Very spacious and open brewery with a welcoming atmosphere. We sat at the bar, and our beer tender…read moreacknowledged us promptly, handed us the menus, and asked if we were ready to order. We needed a little more time to choose the right beer. My partner wanted a pilsner, but unfortunately they didn't have one available at the time, so we went with their famous Barrio Blonde. I've had Barrio Blonde on many occasions at other places, but this one tasted unusually bitter and a bit flat. It seemed like the beer may have gotten warm at some point and was later cooled again, affecting the flavor. We were hungry, so we ordered the patty melt. The burger was good, with a flavorful patty and perfectly toasted bread. The bathrooms were also very clean, which is always appreciated. Overall, service was friendly and attentive, but the beer quality this visit was disappointing.

We came to borderlands to watch the NCAA championship game. Halfway through the game I went to…read moreorder their wings, but they had run out. It seems a bit of an oversight to not have enough wings for a big night like that, especially since it was advertised as a special. I ended up ordering the guacamole and chips, and was disappointed when I received a tiny portion of guacamole which seemed ridiculous for $9. (I was not able to take a picture but I'm sure you can find one.) As soon as the game was over a DJ came out with a good set but it was way too loud considering he was two feet away and it was 8pm. We decided to leave after that.

The bartender was very busy but was friendly and working it behind the bar to get everyones orders in and out as fast as possible. I love the beer flight so I can try a little bit of everything. Great patio and inside is actually bigger than expected with lots of room in the back and there's a TV inside with board games, too. I tried the carne asada taco, burger with fries and nachos and they all were great. I especially loved how crispy the fries are and how the nacho chips stayed crunchy and never got soggy, plus the flavor was good. Nice little place to stop by for some drinks and food!

Pueblo Vida fits the profile of the type of brewery everyone loved to make fun of in the 2010s:…read moreBland interior, a menu full of IPAs, and full of millennials. I give them a pass because I like India Pale Ales and all things bitter. And I appreciate their dedication to having distinct varieties: Hazy, West Coast, and if you're lucky, one that's wacky and unfiltered. The descriptions make it easier for intermediate hop fans to distinguish between Citra, Cascade, etc. These are not entry-level brews. The rest of the menu is pretty sparse. There's seltzer, and it's mid. One Stout, one Porter, one Pilsner, and so on. I will often find something I like here, and I will gladly dub it the best place in town to sit somewhere peaceful and pound a couple hoppy beers. But there's just not enough going on for me to really recommend it to the average person.

Crooked Tooth Brewery feels like one of those places that refuses to be just one thing--and I mean…read morethat in the best way. I came for an event and immediately realized this is the kind of spot where every visit probably reveals something you missed the last time. The space is wildly eclectic in a way that feels intentional, not chaotic. You look up, you look around, you look again. There's a whole back area you wouldn't even know exists unless you wander, complete with its own seating and energy. Turns out they host yoga back there, plus a rotating lineup of events that actually feel community-driven instead of forced. Then there's the food situation. A Thai street food truck parked on site serving absolute flavor bombs. I had a curry tofu Thai taco--something I've never seen, let alone eaten--and it brought legit spice and depth. One of those "wait, why is this so good?" moments. Inside, the details keep stacking. A vending machine filled with mini purses, bath salts, and handmade artisan goods? Unhinged (affectionately). Swag everywhere. Walls that give you something new to look at every few seconds. And if that wasn't enough, they partner with Anello, which happens to be my favorite pizza in the city--so yes, that alone earns points. What really sealed it for me was how inclusive the menu is. A full non-alcoholic selection, vegan cookies and non-vegan options, so no one feels like an afterthought. Service was solid, friendly, and matched the laid-back but intentional vibe of the place. Honestly, I'm shocked it took me this long to make it to Crooked Tooth--but now that I have, I get it. This isn't just a brewery. It's a choose-your-own-adventure kind of space, and I'm already looking forward to the next chapter.

I asked the beertender if I could sample a couple of their wheat beers, and they were more than happy to help. I ended up going with their American Wheat (super refreshing, crisp, and easy to drink). My friend opted for the Pilsner, which was just as solid and well-balanced. The only downside is that they don't serve the beer in proper glassware (everything comes in plastic cups), which takes away a bit from the overall experience. That said, the atmosphere is great, the staff is friendly, and the beer is delicious. Definitely a spot worth checking out

If you have non-drinkers in your party, they will be well represented with options like N/A beers, mineral waters, juices, and tepache. Did I mention you could bring food in as well? You can totally do that, and they're happy to see you stay a little while longer while enjoying your favorite meal. It's got enough space for community events, local markets, and other events. You can bring outside food. You can enjoy the best beers AZ has to offer. What are you waiting for?
