Lochiel Brewing

places/ChIJUdsAZtKvK4cRU_viJuk7IZo/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNId3V1ZHRnRRAB

Surprisingly spacious. I really dig this spot,  dry chill with card games on the tables. The owner and one employee were working for our visit and they were killing it. The place was hopping and they were more than keeping up. The beer is awesome, impressive selection for the space they have. I am excited to see their growth.

Stopped here to cool off and was delightfully surprised that they serve $4 pints when temperature is over 104 degrees of freedom units…A Scottish brewery with a ninth gen brewmaster (enough said). I’m an IPA lover myself but was extremely happy with their Bitter (ESB) brew. The waitress was such a delight as well! Very knowledgeable and helped me find what I like. Plus they offer complimentary snacks. From out of town and will definitely stop by again next time I’m back!

Great beer. No food, but you can bring your own! Friendly staff

places/ChIJUdsAZtKvK4cRU_viJuk7IZo/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRdU1qMWt3RRAB

The best beer in the region. We love the oatmeal stout. Lochiel Beer is really clean beer: The owner told us about how they clean the pipes regularly and use high quality grains from the UK. I notice a difference between drinking Lochiel beer and store bought beer. I don't feel hungover or grumpy the next day! This beer is really healthy, I feel. If that sounds odd, just drink it and you will notice a difference.

I also like that this place is a brewery, not a bar. Really down to earth normal people who are nice.

Great beer! The scotch ale was one of the best I've ever had! They were so friendly! There was nowhere for us to sit when we got there, but that didn't stop the waitress from having a beer in our hand within minutes of being there!

Cider Corps Mesa

We tried the margherita pizza and cider flight. Both were so good and reasonably priced for the two of us to share. Service was nice and quick. Great variety of drinks and flavors. We also liked the military wall art and decor. Next time we're in the area we'd love to come back again!

Good ciders!  I’m not a big cider guy (actually don’t drink a whole lot of alcohol at all anymore), but what they served was tasty and the quality was good.  The “Apple Pie” cider did taste just like apple pie.  Service was excellent!  Definitely a worthwhile location.  I had some Myke’s Pizza while I was there.  Outside patio might get hot in the summer with the west exposure.

Great staff. Great drink and food. Great atmosphere and great service!

What can I say…this place is just GREAT!!! Took a friend from out of town to go have a bite and a beverage. We were pleasantly surprised about everything this place is!  Come on down and grab something. You will not be disappointed at all!

The pizza in there was delicious, it’s not from cider corps, but it’s great to have it there. I loved the Sticky the most, we had a few others in our flight of ciders. The mango one was also sooooo good. Very happy with our stop, the staff was very friendly and informative too.

places/ChIJAfbqjuinK4cRm5ckYwfVIYU/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURmM0llMXZRRRAB

This is an incredibly neat place to grab a drink. Veteran owned and it’s very clear based on the decor and cleverly named drinks. The staff were super friendly and helpful as it was my first time there. I was given a sampler and a glass of water without even asking! Their ciders are phenomenal and you can mix and match a 4 pack to take with you!

Best neighborhood hangout; casual feel and great vibe. Outstanding beer selection. Seating inside and out. Small inside gives it a friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Great happy hour prices. And check out their local brewery around the corner, Phantom Fox.

places/ChIJ2fo06m2nK4cRYQBC8QCIs8E/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNack9mbUhnEAE

The place was definitely what you would call busy, but that didn't stop the bartender from coming out from behind the bar and serving as quickly and promptly, they pour pints and they have many different handles. Nothing but a list beers. I had the stout and my wife had a nice amber and they were both good 👍🏽💯

Tipsy Cactus TapRoom & Bottle Shop

We love this place. The drinks are good, priced well, and the service is fantastic. They have food trucks that come most days and they choose the trucks wisely. The Chimichurri Argentine Grill is our favorite. Come in, chill in the awesome atmosphere, get a drink or two, and enjoy some ribs and wings.

places/ChIJ3Yg41IcHK4cRizFbDZmEc_o/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VQcVYtTkRDci1pOUhnEAE

Was in the area, figured why not stop in and take a look.

Popped in, immediately went over to the bottle selection, not great, there was a few options-not as many as I expected though, it looked rather lacking in the selection department. I looked around, there were 3-4 people there, didn't see any employees during my very short visit of under 3-5 minutes. No one was behind the bar as far I could tell.

It looked like a good chill spot, there were some comfortable seating locations, some party games, some little board games, and lots of beer on tap. Maybe their bottle selection was just a one-off situation, or times are tough, unsure. I took no pictures, didn't feel right to do so.

