The date is 4/20/2026--a frigid, dark, and stormy night at the intersection of McClintock and Southern. A weary traveler arrives and sits down at his favorite bar--Bottleshop48, located at 3318 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, in the Aldi shopping center. He orders a crisp glass of Bottleshop Water, known to the regulars simply as "water," and rests for a moment as a film begins to play on the main TV. Brad and Angelina appear. It is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the acclaimed 2005 action/comedy. A small tear rolls down his face; finally, he will be able to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith from start to finish. Finally, his life will have meaning beyond the crude dionysian pursuit of wine, women, and song. Today, he thinks: "my suffering will end: I am free from the banality of the world outside, with a full 2 hours of action/comedy to enjoy, cold drink in hand, hale companions to my left and to my right." But this man was mistaken. Instead a challenger appears--a man from the wrong side of the tracks, a man bent on ruining our hero's uninterrupted viewing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Shockingly this newcomer requests the TV remote. He brazenly downloads the Sling Freestream app on the TV. He scrolls through the Sling Freestream app's numerous free ad-supported options and chooses--impossibly--Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. Our hero protests meekly, in earnest: "but I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith." "Oh sorry," the upstart pretender responds, surprised that someone would be so interested in seeing the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Does our hero challenge this cruel usurper to fisticuffs for the TV remote? No. Does he chuck a beer at this sadistic lover of classic British humor? No. Does he strip naked and dance atop the bar in a lewd manner to assert his dominance over the TV? He does not. A man of peace--a true lover not a fighter and a known Ryan Gosling look-alike--our hero grits his teeth and accepts the excruciating truth that he will see no more of Brad and Angelina on this night. He simply pays his tab and exits into the freezing late April air, never to know true happiness. Never to experience complete extasy. Never to see the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Great variety of craft beers, and the build-your-own pack is a clutch move, perfect for mixing and matching without commitment to one kind. There's a cool little bar area plus extra seating up front, which makes it easy to hang and sip. Came through during the holidays and the festive vibe was on point. Bartender/cashier lady was friendly, helpful, and actually paying attention. Solid experience all around read more

Every time I come to Bottleshop I have an amazing time. Adam, their bartender, is incredibly patient, entertaining, and hard working. They have a huge selection of drafts- and every time I go I am tempted to try something new. They also have games you can play which makes a fun atmosphere. Simply put, this is a great place to bring friends and enjoy a week night together! read more

Bottleshop 48 - Moose Drool - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Favorite spot to buy takeaway cans. Great, large selection at good prices. Enjoy the location too for the occasional flight or pint. It appears smaller on entry, but I think there is another room that opens if busy. read more

I'm here once again to get some cans of my favorite: Great Notion, Blueberry Cobbler Muffin Tart Ale 6% ABV and I decided to grab a glass of 394 Pale Ale 6%, which was excellent! They had a food truck parked out front, but I can't speak for the food as I didn't partake. As you know, I'll be back! read more

We discovered this place because of the 2023 Pub Pass. It was fun to see this taphouse located in a shopping plaza where Aldi, coffee shops, a few restaurants, and some other businesses were. We tried some beers on tap and they were delicious especially if it was a hot summer day. I also tried their wine on one of our visits. They also had a lot of beer to go options, and I believe the price is reasonable. This place felt like a local neighborhood bar because a lot of customers seemed to be "regulars". They were known by names or recognized by faces and greeted with warmth by the bartenders. To be honest, it could feel a bit left out if this were your first time here. I think part of the reason for this was also because the dining area was a bit crowded, which made the atmosphere tight and intimate. They had board games and a separate room for wine lovers. It seemed that they also hosted regular wine club events and some other community events as well. They did not have a kitchen inside but there was a food truck available right outside. This place was dog friendly inside as well, although it could be a bit tight if you have a large dog. read more

Bottleshop 48 is our favorite taproom! We love being able to bring Rainey (our dachshund) inside with us during the hot summer months to get her to socialize and Lauren is an amazing bartender- so sweet and very knowledgeable about the tap and fridge selection, she gives the best recommendations. Overall, a 10/10 spot! read more

It was my first time here w/friends. Great local taproom in south Tempe. A variety of local breweries both on tap and in can/bottle options. A large selection to choose from. Seems like locals frequent this place, and there were a few "regulars" known by name, pop in and purchase to go quantities. We had an eclectic group of drinkers, ordered Revision's Moon Trips on draft, Celestial Artisan Meadery Supernova Rasberry bottle to share, and a Drekker can of Can you feel the PRRRT tonight. They also have merch available, a book shelf full of reading materials/novels, games and a second chill room. Go support your local taproom, it's a guaranteed good time. read more

This is exactly what a neighborhood beer shop should be! It's small and relaxed, with great beers on tap and in cans/bottles, and they do various events - games, food trucks, yoga!? I prefer hazy IPAs, so I just get whatever hazy is on tap, and have always liked it. They have a great selection of beers in the cooler as well. They also have wine, but I've never even looked at the selection. I come for the beer! It is dog friendly (if your dog is friendly) and they are always welcoming to my giant dog. It's nice to have a place indoors to have a beer with your pup. You can bring or order food to enjoy with your beer, and they often have food trucks. The best way to find events is on their Instagram rather than the website. read more

