Rusty Spur Saloon

7245 E Main St · Scottsdale, AZ

Why you should go…

Built in 1908 as a bank and later a saddle shop, the Rusty Spur has poured drinks in Old Town Scottsdale since 1971 and still fills up with live country bands most nights of the week. Bikers, tourists, and locals share the same worn wooden bar.

Good to know

General nightlife guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Doors, showtime, last call

    Three different times, and only one of them is usually on the poster. Check all three.

  • Covers and minimums are normal

    Weekend nights often carry a door charge or a per-person minimum, especially for table seating.

  • Bring ID either way

    Age policies shift by night and by room, so carry it even if you have not been asked in years.

  • Weeknights show the room properly

    Quieter nights are the ones where you can actually hear the band and find a seat.
