"Right in the heart of Scottsdale’s rowdy entertainment district, Bottled Blonde is as Scottsdale as it gets. This sprawling, two-story bar-meets-club is decked out with TVs and speakers loud enough to shake the walls. After 7 p.m., it turns into a full-on club, but as a daytime spot to catch kickoff, it’s got its charms — just be ready to reserve a table because standing room disappears fast. The energy is high, with servers passing around jello shots when teams score. Service stays surprisingly quick despite the crowds, and the food does the trick. For a slightly calmer experience, snag a couch in the corner." - McConnell Quinn
