I love breweries. This is one of the best I’ve been to. From the nostalgic retro video game theme with the thought out graphic design of the interior and cans/bottles to the delicious meticulously crafted original flavors of the beers, it’s a unique experience I highly recommend. There’s arcade games and table top games to play with a group and there’s bar seating. Try flights of their originals and take your favorites home in growlers/bottles/cans. Eat from their limited food selection or bring your own food/have it delivered (which is encouraged and allowed). The experience is excellent. The icing on the cake is the owners will chat with you about their love of retro video games and the art and science of beer crafting. Cheers!

This place is great! Craft brews full of flavor! With retro style!

The only reason I don't give 5stars is because I want it to stay open later, on weekends at least. The brews are amazing! My favorite right now is the princess peach!

The ambiance brings a nostalgic look and feel to your experience. The service is top notch and provided by the upmost souther hospitality from either the owners, or my boy Josh! You can order food from across the way, bring your own, or have an amazing panini that they provide. The video game "8-bit" music playlist of your favorite songs is my favorite! Amazing beer, and that's not just the perk!

By far my most favorite West valley brewery. It is probably my most favorite phx metro brewery however my lack of significant time spent in the east side breweries results in a limited bias. "West is best" bias or not, this place is fantastic. The seasonal fall and winter imperial stouts are always amazing. I have the winter imperial stout release date ALWAYS saved to my calendar. Support this small business, I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

This place ROCKS!!! The gaming scene is my fave. I love the feel of this place. Ryan and Kristina are freaking rock stars that make this place wonderful. The service is on point. Family Owned has never been real. This husband and wife duo is AMAZING. If you are in the area swing by, you will not be disappointed.

Love it here. It's a great place with great beer and a fun atmosphere. The flagship beers are all very good, and there's a continuous rotation of new and experimental beers to keep things interesting.

I love this place!! It’s always fun to come check out the new craft beer selections. The owners are so nice every time. I’m so happy they’re in my neighborhood, I only wish I would have visited them sooner!

Awesome, unique atmosphere. Owners and staff obviously care about the the business, as well as the environment they are creating. Great beer, great events. Always recommend for anyone looking for a place to grab a beer and board or old school video games.
They always have great beer on tap and are always nice. Plus you can play classic video games with friends. Hidden gem!

As a huge Nintendo nerd, this place stole my heart as well as my tastebuds with delicious beer! Highly recommend for a date night - if playing vintage video games and drinking beer are up your alley!

The only bad thing about this brewery is that it’s not smack in the middle of a community where people can walk there every night.Novel and delicious beers by a brewer with creativity that is only curbed by making beers that actually taste good. He has physically put entire red velvet cakes into a brew, chocolate pudding with the best chub ever (?), and many more, but the beers only get tapped if they pass a stringent taste test.The atmosphere is novel; Nintendo eight bit themed, and fun with a whole host of regulars because the beer is that good.If you find yourself in the Phoenix metro. This is a Brewery worth making it out to.

My partner and I stopped in for a date night. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming and the bartender Krystina was incredibly helpful. Our beers were delicious (we ended up buying a couple of both the White and Black Mages to take home). We had a great time learning a new game and having some good drinks. We'll definitely be back again!

Really awesome place to play games and beers were good. Most of the beers seem to be IPA centric. Wish they had some lighter style beers.They have a lot of cool merchandise for sale too. Unfortunately the Zelda themed growler can only be obtained through their loyalty program. Seriously? Locking your merchandise I would have happily paid a premium for behind what seems like a paywall? Oh well, I guess that adds to their video game theme ??♂️
