Great beer and wine selection, fun and causal atmosphere, and the staff are absolutely phenomenal. A hidden gem in Gilbert, for sure.

My wife and I spent a couple of hours here last night enjoying a few items from their extensive draft beer selection while discussing the nuances and intricacies of daily life. Dan, proprietor of the establishment, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the entire menu of libations. He took the time to talk to us about the constantly rotating list of beer and wine, while injecting a hearty dose of humor into the mix. Though it was our first time there, we felt welcomed and were very comfortable. It was evident that Dan really loves what he does and has fun doing it. Food options are sparse, and we did not try any, but what we saw looked delicious. Bottom line, if you are looking for a super chill local hangout and love beer and wine, look no further than the Pig. read more

Loved all the beer and wine choices. Lots of great options. Great place for locals to hang out. Happy hour prices are amazing. read more

See all

My husband and I were visiting the area. Found great reviews on this place. The reviews had it right. Fun and fantastic staff. We did not eat here - just enjoyed their vast selections of beer and wine. We asked Adian (?) for recommendations. He nailed it. How he remembered our names - must be a gift! Even though it was packed - Saturday night - the service was excellent. We really enjoyed the staff, atmosphere, music and the clientele. Wish this place was closer. Thanks guys! Oh, the hours on happy hour were super! Cheers! read more

Cozy, no frills, beer drinking kind of place. The servers are always friendly and knowledgeable and the selection of beer and wine is unbeatable. Happy hour from 1-8 is cool. Forget all the chain beer places. Drink local. Pretty sure you can bring food in, but they do offer fancy grilled cheeses and paninis. read more

Super nice beer list - flights reasonable and served quickly. Very friendly staff, and funky fun atmosphere. We were disappointed in the food available - multiple grilled cheese offerings, a charcuterie plate, or a few desserts...meh. One side of the bar is much more roomy than the other, we filled out one of the last spots available (this place is very small...) and were on the "tight" side. Not uncomfortable, but a little claustrophobic. I'll be back for the great beer selection and friendly people...and plan on eating elsewhere. read more

We wanted to try their location in Phoenix for a long time, but unfortunately we lived too far away. So we were really happy that they opened a location close to us, we went there one week after their grand opening. The whole staff of Cuisine and Wine Bistro on a night off, came and partied there ! We had a little chat with the girlfriend's owner, who recognized us when we got in. The decoration is great, the bar is made with pennies, which is pretty cool (3500 pennies if I counted correctly!) We trust Dan and Clayton for each orders of beers. Their concept is perfect, we wish them all the luck in the world! read more

Went for the first time yesterday around 215pm, it was the perfect time to go. Very laid back, comfortable atmosphere. I LOVE all the varieties of beer they offer. Daniel was behind the bar and he literally introduced himself and shook everyone's hand that sat down. You can't find awesome service like that anywhere! His recommendations were on point as well. I can't wait to go back and try more delicious beer. read more

Amazing bar with friendly, courteous staff, and a fantastic array of drink selections. They even have a menagerie of games you can play with your friends! To top it off they have a very long running daily happy hour and overall very cheap prices. Higly recommend! read more

We were happy to see the bar back up and running. Love the variety of wines and craft beer. When we go we get wine and their meat/cheese platter. Great little bar. read more

Great place with an awesome selection. Tiffany "Fanny" was personable and awesome!!! Will definitely be back!

Love it! Great beer selection (on tap, cans, bottles) friendly staff, box games, card games, board games, and chalkboard walls you can write on... Who could ask for more??? It is a bit loud when busy. Probably due to the small size. Other than that nothing bad to say about the place. They also have a brown bag surprise beer. The bartender picks a beer for you and puts it in a brown paper bag without you knowing what it is. Taste it then look. Had a couple of those and we loved it. read more

Tight seating but fun place to go for drinks. Great selection of tap beers. Also have Mede which you don't get everywhere.

