It's a cool brewery with a pizza shop inside. (Reviewed the pizza shop separately). Consists of some counter seating and a few long tables. Only had metal stools, didn't love that. Ordered a flight of 8 beers to try. Each pour is 5 oz. I really enjoyed most of them. Only a couple I wasn't crazy about. Service was good. Separate servers for pizza and beer. Really enjoyed t read more

Add another complaint about the 21 and older policy. And I had already paid $15 to park across the street. We were also told to go to Pizzacleta but we had dogs so that wasn't going to work. The food looks amazing. read more

Stopped by Dark Sky Brewing Beer Garden & Atmosphere Kitchen for lunch before the NAU graduation ceremony and it was a great spot to relax before the festivities. The outdoor beer garden is huge with plenty of seating, heaters for those crisp Flagstaff evenings, and sunshades for warmer days. There's indoor seating too, but the outdoor area is definitely the main attraction. It's also dog friendly, which was nice to see. You order both food and drinks at the counter and they bring everything out to you. We arrived right when they opened and there was already a line forming, so the place is clearly popular. The decor fully leans into Flagstaff's International Dark Sky designation with UFO, alien, and astronaut-themed artwork throughout the venue, which gives it a fun atmosphere. The drink selection was impressive with a huge variety of craft beers on tap plus cocktails, cider, and wine. We tried the Rainy Daze hazy IPA and the Vortices hazy double IPA. Both were smooth, flavorful, and not overly bitter or hoppy, and of course very hazy. Food was more hit or miss. The pretzel board was really good and the beer cheese was awesome. The fish and chips, however, were just okay. The fish tasted like the fryer oil probably needed to be changed, and the portions were smaller than expected with only three thin pieces of fish. The fries at least came out crispy and hot. Service was friendly, although interaction is pretty limited since everything is counter service. The all-gender bathrooms were also clean, which is always appreciated. There's a paid parking lot across the street along with metered street parking nearby. Overall, I'd come back for the atmosphere and the massive beer selection, but I'd probably skip the fried foods. read more

Friendly, relaxed, welcoming. Come as you are. Limited but interesting food menu. Very unique draft beers. Would be comfortable and inclined to come back, except... Minimal street/free parking. Lot across the street is $15 for 2 hours. THAT will be what keeps us away. read more

This is one of our go two spots whenever we are in Flagstaff. It is located downtown and usually pretty easy to get into. The pizza from Pizzicleta is so good! We also love their Caesar salad. The beer from dark sky is really tasty. The one thing that's never good. Here is the service. You get one server from the brewery and one from the pizzeria. So you have two different tabs. Which is fine. But nobody seems to like really want to take care of you and provide great service. It's a lively environment. They have large high top tables so you usually end up sharing with other people unless you sit at the bar I'll keep going back for the food though. read more

Absolutely adore the vibe of this place. They play punk music and have cool merch. I could definitely see myself as a regular if I lived here. There is a great outdoor seating area with heat lamps plus the indoor area. Visited in late March and it felt wonderful outside. Got a flight of five different beers but you can get up to eight in a flight. My favorite was the XXX Bronze. Heads up, do not rely on the website to see what's currently on tap because it is not updated frequently. Guess all four beers I wanted to try were popular as they were out and unavailable when I visited. read more

My hub & I came to Flagstaff for the weekend and stopped by Dark Sky for a quick, causal dinner. The location was super close and walkable. They have a lovely outdoor area but it was too cold for us to enjoy it unfortunately. The inside was also cozy. I loved all the quirky decor & they have live music. You order drinks & food at the counter and they bring everything out to your table. I really enjoyed my sour beer, my hub said his IPA was just ok. For food we shared the cheese curds and wings. The cheese curds were amazing, solid 10/10. They were perfectly gooey & I loved the salt and vinegar crust. The wings were also really good, great size & good flavor. I'd definitely come back here again next time I visit & hopefully in a bit warmer weather to fully enjoy the whole place. read more

Dark Sky Brewing is an awesome spot with a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. The space is welcoming and laid-back, whether you're stopping in for a casual visit or meeting up with friends. It has a comfortable, inviting vibe that works well for both locals and first-time visitors. The beer selection is amazing, with a wide variety of well-crafted styles that clearly show the care put into their brewing. Everything we tried was flavorful and fresh. The food is just as impressive--delicious, well-prepared, and a perfect match for the drinks, making the overall experience even better. One thing to note is that during peak hours, especially if you're with a larger group, the wait can be a bit long. That said, the quality of the food, drinks, and atmosphere makes it well worth it. Overall, Dark Sky Brewing delivers great vibes, amazing beer, and excellent food, and it's a place we're always happy to recommend and return to when back in the area. read more

