Scottsdale’s summer heat calls for one thing: cool drinks, craveable bites, and patios that make the most of golden hour. Whether you’re catching up with friends or hunting down the best deals before sunset, this city knows how to happy hour. Here are some of the standout spots and specials that’ll make your next outing something to look forward to!
Buck & Rider
Starting strong with Buck & Rider, a North Scottsdale favorite where the oysters are fresh, the fire pits are lit, and the daily happy hour (3–7pm) keeps things interesting. The raw bar has $2.25 oysters, $3 shrimp, and you’ll find rotating sushi rolls, Voodoo fried rice, and smoked trout dip on the $10 small bites menu. Pair it with a $10 signature cocktail or a $9 house highball and you’re in summer mode.
Mastro’s
If you’re craving something heartier, swing over to Mastro’s for their “Summer of Luxury” prix-fixe menu. For $80, Monday through Thursday, you get three courses with plenty of options—from herb-roasted chicken to the signature petite filet—and yes, the butter cake is on the dessert list.
Roaring Fork
Roaring Fork brings bold comfort to the table with happy hour starting daily at 4pm and going until 6pm. Food picks range from $8-15 and include steak sliders, green chili pork, and truffle fries. On the drink side, margaritas come in jalapeño, classic, and huckleberry variations—all priced at $8. It’s the kind of menu that works just as well for a casual catch-up as it does for a low-key dinner.
Cien Agaves
When tequila’s calling, Cien Agaves always answers. Their daily happy hour (3–6pm) features $7 Cien-a-Ritas, $3 tacos, and $5 beers—plus, show your GoodNight Stay Enso guidebook for 15% off. This summer, their limited-time Bartender Menu is also in full swing, with handcrafted cocktails like the Mami Mezcalita, Cabana Boy, and Golden Hour—available now through July 31st. The atmosphere is colorful and relaxed, with plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
Not My First Rodeo
If your idea of a good happy hour involves a little country flair and a lot of options, Not My First Rodeo in Old Town is the place. Every weekday from 2–6pm, they’re serving up easygoing deals like $4 cans, $5 ice shots, and $12.95 combos like burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and walking tacos—all paired with a shot or drink. It’s the kind of place where no one’s judging you for ordering a maple bourbon smash before 6pm.
Saint Urban
For something laid-back with just the right touch of refinement, Saint Urban quietly serves up one of Scottsdale’s most underrated happy hour menu. Available daily from 3–6pm, you’ll find $6 mini martinis—lemon drop, espresso, dirty, and cosmo—alongside shareable plates like Korean-style tacos, truffle fries, and steak tartare. Their $30 wine & dine deal (any bottle and a board) is perfect for groups, and the now locally-famous “Girl Dinner” pairing—salad and fries—is ideal when you’re craving something light but satisfying.
Lane Park
Looking to combine food, drinks, and friendly competition? Lane Park in Old Town brings the fun with duckpin bowling, axe throwing, and ½-price pizza and bowling every weekday from 12–4pm. Add in $8 well cocktails and prickly pear margaritas and you’re officially multitasking.
Campo
Meanwhile, Campo proves midweek cravings can be seriously rewarding. Their happy hour runs Monday to Friday, from 3–6pm, with specials like $5 well drinks, beer, and house wine. On top of that, enjoy $5 full-size martinis on Thursdays and $10 pizzas every Wednesday. The Limoncello Cosmo might steal your heart, but the designer-meets-casual atmosphere seals the deal.
Pomo Pizza
If pizza’s still on your mind, head to Pomo Pizza in Central Scottsdale and Biltmore area, where the thin-crust pies are wood-fired to perfection and the drinks are worth lingering over. Stop by for “Tini Tuesdays,” with $10 martinis served all day, or swing in Monday through Friday from 3–6pm for happy hour specials like $2 off specialty cocktails, $1 off draft beer, and $5 glasses of select wine. It’s the kind of spot that turns a quick bite into a full-on tradition.
Drunk Munk
Drunk Munk leans tropical in all the right ways. Happy hour runs daily from 3–7pm, with half-off sushi and apps, and continues all day on Sundays, making it an easy weekend win. Add in $7 piña coladas and tiki cocktails like the “Island Serenity,” and you’ve basically booked yourself a staycation—without ever leaving Old Town.
JoJo’s ShakeBAR
For a nostalgic and playful summer outing, head to JoJo’s ShakeBAR. Their limited-time Camp JoJo’s dining experience runs through September, blending 80s and 90s throwback vibes with over-the-top milkshakes, inventive cocktails, and hands-on activities like table-side s’mores roasting and monthly crafts. With bright colors, familiar tunes, and treats like the show-stopping S’mores Biggie Shake, it’s the perfect spot to cool off and make summer memories.
Loco Patron’s
If you’re looking to keep the good times rolling with flavorful bites and generous pours, head to a favorite spot with a weekday happy hour from 2–6pm. Expect $6 queso skillets, $10 drunken birria tacos, $8 nachos, and margarita pitchers that keep the conversation flowing. Bonus: they brew their own beer, and it’s good.
Diego Pops
If you’re after a happy hour that’s both easygoing and reliably good, Diego Pops checks the box. From 3–6pm daily, you’ll find $6 margaritas, sangria, and wine, plus half-off apps—including their infamous brussels sprout nachos (trust us on this one). The retro aesthetic, open-air patio, and laid-back feel make it a solid bet whether you’re kicking off the night or calling it an early one.
Poppy’s Office
And for one last cheers, head north to Poppy’s Office—a speakeasy-style bar tucked behind Liberty Station. This spot opens its happy hour during the first and last hour of service (Tues–Thurs: 4–10pm, Fri–Sat: 4–11pm), so plan accordingly. Drinks like the $15 Rocky Point Summer—made with tequila, chile liqueur, and blood orange—hit the seasonal sweet spot, and their zero-proof cocktails are anything but an afterthought.
And when you’ve had your fill of tacos, martinis, and margarita pitchers, it’s always nice to have a place to kick back without the chaos. GoodNight Stay has you covered with stylish homes across Scottsdale, perfect for unwinding or rallying for round two. Even better, our summer sale is live—book now through August 31st with code HELLOAZSUMMER to get 15% OFF select Arizona stays. You handle the happy hour—we’ll handle the rest.
