I had a three-hour layover in Phoenix this afternoon and I happened upon Four Peaks while walking toward my gate. Thank goodness. I found a bar seat and ordered a pint of their signature beer (the Kilt Lifter scotch ale) and a cheeseburger with fries.
I really liked that they had such an expansive bar area as opposed to a bunch of tables. It made traveling solo much more comfortable. Plus there were USB ports underneath the bar so I was able to recharge my phone all the way to 100 percent before heading to my gate, which was awesome. No need to sit on the floor next to a plug!
My burger was tasty and cooked appropriately. The fries were so-so, but they did offer several sauces (like mustard and ketchup) to spruce them up. I enjoyed the beer, but it wasn't among my favorite scotch ales. In all, though, I paid roughly $20 with tip, which isn't all too bad for an airport meal -- or in general!
A nice way to break up the travel day.
