Always clean and well organized, the staff is also very friendly and attentive. Decent selection of some great local beers and some domestics for those not into craft beers.

There are also several different events throughout the week from pinball tournaments, to open mic comedy, and live music.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were hanging out with friends. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, with beer-themed decor lining the walls and a lively group of people enjoying the soccer game on TV. We grabbed a high-top near the beer fridge and were checking out the menu online when Saad, who was working behind the bar, came over to introduce himself and welcome us in. His energy was awesome - super friendly and easygoing - and he made us feel right at home. He checked in to see if we had any questions, which was a nice touch. We tried a bunch of different beers, both from the taps and the cooler, and honestly loved them all. You can tell they're really passionate about craft beer here. We'll definitely be back- this place is a gem!

I was out running errands on a Wednesday night and was in the mood for a good cheesesteak. Decided…read moreto pull out my phone. and instead of using Yelp, I actually just punched cheesesteak into Waze, and what do you know?! I ended up finding the cheesesteak joint. This is actually a food truck, which is parked on the side of the Tipsy Catcus, which is a really cool brewery I also checked out while I was waiting for my order. This is a really chill brewery, and not a huge spot. Maybe 8 to 10 high top tables with bar seating, and a mostly open floor plan. They have a small patio too, with what looks like about another tables but because I visited at night, nobody was outside. They also seem to be extremely dog friendly as they had one table with a really chill cocker spaniel completely laid out on his side in the middle of the floor. I'm not sure how many taps they had in total, but definitely more than 40 I would say. I'm not a big beer drinker, so I ordered a cider. The cider I was served was on tap and really tasty. And it definitely hit the spot of terms of price point. One thing to note, while I was talking to the owner/manager of the tipsy cactus (shout to him because he was really cool), he told me that Friday night and Saturday nights are usually popping so I wouldn't expect to be first in line on any of those nights. It also looks like they rotate food trucks on different nights, so don't assume that the cheesesteak truck is going to be here every night. I would check the tipsy cactus website, or Instagram page to be sure. I'll definitely be looking forward to checking this place out again in the future, especially if I'm hitting one of the food trucks parked outside.

I stopped by Pedal Haus Biergarten on a Friday evening an hour or so before close. Located in…read moredowntown Mesa, I didn't have trouble finding a free parking spot on the street. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pedal Haus has a nice patio when the weather cooperates (it was summer when I stopped by so it was a no-go), so we ended up sitting inside. It's not a huge brewery, with some high tops and seating at the bar. We sat at the bar. Pretty much your typical brewery vibe... chill. Service (4.5/5): Friendly, attentive, and efficient service. Exactly what I look for. A job well done. Food (N/A): We ate prior, so we were on a liquid diet. Drinks (4/5): I love going to breweries to have a flight so I can try a nice variety of their beers. Which is exactly what I did beer. A good number of their beers are IPAs or dark beers which aren't my style. Luckily, there were still four beers that were right up my alley for a flight... typically I have a greater selection of brews that interest me. All good though because the brews I had were tasty. We also shared a margarita beer which was cool. Always fun when a brewery has liquor too. Phoenix has a lot of cool breweries. I'm glad I got to check this one out!

I love that they have a huge bar, lots of outside seating and a mix of tables and couch/chairs. The tap list is extensive. I do wish they had more beers from PNW. It was about a 50/50 mix with Arizona beers. There are so many great breweries and very few were represented. I didn't try the food but what I saw looked great.

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!

It was practically empty when me and my friend came in, so we sat at the bar and were offered samples if we wanted to try anything before buying a pint. The person working was so kind, and understanding of our chattiness hahaha! The value was good as well, reasonable pricing for good draft beer! It's definitely a pub, not a restaurant vibe, so that's something to keep in mind. There is plenty of parking, and the bathroom was very clean. I really enjoyed all the card/board games available for people to use and I'll definitely be trying that out next time I'm in the area!

Parking is going to be a problem, I'm here for lunch at 1:30pm & there's no parking in the rear. They are in between century link colo & a series of reserved parking spots. The front is right on the main street with the train in the middle, so maybe there's a lot for parking nearby that in not aware of. The venue really looks promising. The food.... eh. I had the birria French dip with fries; the fries looked good with the crust & texture, they were like warm & have a strange aftertaste, it's ok because I shouldn't be eating too many fries & maybe it's the "duck fat". ‍ The French dip was not my style, very disappointed, but it could just be me.

I ended up going with the cabernet after tasting it and seeing that a new bottle was being opened for one of the other guys I mentioned earlier.

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.
