Scottsdale Restaurants With Private Rooms for Large Groups, Birthdays and Bachelorettes

Getting a table for 2 in Scottsdale is easy. Getting a table for 14 on a Saturday in March? That's a whole different sport.

We've booked group dinners for 2,000+ events since 2018, from bachelorettes and birthdays to guys trips and company parties. These are the Scottsdale restaurants with private rooms (and big tables) we trust when the group chat says "we need somewhere that fits all of us."

Just looking for a great dinner, no big group required? Start with our best restaurants in Scottsdale list.

Scottsdale restaurants with private rooms for large groups

1. Maple & Ash

Best for: big birthdays, milestone dinners and corporate groups who want a splurge.

This is our go-to when a group wants the full steakhouse experience. It has five private spaces, from The Green Room (18 seated) to The Atrium (60 seated) and the Terrace (72 seated). Translation: it works for a group of 15 or a party of 70.

2. Toca Madera

Best for: bachelorettes, birthdays and any group that wants dinner to feel like the start of the party.

High energy, great cocktails and a room that gets loud in the best way. The private dining room seats 16, the patio seats 60, and the main dining room seats 124 if you're taking over the whole place.

3. Citizen Public House

Best for: groups of 10 to 25 who care about the cocktails as much as the food.

This Old Town favorite has semi-private and private spaces, including a speakeasy upstairs, and the team can build a custom menu for your group. It's walkable to the bars, so dinner rolls right into the night.

4. ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho

Best for: birthday brunches, retro vibes and groups staying in Old Town.

ZuZu brings full midcentury charm, and its hidden Rosie Room is a fun private spot for a smaller group. Bonus: you're steps from the hotel pool and a short walk to Old Town.

5. Olive & Ivy

Best for: daytime celebrations, showers and long lunches on the Scottsdale Waterfront.

Mediterranean food, a big patio by the canal and private rooms for groups. It's an easy pick when your crew includes everyone from the bride's mom to the bridesmaids.

6. Arboleda

Best for: North Scottsdale groups and anyone staying near Kierland.

This Mediterranean spot at Scottsdale Quarter has a private dining room and a covered south patio with its own bar, plus heaters for winter nights and misters for summer ones.

7. Dominick's Steakhouse

Best for: upscale birthdays and client dinners.

Also at Scottsdale Quarter, Dominick's has private rooms (a wine room, an executive room and a library) and a rooftop patio that's worth the trip on its own.

8. The Global Ambassador (worth the drive)

Best for: groups who want something newer and a little different.

About 15 minutes from Old Town on Camelback Road in Phoenix, The Global Ambassador hotel has several restaurants under one roof, including Le Âme (a French steakhouse) and Pink Dolphin (Mexican and Peruvian by the pool). We work with The Global Ambassador's restaurants, so ask us about booking your group here.

The best restaurants for a bachelorette or bachelor party in Scottsdale

Bach dinners have their own rules: one table for the whole crew, a vibe that matches the weekend, and an easy walk (or ride) to wherever you're going next.

• Bachelorette, party night: Toca Madera. The room is the pregame.

Tips for booking a group dinner in Scottsdale

• Book early in peak season. October through May is busy, and big tables go first. For a Saturday, start looking 4 to 6 weeks out.

• Ask about private rooms. Many restaurants require a set menu or a food and beverage minimum for private spaces. Ask before you fall in love with a room.

• Plan the bill before you sit down. Large parties often have gratuity added automatically, and splitting 14 ways is nobody's idea of fun. Decide up front who's paying what.

• Give the restaurant a real headcount. Showing up with 9 when you booked 14 (or 14 when you booked 9) is the fastest way to lose a good table.

• Book the ride, too. Getting 14 people to and from dinner is easier with transportation for the whole group than with five separate rideshares.

Let us book it for you

We book restaurants all over Scottsdale and Phoenix, plus everything around the dinner: decor, transportation, the after-party and the brunch the next morning. Tell us your date, group size and vibe, and we'll handle the rest. Start with our Scottsdale event planner page.
