Great little hidden gem. I say hidden but this place gets lit. All local, relevant, and amazing variety. This place is such a fun vibe. Great to start the new downtown Mesa brewery scene or even to come hang out for a couple beers. No kitchen but usually have a cup of food trucks in the area and allow you to bring in food. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

The ambiance/ vibe here is great. The bartender was a one man show and very nice They don't serve food but there is a food truck that had some great tacos. It's a friendly dog place as they have a nice outdoor patio with misters. read more

Mom and I stopped in here for happy hour recently. As many times as I frequent downtown Mesa, this was my first time into Chupacabra. The bartender was super friendly and came out to our table to take our order instead of waiting for us to come to the bar. We had a few local beers and enjoyed some snacks we had brought into the bar with our beers. Definitely adding this spot to the list for beers in Mesa. read more

Great selection of beers and wines. Bartenders definitely knowledgeable and attentive. The food menu is from the food truck parked outside. From all the people I saw eating pizza, it must be good. I mean everyone had a pizza box except me! But nevertheless, it was a dope vibe and If I lived in mesa, I'd be here all the time! Come check them out!! read more

Visiting Mesa, and went out with some friends. So I personally hated the sour beer I had, and nothing else on the menu looked appealing but I'm picky. Being DD tho, all for the better. ANYWAYS, staff was super friendly and remembers names quick lol. All my friends loved their beers, the atmosphere was super chill even though it was very busy. You can drink inside which is a bit small, or go out and drink on the huge patio with lots of seating. Also had a food vendor outside who had some great food. Even tho "I" didn't like the selection, I'd still highly recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys craft beers (just not sours lol) read more

You don't want to go here. Trey and team are really not that amazing. The beer options are few. The environment is quiet and full. You don't want to go and eat from the food truck or other nearby places. See, if I convince people not to go I can keep this place all to myself--me and the friends who have made this a home away from home. I can't get my husband to stop buying their merch or making pit stops when he should be doing chores. Seriously, though. It's amazing. And I don't even drink that much. read more

Great selection of beers. Something for every taste and interest. We sat ourselves on the outdoor tables and what a great vibe. It's obvious the locals hang out here but what a great endorsement! Everyone was having a good time and enjoying themselves. read more

Pros Great Environment Great Friends Great Conversation Great Drinks Vibesssss Family Friendly (I've taken my kids there on sunday afternoon) Cons I really have nothing bad to say about my favorite bar. I've met so many awesome people there and I do feel like a Chupacabra local.. read more

Such a rad new taproom! We don't usually come over to this area due to it being far from home but we were wandering around for a beer and happened upon this place. Boy, it is SMALL! There isn't much seating inside but luckily you have the outside as well. There was a food truck available which we loved the idea, I wasn't very impressed with a couple of the beers I had, they tasted watered down and kind of like nothing. Chupacabra doesn't brew their own I don't think, so I'm assuming it's just the keg they got (hopefully). The staff are super friendly, I loved the decorations inside and the logo. They have a ton of beers so there's something for every one. The best one we had when coming here was an 11% from a brewery in Auburn (we're actually from this area). We met a couple people and enjoyed the environment. However the music was extremely loud, and it was hard to carry a conversation without repeating yourself. Would definitely return and recommend trying out! I think they said they've only been open for two or three months. Would highly recommend! read more

We had some wine and a cheese board. Great service and a good time for sure. Enjoyed everything about our visit.

