Welcome to Old Town Tavern — Why Guests Should Go

If you’re staying in Scottsdale and want an evening that pairs live music, easygoing patio seating, and strong, well-priced cocktails, add Old Town Tavern to your plans. Since 2006, it’s been a go-to neighborhood hangout — beloved for its friendly staff, community feel, and consistent live music lineup.

Where It Is

Old Town Tavern has recently moved into an expanded space just off the Old Town plaza — a new location at 7330 E. Scottsdale Mall with a bigger stage and larger bar while keeping the same lively spirit guests love. If you want more stage energy (or a better spot to see a band), this move made the venue roomier and more comfortable.

What to Expect: Atmosphere, Crowd, and Vibe

Expect a friendly, neighborhood bar atmosphere — a mix of locals and visitors, plenty of live bands, and a patio that’s great for people-watching and sunsets. Reviews consistently mention the welcoming staff and the tavern’s reputation as a regular hangout with a community feel. Whether you’re grabbing a casual drink after dinner or planning a night of live music, Old Town Tavern delivers a relaxed, social experience.

Music & Events — Why It’s a Live-Music Staple

Old Town Tavern books live music frequently — often nightly — and keeps an updated calendar so you can plan around bands and special shows. If live music matters to your night out, check the venue’s social media or website before you go to see when local favorites or special performers are playing.

Food & Drinks — What to Order

The tavern serves scratch bar bites, classic bar food, creative cocktails, and a good selection of beers. It’s built for casual dining and drinking: think shareable plates and cocktails crafted to pair with a music-filled night. Prices are generally reasonable for the area, making it a comfortable option for guests who want quality without hotel-bar markups.