I would check it out again if with a friend and not too busy.

places/ChIJ3Yg41IcHK4cRizFbDZmEc_o/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJNklIVkZ3EAE

Great neighborhood bar hidden in a strip mall. There was a food truck, but we didn't get any food. The selection on tap and in the fridge was great. The bartender was super friendly and gave us a few samples. The bar filled up when we were heading out, but it never got obnoxiously loud. We will definitely be back!

This is a great place with a variety of delicious craft beers. They are passionate about providing a variety of quality choices. Thursday nights have the cheesesteak joint food truck, fully equipped with their cheesesteak eggrolls. The atmosphere is very versatile from barstools and TVs to High top tables or even couch seating. It is a tap room so you are reliant on food trucks or you can bring your own food and they are more than happy to cheers you with a beer.

Excellent brewery with a great pub style taproom. The vibes are always chill and the beer is solid. They don't change up their menu frequently so if you like a beer, chances are it will be on the menu when you come back next time. The bartenders here are very friendly and are willing to let you sample before you commit to a pint. Twan, Amanda, and Oscar are super cool. Definitely a chill place to hit in Downtown Mesa.

places/ChIJl2Y14einK4cREW8XQASxmXQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN2MFlLUzZBRRAB

*Edit* I stopped by because I was in the area and remembered that I liked the King Gus and wanted to take a can to go. It was 6 dollars a can at the time of my original review  (about a month ago) and now they are over 8 dollars a can. That's way too much. Since that's my favorite beer from this brewery, I have to dock it stars.

Original review
This place is pretty solid. I met the owner and talked for quite a bit. He is passionate and knows his stuff. The beer is solid. I really liked the "give peat a chance" the "king gus" (only sold in cans but is on the level of a church music or hop chowda), and the "trigo suave". The "hopiphany" and the "sabastians porter" were good, but not my favorites. The prices were also reasonable. Happy hour is 2 to 6. They have full size pretzels and bags of chips but food can be ordered from next door or you can bring some in. Come check them out, you won't be disappointed.

places/ChIJl2Y14einK4cREW8XQASxmXQ/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNUblBiWExnEAE

Yyyooo! These guys should be at 5 stars! Cool dudes running it on a Sunday. Quick to pour your drink and chill. Pretty solid spot. The beer is also very good. Our favs were  Give Peat A Chance and Cafe Oro. Will def stop in the next time we are in Mesa.

Happy to visit the Mesa breweries along the light rail with this being our first stop. Great Saison that is year round (a hard find). Met the owner who was very friendly and helpful with our selection and beer tastes. Location is cozy right in the light rail with the smell of a brewery wafting through the air. I'll have to come back during Ren Fair or the next time I'm in Mesa. Thank you.

Pour Wine & Taproom

places/ChIJr-wdv56xK4cRr_S5AE1hsA4/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRM3FUenpBRRAB

We met up with another couple on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy, but we were able to secure a table in the back within minutes. It was not obnoxiously loud, and the vibes were pretty laid back. The selection was amazing and available to see on your phone with pictures and reviews for those with selection anxiety. Stating that, I got the same thing thrice. I'm not much of a drinker, but I've been on the lookout of a smoothie beer I've had many years ago. To my luck, they had something even better than what I was looking for and then some. Oh, the Bavarian pretzel with the beer cheese it top-tier coming from a pretzel connoisseur. It was so good that it disappeared within seconds after it cooled down to finger touching temperatures. We had to order another and the table was in aggrement.

The staff were fantastic and were there knowledgeable on their stock. Shoutout to Josh in particular, he took great care of us! They offered plenty of recommendations going off of basic keywords. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back for happy hour and more get togethers with friends.

places/ChIJr-wdv56xK4cRr_S5AE1hsA4/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRX3N6TEFREAE

Well they do offer little bites of food here that is not the reason you come here they have an excellent selection of wine beer on tap and Meads. Whoever happens to be working in the counter is always friendly and helpful unfortunately sometimes they're not old enough to drink so they can't really comment on what things taste like but they'll go off of what customers told them or you can just get a sample of everything and anything you like on tap. They have a refrigerator with bottled alcohol as well to take home if you like. The prices are fair the amount that they give you. It is a very small atmosphere but it's always clean and everyone in there seems to have a pretty good vibe

places/ChIJr-wdv56xK4cRr_S5AE1hsA4/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VObTR4WVBoakxPdVF3EAE

This business is very petty and the owner is very insecure. A former patron there, who now works for my company, told me her experience there, and I was beyond mortified. She would buy beers from them, and support them constantly. But one day she left a very positive review for them (stating that X bartender was amazing, and how she loved the place, but also it would be nice if they introduced some *east coast beers* to the menu). The next day she comes in to support the business, and is told by a very young employee, that she cannot be there anymore, and can't buy beer from them anymore either...(???) To find out why...because the alcoholic owner was offended by her request to have *east coast beers*. Do not support people like this...Very odd behavior and I thought other patrons and employees should know about this guy Kreg (the owner). Didn't even have the decency to tell this lady himself of why she was 86'd. Do not support this place.