It was my first time out in downtown Mesa and did a little bit of bar hopping on a Sunday evening. Although most places closed early, this one stayed opened longer. Our bartender was very friendly and helpful when choosing a beer. They have a wide selection to choose from and an indoor/outdoor seating area. It's really a super nice place to chill and enjoy AZ's night weather. read more

One of coolest places in DT Mesa. It's a great little brick house taproom. They have a sweet selection of brews! Everyone their is beyond nice and more than knowledgeable about their products. Great music, drinks, and staff. The inside can get a little cramped but they have more seating outside on patio tables! Check out DT Mesa and make sure to go here and get some drinks! read more

This taproom is a nice new addition to downtown Mesa. There are a couple breweries and a cider place nearby but these guys have beer on tap and cans from a variety of breweries both in state and out of state. There's a relatively small bar and a few tables. Also plenty of TVs. I got a seat at the bar and the service was friendly. I enjoyed my Hoof Hearted IPA although I wish the can was slightly colder. On Tuesday they were also having a trivia contest which was kind of fun. read more

Chupacabra Taproom - Beer Bar Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

My favorite spot in Mesa to relax and enjoy a beer! However, they really need to get their AMI music system working. I'm used to the alternative music and ambiance, but during my last couple of visits, it has been out of service. As a result, they seem to be relying on some random pop music that's okay but actually makes me want to leave sooner than I normally would. I wish they would bring back that old aesthetic--grungy yet with the ability to choose your own music on the updated jukebox. We love this place, but we really miss the old music vibes! read more

This is a great quaint bar. Great beer options from IPA's to sours. They have a killer happy hour pricing. Will be back with friends. read more

One of my favorite places. The staff is amazing, beer is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful

Stopped in for a beer last week and am really glad we did! We were looking for a place to have a drink and happened to see the sign for the Chupacabra Taproom while driving down Main Street in Mesa. It is a nice place with tons of beer on tap! I stick with lagers or pilsners and the one I had was great! The bartender was also really nice! Will stop back by next time I'm in Mesa! read more

Very cute spot! I've been told to mention "my beer-snob husband loves the selection" I am not much of a beer-drinker myself but as a pickle lover I did sample the Spicy Pickle Monster & thoroughly enjoyed my full 10oz Excelsior Imperial Pineapple. Hubs enjoyed a 5oz Lagoon Lurker & full 10oz FV9 Also, the bathroom is awesome. Clean, cute, good TP & fancy soap read more

I finally walked in on a Sunday evening, after seeing their signs out for months. They have a great variety of beers, clearly described on a large screen above the tap row and in print. The interior uses the exposed brick walls and old wood ceiling effectively for a very clean, minimalist look. The bar seats about 16, with two hightops and a couple other tables inside. They also have plenty of outdoor seating, with sturdy wood picnic benches. Prices are reasonable. Service is great. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly. read more

We like Chupacabra. Last season our kids practiced hockey nearby at the ice rink, and we would run over to Chupacabra for a quick craft beer. Did this several times. Friendly staff. Cold beers. Chill vibe. It's what we were looking for. read more

One of the best taprooms for craft beer in the valley. Excellent, diverse selection with around 50 handles. Friendly, unpretentious service and casual atmosphere with exposed-brick walls. The space is small but they have lots of seating both inside and outside on their large streetfront patio. No food, but there's usually a food truck outside. read more

I stopped in here on my way out of downtown Mesa. I didn't have anything to drink but the menu did have some legit options. Ambiance inside is great for a taproom and there is also a patio that gets afternoon shade in the summer. read more

Cool setting inside the old brick building. Good service and nice atmosphere, everyone was having a good time.

Always a great selection of beer and friendly bar tenders. Also a cool little location with a great vibe.

Service was wonderful and had a ton of beer selections. Was a low-key atmosphere. -Cassie

What a great little neighborhood brewery. They have a great selection of beers so no matter what you prefer - they have a beer for you. Chris was our bartender - super friendly and accommodating. They are complying with social distancing and made sure everyone was sitting 6 feet apart. Great spot to stop if you want o get out of the house and enjoy a great beer. read more

Chupacabra Taproom - Hats off to the team at Chupacabra Taproom - Beer Bar Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Having moved from Washington state and lived in Arizona for about a year, this is the first taproom I've gone to out of many that felt like home! Even down to the numerous IPA choices and lumberjack facial hair. The drive out to Mesa and limited parking is definitely worth it for this place. They've had about 28 rotating beers on tap the few times I've gone and they've all been solid choices. The hardest part is deciding which ones (or three) that you want to drink. Happy hour pricing is great and I love the small events they put on, like pint glass giveaways for IPA Day and watercolor painting. There's usually a food truck outside too, if you're hungry. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up having to move to a bigger space because this place is always packed. Cheers! read more