Dark Sky Brewing - Just tap the gold stout! - Breweries Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Quirky bar in downtown Flagstaff featuring their brew beer, cocktails, cider and more. Plus the bar offers a selection of food . Bar is unique as it keeps with the theme of dark skies with the decor inside and outside if brewery. The brewery even sells some of their art. The staff were kind and patient with us, as we tried some of their beers for our first time. Staff also tended to me in finding a non beer drink. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Brewery features an extensive patio outside. And large tables inside for groups. Cheers! read more

While celebrating a friend's graduation, our group landed at Dark Sky Brewing. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a series of missteps that left us wondering if the brewery was having an off day. It seemed like a comedy of errors, as almost every member of our party received the wrong item or incorrect size of their order. Side salads arrived instead of full ones, meat tacos were mistakenly brought out for our vegan friends, and servers presented us with unordered dishes, leaving us bewildered. The mistakes were frequent enough to raise eyebrows, especially considering the brewery wasn't that crowded. However, it's worth noting that the staff at Dark Sky Brewing took ownership of the errors and promptly corrected them, ensuring that we ultimately received our correct orders. Although this was appreciated, it was disheartening to see the amount of food wasted due to the mistakes. On a more positive note, the atmosphere at Dark Sky Brewing was nice. The layout and aesthetic of the brewery were modern and inviting, with a clear emphasis on creating a fun, community-driven space. I appreciated the variety of events and activities offered, such as trivia nights on Thursdays and live DJ sets on select evenings, which added to the brewery's lively vibe. Despite the mishaps, I'm willing to give Dark Sky Brewing another chance. The potential for a great experience is evident, and I'm hopeful that our visit was simply an anomaly. With a bit more attention to detail and quality control, this Flagstaff staple could truly shine. If you're in the area, I'd recommend stopping by, but perhaps double-checking your order to ensure everything is as it should be. read more

Will always be our favorite place to come after snowboarding! The nachos with carne asada were super good, as well as the cheese curds. For beer, the current selection was lots of IPAs so I went with the unicorn spritz. Super good! Also love all the gluten free options! We will be back. read more

We love Dark Sky! It's our favorite brewery in Flagstaff. We like the OG brewery side that has Pizzicletta. Dark Sky and Pizzicletta run separately so you have two seperate bills. They have a newer side of Dark Sky, called the "Atmosphere Kitchen" that serves bar food and a beer garden that is 21 and older and also pet friendly. We've never eaten on that side because we love the pizza from Pizzicletta. I always get the Fungi pizza, the flavors are outstanding! My husband loves the Diavola pizza, which means devil in Italian. The pizza is a spicy Italian. The beer selection at Dark Sky is great! The whole place has a cool, laid back energy. The staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely a brewery to visit! read more

Yes it says 21 plus on patio (should probably add a bouncer) but you can't eat here if you have a baby. Understandable if the kid was 5 but a baby? Cmon. Didn't even give me the option for to go. Told to go in the back restaurant that's still Dark Sky but only services pizza and non gluten free for my celiac disease wife. Why can't you just serve the same food? It's the same building read more

The ambiance was good ! We appreciated that they were dog friendly and had heat lamps on their patio. Definitely chill vibes and nice people working. My problem was this, I ordered tacos and they came out as nachos, and then it took them upwards of 20 minutes to send out the tacos, and when they finally came out, they were cold and the meat was very chewy to the point where I couldn't even enjoy my meal. Very disappointing, and left hungry even though I paid almost $40 for a meal and drink. read more

We loved our food and beers here! Definitely order the Nashville chicken and the tacos. We loved the food so much on Sunday we brought our family back on Tuesday. Slight, noticeable differences in food quality but overall impressed with the GF options (so many!) and we loved the pineapple sour. Order at the counter and food comes fairly quickly. Lots of outdoor seating and super dog friendly. read more