I had an amazing experience at Pour, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Josh. His skill, attention to detail, and welcoming attitude made my night unforgettable. The drinks were perfectly crafted, and their recommendations were spot-on. You can tell they truly care about creating a great experience for their customers. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for Josh when you visit!

P.S. Greg and Corona (the owners) are phenomenal and I highly recommend the Tuesday Bingo

I saw this brewery last year and really wanted to stop by, but didn’t get the chance. I finally made it this year, and I’m so glad I did! Hands down the best brewery, especially if you love sours.

Phantom Fox Beer Company

A great spot in DT Mesa! Stopped in for the first time recently and really enjoyed it here.

We came here for some drinks but you can order food as well. The pizza looks delicious and will have to try it next time.
Drinks wise, they have a large menu with a ton of variety. Spirits and cocktails are available, and a huge selection of draft beers. The Chupacabra is really good - a nice, light Mexican Lager that hits the spot. If you enjoy drinking local brews, you should add this to your list.

The inside is nice and open. Plenty of high tops, outside seating, and seats at the bar. They have a bunch of TVs with the game on throughout the inside. All of the bartenders were very nice and helpful.

Overall, really enjoyed coming here and will definitely come back!

Wow, what a great brewery. Friendly beer tender and enjoyed a flight of a few beers. Great 👍 beers.
We were impressed with the look of the pizzas coming out of the kitchen.
We will definitely return for more beverages and food.

Still top notch combination.

The ambiance inside is very classy and intimate. Loved the vibe of the whole place. The backdrop of the distillery behind the bar is so cool!

The bartenders are all really nice and super helpful. They explain the drinks so well and don't rush you at all.
Every drink we tried, we enjoyed! Personally, I ordered the Penny Chillin' and loved it! Such a good cocktail - I would definitely recommend it.

Whether you're sitting at the bar or in a booth, you have a great seat in here. Next time you're walking down Main, you need to stop in at Arizona Distilling Co., this place is awesome!

He had the Blue Raspberry Fluff and I went for the Middletown Punch.  They were both good choices.  We started with the Parmesan truffle Idaho fries. He tried the Twisted Jalapeno flatbread and I went with the BBQ Cesar wrap.  We were clearly hungry as there is no picture evidence of the food.

Great craft beer, fresh and delicious! Nice patio and food is available from the shared businesses. It's a special treat on Sundays at 2PM when Vaco Taco is there, the owners are very dedicated to making quality food, it is so consistent and delicious! 12 West keeps it simple, with a counter order, you get to select from a good selection of hand crafted brews, and enjoy. You can order food from the various restaurants that are on the same lot or a short walk away. The patio is really nice and dog friendly. We have been coming here since they opened, and we enjoy their variety and personality!

Fantastic selection of craft beers. I am a big fan of the Frontside and the Super Beaker! Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. There is also an amazing pizza place nextdoor, so you can enjoy great food and great beer in the same place!

Visited 12 West Brewing Co for the first time. The beer and service were great in a well-designed establishment.

places/ChIJP9w1GjqsK4cRgdESqSpSdas/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURJbmYzOEJBEAE

UPDATE: Jan 2025. STILL a great experience. Today the outdoor space is packed with a cycling group. Loud and fun. Our beers are great in the winter Arizona sun. I’m having my go-to Arizona pils and my wife is enjoying a delightful, refreshing citrus brew. Pics attached.

UPDATE MARCH 2024. They've enlarged the space in the year since we've been here. Serving great brews including several crisp and satisfying citrus based craft beers. More pics attached.

UPDATE FEB 2023. STILL a great brew in a great location with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Today our group had the stand-by Arizona Pilsner, the Blood Orange and a Coffee Stout. Perfectly cold, fresh and refreshing.

UPDATE FEB 9. Still brewing some really great pours. Our group of four snapped up some ice cold brews to go with our wood-fired oven pizzas from Fire and Brimstone next door. They still have a reciprocal agreement where you order your food then slip over to 12 West, take a seat outside in the warm sun on the 12 West covered patio while you sip your brews and chow down on some pizza.

