Outrider Rooftop Lounge feels like the rooftop brunch destination Phoenix should have had all along. Sitting on the 7th floor of the Canopy by Hilton in Old Town Scottsdale, the open-air layout offers sweeping views of Camelback Mountain and downtown Scottsdale, with comfortable lounge seating, fire pits, and a laid-back elegance that makes you want to linger. Their afternoon menu (served 11 AM–4 PM) features shareables and elevated casual bites, like turkey chorizo flatbread, poke ceviche, green-chile nachos, and tepary bean hummus, that work wonderfully for brunching in small groups or with a drink. Though it’s primarily known as a rooftop cocktail lounge, the quality of food + ambiance makes it a compelling brunch option when you want something off the beaten path. The service is polished, the design is stylish, and the setting feels elevated without being stiff.

This is such a cute spot in scottsdale! The rooftop has such a beautiful view and a cozy esthetic. The food and drinks were hands down better and so much more affordable than places such as maple and ash or capital grill. The intimate setting is perfect for any special ocassion or celebration. My boyfriend and I were there not too long ago and have every intention on making Outrider a monthly date night spot. We were highly impressed with out wait staff, the manager of the hotel Beth came by and was such a delight to speak with. She and her staff made our night truly unforgettable

This rooftop lounge is the perfect blend of style and chill. The views of Camelback Mountain at sunset are absolutely stunning, and the fire pits make evening gatherings feel cozy. Their craft cocktails are creative and pair well with shareable bites like poke or meatballs. The staff is friendly and laid-back, it never feels pretentious even when it’s buzzing. A spot I’ll definitely return to!
