Looking for a nice dive bar in Scottsdale with a splash of Irish festivities? Look no further than Patties. This is probably the spot my friends and I head to to start our night or end it. Saying this early: I'm not sure about price but if my receipts from past weekends are any indication, it's not too expensive at all.
If you go in the early evening Patties is pretty dead and quiet but gives you free room to play pool, shuffleboard etc. After 10 p.m. rolls through, this place quickly fills up. There's plenty of places to stand and sit if you snag them early, but careful as each part of the bar can get congested and tight (especially if you're trying to move through the middle of the bar)
Music can be hit or miss. Last night I wasn't feeling the music rotation but last weekend I was all over the dance floor so just be prepared if you're looking to hit the floor here.
This is probably my go-to spot now in Scottsdale. Good atmosphere, really colorful design and a popular dive bar that doesn't come off as high-class and overpriced.
