Be a drinking enthusiast and check out downtown Phoenix if you haven't been or haven't been back. I love that downtown Phoenix has redeveloped and brought in so many cool spots to highlight its vibrancy and cool nightlife. The Theodore is great for grabbing cocktails before a show at The Nash or coming for awesome Thai/ Laotian food offered by Phonomenal Street Eats food truck. Parking is always nutty but was able to snag metered parking around the corner. The lot closest is about $50. Bartenders are so knowledgeable, cool and pretty chill. Don't be a prick. Loved the suggestions and got to sample before I decided on the Mexican lager with pineapple while my brother had pretty much every hazy IPA on the board. Forgot to get the brewing company for my lager but definitely my top favorite. I didn't get to try the Candy Bar Milk Stout but try it and give me your feedback. I did try the candy cane stout and wasn't for me. It was syrupy and a bit too sweet for a stout but hey stay festive folks! Drink beer here at The Theodore and good things happen! read more

Had a great time at The Theodore. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredible -- welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. The music was on point, and the whole place had a great vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the night. Kori and Hilda were excellent -- attentive, upbeat, and they made sure everything was taken care of without missing a beat. And a special shout-out to Trueblood on security -- one of the best I've ever seen. He was respectful, alert, and professional, but also had a calm presence that made everyone feel safe and welcome. That's a rare combination, and he really elevated the experience. Great staff, great music, great energy. I'll definitely be back. Dan / Project NAGA read more

Good spot to meet up with friends and have a few drinks. They have a ton of beer options and they offer various pour sizes. There's a ton of seating and there's even a cozy couch area. They had a food truck when we were there also. The service was friendly and helpful. A little pricey but not too bad. read more

Amazing beer 10/10. The only thing that irks me is when you get a 6 pack of beer (often $60 a pack) they ask for a 25% tip. Like for whuuut Huns read more

This place was fun! The decor was Theodore Roosevelt themed and really cool. Very spacious, lots of seating. Came by on a Saturday around 2pm. Lots of beer on tap. What we did try was delicious. They also offer wine and beer to go. The staff was also very friendly. read more

Great location, amazing beers, and loved the aesthetic. Also, it's next to a dumpling place that was simple and delicious!

The customer service severely lacks at the Theodore. It was like once the bartender got your drink he just ignored you the rest of your visit. It's a wonderful spot and looks so nice but it's not very inviting. I would not come back and if the bartender Tony was inviting and outgoing I would've gotten a drink and my boyfriend another. read more

You can purchase beer cans to go or sit in and enjoy something on their menu. We did both. Sat on the patio and relaxed. The French Toast stout was tasty but heavy. Coconut stout to purchase was very good! Lots of seating, lounge seating, bar seating, and patio seating. Dog friendly. read more

Come here for bingo on mondays. It's such a cool little spot. Comfortable seating, great drink selection, and friendly service. People literally come with books to read or work to do and just sit drink and relax. Just come here and have a good time you will not be disappointed. read more

Love this place. It's in a nice part of downtown Phoenix, rich with culture and ambience. The Brews are delicious and the serving staff are really nice and courteous. Plus I love their merch. The parking is not great but worth it once you eventually find a spot! read more

We came by The Theodore by on our way to a concert. We decided to stop by for a drink. This was my first time here at this place on Roosevelt Row. In fact I hadn't been on Roosevelt Row in quite a while. The Theodore has outdoor seating as well and I am pretty sure it can accommodate a big crowd on a busy evening. Has plenty of seating inside and I noticed it has a lounge seating area too. Has a big tv screen to watch sports for the sports fan. The servers are very sociable with their customers as well as helpful to make your stay a good one. I would recommend a visit here if you are in the area. Parking is a bit challenging but you can find parking. The Light Rail does have a station on Central Avenue and Roosevelt Street, if you would rather not drive here. I'm sure a lot of the locals come here to cool off on a warm day. read more

We visit this place every time we are in Phoenix. On our most recent visit we came down for Arizona Craft Beer Week and the Arizona Strong Beer Festival. We made time to come here twice! It's dark and comfy inside with a bar area and a Lou he area with couches. There is also an outside patio area that sometimes has food trucks. The selection of beer on tap and beer in bottles and cans is always fantastic (and you can take it to go too)! The bartenders are knowledgeable about the products they pour and the service is always stellar. read more

When hoping around downtown Phoenix my husband and I always wind up at The Theodore and we always end up trying something new and taking it home. There are no ends to the possibilities here when it comes to Craft Beers and Delicious wines. Vibes and service are always right too! read more

I had had a great time up the street when I was directed to come to the address to find The Theodore. Not only is the bar eponymous which of course, I'm biased but picture a more upscale taproom, not only in the potables; they have wines and meads/ciders there as well but I sat in the little cubby area with the leather couch and it was nice to be able to plop down with a beer and spread out. I had had a few local beers but the amount that they had here was impressive. The non-local beers though were also pretty impressive; there has been a push with craft beers and sometimes you can tell which ones will be there. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection here. I brought my dog in and the bartender said it was dog friendly since they don't serve food and I could put him on the floor. He was just as friendly and helpful when it came to checking out local beers, like I said a lot of breweries I hadn't really heard of and it's very easy for staff to look down on you or condescend. He didn't and when it came time for me to pick up some local cans he got out from around the bar and walked me through their cooler selection. Bully for you, Theodore! read more

I've been coming to this place since it opened. It's such a welcome addition to Roosevelt Row. The bartenders are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable if you need a suggestion. They have a lot of taps for a variety of options and the environment inside is so chill that anyone can slip in and enjoy a good time. They also allow our 4-legged dog friends. Trivia night is so much fun and they usually bring isn delicious food trucks to complement the drink options. This is one of the best hang-out places downtown! read more

