I love 5th and wine! I've been here a million times and have always had good wine, good food, and a great time. This is the perfect place for a birthday dinner, going away dinner, celebration dinner, happy hour, date, the list goes on and on. This is the kind of place that everyone will like and they have something on the menu for everyone. Sometimes they have someone playing music in there too which is cool. I love that on the 5th of everyone month they have deals on wine and their happy hour is great too. I think it's like $20 for a bottle at happy hour? One of my friends and I used to go during happy hour all the time and each order our own because we thought it was such a good deal (you know who you are). The servers always have great suggestions on different wines too. All of the bruchettas are good for an appetizer and the salads, entrees and burgers are all tasty. They also have a little back patio if it's nice outside and I like that they take reservations. I have a lot of great memories here and I'll keep coming back!
Review Source:The food is good...but the portions are very small, especially for the price. Â 6oz filet? Â More like 4 oz. Â Better plan on ordering an appetizer and some bruschetta with that dinner and wine or you'll still be hungry when you leave. Â 200.00 bucks should have stretched a lot farther.
Review Source:This is  great casual wine bar to have a drink and the food is very good  as well!!nThey have outdoor patio area which is nice in cooler weather. The prices are very good here and great for a date night or meeting friends! Its in Old town Scottsdale area which we love. They have couch and chairs to sit in as well inside.
Review Source:I LOVE me some 5th and Wine. Â Not only for the wine selection but for their great food. Â
First off the wine section. Â I am a big wino and have never been disappointed with the wine selection. Â They really have something for taste and every budget. Â They also do month wine dinners which is a 4 course dinner with wine parings which is amazing.
Second, they have a really diverse menu and great portions. Â I am a meatarian so it will sound funny to say that I recommend the Chopped Salad but GET THE CHOPPED SALAD! Â I also love the burger with Cambozola cheese and regular fries. Â
People refer to the fries as "crack fries" and they are not lying, probably my favorite fries in The Valley. Â I am also a big fan of their Bourbon Glazed Salmon, it has a lot of flavor and isn't too sweet.
My only gripe is it can get a bit loud inside especially when they have music so if you are looking for a quiet dinner be prepared for some noise.

I came here on a date yesterday for dinner, and I had heard a lot about this place but had never been. We walked in and the outside doesn't match the inside at all. Lots of warm colors, dim lighting, it looks like my kind of wine bar - not pretentious feeling at all. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately and took a look at the menu. We weren't planning on sharing an appetizer but the crispy french fries looked too good to pass up so we had an order of those and we definitely made the right decision. We had the regular fries and it was a huge portion that we could barely finish.
I had the chicken pesto pasta and he had the cobb salad. I liked my pasta, it was deceptively a lot more than it looked like in the bowl, which I can't complain about. There was a bit too much sauce I'd have to say, but they didn't skimp on the pasta or chicken which was appreciated. He liked the salad, though he said it wasn't as crisp as he hoped it to be. Our server was really great and the live music was a nice touch. This looks like a great place to catch up with some friends over a glass (or two) of wine and some good food. Oh and I love their dog paintings!
I'm not sure who copied who, but 5th and Wine's bruschetta appetizer is pretty much exactly the same as Postino's bruschetta... but not as good. 5th and Wine has fewer options to select from for toppings and their bruschetta costs more for less food. It's still intrinsically "good," but in comparison to Postino, I'd rather go there.
I do like the atmosphere and vibe of 5th and Wine. On Saturday night they had a live two-piece band that was fun and lively, yet not so loud that you couldn't comfortably hold a conversation. Plus they let our party use the entire back room for ourselves (we had a big group together for a friend's birthday).
That being said, I probably wouldn't come back unless someone else wanted to, because I'm not a fan of wine and I could get better food elsewhere.
Wine bars... What's NOT to love! Especially this one!
I came here with some friends the other night and I already love wine bars so I love trying new ones. I loved everything about this place. From the food, to the wine, to the environment...
I ordered the Chicken Pesto Pasta. This entree was delicious! I like it when they don't skimp on the sauce because I feel that it makes it taste dry. The pesto sauce was really yummy. I'm a pretty light eater and usually always have leftovers to take home, but I devoured it! My friend ordered the Portobello burger that I tried. Quite tasty as well and I like the combination fries and dipping sauce that it came with. I also ordered the Red Sangria which was quite yummy. It wasn't too sweet like most Sangrias that I've had.
Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable as to his recommendations to what was good on the menu.
I loved the lounge area that they have set up as well. You can stay and hang out after you eat. It actually reminded me of the Living Room wine bar in Chandler that I absolutely love. Another great thing is that it's in Old town Scottsdale so it's not that far from me.
They have a happy hour menu as well that I'd really like to come back and try and will probably do an updated review on that as well! If you like wine bars with great food this is definitely the place to go! =)
Fantastic wine bar in the Old Town area, and surprisingly affordable. They accommodated a large bachelorette party (eyeroll, I know), and even gave us a special dessert for the bachelorette.
I had to do double takes to check the wine bottles prices - incredible selections for extremely cheap. And there's a list of 10% on the back of inventory that they need to move.
Wine bars can typically disappoint with food - small plates, portions, and just mediocre. Not the case - portions were reasonable, and every hard-to-please girl was happy. Highly recommend the bruschetta sampler as a starter.
Cute patio, live music. Overall, a hit.
Smallest portions EVER. When my food came, I almost wanted to cry. They also got our order wrong. My husband and I ordered the Pomadoro Pasta and the Grilled Bourbon Salmon to share. The music was a little loud and I guess the server misheard us because when the food came out it was just the smallest serving of pasta I have ever seen with a random piece of salmon on top. Apparently she thought we just wanted the Pomadoro Pasta with salmon added on it. The pasta was seriously about 3 bites eat when split and nothing special about it. Â Not what I would expect for a $14.95 pasta plate.
I was pretty disappointed, but hoped the salmon would be better. Â We cleared up the salmon mix up and she put in the order for the Grilled Bourbon Salmon. The serving sizes were equally sad, or possibly worse. For $21.95, we each got about a spoonful of quinoa, a credit card sized piece of salmon, and a few slices of zucchini and tomatoes. Each plate also came out in about 5-10 minutes of ordering which made me a little suspicious how fresh the food is here. Â We got a bottle of Pinot Grigio with dinner, which was good but very standard.
The server was apologetic, but no discounts on the bill. We left hungry and dissatisfied. It was also our 5 year wedding anniversary, so not a fun experience at all for a very special night. I would maybe come back here for happy hour or try an appetizer, but I would never do dinner here again.
Bison burger... hands down.
One of my favorite burgers I've had - the meat is so tender and seasoned well. Their prices are reasonable and they have some specials on decent wine.
Overall their food is good here (tried most of their burgers), and service is decent. The ambiance is nice, but not too fancy. Great spot in Old Town.
Love this place...and I'm serious. I love it from the heart. I took my wife here for the second time last night and she and I look at going as a real treat and worth the drive from North Scottsdale. It is so good to experience this place and enjoy some nice music, great food and oh yes wine. The service and owners are truly classy people and I have known them for years. I have no problems recommending 5th and WIne and I'd go every day if I could. My wife had their salmon, which was incredible, and the settings was awesome. We love the eclectic look of the place and our server was really nice and perfect. When we left the owners took time out to thank us and then some. My goodness I wish more restaurants were like this. I really enjoy going here. Its got a great outside patio, has great music and I think I just may have to make this a regular thing! When I told my wife last night we're going to 5th and WIne she said one word: "AWESOME!"
That's what I love to hear. Bravo 5th and WIne! I really hope you're reading this. You all have made us feel more than just customers, you all make us feel like family, and its truly an honor to visit your fine establishment!
The Great: delicious chicken & pesto entree, tasty wine, outdoor seating, Wonderful server Nadine!
The Could Be Better: the acoustics inside the restaurant are just awful, leading to the sound of people talking to become intolerably LOUD, bartenders not well versed in food preparation/ingredients and not motivated to confirm with the kitchen staff.
