Trendy, neo-boho watering hole/cafe that pulses with energy, and remains one of the most reliable late-night dining spots in town. When the rest of Scottsdale is yawning and rolling up the sidewalks, AZ 88 is going strong like a stud bull on Viagra. God bless 'em. Edibles are mainly salads, burgers and sammies — nothing amazing, but there are some solid noshes to be had. For finger food, we dig the galettes, these little flatbread pizza thingees, and the Buffalo-style chicken salad with blue cheese and hot sauce goes well with a glass of Bass Ale. Check out the mirrored stalls in the restrooms: Guaranteed to trip you out.

Many lament the lack of fine dining � or even a snack � in the vicinity of any sort of performing arts complex in this city. Downtown Scottsdale is the notable exception, and has been forever. We remember dining at China Lil's or Jed Nolan'... More >
2005 | BEST PLACE TO DRINK IN THE RAIN

When the weather's just right, we like to sip a vodka martini on the perfectly appointed patio at AZ 88, with the rest of the beautiful people. When it's too hot, we'll crowd up against them at the bar. Last time we were there, it drizzled, but... More >

The last thing Bite Me wanted to do last week was slosh around in the rain looking for the really hard-to-find AZ88. (Drought? What freakin' drought?) She got the address and directions easily enough, but then found herself discombobulated in a Sc... More >

If someone asks where to get a good martini, I point them to AZ88. They seem to have endless options for every tastebud. I love the key lime martini, but have tried multiple others that were delicious as well. If you want casual food served in a posh atmosphere, you'll love AZ88.

great indoor/outdoor dining. It's a scene but its a great value and what at least I view as comfort food with good presentation in a very hip setting - so you can take a wider variety of people and they will be happy, it's a destination as much as a restaurant

Whenever I'm back in the Valley for a visit I make it to AZ88. I love this bar/lounge/restaurant!! The atmosphere is amazing (some lookers) and the Martinis are strong. I love the waffle fries and the buffalo chicken sandwich (spicy), is hands down the best you will eat!!! Price: $$ Tip: Sit outside on the patio during a winter night, great date spot!
