Old Town Scottsdale

208 reviews

The Phoenician Tavern is one of the best restaurants in Scottsdale for those looking to dine at one of the area’s luxury resorts. Although, the Tavern doesn’t feel at all like a resort destination. It’s a casual, welcoming vibe here and the crowd is usually resort-goers looking to enjoy a tasty bite of food and polish off a few craft beers with their friends. It’s a great spot to stop into after a round of golf or a day of exploring the town. Guests can dine in the laid-back dining room or outside on the patio, which has lovely views of the lush green golf course. Enjoy the delicious pub grub - the Prime Rib is one of the local favorites.