The food was great service was even better when it came to our food. We had ordered the bees knees and the margarita. Both were good. Would i say it's the best pizza I've ever had...i don't think so. I mean it's definitely in my top 10 for sure but not number 1. With trying the two different pizzas i wast left with the type of yearning for another pizza of a flavor. I'd try another flavor next time we came back. When it came to the service for the beer side of things it was just okay. I think because they only had one person manning that area and probably stretched very thin so we had to go up to ask for our bill from someone else working behind the bar because im not sure when our waitress would even have time to come back to our table. I definitely did love how things were separated for families on one side and non families on the other without kids. Just a bit confusing but figured it out after a quick trip down the street. **lastly after getting home and washing my new brewery shirt addiction to my other 75 minimum brewery shirts was given the wrong tshirt i didn't even ask for can't even exchange it now if i wanted to. Since flagstaff is like a 2.5 hour trip one way. So make sure if you have kids to check before you leave! read more

Great lil spot. We stopped for lunch. Jess helped us at the counter and was awesome . Ben brought out our beer and food and was amazing as well. I had the IPA and my wife had the golden ale. OK maybe a few. My wife ordered the Korean chicken sandwich and I had the nachos with carnitas. Both dishes were terrific. The ambiance is upbeat and hip and the service, food and vibe stellar. Highly recommended read more

Would be 5 stars if they acted like a restaurant / brewery and had service. Very expensive beer prices yet you have to stand in a line and order then restaurant tip. Bizarre. Don't keep a tab open either so you have to pay each time you order. Lower your prices to match what you offer. read more

Let me start by saying the staff is amazing and really cares about the people and dogs that come to visit. We came for lunch with our dog and had some beers. The beer was phenomenal and well worth it. The food was fantastic and I would definitely come again. I had the flannel buddies and the Astro cookie stout delicious beer and go a Noggy to go. We had the fish and chips and the Carne Asada Nachos. This place has such a cool vibe and I will definitely come again when I'm in town. read more

Dark Sky Brewing is everything you want in a Flagstaff spot--laid-back, full of character, and actually cool without trying too hard. It's pet-friendly, which is always a win, and the atmosphere is packed with awesome artwork and personality that makes you want to hang out awhile. The salt and vinegar cheese curds are unreal--crispy, tangy, addictive, and honestly worth the visit alone. The beer lineup is solid, and the service was great: friendly, welcoming, and on top of things without being overbearing. This place has soul. Great food, great people, great art, and that unmistakable mountain-town energy. Dark Sky Brewing is a must-stop in Flagstaff. read more

Dark Sky Brewing Beer Garden and Atmosphere Kitchen was a great place to stop in for tasty beers and bites after a very long day of driving. We tried to go to the taproom and Pizzicletta but it was already packed with at least a 45 minute wait so we walked over to the beer garden instead. It was a great plan b choice and just as delicious! We ordered our food and drink and got it all in seemingly no time! We ordered a Caesar salad (w chicken, potato croutons, and Parmesan breadcrumbs) and the Korean fried chicken Sammie. Deeeeelish! Our friends got the Peruvian chicken tacos which they also enjoyed. Several beers were also ordered (area 66 amber ale, turbulence: cinnamon vanilla latte and 988 hazy are the only ones I remember hearing) which everyone also enjoyed. Everyone we passed Dark Sky Brewing while we were in the area it was packed so I'm glad we made it in at least once while we were there. At least we lucked out with a parking spot that was just down the street. We're looking forward to another visit for more tasty brews and bites! We highly recommend anyone that enjoys a great beer and tasty foods to stop in for a visit to relish in the greatness you're about to experience! read more

Having completed the Flagstaff Beer Passport, visiting & exploring brewery experiences & brews, I would say Dark Sky had some of my highest rated beer-through the brewery left little to desire- if we lived in the area, they'd be a preferred pick up & go I assume there is frustration with whatever they are experiencing from the city guidelines preventing them from being one full location- resulting in the separation of their brewery & the pizza joint, because oof the two servers, two tabs doesn't seem efficient (managed well)- We were visiting for drinks only- and the service was incredibly slow- took awhile to order our flights- asking questions about the beer & trying to decide preference style felt rushed by the staff, like I was inconvenient for asking if I was just going to order a flight, I should 'just go for it'- which we ended up doing Our flights took awhile to arrive- we ordered 6 brews to try- the glasses had inconsistent pour fills-frustrating since the prices were quite high- $29 for a flight- Overall, yes really good beer- but at higher prices & lower service, not sure that balances out read more

