I’m convinced that this is the single best growler bar in PHX, and it’s top 5 one of my favorite places to drink beer. The tap list is ALWAYS full of amazing beers, and the service is top notch. Plan to check this place out if you’re traveling, and if you live there and can visit often, I’m a little jealous.

This place had some really good sours but their pricing and pour of beers was ridiculous. Spent quite a bit of money for some beers that didn't seem like they should be that expensive.

Super cute little brewery. Absolutely huge selection of beers, really something for everyone. They have a front and back patio as well as lots of seating inside. They do fun pop up food events as well.

Awesome beer selection. Parking is a little tight so you may have to park in adjacent areas but it's worth it.

Came out for some sour beers. I had 3 different sours which were all amazing. The service is great. The servers were both down to Earth and helpful/knowledgeable. The music is old school funk and hip hop which to me is timeless and fits any occasion. I noticed the bartenders were cleaning everything in site and or working on updating the menu. I feel a lot of pride and attention to detail which I appreciate. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some good beer and good bartenders to talk to. Place is clean as hell to boot. Thanks :)

You guys need to change your bathroom locks. I used the bathroom twice while I was here and got "walked-in-on" both times. Ridiculous. I dont feel comfortable drinking here. It happened to my friend as well when we were here another time.Reply to Michael G: Yeah no problem man, nothing better than a lock malfunctioning so I flash my meat in front of another female customer. Get those locks checked buddy. There's definitely an issue with them

Excellent selection of beers on tap and even more bottles and cans in their fridge. Very nice and warm atmosphere with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Lots of games available to play while enjoying a beer. Definitely recommend.

We came here the other day during happy hour. They have a something like 47 beers on tap. You'll definitely find something you'll like. They have a relaxed atmosphere. Where we sat at the bar made it difficult to read the board and the bartender showed us a QR code that linked us to all the offerings. Although, he failed to mention some were not available for happy hour pricing. We each had 2 before we found out. We hadn't eaten yet and decided to take advantage of the food truck that was set up outside. It was Sink or Swim, we both had the carne tacos that were stuffed with meat. The guy brought them right to us when they were ready. He even checked on us to make sure we liked them and didn't need anything else. I would definitely recommend! We had opened a tab at the bar and we needed our card back to order the food. The bartender closed us out. We noticed we didn't get happy hour pricing and when we asked, that is when he informed us that we chose beers that weren't apart of happy hour. That's unfortunate and we chose to not have more. We will probably return at some point because they have so much to choose from. If we come during happy hour, we will be a little better with our choices now that we know.

Really fun place. Went meet a friend who is a regular here and loved it. All the staff was decent and being that it wasn't super busy I didn't have to wait to get my drink. Loved the fridge with cans, I found many delicious new beers to try. Parking lot is very small, that was the only problem. Next time I will try some fresh pizza made right outside or one of the food trucks.
