Barney's Boathouse

7341 East 6th Avenue, Scottsdale, AZ 85251 (480) 949-6535

By far one of my favorite venues of Scottsdale! The setting is right up my alley with their rooftop patio overlooking Old Town. The crowd is usually a great mix of mid 20 to late 30 year old carefree, fun-loving individuals. If you're involved-- this is a nice, fun and lively atmosphere to bring your significant other; and if your single-- there are usually plenty of "easy on the eyes" patrons to mingle with. And last, but certainly not least, THE FOOD!!

Barney's is one of the few places in Sun Valley that I know of where you can get authentic Cajun/Creole style cuisine! Crawfish, Gumbo, even Gator Tail! If that's not quite your style Barney's offers several, more traditional bar/restaurant fare... Burgers, Pizza, wings, etc.

For more detailed info, including menu, specials, photos and events-- like skinny dip/ladies night, visit their official site here ---> Barney's Boat House
