Desert Monks Brewing is such a great local brewery!…read more They have a wide variety of beer in a nice casual setting. They also do fun events here during the week like trivia on Thursdays. They have couches inside as well as a nice patio with chairs and some umbrellas for shade. Staff is always friendly and can answer any questions or make recommendations for whatever your preference is. This might be my new go-to brewery in Gilbert!

We love trying different breweries when we're traveling with friends and decided to buy a Groupon…read morefor this place since it offered 2 beer flights and 4 glass of beer for 4 ppl. Great deal too. The place is nice and decent in size. Parking was ok. It has some seating outside and some inside, along with counter top seating at the bar area and two areas with couches to relax in with friends to play games & mingle. They have a variety of games to choose from so it's also kid friendly if you bring your kids with you. They also have water and water cups to the side if you need some. The bartender who was there tonight was friendly & allowed us to take our time choosing the beer we wanted to try on our flights. Overall, some of the flavors were interesting and some weren't to our liking. Honestly, it really comes down to preference of how the flavors came through when you first sip it if you ask me. It was a hit or miss for me and my friends. Out of the 5, I did enjoy the Wy Abbo one the most since it's a guava pale ale. It had good flavors. One thing for sure though, I kind of wish all the beers on the flight were more cold. I don't know how to explain it but the temperature of it wasn't as crisp as I thought it should've been and it might've made a difference for my palate if beers came out colder. I also wish they included seltzers in their flight option. That would've allowed me to enjoy the flight more since beer can be heavy & fulfilling when you have multiple. We really wanted to like the beer options at this place but it wasn't for us. Glad we were able to test it out and for me, I only came because my husband and friends like beer.

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!

We made our way on a Monday night and had no trouble parking in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (4/5): I've always been a fan of breweries and this is no different. Typical brewery feel. The only difference? It's more spacious than most. There's plenty of room, which is always a good thing. Service (4/5): They weren't busy, but the bartender did a pretty good job taking care of us. I was able to order and close out without any trouble. Food (N/A): We had dinner prior, and regardless, Monday is the one night of the week they don't offer food. The rest of the week, they have various food trucks. Drinks (4/5): Whenever I'm at a brewery, I always get a flight. This visit was no difference. They have their beer listed on the wall, along with the style of beer, and the alcohol content. The beers are listed in terms of light on the left, and darker and darker as you go right. Which makes it easy to make a selection. I picked out my flight and enjoyed all of them. Goldwater Crossings has more of the IPA and dark beer varieties than my personal taste prefers, but I still had some good options. Outside of Chandler, they have another location in South Scottsdale.

Plus all the greenery makes you feel like your eating outside of the main city! But last night we had a party of 8 adults. Our waitress took over 30 minutes just to bring waters. Then just brought 1 water after one of party members asked again for waters. Then when she was taking out drinks orders she seemed annoyed. She made one of our party members so uncomfortable because when she went to order the drink she wanted the waitress said we are out of ginger something or other and said so now what do you want to order. Made our friend feel rushed and uncomfortable. Our friend is a young 21 year old and she felt uncomfortable the rest of the night. She even stated to her mom and I that she felt she was in trouble with the waitress. The waitress had zero patience with her and said I will just come back. Left our friend feeling upset and uncomfortable. She was then uneasy the rest of the night at The Perch. Then she brought out our meatball appetizer with no plates to share. Did she expect us to sit around a small skillet and all of us to eat out if it?!?!? She took so long to bring plates one of my friends got up from the table to go grab plates. I sent my margarita back it was watered down and just not good. Gagged when I took a drink. When I told her I would like to send it back she questioned me like I had committed a crime. She finally agreed to send it back. Once the food runners brought our food out we didn't see her again till the bill needed to be paid. Never refilled my water which was disappointing. Considering I couldn't enjoy an alcoholic beverage you think she could fill our waters. Sadly it will be a long long long time before we ever go back if ever. Our whole party was completely disappointed. It was supposed to be a fun night out and it was ruined because this waitress from the beginning seemed annoyed, bothered and well quite frankly rude!! The time we were ignored and seemed to annoy the waitress was very off putting. I wish I would have gotten her name. Btw the restaurant was NOT busy enough to have the waitress acting so ridiculously annoyed and rude!! Deeply disappointing when you pay that much to enjoy dinner for 8. Maybe she needs more training or an attitude adjustment.
