I've only ever passed through Yuma traveling around the Southwest, but never stopped to check it out. I've definitely been missing out. Prison Hill is the classic brewery serving a great variety of beers and food. Lineup for the night: Chango Malo (stout), Crimin Ale (cream ale), Peanut Butter Stout. Each beer was phenomenal in mouth feel as I like the richer, creamier beers. Chango malo had a lovely cocoa flavor. Peanut Butter stout actually tasted like peanut butter without being offensive. You can taste the peanuts behind the butter. The Crimin ale had a good mouth feel but pro tip - don't have a lighter beer between two heavier ones with spicy food. It gets a bit overpowered. On the topic of food, I had the Wrecker sandwich. Soft roll, smoked meat, and crunchy slaw made for a good dichotomy of texture in the sandwich. When you see smoke rings in a bbq sandwich, you know you're eating some primo shit. I'm not a big fan of spicy though but this was the right amount between the slaw and the fresh jalapeños. I felt like deviating from the usual burger and it was a good choice. Looking around at some of the other plates, I don't think I couldve gone wrong. Solid venue, good food, good beer, great staff. Usually I'm not into chains and handcuffs but if it means ending up at Prison Hill, lock me up baby. read more

I've ate here twice now. The first time was in 2023 and again in March of 2026. The first time I got "The Jail Bird" and with sidewinder fries. It was very good! Tonight I got the "Prison Hill Smoked Meat Plate" with the tri-tip and brisket with sidewinder fries and macaroni salad as my sides. I must say I was not impressed with this meal. The meat just didn't have much flavor in my opinion. I'd go back for sure because the service is good and the atmosphere is very casual, but I'll try something else next time. read more

Came back when in town to show this spot to my boyfriend. It was a quiet Wednesday, we were the only ones inside but our server/bartender was kind and friendly. But the food, was better than I remember. The chicken breast on my sandwich was so tender and cooked to perfection. Grilled onions were perfect, and they had good thousand island sauce. My boyfriend said his burger was bomb. My nieces nacho fries were HUGE. And we had a beer each. I will say, this place being in Arizona was very expensive for bar foods, and I'm from San Diego where food is expensive. but nonetheless, it was absolutely delicious! read more

Prison Hill brewery has great options of beer and even better food. Lots of beers on top. I enjoyed a blackened salmon with spicy coleslaw on the side. We had a flight of ears, our server gave us really great tips and options. Great seating outside very spacious. The manager came out to talk to us. She was wonderful as well. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Enjoyed the atmosphere for the 11th anniversary event. Meet the owner who stopped by our table and wanted to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. The servers were fun and put up with my group's hijinx. Definitely good elevated bar food. But I really enjoyed the beer. The Chica Buena was my new favorite. Definitely stop by if you want a great beer with your meal. read more

Usually pop in for a drink but decided to check out the new Sunday brunch menu. Super glad we did! Bar seating is usually the way to go for us with the most attentive service. We ordered the Bistro Brunch sandwich and the Yardbird and waffles. The bistro brunch sandwich was on a delightfully fluffy and well toasted focaccia with egg, arugula, tomato, prosciutto and aioli. Delicious combination with sweetness from the tomato, salty from the prosciutto and savory with the egg and aioli. Would've crisped the prosciutto a little more maybe but overall great breakfast Sammy. The yardbird and waffles was amazing! The apple cinnamon butter perfect, the waffles tasted homemade with the perfect crisp and the chicken had a great thin crisp batter with juicy thick chicken inside. Overall super impressed with this, way better than the surrounding restaurants brunch they offer, and I hope maybe they consider refreshing their lunch/dinner menu with the same fresh eyes :) the misters definitely need to be on for some outside seating since they do have a great patio with a great street view for people watching. read more

Yuma, AZ an oasis of cheaper gasoline across the SoCal wasteland of +$4/G. I time my tank to be empty when I arrive, saving $20.00 then buying lunch at Prison Hill, in the bustling town center of Main Street. Service is fast and courteous. Atmosphere on the cafe patio offers cool shade, where music is perfect. I always get the brisket elote (shucked corn, cheese, jalapeños), with a pint for the road read more

This place is great. Service is usually great. Food hot and tasty. Love the brewery feel and aroma of the cooking hops and barely. Do yourself a favor and sample some of the fine beers that Chris and crew cooks up. read more

What a pleasant surprise in Yuma, AZ. It's been a while since I was here, but this downtown area is really cute! But enough about that- Prison Hill Brewing - it had the best rating on the street and the really good food. Angus beef hamburgers cooked to order, grilled onions and mushrooms-YUM! I started with elote grilled and covered with cheese. The chips were good, the salmon was beautiful. Excellent service. When I'm back I will come here again. read more

