Dukes is hands down my favorite dive bar in Scottsdale. I have had some major life events take place at Dukes, including a boyfriend dropping the "L bomb" for the first time. How romantic, right?!
Anyway, I always have a good time at Dukes. They have about a million TVs, pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, Buck Hunter etc... Definitely a little something for everyone! I find their drinks very reasonably priced - it seems like they always have specials on beers and shots.
The food is pretty decent for bar food. I'm a big fan of the buffalo style wings, they're nice and big and juicy. Nom nom nom!
Dukes also provides a free cab service if you happen to indulge in too many spirits. Don't drink and drive, y'all!
My only complaint is that once or twice I've caught some attitude from a bartender, but that's probably a fluke and service is usually fine for a dive bar.
