RNR Gastropub

Drinks and nibbled last night. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Food was good, We had ahi tuna mini tacos. Good selection of wine and beer. The wife is particularity about the wine, and they are running a half price wine special. For a casual night out it was great, would do it again if we get back to Phoenix.

Good concept, pooor service. I wish I could give this place another chance but I’m only here for the weekend… My bday weekend.

Jimmy is the best server around! We just moved here from California and it’s our first time here at RNR-​and we were provided with the best customer service! Jimmy went out of his way to make sure our experience was spectacular! Very accommodating, professional, and personable! Jimmy deserves a raise. Be like jimmy. We want jimmy!!!

Great place to grab a few drinks and food. Great service and a nice place to meet up with friends for a night out

this place has pretty awful service. been here multiple times during sunday fundays, during sporting events, during lazy weekday nights, all types of occasions. generally, you are always left hanging at some point in the meal, either to get your order taken, get your bill, get a drink, something.
on top of that, the food tries really hard but just falls flat. they are going for this whole craft gastropub type thing and nothing really wows. I have had salads, burgers, breakfast items, those Brussel sprouts, its all just like mehhh.
anyways, the reason you go here is for sunday fundays, bottomless mimosas, or sporting events bc the TVs and in that regard this place is a lot of fun and awesome
but can i really give more than 3 stars to a restaurant/​bar when the service is terrible and the food is bland? especially when its not dive bar prices?
thus, –1 star for food, –1 for service.

Amazing atmosphere! Staff always goes above and beyond. Daniel, Dakota, and JJ have this place working like a well oiled machine, even on their amazingly busy Sunday’s! They keep us coming back!

I found this place while staying in Old Town for a business trip a few weeks back, I was actually looking for a different restaurant a couple blocks over, but the environment seemed inviting enough to stop in and check out. They had a DJ on the patio playing some pretty decent music and the atmosphere was up beat and casual.
The menu looked to have quite a few options and I decided to go with the Jalapeño Mac ‘N Cheese to start, followed by the RnR Burger with a side of Sweet Potato Tots. All of which were pretty solid choices. My second time through I started off with the Pretzel Bites and finished with the Bacon Brussel Burger and a side of Sweet Potato Fries. I haven’t come across anything I don’t like, and plan on trying something new every time I visit.
What really kept me coming back was the service. From the hostesses, to the food (chefs), to my server Bianca, I’ve had a pretty great time all around. Definitely plan on coming back soon.

If you haven’t had the French toast, you messed up. I’ve been here a few times now. All for the same reason… Amish French Toast. I don’t drink so I couldn’t tell you anything about that.

A tried and true, albeit loud, spot to gather with friends or coworkers and located in a prime spot in Oldtown Scottsdale. Pretty average food but I don’t imagine that’s what you are coming here for.

We came in for brunch Saturday morning around 11, and were seated right away. Our service was on point the whole time, with drink refills and appetizer orders. I had the Southwest Burger, and it was amazing! Perfectly cooked, and the pepper jack and chiles were delicious! After eating thousands of burgers all over the U.S., this one was memorable enough to make it into my top 5 ever… was really, really good.
The only reason I can’t give it a 5 is the appetizers came out luke warm and seemed like they’d been sitting around for a while.
Will come back again when I’m in town next– cool vibe and great service in Old Town Scottsdale!

Food is nothing out of this world, but it’s pretty good for a gastropub. Sweet potato tots were tasty and burger was cooked well. My one complaint would be the service. Granted, we had a big group, but after the first round of drink orders, server never came back to ask for seconds. Took a while to get our food, longer to get the plates picked up once done, and even longer to get our checks.

Extremely disappointed in the service. I love the food here, as do my friends. We always go for the chicken lollipops. This time we went in mid afternoon after the morning rush and the waiter was horrible. The waiter took our drink order and didn’t even give it to the bar tender. We watched him flirt with a waitress fifteen feet from our table for the next twenty minutes. We actually had to go to the bar to get our own drinks. The bar tender recognized what happened and offered us free drinks, but by that time we just wanted to get the check and get out of the place.
It’s a shame because we really do like the food here l, guess business must be so good that they don’t care about service yet.

