The Whining Pig Desert Ridge

Great date spot for happy hour. Austin and Kyle were friendly and fantastic bartenders. The selection of beers and cocktails is extensive, so whatever your preference is for beer, they have something that fits. Would definitely come here again. They also sell drinks to go, so if you find something you like, you can take it home and enjoy it later.

My friends and stopped here after our brunch on a Saturday afternoon. We love the speakeasy vibe which is what this was like!Once we got in, the space looked great and was spacious but it felt cold not in the temperature sense but the servers felt like we were bothering them when we ordered our drinks.We got espresso martini all around which was delicious. We asked the bar tender how he made it and he was a little rude so we won't be coming back! I still gave this spot a 2 star cause the place was tidy and the drink was delicious.

Their hours of operation are really great for a late night weekday place to meet a few friends. The vibe of heading downstairs through a side door or back entrance is pretty cool and not typical of what we tend to find around town. Of course the selection of beers is amazing, just about anything you can think of they have. Plenty of non-alcoholic beer options that accommodate even alcohol free patrons very well. The service was great, and the only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because it's a fairly small snack food type menu and they were out of Brie cheese for their cheese board. When food options are limited, I think it's important to ensure the menu items are well stocked.

Amazing selection but the service towards women was very off putting. Ironically, the bartender was training someone and the trainee was more competent, kind, and welcoming. There was only 5 other people in the building and the bartender seemed uninterested in providing service. As a female who works in the bar space this was extremely disappointing as I was really excited to support Whining Pig. Womp womp

Been here a few times before and never got around to a review until now. Such a fun, quaint place tucked away in a lower level basement style setting and a nice patio area before entering that is all complete with indoor and outdoor games. So many beers on tap to accommodate every kind of taste. Good HH specials and friendly service make this a must visit when at Desert Ridge.

Looooove this spot! All of the Bartenders are awesome, but You have to go when Lexi is there... she's my favorite! The vibe is chill and there's always great conversations and the most adorable dogs ever in the patio area.

Relaxed place. Great spot to take a break from shopping or to wait for a shot in the Pigtails speakeasy in back. Lots of seating and even some outdoor tables. The chalkboard walls inside and out make it fun and different each time. Husband and I enjoyed hanging at the bar and occasionally playing a game (small games and trivia all over the bar). The bartenders were very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions.

LOVE THIS LOCATION. i have never been to this location until my coworkers told me about it (but i've been to the gilbert location). the staff were all so friendly and the ambiance here was so classy and casual. unfortunately i didn't get pictures of the front part of this pub but i captured the super cool back room! highly recommend! i will be back here when i am in the area. thank you!

The drinks were great and customer service was awesome. We played games on the table which is always fun.

No where in the reviews does it say to go downstairs, across from Dave and Buster's. This is helpful information to have. I was expecting a brewery in terms of making beer in house but this is a tap house. The selection is vast and I love that the selections are color coded as to type of beer. It made it easier for us out of towners to order. I was thrilled to see a few Toppling Goliath beers on tap as well (being from Iowa and all). Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, made us feel right at home. The patrons are of the younger variety so we were a bit above average. Don't get me wrong, it is a refreshing bit of youth that was needed.
