Brittany was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of us—super sweet, personable, and attentive from start to finish. 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. Everything was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back again—loved, loved, loved this place!

Love this place!   All of their bees are unique and have so much character.  Not your average brewery or beer.   The Wy Abbo is one of my favs!   Definitely five stars for the brews, and the friendly service - everytime!

We stopped by Desert Monk Brewery while visiting from out of town, and we were blown away by the service! Brieauna and Christi went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — like we were regulars. Their energy was friendly, genuine, and made our experience unforgettable. Great beer, even better people. Highly recommend this place, especially if you're lucky enough to be served by Brieauna and Christi!

Wow!
This place has really upped their game lately!
Our bartender Hailee not only was incredible knowledgeable but she was attentive! Nowadays this kind of service in our obsolete.
The seltzers have been so refreshing and perfect for summer!
Thank you Desert Monks for being a great community staple!

Very cute location, a little off the beaten path. We both had the IPA and it was delicious. Our server/bartender was very friendly, super nice, and we had a great conversation with her since the place wasn't that full. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Huge patio and dog friendly, they even keep a pint of treats inside to bring back out to your pup. Great beers and good food with helpful and attentive staff.

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!

The Ultimate Hombre and Visualization beers I tried were delicious. Wonderful food  and staff.  Can't wait to visit again.

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!!

places/ChIJhXEDoycJK4cR-xuXe78rMuo/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VNUC00ZW1Gd2NMQ2FREAE

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!

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.

places/ChIJR_m_xzOoK4cRD8uEWOtYiKs/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURfa3VIRld3EAE

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.

Incredible beer, super cool atmosphere and outstanding service. Birthday Suit IPA is easily one of the best West Coast IPAs I've had in a long time. Merchandise is classy and high quality too. I'll be coming back for sure!

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.

places/ChIJO3MP3QilK4cRAOIkH_1qTHg/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJbnB5c3ZBRRAB

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!

Amazing local brewery! Great beer selection and this location features a spacious patio for enjoying some suds. Although there isn’t food service here, there are lots of available food choices nearby that you can bring in. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about beer. Highly recommended!

The food and service were great.  Cailey was attentive and very pleasant.  We had brunch and cocktails both were amazing.  I absolutely LOVE the Bloody Mary with spicy beef jerky.  The breakfast bowl and chicken and waffles were both top notch.  I love the dog friendly menu and atmosphere.  Thank you for the great experience today.

⭐️ 0 Stars – OhSo Awkward, OhSo Loud, OhSo Never Again

If I could give OhSo Restaurant in Gilbert zero stars, I would. Not only was the service awful and the food disappointing, but they somehow managed to provide the most awkward dining setup in existence.

Our table? Oh, you mean the two separate slabs of wood pretending to be a table? Yeah, they were basically two giant 2x12s, six feet long, with a TWO-FOOT GAP in between. We were sitting so far apart it felt like we were having dinner in separate time zones. Want to pass the ketchup? Better have a wingspan like an NBA player.

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, our lovely “table” was positioned directly under the speaker, which was blasting music at full volume. Every conversation turned into a screaming match just to be heard over whatever playlist they stole from a Vegas nightclub.

Service? What service? After dropping off our appetizers, our waiter completely forgot we existed. We had to flag him down just to place our orders, and when our burgers finally arrived, they were basically raw despite being ordered well done. When I tried to tell him, he got defensive because I was “yelling”—as if I had any other option with the music shaking the walls.

Spoke to the manager, who couldn’t have cared less. They comped the inedible burgers but still charged us full price for appetizers and drinks, as if we had actually enjoyed anything about this nightmare meal.

OhSo? More like OhHellNo. If you enjoy bad service, undercooked food, and dining at a table designed by a deranged lumberjack, this is the place for you. Otherwise, steer clear.

My fave spot in downtown Gilbert! I absolutely love how dog and family friendly it is. We visit here regularly with our kids, our pup or just on date nights. They have amazing cocktails and make their own beers and spirits. Their happy hour specials are so affordable, tons of tasty cheap eats and drinks on special. It’s a great place to watch games and they have movie nights in “the park” area. My only complaint is they don’t have Sunday ticket during football season and we often end up leaving to go elsewhere to see our favorite teams play.

We were visiting family. My nephew moved to Gilbert. We thought we’d tried OHSO. We are so glad we decided to try it. We will be back. The ambiance is perfect. Nice set up and best part they allow dogs. So cool. Food was delicious. Dessert - apple pie was so good. Great happy hour.  The service was quick & fast.

This brewery is one of the best places in the neighborhood. The  accommodations are excellent: both at the tables and both bars! The staff is exceptional and  'real good lookin! ' ☺️ This is my favorite brewery!!!

places/ChIJ3desZ-MJK4cR-q38XtxjMVc/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VQbXY1Y2l0Ny1IdzRRRRAB

This place is tucked behind the Highway 202 backdrop — so wild that you don’t hear it at all, which is awesome — and it has a cool vibe right by Tempe Town Lake. Love the indoor/outdoor open concept — it gives off a sprawling, open-flow feel.

We were seated and shortly after were snacking on some delicious beer-battered cheese curds served with chipotle aioli, along with some carefully curated cold brews. The Hundred Mile double smash burger really hit the spot. My wife enjoyed the patty melt, which also featured two smash patties but was served on toasted rustic bread. Our friends went with the blackened chicken wraps and loved them.

We also had a fun and informative tour of the brewhouse with Nick — he’s super knowledgeable and passionate. The staff were all incredibly friendly. The parking was well laid out and easy to navigate.

All in all, we had a great experience. Saluti!

Atmosphere and service was great.  I only tried 2 beers and they were kind of average, maybe slightly above, nothing that stood out but not bad either.

I had their 100 mile burger and I'll just say that it had good elements, I was disappointed that it continues the "smash burger" trend of not really being a true smash burger.  No lacing and honestly part of the side looked like they still used either a puck or cylinder to contain it.  The burger meat itself was good and had good cheese content.

My concern was more about the sweetness.  I don't want to detract too much because maybe some people really like a sweet flavor on a burger, but it was too ketchup heavy.  If you've had burgers fried in mustard maybe this makes more sense, but this tasted like a generic unspiced bbq sauce based burger that only the pickles really made it finishable.   Way too sweet in my opinion.  I imagine kids and people who prefer mainly ketchup on their hotdogs would like this more than me.

That said, the size was good (thankfully for the price). and the fries were excellent.  Interesting seasoning that I enjoyed, but it definitely has something like cumin for those who aren't into that.  But they had a great texture, fried well.

I liked that the menu had some non-normal pubfare, which makes it easier to bring someone who doesn't just want a standard brewery food offering.  Like spaghetti and meatballs, good salad options, etc.  This adds to the atmosphere, which to explain more I liked how open and clean it felt.

I'd definitely enjoy coming back here again to try some of their other food.  I complained a bit about the burger but it wasn't bad, just not my style - other than perpetuating the smashburger falsehood that maybe I personally just need to reconsider my own understanding of.

I'll try more of their beer next time, as it is a brewery first, but hope I just had some of their mediocre brews and missed their standouts

Hosted my networking group at Hundred Mile Brewing Company and it was a huge success. Sue and Brandi we're easy to work with, the space is perfect for a larger group, the drinks and food were yummy and service was on point. If you're looking to host an event, this is a place to go! We got a lot of great feedback from everyone who attended.

Amazing IPAs but service was mixed. Some staff members were super friendly while others clearly didn't want to be there.

Additionally, there was a really strange food menu for Sundays that was very disappointing - almost like carnival food. Maybe avoid on the weekend.
