The Top 15 Wine Bars in Scottsdale
-
Rank 1. Citizen Public House
American
Chef Bernie Kantak's Citizen Public House trades the fanciness its name suggests for a relaxed dining room where classic American cooking gets a savory edge—think crispy sesame pork belly and scallops that actually shine. The Original Chopped Salad is popular enough to have its own Facebook following, and the whole operation has the ease of a place where the staff genuinely seem to like what they do.

Charleen Badman sources vegetables and rare ingredients from Arizona farms and beyond, braiding them into dishes that range across the Sonoran Desert, South America, and the Levant in this Scottsdale fine-dining kitchen where she still cooks most nights. Co-owner Pavle Milic's wine list—heavy on Arizona producers—is reason enough to tuck into the hidden bar, which might be the best seat in the house.

Rank 3. Los Milics Vineyards
Wine Bar
A dark, sleek tasting room in Old Town Scottsdale where Pavle Milic, beverage director at the acclaimed restaurant FnB, pours wines from a region Wine Enthusiast has called the next Napa. The gregarious bar staff will guide you through flights and glasses while neighborhood regulars settle in for an intimate but buzzy evening.
