    There was no real "food" here till the taco truck guy showed up as this is more of a tap and bottle room. As we walked in we were greeted by Collin and never pressured to order. Listening Collin was helpful to every customer by making valid suggestions based on their likes and dislikes. Inside this location is very homey and very friendly. All the customers had no problem chatting. The venue is great and comfortable

    This place is always a great time. Tons of options on tap + more. Great place to hangout for a couple of hours and super dog friendly! Cheers!!

    This is my and my wife's favorite place to try new beers, sours or even go for the frozen drank. They are dog friendly, have the best rotation of new stuff on tap and in the cooler for takeout. Nice and airy layout, rather than some dark, dank dungeon elsewhere. No kitchen here, so no food menu. That said, they occasionally have a pizza vendor or other food offering on site. And they allow you to bring food in - you can even get a discount at the place next door!! Nice place downtown to have a drink and talk to your partner or friends. A good to meet new friends too. And the bartenders have always been really cool. Love this place just the way it is!!

    No food, unless you consider drinking your calories with the pleasure of craft beer is enough ! The ambiance share a common vibe to something you would see on a coastal side. A brew spot with the garage doors, wooden bar top and stateless steel berms. Straight out of a boat dock, and right into your experience. The hospitality is awesome and inviting. 28 on tap and more cans than you can imagine in the fridge from all over. A great spot to suit anyone. Wine served as well

    Excellent beer and cider selection. Service was average, almost indifferent but that's ok our drinks stayed filled and the chips and salsa was excellent.

    This is really a cute little place! They only serve beer and wine, but they have a large selection of beer. They don't serve any drinks so don't come in there asking for a spicy margarita like I did! But they do have an extensive beer list. The ambience is really cool And the atmosphere is laid-back. There's no food offered either but on the weekends they do have food trucks that come in. It's a cute place. I'd go back if I'm just looking for a place for a glass of wine or beer. I don't drink a lot of beer. Wine is my thing.

    Great location, ambiance, beer selection, and service. My boyfriend comes here with his friends who's daughter did a girl scout cookie beer pairing event here! I mean come on... girl scout cookies and beer pairing?!?! I'm in! Great event! This place is dog friendly, they have large tables for large groups, and a plethora of board games. Come check it out!

    Came here for North Park Brewery tap take over. They have a great selection of beers and a small selection of wines. It was a busy night with a mobile pizza out front and Girl Scout cookies for sale. Brilliant idea mom and dad! they sold a lot! Anyhow....North Park had some amazing hazy IPA's. My wine was a Zin that was smooth and yummy. The selection of cans and bottles to go was decent. It was very loud inside. Music was up a bit too much causing people to talk louder. This was a great place and worth the visit. Close to the Perch and DTC sports Grille

    This has been on my list to visit forever. Finally decided to stop in. So glad we did. This place is a fantastic spot to enjoy a craft beer. They have a good selection and some of my favorite breweries (pure project, fieldwork, wren house). And they have wine which I love as well. I have been on a beer break but decided to have one, when in Rome! Cute dog hanging back near the wine. And it was busy but not packed. Staff behind the bar is friendly. Menu is color coded for beet types. Beer fridge has some nice choices. We tried the Cloud Mountain DIPA by Pure Project and Salted Seabreeze sour by Fieldwork. Both really great! Easy 5 stars. Cheers!

    What's a gorgeous establishment to grab a drink with friends or family! My friend and I visited this location as she only lives 1-2 miles away, and she loves to grab a casual pint here. After a long week, it was much needed. The bartender was patient as we looked over the menu, and was friendly. There is not food at this location to my knowledge, but they have a great selection of beers, wines, meads, seltzers, and other beverages. They also have games you can play, so it's definitely a welcoming place to take friends, have a date, etc. I am sure I'll return since my friend lives so close, and we really enjoyed our drinks.

    First time visiting, always have drove by and was curious about this spot! Love me some IPAs and they have a huge selection of beers & to go beers. There is also non alcoholic drinks. Staff was friendly, space was very spacious and even have outdoor seating with pets allowed! Plays good music too! Will be back.

In 2025 we couldn't stop raving about this place the food was amazing the service was impeccable. This last visit this weekend was disappointing. My partner ordered the beef wellington which was excellent and I ordered the duck which was...unexpected. The black cherry confit seemed non-existent, I think I actually got the same sauce that was on the Wellington. I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure and the duck was prepared well so I just let it go. The creme brulee dessert was a disaster. The first order came out black and I told the waiter there was something wrong with it immediately. He had mentioned he was new so I'm guessing he wasn't sure what it was supposed to look like. I tried to crack into it and the top just molded with the spoon so I asked him to take it back because it was not right. I watched him show it to someone, who I was told was the owners son, and they sent another. The owners son dropped it off the table and said, this should be more to my liking and walked away. Well it was only slightly less burnt but it did crack so I tried it. Sugar was definitely burnt, you could taste it, and the custard was dripping wet instead of solid. I showed this to the other waiter who was helping and she understood immediately and took it back. She said let's just get you the lava cake instead and I said fine. It's too bad because the flavor on the custard itself was excellent and I was really looking forward to it. Needless to say I was disappointed when the dessert was not taken off the bill after all we had been through with it. I expect more when dinner for two costs almost $200.

Our server, Mary, was pleasant and efficient and answered questions and made a few suggestions, which was appreciated. Wife tried the Stone Sour cocktail and liked it, although she isn't a big whisky drinker. I had water and we shared the side Caesar Salad, which was very delicious. The dressing was perfect with that tang of lemon and hint of anchovy. Our friend ordered the chopped wedge, which tasted delicious. Both salads were fresh, dressed well and exactly as described on the menu. Wife had her favorite Proscuitto & Fig Pizza, which was cooked to perfection with some of those wonderful char bubbles on the crust. I had the fish and chips, which I wish I had sent back in hindsight. The fish was extremely overdone, the crust rather thick and you can tell the oil wasn't hot enough because it was also a tad greasy. This is the first time I've had this dish here and will not try it again. I'm a huge fish & chips fan and there are many other places that make this to perfection. I did mention the overdone fish to the manager and she took my plate and said she would let them know. "Them" being the cooks? Not sure...the dish also comes with cole slaw, which I didn't care for...I actually found the cabbage to be bitter and just overall not very good. The wedge fries were very good, wish they were cooked a bit more but overall the best part of the dish! I also didn't care for the tarter sauce, found it to be a tad tasteless. The wife always order her favorite prosciutto & fig and typically the flatbread but got the pizza today. She was happy! Everyone else who ordered also said their food was "good"...but we agreed nothing to cheer about. Overall an ok experience today. The fun ending with Mary bringing Happy Birthday desserts to the two people celebrating was a great and sweet gesture. She brought enough spoons for sharing. We were headed elsewhere for dessert so I didn't try any of it.

This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot
