You can never go wrong here! I've been going to The Whining Pig (Downtown Phoenix) since I moved…read morehere from NYC in 2021, and at this point it's basically part of my personality. This is my at-least-once-a-month spot for catching up with friends, popping in solo, or grabbing a "just one drink" that may or may not turn into two. The beer selection is massive, borderline intimidating, and the wine list rotates often, which I love. Pro tip: don't play beer roulette unless you enjoy surprises that might hurt your feelings. Instead, tell the bartender what you like and they'll work their magic, usually with a taste so you don't commit to something you regret. As a wine drinker, I especially appreciate when they suggest something I wouldn't normally order and absolutely nail it. The vibe is casual but a sort of kind of sexy (weird). The dim lighting, great energy, and zero pressure might be it. Bar seating up front, games if you're feeling social, and high tables in the back for groups or communal mingling. It's the kind of place where you can settle in... or pop in, pop out, and still feel satisfied without spending your rent money. They have small bites like grilled cheese and occasional cheese plates, but let's be honest, this is not a food destination, and that's perfectly fine. My beer-loving friends can happily sample half the menu while I sip a perfectly chilled Sauvignon Blanc and judge none of it. And finally, the real MVPs: the bartenders. Always friendly, always helpful, always down to chat, especially if you're there solo (hi, it's me again!). They'll listen to you ramble, offer great suggestions, and somehow make you feel like a regular even if you're just stopping in briefly. Reliable, fun, unpretentious, and consistently solid. The Whining Pig is a downtown staple for a reason.

This is so delicious and so simple! But the other locations do not make it the same at all so I will only go to the downtown Phoenix location and we live in North Scottsdale. Great menu options.

My husband usually gets the Nashville, hot chicken sandwich or a burger, which are both great! Wash everything down with their locally brewed beers... Absolutely love the blueberry wheat... Delicious!

Years ago, I remember visiting the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale before it…read morebecame a part of Arizona State University and moved to the ASU Downtown Campus. I remember touring the administrative offices, the dining hall, the classrooms, the residence halls, and other random buildings, but the most memorable stop was The Pub, which was rooted in much Thunderbird tradition. Now, years later with a new building in place at ASU, I was delighted to learn that The Pub still exists but in a new space (on the fifth floor). I recently stopped by to see what it looked like and try one of their dishes. In the spirit of Thunderbird, at The Pub, it is said that "global flavors and local charm come together to create an unforgettable dining experience." This is a great place for a meal with co-workers, hosting a gathering for a special celebration, or having a low-key meal. I took a book and gave it a try on my own. The sides include chicken wings, chicken tenders, hummus snack plate, or various ways to prepare fries. They have soup, salad, flatbread, entree bowls, and many burgers and sandwiches. They also have all sorts of drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). It was national root beer float day (or something of the sort), so every burger came with a free root beer float. I jumped at that and got the Thunderbird Pub Burger (seasoned 6oz all beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, American Cheese, signature pub sauce Brioche Bun, served with Crispy French Fries). It was delicious!! In fact, it was better than delicious when paired with a free root beer float! They have regular hours of noon to 5 PM on weekdays (though they are open until 9 PM on Thursdays. They do have seasonal hours when they close early or entirely when classes are not in session. Happy hour specials are from 3-5 PM daily. While there are many great places to eat at ASU, I certainly recommend The Pub at Thunderbird.

Could be easy to miss, parking is very tight and you have to mostly pay for that area. They don't straight out offer a beer flight but thank goodness I asked because there's a lot of great beer options. I ended up with Sana Negra, Golden Sana, Sana Peach, Sonoran Gold, & the Cada Rana. My favorite was the Golden and Cada Rana. The other options were good but those I wanted more! I don't usually like IPAs or sweet beers and these had a perfect refreshing flavor, not too dark not too light. I also tried the mango Rana. It's okay but I felt it could have a more (fresh) mango taste. Area feels clean, bathrooms are clean. Inside and outside areas. They have a wonderful playlist of music. It's a little loud like almost have to go to the person's ear and talk. So wouldn't mind if it was a skosh lower during the daytime lol The energy from the staff is happy and helpful. a food truck came, opens at 5, la hamburguesa, a line group quickly, and it was pretty yummy very fresh tasting and good flavor. Not sure the frequency of which they come or if it's always them Love their merch, would love if they made their stickers a little smaller,love the designs Absolutely recommend coming here, can't wait to come back

