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.

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).

On a Sunday fun day, we stopped by The Wine Collective of Scottsdale for some vino. Located in Old…read moreTown Scottsdale, this winery, while it doesn't have a parking lot, is surrounded by free street parking. I Ubered but I saw that there was a good amount of parking as I walked in. Ambiance (3.5/5): A small but homey winery. You're not in wine country, so you won't have scenic views, but it is a nice place to have some wine. We sat at some high tops close to the bar. Service (4/5): Friendly service. If you're doing a wine tasting, they'll tell you a little bit about each wine. Food (N/A): We were on a liquid diet during this visit. Drinks (4/5): The Wine Collective participates in the Scottsdale Wine Walk along with five other wineries in Old Town. You can get a passport at any of the locations for $5 and then you'll receive a discount off of flights at each. You also get a stamp upon completing your mission at each spot. They only had one passport left, so luckily I was able to start the challenge. They have several different flights, more than just your standard red or white, including one where they will customize the flight based on your preferences. Pretty awesome and not something I see at a lot of wineries. All of the wines we sampled were solid. I'd return! Now I just need to complete the Wine Walk. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it!

Since moving back to Arizona a couple of months ago I am living in an area I never really explored…read morewhen I lived here before, Tempe, I am having fun trying out different spots. Someone at work said you need to try the Society, it's over near you so... last night I was going down the elevator a young guy getting on said how's your day going? I said it's gonna get a little bit better. I'm going to go to happy hour. He said where are you going ... I said the Society he said Oh my gosh it is unbelievably good. The food is great. The happy hour was great atmosphere is great ...I was so excited.. I was totally shocked!! The atmosphere was very classy , the onyx bar was beautiful . The bartender Jake was a doll, very personable and professional. The Happy Hour menu had a good variety of different types of food and good prices. I got the whipped feta.... it was decadent!!!! I asked Jake what was his favorite pasta dish was, so I ordered that just ate a couple bites, but I wanted it for lunch today so I got the pistachio sausage rigatoni.!!!! WOW!!!! I can't wait to go back!!! I found my Happy Hour home!!

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.
