Best Sports Bars in Scottsdale for a Bachelor Party

Why Scottsdale for a Sports Weekend

Old Town Scottsdale packs more bars into a few walkable blocks than almost anywhere in the Southwest. That density is your friend when you have twelve guys and half of them want the fight and half want the football game.

You will find wall to wall screens, big patios for the Arizona sun, and reservations that actually take a group of your size. Book your anchor spot early for any major game weekend.

The Best Sports Bars

Bottled Blonde

Best for: High energy and a big group | Price: $$

This is the loud, packed, everyone is here spot. The layout is huge with screens on every wall, so your whole crew can post up at one long table and still see the game.

Order this: the loaded pizza and a bucket of domestics, roughly $16 per pie and $30 per bucket.

Dierks Bentley Whiskey Row

Best for: Whiskey drinkers and a country vibe | Price: $$

Indoor and outdoor bars, more than sixty whiskeys, and screens you can see from anywhere. The whiskey infused wings are the move before the crowd rolls in.

Order this: the whiskey burger, around $18, with a flight of bourbon for the table.

Rockbar Inc.

Best for: Fan clubs and live music | Price: $$

Home to a few big out of town fan clubs, so if your group reps an East Coast team this is your spot. Rock and roll edge, strong pours, and plenty of screens.

Order this: the wings by the dozen, around $15, paired with a whiskey ginger.

Goodwood Tavern

Best for: A slightly more grown up sports bar | Price: $$

A step up from the Old Town chaos with a sharper menu but the same game day coverage. The blue cheese and bacon guacamole and buffalo chicken dumplings are worth the detour.

Order this: the buffalo chicken dumplings, around $14, during the weekday happy hour from 3 to 7.

Barstool Scottsdale

Best for: Bettors and a sportsbook lounge feel | Price: $$

Massive screens, an interactive betting lounge, and craft cocktails if your crew wants to nurse a parlay all afternoon. Get there early on any big Sunday.

Order this: shareable nachos, around $17, and a round of tall boys.

Zipps Sports Grill

Best for: A low key start or a cheaper round | Price: $

Not flashy, but reliable wings, cheap drafts, and every game on somewhere. A solid warm up before you push into the busier Old Town rooms.

Order this: the traditional wings, around $13, with a pitcher for the table.

Planning Tips

• Reserve a big table or a section for your anchor bar on any major game weekend, especially during football season.
• Old Town is walkable, so plan a loop and let the group drift between two or three spots rather than committing to one.
• Summer patios are brutal in the afternoon heat, so keep midday games indoors and save the patio for after sundown.
• Set up a group tab lead so you are not splitting six separate checks at closing time.