You can't go wrong with this place. Good music, good vibes, great brews and even better staff. Insanely attentive and welcoming. Not even 30 seconds sitting down, waiting for my wife and her best friend to grab a beer, one of the beer-tenders came over and asked if I needed anything. I mentioned I was the DD for the night. He offered me a Jones soda and competed it for taking care of my ladies. Gentlemanly and kind. Ill be back to spend money here gents. Cheers PS - My wife is very impressed with your T.P selection. Don't change . read more

Trent and Eric have cultivated one of the best taprooms in the valley with this one. Everyone who comes to Chupa has a real sense of community, because of how often you'll run into friends here. This spot is a must visit!! Tell them Obi sent you!! read more

This place is amazing! All 3 owners- Gary, Eric, & Trent were behind the bar & each one was very helpful & knowledgeable. Atmosphere is inviting & it looks like these guys put a lot of effort into making this place look great & feel comfortable. Jukebox available as well as complementary water dispenser! They have 28 beers on tap as well as a great selection of red & white wines. You can Rose all day here inside or outside on the patio! Bathrooms are the cleanest & coolest looking in Mesa They also have awesome Chupacabra shirts to purchase as well as stickers, & come on who doesn't love a great sticker. This place is going to be a hit. Apparently this was just their soft opening Week so looking forward to seeing what becomes of this awesome place. Looking for food? Well they don't make any here but they had @chinoz_grill out & per the owners they will usually have food trucks on the weekends. They also say you are welcome to grab food & bring it in or order pizza from Myke's Pizza inside Cider Corps. There is several other food choices downtown or order delivery here. They are cool with it! Definitely making this part of my rotation in Downtown Mesa. Happy Hour is daily from open until 7p with $2 off draft, wine, & Pabst. They serve up Pabst Blue Ribbon & Montucky Cold Snacks Beer in paper bags so you feel pretty cool. And if you haven't heard of Montucky check out their website www.Montuckycoldsnacks.com to find out more about it. & Bonus, this month 8% of proceeds go to LGBTQ+ causes. So drink up for a good cause my friends. read more

Arguably the best taproom in Mesa. 28 constantly rotating taps as well as a few cans. As of this review, they also have an extremely generous happy hour all days of the week, something I havent seen anywhere else. If you've been to angles trumpet (which in my travels is the best taproom around) in downtown Phoenix, this is basically a mini version of that minus the food. If you find yourself anywhere in the valley this place is worth the trip, just be prepared for a tight squeeze if you come during peak hours. Just make sure you dont get too attached to anything on tap, because once it runs out you may not see it back up for a while. A perfect way to find a new favorite. read more

This is such a great little brew pub and we've been going there since shortly after they opened. Lots of great microbrews on tap and we frequently dash around the corner and get food from Worth takeaway which is awesome! Tonight, they had a food truck "Goat and Ram" with craft pizzas and we decided to give it a go....WOWZA! I never imagined that food truck pizza could be this good! It was truly amazing. Thank you Chupacabra for your amazing microbrew pub and hospitality. Looking forward to more fun times to come. read more

Wow! What an amazing new taproom in Mesa. Not only is the beer and wine selection second to none, but it is in such a cool and unique building. It makes you feel like you are in a pub in England. They have a great selection of beers, especially if you love IPAs. Lot's of other great choices too for those who like lighter and more approachable beers. Good selection of wine too, definitely something for everyone. Owners and staff are really friendly, approachable and make you feel at home. Tons of great dining options and food around too, so you can grab a sandwich, pizza or whatever and come hang out at Chupacabra. Excited to have this place in downtown Mesa! read more
