Location: Southeast corner of Camelback Road and Saddlebag Trail, next to Riot House in Old Town Scottsdale at 4439 N. Saddlebag Trail.

Description: A two-story restaurant is being built by Jocque Concepts, the creators behind Diego Pops, The Hot Chick and The Montauk, among others.

The site will have a two-story bar, restaurant and two-level patio lounge, according to planning documents submitted to Scottsdale. The ground level will include patio courtyards at the north and south. The second-level patio bar will feature a covered terrace that opens toward the street with a covered wood-frame trellis structure.

History : The owner requested city approval to convert the building from a two-story office space into a restaurant in April 2022. Scottsdale's Development Review Board approved the site plan, building elevations and landscaping. Public records show Ryan Jocque has owned the parcel since 2023.

When will the work be done? An architect on the project said it was in the final months of completion, though the owner did not respond to questions about when the project would officially open. The concept has been underway for roughly three years.
