Carbs, comfort, and a little bit of smoke! If you love New Mexican food and hatch chile as much as I do, you'll be in heaven. The menu changes daily, but I imagine they rotate favorites. I had the hatch chile mac and cheese with the smoky mushroom and it was absolutely delicious - quite spicy so make sure you can handle the heat! I also had a hatch chile cornbread muffin - the side of honey butter was a really nice touch, it's delicious. I'm a vegetarian and picked two items from the main menu, but they also have a dedicated plant-based menu. Many craft beer options on tap, and beautiful cocktails as well. The inside is perfectly dark and a bit goth with great decoration. I thought the TVs playing sports took away from the vibes a bit but I get that some people want that. A bit disappointed that the bathrooms were not in the theme, but everything else is beautiful. It took a bit of time to get our food, but I recognize I went at a busy time on a Friday evening. The rooftop patio is gorgeous. Ample parking outside, even on a busy Friday evening! read more

We LOVED Lovecraft! The queso ...OMG! so delicious. Everyone was thrilled. We had lots of tacos and I loved the posole! Delicious. And our waiter was the best. Adorable and personable. Couldn't ask for more! Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I,along with my in-laws checked with place on a Wednesday night for dinner. When you go in, there's a lot going on. It's a little dark, but there are some light chandeliers. There's a bar with TVs along the wall. There are tables against the wall and in the middle of the floor. They try to accommodate both large crowds and couples. It's kind of has a New Orleans vibe, without the jazz. There's art everywhere. Very different. I had the meat loaf and garlic mashed potatoes. It was awesome. I love meat loaf and they made it as close to what my mom used as any restaurant I've been to. The one downside is parking. We had to park down the street. Luckily the business where the car was left, was closed. I don't live in the Phoenix area, but next time I'm in town, I will make a point of suggesting we return. read more

The atmosphere here is amazing, both inside and outside upstairs patio was so nice. Our waiter was great! Food was so good, the meatloaf was the best I have had. Chimichanga was great with the green sauce. The brisket tacos were tender with great flavor. I'm shocked it took me so long to come try it out. Green chili queso was fantastic with a kick. read more

I'm not sure I would have driven by this restaurant and known how good their food was without my dad and stepmom being locals. They love this spot and I see why. The tables and chairs are mismatched as is the silverware. It's a moody vibe with their darker walls but friendly servers. The food is eclectic! We came on a Friday night so we were able to choose a prime rib dish. I believe they also offer it on Saturdays. Food: Prime rib quesadilla.. I see why it's so popular! It came with au jus sauce and horseradish. Great choice as an appetizer. Happy hour green chile queso and chips: a lot of the sauce is at the bottom of the dish so stir up the chips as the sauce collects at the bottom. It thankfully wasn't spicy. Mushroom taco dish: very bold and flavorful. I ordered love craft style with the guacamole and slaw. This is my family's favorite thing to order time and time again.. Green chile burger: very good! Green chile baked muffin (cornbread): I loved. For a drink I ordered the yuzu spring spritz, it was okay. All in all great food. There's so many things I wanted to try! And different types of food I think that would suit anyone. read more

One of my favorite hidden gems in the valley - Lovecraft! And if you've only been coming here for drinks, shame! You have been sleepin' on some of the best bites!! The atmosphere are chill and casual, and classy and vibey at the same time. The service is fantastic and prompt. But the food - out of this world! We've had the tacos, meatloaf, and lobster bucatini and all were fantastic. I feel like I dream about that meatloaf, it is so savory, but the lobster pasta with a tortilla, one of the best dishes I've had in a while. My husband and I almost licked the plate. The tortilla on the side sounds crazy but now that we've had it, again, we have been missing out. It was so good we ordered extra tortillas on the side. So impressed with Lovecraft, and you will be too! Go now! read more

We went for happy hour today and it was excellent. Cannot wait to go back. The food was fantastic. It's one of the best and most interesting menus I've seen in awhile. I had tacos and a margarita and both were terrific and very tasty. We ordered two nacho and queso dishes for table and everyone loved them. The grilled meat is the big draw here. Service was attentive, friendly and fast. We were never left waiting and at the end, our server sorted the checks efficiently and got everyone the right bill. The ambiance is good and comfortable. Although the restaurant was full and very busy, we had no trouble hearing because the ceiling is low and absorbs sound effectively. This place does everything right and I cannot wait to return! read more

