Arizona Wilderness Brewery is hands down the best brewery in my neighborhood and my go-to spot when I want incredible food, outstanding craft beer, and a fun atmosphere. If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite. One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit. Highly recommended! read more

Came back after seeing the soft serve margaritas on all socials--on Mondays they have half off cocktails all day. Made the long drive from Gilbert to see what the hype was about and let me say....that soft serve was WORTH IT! I got the swirl and it was soooooo refreshing and delicious. I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much. read more

FOOD: i got the proper smash but subbed out the wagyu for a regular grass fed patty. i like the option that they have that. i also ordered the fries. the food was decent but nothing special, the fries were seasoned with rosemary as well which wasn't my favorite. the beers here are good and they have lots of promotions SERVICE: nothing crazy, you order at the bar AMBIANCE: casual vibe and relaxed read more

I really loved the vibe here on a weeknight! We visited during the summer, so it was definitely hot, but the outdoor space was great and the misters did their best to keep everyone cool. We came for the soft-serve margaritas, and they did not disappoint! You could definitely taste the tequila without it being overpowering. The onion rings were also fire, and I loved the photo booth inside. The bartenders were super friendly, too. Definitely recommend coming on Mondays when the drinks are half off because you really can't beat that deal! Nothing bad to say about this place. Great drinks, good food, and a fun atmosphere! read more

I love the ambiance and the indoor/outdoor seating options. They prioritize organic and non GMO ingredients. They offer 100% grass fed beef burgers AND a nice vegetarian/vegan menu. Sodas and beverages are organic. Although I don't drink beer, they have plenty craft options. It can get loud between the crowd and music. I had the Organic Earth Bowl - Local Tepary beans, tomatoes, Brussies, sweet potatoes, wheat berries, avocado, golden beets, mixed greens, avocado-tomatillo dressing. read more

Great outdoor/indoor brewery in Phoenix to grab a bite and a beer with friends! I came here on a Saturday afternoon with my boyfriend for some food and drinks. We got a spot on the mostly shaded outdoor patio, which is a very big space with a lot of tables available. It is also dog-friendly, and several people had their dogs out as well. I ordered the Oklazona burger with fries and the rose cider. The rosemary seasoned fries were great, especially with the garlic aoili on the side. Good solid burger that was filling, and the cider was nice and refreshing. It's nice that you can just open a tab for both food and drinks and order from either bar as well as the food counter. It's a nice hangout spot in downtown Phoenix! read more

We came for the soft serve margaritas. They did not disappoint. We all tried the strawberry lime twist served with a flower. They are delicious and beautiful. They also serve craft cocktails and array of specialty brews. They offer in door and outdoor seating. We tried the taco, fries with beer cheese and churros all of which were delicious. Of all the places we went this was the unanimous favorite. read more

Was recommended a must visit if I was in PHX. They had a special Oktoberfest menu that was wonderful. I went with the Bratwurst and homemade chips. So tasty! Great beer as well as a frozen margarita for dessert. Definitely worth trying! read more

Great spot to start on a night out. Big open patio that is dog friendly, misters and fans to keep you cool in the summer. As someone who doesn't drink beer but also hates to spend $15 on a cocktail, this is a great spot for food. The salt and vinegar fried pickles are amazing. Super fluffy batter with delicious sauces. The service is pretty quick, order in the line for food and get drinks at the bar. Shoutout to the girl working the food counter who said I looked like a supermodel, absolutely made my day! read more

I'll be the first to say I'm not big into breweries, or downtown, or breweries in downtown for that matter. However I was pleasantly surprised. I was a little skeptical to be sitting outside since it was almost 90 degrees, but their mister, fans and shade really made a difference. I usually sweat easily but I didn't sweat at all. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. I love that they have a sauce menu, I wanted to try every one of them. This will be a new go to when I find myself in downtown again read more

Update: been over 7 years and I've been back a million times and it is always great food and drinks. Spicy chicken sandwich is on my top 5 list of spicy chicken sandwich in Phoenix. Beers are always cold and tasty. I've never had a single complaint about this place with one exception, sometimes it's PACKED and hard to find a place to sit, but that's how you know a place is good. read more

