The streets were lively with people and bands playing on almost every corner. There was a band playing when we got there and it was pretty loud. It would be really cool if they had like a large door upfront to open. Lots and lots of pinball machines and other games. Cool place to hangout but very limited seating.

Great outdoor seating with misters and shade. We caught a World Cup game for lunch and the temp was very comfortable.

The patty crust was bordering on burned and I'm not sure there was anything else besides cheese and a wedge of lettuce on the burger. There's a literal burger place across the street so you'd think the burgers here would have to be pretty decent in order to be bold enough to offer it on the menu. I'd try something else next time.

I cannot wait to come back for the food! Ryan was awesome in the bar! Very nice and friendly, easy on the eyes :) Attentive when he needed to be but otherwise, very hard worker! Jiji was our favorite beer out of the 4 we tried, but really everything was yummy! There's one called Forget me not that is our absolute favorite, so we'll be back soon for that. Very clean, huge outdoor space with rooftop views and seating. Tips are not required or optional, however, the public is charged 20% on their tab, which is more than reasonable.

We were ready for the Phoenix heat, but appreciated the inside was cool. Not too cold, but a nice break from the outdoor heat. Good selection of beer, which I would hope from a brewery. Fast service. Tried the Wease the Juice and Lost World. I wanted the Wease the Juice to be a little more sour, but the fruit flavor was nice. Not too strong or sweet. Lost World was exactly as described - amber, toasty, and delicious. The real highlight for me was the pizza though. Loved the inventive and creative toppings. Apparently they have rotating flavors, but the two they had that night were amazing! Ground pork with sweet and sour and wonton strips. Mmmmm! And the other special had chipotle crema, sweet corn, and a dusting of flamin' hot cheetos!!! So good. Couldn't stop having a slice. If I am ever back in the Mesa area, will definitely stop in for a beer and to see what rotating pizzas are there!

12 west is generally a solid option for food and drinks in Downtown Mesa. I used to really love…read morecoming here when Mike was one of the main bartenders, he made excellent cocktails. I've been here a bunch of times over the years. Giving 4 stars simply due a mix of experiences, good and meh. Most recently we sat at the cocktail bar ordered a beer & whiskey sour. Drinks came quickly but then it took a while for anyone to ask if we wanted food (we originally intended to). I think what happened is that our original bartender may have gone on break, while a new person coming on shift was busy doing things and didn't know to check with us since we already had drinks in front of us. It wasn't a major issue. It just created a long gap which gave us the option to decide to go elsewhere. We also noticed the beer we ordered was flat and we eventually let the new bartender know. She offered to get us a pint of something else but we had decided today wasn't our day at 12 West and move on. Typically beers are great, cocktails are solid, and food is good too. What seems to vary the most is service.

We got a couple drinks as well as the popcorn chicken and Birria tacos. This wasn't our first time visiting this location and probably won't be the last. It's a great spot in downtown Mesa.

And older friend in our group struggled to understand the bartender but seemed to enjoy the surprise beer the server brought. We were all starving and while Oro doesnt have food, they do have a QR code for about 4-5 walkable options that they allow you to bring food from (or some will deliver to Oro). Nothing on that list appealed to us so we closed our tab and headed across the street for food. All in all, it was a fun dive bar showing the classic Young Frankenstein with low lighting and a pool table.

Decided…read moreto pull out my phone. and instead of using Yelp, I actually just punched cheesesteak into Waze, and what do you know?! I ended up finding the cheesesteak joint. This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. This is a really chill brewery, and not a huge spot. Maybe 8 to 10 high top tables with bar seating, and a mostly open floor plan. They have a small patio too, with what looks like about another tables but because I visited at night, nobody was outside. They also seem to be extremely dog friendly as they had one table with a really chill cocker spaniel completely laid out on his side in the middle of the floor. I'm not sure how many taps they had in total, but definitely more than 40 I would say. I'm not a big beer drinker, so I ordered a cider. The cider I was served was on tap and really tasty. And it definitely hit the spot of terms of price point. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner/manager of the tipsy cactus (shout to him because he was really cool), he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping so I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future, especially if I'm hitting one of the food trucks parked outside.

It then took me no less than 30 minutes to get her attention for another beer but, I just elected to close out. Probably the worst hotel bar I've ever visited,
