    a pool table and pool balls
    Armando O.

    Total dive bar but fun and friendly atmosphere. Have 3 pool tables and 1 dart board. If you like all types of music this is a good stop, everything from country to rap, so really a mixed bag of people. Cheap cold beers and .50 pool. Good place for an inexpensive fun night.

    This place could be fun, but there was only 1 bartender who couldn't keep up and it wasn't the best experience unfortunately.

    Cool spot. Sports on, billiards, darts, friendly staff, and they let us bring in food. Will definitely be back!

    Unsanitary and full of grime take a shower with bleach when you get home. Don't drink anything but beer unless you want to get sick.

Honestly, I have no idea how it got those reviews. Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.

    I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out, it was such a vibe!…read more I came around 530 pm on a Tuesday and it was busy. There is a small parking lot that they share with the coffee shop next door, but it was full and I had to park on the street. Indoor/outdoor seating is available, and it was the perfect night for being outside. I loved the string lights and the sunset was awesome. They offer beer, cider and white claw here. The person working let me sample a few beers before I decided on the Birthday Suit beer. It was delicious! There are food trucks/tents throughout the week, and on this day there was a pizza place. I didn't order one but they did smell and look delicious. There was even a small brick oven! Goldwater also puts on Bend and Brew events with Hot Yoga University when the weather is nice. It is a lot of fun! I can't wait to check this place out again.

    Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

    I had heard about Coach House from several friends and by some pure luck, I ended up at this dive…read morebar 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.

    Is the Coach house is in Arizona staples. However, I had a horrible experience this evening…read more 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.

    This was such a nice hole in the wall.

The only thing is you need to ask for extra bread, the bread that was given just wasn't enough, but they made some fresh pieces just for us! The pizza crust is so crispy without even a touch of the bottom being burnt. We will definitely be back!

    I've heard about Craft 64 and we spotted it while driving through old town so decided to stop in…read morefor drinks and an appetizer. The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.
