13 Best Pubs in Tempe

“A local owned gem that includes a fantastic bar with a ton of cocktail choices that met our expectations. After our cocktails we completed the tour & spirit tasting with the founder and lead distiller Jason who provided the group with so many details and how a small distillery operates. Located on Main Street in Mesa, AZ in a historic building that is spotless and welcoming completes the whole experience. Earning multiple awards at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition sets this small business above so many others. Visit them and follow their social media pages for additional information.“

“Goldwater Crossing is my local and I usually visit weekly. Such a great vibe. Family friendly. Usually one or more good dogs hanging out. And the beer is great. The bar staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. It's not a restaurant, but you can bring food and there is often a food truck just outside.“

“This place is a gem! Loved the relaxed atmosphere! We went there for the first time while visiting Tempe. Very easy vibe from the employees! Very welcoming and even brought our puppy some ice water on the patio! Our waiter was very friendly and efficient! The bartender and some patrons were also very nice to talk with!

The fish and chips were LEGIT!“

“I went yesterday to the downtown Glendale location and I have the cream of mushroom soup and bread and it was amazing. The people are friendly. Jesus the co-owner and manager made my experience. Very delightful. I got to watch the thing be built and there are some amazing people working there I highly suggest this place“

“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.“

“We went to Four Peaks Brewing to try their beer, and I absolutely loved their beer selection! 🍺 I tried the seasonal Grapefruit Hop Knob and the Oatmeal Stout, and both were great.

As for the food, the wings were just okay, but the Salmon BLT was amazing! The Brezelburger was also just okay, while the kids really enjoyed the fish and chips.

The sauces were okay, they were very runny and could definitely use more flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed the beer selection and the Salmon BLT was definitely a highlight!“

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