Lovecraft - Fractional this from the happy hour menu. Delicious. - Beer Bar Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My friend and I have been wanting to go to Lovecraft for a while and unfortunately we went on a rainy day after we had already had dinner. Unfortunately because the menu looks dope and they have a whole plant based menu! And we couldn't sit on the rooftop because it's not rain proof. The inside though is nice and dark and moody. I love the way they display their wine on the wall and they have mead! They also have a ton of beer on tap and you can actually see the color displayed in glasses on the wall. I don't drink beer but it looked really pretty. Service was good and the only reason to give 4 stars is the guacamole (the only food we got) was fairly bland but we added their hot sauce both red and green and it made it much better. The chips were warm and salty. Also it was pretty pricey for getting two glasses of wine, 2 glasses of mead and guac and chips!!! $80!!!! I'm definitely coming back to sit on the patio and partake in the plant based menu with lots of dishes with jackfruit and smoked mushrooms. read more

Super cool vibe! Very speakeasy-adjacent with moody lighting, deep rich colors, and music chill enough that I didn't have to shout my order like I was at a tractor pull. We grabbed a drink at the downstairs bar first, then headed up to the rooftop patio, which is gorgeous. Tons of shade, perfect weather, and just a great spot. Trevor was our server, funny, friendly, and totally on it without hovering. His recommendations were spot on, and he somehow convinced us we now need to come back for Fried Chicken Sunday. Service in general was great; everyone was helpful and actually present. Apply Ever After: basically a very grown-up apple cider. Even my husband, who can detect a thimble of whiskey in a gallon of water, said it wasn't harsh or whiskey-forward, which feels scientifically impossible but here we are. Prickly Pear Margarita: light, sweet, and not overly limey. Don't get the salted rim unless you're craving a full-on salt lick experience. The Other Daiquiri: fruity, sweet, and gives big "New Orleans, third hurricane, questionable decisions pending" energy. Loved it. Cup Green Chile Stew: okay. Stop everything. This is green chile brisket and pork. Never seen that before, and now I want it everywhere. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but it's basically a bowl of incredibly tender meat bathing in glorious seasoned grease. Intense, meaty, spicy perfection. Tortillas come out warm and pliable like they're auditioning for a tortilla calendar. This is a 12/10 must-order situation. I'd come back for this alone. North Carolina BBQ Sandwich: pulled pork, vinegar slaw, vinegar sauce. Flavor was solid and the sauce had the perfect tang, but the bun desperately needed a toast because it fell apart like it just wasn't emotionally prepared for this sandwich. Queso fries were exactly what you'd expect: frozen fries and queso politely coexisting. Pozole: deep red, rich, and just the right amount of greasy, the kind of comforting greasy that fixes you from the inside out. Hominy still had bite, broth was flavorful. No notes. Overall, this place hits the vibe, the service, and the food. A couple tiny misses but nothing even close to a dealbreaker. Between the cocktails, the rooftop, and that absolutely ridiculous green chile stew, this spot is officially going into our regular rotation. If you're on the fence, just go, you'll be glad you did. read more

We started our night at the bar because the patio wasn't yet open, so we each had a cocktail at the bar and then we moved upstairs Trevor was our server, and was very attentive The view of the mountains from the rooftop patio is beautiful, and just another reminder of why I love to call Phoenix my home PRICKLY PEAR MARGARITA arette blanco tequila, iconic cocktails prickly pear, fresh lime + orange liqueur VERY refreshing, prickly pear flavor but not in your face, the salt rim is overwhelming(!!) but through the straw it's a nice cocktail CUP GREEN CHILE STEW thick-n-hardy green chile brisket-n-pork, melted cheese w/flour tortillas Holy meaty goodness, this does not skimp on the protein, with both brisket AND pork, amazing flavor, nice, respectable heat that builds, and topped with queso, served with a flour tortilla, this could easily be a meal on its own Bonus smoked jalapeno to nibble on BBQ SANDWICH We got pork, served on a noble kona bun w/ queso fries The bun could use toasting to make it a little bit more sturdy, but the meat is very flavorful, tender, seasoned well We got a side of the North Carolina barbecue "sauce", which was more like jus, but it made for great dipping The queso fries were very nice Definitely plan on returning, would absolutely recommend read more

