Scottsdale might be the hot spot for high-end spending in the Phoenix area, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t classic places for those who are unfussy! This includes dive bars, watering holes that dot the landscape without drawing a bunch of unwanted attention. We know a little bit about these dive bars in Scottsdale to grab a drink under the radar, with chill atmospheres and simple drinks to cap off your long days — so have a look below!
The Well Bar
2623 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85257
If you want a place where you can enjoy a relaxing sip of whiskey or get together with other local sports fans, The Well Bar is a great spot for it. Of course, you could always go with classics like darts or pool instead — especially if you’re the competitive type! Along with daily drink specials, such as the 10 a.m. “Power Hour”, you can also get 25% off your tab for riding there on a bicycle instead of in a car.
