I came here last evening for the Not Your Average Book Club meet up and happy to have discovered a…read morenew spot. The book club organizes 90 minutes of time for you to read whatever book you bring. I like the idea as I have quite a few books piled up to read and I need some dedicated time to get thru my books. Otherwise, I'll just get distracted with something else. SQUIRREL!! This cidery is very close to Tempe Marketplace and it filled up quickly and basically took over the smallish shop. Apparently, usually on Thursday nights, there is trivia, but that was canceled and some people left that came for that. Make sure you check their schedule as they do lots of events here. I think on Wednesday nights, they have bingo and tons of weekend events. The place is smallish but bright and welcoming. A nice, casual bar and plenty of ciders on tap. I'm not really a cider drinker as it's just too sweet for me. But, I wil say the lady that helped me was very sweet and let me try three of their most dry ciders. I went with the #1 option which was prickly palm, I think. It was a good cider, still more sweet that I like, but it was a good cider. You can also see the brewing vats here too, so it's a legit spot! They dont have food here, but Genos is literally a few shops down and they deliver to the cidery. It's your usual pizza, fries, wings kind of place. I wasn't in the mood for that tonight. The book club had a great turn out and I did meet one woman sitting next to me reading and she was nice. While I like this idea of BYOB and read, I had a hard time focusing as it was pretty loud and a lot of socializing and I was trying to get through a pretty dense book. But, I was able to settle in and did finish one dense chapter I was trying to finish. Also, this book club does raffles for gift certificates to a bookstore, so that was cool. Bummer I didn't win. I'd definitely come back here again if another book club was hosted here. And an occasional cider that's sweeter than my usual might be a nice addition to my regular routine. The sweetness might just add more sweetness in my life! Wink! Wink!

There were some TVs on playing the movie Holes and the tv show Friends, both my favorite!! The bartender (Maddy?) was super nice and let me sample a few ciders before making a decision. I really loved the Chai Not, and the watermelon mint, and ordered each in a 5oz glass. They offer BINGO at this location every Wednesday, and I got to participate. It was fun, lots of different prizes including free drinks, and to go cans. Unfortunately they don't offer food at this location, but they encourage people to bring food from other places! There was a pizza place next door that delivers if you have a pizza craving.

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.

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. Cannot wait to come back! Reservations required for a table in the dining room.

I appreciate that the owner was able to keep the space filled almost immediately after the closing of the previous brewery. The interior may look different from the last 2 iterations but it is still the best vibes for a small bar. He also has continued with having some recurring events here. From talking with the bartender, there's only a few of them running the bar, which is totally understandable. The guy working that night - it took him a little time to warm up.. which was a little off-putting. In this day and age, I don't know if that's a good vibe to throw off initially. But once we broke thru, he was super nice. From what I read, the FuzzBot focus is IPAs. There are other brews to pick from on tap - about 15-20 in total, plus wine (at the request of former Pig regulars, what I've been told). He also has a partnership with Cornish Pasty during select days for a nice combo meal. Much like other breweries too, FuzzBot offers flights, which is perfect for people like me who don't drink a lot anymore and love variety. Of the four, my pref was the Scorpion Dust, which is their flagship beer, then DOTD and Madonna... the Crimson was not what I was hoping for. I should've just gotten another FuzzBot beer! Genuinely hope this place has legs and stays around for a long time... we def need it.

We sat at the bar for convenience of the server, but unfortunately would wait quite a bit for boxes. To the point where we almost just left without the food, and wish we were asked if we needed a box when paying. What I Ordered: - Can of Coke ($3): A little pricy for a can, but I never expect a predominantly beer location to have a soda machine. - Schnitzel Sando ($15): wowza! I had to take a selfie to show how large this was! Schnitzel Patty the size of my head making the bun pretty comical. Very good, and I can see myself ordering again though I hated the sauce with it. The staff member said it had horseradish, so that explains it. - Burger of the Month: My coworkers pick, and she raved about the burger itself and the onion rings. Though sat for easily 10+ minutes waiting for our server to notice us to flag for a box to take my food to go, we still were pleased with the food and the experience prior to that. I'd definitely return as it's a clean location with lots of seating with good eats!

Came with some friends for dinner, one of them hadn't been before so we were glad to introduce her to this gem. This night we started with an order of the mozzarella sticks, which was a first and so glad we tried them because I want them every time we come now! Four sticks to an order along with a small bowl of their wonderful marinara sauce. They were lightly breaded and fried to perfection and when you bit into one, you got that mozzarella pull! We decided to try the pizza salad this time around and so glad we did because it was truly delicious. Comes with an oregano vinaigrette and of course I also asked for a side of ranch (theirs is really good) and I love the combo of dressings! Again, another favorite discovered! This time we decided on the Meat-Za flat bread and it was amazing! It is made with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, Italian seasoning all on top of their most wonderful flat bread pizza crust. Really, really good! Friends got the BBQ Chicken flat bread as well as a half Elote and half Meat-Za and she loved it. The BBQ chicken was good as well so will get that one next time! The Elote we experienced previously and it is so good!!! It was busy this evening we were there but food took no time to get to us and service was what you expect! You order at the counter, are given a number and food is delivered to you at your table. This is truly one of our favorites in the rotation now...

Our servers, especially Hannah, took phenomenal care of our entire party all night. To start, I ordered a spread of appetizers for the table: tater tots, sweet potato fries, two orders of pretzels, spinach dip, guacamole, and cornbread fritters.