We had gone to Lovecraft several times and it was great. That's why we chose it to celebrate our anniversary. But this time, it was SO disappointing that it buzzkilled our special evening. My husband ordered the barbecue plate. The scraps of meat were dry and hard. The "barbecue sauce" the server recommended was pure vinegar. I ordered the bowl of lobster bisque. It came half empty and cold. I sent it back to be heated. It came back with more soup in the bowl, but it was still cold. The muffin that came with it wasn't fully baked, it was soupy wet in the middle. At that point, we just left. We had planned to order dessert, but the server ghosted us. My husband had to get up to find someone to get our bill. read more

My husband and I have stopped in several times for drinks and it was great. Today we tried lunch. We waited well over an hour and had to ask for the food to go because the kitchen was THAT slow. Our server was lovely, but they're clearly understaffed and the food is sub par. I could've got a comparable meal at Cane's for far less. Father's Day meal was a bust. We won't be back. read more

Lovecraft is a great local neighborhood restaurant with incredible food. If you follow them on Social media you'll see them post random specials throughout the week that are very creative and I'm sure taste amazing. I've been here a few times and the food and drinks have been stellar every time. Service is great. They understand the menu and do a great job of explaining the dishes and the creative specials I mentioned. It's an interesting ambience that feels dark and cool on the inside. When the weather is good they have covered seating on the roof. The food though is what this place is all about. They call themselves a New Mexican Inspired Smoke Kitchen. Lots of New Mexican chilis in the dishes for the right kick of spice and smoke. This is a great place to come for drinks if you are somehow not hungry. A wide selection of local craft beers and an interesting cocktail menu that rotates seasonal choices and includes infused spirits. I'm looking forward to the return of the Hatch Green Chili Watermelon Margarita. read more

Lovecraft - Interior bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place was fun! Very dark and intimate setting inside, they do offer outdoor seating too. I really appreciated the large beer list they had, but decided to try one of their cocktails, El Smokey Peach. It was nice, full of flavor. We decided to try some appetizers too. The green chile cornbread muffin was fantastic, I highly recommend it! The bacon wrapped jalapeños were also good, but smaller than I was expecting. Also kind of pricey for only 5. Probably will skip these next time. They offer Mexican food and bbq, which was interesting. I tried the street tacos entree which comes served traditionally or the LoveCraft way. I went with the LoveCraft way since it included guacamole, and chose chicken for the protein. They were good, but I also tried the brisket tacos and they were incredible. I would definitely order brisket street tacos next time. Our waitress was nice. The other servers working were also friendly. I would come back here again. read more

Overall I'll give this restaurant a sold 3.8/5. First off the staffs were nice and friendly, but my deduction was on the wait for our main dishes. Starving and ordered chips and cheese dish. I tried to just snack on the chips, but ended up eating the entire plate since the food took a minute. Nevertheless, the green hatch cheese dip was great and well seasoned. chips was thin just the way I liked them. Chicken Chimichanga 3/5, for a fried burrito, there was not a bit of crunch, just feels like a regular wrapped burrito that was likely toasted. Additionally, was expecting something else besides meat inside the chimichanga, like cheese, corn, rice, bean, etc. but it was all served separately on the plate. For the side rice, it was overcooked and a bit tough. Meatloaf 4/5. Definitely the star from what we ordered. The meatloaf was tasty with a perfect balance of salty and sweetness blended together. read more

The food was awesome! The hatch green chile quesadilla was very flavorful and delicious, and a HUGE serving! My wife got the hatch green chile meatloaf that had mashed potatoes and I even had a bite of it. I would say it was pretty tasty. I'm not a big meatloaf person, but definitely a very unique flavorful item! The service was awesome too, our server Luke was great and friendly with awesome recommendations! Also, we got a special surprise close to closing! We saw them put the meat on the smoker probably to let it cook all night! I would say the ambience is pretty unique too, not really sure how to even describe it so I guess you'll have to see for yourself! read more

We were looking for a bar/ lounge just for drinks and found this hidden gem. The décor is mesmerizing and quite unique whether for a romantic evening or a get together. What impressed me the most was the age range of the clientele ! From young to older it was nice to see a place that appeals to so many different generation. The bartender was quite friendly and made me a drink based on my likings. He change the water bottle regularly to assure we had cold water . The food smelled amazing and I can't wait to go back and try it. read more