If you are looking for a delish restaurant in old town look elsewhere. If you’re looking for a place with overly priced bar food, bad ambience, and decent service, welcome to RnR! We have come here for game days and drinks which are pretty lively, but extremely loud. It is a good bar, but the food is sub par.
We most recently came on a Wednesday night. Made it in time for happy hour which entails ½ off all wine, beers, wells (i believe) and a select few small bites.
We ordered the animal fries and ate what seemed like day old fries smothered… and i mean smothered w BBQ sauce. The fries were rock hard. Not very enjoyable but we were starving. The salad we ordered was covered in way too much dressing and the grilled cheese wasn’t even melted. I don’t think ill be coming back, unless it is solely for drinks at happy hour.

When my hubs said there’s this place with bottomless mimosas and a live DJ on the weekends I was like, ‘whaaaa???’ Let’s go!
I wasn’t disappointed. The food blew me out of the water {I expected sub par} AND it was way above par! Like Birdie status good. I ordered the hash and the hubs got a boring regular egg breakfast and damn. I would eat breakfast there with or without that perk of bottomless mimosas!
I was there with a group of 5 and our service was Awesome… no joke. Rarely was a glass empty and everyone {our group and the whole restaurant} were in good spirits.
I’ll def be back and will def bring out of town guests here!
/​/​cheers/​/​

Aweful! Dreadful food and bad customer service. Bartender is unfriendly and obviously hates his life. No smile, no hello, no thank you. Asked if something is good and he was like, yeah it’s great, with an attitude like just order already I have no recommendations and no clue about the food nor do I care about it or you for that matter. Lol. Seriously. But, Props for a decent drink at least, that he did well. That’s why 2 stars.
And to title yourself as a gastro pub is just wrong. Please go elsewhere.
I won’t come here again even if it was free.

Probably the worst place to go to in Old Town… I thought it would be a fun party at this place, but then I agree with one of the reviewers that it seems like the employees are more interested in being on their cell phones and having conversations in between themselves than actually serving you. We sat at a table and waited 30 minutes to get waters and menus… after that it all went down hill. We ordered drinks and appetizers, drinks took another 30 minutes and appetizers took 45 min after the drinks came. Afterwards the bill came out a bit wrong too, so yeah I would RUN not walk away from this place.

Ohhhh my goodness what a disappointment. Went here yesterday to grab a bite and enjoy the nice weather. When we showed up we asked for a seat on the patio because its nice outside. There were about 5 tables empty that had not been bused yet, it took the hostess a good 15 minutes to get a table cleaned and get us seated. After that we waited another 15 minutes before our server even came over and asked us for our drink order. It was a little frustrating because the place was a little, busy but not packed. Every time we turned around our waiter was missing, yet everyone else’s waiters were taking care of their tables. Finally got drinks, server forgot sweetener for the tea 3 times, 4^th time, just stopped asking and drank the tea, food took a while to get out, nothing really special. We ordered 2 burgers and fries. Ordered my burger medium, was pretty well done, my boyfriend ordered his medium rare and was pretty well done. No real taste to the burger itself, the toppings helped some, but not really a great burger for the price! I think by the time the food came, we were irritated just ate and wanted to get out of there. Unfortunately not a memorable place and will not be returning. With this place being around for a while and in Old Town Scottsdale I was expecting a little more. No wonder Rehab burger around the corner had a line out their door (we should have stayed waiting in line over there)

Tomorow is the best waitress I’ve ever had here and I come often for brunch. She was super attentive and accommodating when people were being difficult. I love her energy and great personality. I will always sit in her section if she’s working :). Best waitress ever !!!;

If they bring you food and no fork to eat it with do you have to pay? This is a serious question.

Day drinking in old town?!
THIS IS YOUR PLACE!
The atmosphere is just awesome, we sat outside and drank celebrating my birthday, the waitress’s were so prompt with the service, we had a big party and a lot of drinks and food coming. I will be back and probably on an even crazier day like Sunday. Sunday fun day I’m coming for you.

So, the staff was more interested in having a conversation amongst themselves while the place was slow. And check your prices because when I asked how much I owed for my beer the bartender said $ 5 but rang in $ 4 probably pocketing the rest and the tip I gave her.
This place is hit or miss and after seeing the $ 4 beer when she told me $ 5… Principles.

