| - Awesome spot overall - so happy I checked it out!
Atmosphere: A
Super cool little place. I love how casual and inviting it is. Graffiti artwork on the wall is a great touch, as well as the reclaimed wood near the back. One high-top table has a Nintendo 64 available to play games on while you're drinking your beer. What's not to love? Plus, along the back wall there is a row of shelves with empty bottles/cans of beers famous within the craft beer world - pretty cool little touch.
Cleanliness: A
For being brand new and having just completed projects, the place looked spotless. I'm also pretty sure that half of the graffiti wall had just been completed in the last day or two - but the place was definitely ready for service. No complaints at all in this category.
Service: A
When we first walked in, we weren't sure if we were supposed to just take a seat and someone would come greet us, or if we needed to go to the bar to grab our drinks. We ended up just going up to the bar to order and were then greeted by the bartender with a smile. Halfway through our drinks (a beer and a wine) the owner Shea stopped by our table to thank us for coming in and supporting their new spot. I LOVE this. These are the touches you get from a cool, independent business that is trying to grow. Being thanked for the business we're giving them is just such an awesome way to grow in your community.
Beer Selection: B+
Alright, alright - the ONLY reason the beer selection doesn't get an "A" quite yet is because I wish there were more local Arizona beers on tap. No doubt - the beer selection they had was full of outstanding breweries - I just wish it supported more local AZ spots. I did spy a Helton keg in the cooler waiting to be tapped, so I'm sure it will only get better. Plus, I noticed on Instagram they have a tap takeover with AZ Wilderness coming up. That's what I like to see!
Creativity: B
I really like where they're going with this, and I'm sure it will only get better. I'm a huge fan of being able to stop by and have a drink, then buy a 6-pack of whatever and bring it home to drink even more... :) I will definitely be back. Thanks again Shea, hopefully business just keeps growing!
I forgot to snag a picture of anything, or else I would post on Instagram as well. You can also stop by westcoastfoodjudge.com to see this review!
