    the beer selection
    Sandy B.

    Let's be clear. This is a beer bar. 30 on tap and numerous cans. They do have a few bottles of wine you can choose from. Food is limited and completely bar food. Cute vibe. Quaint setting and friendly and attentive staff. It's worth a stop.

    Peanut butter latte golden stout
    Gayl B.

    I don't like beer. However, after thoroughly enjoying a Guinness in Dublin (and then in the rest of the U.K.), I've decided that not all beer taste bad. If you can't find a beer here that you like, then you aren't trying. The menu is color coded, but a word of warning: the stouts are lumped in with the porters, which makes sense but my tastes buds like the stouts better. So you might want to pay attention to the groupings. The waitress brought just two different stouts for a taste before I settled for the Peanut Butter Latte golden stout. It sounds really strange, but it really has a unique taste. If you like the taste of peanut butter, you'll like this beer, but have a sample first, just in case. Nicole H. and I also shared some sidewinders--the Southwestern ones. The appetizer was a lot of food for the two of us, but maybe not for two really hungry people. Our waitress was helpful and accommodating, even when Mark H. and John B. showed up late and expanded our table. She continued to check back with us for additional drinks and food (Mark had one of their brats and it looked pretty tasty). The prices for their beer seemed a little high, but maybe we're paying for the experience, too. I noticed a cool wheel of beer that I was going to try out but forgot about it (my back was to it most of the evening). It did look like a way to figure out what type of beer might be your favorite.

    Great little local place. 30+ craft beers on tap. Large selection of cold can beers. They have a little selection of wine for non-beer people. All in all a cool little place to enjoy a beer with friends

    This place is pretty cool. As their name says, it is super casual and they have a great selection of beers. Its got that coffee shop vibe. You can stop in to shop for some beers or chill at a couch for some conversation or hang at the bar and watch a game. In the shopping area, you can create your own 6 pack to go (bottles or cans). I like having the option of trying out a few beers without having to buy a full 6 pack. You can also fill up growlers here as well straight out of the tap. Bring your own if you own one. If you are hanging here and want to grab a pint, their have a nice variety of rotating beers on hand that are showcased on a big chalkboard. Hungry? They have some light bites and appetizers as well. This is a great place to chill over a beer whether you are alone or with some buddies. Seating is both indoor and outdoor.

    I have driven past this place multiple times and finally decided to give it a try. It is a smaller, cozy venue and they had live music. We really loved the fact that we could order flights and try several of the beers at once. The food is just okay; go for the beer and the atmosphere.

    Went to the grand opening last night and had a great time! They have a wonderful selection of beer on tap and bottled/canned on shelves like a market. You will find some beers here you won't be able to find much elsewhere in AZ, including one of my favs, Mother Earth Cali Creamin'. They also sell the usual merch and growlers. I really like the cafe feel to this place, between the outdoor patio and the indoor setup with comfortable seating. The staff was also very friendly even with the chaos of their opening night -- very impressive. My only reason this isn't 5 stars is that they do run pricey. While they are close by and thus convenient, some of their beers on tap are $10 for a pint. All in all, I will definitely be coming back as its close to home and seems to have a great crowd and great staff running the place. Cheers!

    The name says it all, The Casual Pint is indeed the spot to go to enjoy a tasty craft beer in a causal chill atmosphere. The Casual Pint offers a variety of craft beers on tap along with wine and a wide array of bottled/canned craft beers. The menu can be a bit overwhelming at first glance, but it is color coded by the different types of beer. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and do a great job of explaining the different beers and providing samples of the beers you want to try or they think would be best fit based off of your liking. The food menu is short and simple, yet tasty and fairly priced, especially on during happy hour. There are many options for seating including bar, table, and individual couch seats as well as a shaded and misted patio. The atmosphere is very relaxed and offers many options for entertainment. There are multiple TVs to watch sports, a shuffle board table, Golden Tee, and a plethora of board games.

Both hostess at the front didn't offer a wait list. Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it.

My first pint was a Hefeweizen. It had a slight waxy mouthfeel. My second pint was an oatmeal stout. At 7.3% ABV it was a tad strong, but it went down very smoothly. I snacked on some free popcorn but it was seasoned with a strong spice. Thankfully I could help myself to the water fountain. I enjoyed the ambiance and will be back.

Unfortunately, that's about where the positives end. If you're coming for the food or the service, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. We came in as a party of five a little after 9:00 PM and were told the kitchen closed at 10:00 PM. No problemo, we were ready to order right away. Instead, our server didn't return to take our order until around 9:20PM, despite nearby tables continuing to receive service. That was the first sign things weren't going well. I ordered the carne asada nachos specifically because the menu advertised them with queso instead of shredded cheese. I even mentioned to my group that was the reason I was ordering them. I also added a side of sweet potato waffle fries. About 25 minutes after we had already placed our order, the server came back and asked if I'd like a different meat. Like of course I don't want a different meat that's why I ordered carne asada. The server didn't say that they were out of carne asada, but I read between the lines and opted for ground beef cause really the queso is what makes the nachos. Also, I couldn't help wondering why it took 25 minutes to find that out. Then the food arrived. My nachos immediately looked different than expected. Instead of queso, they were covered with shredded cheese. Nothing was mentioned about being out of queso. I notice there was none. When I asked about it, the server casually said, "Oh yeah, we're out of queso too." Wait...what? So the restaurant was out of both the carne asada and the queso. The two main ingredients that made me order the dish in the first place. No one cared to mentioned either of those things when taking my order OR when coming back and asking if I wanted a different meat didn't also mention they were out of queso. Had I known, I would have ordered something completely different from the start. To the server's credit, she did let me order something else. Sucks for the kitchen because they were already closed. I ended up getting the sliders, but they were just as underwhelming as everything else. The food overall tasted like frozen products that had simply been reheated. Nothing tasted fresh, especially considering the prices. The biggest issue wasn't just the mediocre food, it was the lack of communication and straight lie when placing my food in front of me. If items are unavailable, tell customers before they order or at least when placing their food down, not after they've waited half an hour and not saying anything at all. Between the disappointing service, poor communication, and unforgettable food for all the wrong reasons, this place completely lost my trust. I'd honestly rather spend half the money at IHOP, where the food is more consistent and I'd know what to expect.
