    Beers

    I had the pleasure of stumbling upon this gem while in Phoenix for the weekend. Great beer, reasonable prices, and good service. No complaints here.

    a beer and a can
    Jolinda B.

    We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. They have Happy Hour everyday from open-7pm. I had a hard time deciding; beer or wine. They had a Tempranillo which I really enjoy. However, I chose beer during this visit. The bartender was sweet and we trusted her suggestions. She made each selection for us and we enjoyed each of our drinks. We spent a few hours. It's a pretty small space, a few couples filled it rather quickly. It never felt too crowded while we were there. They offer small snacks and you can order food and have it delivered if you wish.

    Right off Bethany in a small shopping strip mall. Such an amazing selection of beer to choose from . Prices are pretty good, bottles only. If you can make it for Happy hour the prices are even better. If you get lucky enough to get the bearded bartender, he is very knowledgeable about all the beers and will get you exactly what you're looking for! Sorry about the blurry beer selection, guess I had a few to many.

    Why do I like the whining pig? It is a very quaint and casual establishment. Walking in it feels like Cheers from television and also like your home. Everybody seems accepted right away and you build bonds. Both the wine and beer lists are well conceived with a wide array of offerings to please almost any palate. They have quite a selection of games that you can sit and play and challenge your mind, as you get intoxicated and think about calling your Uber. My wife and I just enjoy those neighborhood down home feeling establishments and this is definitely one of those. We really enjoyed our time here as it was our 1st visit and we will be back again. Thank you for the hospitality we really enjoyed it and meeting the proprietor as well as Gretchen. #irishcatv2

    Good place for beers, but very tight and crowded. When you walk in, it's just a bar with seats around the bar. Lots of different beers to choose from, something for everyone. IPA, sours, hops, ales, porters...etc. Bartender was nice and friendly. I went with Orange Blossom, which is a locally brewed beer. It was fresh and crisp. There are games around the bar area to play while you drink, which is fun. Food selection is small, just a few different grilled cheeses to pick from,

    Stopped in this past Thursday night. Was warming welcomed. Love the vibe here. I've only been once before. After looking over the menu my friend ordered the mystery wine and I ordered my choice. Mine tasted very off. For $12 I decided to say something. The bartender tried it and agreed.. it had turned. No problem. Here is another glass. She apologized and couldn't have been nicer. That is one of the many reasons I will return! Awesome place!!

    Meat and Cheese Plate $14
    Dianna N.

    Meat and Cheese Plate $14: I wasn't super hungry for dinner, so charcuterie and a glass of wine sounded like a good idea to me. I think even on a more empty stomach I would've found this filling. I definitely think it's good for 2 people to share! I was there around 8:30 PM on a Wednesday and the board said they were out of grilled cheeses. If you have your heart set on that plus a glass of wine, maybe call ahead to double check. As far as I know, everything is written on the huge chalkboard, rather than a printed menu. This suggests their selection changes often. It was hard for me to see everything, but I was in the mood for a moscato and they only had one choice for that anyways. The bartender, Andrew, did seem knowledgeable if you needed recommendations. The place is relatively small. I didn't notice any tables, just the kind of U-shaped bar, and I think there was a counter with seating along one wall. Still, it's a chill spot to stop by for a glass or 5 of wine and catch up with friends or a date! ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

    Came in tonight and saw our favorite bartender Bruno. He is always super chill and very welcoming. He makes everyone feel like a regular. He's a good vibes bartender and always so polite.

    Does anyone know if they have live music and if so when? Thank good

    Yes, not live music since the place is too small. Personally, I love the music and it makes me want to be there for hours.

    Whining Pig came up on my Yelp search for a Chicago Bears bar. Anybody know if that is accurate? Want a place to watch Bears Packers tomorrow.

    Sorry hope you got your answer Iam late to this but I do know theres a bears bar in Chandler

    What time is your happy hour?

    Everyday from 3pm-8pm at our Bethany Home and Arcadia locations and 1pm-8pm at our Downtown and Gilbert locations.

That great first impression carried through the entire visit. Vince was an outstanding bartender.

Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat down as we normally do. While I was walking to the restroom, which is located past the kitchen area, I heard a server/bartender we've seen several times before ask the cook, in an obviously annoyed tone, if two people had just arrived. When he said yes, she responded, "Who the fuck!?" The cook then looked directly at me. At that point, I honestly felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave. We decided to stay since my boyfriend had already ordered a beer, but the experience immediately felt different. We felt like our presence was an inconvenience simply because we came in an hour before closing. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. We ordered the beef skewers and a burger. The skewers were okay, but they were not nearly as good as we remembered them being. The burger, however, arrived completely cold. What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.

From the food to the service, everything was chef's kiss! It was our first time there, so we weren't sure what to order. Our server was absolutely AMAZING. She was so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful with her recommendations. I asked if they had raspberry or peach sweet iced tea, and instead of just saying no, she literally came up with her own concoction for me! That little extra touch meant so much. She even took the time to chat with us about where we were headed because we had a flight to catch. She was incredibly friendly, personable, and made us feel like more than just another table. And THE FOOD?! Absolutely delicious. We especially loved the shrimp dish so much that we ordered TWO more plates to go so we could eat them at the gate while waiting for our flight! lol That should tell you everything you need to know. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, but honestly, the customer service is what made this visit unforgettable. This woman deserves ALL the recognition because she was giving A1 service from beginning to end. I actually called the restaurant afterward because I wanted to find out her name, and I was told Ashley. I really hope that's the right girl because that name definitely rings a bell! If it is her, Ashley, THANK YOU! You were so kind to my mom and me and made our experience so special. So if you're in the Phoenix area, ruuuuuuun!!!

A friend and I originally planned to meet at…read morethe 7th Street location at 6 p.m., which is still listed on their website as one of two locations. I arrived a bit before 6 to find it closed, no sign on the door and nothing online stating it had closed. So we headed downtown to the second location. I arrived about 6:10 pm and was asked if I had a reservation. I explained that we went to the other location only to find it closed and when we called the only number on the website to make a reservation (earlier in the day), no one answered the phone. We called multiple times. The guy at the door informed us the other location had closed and he couldn't seat us until 8 pm unless we wanted to sit at the bar. I asked to speak with a manager and was told there was no manager there. A restaurant should always have a manager or someone on site empowered to address customer concerns. We agreed to sit at the bar. First we ordered cocktails for $17 each. While they were tasty and refreshing, they had virtually no alcohol. I ordered the Kra Pow and, on the server's recommendation, chose the pork belly. My friend ordered the Pad Ki-Mao with pork belly. After waiting 30-45 minutes for the food, it finally arrived. Mine was dry pieces of pork belly, dry rice, an egg and three cucumber slices, no sauce whatsoever. When I asked for sauce, I was offered soy sauce and hot chili. My friend's noodles were tasty, but she also thought her pork belly was dry. The server, who was also the host and bartender didn't check in on us a single time during our meal. Between the outdated website, unanswered phone, lack of management and service, long wait and underwhelming food and drinks, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. I expected much more from this place.

I hadn't tried this location on 7th until just recently, when I came by during happy hour with some friends. There is a spacious parking lot tucked away in the back, opposite of the street view side. This is also where the entrance is! Walk toward the breezeway and it's to your right. Immediately, we were greeted by our host and the warm/inviting atmosphere. I'm impressed by how well decorated both LeDu locations are, in unique ways. We got the fried tofu, passion fizz, lychee martini, jungle bird, and my usual pad thai with beef and beansprouts on the side. Passion Fizz: passion fruit, demerera, sparkling wine - sweet, light, refreshing Lychee martini: vodka, lychee, dry vermouth, lime - sweet, strong, lychee flavor is perfect and not overpowering Jungle Bird: spiced rum, campari, pineapple, lime - sweet, deep flavor from the rum Fried tofu: a little dry even with the sauce, a small portion for the price, not my favorite Pad thai: tangy/sweet, packed with flavor, always delicious from LeDu! Definitely down for another happy hour or meal here anytime!