Great time here, always leave happy, could be the beer but I think it's the atmosphere If you can't handle craft beers or good wines don't bother, tell them Stinky sent ya read more

I actually like this place. It's a bit hipstery, but the two guys who own it were really cool, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have an amazing selection of draft and bottled/canned beer. There are 2-3 nitro taps. I think there's a huge wine(?) selection, but I don't pay much attention to that. They also serve a few options of grilled cheese. Pretty much all of the seating is bar seating, so not a great place for a meeting. I think there's only one real table. Place opens at 3pm, and the Friday I was there, it was packed by 4-ish. Unlike Hertz, who totally sucks, this place was fast, friendly, and an overall good experience. read more

Best bar in Gilbert, AZ! The bartenders are great and their choices are great. The atmosphere is awesome and it's a smaller scale bar. It's never too loud or crazy. The people that go are regulars and are all great (: if you ever get a chance to go, definitely go! read more

Amazing assortment of both draft beer, bottles/cans, and even wine! Happy hour is 3-8.....long! Don't come for the food (need more nosh style choices) but stay for the beer! Owners are friendly and bar top games are entertaining. read more

Quaint good selection of beers and wines. Good local hang out! Not a place for too many choices for food but lots of IPA beers and good choice of wines. read more

Place and ambiance is awesome. The guy who helped us was phenomenal. Can't recall his name however. Beer selection is plentiful. Definitely going back read more

Love Whining Pig and the bartenders - a good time is always guaranteed when you come! Fantastic and varied beer menu that rotates constantly so it's never boring and has something for everyone! Their events are fun and the atmosphere can't be beat. read more

I was notified on Yelp when this place opened up. My boyfriend and I are always looking for a good place to hangout and enjoy a few beers. We went in on Sunday to check the place out. We were not disappointed! The atmosphere is nice, the lighting is good and I love the way the bar is set up. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and have many recommendations. The board is color coordinated and the bottle/can beers are sectioned by price. It makes it so easy to look at beers you are interested in. There happy hour is actually a reasonable time that can actually be made and it's everyday rather then just during the week. With over 20 beers on tap and a great price for a flight of beer, this is definitely our new place to grab a beer or two! Oh and the bar is lined with games. This place knows what they are doing! Bravo for making a great bar! read more

The Whining Pig - Gilbert - Almanac Blueberry Sour. Delicious! Cheers - Wine Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Really a cool place to come hang out. Bring a date or bring the crew. A great little place to hang out with friends. Beer selection is likely one of the best in Gilbert. The staff was very friendly and interactive, and are happy to answer any question you have. The only thing I might suggest, a little bit more of a substantial food menu. The various twists on grill cheese, while very tasty, would hardly qualify as more than a snack. Even a snack mix or bowl of nuts would help. read more

I love the the Recommendations that Blue made . The atmosphere is great . The selection of beers is amazing ! I will deff be back and Ill bring some friends ! I have never had a bartender introduce themselves and keep up a conversation! I love it here ! read more

Fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. Huge beer selection!!!!! Great concept. Love the chalkboard look and the beers that the staff will pick out for you. I often go here with my husband before or after a dinner date. read more

I came here a while back and found the entire place too cramped. My hubby is 6'4 and I'm no dainty flower so sitting at the low bar was just awkward. We stayed for one beer and left. It just didn't have the vibe I was hoping for and nobody was particularly friendly. read more

Great food, great experience! Bartenders were friendly and quick. Awesome beer selection and the meat and cheese tray was great! Good selection of meats, cheeses, nuts and fruit. We will be back-- frequently! read more

The Whining Pig - Gilbert - Nitro IPA and CalifornIPA.... Meat and cheese tray was a perfect addition! - Wine Bars Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Finally tried this place for the first time recently and am so glad I did! The bartenders and super knowledgeable about all the beer and wine they carry (which is A LOT). They have an amazingly big selection for both beer and wine and it's all very reasonably priced, even the rare times when it's not happy hour! We also tried their fig & prosciutto grilled cheese and it was delish! There's a ton of fun little games to play while you're hanging out too. I wish there were more places like this in Gilbert! It has a lot of personality and is very friendly, we will definitely come back next time hubby & I have a date night (because note: not kid friendly! Which is a-ok with me ;) ) read more

