I love this little local wine and beer pub. They have a cool horseshoe bar with tons of games on the bar. Tiffany is super sweet and has an amazing voice. The first time I came was on a Tuesday and they had karaoke. This most recent time was on a Thursday but I really wanted to sing. When my friend and I got there it was not crowded so Tiffany offered to put the karaoke on!!! I was so happy! No KJ needed lol. Many regs were there and were super nice. I'll definitely return here again and again. read more

Service is great! The tiny little place is very cozy and a great pub vibe. Downsides: no food; no beer on tap. Everything is canned or bottled. read more

Great cozy and local vibe compared to the other locations. Lauren is super friendly and helpful too!

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. They have Happy Hour everyday from open-7pm. I had a hard time deciding; beer or wine. They had a Tempranillo which I really enjoy. However, I chose beer during this visit. The bartender was sweet and we trusted her suggestions. She made each selection for us and we enjoyed each of our drinks. We spent a few hours. It's a pretty small space, a few couples filled it rather quickly. It never felt too crowded while we were there. They offer small snacks and you can order food and have it delivered if you wish. read more

This is my ride-or-die local bar. They have an amazing selection of beer and wine. No one behind a Phoenix bar - and I mean no one - pours their heart out into an excellent guest experience like Tiffany. She and her team go out of their way to make you feel at home. read more

Right off Bethany in a small shopping strip mall. Such an amazing selection of beer to choose from . Prices are pretty good, bottles only. If you can make it for Happy hour the prices are even better. If you get lucky enough to get the bearded bartender, he is very knowledgeable about all the beers and will get you exactly what you're looking for! Sorry about the blurry beer selection, guess I had a few to many. read more

Fantastic selection and the bartenders are great at giving recommendations. Always something new and exciting! And lots of games to keep you occupied while you sip. Bonus points for stellar music selection read more

Love this place, great service. Good beer and wine selection. Good ambiance especially on their karaoke days.

Why do I like the whining pig? It is a very quaint and casual establishment. Walking in it feels like Cheers from television and also like your home. Everybody seems accepted right away and you build bonds. Both the wine and beer lists are well conceived with a wide array of offerings to please almost any palate. They have quite a selection of games that you can sit and play and challenge your mind, as you get intoxicated and think about calling your Uber. My wife and I just enjoy those neighborhood down home feeling establishments and this is definitely one of those. We really enjoyed our time here as it was our 1st visit and we will be back again. Thank you for the hospitality we really enjoyed it and meeting the proprietor as well as Gretchen. #irishcatv2 read more

Great local watering hole for craft beer enthusiasts or if you want to have a fun time with a small group. ___D R I N K S___ This unassuming little bar boasts an impressive selection of beers. They somehow managed to get a hold of some amazing craft beers I haven't seen since living on the east coast and other beers I've only encountered while visiting Chicago. I asked some locals how the owner is able to acquire such beers and they just claimed the owner is a wizard. Lol ok. They also offer wine, mead, sake, and other drinks. I'd stick with beer here. ___F O O D___ If all you want are snacks, they have you covered. No meals here, but you are free to bring in food. ___A M B I A N C E___ It's a neighborhood spot. Plenty of boardgames. Seating around the bar. There are no tables so the space isn't great for large groups. ___S E R V I C E___ Friendly and efficient. I always had something to drink. I probably would've rated this 3-4 stars is their tap list wasn't as good. I'll definitely consider stopping by again next time I visit Phoenix. read more

Good place for beers, but very tight and crowded. When you walk in, it's just a bar with seats around the bar. Lots of different beers to choose from, something for everyone. IPA, sours, hops, ales, porters...etc. Bartender was nice and friendly. I went with Orange Blossom, which is a locally brewed beer. It was fresh and crisp. There are games around the bar area to play while you drink, which is fun. Food selection is small, just a few different grilled cheeses to pick from, read more

Stopped in this past Thursday night. Was warming welcomed. Love the vibe here. I've only been once before. After looking over the menu my friend ordered the mystery wine and I ordered my choice. Mine tasted very off. For $12 I decided to say something. The bartender tried it and agreed.. it had turned. No problem. Here is another glass. She apologized and couldn't have been nicer. That is one of the many reasons I will return! Awesome place!! read more

Best bar in midtown. Love this place. Met most of my closest friends here. Great beer selection. Great prices. Great bartenders.

The bartenders are fantastic and great selection of beer and wine. Highly recommended!

Decent enough spot but it's a shame they got rid of a lot of their fun specials. They used to offer a mystery wine (red or white, you can specify) that the bartender chooses. No longer offered, the new bartenders working have never even heard of it, look at ya like you're stupid. Also, no longer offering the grilled cheese sandwiches they were known to serve for so long. A damn shame. Also no more fudge brownies. No more fun art on the chalkboard. Idk, new ownership, I ain't digging the changes. read more

Nope. What happened to all the good bartenders? New ones aren't good. Selection has gone downhill

server tried to charge us double when we went to pay the bill. A very large selection of beer and wine, limited food to order however the cheese board was amazing, Not very many friendly folks there we haven't been there in quite some time and wanted to stop in for something to eat before heading home read more

