Outrider Rooftop Lounge feels like the rooftop brunch destination Phoenix should have had all along. Sitting on the 7th floor of the Canopy by Hilton in Old Town Scottsdale, the open-air layout offers sweeping views of Camelback Mountain and downtown Scottsdale, with comfortable lounge seating, fire pits, and a laid-back elegance that makes you want to linger. Their afternoon menu (served 11 AM–4 PM) features shareables and elevated casual bites, like turkey chorizo flatbread, poke ceviche, green-chile nachos, and tepary bean hummus, that work wonderfully for brunching in small groups or with a drink. Though it’s primarily known as a rooftop cocktail lounge, the quality of food + ambiance makes it a compelling brunch option when you want something off the beaten path. The service is polished, the design is stylish, and the setting feels elevated without being stiff. - Shane Jenkins
