Bar area

Staff not very friendly, making the environment feel less than inviting. One of the bartenders was telling a customer an animated story, yelling and cursing throughout. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. Beers are brewed on site and are pretty good though.

I purchased my husband a Groupon for here to try the beer flight, and what a fun evening we had!! we sat right at the bar, and had nice conversations with the beertender, and other patrons. We really enjoyed out samples, and then we were able to get 2 more beers. they have a little catering service that can cook food for you since the actual brewery does carry food to sell( except chips n salsa). peaceful and chill vibe, will definitely be back!!

One of my friends suggested we meet up for a sweet treat at the bakery across the way, then come for a drink at Desert Monks Brewing. Parking can be a little tricky, but we were able to find a spot on a Saturday summer afternoon. I can imagine it could be difficult in the busy winter season. Since it's summer, it was also full of amble amounts of seating. The staff were incredibly friendly and took our order quickly. I loved that they had a soda option and a small pour of a beer, since I was trying to avoid drinking much. My friend loved her flight, and this is an all around return if in the area!

Soooo....the atmosphere and staff are great. 5 stars there! I just didn't like any of the beers. We tried 2 flights of 5, so tasted a total of 10 beers, and I honestly didn't want a full glass of any of them. Very fun place tho. Tons of games. They also do DnD nights and Trivia nights. They also have gender neutral bathrooms, which, c'mon y'all...this needs to be the norm! And a community hand washing station which I love (we can all see you). Finally, there are signs all over encouraging people to get home safe. Great vibes! Just wished the beer was better.

Absolutely love this place! Bartenders are always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to serve. They will come to you once you sit down, which seems like it should be norm, but lately I've been going to places that require you to order at the bar. Lots of board and card games for the whole family to play. Live music on certain nights. They do not serve food, but get a food truck every once in a while and are allowed to bring your own food in. Every time I've been here, I always find a handful of beers I really like. Best place for flights!

Okay I do not know how I have not posted a review for Desert Monks yet! This is hands down our favorite brewery in the Gilbert area. The always have good delicious beer options and the ambiance is just the best. They have tons board games to play, video games, foosball, and so much more. The staff are always super friendly and we just have a great experience here every single time. We are here several times a month. Some days they have food trucks and any other time you can bring in your own food. We often start at Taste Buds across the street for the kids and take it into Monks where mom and dad get our treat ;) It is great! Then when they are done they have a blast with the board games, video games and even toys for our two year old. They have something for everyone! There's tons of seating, both indoors and outdoors. They also host a lot of great events from trivia to live music. If you haven't been here yet, check them out! We absolutely love this place! Pros: *Great beer *Wonderful staff *Occasional food trucks *Games galore *Great for kids *Plenty of seating Cons: *Absolutely none

Shared public hand-washing area...great for us all!

DMB was a nice comfy find in our area. It was surprisingly light on patrons for a Saturday evening - more surprising than the relatively early closing time of 9pm - although, would make sense if it's usually this slow. The beer selection wasn't as wide as I've been accustomed to with local breweries of similar size. I enjoyed the house brewed spicy beer (coyote something) and I'm always partial to the coffee flavored beers - beyond that, my tastebuds just didn't seem to line up with their selection. Staff was super attentive - checking in regularly Parking is available nearby

Stopped here after leaving another brewery near by because it was soooo busy. This place had plenty of room. We sat at the bar as usual. The bartender was very attentive and personable. I don't remember her name, but I loved her tattoos. We enjoyed the trivia that was on the TV's they were playing when we first walked in. We were here celebrating and it WAS Sunday Funday, so we continued our adventure after one drink each. I don't remember exactly we had, but I know I had a sour and he had an IPA.

Great brewery. They have a good selection of beers and they introduce new ones often. It's a super chill spot, it can get pretty packed when they have Trivia night which is every Thursday. Sometimes they have food trucks and you can bring your own food which is nice since there are quite a few options nearby. I personally just have beers when I come here. They have inside and outside seating and quite a few board games and foosball. Service has always been good. I like that they keep their website up to date with events. Coconut telegraph is one of my fav beers, super unique.

One of the newer brewery taprooms, microbrewery-in the Gilbert area. Great selection of beer. Approximately, 20 Taps of house brewed beer; including a very well rounded hazy pale ale -New Belgium Citradelic and a Bash Bro DIPA with a deep malty flavor and light bitterness. This one seems to be there highest alcohol by volume at 8.2. %. Staff seems very knowledgeable & accurate with recommendations. I had the Alewife's Pumpkin Pie and in my opinion, probably the best seasonal beer I've had thus far. My husband had their Sour Saison which was a great balance of acidic, sour and tart. TVs above the bar, noise level & conversation- pleasant. Very chill environment. FYI-They only serve packaged snacks, but there is a food truck that's often right outside their doors that is highly recommended. It wasn't there when we came in, in the evening but I'm sure you could catch it during the day around lunch time! The servers also encourage you to try the local spots surrounding them, order a pizza have it delivered and or bring in your own food. Don't be shy! They have clean restroom facilities, nicely presented hand washing station which near- there's fun board games to grab to entertain you and your guest(s) while enjoying drinks! Desert Monks also offers hard kombucha and sodas which look interesting to explore. Next time! Stop in and help support local business. We enjoyed our visit. Think you will too!

Our flights are $10 for 5 5ounce pours. During happy hour the flight is just nine dollars. All our prices include tax

Is this business family-friendly? Meaning, could my husband and I come here and bring our 1 year old? High chairs? Changing tables? Or is this a "get a sitter" before coming type place?

Hi Stephanie, We are a family friendly business. We do have high chairs and changing tables in one of our restrooms. We do see a lot of families bringing in their kids of all ages and having a good time. We have two sets of couches for added comfort…

Perfect Retirement Celebration Spot! Thank you OHSO Gilbert!…read moreWe celebrated my wife's retirement at OHSO Brewery + Distillery in Gilbert and could not have asked for a better experience. We reserved one of the VIP cabanas and it was ideal for a group. We had our own dedicated server who was incredibly attentive all night, and there were 2 TV's inside the cabana so we didn't miss a minute of the MLB Playoffs on September 30th. So much room to move around and actually have conversations with everyone -- not cramped at all. Best part: we got to bring our dog Ellie to celebrate with us. OHSO Gilbert is super dog-friendly and they even brought Ellie water and a homemade dog treat for the patio. We ordered just about every appetizer on the menu -- the Buffalo Chicken Dip, the potstickers, all of it -- and we really liked them. We ordered dinners and dessert as well and were pleased with all of it. And for a retirement party on a budget, it was very inexpensive. We were able to host an our group, have our own space, and still come in under our retirement celebration budget. From the dedicated server, to the cabana with TVs, to being dog-friendly and easy to book, OHSO made it SO easy. Thanks for making her retirement night so memorable -- we'll be back!

Perhaps the best outdoor patio area in Gilbert!…read more Great beer too! The 89A is the bomb. A good example of a "California Common" or steam beer. Food is good too. They have more than just the typical bar fare (but burgers & bar food as well). And amazing people watching. Dog friendly too!
