The Rusty Spur Saloon is world famous and for its rowdy American West atmosphere and country-western guitar music seven days and nights every week. This one room saloon was originally the Farmer's State Bank of Scottsdale open for business from 1921 - 1933. The bank vault is still used - as cold drink storage. This small bar is usually crowded and is especially popular after any event or spring training game, but as they say “the more the merrier.”
