Great new place, definitely will be back. Beer selection is outstanding. No food, but there is a food truck that sits right outside most nights and you can bring it in. This place also allows dogs! My only negative was the live music, while good, was so loud that I couldnt hear my friends taking without yelling at each other. Its a small enough space that you really cant get away from it either, which is a shame. Hopefully that isnt every night.

I wanted to spread the evangelical glory of The Wandering Tortoise They have a solid selection of both draft and bottles. Justin is an awesome guy and the building is great! Ive played Cards Against Humanity with strangers and Im pretty sure I saw an N64 in the corner. If youre in the area you definitely need to check this place out. They have wine as well so everyone is happy. Its 1500 feet east of Helton and 1.7 miles north of Wren House.

Awful service. Owners were quick to point out that they were the owners. Odd behavior and one was a little creppy. Parking is a major problem. Selection of beers are sours and IPAs. Dog friendly, but the place is like a kennel. Dogs were running behind the bar and one person even put their dog on the counter. One of the owners dogs was a aggressive towards people walking in to. Not going back. Ok with going to the Whining Pig instead.

Man this place is lousy. Went there a few nights ago and met their owner. Geez this guy is a piece of work. So unbelievably arrogant. Outside of just flat our poor service, I heard this guy tell a few people at the bar to call him daddy. What a douche man. Something was wrong with a few of their beers too. Just didnt taste right, like they have been sitting in the keg too long. Seriously people, dont go to this place.

Whats not to love about this place?? Heres a list of reasons to go: 1. They open at 12 2. Happy hour goes til 7:30! 3. Nightly food truck 4. Live music Monday- Wednesday 5. Great (but small) wine list 6. Amazing beer choices!!! (Something for everyone and at least 3 IPAs) 7. Very cool owners Place is great- chill vibe and somewhere I could spend the whole day. Definitely check it out and support local business owners!

Such a rad and rotating selection of beer, these folks really know how to keep their offerings fresh, particularly with hosting other brewery releases. I also super, super appreciate how they offer various sizes pours, cuz sometimes you just want a little of a 12% bonanza. Board and some video games, along with pooches allows and a nice outdoor seating area makes this up and coming place a good time.

Its a really small place with a great vibe. We randomly found this place and stopped in for a beer and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Luckily they have a happy hour and we were able to try some really good beer for a cheap price. It sounds like they have a revolving tap list so Ill be excited to go back and try new things.

Nice place, great beer list with good pricing options with 4,8, and 16 oz pours. Nice bottle selection too. Only complaint is that the music was obscenely loud on a Thursday. It was almost impossible to have a conversation if youre sitting near the back by the speakers.

Great beer selection with a friendly atmosphere. Perfect place to bring your pooch sine they have a dog friendly area in the back. The best part, if you love a beer they have many options to take it home by the bottle or six pack.

A GREAT selection of beers. Plus meads from one of the best from Flagstaff and wine as well. Good bottle selection and happy hour from 12-730! .50 off 4oz, 1$ off 8oz, and 2$ off most drafts. If you really like good beer, go here.

4/5 stars. I believe there is always room for improvement. 98.999% of the time there is solid service. Both of the owners are very meticulous and I would say the beer pricing is very reasonable for what you get. Cheers.

Cute little place...could be hard to find though. Parking lot was too small, so you have to park next door. But it was a nice little place with a good vibe about it. I would go back.

Craft beer must. Had two 8 oz samples and a 6 oz sample of some dank beer! Staff had great recommendations for bottles. I could have spent the afternoon there, easy.

Only beer and wine here, but it looks like they have different food trucks there each night if youre hungry. Nice tap beer selection and some interesting bottles.

Great tap and bottle selection make this a great place to hang with friends for a long time. Having Superstition Mead available certainly doesnt hurt either.

Small, seating is very limited. Beer list is very good and diverse. Staff was very attentive. Cool little hipster tap house.

Best beer bar in phoenix. Hands down. Selection favors a variety of ipas, imperial stouts in fall/winter, and sours.

Great beers on tap that you cant get other places. Wall coolers available for the grab-and-go. Parking is terrible.