Food was ok, but service was way too slow. Waitress was Shanna, who was a bit difficult to get ahold of. Don’t bother with the sundae dessert, as it’s just 3 scoops of ice cream with chocolate sauce on it… Or at least that’s what we got. We asked for the nuts which they forgot, ended up showing up as we were finished eating it. Cool looking restaurant though! Grilled buffalo chicken sandwich pretty dry too but waitress was nowhere around to tell. Oh well, live and learn

Whilst enjoying a lovely appetizer of pretzel bites and cheese, I sipped on drinks and enjoyed the Saturday college football games. Their bottomless mimosas are the way to go! Just make sure that you get there with enough time to make it worth the money because it can be quite busy and hard to get a waitress.
My friend and I were relaxed amidst a crowd of recent college graduates, yelling across the table to hear each other. We were prepared for this. Don’t expect quiet during the day. Do expect the frat boys behind you to be absolutely wasted and throw up on the floor. Not the restaurant’s fault; I’m just trying to warn you what the crowd is like.
If that’s not your scene but you’re still dying to try this place, I highly recommend going at night. They have a fantastic reverse happy hour with killer apps! One of my favorite places for spring training games.

The atmosphere can sell its self… Big, open, environment that’s tailored towards an AZ type of restaurant. I mean you can’t go to many places other than AZ and find an in door/​out door restaurant. I wasn’t a big fan of the breakfast but the drinks and service was excellent! If you’re looking for a place to drink, watch a game, and hang out with a big group of people this is your place!

Bottomless mimosas on Saturdays are amazing. Brian is a boss. Our drinks were never empty.

Ok, l just love RnR Gastropub.
But first, what is a «gastropub»?
The term «gastropub» was first coined in 1991 by two London bar owners (David Eyre and Mike Belben).
British Pubs were historically places to hangout and just have drinks, with little to no emphasis on food. It wasn’t until more recently that they started to serve food at all, and now have progressively added menus with a larger selection of food.
In 2012, the term «gastropub» was officially added to to the dictionary.
So, back to RnR…
RnR opened in 2010 by Evening Entertainment Group. Their 8 venues (Bevvy Gastropub, Bottled Blonde, Hi Fi Kitchen, The Mint Ultra Lounge, Livewire Entertainment Venue, Maya, RnR Gastropub and Sandbar Mexican Grill), are all known for their distinct architecture, dramatic lighting and a great menu.
I first found RnR last year when a few of us tried to have a late dinner and drinks in Old Town and most everything was closed. Someone suggested we try RnR and I instantly loved it.
RnR has everything I like in a bar:
Décor
RnR is a two story, indoor/​outdoor, modern industrial architecture with crazy hype lighting and multiple spaces to hangout in, depending on what you’re looking for.
There is the dramatic central bar, high tables all around, patio seating and an upstairs that overlooks Scottsdale Road, that has a private bar, that is perfect for private parties.
Drinks
RnR has a full bar, so you can get any cocktail, as well as choose one of their specialty cocktails.
There is an 1,800 bottle wine cellar, serving by the glass or bottle.
Brunch often features the bottomless mimosa.
And there are even delicious imported coffees.
Menu
RnR serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Their motto is:
«Modern American classics with a modern twist.»
They serve all the breakfast standards, appetizers, salads, burgers, tacos, sandwiches and desserts.
My favorite are the pulled pork sliders.
Service
There are always a couple bartenders and servers throughout the dinning room, so there is rarely a wait to get served.
Vibe
The atmosphere is super laid back, so coming in alone, with a couple friends, or dressed up on date are all acceptable.
There is often live music on the patio which has always been super fun.
Hours
Mon — Fri: 11am — 12am
Sat/​Sun: 11am — 2am
They are available for private or corporate parties, and custom catering.
My only issue is with the parking, which can be pretty hectic, but that’s an Old Town Scottsdale issue, not a RnR issue.

I ⁵⁄₅ highly recommend RnR Gastropub!

