    Such a unique place. It's a beer taproom, lounge, and classy (dare I say?) convienence store all at the same location! The lounge is very comfortable and the regulars have always been friendly to me. If you're looking for a good hangout in mid-town Phoenix you're not going to find much better than King's!

    Who knew there would be a top notch beer hall hidden in an unassuming strip mall! Over 75 beers on tap, spanning several regions/countries. Bottle shop is also extensive

    Don’t waste your time or money - this place may have good selection but their people skills and customer service is THE WORST. Look them up on the internet and try to find a phone number - it doesn’t exist. Any business local without a phone number is shady. You can hope they respond via FB but that’s if the front desk clerk (who acts like a two year old throwing a tantrum) doesn’t intercept your message first and blatantly ignore it. I don’t usually write bad reviews- hope your experience is better.

    This place is the by far the best for an assortment of craft beers and great varieties of wine and other drinks. They always have the goods! Won’t disappoint on what is on stock and on tap. Always super friendly and have great suggestions.

    11/02022- I went tonight for snacks and some drinks with friends. It was great food and service as always. The homemade pop tart today was pumpkin churro and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend this place. It has a laid back vibe and good food and drinks, service is always amazing as well. Great selection of all kinds of alcoholic beverages available on tap. Great atmosphere, music is not too loud, don't have to yell over the music to have a conversation. Really enjoyed my time here. They also sell their unique beers to take home and enjoy.

    Full selection of beers is the main attraction. 82 on tap and hundreds of choices in adjacent beer shop. Great servers, midtown location, lots of beer...What's not to like? Wish they'd serve bar food.

    If you're a craft beer fan, you HAVE to check this place out. They have a store and a bar joined. 78 beers on tap in the bar!! The store has hundreds of breweries represented with an amazing line up of beers. Super knowledgeable staff can give the low down on any can you point at.

    This place is dying. Since they changed ownership, the selection and deals have gone by the wayside. Used to stop in here all the time because you could get a flat of some decent craft beer for $10 or less. Now, they have very little to pick from, no bulk specials and the place seemed dead as can be on a Friday night. Not how I remember it a few years ago. Oh, and the new shirt art is TERRIBLE! Glad I got the rad OG shirt when I did ...

    When you take somebody there for the first time, they are blown away. They're like "I can't believe I didn't know". They have a great selection that changes every day. But then you can go next and try what ever you want. Great business model.

  • 4/5 Dillon C. 5 years ago on Google
    This place has the best selection possibly in the state. The owner is the bug eyes guy who's extremely proud of being from New York and has the disposition to prove it. It's not a bad vibe, but it's certainly a no nonsense atmosphere. The bar on the other side of their shop is dark and comfy and you can get glasses of anything that they have on their growler fill station. They recently added in a reusable crowler filler which is badass. If you're looking for a great occasional deal or something hard to find, they're by far your best option.

    Great Beer selection. No food offered but you can order in from near by restaurants. Great bar to have a drink and buying beer to go.

    Great place to go for craft beer and wine. Bring your dog inside! Tons of togo options

  • 5/5 Amy C. 4 years ago on Google
    Best spot around!! The people are amazing, the atmosphere is fun and there's always great beer, mead and cider on tap! If you haven't visited, you're missing out!!

  • 5/5 Eneida L. 1 year ago on Google
    THIS PLACE IS SO COOL! They have board & card games. Delicious drinks to try! The tray for sipping on different flavors of drinks is such a plus! Customer service is on point!!! Would definitely recommend coming to enjoy any night out! Has a cool convenient store attached-to purchase liquor to go(:

  • 5/5 Thomas G. 4 years ago on Google
    Best craft beer bar in town. They don't sell food, but you can bring in whatever you want from outside. As a regular, the staff really get to know you and make you feel welcome. This is where I go to unwind after work or catch up with buddies.

  • 5/5 Edward N. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff was awesome and knowledgeable!

  • 4/5 Zeke O. 4 years ago on Google
    Not too loud, great drink selection, great prices. Perfect place to try a little of everything.