Bottleshop 48 - No room at the bar but plenty of table space - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Such a cute little shop. Loved the brews on tap and that they had so many local bottled options to choose from as well, plus the option to make your own 6 pack. Super chill ambiance and vibe, will definitely be back to play some board games! read more

What's not to love about this place! Everyone who works here is so kind and so knowledgeable about beer and wine. Prices are so reasonable. The bar has two rooms and often hosts events like Loteria, trivia, and Bachelor viewing parties. There's almost always a delicious food truck there on Fridays to pair with their extensive beer selection. Dog friendly place too, which we love! The best part of this place though has to be the people. The people who congregate here are welcoming and warm with everyone who comes in. This small business is such a gift and asset to the community! read more

Cool little place to relax and have a pint or two. I saw there are board games for you to play. The room in the back was quiet enough to have a nice conversation with your friends! read more

A quintessential local craft beer bar, also with an excellent wine and n/a selection. The constantly warm nature provided by the staff and owners always has me coming back for an enjoyable place to kick back and enjoy a cold one. Tons of games to play at your leisure and you are welcome to bring your own food. There is a small snack wall and great food trucks on select evenings. Make sure to check out Comfort Nourishment on Fridays for great food truck eats! In Ireland, the pub is considered an extension of the home, it is the exact same for this incredible bar. Whether it is the great music playing, the fun loving patrons, or just all around incredible vibes, this bar has something for you. This bar is an intricate part of the community in which it exists, and the love they have for it is evident. Go out and support this amazing small local business, it won't disappoint. read more

Bottleshop 48 - Just the beer fridges shown (there are also taps, wine fridge, and n/a fridges). - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Cool place with a decent selection of bottled and canned beers. I like going to local places and all but it's getting too expensive there. Maybe my middle aged male Karen is showing, but $37 for a six pack of local craft beer is overpriced. You can get the same stuff cheaper close by for a lot less. I paid it and didn't complain but won't be going back. read more

Great environment, fun event nights, and all the bartenders are really nice! I love coming here and playing games with friends and hanging out! read more

The beer selection is great, and the bartender on Sundays is funny and cool. 10/10 recommend this place for a laid back hangout

LOCAL CRAFT BEER @bottleshop48 is a fun place to hang out w/ rotating beers local and regional and 1000's of cans that you can drink there or take home. Amazing prices compared to other locations like them. Thank you to @pubpass for the introduction and reason to go. Had some amazing service from Kelsey which shared her story of her tattoo being featured on the can art for their Berry Me Deep BLUEBERRY LEMONAID Hefe. Check these guys out!

We ended up here thanks to the Phoenix Pub Pass. It's clearly a local/community place which is pretty cool. Kinda fun to see so many folks with yoga mats and beer. :) I had an herbed cider that was delicious. We were on our way to another pub so didn't buy anything from the fridges but they seem to have a huge selection. It's got a dark and cozy vibe. read more

Great spot, the bartender Tom was the best!! Perfect place to hang out with friends and learn more about beer/wine

The best! Great options! Great people! Great regulars! Great staff! Great beers! Great vibes! Great food trucks! Great cleanliness! Great parking! Great merchandise! Great service! Great ambiance! Great ownership! Great wine! Great mead! Great ciders! Great seltzers! Great non alcoholic options! Great place to get some work done! Great place to relax! Great place to catch up with friends! Great place to make new friends! Great place for like a second or third date! Great place! read more

Huge selection of beer roughly 500 different options in cans plus 12 taps and wine. Kelsey and Adam were great! Told them the style of beers a liked and I tried 4 they recommended and all of them were delicious! Cozy atmosphere, great selection and amazing staff 11/10 would recommend! read more

Bottleshop 48 - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I'm such a sucker for local mom and pop shops. I'd rather support local than going to big name stores in my opinion. The variety is great here and I love that the staff is super friendly is always a huge perk. I'm not a fan of going to breweries that have snotty employees or rude and make you feel unwelcome. Not here! Thank god! During these crazy times you would think more people would be friendlier. So glad to see places like this that are welcoming. Love all their glassware when you first walk in. Can't wait to see some women's tanks or baby shirts some day *crossing my fingers*. I also love that in the beer fridge that everything is organized by styles of beer. read more

Immaculate. Definitely here too often because I love the beer and wine selection, regulars, and employees. Best hidden bar/gem/anything in Tempe. read more

Absolutely love this place!! They have an amazing beer and wine selection. The service is always excellent. Plus they have a great calendar of events happening on a regular basis. Great for a chill vibe. read more

