| - Another nice new addition to the Gilbert/Mesa area with Barrio's new opening at the airport. The location is a bit odd, sitting very close to the terminals at Mesa Gateway. But, you can't complain about sitting back and watching planes over a beer and some grub!
The building itself is nice, very clean, and a simple but spacious layout. The bartender, Tyler, was very attentive and gave us some good info on the opening, knowing that it was our first time there. I was there on a Tuesday afternoon, and was fortunate to hit happy hour. 1/2 price apps and $1 off beers from 2-6 I believe. We ordered pretzels and some chips with (rather bland) guac. The next trip will have to involve the serious part of the menu. Some of the burgers sounded awesome. I had the Beach Ale, which will work quite nice in the summer months. I also had the ruby red- grapefruit IPA which was a good brew also. They had about 10 on tap, with an NCAA Ale (10.4) packing the biggest punch. If it wasn't Tuesday afternoon, I would have downed a few of those. I now sit a short Uber ride, and about halfway between, Barrio and 12 West. I will be happy to support these places as great neighborhood bars!
