I stopped by for a Hazy IPA which I really liked. From the outside it was not much to see but the inside felt welcoming and clean. I was able to relax a little bit there after a stressful day at work. I also really loved this big wine bottle display. So they sell lots of wines here too. Might need to come back for some wine! read more

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. read more

We have been going to Rift for some time, we live in the are and have family close. Their beer selection is incredible, with something to suit every taste. The rotating food truck options are a nice touch. The bar service is great--friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the beer lineup. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or unwind after a long day. If you're a craft beer lover, Rift is a must-visit! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

They have an excellent selection of drinks on tap and so many more to choose from in their fridge.

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). read more

A very homey style bar with lots of TLC! We were staying near by so we decided to walk in, we greeted by one of the owners "Troy" Who was as helpful as can be. He made sure we felt comfortable and we're in an ambiance that was as appeasing as possible. The drinks were decently priced and the food truck outside was good too, we were also told food from anywhere could be brought in too. We stayed for a little but I definitely wish we stayed longer because it was a very laid back comfy bar that makes you feel right at home. read more

Specialties

Rift Wine + Tap is south Scottsdale's locally owned taproom and wine bar specializing in craft beer and small production wines. Rift has a casual atmosphere with couches, community seating and a 25 seat bar. Rift also offers curbside and contactless pickup on 100's of craft beers and wines.

History

Established in 2020.

Rift is the brain child of Damien Kanser and Jonathan Coppins, two local wine geeks and podcasters. They developed the concept while camping and drinking craft beers and wine out of red solo cups. The duo decided spring of 2020 would be the best time to open and the rest is history. We are so happy to be considered the top local owned craft beer and wine shop in the neighborhood.

Meet the Business Owner: Damien K.

Thank you for checking out our craft beer taproom and wine bar. We built Rift to be a community gathering spot for locals and tourists specializing in small production wines and limited release beers. Come for a pint, stay for the conversation.

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.

Just prior to saying goodbye after a long trip that ended here in Tempe and heading to Sky Harbor to go home, hung out here on a perfect mid March high noon. Outdoor seating with shade and warm rays was available and sampled some amazing appetizers. One was goat cheese with arugula, some kind of a toasted artisan bread, and pink grapefruit I believe. 5/5; also had a rich but sinfully delicious cremini mushroom fondue 5/5; had meatballs in a tomato meat sauce (very light and flavorful) and for my main dish has the P.R.E.A.M. Bowl 5/5. Except for the fondue which was sinfully delish, the dish led were light and cleanly cooked and very fresh. Was easily the best place I ate at while in the Phoenix area. A must try.

Make sure to try their espresso martinis! We tried two Spring Training Specials: The Cracker Jack…read moreand The All-Star. Both were delicious and were a good balance between espresso, vodka, and flavorings like vanilla, chai, and chocolate. Their classic ones like the Dirty Chai and the Mocha-Tini are great too. They come in chilled glasses. Definitely worth checking out especially if you like espresso martinis!
