I just want my milkshake!!!! Wings we bad there was no meat, burgers were asked to be rare and they were all well done. Manager was sassy. Very disappointed not coming back even though we have a groupon. read more

This place is going to take the crowd away from some of the other popular bars in the Scottsdale Entertainment District. I went here thinking it would be a lowkey night with a sports bar atmosphere but i was pleasantly surprised. The place quickly filled up and the crowd proceeded to get turnt to the level of bottled blonde or hi-fi. You can get bottle service at one of their tables or do the scottsdale 30,000 dollar millionaire thing and settle for their $5 domestic drafts all night. This place passes the test for a fun night out with friends. The plethora of tvs they have also make it somewhere for you to watch sports all day long, especially with their $15 bottomless mimosas on saturday and sunday. Very excited about this place, looking forward to many more good experiences here. read more

Good: friendly, no intimidating bar staff; DJ was spinning good music Bad: drink prices were outrageous especially considering the low amount of alcohol mixed into them - it's another thing if you pay top dollar for a great, strong cocktail. Prices may be in line with old town bars but that doesn't mean they're good drinks. Ugly: patrons who show up for nightlife are not the cream of the crop so don't expect much as far as courtesy goes. If you have any respect for yourself and you're not already drunk, don't go here. No room to dance either despite great music. Overall, the establishment is confused as to what it exactly is when it comes to nightlife. read more

I will challenge anyone who wants to argue the best burger in Phoenix, because this place has it. I've downed plenty, and it was one of those when you know, you know. When you come here, ask for Steve. Dude will take the best care of you. Very friendly, respectful and great at his job. Out of any bar I've been to in Scottsdale, this is the place with the best service. Lots of respect to the managers here. I'll be coming back here many of times. read more

Every time I have been to Scottsdale as an adult (twice-both during the Phoenix Open) we have ended up with a table at the District. Again, the only times I have come here are during the weekend of the Phoenix Open so I don't know how much that sways the vibe but I have always had an amazing time here! Great service and atmosphere, and I love their bottle presentation. All in all, a great place to party and I will definitely be back if I can handle the trouble of another Phoenix Open weekend, which is debatable. read more

Wow I have been here several times but the bouncers were incredibly racist to my black friends. I myself wore shit clothing but bounces were being absolutely rude to my friends while letting me in read more

Doesn't matter if there is a DJ playing next door or something is going on, I always end up at District. The place itself is really cool and I love the staff there. They have two main bars that are split up so there is plenty of room to walk around. Lot's of TV's as well and overlooks the maya pool. Go GO GO ! read more

Completely mediocre burger. It was ok, but not great. For the price, I'd go elsewhere. The sweet potato tots were actually grossly sweet. I love most things sweet potato, so this was a shocker for me. I hated them. They were way too sweet. No idea how they managed to ruin sweet potato tots, but they did. It was sad. Doubt I'd get food from there again. read more

Came here to catch some Saturday NCAAF games. It was pretty amazing that the staff was willing to change the game channels by customer request. We sat at the bar and every bartender we came across were friendly and extremely efficient. We ordered a slew of burgers and shakes and everything was delish! I am the biggest carnivore but decided on the jungle and it was sooo good! Everyone else ordered a real burger and enjoyed it too. Oh and for the sides, go for the sweet potato tater tots! read more

District is the place to be if you're in Old Town! I love my Sunday fundays here. Their boneless chicken wings are amaze-balls! The bartenders are always on their A game with drinks, DJ's play a good mixture of top 40 and old school remixes and now that they allow entry to Maya, you'll be spending most of your night here! read more

I wrote a review on this place explaining how I didn't enjoy my stay. While I maintain that a negative review does reflect a person's experience at a place of business, I was perhaps being a bit harsh on a place that is trying to fit in the scene. It may be unfair of me to voice my displeasure towards a place with no room, talking space, cheap drinks since all of Old Town Scottsdale is the same way. I don't like Old Town, but I can manage a way to have fun with a little liquid courage at most places. My experiences at this place have not been fun. I believe that this place is great for others, just not for me. Much like how I love Calamari and others don't share that same affinity. I will however improve my star rating of this place based solely on the fact that I had someone personally reach out and tell me how unfair I was being and I kinda agree for some reason. So I apologize for being a dick. Carry on District. Perhaps I will try you again sometime, but in the meantime, here's a neutral rating. read more

My most favorite place I have been to in Arizona! The music was perfect, the bartenders were so nice & attentive, & it's just such a fun atmosphere. It was just perfect! I have nothing else to say but that. Lol read more

Great place for happy hour, a night out, or Sunday fundays. Service is always fast and friendly. Reno is one of the better bartenders out there, even if he is a delusional Steelers fan! read more