In all of the years I lived in Mesa, I only made my first trip to RnR a few months ago. Even when I worked down the street, there was something about the RnR menu that never inspired me to visit. Well, James C. recommended it for brunch when we were all in town and am I glad that he did. They have a great brunch menu and we started with margaritas and the XL cinnamon bun which is no joke. So good and so huge. I had the RnR burger with fries and found everything delicious. We had a good spread of selections at the table and everyone was pleased with their order. I would definitely return!

AHHH!
We brought my sister-​in-​law here for her week stay with us and it was amazing.
Everything about it was amazing.
She got the vegan sliders-​amazing.
My fiancé got the hamburger sliders-​amazing.
I got the pulled pork sliders-​amazing.
We also got the pretzels and cheese from the appetizer menu-​AMAZING.
For drinks, I got a frozen strawberry margarita and let’s just say it tastes like juice – AMAZING.
We went there during happy hour so all of this was half off.
My fiancé and sister-​in-​law got a couple beers and really enjoyed them.
Our waiter, I can’t remember his name, was amazing. He really was. He was so honest and energetic. He was great to be around.
The overall vibe of the place was amazing and comfortable.
We will return!

I live a half mile from this place and always avoided it because I thought it was a young hipster joint (sadly, I’m way past that phase). However I’ve been there twice recently to watch early evening college football games and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Great service, great happy hour food, and great atmosphere. Very attentive, friendly servers, both at bar and table (shout out to Della and Kendall). Also had seriously the best burger of my life. Two thumbs up.

I’ve tried… I’ve really tried to give this place a fair shake. I’ve been for dinner, lunch, brunch, bottomless mimosas, to watch a game and never leave happy. My biggest issue? They’re inconsistent on everything. I’ve dealt with everything from rude servers/​managers and cold food to waiting over an hour for my food to arrive while everyone else had finished their meal.
It’s a cool space in a great area but I wish they would step up their game. The only reason that I’m giving them two stars instead of one is because they’re bottomless mimosa deal is great and they’re not stingy with their pours.

My date and I came here for an early evening drink and appetizer. They sat us on the 2^nd floor balcony which I highly recommend even if it’s a tad chilly outside (they had space heaters). The beer selection was good, but not great as you would expect at a «gastropub». Maybe 15 – 20 beers total in this place. We had the hangover fries sans-​eggs and these were fantastic! Great amount of toppings and the fries themselves are delicious. Crispy on the outside like Arby’s curly fries. So good!

ENVIRONMENT
Large indoor and outdoor seating. This place is definitely meant to have a good time or hang out with friends.
DOG FRIENDLY! This is a huge plus and deserving of six stars.
SERVICE
Brian is amazing, thank you!
MENU
I’m certain they have everything you’d want at a bar/​restaurant and then some.
SALAD
Blackened Salmon — This is definitely more of an entrée. The salmon is seasoned amazingly and the spinach salad on the side is refreshing.
SANDWICHES
Pulled Pork — this is good and with a sweet twist. Comes with awesome Parmesan cheese fries.
Pesto Chicken — this is the better of the two.

a must for College football Saturdays. many many fans representing, not just ASU during away games.
also, perhaps some of the best people watching. and by people, i mean college kids.
and by college kids, I mean drunk, horny, loud, brash, tequila-​swigging-​while-​holding-​a-​sparks-​spitting-​firework-​in-​one-​hand (the penultimate «whats the worst that could happen?» moment for all involved), college and recently-​out-​of-​college kids.
but it works.
and it’s glorious.

I was extremely excited when I looked around and saw a server with a shirt which read Welcome to the B.A.E. bacon and eggs Area! Then I got even more excited when I saw on the board, Sat & Sunday Funday with the SF Giants logo! Of course I’m a huge Bay Area fan so automatically this place gets extra brownie points for representin’! :) My home away from home!
We were here for brunch with a few friends. The atmosphere is energetic and lively! I would caution against bringing kids or anyone who hates loud music. It’s reminiscent of the party brunches in NYC, but with a sports flair and a more laid-​back atmosphere. There are a multitude of TV panels so you can catch whatever sport your heart desires! Service was great, very friendly servers!
We ordered Animal Fries and the Chambord French Toast. The food is rather heavy so you certainly have to have a ravenous appetite or be in the mood for it. But because of the Bay Area representation, it deserved 5 stars in my book!

