    There's nothing here I didn't like. Let's start with beer since it's a brewery. They have cask-conditioned beers, which is rare. They also run the gammut from hazy IPA to stout to various Belgian styles (the quad was my favorite). Then there's the food. Excellent pulled pork sandwich, great green chili baked potato and my commando sandwich was excellent. Everything was also reasonably priced. Then there's the atmosphere. On the Saturday night we were there, it was quiet and laid back. You order at the bar, both food and drink. The bartender knows his stuff and is very friendly. They also have good seating and board games. If we lived closer, this would be a frequent hangout. (I guess we should've taken a photo before devouring everything.)

    Great place! First thing dog friendly, meet a beautiful dog from another patron. The beer selection was awesome- something for anyone's taste. We tried 2 flights my favorite was the Salty Senora (I love Salty & Citrus), husband favorite was Heart of Darkness (Black IPA). Took a bottle home to try BBA Belgian Cherry Dubbel. Atmosphere was chill, service was great. Thank you Brewmeister Matt & Owner John - these guys fun to talk to, friendly and very hospitable. Food was tasty, loved the green chili pork taco and the Carolina sauce on the pulled pork sandwich. Husband had the pulled pork baked tater with Carolina sauce and enjoyed it very much. Definitely will be back. Check this place out when possible.

    Had the pleasure of experiencing this little gem this past weekend. Everything about this place is perfect. You'll have no problems finding free parking, the decor is pleasant, service is great, and their food is AMAZING. Never had a smoked potato before, but I'll be back for more. What I enjoyed most was how they served their beer. Sizing came in 4oz, 10oz, & 16oz glasses (there's one more size, but I can't remember. Flights are only $7! Go out and support local! This place will not disappoint.

    Amazing food, family friendly specialty craft beer bar. I stopped in while cruising the car club that happens on Saturday nights to grab a couple munchies. The staff were all friendly and happy to be there. The service was prompt and adequate. I requested a smoked potato and some beer cheese soup. I'm a bit picky, so I didn't want the option of the potato with soup around it in their fancy style. The chef, Sam, came out and discussed my order at my request and made it fast and right. The owner was circulating with guests and spent some time talking to me as well. They both have a combined gift that makes this place great. The smoked potato was far better than I would expect. I usually waste alot and never eat the skin, but I was scraping every last piece off those skins, it was such a great unique flavor. The soup was served nearly and topped with what Sam said were in house made croutons. The beer flavor was mellow and present. The consistency was ideal and the cheesey flavor shines through. The crowd is mixed with those who appear to be well known and then those who just stopped in like myself. All seem to be treated equally. The atmosphere is cool calm and collective. There's a variety of table heights and barside seating and a seating area with a prime view of the cars outside. The doors are garage style and open, but the breeze is nice and cool. Parents with their kids are enjoying meals. There was a local artist who had some pictures on the wall I was able to meet and talk to briefly. This was by far more relaxing than most any bar or restaurant with a bar that I have visited. I'm full, but will come.back again for their smoked pulled pork and stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon next time. Thanks Grand Avenue Brewing Company for the relaxing place and delicious food.

    This place took a very long time to open, they had a lot of unexpected obstacles getting to where they needed to be. I followed them on Facebook to keep up with the latest developments. The weekend they had their soft opening I was out of town, but I made an effort to get over there a few days later and took my boyfriend and his brother. The three of us were impressed and liked all the beers that we tried. The food smelled good too. I believe they are putting off their “grand opening event” until the fall, when it gets cooler. We will be back!

    I liked it. Service has friendly and fast. Beers weren’t anything to write home about, but decent. I didn’t like the idea of the set flights of their choosing. I’m willing to pay any price but would rather choose the styles I want to try. Location was fine and plenty of parking.

    Had the Dic-Tater, and it was delicious! Large portions, great selection on the provisions menu with creative selections. While I can't speak for the beer itself, I was impressed with the menu. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. A must visit if you're in the area!

    Everyone is extremely friendly and will go into detail on their beers, or give recommendations if you ask. The food is great. Try a smoked baked potato when you stop by as they are delicious. They'll let you sample beers if you want or purchase a flight to try 4 different 4 ounce pours. My favorite beer here is the Hay Ride IPA but I've sampled most of the beers and they are quality. Bring your growler so you can take some home with you. I noticed they didn't have any new pics so here are some newer ones of the menu.

    Enjoyed their beers today, great and delicious brews with a grand variety and unique flavors. Did not try the food this go around, a little too hot outside to want to stick around. AZ fault, not the brew.

