I've been here several times with different types of groups. I really want to love this place, but something seems a tiny bit off. I'm confused by the demographic they're trying to cater to. Is it the ASU crowd? Professional crowd? Laid back? Fun? Family vibe?
Positives:
GREAT beer selection
Really good food
Bartenders are really nice
Cool layout, except for the area where they allow dogs (outside)
Awesome patio/deck area
Service is pretty good
Negatives:
Mixed drinks are a bit expensive for what you get (very small portions). Of course it's a brewery, so maybe that's why
Deck/patio is awesome but they allow cigar smoking, so it's not fun trying to eat your delicious meal with smelly cigar wafting in your face
The outside game area where dogs are allowed smells like dog piss
Also, the last time I went, my husband and I stopped in for a quick meal with our toddler. We ordered a bunch of food and our bill was pretty high. I noticed when we were leaving that the manager ran over to our table and checked to make sure we paid (he grabbed the leather check holder) and didn't walk out on our check. That was a bit annoying and insulting.
Overall:
It's a good place to eat/drink, but I'd recommend waiting for cooler weather and enjoying their amazing front patio - back patio is smoking. Plan on ordering beer (great selection) unless you want to overpay for cocktails that are small and a bit watered down. Try the mac n cheese for a nice spin on an old recipe.
