The Lodge

Food was great. Excellent service.  If you want to eat, go early.  Otherwise the place turns into more of a bar/pick up scene which was fine, just not what I was looking for as far as evening entertainment.

Again, great food and excellent service.  I would go again, earlier in the evening.

I have two words: Stimulus Package

All day, Every day, you can walk in to The Lodge, and you can say to the bartender "Stimulus Package" and you will receive a PBR, a shot of whiskey, and a cigarette. You then fork over $6 and you're good... real good if  you've gotten started on the Stimulus Package.

Normally the aforementioned information would be all that needs to be said about a place but, the Lodge deserves more. I worked right down the road and I ended up here almost every Friday for happy hour, some Saturday nights early, several lunches on all days of the week, St. Paddy's day... and the list goes on.

The food is as good as bar food gets, there is pool, darts, bags (or corn hole), a great patio, lots of TVs ideally located for watching sports, and it looks like a log cabin.

The Lodge is the best bar in Scottsdale.

If you like clubs there are a shit load of them a stones throw so the Lodge is a great starting point. If you're looking for something that's not a club and you started at the Lodge head on down to Pattie's because thats a damn good night in Scottsdale.

This is a great place to start the night.  It's a very casual and low key place to hang out.
You can go outside and play corn hole or hang inside and play some pool in the back room.  They play good music and I like the vibe here.  The service has always been good, even for big groups.  

They have a great happy hour for drink and food specials.  I usually drink wine or beer on special and have enjoyed their chicken tenders, bacon macaroni and cheese, and nachos.  All were excellent!