Our group of six was walking around in downtown Flagstaff came across a bright teal colored brewery with a 12ft tall skeleton out front and we knew that we had check this place out! This brewery had a giant dog friendly patio with lots of seating and shade. The inside is an explosion of neon colors and alien art-the vibes here are spectacular. There was a line out the door to order food and drinks-so you know this place has to be good. I ordered a pint of of their Smash Golden Ale, "One Way Or Another" and it was delicious. I ordered a basket of cheese curds with jalapeño ranch for the table and those dissapeared within minutes-I highly recommend you order these when you visit! read more

Came here for the Pizzicletta pizza and loved the vibe here more than the OG pizzicletta. We got sent over cause the wait here was much shorter than the OG spot. Sounds like they have slightly different menus but we were really happy! Got the Caesar salad, pepperoni, and Bees Knees - all were very good, hot honey (instead of regular honey) really would've sent the bees knees over the top but still yummy. You'll get different servers for the brewery and pizza, you can also grab sodas out of the fridge and it'll go in your bar tab read more

Came with my friend for dinner. We were originally unsure about the menu but then came back to give it a try. The teriyaki chicken special was quite good with a lovely range of vegetables and solid flavor. We definitely didn't expect the bright freshness from the dish which could have been highlighted more in the description. The pretzel we shared was fresh with good dips. My friend had high compliments for the queso, and I loved the mustard. Our drinks were all tasty, and the ambience on the patio was lovely. The artwork overall was gorgeous around the brewery, and they had an eclectic but cozy soundtrack. Would totally come back some time! read more

We understand and respect that businesses have policies regarding ID checks and outside food or beverages. However, our experience during our visit was frustrating due to how those rules were enforced and communicated. From the beginning, service felt disorganized. I believe the workers name was Anthony? We were clearly waiting in line when another customer was allowed to step directly in front of us without staff stepping in to manage the situation. Customers shouldn't be expected to create confrontation at the register -- staff should control order flow fairly. When ordering drinks, the interaction already felt uncomfortable. I ordered a Mer-Mosa and politely asked if it could be made extra sweet or with additional purée (and I was completely willing to pay any upcharge). The employee responded hesitantly with something along the lines of, "uhm... yeah I guess I can do that," which immediately made it feel as though a very normal customization request was an inconvenience rather than standard service. Later, while seated on the patio, one member of our group was unable to order because he did not have his physical ID but did have a digital ID which he offered to show. We completely understand ID policies. That said, having previously worked in alcohol service myself, I've never experienced a situation where every individual present was required to present a physical ID simply to order food or non-alcoholic beverages, especially when no alcohol was being purchased. After he left to get food elsewhere, a staff member approached our table and addressed the entire group in a stern and confrontational manner, despite the rest of us not being involved or giving any attitude. The interaction felt more like being scolded than receiving customer service. Staff pointed out drinks across the table -- including an energy drink someone had brought from the drive -- and spoke to us as though we were intentionally breaking rules. We noticed the entrance sign states this is a 21+ bar, which is completely understandable. However, there is no clearly visible notice stating no outside food or beverages or that a physical ID is required for all guests regardless of alcohol purchase. Clear signage would prevent confusion and avoid uncomfortable situations for both staff and customers. We respect businesses enforcing their rules -- the issue was not the policy itself, but the tone and inconsistency in how it was handled. The experience left our group feeling singled out and unwelcome. We also observed another family being asked to leave shortly after ordering, which raises concerns about consistency in enforcement. We hope management reviews how policies are communicated so guests feel respected while rules are still upheld. Will never be returning or recommending. read more

Cool place to hang out have a few tasty beers and pizza.

The beer cheese on the nachos was nice. Could've used more black beans and I should've asked for more jalapeños. Gotta knock the use of foil on them though, those delicious melty bits of cheese become one with the foil and you have to either give up on the best parts or eat foil, time to serve them on a real plate. The beer selection was great, and I was impressed they had 3 stouts on tap including a creative and delicious coffee stout. And we were allowed to get them all in a flight! read more

Great vibes and delicious food and beer. We went to the side where you can order regular bar food. I'm not sure what the deal is with the two different places right next to each other called the same thing but one having pizza and one not. But the waiter said they operate under different licenses so they can't serve each other's food so just be aware of what side you're going in if you want pizza or not. You can park on the street or pay for the lot across the street. read more
