Scottsdale's oldest tavern, open 365 days a year! Coach House is a dive bar through and through, and I can certainly appreciate a good dive bar that opens early enough for a mimosa or an ice-cold Busch Light on tap! Indoor seating is limited, but there's plenty of room to spread out on the spacious outdoor patio. Grab a beer or cocktail, catch some football on the big screens, and enjoy a little people-watching and admiring the nice cars cruising along Indian Bend Road. If you get hungry, Tony's Bites food truck is right there serving up delicious grilled food to go with your drinks! Nothing fancy, just a laid-back Scottsdale staple with cold drinks, a lively patio, and plenty of character. Exactly what a good dive bar should be! read more

Cute dive bar in Scottsdale. I like to pop in around the holidays for some festive fun. The place is decorated throughout the winter months and is usually crowded. Seams to be a lot of regulars. I find both the bar staff and security staff to be friendly. Don't expect to find a nice wine or any but they have plenty of beer and can make most cocktails. They do have mini bottles of Cook's sparkling wine if you are looking for some bubbles but no prosecco. Hit it up for the holidays for the lights and fun crowds. read more

Is the Coach house is in Arizona staples. However, I had a horrible experience this evening. Orlando was absolutely over the top road to me and my friends. I waited in line for 45 minutes to get into the Coach house. I paid $10 to get in and went inside with my friends. I popped outside to grab one of my friends who was in the front of the line in Orlando told me I had to go back to the end of the line and was extremely rude and aggressive. This is an overpriced over Kitchie ridiculous situation up in Scottsdale. read more

I was approached by a white dude at 145am morning after Halloween wearing full military garb. With a shemag and everything. First off he was with white girl wearing full military garb as well (like an ice agent) but with a corset and heels. He was extremely unprofessional. After he had been gandering at my (sexy dressed) non white girl multiple times I could tell his gf was annoyed. He finally approached to tell me not to vape inside. Totally understandable, I had 3 drinks and didn't realize I puffed inside. Even though I blew it away from anyone. There's no nicotine as I quit smoking and the place was pretty dead. However he came with attitude and disrespect. I asked if he was working there and he exclaimed He works there but was not working there at the moment. I said why aren't you wearing a security shirt or anything if you're trying to work at a security capacity?. It's kind of weird to be wearing that garb and be demanding. He told me to "f" off. I said "wow." I went to express my discontentment with security after we walked out behind their security barriers. I was met with a security guard that immediately said the guy was in fact an employee but doesn't "represent them" and then proceeded to respond to us in a very dismissive and rude manner and said my treatment was ok. The outside security never asked me to leave before saying he was trespassing me. I said "why?" because I was alerting you to an individual who told me to "f" off while in full military garb? Mind you I was already outside the security barrier before even mentioning this to him. Totally bizarre. Been coming here for about a decade. Idk if I'll be back. Anyways I decided to film the encounter as soon as the security decided it was ok to be rude without reason. Maybe don't have drunk? or questionably unhinged employees trying to work as security guards when off the clock. Also you need to officially tell patrons to leave before trespassing them. He was calling the cops on me lol at the end of the video. Total quacks. On a side note the bartenders are total sweethearts and awesome. They heard me tell them my grievance in a calm and sweet manner. The weird security guard outside has a short temper and is inept and unprofessional. It's 245 and I finally made it back to my hotel room. read more