BBQ was delicious, had the meat plate. Sat at the bar and had great service, had 2 flights of beer. Cool atmosphere and fun place to visit. Beer: While I really like IPA's the 10 Rat Batards Belgian Wit was my favorite here. read more

Prison Hill is a fun environment if you are not looking for adult fun. The food and beers are good and the bar selection is on point! During the week family time is important! But on a Friday or Saturday night I don't want to be in a brewery with a high chair! I understand the community. But adults need their fun too and a place to get away! Also this St. Patrick's Day I asked the server what the specials were, she replied 'green beer'! After we received our food we seen the corned beef and cabbage come out. I guess it was only advertised in n the restroom but not on the tables for all diners to see. read more

Great variety of beers. Food choices are great. Exit the back door and smell the meat smoking in their smokers!!

Im not a burger person, and I was about to order another thing, but for any reason I just ordered a burger, and it was the best burger at least here in yuma! read more

Dog friendly spot with shaded patio and misters outside. Food was delicious and the service was good. It was just a little too hot outside in downtown Yuma for us, but they gave us water and a bowl for our pup. Ordered the brisket bowl and the yard bird with mac salad and we would stop here again if passing through Yuma. read more

Patio dining available & puppy friendly Love the theme of this place! AND the prison theme stays so consistent through everything. If you are visiting from out of town, this would be one of the places I would suggest to try!! So so Yuma! Good brews, great food, and I have always had friendly service! Definitely family friendly too. It doesn't have a "bar" feel to it, but does get pretty noisy in there. I would most certainly suggest getting the "Fish & Chips" Some of the best fish an' chips I've had! AND "The Shank" burger yum yum YUM. Also, oddly enough, they have great hot brewed coffee! Definitely gotta try some of their beers, brewed onsite!! read more

First off, the Wrecker sandwich is whack (really good!) Highly recommended. Comes with chips. The slaw and the smoked sausage are so good. The sweetness of the coleslaw with the heat of the sliced fresh jalapenos - just the right amount of heat & sweet for me. Definitely a good combo with the Valos Locos lager (No. 2). Minor ding on the sidewinder fries, as I got a thick one and it was underdone. But honestly, they're worth it - they are like a thick spiral cut fry, which is also batter dipped and fried. I liked them (hence, no ding on the overall score or recommendation!) The waitress was awesome. She definitely steered me in the right direction. The staff here is friendly, and many locals stopped in throughout the really hot (Over 100F) day. The local vibe here is really nice. Plus the music in the background is grinding (good, but not too loud). Tried the Es Bueno ESB Bitter (No. 5) and it's a bit light for me, but I'm still digging it. The multiple TVs are showing off various sports channels, and the bar is fully stocked. And I mean I counted at least 11 different flavored Smirnoff vodkas. Plus a homemade Hibiscus-flavored (bathtub?) gin? And a $10 martini made from it? Com'on, someone "roll me" in it already. Ok, they have a single malt - 12 year old Coal Il, and a *FRICK* 18 year old Bowmore? Damn. Nice. Ok, that is a definite *add* on the list of my favorite bars. I was surprised to see that here. Sure, sure, blue label Johny Walker for you posers out there. And yeah, Hibiki for those in the Suntory crowd. Ok, and they can press a growler can for those who can't get enough. Bonus for that. Food, drink, free (and decent) wifi, good service, the atmosphere rocks. Yeah, I'm sold. If you're visiting or a local, you need to try this place. Or become a regular. A++ Someone call me a cab. No, nevermind... I can walk to my hotel from here. read more

I picked up a to go order while passing through Yuma -- two sandwiches with a side of potato salad and house made chips. The tri-tip sandwich was awful. The meat was so chewy it was impossible to chew enough to swallow. On top of that, the meat was bland. The melted cheese topped on it formed a weird putty when the sandwich cooled. My boyfriend took two bites, spit out the meat, and then tossed the sandwich. The side of potato chips tasted dehydrated and had the consistency of styrofoam. It didn't look burnt, but the chips tasted that way. The potato salad was ok, nothing special. The chicken sandwich was the best thing we ordered, moist and breaded well. If I had to eat there again, I would order that. I unfortunately won't be back though. Next time I'm passing through Yuma and need a bite, I'll play it safe with fast food. read more

