Boulders

Cave Creek, a small town north of Scottsdale known for leaning into its Old West, desert-town image, has a bar scene in the Boulders area that fits that reputation. BarFinder lists 20 venues here, with sports bars leading the way, including The Roadhouse and Local Jonny's Tavern And Cafe. Carefree Spirits Distillery adds a local spirits option, while Mountain View Pub and Cocomo Joe's round out a casual, desert-town lineup.
