Rusty Spur Saloon: Scottsdale's Cowboy Landmark

Step back in time at the Rusty Spur Saloon, an iconic landmark in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. Housed in a building that dates back to 1921, the saloon was originally the Farmer's State Bank of Scottsdale. The bank operated until 1933, after which the building served as the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce and a real estate office before being transformed into the Rusty Spur Saloon in 1951. Today, the Rusty Spur is Scottsdale's oldest bar and a registered historical landmark, offering visitors a genuine taste of the Old West. The original bank vault remains and is now used to store beer and liquor. The saloon is known for its live country music, played daily and nightly, creating a lively party atmosphere. The walls are adorned with license plates, photos, and other memorabilia, telling the story of the saloon and the city. The Rusty Spur has attracted many famous patrons over the years, including John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Jennifer Aniston, and Dierks Bentley. It's a place where cowboys and cowgirls, tourists, and locals gather to enjoy cold drinks and good company. The saloon serves lunch with an average entree price of $15 or less and offers drinks until closing time. Every year, signed dollar bills are collected from the walls and donated to Phoenix Children's Hospital.
