Came here with a group after our kickball game down the road. The food was good, there is not an argument there. The Kilt lifter has become my favorite beer since moving to AZ. We were seated outside, and the staff was pretty attentive to us. While we were there, a fuse blew and the misters/outside lights went off for the better part of 15 minutes. They handled it well and let us know the status. Overall, I enjoyed the experience but there was nothing "wow" about it, considering the great things I've heard about this brewery from the locals...
Review Source:This rating is for the beer only! Thumbs up on the Hefeweizen, Kilt Lifter, and barley wine! These drinks went down smooth and had great flavor. The Scottsdale location is nice; 2 stories inside, several big screens for those of you that like to watch sports. If you like the beer, you can take home a refillable growler. We spoke with one of the managers when he walked up to our table and encouraged them to start bottling some of their other beers (mainly the Hef).
Definitely one of the better microbrews in the Phoenix area.
Had dinner here during the game, the service was awesome. The restaurant was on a wait and we went to the bar for a drink before and we were attended to quickly. We had a gal by the name of Judy as our server her beer knowledge was great she helped my husband find his new favorite beer Raj. She walked us through the menu and offered suggestions. We ended up getting a special. Our drinks were always full and a beer was offered at just the right time. I will be bringing my friends here and suggest this to many.
Review Source:Went here on a Thursday night around 9 PM. Â One of the few places around here that's open past 9/9:30 PM. Â Not too busy and service was prompt. Â Salad with grilled Salmon was huge. Â Enough salad for 4 people, Salmon was moist and good portion, though I would expect as much for $16. Â Burger's flavor was good, frys were thick cut which is what I prefer. Â Bun was decent and held burger. Â Only issue was burger was over done, ordered medium rare, came out well done so very dry. Â Manager took off few bucks without us even asking, I wasn't going too since I had already finished half of it.
Over all great experience, good bar food, lots of TVs if you want to watch a game, service and management no issues. Â This will probably be our go to place if we want to eat out "late" in this area.
I cannot rave enough about Four Peaks, just not this location. The beer is great, the food is great, but the service is not as good as at the original spot in Tempe.
That being said, the Scottsdale location is also much easier to get in to on a given night. Contrast with the Tempe location, where I've waited 1.5 hours for a table on a Tuesday night. True, it is worth the wait, but after that long swilling Oatmeal Stout one can barely even taste their food. And that is saying something, as the food here inspires ebullience.
5 stars for the food and drink, 4 stars for the service, and I round down (because I'm a bastard).
Not to be confused with the nearby Twin Peaks, although they both serve beer. Â As others have said, the food is good. Â The Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale is very good. Â I wish they'd get some in Seattle, but since Pike's Brewery already has a Kilt Lifter named beer, it may be problematic. Â The Hopknot IPA is very nice, but the RAJ IPA is a little different (not my current flavor preference).
Review Source:Kind of unimpressed with the beer. I did the flight of 8 beers, which is a great price at $9. But I didn't get great service since I wasn't going to base my tip on the bra size of the bartenders. The men around me got plenty of attention but I was left to flag one of the girls down to get my tab. Ick.
Review Source:Great place to hang out and I've always thought their food was really good. Much better than normal bar food. Â But I just ordered a salad that was a "special", not on the regular menu. It was a Thai Salmon Salad. I love Thai and my mouth was watering for the spice peanut dressing! Â Well, bless their hearts for trying -- It was basically a plan dinner salad topped with a few strips of deep-fried salmon, Kraft Italian dressing, and a hand-full of peanuts. I guess the peanut made it Thai... Â I still enjoyed the salad and the Salmon was delicious, but it didn't do much to satiate my Thai craving.
Review Source:I worked with the manager here to set up an event for part of our office and Marie was great to work with and offered just what I was looking for. We had a group of about 40 people on the second level and pre-ordered a bunch of appetizers and had drink tickets for our group. From what I could tell, everything ran smoothly and while I usually go to the Tempe location since it's closer to home, I'll probably make a point to stop in for dinner on my way home.
Review Source:04/30/13
Love the burgers and sandwiches (sometimes the kitchen forgets to add one or two key ingredients, say the anaheim chili I ask for instead of jalapeno pepper, or the onion strings) and the dinner specials I've tried at the restaurant hardly disappoint (!), but I really must stop ordering the pasta dinner specials to go.  I've enjoyed the fettucine alfredo that arrived with garlic bread (terrific bread!), but other pasta varieties have left me shaking my head and wanting for more.  Take into consideration the latest special I ordered, the Green Chile penne with grilled chicken.  <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/four-peaks-brewery-scottsdale-2?select=6gAA2123ljhlmZl2SqKgOA#6gAA2123ljhlmZl2SqKgOA">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>  Photo was taken before I had a bite.  At $15 plus tax, I felt gypped.  What do you think?  The flavors weren't bad, though.  Rich and cheesy, and the green chiles added a lot of heat (!)-- more so than other cheesy green chile pasta dishes I've had elsewhere.  The grilled chicken was pretty good, too-- I don't eat a lot of chicken anymore, so when I do order it, I appreciate when it's done right. Â
I will keep an eye out for this special to appear on the dinner specials' rotation again, but I will order it for dining-in. Â As I've said, I've rarely been disappointed with the dinner specials when dining on, so maybe that's the secret? Â We shall see.