  • 5/5 Randy P. 4 years ago on Google
    First time I've ever had craft beer and my daughter knew the folks that worked there . They walked me through this experience and after telling them flavors I didnt want we would try little samplers from there i was on my way . I truly enjoyed this place so now I have to find a place close to this in georgia it definitely will be hard THANKS GUYS ENJOYED

  • 5/5 Luis C. 4 years ago on Google
    Best beer selection in Phoenix.

  • 5/5 Jody W. 2 years ago on Google
    We are visiting from Canada and went to Kings last night with 4 kids and 4 adults. We brought in take out and enjoyed the on tap beers and wine. There is pop and ice tea for the kids. What a fun welcoming atmosphere! The kids enjoyed playing with Mr.Pickles resident dog. We lucked in on trivia night and there were board games to keep the kids entertained. We highly recommend Kings for a family hangout experience while you try different beers!

  • 5/5 lurchman76 2 years ago on Google
    Kings is by far the best beer store you'll find in Phoenix. The care and thoughtfulness the ownership puts into sourcing their stock is evident as you browse their shelves. I've seen beers here that I've only seen in their country of origin. I've seen beer enthusiasts shout with joy as they discover a long sought after hunt. I frequent Kings and every time I love it. This is your go-to beer spot! Just gotta stop by and give it a chance y'all.

  • 5/5 Rene A. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect Pub if you are a beer drinker this is your heaven. Countless selection, just amazing. The best part is all the people who work there make you feel like family and you belong. It would be very easy to become a repeat offender. :-)

  • 5/5 Louis G. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing if you like different types of Beers! My 1st time and the Bartender Sterling made some Awesome suggestions and recommendations for our group! Everyone enjoyed them! Definitely going back and taking all of my friends and family that come to visit Phoenix!

  • 5/5 Jessica P. 1 year ago on Google
    We love going to Kings! We always know we will be met with friendly staff, a great variety of beer and wine, and recommendations for trying something new if we want. We are lucky to have this spot in our neighborhood!

  • 5/5 Matt P. 1 year ago on Google
    King's is the best beer and wine spot I know. They have a great selection and better prices. Their staff are cool and I go in for bottles or to sit at the bar.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth M. 10 months ago on Google
    A must go to if you're a beer fan . The atmosphere is amazing. 81 beers on tap all were so delicious. Staff is so friendly and helpful. One of my husband's new favorite spots .

  • 5/5 Reverend K. 9 months ago on Google
    Massive selection of craft beers, wines, meads and even soda... locally made and exclusive beers from other states fill the place. Half of the building is a store for all the drinks available and the other half is a bar to relax and have a sip. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about styles and really informative, been coming here a long time and love the place!

  • 5/5 Jim L. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the best places around. From a variety perspective, there is a large selection in cans, bottles and taps. From a customer service perspective, the staff are always friendly and helpful with recommendations. From a convenient perspective, this is right on the light rail. So if you are in to get a flight to taste or hang with friends over your favorite beers or just to pick up beers to take home or bring to a party, you have all your options in one location. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Kenny C. 11 months ago on Google
    This is one of the best craft beer experiences I’ve ever had! As someone visiting for business, and who likes craft beer, I highly recommend. I was instantly welcomed, the bartender let me know if the 60+ draft beer taps weren’t enough (they had amazing stuff on there), I could go find a bottle or can next door, bring it to her to open and enjoy it there for no additional cost! Wow! The drafts were amazing though, and the bartender gave great suggestions and talked about my beer interests. The suggestions were so good my co-workers who didn’t really like beer even enjoyed the beer she recommended to them! I asked about good local beers in cans to take back to the hotel, and I received amazing recommendations. This place earned every star I gave it. Next time in Phoenix I will make sure I come back here.

