Wolf by Vanderpump Roars into Scottsdale: The Ultimate Guide from Phoenix Bites

Posted on: June 29th, 2025 by Taryn Jeffries No Comments

Scottsdale’s Rooftop Revolution

For almost 20 years I have been enamored by the Real Housewives franchise. (I mean, can we get an update on Alex McCord and her family already?!) When the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills debuted in 2010, I was immediately drawn to Lisa Vanderpump—from her signature love of pink, her delightfully dressed up canine friends and perfectly posh lifestyle to her undeniable reign in the world of hospitality. When I caught wind that she’s bringing her luxe rooftop restaurant Wolf by Vanderpump to Scottsdale, I knew it would be a game-changer for our local dining scene. Slated to open Winter 2025 atop Caesars Republic Scottsdale, this high-design hotspot will offer sweeping Camelback Mountain views, a globally inspired menu, and cocktails as theatrical as they are delicious. Whether you’re a Vanderpump devotee, a lover of rooftop dining, or just searching for the best new Scottsdale restaurants, here’s everything you need to know.

Coming Winter 2025, Wolf by Vanderpump will open on the 7th-floor rooftop of Caesars Republic Scottsdale, offering panoramic views of Camelback Mountain across its expansive 6,500 sq ft space. Built by HCW in collaboration with Lisa Vanderpump, this marks her 39th hospitality concept and second Wolf outpost after Lake Tahoe.

Design That Howls

Lisa Vanderpump has worked works with her design partner Nick Alain to create a desert-inspired interior.

What you can expect:

  • A dramatic central bar—rooftop dreamscape, gleaming textures
  • The interior design features bespoke furniture and dim lighting which combines desert charm with wolflike enchantment.
  • The venue connects to Caesars Republic’s wolf icon La Lupa while maintaining the brand’s “Unleash Your Alter Ego” theme.

“Lisa has an incredible eye for design, hospitality, and creating unforgettable guest experiences… will transform the 7th floor into one of the most desirable and dynamic dining destinations in Scottsdale.” Rick Huffman (HCW CEO)

Menu & Cocktails: A Fusion of Desert & Globe

Wolf’s food philosophy features reimagined Lake‐Tahoe classics and brand-new Scottsdale-exclusive shareable bites using seasonal, regional ingredients.

Creative cocktails? Expect theatrical presentation infused with Arizona’s palette—think bold garnishes and Instagram-ready mixes.

Lisa adds: “This location will feel different to the Tahoe location… infused into the design, the food and the cocktails.”
