Four Peaks

Ah, the Brewpub. A fad in the late nignties, there are still a few of them kicking around, the foremost of which in the Valley is Four Peaks. With a location in north Scottsdale a staple of the office happy hour crowd and one in Tempe serving a mixture of working whitecollar folks and college students, these fine establishments serve a mixture of acceptable micro brews of their own mixing and a nice, if overly high end menu of typical Bar food.

An acceptable burger is a mainstay but with this menu its best to branch out. A cheesesteak that is a bit of the frufy side wont bring back immages of Rocky running the streets of Philly but it will delight the tastebuds and fill the belly. Nachos are tasty, Chicken fingers are exceptional.

The wait staff is friendly, fit, and fun, if possibly a bit on the younger side. The hostess one day didnt know that the Cardinals came to us via St Louis. Where were these girls fathers?

The beers are fine microbrews if that is your thing. I suggest the Raj. If you are looking for something more predicatble, the 8th street is nice. If you are a Guiness Drinker they are going to push you towards the Oatmeal Stout and you are going to be disappointed. But you should be because Guiness is motoroil to begin with.

Myself, I would opt for a more traditional bar with a better selection of Domestic Drafts and better Happy Hour pricing but to each his own.

If you fancy yourself a beer snob, Four Peaks is the place for you.
