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.

The staff is friendly & offers just the right amount of attention. You won't wait long to be welcomed, for your food, for a refill or for your receipt at the end of your dining experience. We started with their honey hot wings. Our party of three decided to split one of the numerous salads they offer & went with the steak & walnut salad. It includes grilled steak slices, blue cheese crumbles & crispy onion rings ( made in house) . The dressing was a light vinaigrette that made this a delicious & delightful thing to share amongst us all. For dinner we went with one of their "create your own" pizzas. Our favorite toppings are: pepperoni, garlic & basil. This was a great presentation & pie! From service to staff, to cooks in the kitchen we had a great dining experience! Everything was legit. We will be back to try a burger next time. This is a really cool place with a wide selection of outstanding food & bar beverage options. Highly recommend it.

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.

Came with some friends for dinner, one of them hadn't been before so we were glad to introduce her to this gem.

Four sticks to an order along with a small bowl of their wonderful marinara sauce. They were lightly breaded and fried to perfection and when you bit into one, you got that mozzarella pull! We decided to try the pizza salad this time around and so glad we did because it was truly delicious. Comes with an oregano vinaigrette and of course I also asked for a side of ranch (theirs is really good) and I love the combo of dressings! Again, another favorite discovered! This time we decided on the Meat-Za flat bread and it was amazing! It is made with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, Italian seasoning all on top of their most wonderful flat bread pizza crust. Really, really good! Friends got the BBQ Chicken flat bread as well as a half Elote and half Meat-Za and she loved it. The BBQ chicken was good as well so will get that one next time! The Elote we experienced previously and it is so good!!! It was busy this evening we were there but food took no time to get to us and service was what you expect!
