Desert Monks Brewing

Absolutely love this place! Bartenders are always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to serve. They will come to you once you sit down, which seems like it should be norm, but lately I've been going to places that require you to order at the bar. Lots of board and card games for the whole family to play. Live music on certain nights. They do not serve food, but get a food truck every once in a while and are allowed to bring your own food in. Every time I've been here, I always find a handful of beers I really like. Best place for flights!

One of my friends suggested we meet up for a sweet treat at the bakery across the way, then come for a drink at Desert Monks Brewing. Parking can be a little tricky, but we were able to find a spot on a Saturday summer afternoon. I can imagine it could be difficult in the busy winter season. Since it's summer, it was also full of amble amounts of seating. The staff were incredibly friendly and took our order quickly. I loved that they had a soda option and a small pour of a beer, since I was trying to avoid drinking much. My friend loved her flight, and this is an all around return if in the area!

Soooo....the atmosphere and staff are great. 5 stars there! I just didn't like any of the beers. We tried 2 flights of 5, so tasted a total of 10 beers, and I honestly didn't want a full glass of any of them. Very fun place tho. Tons of games. They also do DnD nights and Trivia nights. They also have gender neutral bathrooms, which, c'mon y'all...this needs to be the norm! And a community hand washing station which I love (we can all see you). Finally, there are signs all over encouraging people to get home safe. Great vibes! Just wished the beer was better.

DMB was a nice comfy find in our area. It was surprisingly light on patrons for a Saturday evening - more surprising than the relatively early closing time of 9pm - although, would make sense if it's usually this slow. The beer selection wasn't as wide as I've been accustomed to with local breweries of similar size. I enjoyed the house brewed spicy beer (coyote something) and I'm always partial to the coffee flavored beers - beyond that, my tastebuds just didn't seem to line up with their selection. Staff was super attentive - checking in regularly Parking is available nearby

Chill ambience with a great selection of beers that rotate on seasons. Service was friendly and spot on, give em a try and have a flight, or two!

Location was nice but the price seemed a bit high for a pint and personally was not a fan of some of their beers I tried- may be good for others taste buds or in different seasons. Staff was friendly and nice and no issues with services

Great brewery. They have a good selection of beers and they introduce new ones often. It's a super chill spot, it can get pretty packed when they have Trivia night which is every Thursday. Sometimes they have food trucks and you can bring your own food which is nice since there are quite a few options nearby. I personally just have beers when I come here. They have inside and outside seating and quite a few board games and foosball. Service has always been good. I like that they keep their website up to date with events. Coconut telegraph is one of my fav beers, super unique.

Nice little gathering place. Good craft beer and friendly bartenders. Have fun there every time

Great service and tasty beer options! Appreciate being able to hit the food truck on the way in for eats as well. Great vibe!

Okay I do not know how I have not posted a review for Desert Monks yet! This is hands down our favorite brewery in the Gilbert area. The always have good delicious beer options and the ambiance is just the best. They have tons board games to play, video games, foosball, and so much more. The staff are always super friendly and we just have a great experience here every single time. We are here several times a month. Some days they have food trucks and any other time you can bring in your own food. We often start at Taste Buds across the street for the kids and take it into Monks where mom and dad get our treat ;) It is great! Then when they are done they have a blast with the board games, video games and even toys for our two year old. They have something for everyone! There's tons of seating, both indoors and outdoors. They also host a lot of great events from trivia to live music. If you haven't been here yet, check them out! We absolutely love this place!Pros:*Great beer*Wonderful staff*Occasional food trucks*Games galore*Great for kids*Plenty of seatingCons:*Absolutely none
