My last night is the city of Mesa and I wanted to go out so I ended up here because it was close to…read moremy hotel and also close to my final destination. I was confused by my burger because I ordered one that was supposed to have some special sauce but I didnt taste it. It was still good though. I had a few beers and a scotch and I was pretty happy. They were supposed to have karaoke but I didnt see any singing happening. They had lots of TV and pool tables. Decent place, I wish it was a little bit more lively.

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.

Focusing seating around the focal point, the big bar area. Atmosphere is pleasant, spacious and welcoming! Decent selection of food options. Huge draft, craft beer selection. 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.

Great food and a good place to have some drinks. Looking to come back again to try more of the menu.read more

This is a Korean pub. Soooo cute. They had a "Christmas tree" made out of Soju bottles! Sooo smart, so creative! I think I should do that next year. But yea, no thanks my dog will knock that down in an instant and it won't be pretty. We chose 6 different items to share. We all had different types of Soju, but I can't remember which ones. Some were specials, so I don't remember (yikes...did we drink that much). Food: fried Mandu (potstickers), french fries, parmesan garlic mandu, salt & pepper shrimp and tteokbokki, chicken wings (pina flavor), pineappple fried rice, and pork belly salad (had to have some greens)

So many cool games to play, lots of drink choices, and an inviting atmosphere makes this place a great venue to visit for a night out with friends or even a solo visit! Unfortunately, that is only when this place is functioning properly. The food is really not great, but my biggest gripe by far about this place is the service. I have gotten good service maybe three times.Every other time the servers either do not come to us, take extremely long, or are rude and acting like we're messing up their day by asking for basic customer service. Just the other day my friend and I ordered tower station. When we received the beers, they were absolutely not tower station. We asked to switch beers and our first server was very kind and accommodating. Then out of nowhere came this (im assuming supervisor?) that said "what happened with the beers? I checked the keg its fine." with a super rude attitude. It was so awkward my whole friend group talked about it afterwards. Additionally, I don't think I have ever had the same server/bartender twice. The turnover rate is likely very high. This place has so much potential. I really wish the owners took its management seriously and hired some competent servers. Want to rate it higher.

I…read moretold the bartender it was my first time there let him know what kinda beers i enjoy and he let me taste some recommendations before i set on a drink! the whole experience felt super great! nothing worse than getting a beer you don't even like so i super appreciated it!! would definitely come back for some delicious brews ! ps THEY HAVE A WATER STATION!! and the bathroom looks cool lol

With a name like Chupacabra Taproom, I couldn't say no. I attended a concert at the Mesa Arts…read moreCenter on a Tuesday evening. I was looking for a bar that was open late close to the venue. Chupacabra was open, was a three-minute drive, and had excellent reviews. So my decision was made. I parked on the street for free a minute away on foot. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical beer bar. Relatively small inside, but they also have a patio out front with picnic style seating. Casual. My type of bar. My only complaint? I hate picnic style seating because it doesn't give you back support. Which made me want to avoid the patio. Service (5/5): Super friendly service. The guy working the bar did a great job. I ordered one beer and called it a night. A seamless experience from beginning to end. They also have complimentary water in a water cooler, which is always a nice ou Food (N/A): I read they have food trucks, but I didn't see any when I visited. I had dinner prior anyway. Drinks (4.5/5): I love trying new beers and Chupacabra has an excellent selection. They have a rotating screen above the bar. Some interesting brews, ranging from local craft brews to quality European beers. This is not the type of place that has your typical assortment of mediocre beers. You'll find a lot better here. Overall, a cool spot in downtown Mesa. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the neighborhood!

I wanted to get a review in as ojos locos deserves some Yelp love…read more THIS IS A SPORTS CANTINA (BAR) You come here to drink and watch sports first. Don't come here expecting gourmet food, this isn't why they are here. You come here to hear loud music, drink, eat appetizers and basic food. They have happy hour deals and it looks like they have a "danceclub" deal as well. The servers are all ladies and they are in lingerie, so be aware of that. Again know what you want and what you are getting into. Thanks!

