“We have been unimpressed with food since we have moved here. In Gilbert everything tried to be eclectic or unique.... some good... most bad. The Mexican food in this area is junk... I needed a cheap dive for sports with piles of fried tots and this is it. Food was trashy and excellent. Bill was half what I'd spend at most places and the service was friendly. We went in the side entrance and my wife almost made me leave because smokers on the patio, and it felt like it had a clique group. Nah, we had our 1 yo, 3 yo and 9yo with us and even the other regulars made us feel welcome. it's a bit of a drive for us but I'm glad I tried it“

“Walked in, it was very dark but it's summer. It was dark, cool and pretty great environment. The cocktails are handcrafted but they are not pretentious. This is a casual and fun environment, they are incredibly friendly, our Mixologist was Kalo and he was awesome. I love this place, I recommend this place for a first date, after work cocktail or anytime. Amazing!“

“great beer, great bands, great employees/management, it's all great. Love it here!“

“I was very impressed with the unique offerings at this quaint, out of the way eatery; the menu appears to have something for just about everyone. We stopped by for lunch this week which was the first visit for both of us. I ordered one of the Vegan options and my lunch companion ordered the new French Dip, both dishes were exceptional and the service could not have been better. Of all the new restaurant finds I have come across over the past few years, this place tops my list. Looking forward to my next visit, there are so many unique menu options I am eager to try!“

“I love Goldwater! I’m super bummed that I moved, so I’m not as close anymore, but whenever I’m in the area or just craving a great beer, I always make my way back to one of my favorite spots. The place is clean, dog-friendly, and has an awesome vibe. John, Tim, and Jimmy always deliver top-tier service and great conversation.

If you’re new to the area or just looking for somewhere new to check out, I definitely recommend stopping by Goldwater in Tempe.

P.S. They don’t serve food, but there are tons of nearby spots where you can grab takeout and enjoy it with your drink at Goldwater!“

“Great bar and welcoming staff!“

“Great wine and beer selection. Friendly bartenders. You can bring in outside food or have your favorites delivered.“

“We recently moved to Tempe and this has become our favorite place to chill. My partner is vegetarian and has found some great options she really enjoys. For being a bar, the food is surprisingly good! I personally love being outside so this place nails it for me.“

“very friendly and welcoming lodge“

“I love going to the Cornish Pasty Co any chance I get. It was a favorite when I lived in the East Valley. All of the pasties are delicious. But make sure to save room for the caramel apple pasty, I promise you won't regret it! I only disappointment is that they don't have a far West Valley location. I miss them living in Surprise.“

“Amazing day this place is a great neighborhood find for football, great drinks and awesome food, the regulars are nice and welcoming. You should come check it out! We will definitely be back!“

“This place is awesome! Friendly service, great selection of kegs...“

“We are in town from Washington and have nothing but great things to say about Thirsty Lion. We went in for happy hour and bought 5 appetizers ( fried spicy cauliflower was our fav) . Multiple drinks. The waitress Karlie was a huge highlight of our visit, very friendly and knowledgeable. Never an empty drink or dirty plate on the table. You could tell she enjoys her job. We will be back whenever we are in town.“

“They took such good care of us. It was a great night for patio seating, but we were also happy when they turned on the outside heater for my mom. We were so impressed when our food arrived that I asked to take the server's pic. Wow! How does he do that?! And the food was great!“

“Beer. Glorious beer. Also. Cards against humanity.“

“Pub Rock is a KC Chiefs bar, but they are so friendly and accommodating, that I (a HUGH Buffalo Bills fan ❤️🦬💙) have made this my local spot to come for Happy Hours, Karaoke, and even NFL games. Such a fun crowd of people and awesome live music during the week and in the weekends.“

“They have the best tombstone pizza ever!! With pretty bartenders that provide awesome service.“

“Best Fryed pickles around, by the spear not chip! Great brews including Alaska Amber and Joy Bus Wow, terrific service as always and live music tonight.“

“Great atmosphere, great drinks… friendly and welcoming staff“

“SanTan Brewing Company – 8 S San Marcos Pl, Chandler, AZ 85225

I had an exceptional experience at SanTan Brewing Company that went far beyond great food and service. Not only is their pizza consistently outstanding, but the entire staff demonstrates a level of professionalism and warmth that truly stands out.

I recently faced a complex financial issue, and the team handled it with remarkable care. The manager who worked with me approached the situation with genuine empathy, clear communication, and impressive professionalism. It was obvious she was operating in her element—confident, capable, and sincerely committed to doing right by her guests. Her support turned a stressful moment into a positive, memorable interaction.

SanTan has earned my gratitude and my loyalty. I’ll be back extremely soon, and I’m thankful for the way they treat their customers with both respect and heart.

“Went to Goodwood, bald bouncer, I think Jeff checking IDS at the door with a beard indicated I had an attitude, he grab my arm and pulled me out of line and then proceeded to put both hands on my shoulders and pushed me. When is it EVER right for a man to put his hands on a woman in such an aggressive way, especially for no reason. Girls, and moms and dads of girls beware, this is a women's worse nightmare, no regard and very aggressive. This is alarming and very disturbing. I have never in my 52 years had a man treat me this aggressively. I plan to file a complaint with the PD, this man is dangerous to women Aggressive bouncer, read more reviews on Yelp. This guy and establishment has no regard for woman, he is a ticking time bomb, all WOMEN watch out for this guy, he had no problem assaulting me.“
