One Handsome Bastard Distillery

Great spot to sit outside and soak up the Old Town vibe. We stopped in for drinks and lunch to meet up with hubby’s friend, and ended up enjoying such a nice afternoon that we came back twice during our spring training trip. The drinks were good, maybe a little on the weak side for the price-but still enjoyable. Food was great. The wait staff were fantastic with great customer service. Definitely a fun place to relax and people-watch! I’ll be back next year!

I travel a lot for work, and even for a single meal, I always do my research. While looking for a place to have brunch in Scottsdale, I decided to skip the typical brunch cafés — and this spot caught my eye. After seeing the photos other reviewers had posted, I just had to come. I arrived right after opening and turned out to be the first customer of the day. I ordered the BBQ Burger and a Papago Orange Blossom beer. Guys, I’ve been to the U.S. many times on business trips, and I always try burgers wherever I go — but this one goes beyond Arizona. It’s truly one of the best of the best. Absolutely incredible. I was eating so fast I even found myself mumbling, “this is crazy,” and I told the server this burger was insane — in the best way possible. The pairing with the beer was just perfect. I wanted to try other dishes too, but I was way too full. If my hotel were closer, I’d have definitely come back for dinner. I regret not ordering a few more bites. If you live in Phoenix or ever get the chance to visit Scottsdale, you have to check this place out. I took lots of photos — the pictures and the taste of that burger are something I’ll remember for a long time.

I was in town for a weekend get away, when we came across "The Handsome Bastard" (love the name!). Turns out they are small batch vodka and gin distillery plus restaurant. Our waitress Laurisa was super friendly and took great care of us. The manager Mike stopped by to check on us and we were able to visit with him several times. Told us the story of their vodka - great guy!! We just opted for a quick bite and drinks. Our choice was the nachos w chicken - it was tray full of nachos, more than I expected!! Lots of chicken, cheese, black beans and Pico and it had great flavor. Drinks i opted for a flight of 4 vodka tastings, plus a BC basil cocktail and an apple cider sangria. Both drinks were refreshing (i would order them again). I ordered an extra shot with The Handsome Bastard potato vodka, it had clean taste. I liked it so much, I bought a bottle. Thank you Mike, Laurisa and the staff for a great visit!

My mom and I saw this place driving through Old Town and saw available parking, so we decided to check it out. The atmosphere is a mix of modern and rustic, on topic with a distillery. We were greeted with open self seating and a very detailed breakdown of the history from our waiter Mike(one of the handsome bastards). I ordered a glass of red wine along with the buffalo boneless wings, and I was very impressed with the flavor and quality overall. It has a touch of barbecue but no ingredients overpowers another, leaving a combination of flavor. 10/10 would recommend and come back again!

I consider myself a Bloody Mary connoisseur. I have a rating system including a 3 point scale for the following categorizes that I think every Bloody Mary needs: Brine, Spice, Acid, and Tomato. (Garnish has its own separate scale). This Mary ranked highly on my chart with a good balance and scale in all categories. We also ordered their fries which weren’t traditionally shaped (looked more like chips) but they were amazing.