I got my first Happy Hour glass of wine
Bought it at the 5th and Wine
Drank it till my face turned red
Was the summer in the 2000s
Me and some guys from work
Had a craving so we ordered some food
Glass of wine, plate of bruschetta
Shoulda known, we've finished it all
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always want to be there
Those were the best of 5th and Wine
(Bryan Adams - Summer of 69)
5th and Wine is located right in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Â Off 5th Ave and Goldwater. Â It's snugged inside the art area. Â I've always enjoy coming here during HH! Â $5 for a glass of wine! Â They have a huge list to choose from so you won't be missing out on any of your favorites. Â
My gang and I ordered a plate of bruschetta and we were good! Â Hummus, Steak, Prosciutto, and Apple/Brie on a nice plate and atop a crunchy bread -- Yum! Â Totally enjoyed this combo with my wine -- My favorite is Pinot Noir. Â Though I did try their burgers; I would try to stick with food that goes well with your wine. Â I think the burgers are pretty original with different ingreidients like bison with corn, but man it didn't do much for me. Â
The place itself is pretty casual and classy with some interesting artwork. Â There's a small living room-like area where you could chill while people watch. Â However, this is also the area where the band generally plays. Â Live music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights! - Enjoy!
Amazing Cobb salad at 5th and Wine last night. Â I really enjoyed the two fried eggs on top, and all the ingredients were fresh and flavorful! Â Of course the wine was also nice, as was the bruschetta. Â I wish the bruschetta were sliced in fours rather than an uneven three slices, but for the most part they were enjoyable. Â But, I'd skip the steak one next time. Â Our service was good, and I would definitely go back for a quieter evening in Old Town.
One note, we made reservations online ahead of time, but the restaurant didn't have them when we got there! Â If I were you, I'd call rather than use the online system - it sounded like ours was not the first reservation not to reach the restaurant!
I couldn't be happier with 5th and Wine - I was first introduced to the restaurant a few years ago when they supported AZ ALS Association by cooking for an event I volunteered for.
Since then, I've had several date nights and lunch meetings, at 5th and Wine, and I've never been disappointed. The atmosphere is always comfortable, the servers treat you like they know you, and the food is mouthwatering (the fries and soups are among my faves!).
If they hadn't already won me over, they did this past weekend. We had an event and the original caterer had an emergency and cancelled on short notice. Scott (the General Manager), took care of everything. He put together a menu of crowd-pleasers that kept us well within budget and saved the day. Thank you!!
Visited with friends for happy hour during the week. Surprisingly empty but pleasant none the less. Service was "mediocre" (nothing great, nothing awful) and the drinks / appetizers (pino gris, sangria, sweet potato fries, bruschetta) the same.
Overall "A-OK" - wouldn't mind visiting again since everything was so pleasant, just not a "knock your socks off" kind of place.
Went back again and had another great time. Steve is the manager that waited on us last time I found out and this time he stopped by the table to say hi. This place has great food, service and happy hour prices. HIGHLY suggest you go there. :)
We again ordered the Brushetta which is AMAZING, sweet/garlic fries YUMM. My friend had red wine and I had some champagne. We also had the wrapped breadsticks, but I wasnt a fan...Thats ok tho.
They are so cool there and down to earth. It was so fun and I will be back again!
Thank you again for a fun time!
Hats off to the crew here! Â We were in town on business and thought the place looked cool on line so we made an open table reservation. Â As out of towners, didn't know Scottsdale is a ghost town on Sunday nights so we hopped in a can and headed over. Â About half way there, they called to ask if we were going to come as they were going to close early. We told them we were on the way and they agreed to stay open. Â Thanks, Steven! Â
Great wine selection, great food! Â We had the mixed garlic fries and a variety of bruschetta and were impressed! Â They even suggested a great place for dessert!
This is an update/addition to my review. Â I was recently contacted through Yelp by Randi the bartender at 5th & Wine with a "compliment". Â I decided to post it as I wonder if the owners are aware or even concerned that an employee would contact a customer with such an unprofessional and "inaccurate" statement of a review. Â The following is the actual message.
From Randi:
I think I just LOL'd my pants! Please review Arizona State liquor laws. Not only me, but other guests you were harrassing (which you thought you were being delughtful with) stated you you were intoxicated. We close at 11:00 pm and you were gone long before we closed. You ordered the 2nd bottle of wine at 6pm.....only 5 hours before we closed. Bottom line, you were showing obvious signs of intoxication, you camped out at the bar all night and only ordered happy hour appetizers. It was me that brought out the "ok at best" brownie for your friend, you didn't order it. If you actually are in the industry, you would understand, continuing to serve you would be breaking the law and would put the business in jeopardy. Grow up. Join us in the responsible adult arena.
Yelp reviews are a great tool for owners and managers to fine tune their businesses. Â As stated in my original review the owners would definitely be wise retrain some of their staff on judgement and customer service.
