Just left Catalyst today for lunch and wow the Catalyst smash burger is the best smash burger i have had in the US other than the White Horse smash burger in New York City - a must have ! read more

The BEST new Brewery and close to home. Every style of beer is as it should be. Lagers, Sours IPAs and even the brown ale (which I don't usually like I love here.) And amazing food located inside at SALT as well! So excited for this local gym it's our go too!! Great Service -Beer- Food all around read more

Great staff and great service as always!! Never had a bad experience and of course the beer is unmatched. They have something for every one read more

Excellent choice for craft beers and great tacos! Big TV's for sports, both indoor and outdoor seating, the staff is friendly and they made some great recommendations while I was there. I'll be back! read more

Star power increases as the beers get better and better and better! Don't believe I've had anything coming out of Phoenix that is any better than their Broadway IPA! read more

Didn't try the food, but the ambiance and atmosphere was great!! Came with a group of friends and it was a perfect setting for us. The music inside isn't loud and overbearing, and outside is nice and is a better spot to be at if you prefer the music to be quieter. The servers were super friendly and helpful! The place was really well kept and there are good amount of seats to be able to relax and have drink! read more

Wow....I have no idea how this place is getting such good reviews.....the food was not good....the beer is mediocre at best. Trying to support local businesses in Tempe, but would not recommend. Go to 100 Mile Brewing company. It is so much better. Even Boondocks and Spokes are better choice. read more

The layout is nice. A good mixture of table, casual seating (couch), outdoor and bar seating. Barkeep friendly and will help with questions on all the beers. I tried several styles with a mixture of reviews from just below average to very good. Wide selection. I always get nervous when there are too many beers on tap. My experience finds this leads to several offerings being below average. That's what I feel is happening here. Definitely will return to find more of the gems that I am sure exist. My advice would to ask for a taster before committing to a full pour and not rely on just the description. With all that said I would recommend stopping by for a pint. read more

First time visit. As a beer enthusiast had high-hopes, but was disappointed. The beers were not true to type. The Belgian Tripel was really sweet. The Stouts were as thick as molasses. The Porter tasted like a Dark Lager. The Doppelbock was a monster, instead of easy drinking. We ordered a few sides that were prepared well. Was hoping for a spot in the league of Goldwater, Wren, or Oro... no luck. read more

10/10. The Beer is as incredible as the Salt kitchen. Every time I go I end up over indulging. Be careful, this place is addictive.

Amazing food, service, and beer. The wings were top notch and the West Coast IPA was spot on. Best beer we have had in the area.

Food has been totally upgraded. Smash burger is a must try! Beer as always amazing!!

Friendly staff and delish beers. The selection was amazing. The Manager, Kraig, was welcoming. The patio seating was just right. Definitely recommend!! read more

Great beer selection and amazing food at SALT! Super clean, friendly and a great dog friendly patio.

Catalyst is a hidden gem in Tempe! S.A.L.T. Tacos inside provide delicious food options to complement the delicious craft beer.

Excellent ambiance, killer beers, and some super unique seltzers including some wine grape seltzer blends and some really interesting concepts. And they had great customer service. The beertender went out of his way to let me try some of the beers that I hadn't chosen that he thought I would like after talking to him for a bit. And ya know what, it worked because I ended up buying some bottles that I didn't know he had. I'm coming back here for sure. And the fact that they're a new brewery and making such killer beer is a good sign for their future. Oh also the tacos are bomb, especially the fish tacos! Definitely worth checking out. read more

Catalyst Crafted Ales - Fish tacos and beers! - Breweries Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Came here for the first time tonight. They are still getting going, but have a solid brewing pedigree and some excellent beers already going. Really upping the seltzer game in the Valley with Purple Haze-AMAZING; and the Brunchmaster and Atrox were solid as well. Paired with EXCELLENT food from SALT and this place is going to be lit. FANTASTIC Patio for 4 legged friends. Alex was super helpful and took great care of us. Will be coming back! read more

Always great service and great beer and seltzer selection. Catalyst seltzers - Mango in particular- are excellent. Nice size patio too.

We stopped by for beer and lunch at Salt. Outside and inside bar, great beers, seltzers, wine. 27 on tap, good selection, cans available for purchase. Great service both at the bar and Salt. A couple of TV's on, no sound, great music on.. purple rain is so yummy! Beer, tacos and Sunday football, can't go wrong! Nice job! Stop by and support local!! read more

Excellent beer and ambiance. Knowledgeable bar tender. Some of the best beer I've had. I wish they were in Iowa.

Very nice place! Newly opened. Very nice venue, nice inside and outside seating. Food on site; S. A. L. T. ( sea and land tacos). Outstanding tacos, reasonable prices. Nice venue to visit. No additional entertainment at this time - newly opened- but plans are in the works. TVS ate throughout the location, placed in good spots. Will be back for sure. read more

Loved the IPA's and there are many choices! Small, but good ambiance! There is a place next door that sells yummy tacos and will bring to you! read more

Some of the best IPAs and New England IPAs I've ever had. I was too busy trying beers and didn't get to try the food.

Wow! Wasn't expecting the selection.. got a flight as soon as we sat down and loved every beer! Highly recommend the seltzers as well. Looking forward to going back for some of the limited batches. Food was awesome as well! Octopus Quesadillas?!?! Delicious! Great service and super cool ambiance with the tanks out in the open. read more

Came here after a 15mile mountain bike ride; very technical day on the boulders invites a cold beverage with vapor pressure. Catalyst hits the spot! My bike buddies are as diverse in their beer tastes as they are in their hometown states and this place makes them all happy. Cider IPA ales sours; and we took a food detour with octopus tacos from SALT which was a first for me and quite delish. Both indoor and outdoor seating is amenable for group interaction ranging from families; swank rednecks in remission who occasionally curse like sailors; and my high mileage roadie friends who are missing a few teeth and sometimes spray when they lisp their s's. The tables are spread nice so none are offend or saliva stricken and no social bubble is burst yet suds and stories are swapped by all and we have a great time. The puppy friendly front porch allows fellow diners to volunteer interaction with a furry friend to pet and dote upon. I'll be back to this place. It's cool; food and beverage dispensed by independent business in the same space who mind their craft with excellence, you will not be disappointed. read more

Awesome Beer!!! Great taste and flavor and the atmosphere is amazing. Great variety. My husband and I are from the East Bay in California and it's hard to find a a great variety. Definitely worth a visit or two or three. read more