In fairness I’ve only been to RNR Gastropub a few times (and I’m not from the area). But its a cool outdoor/​open air bar with a lot of tvs. Great place to watch games and catch a drink. Food is pretty good for bar food and prices are reasonable. Only thing holding it back from a higher rating is the service can be so so (occasionally borderline unfriendly). You might wait awhile for service. And I’m not sure why they need a hostess at all (when her only job seems to be glowering at people). Cmon people. Be happy, you live in Scottsdale!

IF ASHTON, TROY or DANIEL are working… You will love everything about your visit! YOU THE REAL MVP! When people are passionate about communicating with others, you know you’ve hit a gold mine. The beer menu is great, the food is amazing and I really cant think of anything negative to say about this place. My go-​to spot in Scottsdale. Especially on weekdays, cause weekends can get a little too crazy for me. Haha

This place is a great spot to catch the game. It’s got indoor and patio seating, as well as an upstairs. There’s tons of TVs playing just about everything. The place had a good energy pumping thru, even though it was 110 degrees outside. It was busy when we came in on a Friday afternoon, but we were able to find seats at the bar. The bartenders are really nice, and constantly made their way around the bar to make sure everyone was «hydrated.» We dropped in for a quick bite before picking up a friend at the airport for dinner, so we just ordered apps: pulled pork sliders, buffalo chicken lollipops, hangover fries, and a few beer cocktails. Let me just say that the BBQ sauce for the sliders alone made my day. It’s got such deep flavors with a little sweet and smokey kick. What knocked it out of the park for me was the texture. It was almost like a chutney. Man did I want to just spread that on anything I could get my hands on. Alright, back to reality. It was the first time I had chicken lollipops, and I have to say I probably prefer them over wings. It’s the perfect tender chunk of chicken atop a bone. It was so easy to eat. I bet it took no longer than 30 seconds for us to finish the entire dish. The hangover fries? Well the name says it all. I lathered on a little BBQ sauce, and well, you know how that went. The beer cocktails was the perfect drink to wash everything down, refreshing and light, yet still had great depth and flavor. RNR is definitely one of my go-​to spots when I visit AZ.

Stopped in on a whim!
We were in Scottsdale for a day and it was HOT AS HELL, I needed a DRANK!
As we were walking down the street we stumbled upon this fabulous place. Had no expectations nor did I read reviews beforehand. This was a pleasant experience! Since we were out-​of-​towners we had to see what was up! Happily it was happy hour so we ordered 3 MARGs, I was TWISTED after only one– nice and STRONG! Nice snacks to accompany. Very pleased w service (sorry dude, I forgot your name!), ambience good, food good, what more can you ask for!

Party up on the roof for a tasty brunch and bottomless mimosas on Sunday Funday! Bumpin music with quick service is just what you need on sunday fundays, which is what we got at RNR Gastropub.
We celebrated our friend’s birthday here so there was a huge group of us and with the nonstop mimosas and Bloody Maries, the group soon became quite a handful I’m sure. Needless to say, their service was excellent and drinks were amazing.
I got a Mango Margarita which was very refreshing. To complement the drink, we ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos, which took refreshing to another level. They wrap the tuna with radish wraps, which was very light and healthy. Nachos, Fries, and the breakfast burrito was all good.

There is no other place to start your Sunday Funday! Brunch with bottomless mimosas/​bloody marys and delicious food. You can’t really go wrong with the menu, from two eggs anyway, french toast, breakfast taco plate, animal fries to the pulled pork sliders. The ambiance is very upbeat with their friendly servers and dj playing a compilation of different sets.
The only draw back is the wait. Depending on your party’s size and what time you come it could be anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours to be seated. I highly suggest coming before 11 to put your name on the list, and while you wait go to the bar and let your bottomless Sunday Funday began.

Oh my god! You guys gotta try RNR’s new SouthWest Charcoal burger. I recommend you order it medium, just to make sure they cook it for the good 35 min the burger deserves. My first bite was phenomenal. Reminded me of a BBQ with my friends, cooking burgers but then eating the charcoal instead.
I would give this review 5 stars, but my burger tasted a little too much like burger and not enough like charcoal. I hope you guys enjoy the charcoal taste as much as I did.