What a lovely place! This is the equivalent of a chuck's hop shop, for anyone from Washington State. You can go in, get beer on tap, buy cans/bottles and drink in shop, at one of the many tables they have, or take a growler/can/bottle home. Great selection of drinks at reasonable prices! They have board games available. It looks like they host frequent tasting events. A fun spot with a great vibe. There are tv's up playing whatever sports game that happens to be on. I'll deff be back to hang out with friends and enjoy a drink. read more

This place was very uncomfortable and I felt very out of place here. The man who kept going behind the bar but was also drinking at the bar (not sure if he was an employee or not) kept talking about his genitalia and the girl kept playing a board game with him while people were waiting to be served. Came here with pubpass and definitely doesn't wanna make me return. read more

EXCEPTIONAL! I have been going to Bottleshop 48 for a few years but not often. I went in today with a list of beers my husband wanted and both gentlemen working were helpful and kind. They found everything on my list for my husband's birthday and my dad for Father's Day. They also helped me get it all to my car. Really wonderful service. About Bottleshop in general. It is a little hard to find if you are only looking for "Bottleshop 48" but follow the beer and wine signs and you'll find it! They have a strong selection of beers including hard to find local selections. There is also a really cool side room with wine but I never make it past the beer! The draft selections are also really varied which I appreciate. My husband likes IPAs but we also know they are likely to have a sour on for me. Highly recommend! read more

Second time coming to this tap house and I love it just as much if not more. Had excellent service and the variety of beer was just as astonishing and satisfying. Love that this place is dog friendly. My dog Moose loved being there. Tried the Black Widow IPA which was phenomenal choice and hope to see it in their fridge. Will definitely be coming back here again. read more

We stopped in to Bottleshop 48 for a drink before dinner. I would describe is as a beer/wine store with a tasting room. It was packed on Friday night--standing room only. The crowd was mostly hipsters but there was an age range. There was some kind of wine tasting going on and a promo from a brewery. No one was overly friendly, but when I asked employees about things, they were really knowledgeable. The back bar has draft beer. The bartender was really efficient and got our drink orders right away. We browsed the beer selection, which is organized by style. It's IPA heavy but there's a good bit of everything including a case of sours. You can have an employee open anything and drink it there for an extra $1. We went through the wine selection, which was also decent. I tend towards Barbera and Barolo and they had a couple of both. I felt like most bottles were marked up a couple dollars more than they should have been, but it's probably worth it to avoid a chain. I gathered there also a wine club, but didn't ask about it. There's no food, but there was a food truck outside. Both our neighborhood bars closed within a couple weeks of each other. I've been looking for a replacement. Bottleshop 48 isn't it for me, but I'm glad to know about it to get harder to find beer and wine. read more

The Bottleshop 48 is a great place to stop in for some fine craft beer. They serve beer on-site. The have an EPIC selection of Wine for the Vino crowd. Bike friendly. Sam and Lindsey are super friendly and helpful for when you need a beer or wine suggestion. Jon is usually behind the bar also super friendly and great for suggesting or recomending a beer. Treat your self today you will be soooooo glad you did. They have lots events from local breweries. Tuesday flash sales check their instagram. Thursday special dollar of pints. read more

Easily my favorite bottle shop in the east valley. Reasonable prices as well. When they have the sitting area open I highly suggest using it. Craft beer selection is top shelf. Year round they keep a good selection of darker beers with the typical IPA selection. Not many places carry baltic porters but I've found them there. Love em. I'm not as well versed in wine but they have a wine bar as well, again when the current restrictions aren't on. The staff is very nice. Very knowledgable. Stop in and grab some adult beverages to go. read more

Been to every bottle shop in the area and this is far and away my favorite. Owners are so friendly and hospitable. Selection offers a large variety of different genres of beer without being overwhelming. Perfect place to kill some time, watch a game, or participate in one of the many events/activities offered. Also fun to assemble your own six pack to go. I've heard great things about the wine selection/quality as well. Ambiance is inviting and homey. Never change, Bottleshop 48! read more

Bottleshop 48 is a very unique beer store that is needed for the Phoenix area. There's a plethora of brews in Arizona itself and they definitely help cut down on the clutter. Cold and not-cold beers and ciders are available from across the state, southwest and some international selections. The evening I stopped by there was an Oregon meadery sampling a couple of their bottles which was a nice addition to my shopping experience. There weren't a lot of staff around to help and answer questions. The beer-tender in the back was helpful in giving a few suggestions and kind of giving a layout of the store and what can be drank at their bar top, but that was about it. Besides him and the meadery rep, no one really came to help me. The beer is fairly well-organized according to style in both the refrigerated and non-refrigerated sections. Too bad though they don't have a better location, it's almost completely hidden from Southern & McClintock. I only discovered them when I had tires replaced at the next-door Discount Tire and walked to a local coffee store in the same strip mall area. read more

Cool shop to get some great brews. Nice to see they sell Tombstone Brewery stuff here! Been here two or three times and have left with a dozen new variety of singles each time. The employees seem nice and they also have brews on tap so you can just hang out and chill if you like. Definitely recommend this place! read more
