This summer, Scottsdale Quarter is home to the season’s most playful dining destination: JoJo’s ShakeBAR. Equal parts retro throwback and culinary delight, JoJo’s blends the best of 80s and 90s nostalgia with over-the-top milkshakes, inventive cocktails, and hands-on activities that make it a must-visit for families, friend groups, and anyone looking to embrace the spirit of summer.
The vibe is unmistakably fun: bright colors, familiar tunes from decades past, and a menu that’s both indulgent and inventive. But it’s not just about the look and feel. JoJo’s has launched a new summer initiative called Camp JoJo’s, transforming the venue into a full-on experience hub through late August. It’s a creative twist on the traditional summer camp, reimagined for the whole family and designed to beat the Arizona heat while creating memories along the way.
At the heart of Camp JoJo’s is a rotating lineup of hands-on activities, available Sunday through Thursday. Each month brings a new creative experience that gives guests a chance to unwind, create, and connect. Kicking off the season is Paint & Plant (June 1-29), where guests can customize flower pots before planting succulents to take home—a small, living reminder of their summer adventure.
From June 30 through July 27, the classic summer camp tradition of making friendship bracelets makes a colorful return. Whether you’re bringing your kids or catching up with childhood friends, crafting bracelets together offers a nostalgic way to reconnect. Then from July 28 through August 24, guests can get their hands a little messier with Build & Paint Birdhouses, a perfect activity for nature lovers and DIY enthusiasts.
JoJo’s wouldn’t be JoJo’s without its signature flair for food and drink. The restaurant is renowned for its Biggie Shakes, and this summer’s S’mores Biggie Shake is a showstopper. This towering dessert features a decadent chocolate shake topped with a gooey s’mores monster cookie, a chocolate-covered pretzel, and even a toasted marshmallow right on top. It’s a treat that’s photogenic, delicious, and built for sharing (or not).
For the grown-ups, JoJo’s is also serving a S’mores-Tini: a cocktail that captures all the fireside flavor of a traditional s’more, blended into a perfectly chilled martini. It’s an ideal way to elevate your night out, whether you’re on a date or catching up with friends under the Scottsdale sun.
New to the menu this year is the Table-Side S’mores Experience, giving guests the chance to roast marshmallows and craft custom s’mores right at the table. With options like Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, and more, it’s an activity and a dessert rolled into one. Think of it as campfire fun without the bugs or smoke—just sweet memories in the making.
Beyond the themed experiences and mouthwatering treats, JoJo’s ShakeBAR offers an atmosphere that’s inclusive, vibrant, and utterly unique. No matter the occasion, JoJo’s invites guests to let loose, get a little creative, and indulge in food that’s as fun as it is flavorful.
So, if you’re looking for a place to escape the heat, JoJo’s ShakeBAR is the spot to be this summer. With something happening every week and treats that delight all ages, it’s a meal and an experience.
