Taproom and arcade review. I was so excited it finally opened. I love your beer but hate breweries in strip malls. I arrived at the taproom downtown last night and asked for a flight. Bartender says we don’t do flights. I then asked for a taste of a dark beer. Bartender rudely says we don’t give tastes.I ask him what if I order a pint and don’t like it. He says the brewery is 2 miles away I could go there.If your policy as a craft brewery is “ buyer beware” I don’t think you’ll last long.When my party of 6 arrived, we did leave but only had to cross the street to Desert Eagle where they let me taste the beer before I ordered a pint.

We love this place, great craft beers and food to go with it! Their Meat Candy and chicken wings goes well with the beer. They also have beer flights which gives u a sampler of beers they offer!

I wish they had a location near uptown Phoenix. We were in the mood for beers and burgers. This place definitely hit that spot. I always prefer grass fed beef, and they had unique beers at reasonable prices.

Not too shabby! Their beers are well known around the valley and certainly highlight more unique flavors and variety.That said, the location itself is not much to write home about. Tucked in the back of a strip mall with a chain restaurant kind of feel.So you'll come here for the beer because you like good beer.

We loved this brewery! The beer was amazing, staff was friendly, arcade games were fun and all working. Loved the brass knuckle that the beer flight came in as well as other details like the lights, great atmosphere. They also offer individual can beers to go and growler fills. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend! Cheers!

Dog friendly patio and always friendly staff. They brew my favorite local Belgian, Lolli and prices on drinks very reasonable. Love their green chili mac and cheese!

Update: this palce just keeps getting better. The Beer pairings are out if this world.Menu updated with even better options. This place just don't stop!********Good food and good beer. Meat candy is awesome.Staff is attentive and orders come out fast. Great place to hang out and have some awesome craft beers.

Great beer, great food, and amazing service from just two people running the whole front-of-the-house. The kitchen served cold fries with our delicious sandwiches, but the server quickly corrected that. We'll be back.

I’m not an IPA fan, so the beer choices were a bit limited for me. I did get a flight with Lolli (Belgian Blonde) which turned out to be my favorite. I also tried two lagers (Vamonos, which was like a Corona with lime, pretty tasty!) Rice Krispy Bois (lager like Bud I guess) and Cherry Cordial Stout. Ordered a glass of Lolli with my nachos that were incredible. I tasted my boyfriends Cowboy burger and it was fantastic! I loved the decor, too, and how they carried out the theme with beakers for testing the beer! Service was incredible too! I only wish I could get to like IPAs so I could report back on them too! ?

Good beers, drinks and food. Michael was great at a server/bartender. Get the Chicharrones with pimento cheese.