I loved my first experience at 5th and Wine! After multiple girlfriends have raved about this place, I was able to experience it for myself last night. I loved the Portobello Burger with Goat Cheese and Carmelized onions, & the sweet potato fries were awesome.
Its a nice, quiet place with dim lighting and intimate seating. It's perfect for a date night or girls night :) Ours was the latter.
5th and Wine was recommended to me when I was searching for a place to hold our work holiday party. I read the Yelp reviews and decided it would be the perfect location. We had our party last Thursday. We had a party of 13 and I requested a table on the patio. The weather was perfect and they had the table all ready for us. Â Our waitress was Nadine, she was awesome, she made sure we had everything we needed and was very attentive. There was live music on the patio shortly after we got there and they were great.
Some of us got there shortly before 6:00 and were able to take advantage of the great happy hour specials. Most of their wines being $5 per glass or $20 per bottle. I also bought another glass of wine at the full price of $10, but was able to get $2 off through Yelp when I checked in.
Some of the food was awesome, including the seasoned sweet potato fries, but other parts were disappointing. I got the portobello burger and the portobello mushroom was rather small. My husband got the prime rib special and the piece of meat was large and delicious, but the vegetables that came with it were almost non-existent.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant, the positives far out weighed the negatives.
*This review is for a Tuesday evening*
Made my first visit tonight with some co-workers, and everything I had heard about 5th & Wine was true. Clean, unique establishment w/ good service and great ambience. Their BBQ wings came highly recommended, and I'm not a big wings guy, but goddamn... they were AMAZING: flavorful, meaty wings that seemed to be cooked perfectly. I seriously couldn't get enough of them. Their garlic fries were also great, as was my caesar salad. My Stella came out with a nice ice cold pint glass. They have a pretty extensive food and wine menu, but not overwhelming. Their Elk burger caught my eye while scanning the menu, so I have a good reason to go back.
This lovely hidden gem is like a mirage in our desert playground....you think it was a figment of your imagination. But it exists as a rarity though I'm happy to keep it off the radar. The inside belies the spaciousness of the spot and the decor infuses so much energy, you won't be without conversation long! However, sat outside because that's always a measure of attentive service.
Our server was French and completely knowledgable, charming and attentive. Hands down, the bruschetta boards are phenomenal and blows any competition out there. For my linebacker appetite, the bison and elk burgers hit the spot for my protein intake. Was disappointed the elk was slightly over done. Overall, I would choose this as my go to spot for date or get togethers!
This is one of those places that I always seem to forget to review. Â I guess maybe because it seems everyone already knows this place is great!!
The important details you need to know:
- Live music sometimes
- Great happy hour food specials
- Most wines (3/4 of the wine list) is $5 a glass before 6pm. Â Use your Yelp check-in offer to drop that to $3. Â YES I SAID THREE DOLLARS!!!!!!
- Great bruschetta, burgers, and everything else. Chef's specials are often enough vegetarian so that's nice for someone like me
- Great back patio that isn't super obvious to a first-timer that it exists
- Clean bathrooms! You know all of the above doesn't matter in the slightest bit if the restrooms are nasty
- Wine specials on the 5th of every month. Â Now, I have never participated but I think it's like $2 for a specific wine. But since you can use the Yelp check-in offer, I haven't bothered since it's cah-razy cheap every day!!
Awesome place. When the weather is nice, take advantage of the outside patio. But the inside is cool, too. Great paintings and nicely appointed. We began with the Apples, Brie, & Fig Jam bruschetta which was excellent. Both the spinach salad and strawberry-gorgonzola salad were perfect lunch-sized portions, very fresh, and very delicious. Our server was welcoming and attentive. And of course, a great selection of wines.
Great place. Plan on returning again...and again...and again.
Coming up on their three year anniversary, Rich Sullivan -proud owner of this establishment proudly stated that this restaurant was always intended to be a "neighborhood gathering spot...more of a home away from home." Â When the space was created, he said they deliberately set aside living room seating, and have a 40 seat private dining area ideal for rehearsal dinners and the like. Â The courtyard patio, is shaded and misted in the summers and warmed by heaters in the winter. Â Three nights a week there is live music, Thurs-Sat from 6:30-9:30p.
It is an attractive and inviting space, but more inviting is their menu of wines and noshes.
