Default In Scottsdale next week, what's there to do?

I am flying out to Phoenix this Sunday for business and I'll be there for a week. I'm staying in Scottsdale, and have my evenings (after 6 PM) free.

I know Bouw N Arrow will have some ideas, what's around that's good for a late twenty-something to keep entertained with?

ALso Dos Gringos was interesting.

From the Yelp reviews:

Quote:
If you appreciate a good dive bar, you will love this place!
Quote:
The place is like Spring Break on acid. Outdoors, several bars, lots of string lights, etc. And yes we were a bit older than their average crowd (early 20 somethings) but we were able to sit at a huge table, talk over our drinks AND dance. How often can you do that at most clubs? Did I mention no dress code? I can wear my flats and actually dance my ass off with no risk of blisters. And of course I'm the only one not hungover this morning.
You have been warned

The owners name is Michael. If this kind of thing is of interest its well worth whatever time you can get of his. He's got an amazing wealth of knowledge and first hand experience about 'the business' going back to the mid-seventies.

High End: Bar at W Hotel at night.

Low End: The Lodge in Old Town. Not low end quailty but a super cool pub that looks like a cabin on the lake.

Cocomo Joes for either Corona + tequila shot = $5.50, or a few massive mugs of beer.

Listen to this man, he knows what he's talking about.

And post-drunk grub:

Philadelphia Sandwich Company (open 24/7)

http://www.phillycheezsteak.com/

Closest you'll get to a real Philly cheesesteak. Bread is brought in daily from Philly.

It would work out great if he arrived on Monday and stayed an extra two weeks just in case it didn't work the first time.
