If you’d rather spend the night before Thanksgiving taking a load off at a bar instead of spending the night in the kitchen slapping around a naked turkey, we have the list for you. Here are some awesome bars around the Valley that are open on Thanksgiving Eve — consider it our Drinksgiving gift to you!
Rusty Spur Saloon
7245 E Main St, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
This historic Scottsdale saloon is the oldest bar in Scottsdale, and it’s their first saloon, to boot! They have been around for over 70 years, and when you stop by, you’ll know why. Head in on that Wednesday night to enjoy live music, an intimate setting, and one of the best margaritas in town. Not feeling like a margarita? Try one of their premium beers or peruse the domestic beer selections — there are many to choose from. This bar sports hilarious butt-shaped bar stools that are a tourist attraction in and of themselves. Want to see them for yourself? Rusty Spur is open until 1 a.m., so you’ve got time.
The Well Bar
2623 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85257
With its relaxing and cozy atmosphere, The Well Bar could be just what you’re looking for on the night before Turkey Day. Enjoy Happy Hour from 4pm – 6pm where you can score with $2 domestic drafts and $4 well drinks. Play a game of pool, darts, or pinball with some buddies and kick back until close at 2 in the morning!
Kazimierz Wine & Whiskey Bar
7137 E Stetson Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Our next location has its doors open until midnight Thanksgiving Eve. What a score! If you’re into the dark atmosphere and striking interior, this trendy haunt will seem even more exciting to you. Here, you can enjoy live music every night — including that Wednesday — as well as an extensive drink list that includes wine, whiskey, and cocktails. Oh, and when we say extensive… we’re not kidding. They have over 100 different whiskey choices and the wine menu is huge, to boot! Not sure what drink to have? Order the Cocktail Roulette and the barkeep will decide for you. Now that’s the way to spend the eve of a holiday.
Scapegoat Beer and Wine
7150 E 5th Ave, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Another pride and joy of Scottsdale, Scapegoat Beer and Wine will be open until 11 p.m. The customer service here is excellent and the vibe is laid-back. Take advantage of their happy hour from 3-6 p.m. and get $2 off drafts and $3 off wine by the glass. With a rotating craft beer menu, wines from all over the world, and tasty eats like bruschetta, burrata bowls, and sweet n’ spicy meatballs, we think Scapegoat will be the perfect palate cleanser before your upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