  • 5/5 James B. 8 months ago on Google
    Always a great rotating seasonal selection of beer. 80+ beers on tap. Very friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Ceasar A. 8 months ago on Google
    You have to check this place out. 81 beers on tap and hundreds of others to choose from in the store. Mark and Emily were absolutely amazing and friendly. Will definitely be back. This may be my new favorite taproom

  • 5/5 Kelley J. 8 months ago on Google
    My work-neighborhood go-to for the bar AND the package shop. All varieties of beer from basic to bougie, staff is knowledgeable and fun, atmosphere (at least during after work hours) is low key. Also the owners wife makes "beerrings" earrings from the fun beer can art! Beer all the things.

  • 5/5 Napa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent beer destination. They had like 70 beers on tap and the store was fully stocked with beer to go. Right off the metro line too, so I didn't have to drive. The guy behind the bar was nice and knew his stuff too. He made several great recommendations. I'd definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Julie D. 6 months ago on Google
    I love this place! Kings has a such a comfortable vibe to it, where you feel like family. Their beer selection is huge, but their bar tenders are knowledgeable if you need help finding something that you’ll love. Although they don’t serve food on the bar side, there are snacks available to purchase on the store side OR you can order food from any of the nearby eateries and eat bar side. Kings even holds Sip and Paints where the owner (an artist herself) joins in and teaches how to do the project. I just attended the ghost glass painting and it was a blast! The price is right and it’s more like a family/friend gathering than a formal class as you pass the shared supplies and get to know your fellow crafters. I’ll definitely be going back!

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 5 months ago on Google
    Super chill, Craft beer bar. There is a wide variety of drafts and the beer store next door is super diverse as well! The king's chair is well suited for a photo shoot as well.

  • 5/5 Alexander H. 4 months ago on Google
    This is my favorite spot for craft beer straight from the tap. They also have a little convenience store on the other side of the bar that has other beers and wines that are not available on tap. Excellent customer service and atmosphere. Highly recommended to all beer and wine drinkers.

  • 5/5 RJ W. 4 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff always willing to help with questions. Tasting room has a great vibe.

  • 5/5 Liz L. 4 years ago on Google
    I. Love. This. Place. AMAZING selection of beer. Great staff. Definitely will be back!

  • 5/5 Jen B. 5 years ago on Google
    Kings is perfect for an after work happy hour. Great music (good mix of old and new-ish), fun vibe, knowledgeable bartenders. You can bring food in, no kitchen. My tab for 3 delicious beers was $13. They have games (video games, card games, Jenga), comfy couches, such a good, chill time.

  • 5/5 Alex S. 4 years ago on Google
    I go to King's every few months so I don't consider myself a regular but I've always enjoyed their massive variety and crowler station. Staff has always been friendly/welcoming, BUT my last experience there takes the cake FOR SURE! I walked in to pick up an order that I placed and paid for online. When I mentioned my name to the owner at the counter he said "I've been waiting for you to come in!" He informed me that I was accidentally charged too much for an order I picked up LAST SUMMER and he remembered my name and that I had a chandler address. He offered to rectify this by reversing my $13 transaction from that day and give me the difference of what I was over charged in store credit. He then helped me select some beers based on my preference. I couldn't believe he remembered that incident from almost 10 months prior AND sought me out to rectify the issue instead of me having to come in and mention it! I greatly appreciated the honesty and speaks for what type of business they run. They definitely can count on my business in the future!

  • 5/5 Tulip S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great selection of hard to find IPA’s and craft beers. Hidden speak-easy style bar serving up a large selection of rotating drafts on tap. Hard to believe I have driven past this place for years and never knew what was behind the unassuming glass doors in a strip plaza.

  • 5/5 Morgan R. 4 years ago on Google
    Giant selection of local area beers on the store side and always 80 beers on tap on the bar side. The taps rotate quite frequently and it's always fun to go and get a flight. The bar side has table top games and couch areas with Super Nintendo consoles. Strongly advise looking at their beer list on Untappd before you get there so you can know which numbers you want beforehand. It can be overwhelming trying to look at the beers on the screens.