I had heard about Coach House from several friends and by some pure luck, I ended up at this dive bar on Christmas. A Christmas miracle of sorts. Coach House is a year-round Christmas-themed bar. Located in Old Town Scottsdale, a block or two away from Fifth Avenue, there's a parking lot that was pretty full when I arrived. If you can't find a spot, you can find some free street parking close by (max of three hours). Ambiance (4/5): A lot of holiday pop-ups these days have entrance fees and expensive holiday-themed cocktails. You'll find none of that pretentiousness here. There's no entrance fee and no elaborate cocktails. The reason to visit is the multitude of Christmas lights that adorn both the patio and the indoor area. There are also a bunch of TVs which makes it a good spot to check out the game. It's mostly a patio bar, but there is some room indoors too. As well as Golden Tee and another game. Service (4.5/5): There's a bouncer checking your ID before you come in. From there, there's a larger bar inside where you can order a drink from one of two bartenders (at least when I was there) or a smaller outdoor bar with one bartender (at least when I was there). There's a cash discount (which I always appreciate). What that means is that they don't charge you tax if you pay by cash. While the bar was busy, the bartenders working were efficient. Food (N/A): Coach House doesn't serve food but they did have a Mexican food truck posted up on the patio while I was there. I didn't have any food during my visit though. Drinks (N/A): Since The Coach House is a dive bar, expect a full bar, but don't expect fancy cocktails. Ordering simple mixed drinks or beer is the way to go. They were out of Montucky Cold Snacks so I went with a Woodchuck Cider for $6. Affordable prices in the heart of Scottsdale... I'll take that any day of the week! Speaking of Christmas miracles, while I was sipping my beer on the patio, I saw two black SUVs pull up. A group of people came out of the cars and there was one person who I immediately recognized. Former NBA MVP and multiple NBA all-star Steve Nash! As a big basketball fan, having a brew at the same bar as a Phoenix Suns legend was pretty epic. On Christmas nonetheless. read more

What a fun place! First time in Scottsdale and brought family from out of town and we had a blast. Bartenders were so quick at making drinks and very friendly. Love the touch tunes, great variety of music. read more

I came here after my 25-year high school reunion, and the experience at the door was incredibly disappointing. When I politely asked if there was any way to skip the line, the man at the door told us it would be $20 per person. I agreed and handed him the money, but he became rude and confrontational over the bills. When I told him he wasn't being kind, he shoved the money back into my purse and told me to "get out of here." I've tried calling the establishment several times to speak with a manager, but no one ever answers. No guest should be treated this way. This was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. I hope management takes this seriously because this kind of behavior drives people away. I asked the young man to get a manager, and he said that he was the security manager and gave me a very nasty and mean look, dead in the eyes like I had done something so horrible to him. It hurts my heart that people behave like this. I hope that whoever runs this business reads this and realizes they should not hire such individuals. The picture below is of us at the Beverly down the street. We had a lovely evening. We didn't let the rude security guy ruin our night. read more

It's an annual traditional amongst my friends to go to Coach House on Thanksgiving Eve. Every inch of the interior and exterior is covered with Christmas lights. It's a great way to get into the holiday mood. However, be ready for 45 minute line if you arrive after 8:30pm on that night. Most other nights there is no significant line. Prices are average for Old Town. It's no longer the dive bar deal or once was. As one of the oldest bars in Scottsdale, its western, dive bar, sports bar vibe is worth a stop. read more

This place was the go to spot for a fun place to go around the holidays! It was PACKED throughout December and still see it busy in the months following that. Bartenders are friendly and you order st the bar on your own. Not too much seating as it's a smaller bar but lots of standing tables. The lack of seats didn't make me want to stay as long but the atmosphere kept us there for a few hours! Not your typical "Scottsdale place" but definitely a gem! read more

Stood outside in line for almost 30 minites for no other reason than the fact that the mediocre band was in the middle of a set. Felt like a stunt to make it look like the place is a hot spot to those driving by. Either way, it was probably a blessing. It's an honest-to-goodness dive bar with tacky year-round Christmas decorations that burn the corneas. Think I dodged a bullet on this one. The vibe is mid-life crisis and long-term botox injections. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Coach House! We'd just come from another spot in Scottsdale that was very pricey, so it was nice to be able to get some tasty refreshing drinks without breaking the bank. Our bartender (I think Drew was his name??) was super friendly with our group and gave us some great recommendations for quality food in the area to try before we left to go back to the East Coast. The vibe is immaculate -- Christmas lights from floor to ceiling? Yes please, sign me right up. The experience was 10/10 and if I ever find myself back in Scottsdale, Coach House will definitely be on my list of places to visit again! read more

