    It’s been awhile since my last visit to Phoenix. Flying into PHX Friday for 1 night. In & out. Need some recs for bar/pub between PHX and Paradise Valley Community College. Or a restaurant with decent to good taplist. Closer to the college is better. There for a gig. Early am flight back to LAX next day. So no time to hit up a brewery. Thx.

    :ok_hand: I was just going to add…also looking for cans to go. So this place satisfies all 3. Menu looks amazing. Thx.

    If I can jump in, I’ll be in town Wednesday to Friday for WMPO and wondering if there’s anything that’s a must hit in town. This has been a good start.

    Two great bottle shops just down the street - Craft Beer Quick Stop with a great can/bottle selection and 40 taps of crowlers to choose from. and Craft Beer Hop Shop with a smaller (but maybe more well curated) selection.

    and... Wren House is just a few blocks off the most direct route (and a must-hit, in PHX if you ask me)

    I'm sure locals can chime in with more, but since I spent a bit of time there a few years ago,
    My PHX must hits are:
    Wren House
    AZ Wilderness
    Angels Trumpet Alehouse
    Wandering Tortoise

    Honorable mentions:
    Helton
    The Shop
    Cartel Coffee

    My Friday morning flight to PHX is looking good. A slight shift in plans. I’ll be getting in late morning, so I be there for lunch. I’m gonna hit up Wren after checking into my hotel. I don’t see any food at the brewery so is there food options nearby? Thx.

    I can't think of anything super close by, but there's tons of taquerias in the area...