  • 5/5 Robert G. 4 years ago on Google
    Best spot around downtown PHX to grab beers to go. They have a great taproom now also. Best prices and selection around.

  • 4/5 Bell C. 3 years ago on Google
    great wine..I like this restaurant.Thank you!

  • 5/5 Neff T. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is a hidden gem! I mean, from the outside, it doesn't look like much more than just a simple convenience store, but when you open that door, you're in awe of the beer and wine bar sitting before you. They have a convenience store attached, but it's definitely worth sitting in the bar area, and enjoying a few cold beers from their extensive, yet unique, selection. I highly recommend the Mas Agave from Founders. The best part is, you'll be able to order a few beers, and be left with a pretty low bar tab! I do believe though, they serve predominantly AZ-brewed beers, which isn't a problem. They don't have a kitchen, but I heard they're fine with you bringing in food, and enjoying it with your drink.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 3 years ago on Google
    Stopped in on a whim and I was not disappointed! Really cool selection of beers... And everyone working there seemed friendly. I look forward to visiting again!

  • 5/5 Bec W. 3 years ago on Google
    Just an awesome beer selection. Love to order taster trays in the bar area, get crowlers, and make my own six packs. I like sours, IPAa, and stouts, and they constantly change up their offerings. They have a great variety of lighter beers too: lagers, pilsners, etc.

  • 5/5 Joseph S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to get some amazing beers. Guys are super friendly and helpful as well.

  • 5/5 Dana B. 3 years ago on Google
    The ultimate craft beer store. Don't be afraid to ask the guys a question, they are super knowledgeable and friendly. I split my time between San Diego and Phoenix, Kings blows away SD hands down.

  • 5/5 Noah B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great variety of wine!

  • 5/5 Joe B. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Victoria P. 4 years ago on Google
    My happy place. Great beers and awesome staff. Love it here!

  • 5/5 Tim W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great sampling, a huge collection of wine, great ambiance. This wine shop is a must-visit wine shop in town. The bottles of wine that I bought from here were really delicious. This wine shop is my go-to wine shop from now on. Also, you could grab a glass of wine here if you want to chill and relax. I can't wait to visit this shop again.

  • 5/5 will c. 4 years ago on Google
    Pick your own 6 packs

  • 5/5 Kristy G. 4 years ago on Google
    I've always loved Kings Beer & Wine. Their selection is admirable and product knowledge is high among their staff. That's what separates Kings Beer & Wine from the many retailers in the area.

  • 1/5 D M. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff are condescending, rude, and belittling. Don't ask for wine, I got a speech about how all they care about is beer, how they don't know anything about wine, and i felt like they wanted me out of the store, probably because i was the only non-white person in there. idk.

  • 5/5 Margaret W. 4 years ago on Google
    the staff! What a friendly, helpful and lovely staff! You simply MUST NOT miss this place. Unfortunately there are only 5 points possible to rate :(

  • 5/5 Christine W. 4 years ago on Google
    The proprietors here know their stuff and for the first time I actually enjoyed a glass of Georgian wine that I had assumed, up till then, was just not to my tastes.

  • 5/5 Justin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing beer options, the best Hazy’s and IPAs. Best beer specials in Phoenix. Great staff very knowledgeable and willing to offer their opinion on tastes.

    Amazing selection of beer and friendly knowledgeable staff. I even found some unicorns I thought I missed out on?. I won't be shopping anywhere else for beer from now on and I can't wait to check out the tap room!

  • 5/5 Joseph E. 4 years ago on Google
    Had over 75+ beers on tap. Only place I've ever seen DT on tap. Legit.

  • 5/5 Kyle T. 4 years ago on Google
    Can't get over this place. Ruined buying beer anywhere else

  • 5/5 Miguel .. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like craft beers then this is a great spot. Huge selection available on tap and liquor store right next door so you can buy some of the beers you like. The lounge area is also really and has classic video games for you to play

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is sweet. Bar on one side, amazing beer shop on the other. Friendly and open late on a Sunday, thank you!
