Wasted Grain

Let me start by saying this is an outstanding concept, when you walk in you think there is only the inside area, only to find out there is a grass patio and stairs to what seems like another bar area. I visit with the wife every few months and stay at the W while visiting my daughter and walked over to Wasted Grain a few Fridays ago and sat at the bar. Upon sitting down at bar the bartender Maggy helped us figure out what cocktail from the menu we would like most and had the most positive experience with her. I visited other cocktail restaurants in the area and felt rushed or not taken care of but this experience was nothing short of amazing. She was a rockstar to us all night, We were informed we had to leave our chairs when the live band came to play which was a downside, but the band made up for it. I had more than pleasurable experience from the ambiance, the free live show, and our hospitality, thanks Maggy and Wasted Grain! For sure bringing my son and his friends in next time we're down to show him the place and to meet our bartender. Only cons I can remember is getting shoved and pushed a lot from other guests and what seemed to be employees near the bar. It's a busy place, makes sense, but an "excuse me" would have sufficed.

As a fellow Michigan State Spartan, I absolutely love this bar. Located in a convenient spot in Old town, the live music and drinks never miss. Expect a good times with friends, friendly bartenders, exceptional music (& live music from amazing bands), and overall amazing time with the crowd.

I arrived in Scottsdale with the annoying New Yorker's skepticism about the nightlife here. But wandering into Wasted Grain during a thoughtfully planned work event, my coastal elitism swiftly dissolved. This expansive bar hosted our motley crew of nearly 100 with room to spare for balloon twisters, a "graffiti art wall" , and a fun live band fueling the festivities.Far eclipsing expectations for Phoenix nightspots, Wasted Grain knocked this party out the park through thoughtful, creative planning by our company. I'd forget about the lukewarm food though and stick with the drinks.When our group later peeled off to go bar-hopping, lookinh for more excitement, all we found were cookie-cutter college bars. After a few bars we ended up circling back to Wasted Grain and stayed until closing time.Wasted Grain was a refreshing change of pace from New York's cramped bars, and I especially appreciated the open air format and warm Arizona air.

I had a great experience at Wasted Grain. The servers were friendly, and the food and drinks were solid. Overall, a very inviting and pleasant experience here. I came for a Sangria tasting festival that was hosted here and I will definitely be back! Pros: Good vibes: The music is always upbeat and makes you want to dance, and the people who are in here are always in a good mood. There is a diverse crowd, in terms of ages and types of people, and everyone always seems to get along and be respectful. There are chairs and couches and spaces both indoor and outdoor to relax and kick back on. Delicious drinks: The drinks are solid, prepared quickly and efficiently, and the food is also on point. I had some tasty egg rolls and a pretzel the last time that I was here, and both were very good. Friendly servers: The servers are responsive, polite, friendly and speedy. I had positive interactions with all of the servers, even thought it was a very busy time, I felt well taken care of here. Good location: The location of Wasted Grain is convenient to many hotels and central to Old town scottsdale. It is near many nightclubs, making it a convenient stop along the way out to other bars and clubs as well. Cons: Absolutely no cons at all here! I recommend Wasted Grain if you looking for a fun drinking experience in Scottsdale.

Cool spot, and a few events that were fun. Waitresses were on point. It seemed to be 3 bars in one. We were in an upstairs area, then there is the main bar that has a stage for live music and a patio area with huge tv's. It's a Hotspot in Scott's Dale.

Meh, my husband I stopped in for one drink as it was close to our hotel. It's a 49ers bar and the game was on so it sounded rowdy and fun. The bouncer didn't even ask for our IDs; he just waved us in. I think we are a little older than the typical clientele. The set up is pretty fun but drink prices are ridiculous--it was $30 for two drinks! I don't plan on going back. Nothing special going on here, unless you're a 49ers fan. It also looked like they had Michigan State flags outside? Idk weird combo.

We went for the Bourbon & Bones tasting & it was impressive the number of high end bourbons that were there. Space is very 'bar' atmosphere but overall it was a great experience. To attract higher end buyers they may want to consider moving it back above the Ski Lodge. The drag party & drink to get drunk crowd was a bit much. Hale, our server and Joe, security were both super helpful, kind and made the event a shining star!

I wish I'd read some of the other reviews before going here. I may have realized that this place thrives on scamming customers. We stopped in with some friends after a school reunion. We were immediately asked if we wanted a free table and a bottle. We got our table right away and partook in the bottle. Then the waitress asked to put our card on file just in case we ordered anything else. Unfortunately, I agreed. When we were ready to leave, I asked for my card back and she brought it to me with a $400 charge on it for "the bottle". There is no way that it was a $400 bottle. There is no way that I would have ever bought a $400 bottle. There is no way that I was ever told that it was not free. I won't be going back and neither will my friends.

What a joke had a friend that had a table. I said we had a table, I was told I had to pay $60 dollars to get in I go to the atm doesn't work the first time I see my friends and go meet them the security guy almost yanked me over backwards for his money.

Robert is amazing, such a fun place to be! The music is great too!!!!!!!! Huge place with indoor and outdoor
