The Tastiest Beer, Wine & Spirits in Mesa

Honey + Vine

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (61)

"Cute little restaurant inside the casino. Great seating and no wait even on a Saturday night. Our server was fantastic, kind and efficient. The U10 scallops and short ribs entrée was very good. Scallops were a very good size and the short ribs were super tender. We also tried the crabcake appetizer. I will say, although it tasted good, I was disappointed that it was not fried or crispy. The potato and spinach soup was way better than I expected. It was thinner than your typical potato soup but still delicious. Overall it was super good and glad we tried it."

Spokes On Southern

★★★★☆ 3.8 (431) • $$

"Recently I attended a convention in the area, so my friends and I wanted to try a local spot nearby. Yelp search led me to this location, and I'm so glad we stopped by as our server Melissa was fantastic! When we arrived, it was easy to seat ourselves as there is plenty of seating both indoors and on the patio. I can see the patio being gorgeous during the winter and spring, which just means we will have to visit again. We started with some starters which my friends kept raving about the Brussels sprouts, which intrigued me to inquire if they can make vegetarian next time so I can partake. My queso dip and chips was a great way to start, and we all enjoyed the starters.For our entrees, we all tried something different ranging from grilled cheese (mine) to sandwiches and a burger. We all loved what we chose and loved the waffle fries. I definitely could see us returning and the brunch menu peeked my interest as I think it could be a beautiful patio brunch in the winter. Always looking for a great location with a patio to get fresh air for weekend brunches with friends.Overall, a really great experience and if in the area then I would check this location out! Don't forget dessert as you can get it to go. The creme brûlée cheesecake is delicious and definitely get the caramel sauce as it was divine to add on top. Yum!"

Humble Bistro - Gilbert

★★★★☆ 4.1 (448) • $$

"Great service! Our server, Emily, came and checked on us often. At first, everything on the menu seemed too spicy for my mom so we were going to go next door, but Emily told us they could leave the jalapeño and spicy aioli off so we decided to stay. So glad we did, the food was so good! The atmosphere was very nice, very clean and simple. The only improvement is that the music could have been a little quieter. But other than that Humble Bistro was great!"

Big Bear Tobacco

★★★★★ 4.5 (10) • $$

"Been my go to when I live here in the valley. Also my go to when I lived out of state and visited. Always have what I want even if its not a need. Never rude. I have been greater by remembered staff and owner are cool people.thanks big bear for being there."

Tap N Tikka

★★★★★ 4.6 (236) • $$

"Wow!! This spot is a gem!! We happen to be in the area and dropped in for dinner. Casual ambiance, with good prices. There was a wait but we sat at the bar because it was available. Renee was awesome friendly, professional and really knew the food. The food was so good we ordered chicken tikki it came with rice and we plain and it was so delicious I will be making a point to stop in when I am in the area."

AJ's Fine Foods

★★★★☆ 3.7 (244) • $$$

"This store kind of reminds me of a Whole Foods on a smaller scale. They have lots of lovely specialty gourmet items but be ready to spend some bucks. You can even get what's considered the world's finest salmon- Copper River salmon for $59.99/lb which is not something you can find at other grocery stores. My favorite thing about the store is their flower section, both real and fake. Their fake flowers look so real and very beautiful that it's worth the spendy prices. The pastries are really good here and I appreciate they have a free water station which is very thoughtful for the customers. Checked out their individual pizza slices but they looked burnt and unappetizing. The ready to eat food section didn't look as inviting as they have on prior visits."

Virginia Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (20) • $$

"There is never too much of a good thing and this place proves it. Amazing, awesome prices on growler fills. I haven't found cheaper in Phoenix. His prices are the same or cheaper than the breweries they are made at in California and Arizona. Belching Beaver is LOWER then the Ocean Beach location in San Diego. He has a wider selection of top notch breweries than Wandering Tortoise and his growler fills are significantly less. Why fill your growlers anywhere else...we won't. If you want the bar experience head over to Whining Pig or the Wandering Tortiose but if you're looking to fill your growler eith excellenf craft beer from all over the U.S. COME HERE!!! I checked the bottle selection prices and compared it to nearby locations as well the breweries we just went to in California. These prices are the same or less. So whatever your craft beer needs are come here. Alley pup sure will. The man behind the counter was super awesome with excellent customer service. They even sell growlers in glass and stainless steel cheaper than any place we have been to so far. This spot won't disappoint. Don't need to take my word for it...check this place out on tap hunters and get ready to be amazed."