For the past year, The Theodore has been such a safe, comfortable, and consistently good bar that it's the only place I had been a regular. They were so cautious, in fact, they just *now* relaxed their restrictions, and might have been the last on Roosevelt to do so! What keeps me coming back is the best beer selection on the block. It is virtually nothing but microbrews, with some guest appearances from various mead, wine, hard seltzer, and sake projects. The curation of their product is always sure to include small, local booze. Think Tombstone Brewing. Or Superstition Meadery. Or any brewery in Middle-of-Nowhere, AZ, and it will have found its way here. Although it doesn't have a kitchen, you can always order delivery from local pizzerias Hot Daisy or Il Bosco. On weekends, they tend to have guest food trucks, and those are solid options as well. What ties it all together is the exceptional customer service, led by Ray, the knowledgeable dude usually serving me on the nights I show up. I can bring friends here who know next to nothing about beer, and he'll find something that makes them happy. Friends don't let friends drink bad booze, and at The Theodore, you'll enjoy some of the best in AZ! read more

The Theodore - Mead. - Beer Bar Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Stopped here after dinner (at nearby Lovesack) to enjoy a glass of wine. I had the Borealis pinot noir from Oregon. Super delicious. The open concept of the place was refreshing since it was a nice evening. The music selection was super cool if not a bit loud. It was difficult to have a conversation with those I was with. read more

As a big fan of the man himself, TR, I had The Theodore on my list for awhile. I ended up going twice within the month. The first time was after a date night at Rough Rider (the best date night spot for all TR fans!) and then the second time was after a meeting downtown on a Friday. All told, I am baffled that coming here on both a Saturday night (which happened to be First Saturday, a lively night in this district) and a Friday afternoon, I was one of only 3-4 other patrons in the place. I have no idea how this place stays in business, to be honest. But at the same time, I kind of liked the intimacy and quietness of the patio where you could tell (just a short distance off) that rowdiness was ensuing. Both times I came here, I ordered off the wall menu, only the be reminded after taking the first sip that both beers are from AZ Wilderness, diagonally across the street (highly recommend!). I felt like it would have made more sense to just go across the street to get the beer and be offered other beers that I know I already like (with a much better atmosphere). Bartenders here are "meh." On my second time here, I stood there for quite a while where one of the bartenders chatted away with a regular. All told, I may give it one more chance, but like I said, I personally would much rather go to AZ Wilderness or Pedal Haus, both very close by. read more

This place was fine, nothing special. Went on a Thursday night for trivia, which was actually a pretty fun time, and the MC was funny! There's a pizza truck outside that has some options & changes pretty often!. Lastly, the bartenders weren't the greatest, hence my 3 star review. They were very short, unhelpful, and didn't appear interested in conversation. Go for the trivia! Stay for the drinks! read more

The Theodore 110 E Roosevelt St Ste C, Phoenix AZ 85004 March 24, 2022, Sunday - Noon for drinks 4 Adults Atmosphere - 5 stars Drinks - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Spent the morning at Phoenix Zoo with friends and wanted to take them Roosevelt district to see the murals.  What a better place then a bar on Roosevelt named after the man to have a beer or two. Atmosphere - I am a history nerd.  So going to a place named after Teddy is cool.  Pictures, painting, and their logo is the extent of the history here.  Huge bar which make easy access to get your drinks.  The draft menu is on the back wall.  The draft menu is large enough to read from a distance. Drinks - They a great variety of beers here.  The menu board is even color coated to help with faster searches.  I use untappd as my beer app, which makes it even easier to find and track.  I found two great IPA's on tap, I did not even want to look at the can list.  I might have been stuck looking for a long time. First with Infinite Wild by Burgeon Beer Company and then a triple IPA the Triple-Fu! by North Park Beer Company. Service - One bartender working this afternoon.  She was great, and smart too.  She took my card over my friends.  Bonus!! Future - Love too. read more

Looks like a nice spot. Craft beer and drinks in the fridge, and quite a bit on tap, didnt look so closely but a lot of variety. Noticed Liquid Death so if you do not want alcohol they have options. I didnt actually order but was on my way to eat something. May have a drink here another time. Took a photo of the inside as the lighting and bar look interesting. read more

I loved the The Theodore. It is in a hip place of town and matches the vibe of the arts district. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and assisted me in selecting something was local and to my taste. They have non-alcoholic beverages too. Their beer coolers are full of so many options, you would be pressed to find something you did not like. read more

Impeccable vibes. Went during October and the place had fun decorations and drinks to match spooky season. Beautiful interior with a light wood and iron details, hanging greenery, and leather couches. Outside was connected to a pizza food truck and the smell was just incredible.

This place reminded me of a place back home In San Diego called Bottlecraft. The place is spacious with outdoor and indoor seating. The beer selection is pretty massive. I really liked that the beer on draft was colored coded, so you can find the beer that's right for you. The selection of craft beer was pretty large and my husband was definitely pleased. We liked that there was not a corking fee for drinking the beer purchased from the fridge. This was a huge plus. Craft beer selection was awesome! read more

The long awaited Theodore Beer Bar is now open!The owners of Wandering Tortoise and Sleepy Whale have done it again. Downtown PHX has needed a new spot to grab highly rated and sought after craft beers. I came in during their opening weekend and was very impressed. If you are looking to watch the big game here, don't bother as they do not have televisions. If you want a good vibe with great people and an atmosphere based around craft beer enthusiasts, this will be the spot for you. Their dog friendly environment is also a big bonus for me as I own three dogs. If you are not a craft beer drinker, they have a good wine and cider menu as well. Hope you check out The Theodore soon! It is calling your name. read more