I went to the Gilbert location (Wm Field & Val Vista). Nice casual atmosphere with a great selection of both wine and beer. Basically a hole-in-the-wall with a U-shaped bar accounting for 80% of the seating. The music is not too loud so casual conversations abound and the bar tenders establish a real rapport if you start talking with them. They have an assortment of games at the bar which adds to a party atmosphere. Not really a place for eating. They have a selection of 6 paninis that are heated up using a waffle iron behind the bar. I had the pepperoni-cherry-pepper-Italian-cheese-sriracha panini and it tasted pretty good. It came with chips and a pickle, all for $6. There is also a meat & cheese platter ($13) that seems popular if there are 2 or more in your party (or you're real hungry). Unfortunately those were the only things with meat in it (and I'm a meat eater) so I'll need to grab a burger on my way home. This was the only reason they didn't get a fifth star from me! I had a couple of different beers, both stouts. These were quite good, but the alcohol content meant 2 was my limit. I'm not complaining, just they tasted like more... There were 30 different draft beers (all craft) available plus another 60 or so in bottles/cans. The wine list had over 40 different wines by-the-glass and a dozen or so bottles available! The happy hour is from 1-8PM! This basically meant that draft beers were $2 off which made one of these great beers anywhere between $3 and $6 (an excellent price, even for Gilbert)! read more

Came here for the first time and was amazed by the amount of selections they had for beer, wine, and mead. We ordered a delicious hazy IPA and split a cheese board. I loved that the cheese board came with an assortment of meats as well as nuts, olives, and apricots to break up the richness. I also loved that they were playing pop punk as well. I will definitely come back. read more

This is the best craft beer place I have been to in Arizona so far. They have an amazing selection and reasonable prices, especially during happy hour that runs until 8pm. read more

Amazing selection of beers. Staff was great. Funny and very knowledgeable about their beers. Didn't get to try any of the food. Flights were nice with about 30 on tap. Happy hour is 1-8pm. Can't beat that. Great atmosphere and Tiffany is wonderful read more

Great place to enjoy a drink with friends. Bartender was very knowledgeable regarding the different beers and wines they offer. I was able to try several that I enjoyed thoroughly. read more

Blue and Daniel are straight killin it behind the bar, star grilled cheese is tasty and the beers are great head down here my dudes

So many options to drink for wine and beer! The night I went there was live music and the artist was talking with us as we listened! Totally a good laid back vibe! read more

Best brew pub I've been to. Staff is friendly and always goes out of their way even if it's a busy night (which it is so be prepared to stand and scope out spots for when people decide to leave). read more

This was my first time here. The 3 of us really liked the large selection they had and how the menu wad color coded for which type of drink. They also have games you can play and one of the bartenders brought us a carafe of water, which is great so we didn't have to keep waiting at the bar. I will definitely be back read more

So I have been to this place on two separate occasions. The first was on a Thursday night and the place was so packed I couldn't even get a bartenders attention so I decided to leave. The second time was less busy on a Monday night and we were able to order some wine. The staff did take longer than expected to acknowledge us but once they did we were able to get good service. They only offer grilled cheese combos and a charcuterie board and the charcuterie board was sold out when we went. The grilled cheese was decent but I would probably stick to just drinks next time around. The great thing about this place is the happy hour is extended until 8pm, this gives us late workers time to make it to a bar for a drink after a long day of work. This place is small but has a good variety of drink choices. read more

Great little hole in the wall. Amazing selection of wines, beers and ciders. Great social environment with board games and friendly staff. Definitely on my go back to list. Only down side is not much for food, I would recommend getting dinner somewhere and then going to The Whining Pig for a nice evening out. read more

Everything is amazing! Beer wine food and service; everything they do is on point. Make it there if you're around.

I like that this brings something different to the East Valley. Love the drink choices. Great place for girls night.
