We had brunch at the Greedy Hamster today. Four glasses of wine and three brunch items. I liked the variety on the wine menu, all of our selections were good. We had a couple of skillets and a toast. The skillets were cute (small) with a price to match - Win-win for me! The toast was flavorful and spicy - Yum! We give the visit three thumbs up! read more

Wonderful spot for food and drinks. We came here on a Friday night and it was busy but not overly crowded. The sushi restaurant next door had a DJ so we enjoyed some music as well. Rather small inside but the outside seatings are great. They also have a room across from the restaurant for more space. Brandon was brilliant. He is so helpful and made us feel very welcomed. We had a variety of beers and food and they are all great! We didnt planned to have dinner here but the open faced toasts are so good we had to order other things on menu to try. We left full and happy. read more

Loved this place! Super friendly staff and a great place to grab a drink with a friend or go by yourself (like me) for a bite and to watch a game. Very chill vibes, a good crowd, great food options, and lots of different beers to try. I'll definitely be back for their Wednesday beer club nights! read more

Decent food, on both Panini Chicken & Beef. The drink menu is really nice with many variety selections of wines and beers (some locals). Service is good -- Brandon is very friendly & good communicating since he seems to be the only person runs the show. It has a cool vibes with up-beat musics and dogs friendly. The parking situation is a bit tricky -- few spots reserved for the restaurant -- not sure where to park if these reserved parking are not available. We enjoyed out dining, just had a little trouble with the parking spot. read more

Come for the excellent curated wine and beer list and find yourself staying for the warm convivial vibes and customer service. If you arrive a stranger you will definitely leave feeling like a regular. Love supporting a great local small business too. I highly recommend the chicken liver pate, but all the tapas here are yummy! read more

We stopped by on a whim and had 2 pizzas, the Caesar salad and beers. Both pizzas we ordered, the Margherita and the Baci White Pizzas were amazing. Light crisp crust and very fresh toppings. Our server Brandon was very friendly and we had fun hanging out on the patio and listening to music. We will definitely be back! read more

Just love it here. From the second you arrive Trish and Larry welcome you like family. The selection of wine and beer is vast. If the bottle is open... you can sample it. Today I did the Bruschetta. The Lox was fantastic. On Noble Bread with just the right amount of cream cheese/capers/dill. The apple and goat cheese and pepper were fantastic as well . 2 great wines to complete my visit. A must if you love a great place... good vibes and awesome Libations!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Friendly , knowledgeable staff. Amazing food and drink with a large amount of options that are all complimentary to the setting and tastings. One of the few places where we can all find things we like as a group with mixed tastes. Small and quaint with a relaxed atmosphere that is aesthetically pleasing. read more

Brandon was amazing! He explained where the name came from very informative food was great for a light dinner. Great intimate atmosphere. Thanks Branden the Birthday Man was happy!. read more

Brandon, Larry, Trish are so great such a great neighborhood place to hang out. Would definitely recommend that you go there!! Always a great time!! read more

Came to the Greedy Hamster at about 8 on a Sunday night. There were only about 2 other parties eating at this time, and both was finishing up. I ordered the traditional 12' Pepperoni, bacon, and mushroom pizza. The pizza was good, especially for the price of 15$. My only issue with this visit was that it took 45 minutes to get my pizza, which seemed excessive considering i was the only customer with an order at the time. Greedy hamster has a cool atmosphere, the inside looks like a dive bar but also has outdoor seating as well. read more

The owners (Larry and Trish) are some of the greatest people you'll meet. They are full of stories and genuine fun. More than fair price points and a very welcoming energy. Wine selection is good and they are very involved in the community which is always a plus. Truly a great place to come and support. There is outdoor seating as well and they have a wine club that does some really fun wine nights. If you're in the neighborhood this is the perfect place to come and try some new wines and catch up with a pal without any pressure. Super laid back and cozy vibe. if we weren't in the literal desert I would've thought this was a cool beach bar. The music is also always on point which I always appreciate. read more