Mi girl pidió el street corn and said it was pretty good-no estaba todo empapado en mayo, so you could actually taste elote. I got the nachos, but it was literally 8 chips...like,they were basically mini tostadas. Good, but not nachos you can share. We also ordered chips and guac Sabroso, but they filled half the container with lettuce. A total filler so that was disappointing. The mixed drinks? Weak af and super sweet. I ended up switching to a beer, which was okay, pero no estaba bien fría. The vaso was colder than the beer. What really killed it for me was no prices anywhere. Had to ask for prices and even the mesera had to double check. That made the bill hit harder than expected, and not in a good way. Lowkey, maybe I'd pull up again if it's a theme night or las morritas traen algo loco puesto--nomás pa' echar el ojo, ya tú sabes. Ambiente is cool if you're coming con los compas for the vibe, but for me? One y ya.

I'll start with the highlights: - if you are looking for a…read moreplace to watch football, they have great TVs and a TON of TVs, so you'll definitely get your game. - my FAVORITE perk was how organized they were with mapping out what games were on what TVs. Each TV in the bar has the teams attached to it. And then each table has a map with the giant TV wall behind the bar, so you can see which TV is playing which game. As someone who cares a lot about this, it was a highlight of my visit. - their beer prices can't be beat - our server was great and super attentive, even when a huge rush hit, she always had us taken care of Not necessarily bad, just not the highlights: - on the final weekend of regular season NFL, with multiple playoff implications games being aired, they stuck with the Cardinals sound, despite the restaurant being filled with tons of Bears and Broncos fans. I would have taken the sound to literally any other game, rather than the Cards. I get it's the home team, but it was a throwaway game and other games were critical, and the fan bases were there. - the food wasn't great. The mozzarella sticks could have been really good, but two of the four were dripping in grease and we couldn't really eat them. The other two were delicious.

In order to enter you will need to see the staff at the back patio and descend down the staircase behind Level 1. You must solve a brief riddle to reveal the entrance. A group of us hung out at Level 1 recently and had a fun time checking out Alchemy 48 afterwards. The bar offers a unique experience with decor that transports visitors back to 1920s Prohibition era. Alchemy 48 has purple velvet walls, unique lighting, creepy wall pictures and a fireplace at the center. The staff is dressed in authentic speakeasy-era attire. There is live music on occasions. There are several cocktail drinks like the Alchemy R N' R, The Peacock, Old Fashioned, Dark Arts Black Manhattan and the Rittenhouse Rye, For food, patrons can sample a charcuterie boards and other light snacks. I love the vibe here and enjoyed a fun evening out with friends for my first visit here.

We're big fans of speakeasies, so we were excited to try this one out--especially since it's just a…read morefew blocks from home. Unfortunately, it ended up being a letdown. The place was less than half full when we walked in. The hostess was friendly, and we were seated at the bar. That's where the experience started going downhill. Several bartenders were working, yet not one acknowledged us not a greeting, not eye contact for an uncomfortably long time. I get it if you're busy, but common courtesy like "we'll be right with you" takes two seconds. Basic hospitality shouldn't be optional in a service job, especially at a place trying to position itself as "upscale." When we were finally able to place our drink order, we waited even longer. It got to the point where we were about to cancel altogether. The only reason our drinks even got made is because a customer of one of the bartenders sat down next to us and suddenly, all of our drinks were made at the same time. So if you know the staff, apparently you won't be waiting. My Old Fashioned was mediocre at best. Unbalanced and not worth the time or price. After last call, the bartenders vanished to close out tables, leaving us stranded and still waiting to pay. We had no intention of camping out for over an hour for a single round. I eventually had to get up and track someone down just to close out the tab. This place has potential, but the service was indifferent at best, borderline neglectful at worst. If you're going to charge premium prices and sell a curated experience, you actually have to deliver one.