    Ever smoke a potato? Me either, but here they do it for you and boy are they delicious! And there are so many topping options to enhance the spud even more. I wanted to try their house smoked pork belly so I ordered the Papa Pig potato with all the fixin's and I've never had such a melt in your mouth pork belly! My friend indulged in the Buster Burger: 1/3 lb burger on a brioche bun, cheese, balsamic caramelized onions and chili pepper aoli with a side of smoked potato salad with sour cream, bacon, and dill. ​John was tending bar and he really knows his beers and helped me choose my flight​--usually I'm disappointed by some, but every one, especially the darks, were delicious. I especially enjoyed their Black Jack Black Cream Ale has added black malt to Happy Jack and nitro, so it was like a Guinness but surprisingly had more of a richness of flavor. ​Oh, I must not forget the building! It's from​ 1947 and has had many incarnations, but I'm glad it no longer sells sheet metal or used tires, but beer and smoked potatoes, and that there is also about 3,000 sq. ft. patio space to enjoy as well.

    So far so good. Been here a couple times. Enjoying the beer. They had cask ale on last visit 👍 Food choices from the smoker. Try the smoked baked potato!

  • 5/5 Tarun d. 1 year ago on Google
    Never seen so many Belgian style beers in one place. Their Tartonic berliner weisse is the most sour beer I have ever tasted in my life. Definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Nicole K. 2 years ago on Google
    Bartender Nicole was awesome! Gotta try the number 20 in a Michelada!!! Vibe is so chill perfect atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Matthew C. 7 months ago on Google
    Grand Avenue is a brewery from another time. Amazing food, amazing beer, and an atmosphere that invites a neighborhood pub in an exceedingly loud brewery culture. If you're looking for a place to sit down for some peace and enjoyment, try Grand Ave Brewing.

  • 3/5 Benjamin M. 7 months ago on Google
    I like the environment and the beer was fine. However, the buster burger was the worst burger I can remember having. They drench it in some chipotle sauce so the buns come out to you soggy. Truly horrifying. Complete with a side of low effort potato salad. Disappointing given the ratings.

  • 5/5 Carlie K. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing!!! Everything from the beer, to the food, the atmosphere, and the people!! We originally planned on staying for a drink or two, but ended up staying until they closed!! John also gave us great suggestions for other delicious hidden food spots in the area that we tried and also would rate 5 stars, so really this place should get way more than 5 stars!!!!!! We will be telling people about this place!!!

  • 5/5 Jesse D. 4 months ago on Google
    Seems like a secret hideout, every time I come its quiet. I hope they’re doing well though because everything is amazing. I’ve only ever had the pretzels and they are always so good. The beer is top notch. It seems all the other menu items are made with passion, maybe one day I’ll try something else. My one complaint is the hours. They are closed Monday-Wednesday and they close pretty early.

  • 5/5 Alan M. 4 years ago on Google
    Super nice people. Loved the beers. It’s fun to try local craft beers. The added bonus it that they are really good! ?

  • 5/5 Josh W. 5 months ago on Google
    4.9 stars and over 100 reviews? It lived up to expectations. My sour beer was crazy sour but really good. They gave me a raspberry syrup to cut the sourness and it gave the beer a whole new complexion. Very cool. Our tacos were delicious, potato and burritos were great. Only slight miss was the deconstructed jalapeno popper pizza which was a little heavy on the cream cheese. The guys working there were super nice and helpful.

  • 5/5 Alex r. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was excellent, beer was good with in house and guest taps. They smoke their own meets and they are delicious!!! The pork sandwich is my favorite and the smoke sausage was my husband's favorite. Its a wonderful small and down to earth brewery with big heart.

    Best local neighborhood, boot strap built, brewers guild loving brewery around. Happy to have this on Grand!

  • 5/5 Oh A. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent beer, and reasonable prices. Avoiding the temptation to have nothing but a selection of overhopped IPAs, this place has a wide selection of styles available, from a wonderfully malty stout and a truly excellent bourbon barrel aged barleywine, through a good example of a Belgian golden ale (which I personally didn't particularly care for - it had a bit too much of a brettanomyces character for me, even though the server said it didn't use that - the high quality of the beer shown through anyway, and if you like that flavor profile, you'll likely enjoy this) on to a couple of IPAs for those who like them. And then the food. Oh, man. I got the green chile pork stuffed smoked potato, and a bratwurst with kraut in a pretzel bun. It was delicious, and everything else on the menu looked amazing as well. I'll definitely be returning to this place in the future. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Oscar R. 4 years ago on Google
    Having a great time here glad a buddy told me about this place. The beers they have are just wow brewed heroes what makes it better, that's not all the food simple yet not what you expect. I dont go out often and drink beer I never think the price is worth it but this place I will be coming back and bring my friends with me next time I come.

  • 5/5 Naren D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice offering of beers. I liked their collection as it was not hop heavy only beers. They have a good selection of beers that dont have high IBUs. Loved the golden devil beer. Their smoked backed potato was great too. I liked the art collection as well. Games are offered too for passing some time in analytics. Great place overall.

  • 5/5 Saif A. 4 years ago on Google
    I kept seeing this place out of the corner of my driving down Grand. It's obscure so many might pass it by like the Pharcyde. I knew I needed to visit and I was not disappointed. Met a nice parrot while I was there too. I'd like to return with a cab and try a few more beers but until then, Cheers!