The outdoor seating was a great choice for the season--just a bit breezy through the plaza corridor, but there's shelter behind the cushioned benches. The sunset was a nice touch, with pink skies and palm trees to the west and cloudy blue skies to the east. The music was a little loud but not a dealbreaker. Pizza was about a 6.5/10--not bad, but I'll have to try more menu items next time. Big plus for happy hour running until 6:30! Shoutout to Brandon for his fantastic hospitality--really made the experience better. I didn't go inside, but it looked cozy. Overall, solid vibes, good drinks, and a place I'd come back to for hh read more

A wine bar, but not a fancy one. I came here for a date night and had a good time. I think I was expecting something upscale because it's a wine bar but it was very laidback, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a very small and casual bar. My partner and I split a bottle of wine and ordered food. The hummus plate was delicious. The only con is the size of the place. It's very small so when the kitchen is in use it gets hot in there, we moved over to their lounge which had more space and better AC. The staff was friendly and helpful with their suggestions. I'll come back again. read more

The Greedy Hamster - Phoenix - Wine and beer - Wine Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cozy lil place with a surprisingly diverse menu of food offerings. Wine and beer bar, liquor drinkers go elsewhere if you cannot enjoy a glass of wine of a cold beer. Nice shady outdoor patio and seating, accentuated nicely with lights. They have a larger room right across the path. They do beer clubs, wine clubs, and other events. Limited parking is one of the knocks on this place. And also hard to locate if you're unfamiliar, as the designated parking spots are behind the building around the back. What you can expect though that makes up for it is charm, friendly service from the bartender and cook, intimate setting, aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, and tons good food at good prices. read more

Stopped in for Wednesday happy hour as my friend and I hadn't been here since the change in name/management. Service was great and Brandon was super friendly behind the bar. Tons of interesting and fun wines to pick from and beers both on tap and in cans to suit any preference. They have an awesome deal on Wednesday for a pitcher of beer and a pizza or bruschetta board for only $20. While the beer was delicious the pizza was just so so (my husband said the leftovers tasted like Dominos). For being made in a fancy looking little oven and having fresh dough/ingredients it honestly lacked much flavor. Still giving this place 5 stars as I came here for beer and just decided to try the food because of the special deal - I'll just order a small snack and skip the pizza next time. Great vibe here and I'm sure I'll be back. read more

I gave this place several tries, but the service and food isn't as good as other places within half a mile. It's a fun wine menu, but some are quite pricey ($17/glass). The food menu is decent but the portions are small for what you get and not very flavorful. They seem to cater to regulars from the condos next door who come & go with open tabs. One guy sat at the bar on a very loud FaceTime call and the owner just "bro'd out" with him. We had to ask him to lower his voice and that pissed him off. Finally, there's no service. You have to go to the bar to order anything or ask for your tab. Postino is infinitely better and right up the street. The Henry, Windsor & Joyride are all better and nearby as well read more

Found this little hole in the wall mom and pop place and was so overly pleased with service and the food that I had to leave a review ! Definitely hard to spot from the road . But worth searching for and sitting at ! Highly recommend.! read more

Cute little bar tucked back off of Central. Does not face street. Generous list of wines by the glass and great mix of select beers handles. Definitely not the place for bigger crowds but great for a group of 4 or less. Has patio seating and an annex across the way w server checking up on you pretty often. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Super laidback place, perfect for a Friday :) sat outside and had some GREAT food! Wow, everything we had was great. I believe his name was Brandon but he was super on top of it, gave recommendations, and seemed to love his job. This is a perfect neighborhood spot. Come here or you're missing out! read more

This place has always been a wonderful spot for a glass of wine to cheers to a successful day (or to unwind after a tough one). The staff is friendly and the wines are great. Cute little place with a good vibe. Plus, they have Press Coffee- so it's a win all around. read more

