| - A very welcome addition to Central Scottsdale, Scottsdale Beer Company so far has proven to be awesome!
I've been there twice since their soft opening on January 3, and I must say I am very impressed.
To put it this way, with independent restaurants that have no existing brand or footprint to have as support, it is up to the owner/developer to create something that works, and that won't fall victim to the statistic of the ever-so-prevalent failed restaurants/bars.
I think the owners/developers of Scottsdale Beer Company have it right, and I wish them much success.
When trying out new restaurants over the years, I can tell that sometimes it takes a good amount of time for many places to smooth out the wrinkles and overcome the glitches that can inevitably happen with a new operation.
Well, after these two visits, my experience was absolutely stellar from start to finish. I have no criticism whatsoever!
Overall, I found Scottsdale Beer Company to...
...have excellent, attentive service from every employee encountered. And it wasn't just solid service - everyone went above and beyond to see that the food, drinks, and overall experience was top notch. You could tell that not only did they hire the right people, that they must have been well-trained to really care about their customers.
...have very tasty food! The fish and chips were amazing, the blackened fish sandwich scrumptious, and the desserts very good. My friends seemed to really enjoy their selections too. Extra points for very nice presentation too, with nice dinnerware, etc.
...good beer! Granted, their brewery is not at full speed ahead yet, but their guest beers were really nice choices for all tastes. In most bars around the area, it seems IPAs predominate the "craft beer" taps. Nothing against IPAs, but they are not my personal favorites. I tend to gravitate toward Belgian-style beers, porters, stouts, bocks, etc. In their guest beer list (which changes daily), they had a really nice Belgian quad and Russian imperial porter, both of which were top notch.
...a really nice atmosphere. It is apparent from all the TVs throughout, that this would be a great place to watch a game. Additionally, even if it were packed, there is enough spaced to where it wouldn't feel crowded. The decor has clean lines and feels urban and industrial, which I like. There was even an artist there chalking up nice designs on their really large chalkboards. Nice music in the background, but just at the right volume to where everyone can still hear each other. On nice 75 degree days like today, I would guess the "garage door" style windows they had lining one wall to the outdoor patio could really make the place have an amazing open, airy feel to take advantage of the great Scottsdale weather.
...was impeccably clean. Granted, it is brand new, but sometimes that doesn't mean anything to some restaurants. The bathrooms were super clean, as well as everywhere else.
Bottom line, it is not only apparent that the owners here seem to really care about hopefully turning this place into a cash cow success, but they also really seem to care about delivering a fantastic experience to their patrons on all levels (which is the key to that cash cow success!).
I hope that they can keep consistency, and that many subsequent reviews from other Yelpers can exclaim about a great time as well! Best wishes to Scottsdale Beer Company. I look forward to returning!
