Old Town Bars
Here are a few of our favorite drinking establishments in our neighborhood where you can find some fun. As locals we like to drop in and belly up and are always wanting to hear live music.... and these are the places we like to go. They are not "Stuffy Places"
Rusty Spur historic saloon offering live country music . It's a cowboy bar to rub elbows with the locals and meet new friends from all over. Cold beer, dance a little, and it's always a fun time! Located at 7245 East Main -house band starts at 8 pm. Sunday afternoon music. Don't miss this stop... walking distance from Giants stadium and our house. It's an experience!! Scottsdale oldest bar, and it used to be a bank- cozy fit when there is a crowd, and lots to look at!