Liquor Square

★★★★☆ 3.5 (13) • $$

"Well we first walked in just for lotto tickets but ended up talking with the owner Butch. First off super friendly and welcoming. Had some great liquor recommendations as well. The selection of liquor in general was awesome! So much to choose from. We will definitely be back, very nice company.General appearance inside is super bright and clean. Floors are really nice looking as well."

Can't Stop Smokin' BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (595) • $$

"Food was good. Service was good. BBQ sauce was good. Most of us in our group of 5 had a pulled pork sandwich as part of a lunch special ($6.99 for a sandwich, chips, and a fountain drink). Great deal! We added some sides just to try them out. Corn or the cob, the cooked carrots, and the potato salad were all yummy. What stood out & was so surprising was the fact that you are served your meal by a robot named Mickey!This totally reminded me of the robot in the movie, "Flight of the Navigator." It seemed so futuristic at that time that I didn't imagine any such technology would ever be developed in my lifetime when I first saw that movie back in the 80s. How far we have come is truly incredible.The gal at the front counter who took our order was so sweet. We came back at the end of lunch to order a cookie for one of my kids, and she could have just grabbed it and handed it to me. However, since she understood my children's fascination with the robot, she had Mickey bring the cookie to our table. SO COOL! Thanks for a fantastically memorable lunch. Ambiance was really neat as well. Had a warm, fun feel. Loves the theme. Novelties/gifts were also available. We will be back for sure. Positive experience to say the least."

Empire Discount Liquors

★★★★☆ 3.8 (11)

"the owner and his workers are so sweet!great price to buy lotto tickets for gifts!"

Sidecar Social Club

★★★★★ 4.6 (73)

"Intimate bar tucked away on the Ocotillo property. It's the shipping container, but inside it feels like a swanky cocktail lounge. We enjoyed the atmosphere - the red lighting, black marble, and leather. We loved the Purple Does Something Strange to Me (bourbon, rum, aperitif, elderberry, pineapple, lemon). We thought the Serpent in the Garden was okay, it was like a spiked chili soda (gin, rum, chili, cucumber, ginger, lime, carbonation)."

Von Hanson's Meats & Spirits

★★★★☆ 4.3 (273) • $$

"I was in the area and stopped in today. I'm always in the look out for Braunschweiger for my husband. I didn't have any luck on that front today. But left with a huge piece of garlic jerky, two different types of brats, a summer sausage and a jalapeño breakfast sausage. My hubby is going to be so happy! I was impressed by their huge selection. The steaks looked amazing, and I'll be back for those! What a fun find. I'm excited to try the brats and sausages."

Edge Grill and Bar

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Alright food (not excellent), good prices too. But great patio with a view of the golf course, so the average meal is worth it."

Moon Pie Pizza & Patio

★★★★☆ 4 (32)

"I had seen how cool this placed on social media and finally made it in this past weekend. Parking was easy to find as there is a parking garage right in front of the entrance. We made it on in and saw the sign that said "seat yourself." A few tables were dirty and still had plates / cups from previous guests so we settled for a corner spot.Our server came over a few minutes later and he was very friendly. He brought us waters and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. We ordered:Two alcoholic drinks (don't remember the names) One meatball and ricotta pizzaThe drinks were really good as they were not too strong and went down smoothly. The pizza was delicious! It's not the typical pan crusted pizza, as this one is thin and basically has no crust. It was very flavorful and had a good crisp to it! The meatballs were really good!Overall we had a great time. The music was bumping, the server was friendly, and the service was quick. We will be back!"

Gadzooks Enchiladas and Soup

★★★★☆ 4 (322) • $$

"I have been sleeping on Gadzooks for a few years now. I thought... "soup & enchiladas, I don't get it".... until I was injured and could only eat liquids. First order was delivery through their website by way of Yelp. I ordered the tortilla and the corn chowder.... added deluciousness to the tortilla and left the chowder as was with the lava sauce on the side. They're not joking about lava on the salsa. I added a bit too much to a plain chowder and it was far too spicy for me...Next time, I ordered the potato enchiladas and chicken tacos, again through the app. They were out of potato, I learned when the dasher deluvered the order with a missing item and I called the restaurant. I don't typically eat meat and the tacos weren't for me. I was bummed the restaurant employee was unaware of how I placed the order, considering I did it direct on their site. So, the communication was not relayed until I called. I am not dropping points because it was so good, a bit salty for me but not overly so. As I said, the guy over the phone was pleasant and answered the question quickly about why I was missing an item and had already refunded the amount. I will order again, or go in."

