  • Shakers is the latest incarnation of a succession of dive-type bars in this location. This building has housed everything from sports bars to comedy clubs to semi-meth labs (just kidding, but at times in the past, this place has looked like it was decorated by a "tweaker".) I ventured to Shakers a couple of weeks ago with my brother, who discovered the place anew. It's close enough to his home to qualify as a "neighborhood bar", and he had had a nice breakfast experience there. We generally spend our Sundays at Carlsbad Tavern, but are a little tired of waiting until 11AM to have breakfast as well as just needing some regular breakfast food once in a while. So I decided to give it a shot. (Shakers opens at 6AM for those who like their breakfast early.) First of all, the place needs an interior makeover. It looks almost exactly as it did as the Ragin' Cajun, the last bar to occupy the building, and there were some obvious growing pains (such as the beer taps not working, causing the staff to hustle for a draft order). Furniture could use an upgrade as well. On the plus side, the mens' room was clean and tidy, a sticking point for me. The bar is typical "NFL Sunday Ticket" friendly, with plenty of TV screens for sports viewing. My most favorable impression was of the food and liquor prices. The food is really good, and cheap. While the house burger is suspiciously shy of the 1/3 pound advertised, the price was right. I've also had the breakfast quesadilla, which is huge and a steal for $3.99. So far, the food is Shakers' strongest drawing point. Beer prices are low, and the staff makes some of the better Bloody Marys I've had lately. A special shout out to Wendy, one of the bartenders. Very professional bartender, and a hoot to converse with. She's very entertaining and engaging. We'll be back. If you're looking for a decent sports bar in the south Scottsdale area, with reasonable booze and grub, this is a good pick. Hopefully, Shakers can build a solid neighborhood clientele and will make a go of it. The location isn't the best, and better signage could probably draw more customers, but I intend to be a "regular" here. Good luck!
