Fate is by far our favorite brewery in AZ. Their beer is among tops in the state. Hubby and I have very differing tastes. He likes super hoppy, I prefer lighter or sour. His favorite is the double Oatmeal IPA. I love the Hatch Chili Cream ale and the Gose they made last year was superb. I hope it comes back this year! And the Candybar Milk Stout is worth the visit. Can't beat their beer prices either if you ask me. And we enjoy the creativity with which they approach beer making. Even when their own beer is in short supply, the guest list is more than sufficient. And limited Fate supply should soon be a thing of the past with the new location open.
I've seen several complaints about the menu. We've always loved the food and tried just about everything on the menu. Of course there will always be items that aren't your favorite so I'm not really sure why people give poor reviews just because they don't like the Irish Nachos?
As far as service, Fate is our favorite place for service. We are at this point regulars. We know almost everyone by name and they treat us with the same kind of genuine respect and kindness we give to them. The feel is very laid back. So if you're expecting to feel catered to just because it's Scottsdale you will be disappointed. But trust me, if you are a good patron you will be well taken care of.
Our almost weekly visits will continue!
