Scottsdale for Bachelor Trip (12-15 people)

Not sure of your age ranges but Old Town Scottsdale is the huge entertainment district. I live about 20 miles north and don't get down there much but they have everything from dive bars to nightclubs to country bars. TONS of entertainment options in a condensed area. I live in far N. Scottsdale almost to Cave Creek, a cool old west town (and tourist trap) with biker and country bars and live music everywhere. The Buffalo Chip on the weekends is incredibly popular with tourists & bachelorette parties. A friend is a bartender there and said they get upwards of 4,000 people there on a Friday night, including tons of younger women. Cool place.

Also, if you are into it there are tons of hiking trails in the vicinity but mid-September is the one of the hottest times of the year so be prepared. The upside to that is that the golf should be relatively cheap.

Tittybars are plentiful in Phoenix and there are a couple in Scottsdale south of Old Town.

You have tons of food options in Scottsdale, including a lot of Tex-Mex style places. If you want authentic my favorite is Los Dos Molinos in south Phoenix. Lupe's in Old Town is very popular but I wouldn't call it authentic Mexican.

Buddy also found a hibachi service that comes to the house and will cook at the airbnb for us for a flat fee per person.

Do you mind posting this service? I am going to Scottsdale for my bachelor party next month with a group of 14 and we were looking into a hibachi/sushi private chef to avoid going eat somewhere or worry about cooking on the first night (current plan is to just BBQ by the pool).

We are playing two rounds of golf and most courses you have to have to book tee times 60-90 days in advance and they book fast (maybe not when you are going), but definitely keep that in mind with a large group. We didn't have a problem with rentals at any courses either.

We also have a reservation in a private dining room at Citizen Public House (as recommended by a poster on here in another thread) for Saturday night planned.

Scottsdale is a pretty large area and my guess is aside from golf you may be walking to bars, etc.
If its close by hit the Coach House. Hole in the wall bar that quickly becomes a little slice of heaven.
I will 2nd The Buffalo Chip but you will definitely need transportation. The sights there are incredible on a Friday night. Absolutely incredible.

Addition: Coach House is recommended for day drinking

Pizzeria Virtu is about a block from Coach House. Really good. Going to Scottsdale next week with wife for a conference she is going to

Cave Creek is worth a visit one night.

we did a booze rafting trip in scottsdale area
not sure if they are still running around that time but check into it

Going for a big trip mid-September. So far we've got golf planned for Friday morning. I'm assuming we will need to call ahead to reserve clubs, not sure how early, but only half of the party will be there so we won't need more than 8 sets I imagine. Sharing would be fine if we had to. Buddy also found a hibachi service that comes to the house and will cook at the airbnb for us for a flat fee per person. Any other suggestions? We will be taking rideshares to locations, probably avoiding

The most important advice I can give you go to Scottsdale between October -May . It is hot asf . I went for 5 days early September it was 115* .

Might have to look into this. Plan seems to be this: Thursday - late lunch/drinks as early group arrives. Friday - AM round of golf; lunch & drinks; at-home hibachi; go out; Saturday - no AM plans (maybe that booze raft if it's available);night plans TBD

I would not make any Saturday AM plans

If yall decide to party in Tempe(it's only about a 15-20 minute drive away and they have a great bar scene) check out the Chuck box for a great burger.