I was riding by on a bus back from a work dinner, and all of a sudden a building is lighting up the darkness of a night like a Christmas tree. What on earth was it?! My colleague and I checked it on the map and saw that it was none other than Coach House, allegedly one of Scottsdale's oldest dive bars. On my last night in town, I made a point to go there, and I had no regrets! It's not just the outside that's completely lit up -- it's the inside too! It's quite photogenic, and the bartender was so friendly! For the area, the cocktails were priced at like $5-$6... so great in comparison! Shout out to the Family Guy pinball machine in the corner! I was really feeling the divey vibe. I think they have food too -- but I didn't get a chance to try it. Maybe next time! This place makes me want to visit the area again. read more

Great local bar with friendly staff, cozy vibe, and solid drinks--perfect spot to relax and unwind."

Worst service ever. Was out with clients, yelled at us to move. We did. Then proceeded to curse us out and throw both of our drinks on the ground. Bartender was 16. Dirty, smelly, terribly run establishment and me and my entire clientele and office will never be going back. read more

Stopped by on a Tuesday night since we've driven by a few times. Apart from the showy holiday lights, there's not much this place offers. There were maybe 10 or so people scattered throughout the bar. It seemed like regulars, most older than 40 years. Overall, pretty chill atmosphere. A bottle of Blue Moon or draft will run you $6. I wouldn't say the bartenders are nice, but they aren't rude either - they're just there. There are a couple TVs with ESPN on, a jukebox, and both indoor and outdoor seating (majority of it was outdoor seating). The indoor area had lights strung up on the walls (very on-brand) but they're harsh on the eyes with explosive neon blues. Must be 21+ to enter. Not sure I'd come back... read more

I'm gonna give this place 5 starts because it is the epitome of what a dive bar is supposed to be. Cheap cocktails and mixture of charactors. Young people mmixed with old, totally different goups all coexisting and having fun at an establishment. Oh and they have a tasty taco truck outside. Did I mention that the drinks are cheap?

My favorite little "dive bar" while in town. With all of the fancy and pricy spots in town- this is my favorite spot for a cocktail and chill atmosphere.

The cutest Christmas bar! The lights are up year round, but feel especially special during the holidays. We waited in line for about 30 minutes before getting in, but you could also pay $20 a head to the bouncers to skip the line. There is a full bar - their seltzers are high noons and there is a food truck there for little snacks and small bites! read more

How could you not love the Coach house? I walked over after the Canal Convergence event and had a beer before I called my Lyft to go home. They have all their Christmas lights up and it was packed. With so many changes in the neighborhood, and in life in general, it is like visiting an old friend for me always. I love this place. read more

Coach House - Having a beer after the Canal convergence. - Dive Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Coach House in Scottsdale is a must-visit when it's decked out in its dazzling Christmas lights--an absolute spectacle! I don't live in the area so hard to say if I would be there throughout the year. I think there's a big opportunity missed when I found out that they don't put lights up or even change the light color for other holidays. That being said, the twinkling lights create the most festive and inviting atmosphere, making it feel like you've stepped into a winter wonderland. The drinks, while solid, are your typical bar fare--nothing overly remarkable, but perfectly enjoyable for the setting. The real charm of the place lies in its fun, laid-back vibe. It's a great social spot, especially outside, which is perfect for chatting and enjoying the lively atmosphere. read more

Came here for new years and a birthday. Bouncer was the most incredibly rude human I've had the pleasure of interacting with. After half of our group went in we had a friend whose ID scanned but apparently said "invalid." Bouncer then threatened to not give our friend her ID back until we threatened to call the cops. Would not support a business when its employees interact with people like that. read more

