A hidden gem of oldtown. The craft beer and wine bar trend has given rise to tens of such establishments around the valley, however this is a clear standout in the category. Tucked away amongst the southwestern stores and small businesses in oldtown, scapegoat sets a positive tone from the second you walk in. A warm but modern ambiance makes it both a great spot for dates and or just to sit at their wrap around bar and grab a drink after a long day at work.
The General Manager, Mike, who also is the main bartender of the establishment, is of an elite caliber when it comes to his service and knowledge of what it takes to run a successful business. This service has built steady and repeat clientele so you will often see familiar faces and be able to strike up a great conversation even if you venture in here alone.
They also have a fantastic kitchen that exceeds the basic bruschetta type offerings of similar establishments (although they do have that if you want it). Avocado toast, fresh burrata, and even specials such as a delicious chili rubbed steak make this an option for pre dinner drinks, with the ability to stay around for the full meal.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking to grab a laid back drink and/or food, in a warm and inviting atmosphere, all while receiving some of the best service in town.
