    Rift is a super legit spot. I live pretty close by and today we took a scooter ride over. This place is neighboring one of my favorite hot yoga spots, and the optimal situation is a yoga class to detox then hop over to rift for a beer or wine ;) Rift has an excellent selection of beers on tap with some of my faves- Pure Project, Revision, and Wren House. They also have great can selection. The staff/ owners are super friendly and it's a very beautiful space that is comfortable and esthetically pleasing. They have some really great food trucks during the week and it can get pretty busy for those after work hours.

    This is an awesome wine/beer room. They have plenty of great options to drink. They have bar, table and lounge seating with plenty of fun board games. My wife and I loved having a cute date night here. The staff are super friendly and helpful with any questions. They also seem to have a recording room in the back. Still curious about how they use that. ‍

    If u judge a book by its cover, u're definitely missing out on this place! The outside appearance doesn't look like much, but take a leap and jump inside! There's a super cool vibe and refreshing feel waiting for u! They have couches for u to slouch on as low as u wanna go! My first time ever trying a wine called Bobal and what ever house brand they carry, it was YUMMY! I'm no wine connoisseur, so u'll have to try it for yourself! We closed down the place and the bartender was super patient & cool about it! I'll definitely catch another rift of this place soon!

    We usually visit Rift when the RandomAf food truck is serving dinner outside -- the best birria!! But Rift has a great selection on tap and in cans that you can take home. They also have board games and plenty of tables to accommodate guests. When the weather is nice, it's nice to have the option to eat outside, but the ambience is definitely better inside, not next to the busy road.

    Really enjoyed our Rift take out last night. No dishes to do.

    This part of Scottsdale just keeps getting better! This month this addition is is the perfect complement to this burgeoning neighborhood. Placed right next to the now defunct Rouge Bar, steps from The Hiltons new Bixby Hotel, and in an old Korean Liquor store shell is this town newest cool spot to drink expertly crafted beers, and a solid selection of wines . The place kind of looks sparse but that's by design of todays standards keeping us at our distance, but it does get busy, as its no longer a secret. The large bank of beer coolers have a huge variety of amazing beers including my favorites from Second Chance in San Diego! Create a 6 pack to go or order any to drink in house. Wines are similar they have a great selection of well chosen wine at just the right price. Grab a bottle and they will open it up for you, choose from a sturdy list of by the glass, or mix and match a few to go, most for 2 for TWENTY BUCKS! What!? The owners are real wine guys but have certainly not ignored us beer drinkers. Nary a bud light insight but that just goes to show they are all about quality over quantity. The crowd is mostly from the hood or on the way home from a shift of bartending or waiting tables. Everyone so far is pretty chill and friendly especially the owners Jonathon and Damien. Pro tip: Have the chef at work make you some carry out and pair it with the most relaxed wine list in The Valley or even some In and Out to pair with some hazy IPA's as food options here are still a little limited. They seem pretty relaxed about bringing in your own food. All I have to say about Rift is, all this good stuff, if you have been displaced by Papago's closing try this, and Welcome to my block!

    So thankful to live just a short walk away from Rift! I've gone twice now and I've had a lovely experience both times. If you're lucky there might even be a food truck outside when you drop in! They have an excellent selection of drinks on tap and so many more to choose from in their fridge. My partner was so happy to see they had one of his favorite IPAs from one of our favorite breweries in San Diego! The atmosphere is nice and the staff are so friendly. I can't wait to spend more time here!

    Fun spot to stop in for a beer or two. Plenty of seating around the bar, high top tables and at couches. My guy and I enjoy bringing our vegan take out from Green (across the street) here and having a drink while eating. Good team behind the bar that knows their beers and will recommend things if asked. No food made in the bar, but they seem to have food trucks parked here most of the time.

    love love love this place they even had a food truck out front. This is my new favorite hangout.

    One of our new favorite local stops! Rift opened a few months ago and we're so glad they're here! The owners are absolutely amazing and so kind, they all try to remember everyone's names (as we are all neighbors), and are so outgoing. They've partnered with food trucks that park out front, and have an amazingly designed bar that is meant for people to talk to each other. We've been here quite a few times now and have always enjoyed the company. Would absolutely recommend coming here if you're in the area, I love that Damian and Troy are all about local everything. It's refreshing to have such a modern and open space to hangout and meet new people. When we were last here we were talking to Damian about new things coming, Rift is definitely a place you're going to want to keep an eye on (in the best way).

    The bartenders are so knowledgeable about their current tap list so I always just order "the best hazy ipa you have".

It's the kind of restaurant that makes getting dressed up feel exciting and worth it, and I absolutely loved that about the experience. It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

    After the great dinner we had last night, we worried that this might be a letdown. It wasn't. Great…read morecraft cocktails. The crab cake appetizer had a ton of flavor, the meatballs were good as was the whipped feta dip, though it was quite sweet. For the entree, my mom and I got the wild mushroom pasta with chicken. Excellent and not too rich. Just a great meal and half the price of where we went last night.

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.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