Greenwood Brewing deserves more hype! Myself, my husband, and my parents were meeting friends in…read moreDowntown Phoenix. We passed AZ Wilderness and saw how busy they were so we stopped at Greenwood as they were less busy and we had never tried their beer before. My parents prefer IPA's and are tough critics, however, they liked the IPA's so much they bought a pack to take home. I'm not a huge beer drinker so I ordered the seltzer on tap and it was good + refreshing. My husband also ordered the Mango Lassi and loved it. We spoke to the staff member on site who I believe said they've been around for 6 years or so. Greenwood definitely deserves more hype as not only were their beers good but they have cute seating arrangements with an open courtyard. Definitely give Greenwood a try if you find yourself going to Downtown Phoenix!

I tried the only cider on the menu and it did not disappoint, I'm usually an IPA girl but I loved the cider it was refreshing I can't wait to be back when I have more time to chill & try their food. Upstairs has tons of seating and is a perfect spot to have a party or small gathering. Views from upstairs are so nice.

There are two large bars with various locally brewed beers on tap. Many of the beers are by Arizona Wilderness. The outside patio is shaded and does have misters for the hot summer days.

Both were delicious. The restaurant also offers a number of shareable dishes and burgers. Will be coming back to try some of the other items. Bingo had a great time people watching and loves meeting other dogs when he is there. During the weekends this place does get very packed so go early if you want a spot. Bingo definitely approved of this spot.

The Cleaverman is a really nice establishment. I have only been to the bar area on both occasions…read morebut each time I'm really impressed by the overall ambience and quality of food choices. On the first time that we ended up at this location, it was kind of Luke. We sat at the bar enjoyed happy hour and that was a nice treat. The prices are extraordinarily affordable, but I believe it's only for one hour at the beginning of opening up the establishment. On this occasion, we just had drinks, but we were so impressed with the quality of them and the service. We decided to come back and try it again. On our next occasion, we sat at the bar also, but we tried some appetizers. For this time it wasn't happy hour, and the drinks were a lot more pricey, but overall the quality was still there. For appetizers, we got the Wagyu meatballs, the duck fries, and crabcake. The crabcake was so delicious and tasty but you only get one and the price is high...high...high Anyway, I definitely wanna come back and actually get a reservation and have a dinner at this steakhouse. Was really nice about is that they do have a fresh meat display so you can see all the current cuts and what they're looking like. In addition, my understanding is they have a beef Omakase and what you basically get to try several sample sizes of meat all beef. So I thought that was kind of cool my understanding that that is not every night you must have reservations and it's a cost of pretty penny. I will come back here, it's likely gonna be a special occasion. Would love to try some of the desserts as they did have a Dubai chocolate parfait that looked divine. For this location, remember it is attached to the Arizona center, so if you do in a parking in the garage, make sure to bring in your ticket. This establishment does validate for up to two hours for parking at the Arizona center garage.

The decor was incredibly well done and made the entire experience feel special. This is truly a special occasion type of restaurant. Kat, our server, was outstanding. You could immediately tell she genuinely knew and enjoyed the menu. What stood out most was that her recommendations felt authentic and personal, not based on upselling expensive items like so many high end restaurants tend to do. She told us what she personally loved and why, and we ended up ordering almost exactly what she recommended. The oysters on the half shell were incredibly fresh and delicious. The Wagyu carpaccio was unbelievable, the latkes were amazing, and the New York strip was fantastic. To top it off, the bartender made us Mezcal Carajillos that were excellent, and we finished the night with their incredible cookie dessert. Needless to say, we needed a walk after dinner, mostly just to talk about how great the meal was and how excited we were to come back. What really pushed this experience over the top was receiving a call the next day checking in on our experience and asking for feedback. That level of hospitality is rare. Cleaver Man, you are here to stay. We'll absolutely be back.