I can't believe I've been driving past LoveCraft every week for the past 3 years and only just tried it, thanks to a friend's recommendation. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not coming sooner! This place is cozy, creative, and so uniquely decorated. Everywhere you look, there are little conversation pieces that make the atmosphere feel fun and memorable. It's the kind of spot where you just want to sit, take it all in, and enjoy. The menu is pretty diverse so there's something for every mood or craving. My boyfriend and I couldn't decide, so we split the Smoked Rib Quesadilla and the Hatch Green Chile Burger. Both were incredible. The quesadilla had rich, smoky flavor that I kept going back to, and the burger was juicy and packed with flavor (just a little messy, but in that good "worth it" kind of way). One thing that really stood out, they serve water in old recycled liquor bottles, which we thought was such a cool touch. We're not big drinkers (maybe once or twice a year), but the bottle itself caught our attention, and we ended up asking for a sample of the actual drink. It was the Superstition Meadery - Peanut Butter Jelly, in case you're curious Let's just say... it was absolutely delicious, and now we have a new favorite to add to the list. (Pic in review!) The entire meal, I kept telling my boyfriend how much I loved everything. If I had to choose, the quesadilla edges out the burger just slightly for me, but honestly, both were worth every bite. Cozy vibes, fun décor, amazing food, and creative little touches! LoveCraft just earned a permanent spot on our date-night rotation. Don't wait 3 years like I did! read more

Me and my friend just acted like it was salsa and dipped our chipped in it haha my tacos were good bit dry and no complaints in the rice or beans simple and good , They do charge you for sour cream if you like that but for $2 bucks crazzzzzzy never been charged before for sour cream at other restaurants read more

This a a cool vibe place known for Mexican inspired food & craft beers! Large selection of beers & specialty cocktails for anyone's taste or mood! The food selection is more limited if you do not do spicy or smoked bbq meats, like me. I had the chicken tacos which weren't spicy or smoke flavored. My friend did not like that there was too much fat on her French dip sandwich & that the side salad seemed packaged. The server was kind enough to swap the salad with coleslaw for her. We appreciated the servers who were friendly & hardworking. This place is known for its giant sparkling chandelier hanging above a rooftop patio.

I'm really torn with what to rate this place. Ambience was 11/10- super cool interior, beautiful vining plants covering the entrance area, and a really cool looking rooftop area that you request to eat in. The servers were also really friendly. However, the food and service itself was sadly underwhelming, especially for the price, the wait was over 40 minutes (even though there was a table available for the size of our party the entire time, they just hadn't set it), and after we ordered it took like **an hour** to get our food. We ordered chips & guac- these were good! Chips were greasy but nice and crispy and salty. I got the BBQ plate and honestly it looked like something I'd make at home. The meat, fries, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce all being in separate ramekins really made the meal feel disconnected & reminded me of when I have a mix of leftovers at home. I got the vinegar BBQ sauce since it was recommended with the pork, but it tasted just like a small bowl of red wine vinegar. The vinegar coleslaw was about the same. Meat tasted smoky so that was nice, but it wasn't anything special. The fries were not good, hard without being crispy and didn't taste fresh. I almost forgot the worst part!! My brother in law ordered an old fashioned that never came, and when he brought up nicely that he ordered one but hadn't recieved it yet the wisitress fervently declared that he never ordered one and may have entertained the idea- but surely she never got an order. This was after my sister in law ordered beans and rice for her baby and only received beans (she was also told that she never ordered any rice). They also never refilled our waters, and we were there for quite a while since it took our food an hour to come out. Also got charged extra for 2oz of alternative BBQ sauce. I did enjoy the smoky old fashioned ordered, but again nothing special. The place itself really is what you're paying for. Ambience- 11/10 Food- 5/10 Service- 4/10 Overall, a very it's a Monet- looks great from a distance, but up close it's a mess. read more

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. It's not in the best area of town but the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. We went there last Sunday for lunch and what a vibe! The inside decor is beautifully decorated and it gives a "speakeasy" type of vibe. Our server was excellent. He was very helpful and attentive without being too much. We started with the bacon wrapped jalapeños and they were excellent. I had the green chili chicken tacos and my husband and son both had the carne adovada. The portions for this entree were huge. Enough for leftovers. Highly recommend. We would love to come back on a weekend night and checkout the rooftop bar. read more