This place is super cute! I love that it's such a casual wine place with such friendly staff. Their food is actually good and relatively inexpensive too which is awesome. Beer and wine only! read more

Lotta stuff packed into a tiny bag. But there is extra space outside and across the breezeway. It's basically a very cozy mom and pop place with a decent happy hour and a cool little menu. Add a star if you are local. read more

Love this neighborhood gem that is small in size but big on flavor and service. It's a relaxing, dog friendly, with friendly dogs, great selection of wine and beer. The food is so yummy with every type of bruschetta you can want. Going to check out the brunch and Tuesday Trivia. I'll let you know how it goes! read more

This little beer and wine bar (with inexplicably cheap yet delicious food) is the kind of place that everyone wants around the corner from their house. An eclectic wine list will have you asking lots of questions about what each one is like as you probably haven't heard of most, but each selection is curated and there for a (good) reason . Would be nice if they had a more detailed written description but this is the kind of place where the staff will know what each one is, so ask away. The $11 pitcher is the way to go @ $3 less than two pints. Would recommend that the owner upgrades from current cheap plastic ridge pitchers (exact ones Pizza Hut and dive bars had 40 years ago) to smooth glass ones that most decent places use now. Plastic feels cheap. Glass is healthier and makes everything better. They have an event space across the patio. Nice patio with a couple windows that open so you can belly up to the outdoor bar when they're open. With the cost of everything going up I hope you check out this place for food and drink, which are both priced well under market. read more

Yeah sadly came here to grab some food but don't be surprised the bartender was nice enough but clearly 2 pretty girls are more important than waiting customers after waiting 20 mins and being told he would be right with me he moved on took their order and started making them drinks doubt I will ever be back! read more

We came to celebrate a college graduation. What a FANTASTIC experience!!! The owners were so accommodating to our large party. One of them even played a card game with the younger grandkids. Every menu item was outstanding. Sandwiches, pizza and entrees all tasted delicious. The atmosphere and the attention made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. We were all from out of town, so we took a chance on the place, so glad we did. It is a pleasure to frequent somewhere that folks enjoy doing what they do. I recommend The Greedy Hamster emphatically. read more

That was a *really* good sandwich, and it was reasonably priced too. The bartender was also very helpful and friendly, helping me pick out a drink from their quite eclectic menu. Can't give anything but 5 stars. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious ~ Service is always prompt and with a smile! Ambiance is small, yet inviting and because of that, everyone meets everyone and they all get along! Dog friendly; couldn't be a better spot to stop by for lunch, happy hour, a light supper or weekend brunch!!!! read more

Nice cozy little hideaway in Uptown. Food is tapas just so you can better enjoy their great wine and beer selections. Service is on-point as its intimate setting allows for the server to see, and serve everyone. Cozy bar, and relaxing patio. read more

Best happy hour spot in the Uptown area (Camelback and Central) guaranteed. Join the wine club and you definitely won't regret it! Larry and Trish have created a very pet friendly and cozy environment; the euphoria reaches an incredible level as you enter the bistro because it feels like you are walking into a sauna as everyone warms you with their smiles and friendly banter. Shout out to the rest of the staff: Brandon, Tori, Tana, Mel and Rico for serving a fantastic range of wines and great pizza and other bar snacks. read more

Brandon is an excellent, hard-working dude that's passionate about everyone's experience being positive. Good beer selection and decent food for what minimal equipment/space they have. We will be back. read more

Went in for happy hour last Friday. Tiny place but we were able to get seated right at bar but it did fill up quickly. The bartender was knowledgeable and made great recommendations when asked. Had a couple of the appetizers & given the size of the very small kitchen - what came out of it was good. Once it's patio weather again it will be nice to try it out & enjoy the outside space. read more

The vibes were amazing and service was super friendly. Came for happy hour and ordered the pitcher which was amazing but decided to order the bruschetta which was an amazing deal and tasted so great. Will definitely go back. read more