5th and Wine is considered to have one the "most extensive wine by the glass programs" with about 40 wines - half of which are available daily until 6p for only $5. Â The wines range from Prosecco from Italy to Sparkling White from New Mexico, to Pinots from France, Cabernets from California, a divine Riesling fro Rheingau, Germany, and a Petite Sirah titled "Drops of Jupiter" from Train.
To pair with the many wines there are a selection of sharable foods such as an antipasto plate (speck ham, prosciutto, salami, coppa ham, roasted olives, and choice of 4 cheeses for $15), Bruschetta (choice of 2, 4, or 6 ranging from mozzarella and tomato to peppercorn crusted steak with horseradish $6.95-$13.95), and Prosciutto wrapped bread sticks. Â There is also a sizeable menu of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pastas.
On a recent visit here, I had a wine flight which was paired with the following dishes. Â All of them were outstanding and I will come back here just to eat the House Fries!
1. A sparkling white from New Mexico, Domaine Saint-Vincent. Â Very clean, refreshing, not too much effervescence and perfect with the chopped salad (roasted tukey, salami, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a light herb vinaigrette). Â Also very lovely with the excellent bruschettas we sampled such as the tomato, mozzarella, and basil with a balsamic reduction.
2. A Pinot Gris from Carmel Road, Monterey. Â Long, clean finish, and a very smooth and drinkable wine. Â Rich claimed it goes great with any food. Â It was amazing paired with their House French Fries doused in parsley, lemon, garlic, pecorino, and chili flakes - and dipped in their garlic aoli. Â Divine!
3. Chardonnay from Murphy-Goode, California. Â Some buttery flavor to this one, oaky and well balanced. Â Had great aroma, and also a great drinking and food wine. Â This wine I enjoyed with 5th's Mac and Cheese (carmody, white cheddar, green chilies, and leeks) Â The best Mac and Cheese I have ever had!
4.  Pinot Noir  from Le Village, Vin de Pays.
Wow. Â Not being a fan of reds, I was very impressed with this very earthy and not overly tannic Pinot. Â With fruit on the nose and acid on the finish, it may not be the ideal drinking wine for me, but as Rich stated it is a "friendly food wine". Â It was marvelous with the Chicken Pesto Pasta, a dish I highly recommend here!
5. Â Zinfandel from Marcella, Lot 57.
Having never had a red zin before, this certainly was a great introductory red. Â It had a clean, simple finish with a lot of fruit, and surprisingly a lot of alcohol content as well. Â Also another great selection for the flight!
6. Â Cabernet Sauvignon, Cannonball, California.
The sommelier selected this one as the final wine in the flight because he felt this was a "good solid representation of California Wine." Â With its long body and oaky and earthy taste, it was a great finale to our flight.
The Happy Hour features some great noshes for $3-$6 Monday through Friday from 3pm-6pm. Â Wines are $5, specialty cocktails $7.
I will come here time and again, and bring my little one on Sundays when kids eat free!
I came here for the first time last night with a girlfriend for appetizers, and was really pleased with my experience. Unforunately, we missed happy hour by only a few minutes, but we had a blast anyways!
For starters, I really loved the decor of the place. Â Red chairs, tables of all sizes, with such a great atmosphere. Â There's room to spread out some, so its not like your sitting on top of one another. Â Menu selection and prices were great, and the place was jam packed!
My friend and I went with the shrimp appetizer and split it. Â Order came out quickly, and the dish was so cute looking! Served with crackers, some sauce and some other stuff, we dug in immediately. Â The shrimp was spicy! But in a good way...we both were surprised, but whatever it was marinated in had a nice kick to it.
Overall, I had a really great experience here. So you ask, why not 5 stars? Well, here's why. Â First, parking here can be a bit tight. The later you go, the more difficult it will be to get parking. This is a very popular part of town, with lots of other locations around 5th and wine to hang out at. Â There is a parking structure, but plan on doing a little walking in case you go for a late dinner. Â (Really its not that bad, but if your in heels or the weather is poor, come prepared!) Â
Secondly, the happy hour ended at 6. UM, most people work and can't get there that early! Â my schedule allows me to get their earlier, but would be nice if they extended it until 7, especially on a Friday. Â Thirdly, our server was fine, but overall she didn't seem to take much interest in spending time at our table. Â She would literally continue walking and ask if everything was okay without hardly stopping. Yes, I know its a busy Friday night, but she seemed like she just wasn't interested.
Anyways, place is great, I love it here, and I will probably be back for more in the future!
