Cactus Taproom Craft Beer & Wine Bar - Bottle Shop

I once held this place in high regard, but that’s no longer the case. The personable and knowledgeable staff who helped set this place apart have all moved on and the beer selection has taken a noticeable step backwards (Lumberyard, Ska, SanTan seem to disappointingly be the standard now). The entire experience and vibe has declined drastically. The music selection has been disappointing during my recent visits when I previously loved the music they would play here. Now it feels like I’ve joined a drum circle with the nonstop reggae. I also would suggest refraining from sitting on the patio as the pillows and cushions are grimy, stained, and covered with dog hair. This was once one of my favorite hidden gems and genuinely wanted to keep supporting a small business and previously had loved this place, but due to these changes I no longer look forward to returning.

Love this little place and the chill vibe. The music is great the beer choices are fantastic and the regular customers are very welcoming.

This place is a complete rip off and the woman was stealing money from us.

4 of us walk into this establishment wanting to have good local craft beers. My wife and I are on vacation.

First red flag was I wanted to taste a hefeweisen they had on tap. I told the bartender (50 yoa WF) that I absolutely hate IPA. She pours a taster and gives it to me. This was gross and could tell it was not a hefe. She laughed and said it was their IPA. Why would you ever give someone something without them knowing.

Each of us grabbed a beer from the bartender and were having a good time. Our driver departed, and the remaining three of us stayed already planning to uber home. We purchased shirts and souvenirs, and then decided we were not going to have any more beers. We all had had a total of one beer. We told the bartender that we were going to get an Uber home, and she was fine with that. We purchased our beers and tipped well. We purchased shirts and tipped well. We then bought additional four-packs of beer for home and tipped well again.
The bartender waited until we had completely cashed out and then cut us off. She cut off the two women but not me. She claimed it was for safety reasons. I explained that we had already arranged a ride, so there were no safety concerns and asked why we were being cut off. She would not provide a clear explanation and was completely rude and unprofessional.
We requested a refund for all of our purchases, including the unconsumed beer, the shirts, and everything else we had purchased, but our request was denied. This was completely unnecessary and her stating it was safety is crazy because one beer each is not enough to get anyone intoxicated to the point we needed to be cut off. The fact that she waited until all the purchases was completed and then she cut us off and told us that we cannot purchase our second beverage is completely ridiculous. At no point would we have supported this small business if we were going we’re going to be treated this way. Wanted to post something as references before I went to nextdoor and neighbor bee and all the other apps. I’m on vacation so I’ll review when I get

This is a nice taproom with ample choices of your favorite brew. I tried the hefe moon bay and psuedo ale, if that's not your cup of tea there is 16 on draft and plenty more in cans. There is a nice patio with mist too. Inside is a break from the heat and you can catch your favorite game while enjoying your drink.

Great beers as well as ciders and wines. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. You can order food from Lucky's Pizza or bring your own.

Welcoming environment in a quiet part of town. They have one of the most unique and diverse beer selection I've seen in Arizona. Definitely a hidden gem 💎. I recommend checking this place out if you have the chance.

Their fridge is fantastic. This is for me the best beer selection in the West valley, with local beers and from other States as well. You can bring your food and it is a very cool atmosphere to enjoy one drink but it can become very lively if there is a good match on screen ! Go there to grab some cans or stay and enjoy a good glass of wine/beer.

We went looking to purchase hard cider to bring home. They had a decent selection. Would like more local varieties of cider.

Always an amazing beer list with many different kinds from dark to light bitter to not with usually some new and near coder options. Always have great service and literally the cleanest/largest bathroom ever!!! Amazing place gotta give it a try you won't be disappointed.