Pretty good. The portions were decent for the price, although I do feel like it was kinda of expensive. Also, their tipping option is a bit confusing and I think I accidentally tipped a lot more than I intended. Either way, they deserved it cause the entire experience was solid, especially for a mess-hall type of restaurant. Super west coast lol. read more

We are regulars at Wilderness and we love it. Anytime we have friends in town and want to grab a drink or a bite downtown, Wilderness is one of our main go-tos. It's a relaxed atmosphere with seating both indoors and out, dog friendly, fire pits for the evening and misters for when it's hot. Service is always super kind. Love the door man- he's always in a good mood and friendly. We generally get their house made fingers and fries. Their fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with delicious honey mustard. Their fries are fresh with rosemary and sea salt. While it's hard for me to stray from my usual order, I've tried their salads and burgers as well- they never miss. As for drinks, they have really excellent cider and frozen cocktails. I'm not a beer drinker myself, so I really appreciate their variety. They also have nonalcoholic sodas that are super unique flavors including blood orange (my personal favorite). We love Wilderness- definitely the best burgers, fries and chicken on Roosevelt! read more

Cool place to have a drink as long as it's not too crowded. We went on a Saturday night and it was stressful to find a seat for 2 of us since you seat yourself and there are many community tables. I thought the food was just okay, a bit overpriced. The drink selection on tap was good though read more

The food is amazing, as is the atmosphere and service. We went two days in a row and enjoyed the nice weather, trying a burger, chicken sandwich, burrito, tacos, wings, nachos, and a couple of cocktails. Truly, you can't get better than the overall experience. The food is real and tastes good, portions are perfect, bartenders are fantastic, and everyone truly seems like they enjoy their job. I will definitely be back when I return to Phoenix. read more

I love the outdoor seating and the openness of the whole place. The star of all the food was there at tacos actually coming from San Diego. I have a high regard for tacos that are fresh and creative and does not go too far on the fusion. I got the fish taco like Min recommended, and it was perfectly balanced with the crunch of the red onions and the sauce that they had with the crispiness of the fish. The other taco I got was the pork and they had cuts of avocado with their house salsa and overall it was a great mix. One thing that I did not agree with on yelp was the cauliflower appetizer. It was just a little too sauce, heavy on the taste and it wasn't that spicy but more like a sour and salty that left me not wanting more honestly it seems like their burgers are a real hit and I would say they're tacos were amazing. read more

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company in Downtown Phoenix is a great place to bring your fur baby. The restaurant has a lot of open seating both inside and outside. There are two large bars with various locally brewed beers on tap. Many of the beers are by Arizona Wilderness. The outside patio is shaded and does have misters for the hot summer days. The restaurant also have a water station and shared doggy water bowls available for use. On Tuesdays all the tacos on the menu are $4. I got the Pulled Pork and the Beer Battered White Fish. Both were delicious. The restaurant also offers a number of shareable dishes and burgers. Will be coming back to try some of the other items. Bingo had a great time people watching and loves meeting other dogs when he is there. During the weekends this place does get very packed so go early if you want a spot. Bingo definitely approved of this spot. read more

I stopped by Arizona Wilderness DTPHX to meet up with my bestie for an afternoon drink. I was able to grab a table inside and ordered through their QR code menu, which was super easy to use. Once you place your table order the bartender brings it to your table. I ended up with the Frozen Rosé which was actually really refreshing and pretty tasty! They do have outdoor seating with misters, but with temps are hitting 110°, we definitely chose the AC. Just a heads-up: parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly street parking. Overall, a chill spot for a quick drink and catch-up! read more

Great location within the heart of DTPHX! We had a big party there for a friend's going away. A few of us had to come early to save tables so our group could stay somewhat together. We tried to move the tables and chairs together, but the security guy trashed our efforts. Said we couldn't move the tables. The tables had to stay in their original position due to a fire hazard safety. However, chairs can be moved, just not tables! So now you know! They have lots of beer and cider options, but I opted for their rare cocktail. I think it was the prickly pear wilder. Boy, did I pick a good one! It was delish! I can't speak too much about the food, as the only food we got were the tacos (pulled pork, and grilled chicken), and they were not very flavorful so, that was a bust for me! The entire menu was pricey as well for what should be a chill, bar food hangout kinda place. Overall, I enjoyed the spacious patio seating and their wilder cocktail, but there wasn't enough there to keep me coming back! read more

