Best dive bar(although the womans restroom rivals that of a top-notch spa so that’s as upscale as you can get). Always a friendly face(bartenders are awesome) and good pricing. Fried food here is just what’s needed after a long day at the office. My favorite is the chicken strips with onion rings– comes out piping hot. DJs is overall just a cool place to unwind and kick it with good people. It’s not a meat market so don’t go there if you’re looking for all that.

This place is a Scottsdale hallowed establishment. The bartender Jonesy is awesome. The lunchtime crowd is chill. The drinks are perfect and stiff. The food is made to order. No pretense. Just a good old fashioned bar.

Great Burgers in old town, Great Sandwiches in old town and Best beer. Jonesy remembers my name and my order. He also remembers how much I hate pickles. Never ever screws up my order. I love coming here 2 or 3 times a week. Every time is a 5 star

I can’t lie… I’ve been waiting a while to write this review for D.J.‘s — I LOOOOVETHISSPOT. Come in for lunch and get their burger and«frings»(½ order fries and ½ order onion rings) — SERIOUSLY great burgers! The owner is awesome. Only took me coming in once for lunch and he remembered me by name from then on. Cool décor throughout the place, T.V.‘s to peep the games and a great drink selection. Weeknights and(of course) weekends you will find a cool mix of peeps most times and definitely good vibes. In an overly pretentious and snotty part of town, this place is a welcomed dose of laidbackness(yes laidbackness is made up $#!t…and?! Haha)

My most favorite place when I go to Old Town Scottsdale. I have been coming here for years. This place never lets me down. The bartenders and staff are awesome and super friendly. I have even come here a few times during the day and the food is delicious too. I always have a great time when I go to DJ’s of Scottsdale.

This is my kind of crowd! With that said, I enjoy a place to relax and hang out at after work. Not quite a dive bar, per se, but a place to come to that knows who you are. Like cheers… Norm! Right in the middle of the old town bar scene. Prices on food and drinks are as you would expect for a place that has outlasted every other establishment in the area… less expensive and reasonable. $ 3 for draft and $ 3.50 bottles and $ 4 – 6 for mixed drinks on the weekends. Happy hours are the best here. They only have your traditional bar food(nachos, burgers, chicken fingers, etc.) but that is why I like this place. The food is ok and I only say that because this is old town Scottsdale. If your hungry, go to a good foodie restaurant nearby. FYI they are everywhere! If your thirsty and just want to chill this is the place to visit!

How have I never written a review until now?! I refer to DJ’s as «my bar,» as do many others, I’m sure. I am pretty much there every weekend because I live in Old Town and want to minimize my douche bag exposure as much as possible. While most of Old Town is composed of clubs, DJ’s is a dive bar where you can always feel comfortable and welcomed, but it’s not gross like another Old Town dive that will remain nameless. All of the bartenders are fantastic. They are friendly and great at what they do. Also, they pour big, cheap, strong drinks! You can’t beat that! There’s a reason that this bar has been around for over forty years, so check it out!

Great little dive bar in the heart of old town. Fun and great for smaller groups. Very clean and friendly staff. Stop in for a quick drink or sit and relax and enjoy some pin ball

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a dive bar in Old Town, which is refreshing! My husband and I even took the after party of our wedding down to DJs … what a sight we were — my wedding gown, tuxes, and dresses galore taking over the bar. I’ve been there a few times otherwise and service is always good and beer is cheap :)

I’ve been waiting 3 years to write this. Best bar ever in old town. Family vibe all around in this joint. Jonesy is the best bartender hands down. He always knew right when I walked in to hit me with a cold Bud heavy and a shot of fireball. Plus he listened to all our work drama and even had specials for us. Nice little patio for smoking and the good is great too. Patty melt, Chicago dog, quesadilla I could go on forever and I would, but let’s be real I don’t have that kind of time. Great selection of beer, wine and hard alcohol. Nice porch to toke down a few cigs and classic arcade games to enjoy whole sipping on a cocktail or two with your friends. Needless to say, DJs is one of Scottsdale’s best establishments.

How can anyone not like this bar? A bar where you hear yourself think & talk with friends when it’s still busy. I have been coming here for years and my drinks are always strong & I always enjoy talking to the bartenders. Always a lot of laughs, great guys! Lunch is a hidden gem here, the boys know how to use the grill well ! Doc made one the most impressive bacon cheese burgers I have ever had:) St. Pattys day their corn beef is top notch! Mike & Doc always tell me what’s the new beer or booze they have– 99.9% I become a huge fan of it! It’s a dive bar, but a comfortable one. Bathrooms are always clean, not too many annoying people. Its really great for locals to let loose!

DJ’s is bar far my favorite bar in OtoSco(that’s short hand for Old Town Scottsdale, squares). It’s not pretentious, it’s not packed, and the music doesn’t drown out conversation. 1 star docked because parking in OtoSco effing sucks(not their fault) and also because there is still a stray douche bag or two that wanders in from time to time(can’t you guys start macing them?).

This dive joint is okay, nothing too noteworthy or anything, but it’s average. Drinks are cheap and STRONG! I do tip well, because of this. :) One male bartender(don’t know name) is a roided-out douche-lord donning an Ass-liction shirt which is 3 sizes too small, and seems to be texting his little lover on his cell rather than assisting his thirsty patrons! Once I got his attention, he let out a sigh/grunt that he had to «do his job». LOL. Booo! Overall, very comfortable and aggressively unpretentious!

DJ’s is probably the armpit of Old Town… and I like it(not that I have an armpit fetish or anything, but you get the idea)! It doesn’t have all the fancy(and for the most part overrated) bells & whistles a lot of the other bars in this area have, which makes it unique. Yes, it’s a dive. Yes, it could probably using a good scrubbing. Yes, it offers cheap drinks. I’ll take that last one every day of the week(especially on the weekends). In all honestly, I can(kind of) «get» going to some of the nicer bars in Old Town for birthdays, graduations, etc. That being said I think DJ’s is a great spot to pop in at for a few rounds to get away from the crowds. It’s pretty spacious(there’s also a patio) & you can get drinks pretty quickly. If I’m out celebrating these things are important to me, which is why I really like DJ’s.

I’m not sure if it’s me getting older, or everyone else in Scottsdale getting younger, but it’s more of a headache than anything to doll up and go to Old Town these days. The last few times I braved it though I stopped by DJ’s and it helped to drown out the background of «Old Town Snottsdale» DJ’s is very relaxed, no heels needed, and the prices are great, or normal at the least. Not $ 10 a beer like everywhere else. It is hard to get past the crowed and the 30 minute find a parking sport ordeal, but if you can survive all that, make sure to hit up DJ’s, great drink prices, great patio, clean restrooms… AND they even have a back door for easy access *tee-hee* from the parking garage.
