I've been buying SanTan beer at the stores for quite some time, but for some reason, I've never made the 5 mile drive to the place where the magic happens, until last night.
I met up some friends for some Thursday night before Christmas drinking! Since it was Thursday I was able to take advantage of their Sun-Thurs pint specials after 9:00 pm so I got an Epicenter Amber Ale and Negro Nitron. The Epicenter was awesome and as you can imagine, a beer with the name negro in it means it's a bold, dark beer. Maybe a little too bold for my liking but still pretty smooth.
We also snacked down on some appetizers. I shared with some friends some hummus and this trio chip dish. Amazing! If the food is any bit as good as the app's (which all the people at the table and all the reviews say is true) then I can't wait to visit for a nice meal.
The place had a great vibe. I really love the downtown Chandler area and inside San Tan it feels very open, with just the right about of noise level so all 6 of us at our table could have a great conversation.
The place also has huge patio seating, but it was just too cold for that. They also had a bunch of TV's behind the bar, so I could catch the highlights of ASU Football blowing their bowl game, and see the Suns get destroyed by the Nuggets in pre season.
I think the next time I come back will be to catch a big Suns game that I don't have tickets too, or take my date here and cab it home after some bar hopping around downtown Chandler.
