Downtown Phoenix has the hip bars and restaurants and lots of breweries but old town Scottsdale has the nightclubs and more of the party scene. I personally much prefer downtown Phoenix (36 F).
I love a good rooftop bar.
Az88 is fun for after hours food and drinks. Yelp is helpful to find tons of different kinds of cuisine here too. Scottsdale drink prices are like LA. Phx is a bit more laid back. Both have really good food / coming from 30 years in nyc I have high respect for the restaurants here.
Scottsdale is pretty pricey when it comes to drinks, especially if you venture downtown.
Certainly depends what you're into. I've been out in downtown Scottsdale and it is seriously hell on earth. It's so loud, and expensive, and creepy. Just my thoughts!
I love downtown Scottsdale but it can get pretty crazy. It all depends on what you are into and what kind of vibe you are looking for.
I'd avoid downtown Scottsdale at all costs unless you want to drain your bank account and leave feeling more hollow than you've ever felt in your entire life.

Really depends on what you’re looking for.
Phoenix and Scottsdale both have vibrant nightlife scenes, but they offer slightly different experiences. Phoenix tends to have a more laid-back and casual atmosphere, with a variety of bars, pubs, and live music venues. Scottsdale, on the other hand, is known for its upscale and trendy nightclubs, cocktail bars, and lounges.
If you're looking for a lively Friday night out, there are many options to choose from in both cities. Here are a few recommendations:
Phoenix: Check out the Roosevelt Row Arts District, which has a variety of hip bars and music venues, including The Churchill, a popular spot with a rotating selection of food and drink vendors. Valley Bar is also a popular spot with live music and a cool underground vibe.
Scottsdale: For a trendy nightclub experience, try Maya Day + Nightclub, which features multiple bars, a large dance floor, and a pool. If you prefer a more intimate setting, check out the craft cocktails and cozy ambiance at Second Story Liquor Bar.