Got kicked out by a bartender because I only had apple pay to Pay(which they don't have) and my friends card declined and kindly asked a stranger if I could Zelle him to buy us a drink. Was having a great night with all my friends who I get to see less then once a year. Seriously upsetting but what can you do. Would not advise going here if ur not ready to take bull shit from angry bartenders even when your using manners. Hadn't had more then 1 drink-- was truly a disgraceful way to treat an innocent customer. Asked the bouncer why we got kicked out and he couldn't give us a single reason. There's much better bars in old town I wouldn't waste my time trying this place. read more

Cute little dive bar. The Christmas lights are up year round, but they added some fun decorations for the holiday! I've been here twice. The first time was no wait but the second time we waited a good 40 minutes in line. But hey, the holidays are always busy especially for a bar with Christmas lights around Christmas time. I like that they have water jugs and cups out to make it easy to stay hydrated. read more

My friend and I were excited to go here last Sunday for the Bills game because I had been in the past (albeit probably 5+ years ago) and thought it would be a fun place to bring someone from out of town. The male bartender (someone said he was even the manager) was so rude. A man went up and asked him to put a certain game on and they went to get the remote. We then asked for the Bills game as the Giants game was already playing on 5 of the TVs and he said he doesn't change the channels and had a very rude attitude. We turned around and left and even the bouncer rolled his eyes when we told him the manager's response. Will not be going back. read more

Very cool dive bar. Friendly staff and quick service. Who doesn't like Christmas lights in FEBRUARY?! Haha it sets up a festive mood which I think everyone is out to find. They don't serve food at the main bar but they have a great food cart standing by. We ordered nachos and asada tacos and they were so bomb. Like really good. Even the salsa was good. You just place your order and they bring it to you. Would definitely come here again to hang out with friends. read more

Coach House has never let me down. Great place to watch a game, meet for drinks, stop in for a "short stay" and end up seeing more people you know, and end up staying the rest of the day and night. I do miss the old smaller building, but it's still a great place to spend some time. Don't miss this place during the holiday months. read more

For the type of place this is, it's 4 stars. Cheap drinks, good vibes, no entry fees or anything. You walk right up to the bar and essentially get drinks and can hang wherever. I will say it felt like an older scene though. If we were in the area I would stop by again. My only feedback is the bathroom could use a little makeover/ some hygiene maintenance. read more

When I first visited this place my timing must have been bad. Still kinda smelly still have cigarette smoke everywhere and the drinks are still so so. Do not order anything complicated.

Arrogant bartender, disrespectful to women, only later to find out from the staff that he's actually the manager. This past Saturday night I went to Coach House for the first time. I ordered a drink at the main bar inside. It was very busy and was taking a long time to make it. So I went to the bathroom and came right back. I was gone maybe 3 to 4 minutes. When I got back the bar manager had the drink sitting there and started yelling at me asking if I even wanted it. He taunted me holding the drink up and then pulling it back away as he said if I didn't want it he'd just take it back. He was so angry out of nowhere that I honestly was afraid he did something to the drink. So I said okay take it back and he immediately turned around and chucked it out. I was so thrown off and in shock of his behavior. I tried to ask him what I did wrong and he gave me more attitude, was extremely dismissive, waving me off and telling me to go away. I simply wanted to know what I could have possibly done to upset him so much but he wouldn't give me any explanation and just yelled at me not to talk to him. He was on such a power trip that he called a security guard over and told him to kick me out. I didn't argue and went with the security guard to the entrance. After I followed them out I was talking to the bouncer, still bewildered and trying to understand what just happened. Even more to my surprise, I found out that the bartender I ordered from was in fact the bar manager and so there was nothing they could do. My whole group saw all of this happening and left the bar because of it. I feel extremely disrespected by the way your bar manager treated me and the complete lack of regard he showed for his actions. I fear for any other women that have to interact with him and for the rest of your staff having someone as arrogant and inconsiderate as him in a management position. read more