Meat and Cheese Plate $14: I wasn't super hungry for dinner, so charcuterie and a glass of wine sounded like a good idea to me. I think even on a more empty stomach I would've found this filling. I definitely think it's good for 2 people to share! I was there around 8:30 PM on a Wednesday and the board said they were out of grilled cheeses. If you have your heart set on that plus a glass of wine, maybe call ahead to double check. As far as I know, everything is written on the huge chalkboard, rather than a printed menu. This suggests their selection changes often. It was hard for me to see everything, but I was in the mood for a moscato and they only had one choice for that anyways. The bartender, Andrew, did seem knowledgeable if you needed recommendations. The place is relatively small. I didn't notice any tables, just the kind of U-shaped bar, and I think there was a counter with seating along one wall. Still, it's a chill spot to stop by for a glass or 5 of wine and catch up with friends or a date! ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

WHAT A SPOT. Came here with my brother after eating and drinking. We were looking for the next place to hit up and came across this place on Yelp. We expected a big bar with lots of people and lots of games. To our surprise, the bar was really small with maybe about 10 seats and that's it. All their games are scattered around - but easy to locate. The beer selection here is INCREDIBLE. So many beers and best of all is that its super affordable. What made the night was the bartender - extremely funny and down to earth. I would come here all the time if I could. read more

Heard so many great things about this spot, so without further ado we made a visit before dinner! This is the original establishment located on the northeast corner of Bethany Home and 16th street. Very small and quaint spot that has its menu of beers and wines on a chalkboard that covers the one side of the wall!All sorts of card and board games lined up on the bar to make the time pass as you drink your alcoholic beverage of choice! We both had a glass of red wines, and since we went during happy hour I had a $5 tall glass of wine that was delicious and did not taste cheap at all. Bravo to the staff for making us feel comfortable and talk loud as if in a regular dive bar while drinking some vino. Took home a brownie slice that was tasty! Had like peanut topping that was unique and delicious! Excited to see how new locations are opening up in different parts of The Valley ! Cheers! read more

This is a local's favorite hang out, the beer offerings is endless and they always have some new to try and a few of our go to favorites. They are always crazy friendly and a great atmosphere to relax with a cold beverage. read more

Food and service was great. Really enjoyed myself with staff was fantastic. I am really looking forward to going back.

If this place was in the Bay Area, you bet I'd be going regularly. A tiny little place with mostly seats around the bar in a U shape and 1 bartender/host, it is definitely a cozy place. They have everything good in my book: decent wine selection, great beer selection, lots of board games, reasonable pricing, fun chalk art on the wall and cute trinkets all over the place. Our bartender was really cool and gave excellent suggestions for IPAs because that's what my BF loves to drink. I've been getting into beer a little more recently and loved each of the beer he suggested. Hop Juice was one of the best ones and he also poured me a strawberry cider that was super delicious without being too sweet. You can tell regulars frequent this place as the bartender/host/partial owner chats up with each of his patrons in a relaxed, friendly way. We played Connect Four like champs and had way too much fun. We were going to bar hop that night but this place was so great that we ended up staying until past 2am. Even though the bar closed at 2am, our bartender was super chill and just let everyone hang out without rushing people out the door. Man, I love this place. read more

One visit and I'm an instant fan. Great little (really little) beer & wine bar. The fact that it's so cozy lends to how vivacious it can be when a a few happy, talkative patrons are there. I wanna say it's divey, but it's not really divey. The pros: -- Tons, tons and more tons of craft beers. I love craft beers, so tons of craft beers is great great stuff. -- Great bartending. My bartender was 100% on his game, even though the bar was full. -- $4 White Bag Special. Order a white bag special and you get the bartender's choice. He'll select a canned craft beer, place it in a white paper bag and plop it down in front of you. Taking chances can be fun, and it's a good time trying to guess what it is that you're drinking before you take a peek at the label. -- Games. Try your hand at some timeless Trivial Pursuit, play with various and sundry toys, whatever. Keeps it fresh. I'll stop in again for sure. Probably several more times :) read more

This is got to be one of the best hangout bars in Phoenix with superb craft beer and amazing food. The people here are extremely nice and welcoming. When we came in we had a few really awesome beers and sat down and had some food which was incredible. I literally had the best grilled cheese I've ever had in my life. The waitresses were tremendous and the service staff were 1st class. I felt very comfortable hanging out and will be coming back very very soon. read more

My most favoritist, tiniest bar in Phoenix. I'm big on bold red wine and Tony loves a good double IPA. This is a great place for whatever you're in the mood for (beer or wine). They're doing a great job with social distancing also. The space was clean and our bartender was super fun and attentive. read more

I came out here on a Thursday night with my husband to have some drinks and check out downtown. We came here based on the numerous positive reviews. The pros of this place: TONS of drink options (sangria, beers, hard liquor, and even special bar concoctions), amazing chalk art on the walls and a bunch of unique game choices to play while you drink The main opportunity for improvement for me would be more attentive service, especially during "happy hour". My group of three was able to each order a beer and our bartender did not return until happy hour was over - this is a Thursday and the bar was decently crowded. At that point most of the people in group had already given up hope of getting the bartender's attention to order more drinks read more

You can easily have a conversation with anyone in the bar due to its "homey size" On the weekends, you had better get their early. The joint fills up fast and doesn't quite down all night. read more
