18 Degrees

We stopped in for lunch as this was a local restaurant, located in the Ice Den. Apparently they see themselves as an up scale restaurant in North Scottsdale.We had a server who seemed totally disinterested in service and couldn't walk away from the table quick enough. The prices were quite high. My wife ordered a Caesar salad, ($15.50), to add chicken was an additional $7.00. The salad came and was a plate of cut up romaine lettuce, some shaved parmesan and croutons. Not exactly what could be considered good value. I ordered the cheeseburger ($21.50). I asked for medium rare. The burger was extremely over cooked and tasted burnt. The addition of a diet Coke was $4.50. It was not even close to a good burger. Red Robin is a far more tasty burger than 18 Degrees serves.We had been in 18 Degrees after a hockey game. The menu was limited due to the hour, but the food was prepared well and was tasty. We sat at the bar and found it to be very welcoming, even though the bartender was wearing a Red Sox hat.The shame of the matter is that we live very nearby and wanted to like this place. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way.

No joke, the best pizza I've had that I can remember. The perfect thinness with the bubbly crust wood fired. Cant believe I found the best pizza attached to the ice den! The maple bacon burger is excellent too! You can sit and watch ice skating. It was a nice cold atmosphere on a 114 degree summer day.

The blackened chicken on my Caesar salad was good, but it is far too basic for what they charge you.

Been by the Ice Den a hundred times the past 16 years here in Scottsdale and did not know 18 Degrees was inside until seeing Fox 10 special earlier. Sean, bartender, immediately greeted, made introductions and explained menu and specials to include extensive draft beer selection. If you're a sports fan, they have all sports packages for games. Wanted to try something different so went with the Calabrian chili wings, Sean recommended the blue cheese dressing which is outstanding. Plenty of activity in the house with hockey activities, seems like a good locals pub where everyone knows everyone. Truly glad to have seen the Fox10 special earlier. Will be back with my wife and friends.

You'll find this gem next to the "Ice Den" rink. Contemporary & upscale with a friendly neighborhood vibe. Excellent prices- gregarious servers & the best charcuterie we've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Imported selections of melt in your mouth cured meats (Prosciutto, Mortandela, and more) with a lovely wine list. The cheese variety was perfectly balanced with delicious sharp provolone, fontina, creamy mascarpone & fresh mozzarella & a gorgeous fig jam. We are zero carb 95% of the time- but their crispy flaky crust and chewy center bread tasted freshly baked and was too incredible to forgo! We also ordered the Kevin- Keto burger, served bun-less, topped with choices of bacon/cheese/egg/green chili sauce/fresh ripe avocado.. just WOW! Can't wait to return for another "wine & board date" & my husband is looking forward to bringing friends to try some of the extensive beer offerings & house-made pastas!

Eating out at Bar and Grills can be a crapshoot. Grills at local ice rinks are often some of the worst you can find. But niether of these generalities are not applicable to the 18 Grill at the Scottsdale Ice Den. This B&G has good service, decent food and lots of tables and seating. The seating area is expansive, with dozens of tables and a large ringed bar centering the room. For my visit to 18, I was attended to promptly by the waitress who quickly brought our drinks. I ordered 1/2 dozen dry rub wings for an appetizer, and they were excellent, hot and large sized. For the entrée, I ordered the "Join the Club" sandwich which was their version of a club sandwich. It was excellent. The ingredients were fresh quality, the bacon was hot, and bread was perfectly toasted. The shoestring french fries were likewise excellent, served hot, and gently garnished.Honestly, this is by far the best grill at any of the ice rinks. If you are playing hockey, skating or out watching a game at Scottsdale Ice Den, don't hesitate to use the 18 Grill afterwards for eating a meal. The staff are kind, fast and very helpful. The food is good and there is plenty of room for any size party. The prices seem a bit high, but this is par for course on any in-building grills at local rinks.I won't hesitate to return if I am at the Ice Den for an evening game.

Perfect restaurant for a laid back, casual experience. Great food with a menu that offers a wide variety of selections; one of the few places in the neighborhood that has a late night menu! Behind the bar, Sean is attentive and personable; excellent customer service. Will be back soon!

A shout out to bartenders Ana and Sam who always have our drinks ready quick and strong before youth hockey. This bar has a decent selection of rotating taps including lots of local brews. This time we enjoyed a milk stout and a well rum and coke. Visit these hardworking folks and tip generously!

The bartender that works on Thursday night 8/8 can only focus on one task at a time. Asked for a water while he was standing in front of it and instead of serving me a water which was right there he said "I need to do something ill be right back" and 10 minutes later after he started prepRing food in the back I had to ask the league director if he could get me a drink. This was the 2nd week in a row this exact scenario played out. This guy is incapable of multi tasking.

Today was my 3rd and final visit to 18 Degrees. I skate at the Ice Den and really wish this were a good place. Each time I have been here I have been "greeted" by the bar tender telling me they're running slow (even though the restaurant is completely empty except for the side room of people playing bridge.). Immediately I know I'm an inconvenience and the others who came in were discouraged and left. I should have too. Bad service and bad, cold food. What a missed opportunity to have a good restaurant connected to the Ice Den.
