Fantastic place to grab a drink. Very cool, themed bar with tasty beers! The owners are friendly, and love music as much as I do! Made for a great stop while I was visiting from NY.

Fantastic spot ! I wanted to find a relaxed place to do some work and have a glass of wine and I found it. Whether you want to socialize on a weekend or relax and have a drink on a weekday evening, you should come here. Good prices and friendly staff. Damian the owner is very welcoming.

Love this place! Great selection of beers. Always something new to try. Easy to access the place. Outdoor seating in the neighborhood has pedestrians walking by all the time. The added bonus is the food trucks in the evenings. Always something new here. Love it!

Amazing neighborhood bar, great welcoming staff/owners. They have a huge collections of beer and wine and are all very knowledgeable. They have food trucks as they dont have a kitchen. Basically you cant go wrong here.

Rift is currently one of my favorite spots in the valley. Its a casual dive-esque bar and winery that deserves your attention. A place for high-toppers, loungers, and orbiters alike.This place has a serious selection of craft beer. Six fridges line the wall, showcasing a selection of local brews and wines. A massive walk-in cooler houses the rest of the hidden gems, with twenty-five taps bubbling out golden brown goodness behind the bar.The lounge area has four couches in a rustic homey atmosphere, onlooking a cozy yet eclectic crate-crafted RIFT sign across the wall, which houses numerous trinkets, books, and various knickknacks that clearly stemmed from the owners own lives.And on the topic of staff, these guys are all-stars. They have fantastic recommendations for your personal palette and can talk about their drinks all night. They are personable, helpful, and easy to vibe with.I cant recommend RIFT enough; stop in next time youre in the area.

Neighborhood bar w excellent selection of craft beer beer & wine. Clean open air atmosphere & 3 wonderful owners w a vision. Support local owned small business so their doors stay open & they can upgrade your experience, buy your take out craft booze here too! Sign up for educational classes & join the podcast! The music does not disappoint & neither do the food trucks including Lobster Roll truck. Please stop in to see if this is for you & support these guys so they can expand. They opened during Pandemic and need our patronage.

This place has some really chill vibes! Its spaced out enough that I dont feel like Im right on someone. They have inside and outside seating. They have all different kinds of beers, sours and IPAs to try and if you really like one of them they have four packs that you can buy and bring home for later. They even have their own subscription loyalty program where you can get exclusive beers. The people who work there are so so so nice and they can really break down the flavors for you if youre not sure if you want to try something or not.

This place is awesome… very much what the area needs. Great booze selection aside, it’s the first time I’ve felt like I’m part of a “neighborhood” in the 10+ years of living just down the street.

Great little spot around the corner from my house. I love their beer selection. My wife doesn’t drink beer and the guy working behind the bar was able to find a beer that she liked. That was amazing! Definitely coming back MANY times!

Damian the owner is very knowledgeable and has great suggestions. Extensive and imho th best on-tap availability (25+beers and as many wines) with the significantly added bonus of being off-Mill. If you are trying to avoid the undergrad and the followers (i.e club surfers) of the college crowd, then this is the best place. If you have been to the Tortoise very similar vibe but with better seating.

This bar is the best kept secret in S Scottsdale. If you like good music, a great atmosphere, and an incredible beer and wine selection, look no further. You will NEVER hear top 40 BS or feel like you have to talk over anything or anyone. My new favorite place

Rift rocks. If you’re looking for a cozy atmosphere, good music, and a diverse selection of craft beer and wine; Then welcome to your new favorite bar. After a long day at work this is the place to be. Troy and Damien were great too. If you wanna throw the game on or listen to your favorite jam band they’re more than accommodating. Definitely gonna be back and often.