Great place - I definitely recommend! read more

Arizona Wilderness DTPHX - Back patio is great! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came with a collaborator / colleague and met in person for the first time (over zoom previously!). Really enjoyed the fries and the bowl was healthy but helped cut the salt and richness of the fries. The beans also added a decent amount of protein. I wish the bowl wasn't so pricey though. It was definitely a hot day out so I'm glad we were able to eat inside. I think it would be great if the protein addition wasn't so expensive -- or maybe I should have added the fries to the salad bowl. The bar and restaurant vibes were definitely present and they had a pretty expansive menu. Seems like a great place for groups and families as well as for business / lab outings! :) Food did take more than 15 minutes to come out though even though I feel like this should be pretty quick to put together. Could be because it wasn't as busy during lunch? Would have been nicer to have more time to eat and digest my food before needing to run back to make sure I didn't go over my parking time. read more

Solid place we come to time again! There's a drink like. And there's a food line. Or you can scan the QR at your table and order! One of our friends is vegan and one is veggie. And there are always great food options for everyone! And the service is quick. Drink line goes super fast. And the bartenders dont rush you even if there is a long line. They really want you to have a great experience and to love what you drink. They gave us multiple samples and didn't rush me to pick my drink of choice! On this particular Friday night - we went to celebrate one of our girlfriends' birthday! And it didn't disappoint. For drinks - I went with the frozen dream - it's like an alcoholic orange dreamsicle, slushy/frozen style. I had two of them!!! Actually, many people in my group got the same drink. And many others got ciders and wine. Like I said - great variety of drinks! Also, the music was great. Food was great - especially the fries. We had two orders of the fries, cauliflower, and chicken quesadilla! read more

Was passing through town and had to stop back in to break up the monotony of the drive. I've been thinking this place since I was here the last time. I got a flight of palisade peach, a blueberry cider, cactus juice and hibiscus tangelo. All are good but that blueberry has my heart. The guy who helped us with our flight was awesome even though he's left handed (I kid). It was a pretty hot day so we decided to sit inside this time and enjoy some very adult activities such as a very classy game of Guess Who. Grabbed some merch before heading out and can't wait to come back again. Until next time AZ Wilderness. read more

Came here for a late dinner - it was taco Tuesday so all tacos are $4. We had fish taco and chicken taco. The fish taco is very yummy with the slaw and guac but the chicken taco was a bit boring with just the chicken. The sauce was very spicy so just be mindful when you soak your taco in. We also shared a chicken sandwich and it hits the spot. They were also doing tivia night on the Tuesday that we visited so it's a lot more lively than other places. read more

Delicious, environmentally-friendly beers in a fun, laid back atmosphere. Plus, it's dog friendly!

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co has been a favorite for many years. So, this part is a very Integral part of Arizona Wilderness's mission. We are talking farm to table, locally sourced items that taste amazing. Scraps are composted. As a small business, they are passionate about respecting our community and its future. Now, let's talk food. The elote dip a great GF option and in another visit, the elote burger is delicious! Note-chips are NOT fried in separate frier. The burger, the burger of the month has goat cheese, arugula and a strawberry/chiltepin pepper jam. The chiltepin is my new obsession. It is delicious. And is much needed to balance the bold flavors Of the goat cheese and arugula. The not so good: My burger came out with the sauted onions. My waiter was very well versed when I ordered and immediately informed me the onions were not GF. So, the moment I saw them I asked my waiter if it was mistake. He said no and immediately took my plate. Ordinarily this would scare me into not eating at this establishment but by waiter new immediately there was a mistake and this mistake would make me very sick. Errors happen. It's how they are handled. Today, the team took me and my dietary needs very seriously! read more

Four stars for the great beer selection and excellent food. The ordering process loses the 5th star. Standing online and ordering food at one counter and beer at another with wait time at both. Parking is a problem here and I was unhappy to pay $33 to park in the lot across the street. (Minimum 3 hours). I did try ordering from my patio table but the only menu items to order that way were beverages and "shareables" so I had to go inside to order. I was at table Blu1. read more
