Why Mother Tucker’s is Becoming Old Town Scottsdale’s Favorite Dive Bar

Share this Article

Baewatch Brunch at Mother Tucker's Tavern Every Sunday

If you’ve been searching for the perfect sports bar in Old Town Scottsdale, your search ends at
Mother Tucker’s Tavern. Since opening our doors on Saddlebag Trail, we’ve quickly become the
go-to spot for locals who want to watch the game without the typical Scottsdale pretense or
price tags.

What Makes a Great Sports Bar? We Asked Scottsdale.

When we set out to create Mother Tucker’s, we surveyed hundreds of sports fans about what
they wanted in their ideal bar. The answers were clear: great TVs, no cover charges, good food,
and fair prices. Sounds simple, right? Yet somehow, most bars in Old Town Scottsdale miss the
mark.

Here’s how we’re different.

Every UFC Fight. Every Game. Zero Cover Charge.

Let’s start with what matters most – the sports. We show every UFC fight in Scottsdale on our
20+ HD TVs with full sound for main events. While other bars charge $10-20 covers for fight
nights, we believe your money should go toward our signature Tucker Burger or wings, not just
walking in the door.

Our sports packages include:

  • NFL Sunday Ticket (every game, every Sunday)
  • NBA League Pass
  • NHL Center Ice
  • MLB Extra Innings
  • ESPN+, Fox Sports, and more

Whether you’re a Cardinals fan, a Suns die-hard, or rooting for your out-of-state team, we’ve
got you covered.

The Food: Elevated Bar Fare That Actually Delivers

Unlike typical sports bars serving frozen food, our kitchen team takes pride in every dish. Our
menu highlights include:

The Tucker Burger – Half-pound Angus beef, secret sauce, crispy bacon, and all the fixings. It’s
become legendary among regulars who claim it’s the best burger in Old Town.

Wings Your Way – Six flavors ranging from classic Buffalo to our signature Tucker’s Hot honey
garlic. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and made fresh to order.

Loaded Nachos – Designed for sharing during the game, piled high with seasoned beef, queso,
jalapeños, and house-made guacamole.

Game Day Specials – Check our Instagram for daily features like $2 taco Tuesdays and wing
specials during Monday Night Football.

Our kitchen stays open until 11 PM every night – later than most Old Town spots – because we
know hunger doesn’t follow a 9 PM schedule.

The Dive Bar Difference

Mother Tucker’s embraces the authentic American dive bar spirit. No velvet ropes, no dress
codes, no attitude. Come in your jersey, come in your work clothes, come as you are. This is
what dive bars in Scottsdale should be – welcoming spaces where the beer is cold and
everyone’s equal.

Our bartenders embody this philosophy. They’ll remember your name by your third visit and
your drink order by your fifth. It’s the kind of personal service that’s been lost in corporate bar
culture.

Location, Location, Location

Nestled at 4420 North Saddlebag Trail in the heart of Old Town’s entertainment district, we’re
walking distance from:

  • Major hotels like the W Scottsdale
  • Shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square
  • Other nightlife options (for when you want to bar hop)
  • Public parking that’s free after 6 PM

Beyond Sports: What Else Happens at Tucker’s

While sports are our bread and butter, we’re more than just a place to watch the game:

Baewatch Sunday Brunch – Our wildest weekly party with DJ music, creative cocktails, and
beach vibes in the desert. It’s quickly becoming Scottsdale’s can’t-miss Sunday experience.

Party Weekends – Live DJ and dancing create the perfect backdrop for your Friday and
Saturday nights.

Private Events – From fantasy football drafts to birthday parties, our spaces accommodate
groups of 10-100.

Daily Happy Hour (3-7 PM) – Discounted drafts, well drinks, and appetizer specials every single
day.

The Bottom Line

In a city full of overpriced cocktail lounges and exclusive nightclubs, Mother Tucker’s Tavern
offers something different – an authentic, unpretentious spot where you can actually enjoy
watching sports without breaking the bank.

Next time you’re looking for bars in Old Town Scottsdale to catch the game, skip the tourist
traps and corporate chains. Head to Mother Tucker’s, where everybody’s welcome, nobody’s
special, and the game is always on.
