Let's just put it out there: Scottsdale is bougie. They're not Bel-Air bougie, but they have a certain class to them that everyone knows about. Therefore, it's difficult to find a spot that's low key and you can just chill out at. Luckily, my friend and I found Goodwood thanks to a friendly security guard at another bar.
The weather was beautiful so my friend and I were able to grab a table out on the patio and enjoy drinks for the night. The bartenders aren't really that attentive, and I could definitely see what all these reviews are talking about in regards to curtness. They're not the friendliest bunch, but I got my drinks and didn't really have to spend time up at the bar so I didn't care.
The bar itself is really neat. It's a calmer, more casual vibe compared to its surrounding bars and lounges. I felt comfortable in my leggings and top combo. There was a nice mix of young professionals hanging out, as well as a few dressier folks because of a bachelor party. My friend and I enjoyed being able to sit and talk and enjoy our time without being bothered or concerned for the other people in the area.
Goodwood had exactly what I needed, but I think that if I needed more care or desired more interaction this wouldn't be the place for me. Considering all there is to do in Scottsdale, I don't foresee myself ever visiting again, but it got the job done.
