    Finally decided to stop by Rott n’ Grapes for the first time after hearing great reviews of the place and it is such a wonderful little spot. They do bar trivia every Tuesday and if you participate you get 15% off your tab, in addition to other recurring events like a Beer Club and wine tastings. The community here is very tight knit and so so kind. One of the owners, Keith, spent a lot of time socializing with our group and talking about all the things they’re planning. You can tell everyone who works here is passionate about what they do and they sure are amazing at it. If you’re looking for an amazing beer/wine selection and a great group of people to share it with, look no further. I’d give 10/5 stars if I could! Thanks, Keith!

    Been going to Rott n' Grapes for almost a year now and is still by far our favorite place. The wine and beer is great, the staff is awesome, and there is always a good vibe! We joined the wine club and love the perks and wine tasting events.

    Bartender appeared to be the manager as well and was really knowledgeable about what they offered. Although he looked like he was doing inventory he was not too busy to have a conversation with us which was refreshing. We loved the F-bomb red blend and the hummus was delicious. The manager was also very helpful in letting us know what other areas were near us to continue our evening. We were told Tuesday they do trivia. We will definitely be back.

    Rott n' Grapes is one of my favorite wine bars/bistros in all of the land. The owners (Patty & Keith) and their staff are superb, have great recommendations for beer and wine, really get to know you, and treat you like family. I really like their food - salad, pizza, sandwich, all of it. It's become the place "where everybody knows your name." My husband and I have made new friends there just by mingling with the regulars. Do you love dogs? Good, because there's lots of cute ones there to pet. We had our post-wedding party/hangout there - they have a GREAT lounge, and the patio is lovely, too. We actually planned our whole wedding at Rott n' Grapes, we do our taxes there, we play cards there, we bring our friends and family there (everything is better with wine/beer!) - it's our home away from home. You absolutely must go to Rott n' Grapes!

    This was our first time here. Absolutely loved the ambiance, loved the way that they treated the dogs like they were patrons, serving them water and treats and the service was on point. We ended up staying here for hours. The staff was very personable, very attentive and always there when you needed a refill. Food is perfect and the beer and wine menu is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I had a few coconut beers that were just brewed perfectly and was the smoothest beer I’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things about this place. This will be our new hangout when we’re in town. Next time, I know I can bring my doggie and he can have his own plate and water! Absolutely vibey, the people who frequent this place are super friendly. This is a place where you can enjoy a drink or two, and not have to worry about a disruption. We absolutely loved everything about this place! We will be back time and time again!!

    Stumbled upon Rott'n'Grapes by chance, and was pleasantly surprised at the excellent selection of craft beers in addition to their extensive wine offering. The service was excellent and I would recommend it as a stop for anyone visiting Phoenix.

    The best happy hour in Phoenix, from 2 to 8 Monday through Sunday. The biggest menu of beer, wine and anything else. They also let you bring in your food and order from the sushi spot next door. We really love the new spot. It's a great alternative wine and beer bar with great TVs for the sporting events and games to pass the time with friends.

  • 5/5 Yasmin B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place but I love the owners more. They are just salt of the earth sort of folks! I had a great wine which Patty, one of the owners is awesome at picking if you tell her what you like… they have a huge selection. It went well with my pepperoni pizza with arugula which I shared with another patron… too much to eat alone:). The crowd there is friendly and feels like Cheers even if it’s not your neighborhood. Always enjoy myself when I get a chance to drop in. Great place to hang out or just have a glass of wine or beer and get on with your evening. Definitely a stop you must make if you live in the valley and enjoy good drink, atmosphere and company!

    Great service, attentive, knowledgeable and super friendly. Not to mention, long list of local beers and domestic wines. Neighborhood bar feel with authentic wine/beer enthusiasts behind the bar. Service can help you find a drink for any mood! We love this place!!

Great for date night or a long day!

    I attended a speed dating event here which was really fun. The bar however left something to be desired. They didn’t have a single nonalcoholic option so I got a Sprite. The bartender literally handed me the can and charged me $3.50. I asked if she could put it in a glass for me with a lime and she said they don’t have limes and gave me a water cup.

    Great patio area. Good place to enjoy craft beer and appetizers!

  • 5/5 kayla T. 2 years ago on Google
    The bartenders are absolutely wonderful. They give spectacular recommendations and provide good conversations. Each wine I've had here has been on point and their daily deals are amazing. I've had their chicken mozzarella pesto panini which was very delicious. I've also had their pizza and wine deal and their white pizza is sooooo delicious. I highly recommend this place and will probably become a regular. Love it!

  • 5/5 Christina C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great welcoming neighborhood spot. They have an extensive wine list and just as many beers. Great place to day drink. Best part, dogs are super welcomed.

