13 Best Pubs in Tempe

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Found Boulders Bar & Grill on FB and Mom and I had the tried and true cheeseburger. From the first bite it delicious and the cross cut fries were the best. Will happily return in the future“