Gadzook's Enchiladas & Soup

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (4)

"Cold burritos, cheese wasn't even melted worse burrito ever. Never again tasted terrible"

56th St Deli & Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (59)

"Synopsis: Reminds me of delis back home in New York; great feel, kind folks, amazing sandwiches. Girlfriend and I are vacationing in the Phoenix area and wanted sandwiches while we visited the Botanical Garden and Zoo. We found this place while looking through recommendations. It's your traditional convenience store with a deli attached to it. The guys working the market were incredibly nice. We placed our orders quickly, pastrami sandwich and a club. Didn't do any sides but we did grab some unique chips and fountain drinks. Our sandwiches were done in about 5 minutes and were well worth the wait. We were thrilled with our stop at the 56th Street Deli. Between the food, the service, and the selection it was a great choice for our sandwich fix. 5 Deli Fresh Stars out of 5!"

Persepshen

★★★★★ 4.5 (228)

"Located in an eccentric hexagonal building across from Brophy Prep is Persepshen. They have made it their own with additions and boast a great patio to enjoy with a group. This once housed Heap Big Beef in the 1960s and there is a piece of artwork that hangs near the restrooms done in a mid-century modern style that will give you an idea of the vibe.We made reservations on a Saturday night with friends and I recommend making reservations. We still had to wait about 15mins to be seated due to lack of staff. Although the restaurant is not huge, there are 3 people in the kitchen and 3 serving tables and making drinks. I believe the wait for our table had more to do with the kitchen keeping up with the tables already seated. We were in no rush so we didn't mind. It just felt awkward since the host really didn't give us an explanation. As we waited, we looked over the menu and figured out our plan of what to eat. Here's what we ordered:Roasted sunchokes Polenta street friesShrimp fra diablo Korean BBQ chicken wingsWood grilled lamb chopPan seared wild scallop paella Meyer lemon meringue We did everything family style and ate it as it came out of the kitchen. We really enjoyed everything and especially noted the perfectly cooked scallops and felt our favorite was the shrimp dish. The dessert was a perfect ending to the experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy like a lodge and the utensils and glassware really are eclectic touches that make this a groovy vibe and add to the overall experience."

Ingo’s Tasty Food

★★★★★ 4.5 (250) • $$

"Had lunch at Ingo's Tasty Food while attending an event at the Phoenix Convention Center. Ingo's is within walking distance. The space is bright and inviting. It's a two-story restaurant with second floor seating. We were greeted warmly as soon as we entered. The staff was very patient and helpful as we asked questions and took our time deciding.We ordered the following:Black and white $4.75Toni's deviled eggs $5Heirloom brown rice bowl (x2) $13.50Cheeseburger $11Fresh shattered potato chips $6.50The food was light and delicious! We started with Toni's deviled eggs. Great combo of German mustard, Laurel Chanel goat cheese, and pickled beet. I had the heirloom brown rice bowl for my entree which came with sorrel pesto, kale, feta cheese, pickled mushrooms, pepitas, five-minute egg, sesame seeds, and dill. My only regret is not getting at least two eggs to add more protein. Otherwise, it was a very good dish. My husband ordered the same bowl, but without the feta cheese and also loved it. Our son ordered the cheeseburger and potato chips, which he devoured within minutes. I was able to sample the potato chips. It had sea salt, cracked pepper with lebni and/or homemade lacto-fermented hot sauce. It's a must!Before leaving, I ordered the black and white coffee which is their 24-hour cold brew coffee lightly sweetened and topped with mint cold foam. It's excellent. We're already talking about our next visit."

The Hitching Post

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (278) • $$

"Live music patio amazing food and libations great. Prices very reasonable. Staff on point! Enjoy. A must for visitors."

