happy to have discovered that Tempe has a locals-vibe kind of brewery where service and rapport building are a big focus! The bartender was friendly and engaging. Situated in the corner of a strip mall the brewery is surprisingly equipped with a large patio area that is mostly fenced in for any little ones or dogs. lol. Inside there are mainly high tops and several tables to sit at. If you want a bite to eat, there is a a taco spot off to the right of the bar service up some yummy eats and I included a separate review on it.I felt that they had a good selection on tap from sours to mostly IPAs which I was a fan of several we tasted! Overall I'd come back to enjoy some more of their brews!

Just recently found out about Catalyst and was looking forward to a new spot in the neighborhood. Very clean inside and out with plenty of seating. I love the fact that you can order food at Salt and the window is right next of the bar. There are a ton of drink options, including beers, seltzers and ciders! The bartender was friendly, but had a bit of a wait at the bar since he was the only one working and chatting with other customers. I would recommend others to stop in and try them out. Would come back !

I visited over the weekend for my fifth time and had terrible service. I sat at the bar and it took over ten minutes to be acknowledged. I eventually ordered a beer and tried waving down the bartender for another 45 minutes before leaving money with my friend and giving up. Bartender had zero interest in serving customers. Won't be back again!

Met up with friends and this place is so chill! As I was walking up the brewery I saw the big patio which would be so nice in the spring. I walked in and there was a good amount of seats/tables. The bar is pretty big and has a lot of beers on tap. The aesthetic is open and modern and all of the beer dispensers were silver. It looked very sleek, and added an extra touch. The bartender was very nice and offered to do a tab right away, which I liked. Then on the other side bar is the window/kitchen for S.A.L.T. You can order tacos, burritos, bowls, and other goodies while you drink! Two businesses in one! I am also one who needs to eat while I drink. I can't wait to come back and relax and try the other beers/ciders they have on tap!

Great staff including Jo along with Alex n Will their brewers. Check out their new food menu. Great selection of their own beers along with colabs

Not impressed with service. Workers and owners are rude and shady. Won't be going there again.

I stopped in because another place I was going to try was closed. So, I jumped on Yelp to find something else close that I had been eyeing. They share a space with another business. S.A.L.T. Tacos. I noticed many patrons enjoying tacos, which is a good sign. The gentleman next to me ordered a few tacos and they smelled amazing! For my next visit, I will definitely be bringing my appetite and trying them.I enjoyed a couple of beers. I started with #27: Nitro Mango Soleil Blonde Golden Ale 5% ABV my 2nd was #15 Mr. Brightside Pale Ale Belgian 5.9 ABV. Both were good, but #15 was my favorite. They have sooooo many options, that I look forward to my next visit.All the staff were incredible and attentive, making sure we were taken care of. The beer-tender knew his beer and if you tell him what flavors you enjoy he'll guide you in the right direction. They had lacrosse on the TV which I was not interested in, but the guy sitting next to me was interested in learning more about the sport and the beer-tender was telling him all about it. Plenty of seating inside and they had a large patio for all of your needs.

Food has been totally upgraded. Smash burger is a must try! Beer as always amazing!!

Wow! A special Tempe brewery close to Sloan/Cub's field. Great beer and food options. Thank you Josephine for the lunch special, Happy Hour, IPA and other chow recommedations!