    Another unique gem in Phoenix. Awesome wines and beers; limited menu but great food!

  • 5/5 Kandis P. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this little hidden gem.. It is my go to local spot in Central Phoenix!! The pizza and salad.. well all of the food is amazing!! Wine selection is vast and varied which is perfect depending on what mood youre in! Did you know they have a monthly wine club that you can attend and gain wine knowledge and also buy the wines you try at a nice little discount?

  • 3/5 Diedre J. 3 years ago on Google
    Really great pizza amd wine, just overpriced!!!

  • 5/5 Swan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little wine bar with an excellent beer selection. My partner is a big fan of IPAs and their list of IPA options is lengthy! I also picked them out because they have a cheese board option without meat and as a vegetarian I have a hard time finding a good cheeseboard for two that doesn't have meat on it. We also tried the vegetarian bruschetta options and we're not disappointed with the fresh ingredients and the quality bread. These are larger than we expected, so take care. We ordered 4 pieces and would have been happy with two. Our bartender was friendly and fun. The atmosphere was filled with happy customers and we enjoyed our visit. Would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Matt G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing wine list and my advice would be to try the food here too

  • 5/5 Lina E. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner and his staff hosted us as a private party for my son’s baptism reception. They kept a full bar open and had tons of wonderful food ready for us. The staff, food quality and alcohol variety was top notch! They cut our cake for us, let us take leftovers and we’re so polite! I planned this from the East coast before ever stepping foot in the establishment and I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend! Thank you!!

  • 3/5 Matt W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bruschetta, large selection of good wines. My main gripe is the staff knew very little about the wines. For a place that markets itself as a wine bar, and charges top dollar for wine, I want a bartender that can recommend and advise about the wines they have in stock. This sadly was not the case here.

  • 5/5 J P. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Great spot for wine and beer. Patty and Keith are the best. If your not sure about wine come here and they will help you out.

  • 5/5 Susan P. 11 months ago on Google
    Very cool find! My gal pals & I stopped here for a beer and a bite. (It was 103° so a beer seemed the perfect choice despite the AMAZING wine selection. Keith greeted us immediately & gave us the rundown on his beers & bites. Beer was excellent & thin crust pizza hit the spot. It's tucked in a side "alley" so don't miss it. Bringing my husband next time...

  • 5/5 Mary L. 10 months ago on Google
    Very chill place to share some appetizers with friends. Excellent service! We sat outside in the shade under the misters. The wine was delicious! Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Adam D. 7 months ago on Google
    An amazing gem in the central phoenix area. This is a small wine bar with an amazing selection and very reasonable prices. The warm friendly owners and server made the experience all that more enjoyable. This will be an establishment I will regularly patronize.

  • 5/5 Matt A. 3 months ago on Google New
    Larry and Trish have created a cozy community atmosphere that is top notch and can't be beat! The rest of the staff including Brandon, Tana, Tori, Mel and Nico are also very friendly and always accommodating to the patrons. The Greedy Hamster has awesome snacks, pizza, paninis and weekly specials and events that keep the Uptown area very lively. Best banter and bistro experience in the area with no question.

  • 5/5 Blue B. 4 years ago on Google
    I always have a great visit when I come here. I typically bring a friend and we get a bottle of wine, enjoy the bartender and other guests. Don't come here if you want to not be a part of the bar community, because everyone else is here to be friendly and connect.

  • 5/5 Russell B. 4 years ago on Google
    Even with Social Distancing, it's easy to walk go to, and get a bottle of wine! I was waited on by the owner today. I told him my taste in wine, and he gave me a great bottle, at a great price, already chilled! What more could one ask for!?? Neat place with a cool vibe.

  • 5/5 Abigail S. 3 years ago on Google

    Nice small space with small patio. Great beer list some food options. Dog friendly ( even inside) which is good but tripping over tied up dogs/leashes as you try to walk in. Usually dogs allowed on patio only unless certified service animal.

  • 5/5 Kari L. 4 years ago on Google
    They do a lot for a hole-in-the-wall type of place (that’s commenting on size solely). Super cute place in the uptown area that does trivia occasionally!

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 3 years ago on Google
    This is officially my favorite place in Phoenix! The selection of wine and beer is amazing, if you can't find something you like then it doesn't exist. The owners are incredibly nice people and so helpful when it comes to what to choose. Their happy hour runs until 8pm, which is perfect for someone like me who works until about 6pm. They serve really great food including pizza, bruschetta, paninis, and an awesome charcuterie board. They are super dog friendly, and often times you'll see the owner's super two super friendly Rottweiler's hanging out. They also have an amazing wine club where you get discounts at their restaurant and a monthly wine tasting. I can't say enough good things about this place and highly recommend you check it out.
