Our first visit to Pinnacle Brewing Company…read more Friendly bar staff. You order at the counter and bring your drinks to the table. I didn't see any servers, only people bussing tables. They have a nice dog friendly patio with misters, board games available and a family friendly atmosphere. There were a handful of families in the brewery which can be good and bad depending on what atmosphere you are looking for.... My husband and friend enjoyed the beer flights. Unfortunately they didn't have any ambers available but had IPA's and stouts which they tasted. Since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see some wine options in the menu for me. While they don't serve food in the brewery, there were 2 food truck options available outside. Unfortunately we had already eaten so didn't try out the food available from the food trucks but looked tasty. I noticed the food truck servers delivered the food to the tables.

Didn't catch our waitress' name but she was very attentive and helpful! We ordered a bunch of small bites to share which ended up being perfect! - my bf got a burger for himself - watermelon margarita - ended up trading with my bf's sister for her drink since we ended up not liking what we ordered lol - pulled pork fries were amazing - delicious gyoza - cauliflower wings amazing - Mac n cheese - pretzel Everything tasted so good an after a lot of walking and shopping, this was perfect! This was also during happy hour so the prices were great. Overall a really good spot and would definitely love to come back! IG: @ammysalamii

Not your average dive bar... really great food excellent service and really cool ambience. This is…read moremy new favorite hangout in Scottsdale. Jessica, my waitress was really awesome and very friendly and helped me pick out some really great things on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The German pretzel bites with beer, cheese and the churros with ice cream and a few beers and I have to say the prices are excellent and the food is incredibly good and I don't say that lightning most dive bars are just good for the ambience and a few cheap drinks. This place is great all around. Also, their patio area is dog friendly, so I was able to bring my little furry friend with me and he hung out and laid down near the table. Another bonus.

Met up with a few guys here after work on a Friday and the place was packed. Definitely a lively…read morelocal hotspot vibe. You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

Located in Desert Ridge Marketplace, I checked out The Whining Pig on a Saturday night. Since I…read morelive in the area, I walked over. There is ample parking if you're driving. This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

With restaurant week in tow, I got their burrata caprese, wild blackened grilled salmon, and their flourless chocolate cake for $44. Their 3 different desserts are restaurant week exclusives. It was my first time eating flourless chocolate cake and it was a very small dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; flourless chocolate cake tastes extremely similar to a brownie. The 8oz salmon was good and I really liked the mashed potatoes that came with it. My favorite part of the burrata caprese was the balsamic vinegar used; it was so delicious. The service could've been better considering I was the only customer there for 20 minutes, but they were nice enough.

Egg perfectly cooked and duck was melt in your mouth tender. Our waitress warned me it was spicy but I didn't notice it Date cake--this dish is what I'll go to bed dreaming about.

Wren House Brewing Company is easily one of the more thoughtfully done brewery spaces around…read more Beer Their beer speaks for itself, but for anyone new, this is home to one of my favorite hazy IPAs, Spellbinder. Consistently solid and exactly what you want from the style. Service Laid-back and smooth. Everything feels dialed in without being overly formal, which fits the vibe perfectly. Ambience This is where they really separate themselves. Instead of the typical dim, sticker-covered, industrial brewery feel, this place is bright, clean, and curated. It honestly feels closer to a well-designed coffee shop, but built around great beer. Not a huge space, but comfortable enough to grab a pint and hang out without feeling cramped. Extras Huge bonus, they'll order Trevor's Liquor pizza for you and have it brought over. That alone makes it an easy stop. Overall I'm really glad this spot opened up nearby. It's perfect as a starting point for a night out. Grab a beer here, then head to dinner at one of the nearby spots. If you're into craft beer but want a cleaner, more elevated environment, this is a must-visit.
