| - Wow. This place is superb. It is hard to notice it if you are driving by, and unless you take the leap in and just go for it, you would think its a dive... Oh, but Papago is hardly that!
~Fud/Drink
On my second visit, I had the Orange Blossom beer. I didn't have it the first time, because I was an idiot. Being a non-idiot, I quickly ordered a pint, which subsequently went into my belly super quick. This is my personal favorite beer, no question about it. It is refreshing, yet smooth, has no bite or acidic after taste, and is great by itself or with a dish. Speaking of dishes, they make some mighty tasty bar food. I had a pizza on the first visit, which filled me up and was exceptional. On the most recent visit, I had the red pepper hummus, which surprised me in its above-par flavor. There is a variety of dishes available, all which will fill you up and give your beer a good stomach-fellow. They have so many beers on tap, you would be a fool not to find at least one that suits your fancy. This is a must-go for any beer fan, you will be very satisfied with the options in front of you.
~Atmosphere/Service~
Like I said, it seemed at first like a dive, being in a strip center without much signage, minus the outside glass job they did to the store-front. Inside is a lot of wood, which gives you the feel for an old-school bar and a Midwestern feel. It feels inviting, and there more than enough space for you and some friends to chill at. There is also a side room I did not notice until now, that is available if there is a large crowd, so space issues aren't a concern. As for service, it seems to be about average. After waiting about 4 minutes for a server to come to me I simply walked up and ordered instead of waiting and getting upset. Eventually a seat opened up at the bar and the server helped me when I asked for another type of beer. They seem a bit busy, so you do have to ask for their attention. The waitstaff aren't rude, they just seem semi-attentive. I will service gauge this a bit more as I continue to come back. Overall, I am satisfied :)
~Extras/Rating~
I must suggest finding a seat at the bar if you are coming with another friend. It seems to mean much quicker service and also gives you an idea about selection of beers of course. Please also note the HUGE selection of carry-out beers they have in front of the bar itself. A huge huge selection, which is great if you are not near a Total Wine but want to select your own craft beer six pack. The bonus over Total Wine is that they are all cold! One sad downside is that they only serve the Orange Blossom in a Growler, no six pack avail for any of their beers. Oh well! Five Stars goes out to this place for the quality beers, inviting atmosphere, the tasty bar food that tastes fresh, the large selection of take out beers, and for the best beer of them all: The Orange Blossom! This is the best brewery I have been to in AZ, its to be determined if another one can carry the weight that Papago has. Come and enjoy!