Outstanding selection of great cold brews. Good prices. Pet friendly. Great staff.

B.R.I. Taproom & Arcade

Video game bar. That's all you need to know. Bartender was friendly and fun and we had a great time drinking different beers and playing pinball. There is a machine to get quarters for games. No food but plenty of choices nearby. A great DJ Sid Riddle was there today. If you are looking for arcade games and beer this is your spot.

Wonderful taproom and arcade that is also dog friendly..  they don't serve food but you can bring in take out from any of the delicious restaurants in the area.

I have been a long time patron of both locations (RIP Stapley & 60) for years now. Unfortunately we started limiting our time at the tap room because a very specific bartender hates when we come in with our kid. On top of that he is inattentive and rude, often spending most of his time on his phone. On our last (and final) visit, I was disappointed to see that he was working when we walked in but had high hopes since he actually acknowledged our presence and was initially mildly friendly which has never happened before. About 5 minutes in, my kid started running toward our table where I was sitting and I asked her to stop running in the building. As I was talking to my child about calming down, my husband was walking back to our table as well and the bartender tells him, “I’m not a babysitter. If you can’t keep your kid in line, I’ll tab you out and you can leave.” We had invited 23 people to meet us there for beers and games to celebrate my child’s theater performance. When we arrived, there were 3 people in the bar. We had all ordered a beer but immediately tabbed out and left to go to Level One where we stayed for the rest of the day. This is not the first time this bartender has treated us with disdain but it certainly will be the last. It’s a shame because my husband use to love it there and has celebrated birthdays and other occasions there. But he finally lost it after this all-too-frequent encounter with this lazy and rude man. We won’t be back.

Great place on Main Street in Mesa. They have a great variety of beers (and they're not all IPAs for once). Tons of old pinball and arcade games. Kid and adult friendly but kids need to be out by 7 pm. 80s music like The Cure playing the whole time. What could be better?

Such a great addition to Tempe. They make really good beer and have some really good grub!
Tons of beers on tap, great vibe, really nice patio, etc.
They also have ciders, meads and wine.
Really nice people, too!

Quality brews and easy going atmosphere. While there we talked with the head brewer and another owner. Both were wonderful to talk to and very knowledgeable about their products. Definitely go check this place out!

The food and beer are delicious! If you don’t like beer they also have hard seltzer. My wife tried each of them and enjoyed the variety. My mother in law doesn’t like beer or seltzer so she was able to have wine.

They also have a dog friendly patio that is shaded with two TV’s.

Enjoy!!

So much my new favorite place. The beers and seltzers are outstanding! The have great food, amazingly friendly staff, and the patio is gorgeous with plenty of TVs to watch my Diamondbacks!  Keep an eye on that ABV% folks! This stuff is so good! *Knocks back another Purple Rain*
I'll be there often! 10 out of 5 stars!

Arizona Wilderness Gilbert Brewpub

places/ChIJR_m_xzOoK4cRD8uEWOtYiKs/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tGMWN6WklUVGRhUjBkZk5qTmZUME5zYlcxcGJGRRAB

First off — the nachos! Absolutely nailed it. A complete delight and definitely the highlight of the meal. The Rinn & Tonic was a fun twist on a classic, with a nice smoky edge that stood out. I was curious about the hot honey pulled pork and found it worth a try — sweet, spicy, and satisfying. Unfortunately, the peanut butter and jelly burger missed the mark for me. The peanut flavor was overpowering and drowned out everything else.

Service was okay, though the space was uncomfortably hot, which may have affected the energy and pace a bit. I’m glad I gave it a shot, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to return.

places/ChIJR_m_xzOoK4cRD8uEWOtYiKs/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNvNzRfSnZBRRAB

TLDR: Great food and beer. Large wrap-around patio with plenty of indoor seating too.

We were wandering around on the East side for some reason and wanted to have an early dinner on a Friday (3pm). This place showed less busy than usual. It’s in a standalone building with a big patio that wraps around the building (dog friendly).

They have a “just right” sized menu with an organic and sustainable vibe. We started with The Regen Pretzel with beer cheese and beer mustard, accompanied with a nice red wine and a Hefeweizen. We wiped the pretzel and sauces out and would have ate another, but had to save room for our dinner. The beer was perfect with the appetizer and food. Good enough that this was one of my rare instances to get second pint.

