| - Barrio Brewing, where can I start!? I really enjoyed this place and will start by saying its five star worthy.
I have been eying this place for awhile and just happened to decide to give it a try recently. I was not disappointed. You have to drive through ASU and the Chandler-Gilbert Community College campus but nestled in the way back is the Mesa-Gateway Airport where you will find Barrio Brewing right off the runway. The location is nice with far reaching views, airplanes nearby, and there is a pavilion with a greenbelt area for the kids to run around, games to play, and just a nice area to walk after dinner or while waiting.
After we were seated on the outside patio, we waited for awhile for our server to get our drink order. It took awhile to get them ordered and to the table where we found we needed just a moment longer to look at the menu. It was quite a few moments before our server showed up to finally take our order. Even after this, there wasn't any follow up with our meal, if we wanted drinks, and felt like she wasn't going to show up with our checks. This wasn't the end of the world but it could have been better (she may have been new?)
We both ordered a drink and I found it was good. I got the Santa Rita Jefeweizen and my buddy got the Copperhead Pale Ale. Both were pretty tasty and just as written. We both ended up ordering the Dianne Burger because it sounded fantastic, as did most things on the menu. I was REALLY torn! (Hoping to come back and give some more things a try.) Overall, the best part of the burger was the freaking BUN! It was seriously so good, I don't know why but we both thought it was excellent. The fries were also on point, get the beer battered ones - you won't be disappointed.
One of the coolest parts was seeing three military jet planes flying over the large airstrip and open area nearby. In the distance you have a great mountain range view. The planes even landed and parked near the brewery, which was loud but pretty cool to see.
Overall, Barrio Brewing Co is worth the visit. Nestled back in the campus and near the airport it is away from the hustle and bustle of a busy business complex. You are backed right up to a large open area with mountain views and the unusual view of the airport runway where you can, hopefully, see some planes jets up in the sky. There is plenty of outdoor space to play corn hole or take a walk before / after dinner to take in the views. The food all looked extremely delicious on the menu. The burgers and beer battered fries are fantastic and the BUNS are the BEST! As mentioned, I think the service was disappointing but I'd give them another shot. Hoping to come back here and leave an updated five star review.
(Unrelated but looking for another great airport food/breakfast place for the kids? Try Hangar Cafe for breakfast in Chandler, AZ. They're affiliated but the theme goes great for kids interested in airports or who enjoyed this place!)
