I checked each one's site or OpenTable page plus local coverage in November 2026. At the bottom I added two spots that aren't technically speakeasies but have the same feel, and I labeled them that way. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What's the password at Straight Up? You say the year Prohibition ended. I'll let you look that one up. ### Do I need a reservation for Scottsdale speakeasies? For Tell Your Friends and The Madam, yes. The Madam only has eight seats and Tell Your Friends books out. ### Is there a speakeasy in Old Town Scottsdale? The Beverly on Main is the closest thing in Old Town. Most of the true hidden bars are in North Scottsdale and McCormick Ranch. ### Do Scottsdale speakeasies have a dress code? Tell Your Friends does. Think business casual or cocktail attire. ## Find more in the directory [Scottsdale bars nightlife directory](https://directory.thescottsdalescoop.com/category/bars-nightlife?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=category_link) - Salt Cellar (not quite a speakeasy) - AZ88 (not quite a speakeasy) - Tell Your Friends - Straight Up at Hotel Adeline - The Madam at The Scottsdale Resort - Best Bars & Nightlife in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks - Best Date Night Spots in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks - Best Happy Hours in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks - Best Patios in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks - Best Restaurants in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks - Best Brunch Spots in Scottsdale Dining & Drinks ## Get the weekly picks Join 15,000 local subscribers You're in.
