text: Right before I heard about the new beach club that will be taking over where Myst and Suede now are I had finally checked out Spanish Fly a bar and restaurant housed in one of my former old faves Drift that already brought a beachy feel to Old Town Scottsdale I went there not expecting much in terms of food since I had seen scantily clad crowds taking over the premises on weekend days that made it seem more like a spot to be seen than get decent grubnnBut Spanish Fly has a pretty kickarse happy hour menu and their bean and cheese burritos rival my current faves those of Americas Taco Shop And no if you go there on a weekday night dressed in your business clothes right after work you do not have to worry about not fitting in with a bikiniclad crowd bathing suits are only acceptable there on weekends during the daynnThe bar looks like it should be connected to a hotel with pebble floors and lots of loungey furniture surrounding the pool Our bartender was friendly and laidback and the crowd was more diverse than the typical plastic you might expect from Old Town while most of the patrons were young some seemed like they had just left worknnSpanish Flys extensive happy hour is MondayFriday from noon pm making it a great place to day drink The happy hour menu features halfoff appetizers party bowls and bottles as well as twoforone drinks Their margaritas were superstrong so I thought it was definitely a great dealnnWe tried the bean and cheese dip at happy hour only with chips and it was a decently portioned serving of nachos that was heavier on the cheese than the beans I also had a muy delicioso bean and cheese burrito I ordered off the menu since the menu only features chicken fajita and carne asada burritos and the burrito was huge and very filling and had the perfect balance of beans and cheese I loved itnnWhile I enjoyed Drift for its tropicalinspired cocktails and decor Spanish Fly did not disappoint at all when it came to ambiance and food I would go back for lunch or happy hour or on a weekend when I want to be surrounded by beauties in a hotellike pool without the room charge