Adventurous Stills

★★★★★ 5 (80) • $$

"Adventurous Stills was truly a great find! Don't get me wrong, I don't take credit for finding it... rather that goes to Christina and our awesome Yelp team... but this was a great find! The location is a little off the beaten path... but once you find your way here, then you will be grateful you did!Every hour is terrific at Adventurous Stills but Happy Hour is my favorite time there with some wonderful discounts on their cocktails that the bartenders craft oh-so-skillfully! And the cocktails are where it's at here -- I dare you to find a drink that you don't like - they're all so damned good!It's really a cool environment altogether... from the front seating area with the bar as the main focus along with a few tables and other seating areas... to the back area where the magic all happens - with their distilling machines (that's my totally generic way of describing it... sorry) and barrels of delicious (or soon to be delicious) spirits! The owner offers tours every hour or so... and I would recommend you spend some of your time taking a tour.This is one of those local five star gems that we are lucky to have so close to home! *****FIVE STARS*****"

Atlas Wines

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"My favorite place to buy wine. Great selection and friendly service. Has the hard to find bottles as well like 2018 Shafer Hillside Select"

Barnone

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50) • $$

"Loved this spot! It's connected to some fun, eclectic shops that were fun to check out.My friend and I had lunch here, enjoying a fresh wedge salad and pizza in the sunshine! It was the perfect spot to spend time with a friend and get a quick bite. The area is really beautiful and we enjoyed a walk through the community garden before heading across the street for food. I'd recommend this spot and would love to come back and try it again."

In The Zone

★★★☆☆ 3 (6)

"The selection of hard to find liquor here is unbelievable! I found a bourbon that I've been looking for for over a year! And they had four bottles. I couldn't believe it. The gentleman behind the counter that I spoke with, offered to get me more. Great customer service will definitely return. And if you're looking for a great bourbon, try Blade and Bow jus t make sure to leave me a bottle."

One Stop Gas and Foodmart

★★★★★ 4.8 (14) • $$

"The best place around to purchase craft beer. Constantly rotating stock, great bottles, and draft selection. Other is awesome guy as well"

Ingo's Tasty Food

★★★★☆ 4.3 (789) • $$

"Fresh and local food here at Ingo's. I love the fish and chips. The flaky white fish is subtle and mild tasting. The batter is very thin not too much but just right. The chips and tarter sauce are very good. Everything was made to order.It's a great spot to eat clean with a plenty of options to choose from. The building architecture is really cool too. It's round and more spacious for outside dining on the patio rather than on the inside. It's off the corner with beautiful trees around for shade and nice scenery."

Urban Craft

★★★★☆ 3.5 (20) • $$

"This is just for the bar itself. Located inside the Embassy Suites. Decent bar and plenty of tables inside and out. They do server food but it was all about the liquor for me. Prices were very affordable and the pours were very heavy. The bartender is good and he evens remembers you. Good place for some beverages."

Shop Kwik Deli

★★★★★ 5 (6) • $

"This is a good neighborhood liquor/convenience store. So often you walk into these types of places and they smell or are really dirty, luckily this one isn't. Prices are reasonable and the employee who helped me was friendly too."

Freely Taproom & Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.6 (137) • $$

"My first time to Freely and I was not disappointed! Stopped in on a Monday evening with a friend for their $25 bottle of wine + flatbread deal, and what a great combo! The deal is all day Monday and Tuesday and applies to any flatbread and bottle of wine. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too busy and parking was easy in the strip mall area. You order at the counter and then sit at one of their comfortable tables and your food is brought out to you. Their wine selection is decent and we ordered the Hey Mambo flatbread. We also ordered the simple Italian salad to share and it was the perfect meal. The flatbreads are good sized with generous toppings and the crust is tasty as well. They have other specials at Freely so highly recommend checking it out!"

d'Vine Gourmet

★★★★★ 4.8 (38) • $$

"As I was leaving the bakery cafe, I passed by d'Vine Gourmet's new location in downtown Chandler. Their retail store just moved September 25th from the Promenade in Fulton Ranch off Alma School Road to S. San Marcos Place. This cute store, still sells offer locally made crafts, candles, home decor, specialty food items and custom gift baskets. Their homemade caramels, homemade mustard and wine jellies are also nicely displayed. I left with a jar of black pepper Merlot wine jelly and will soon see how it pairs with a tender steak off my grill!"

Gilbert Convenient Mart

★★★★☆ 3.8 (60) • $$

"I have visited this store several times and each time I not only leave with liquid happiness. I leave happy with the kindness of the staff and the amazement of all the shelves and fridges that filled with the many many bottles of alcohol. If you value customer service and need to buy alcohol and want to do it locally I couldn't recommend a better place."

Trevor's Liquor

★★★★☆ 4 (50)

"Beautiful build out! The bar is stunning, cocktails are great & service here is exceptional. Famous for their pizzas, but branch out & try other things too - quality food! High end liquor store and cigar lounge. Not going to find bottom shelf prices but great for novelty items and gifts! Patio is huge and there's seating everywhere! Peep the custom ice carving."
