My wife and I were very pleased with our first experience at Phoenix Ale Brewery. We liked the new, but sort of rustic theme. It seems fun and comfortable. There are lots of big screen TV's with sports and concerts showing. Although I thought it rather odd to show a concert when you can't hear the sound. It's not too entertaining. Stick with the sports.
We sampled three beers, the porter, pale ale, and amber ale, and I ordered the amber. All were very good. And I really liked them because they weren't overly hopped like so many craft brews are these days. Please don't change the recipe to mega IBU's.
We shared the beet and arugula salad and the fish and chips. Both were very good. I especially like the fish. It was some of the better fried fish I've had, especially at a craft beer place. We also liked their slaw that came with the fish and chips. It's is unique. It's not sweet or overly sharp with vinegar. It was a perfect balance. My wife even liked it. And she usually won't eat slaw. The french fries were good too.
The man that seated us was very friendly and pleasant to talk with. And our server was nice and did a good job serving us.
When the weather is right we think we might like to try sitting outside on their patio. It looked like it would be a pleasant place for a meal.
Overall we were very happy with out first visit and we will be back.
