    Came here for the Too Broke For Country Thunder fest, as my boyfriend's band was one of six country bands playing in this event. For as crazy busy as it was I thought the bar staff did a great job & got our drinks & eats out to us in a timely manner. The weather, however, had different ideas that night, especially during Strait Country & the Donny Grubb Band's sets. I commend the tech crew here for acting fast & taking measures to keep the bands & fans both safe during the horrific weather. I plan to come to more events in the future, as this is a great venue for live music & supporting our local bands & musicians.

    Salad plate

    Our food took a hour to get. My burger was so overdone and the $20 salad seemed premade and came in the plastic container a salad would come in. If you're looking to drink and socialize, it's your spot! And the patio is very dog friendly. But definitely skip out on the meal! Lol

    Paper every thing and they have the nerve to charge those prices. Food barely palatable.

    Do the serve beer? In bottles or on tap?

    Yes, bottles and tap. We have about 50 taps with domestic, import, and craft beers.

    I am a big fan of Level 1 Arcade in Mesa. Alchemy 48 is a speakeasy that is located in the basement…read morebehind Level 1 Arcade Bar in Downtown Mesa. In order to enter you will need to see the staff at the back patio and descend down the staircase behind Level 1. You must solve a brief riddle to reveal the entrance. A group of us hung out at Level 1 recently and had a fun time checking out Alchemy 48 afterwards. The bar offers a unique experience with decor that transports visitors back to 1920s Prohibition era. Alchemy 48 has purple velvet walls, unique lighting, creepy wall pictures and a fireplace at the center. The staff is dressed in authentic speakeasy-era attire. There is live music on occasions. There are several cocktail drinks like the Alchemy R N' R, The Peacock, Old Fashioned, Dark Arts Black Manhattan and the Rittenhouse Rye, For food, patrons can sample a charcuterie boards and other light snacks. I love the vibe here and enjoyed a fun evening out with friends for my first visit here.

I do feel bad for the bartenders, there were only 2, but it wasn't that busy, I mean the first place we went there was one guy and the place was packed, he kept up & was quick to get your drink to you. Now the ordering, each person explained what they wanted, our bartender tried to upsale us, or tell us what we wanted was wrong. I asks for a good fruity mocktail, he told me I was no fun. I let him know "I know my limit, and I am at it. I don't want to have anymore alcohol" he was not pleased. Our drinks, ick. One tasted like any fruit juice they had behind the bar was poured into a glass with gin topper. Another one was like a soggy black licorice dripping in something unrecognizable. Mine was on fire which was cool, yet was so sickly sweet I could barely get through half. Now, this could have been a one off. But, wish we would have saved our time and money.

Chupacabra was open, was a three-minute drive, and had excellent reviews. So my decision was made. I parked on the street for free a minute away on foot. Ambiance (3.5/5): Pretty much your typical beer bar. Relatively small inside, but they also have a patio out front with picnic style seating. Casual. My type of bar. My only complaint? I hate picnic style seating because it doesn't give you back support. Which made me want to avoid the patio. Service (5/5): Super friendly service. The guy working the bar did a great job. I ordered one beer and called it a night. A seamless experience from beginning to end. They also have complimentary water in a water cooler, which is always a nice ou Food (N/A): I read they have food trucks, but I didn't see any when I visited. I had dinner prior anyway. Drinks (4.5/5): I love trying new beers and Chupacabra has an excellent selection. They have a rotating screen above the bar. Some interesting brews, ranging from local craft brews to quality European beers. This is not the type of place that has your typical assortment of mediocre beers. You'll find a lot better here. Overall, a cool spot in downtown Mesa. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the neighborhood!