After all these years AND Covid - They're still banging out great food & brews Spent Prez day weekend in swingin' Yuma, our first overnight there in 3 years, despite stopping for fuel while driving between Tucson and SD every couple of weeks. It's sad that many of our favorite eateries are now gone. We decided to spend dinner on Valentine's Day at another of our Yuma favorites, Prison Hill Brewing. Well, after our 3 year hiatus, they've still got the Mojo! One of our go-to dishes there was the deep fried avocado. It's still there and just as good as ever. Lightly battered and not "gooshy", it has a really delicate flavor. I could eat that all night. Great pairing with their mainstay Chango Malo Coconut Stout. For a main, I had something previously unknown to me called "The shank", a hamburger patty stuffed with mozzarella cheese and bacon with another (bonus) battered deep-fried avocado on top. This concoction is served with lettuce and tomato, all piled on a brioche bun. - Home run! Asked for it rare and I got a beautifully cooked pink patty - tough to do for the stuffed patty combo. Bravo! It was a busy Friday night on a holiday weekend and on Valentines Day. I was ready for slow and lacking service, but to my great surprise, it was prompt, engaged and genuine. Kudos to the staff. We also didn't feel rushed or hurried. I'll make sure we're back more often. read more

We had the opportunity to stop here again - this time with a group of nine to celebrate a 95th birthday. We loved the patio seating and they were quick to bring us heaters as the sun went down. Everyone loves the food selection and beverage options. The one big complaint I have is how long it takes from time of order until service. Seriously, waiting 20 minutes for a beer - at a brewery???? It wasn't a fluke - this happened last time. And we had to chase down our server to get our food orders placed and to get our bill. They really need to figure out how to get beverages out faster. Our server was a delight, but obviously overwhelmed. If you want faster service be sure to sit at the bar! read more

Delicious brews served by great servers like Ronnie. Loved the Brussels sprouts! Appreciate when the owner stops by and says hello.

This restaurant seemed ok. The vibe is cool but the food is lack luster. I ordered the this spring roll for a quick bit before my meeting it cost me $16. For two small rolls and it was so rubbery I could hardly chew it!!!! Big dis appointment! read more

This is a pretty oldschool brewery that seems to cater more to a touristy crowd. The beer was fine. The food looked fine. Biggest bummer is that they gave me a QR code for the beer selection and when I went to the bathroom before I left I saw that they had almost double the beer on tap compared to the list on the QR code. Update your beer menus! read more

Came here with a friend for dinner. We split the nachos and the brisket bowl. The nachos were great but I loved the brisket bowl. The service was fantastic and I was really impressed with their list of nonalcoholic beverages. Will definitely be going back! read more

Great beer selection and surprisingly good food menu. Unless you are vegetarian, I see no reason to order anything other than the meat plate. I selected smoked brisket and pulled pork and I added smoked tri-tip and it was fantastic! My 2 sides I picked beans and coleslaw, both good. Had a nice table outside in afternoon shade. Kylee provided great service. Would definitely recommend! read more

Good pour and tasty food. This brewery located in the down town is definitely worth visiting. They offer good selection of beer as well as full bar options for those who prefer cocktails or wine. The food is equally good and there is plenty to choose from on the menu. We ordered sampler plate, hummus with pita, and salad with chicken. Food arrived on time and was well presented. Good seasoning and flavours. The fried chicken strips from the sampler plate were exceptionally good. Perfect crunch on the outside and succulent inside. Salad plate with shredded chicken was generous and tasty too. Service deserves six stars. read more

Nice pub with good seating inside and out. - Very good beer. Their ESB and All Day IPA hit the spot without having high ABVs. - Excellent service. - OK fish and chips.

We stopped for lunch on our way to CA. Food was fantastic. My mother said the coleslaw was the best she ever tasted. My husband had the meat plate - the smoked brisket was excellent. He also complimented the beans and the BBQ sauce. They had a couple different sour beer options which also made him happy. Service was good and wait staff friendly. We asked for our check upon receiving our food so we could get back to our travel efficiently and they accommodated. Location is close to I8. Very convenient. Indoor and outdoor seating options. read more

Cobb salad with fried chicken was delicious. Presented well, very colorful, and one of the best Cobb salads I've had. Wide selection of beers and my bartender was friendly and attentive.

This is a nice brewery! Friendly staff and a large menu. I ordered their sour, Boysen the Yard, it had a great flavor. I had a chicken sandwich, which I can only describe as fine. They make their own chips that you cannot substitute and I didn't care for them. They claimed a spicy chipotle type sauce would come with my sandwich but it was very bland, almost like a thousand island dressing. I still ate it, just could be better. My optional side was a side salad. Overall, I'd come back! read more
