| - Four Peaks is an upscale brewery restaurant. Nothing more, nothing less.
With on-site brewing of several classics and rotating seasonal brews, if you're a beer drinker you won't be disappointing by Four Peaks. The service is usually reasonably fast, so you won't be left with an empty glass for long. You will have to wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night, but they can usually get you sat pretty fast.
There are only two downsides to Four Peaks. The food is OK, nothing special. I've had several different entrees, and while they aren't bad, they aren't anything to write home about either. The other downside is their location. They are on a side street in Tempe, about two miles from Mill Ave, where most of the bars are located. Their parking is abysmal; you either have to find a street spot, of which there are usually none, or you have to park in their hardly-lit back lot. Generally, when I'm thinking of going there, the parking is a big limitation.
Their location is also strange, as it is neither a great spot to launch a night out in Tempe, nor is it calmer than Mill. The ASU "bros" are in full attendance on the weekends, so don't expect to kick back and enjoy your craft beer in peace. At the same time, if you want to get to Mill, you'll have to get back into your awkwardly parked car or take a $10+ cab ride to Mill. Still, they're a little cheaper than Gordon Biersch, which is on Mill, so you may break even.
Four Peaks is a Tempe must-visit. Plan for the parking and expect a lively crowd and you'll have a great time.
