Description

While the Roadrunner Lounge's windowless exterior is a bit spartan, its interior is stocked with all the trademarks of a memorable dive bar. Dim lighting pierced by twinkling Christmas lights sets the mood. An old jukebox stocked with sad bastard country songs and an old Pac-Man arcade game provide the entertainment. Booze is cheap: $1 PBRs, $2 Natural Lights, and $3 well drinks. The mixed drinks are poured high and strong and free pool is available during the daytime.

    Beep! Beep!

    It's finally winter, and I'm feeling like that damn coyote in the cartoons, hungry for something good to put in my facehole. I'm tired as hell of chasing that elusive euphoric high by gulping beer and wine — a compromise I've been trying since my... More »

  • 2012 | Best Neighborhood Bar, Scottsdale

    For some barflies and day drinkers, neighborhood watering holes practically serve as virtual homes away from home. This seems particularly true at this homey Scottsdale dive, which boasts den-like décor and has the well-worn comfy feel of a personal bar set up in someone's basement, right down to the pressboard walls and cheesy billiards-themed fabric lining the barstools. Heck, even the smoking patio could double as a laundry room, as patrons sit at a makeshift table made from an old... More »

  • 2010 | Best Manhattan

    You know you've arrived at a good bar when the bartender doesn't know how to make the drink you've ordered but knocks it out of the park anyway. This recently happened to us at the Roadrunner Lounge. On previous visits to the seen-better-days establishment, we've received a perfect Jameson Manhattan with sweet vermouth, bitters, and a maraschino cherry. But then, a few months back, we ordered the drink from a male barkeep we'd never seen before, and he reacted as though we had just spoken... More »

  • 2009 | Best Dive Bar

    A humble confession: When we discovered this place, we rushed back to the office to see what we had written about it. Nothing in the archives. Well, friends, The Roadrunner Lounge shall not be ignored ever again, because it's soooo good. This rundown piece of you-know-what on Hayden Road north of Osborn Road is just steps away from Carlsbad Tavern, next to a curious Dutch-Chinese market, and across the street from a (for real) Starbucks. Things are definitely disconcerting from the outside... More »