I had the Elote burger and my wife had the Sonoran Cajun Chicken. Both were delicious. The “Elote Dip” on my burger turned out to be a pile of Elote corn kernels, but it all tasted great. We chose the Wilderness Fries, which are seasoned, duck fat fries. Great choice and they were cooked perfectly.

Great, attentive service. We will find a reason to be back again!

places/ChIJR_m_xzOoK4cRD8uEWOtYiKs/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURnb19McnhBRRAB

What can I say? This is a must do if you want great craft beer and amazing food. My wife and I spent 4 months in Gilbert and this was our favorite spot. Each time we went, we requested Miguel's section. He is a consummate professional. Beer... the best. Food... amazing. Service... exceptional.

places/ChIJR_m_xzOoK4cRD8uEWOtYiKs/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURBNy15V0xBEAE

I’ve been coming here since they opened and…. MY HAVE THEY CHANGED! In a great way. Their menu is delicious with lots of conscious and locally sourced ingredients and various vegetarian and other special diet friendly items. I was meeting for a Busienss meeting and we sat inside. I had the duck fat wings and onion rings and he had the burger. North we filing and fantastic. I brought my daughter with me and she had the nuggies and fries. She loved them. The staff is always cool and the space is really developing into a cool indoor / outdoor spot for magical interactions.

Great experience! Food came out very fast and everything was great. Brandy, our server, was quick with refills and very pleasant to be around. We got the pretzel (amazing texture), the pb and j burger (loved), and the vegan Sonoran dish (great). I’d recommend this place.

Beer was good but male bartender was rude and had an attitude. Plenty of other, better and friendlier breweries in the valley. Avoid this one.

If I could give this place a 10 out of 10 I would. Unfortunately Google only lets you five stars.

This establishment has been the best replacement taphouse I have been at since I have moved to the area. You should get to know the barkeeps. If you treat them well they will treat you well in return. Phenomenal atmosphere and a relaxing place to come unwind!

Cheers 🍻

🍻🍺What a great new ish location for Goldwater brewery. They have a great patio as well as the inside is much larger than their other location. The big bonus is if they actually do have about six TVs and are super dog friendly both inside and out. Make sure to give John the bartender a big elbow bump for me and enjoy the heck out of your drinks Cheers!

Craft Culture Wine and Taproom

This restaurant tap room is very quaint and clean.  Very welcoming upon entering.  Your will notice a few tvs with sports on and a small u shaped bar.  They don't have a huge number of rotating drafts, but just enough for every taste.  I ordered the OG sandwich, their spin on a cubano and it was awesome.  They had 2 West Coast IPAs and they both were very good.  I will be back...

places/ChIJx_6nuIizK4cRukj7qja8g4M/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNmM2RXek9REAE

This is a great local place!  The atmosphere is open and inviting, the rotating beers on tap are always good, and the wine margaritas are also great but beware they do pack a punch!  I haven’t had a ton of their food, but my wife and I split the smashburger, and it was incredible.  They recently started a new brunch menu. Have to say the biscuits and green chili gravey is incredibly good. The croissant with ham, egg. avocado, cheese and spicy aoli was just as good. You have to try out their new brunch menu.

Nikki the bartender is such a fun to hang out with, she is knowledgeable on the available choices, and she remembers what you like and offers suggestions.

The environment is just a fun place to be.  Highly recommended!

Glad we tried it!  Great burger for the value!  Nice menu with reasonable prices so you can enjoy a meal with your drink.
Terrific selection of beers and wines,  All highly rated.   Very friendly staff and great service.
Nice open and bright atmosphere, with a cute patio. Glad it’s in the ‘hood.

I had a fantastic experience at Craft Culture! The smashburger I ordered was absolutely delicious. Solid tap selection with a variety of options to suit any beer enthusiast's palate. If beer isn't your thing, they also offer wine and a well-curated selection of beers and ciders in cans including some NA varities. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back for another round (and another smashburger)! Highly recommend!

It might not look like much from the outside, but the inside is actually a really cool bar. They’ve got a big beer selection, tasty food, and even make a lot of stuff in-house. With TVs showing sports, a jukebox, and a chill local vibe, it’s a great spot worth checking out.

My friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint.  I couldn't settle on a beer and opted for a flight of 6 1 oz tasters (favorite was the Magnaminous). I order3d the Kentucky Bourbon Bowl with hamburger and it was served with a generous portion of greens and a perfectly cooked and sliced burger.  The kitchen was very accommodating by shredding cheddar cheese to take the place of prepped mixed cheeses. Fries were good and salted/peppered perfectly.  You won't be disappointed.  Thank you Tyler for your great service! I'll be back.
