| - I recently went to Barrio Brewery on a whim chance when we were looking for mid afternoon lunch/dinner after a long day at a dog park. I obviously went to Yelp looking for suggestions, and this beauty popped up. Now, I will break this down so you can choose what to focus on.
Service: Now this was an awesome point for me. I see many reviews who've had negatives, but for me I can't complain. I called in asking first and foremost if we could sit outside as I had my dog with us. We took another car, so I couldn't leave her in the back of the truck. They reserved one table for us outside, and asked everyone if it was ok first. So this was a nice, touching part. As for the service throughout the meal, it was as good as it gets. Attentive, nice, informative, and relaxed, couldn't of asked for anything more.
Food: Now I was shocked as far as the food goes. This place is smaller in size, and right next to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. So, it's not as big as some of the other breweries here in Phoenix. I was extremely happy with the food I got. I ordered the Green Chile Chicken Panini, and it was good. I wasn't a fan of the one piece of green chile that was inside, but it was easy to pick out. I ordered the beer battered fries, WHICH IS A MUST. But it is an upcharge, so keep this in mind. I also ordered the Barrio Blonde, and it was amazingly smooth and tasty. They have flights to try their different beers, so I would recommend that for sure.
Overall: I was happily surprised by everything during this visit. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for something reasonably priced, great beer, and welcoming service. Now the inside didn't look huge, so make sure to call ahead for seating if you're going to bring a larger party. We will be returning to this location, as it is almost a hidden gem for us. Thank you!!