I always have a good time here if I have the money. You can't get anything for under 10, except for maybe chips and salsa. There's not a lot of vegetarian options that aren't just appetisers, and their "happy hour" is a joke. A dollar off of their already expensive beers.
Go to the tempe location. Â You'll have a much better time.
This location is nice - definitely a better parking situation than the Tempe location. I'm not a fan of beer, but I still love coming here because the food is good and they usually have a delicious pear cider. Some of my favorites off the menu are the Brewer's Breakfast (only served on Sunday for brunch), the Thai hummus (spicy!), and sometimes their soup of the day is a tasty chicken curry.
Review Source:We usually go to the Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe but we were with family in the Scottsdale area so we tried this location. Anyone who love Stouts must go to  any of the Four Peaks locations. I'm from the micro brewing capital,Portland Oregon and the Four Peaks is my favorite brewery. HANDS DOWN !!!. They also have excellent food for a brewery.I had the Salmon BLT with fries which was great . My wife had there Garden Burger which she always enjoys. We've been going to the Four Peaks  for at least 10 years and always on St. Paddies Day. The corn beef sandwich was outstanding this yea at the Tempe location .  For people who have never experienced the Four Peaks Brewery you must give it a try. One time is all you need to get HOOKED.
Review Source:You have to love a local brewery and Four Peaks has a great reputation around the valley. The Scottsdale Four Peaks has a different feel than the original Tempe location and obviously attracts a different crowd - older, calmer. Â I remember liking the food at Tempe, but that was years ago and since I've started going to this location, I haven't been too impressed with the standard bar fare, but it's a great place to get a local beer. The peach and the Sun Bru are my favorites.
Review Source:Four Peaks is probably the best local brews in Phoenix and I always make it into one when I am in town. I have been to both the Scottsdale as well as the Tempe locations.
The Scottsdale location is newer and has more seating than the Tempe location which always seems to have a line. When we went we were seated right away.
We came in time for happy hour and got a pitcher of their famous Kilt Lifter brew. Our waitress was so-so. She took our order and checked in on us what seemed like every 20 minutes. She was actually more worried about the guys only tables than she was about us (since we had a female). Our food was brought to us by different waiters.
We ordered the mediterranean pizza and the salmon BLT. The large pizza cost $18 but was more than enough for our group. Although I felt they kind of skimmed on the cheese. The salmon BLT was delicious. The salmon was fall apart and not one bit dry at all. Â
Overall the Scottsdale location was solid. It's in a busy part of Scottsdale and the parking is in a major plaza so you don't have to worry about parking on an unlit street like the Tempe location. The fact that it was also larger in size was also a plus because we had to wait over a half an hour in Tempe. The brews are good, the food is good, they're got all the TVs you need, there's out door seating by a fire, and overall the servers were good; with the exception of our waitress.
Conclusion:::::::::
Beer = A
Prices = B ($5-20 for beers and food)
Servers = B
Location = A
If Four Peaks doesn't tickle your fancy then there's always Twin Peaks in the same plaza ;)
This is an easy one, we go to one of the Four Peaks locations at least once per month and I've been happy every single time. Â Always solid service, kid friendly (without turning into a kid-only restaurant), food is great, and of course the beer.... Â When I have a client moving into town I make sure to bring them here, it's the perfect local place to show off.
Review Source:I was so excited to go here with my husband. New to the area, we are always looking to try to places. Having read good reviews, we were ready to have a good night out. The bartender greeted us fairly quickly with a smile, took our drink order and had it to us in a couple of minutes and that's as good as the service got. She ignored us for awhile and the glass sat empty. She never offered us a food menu, but she did to the people next to us. We asked for a menu. Although, she did know the guests next to us and it was our first time, so why pay any extra attention to us?
We ordered the chicken strips off the late night menu. It was honestly really good. So I really should give more stars for that, but really, I don't think so...
What makes me so unhappy, was not only did I receive lazy service, but we tried this place out during their 'you call it' happy hour. Hmm..,maybe because I'm from California, I have different expectations but even a quick Google search can confirm that a you call it happy hour is, you pick what you want for the advertised price. However, that was not what we got. The Vodka and redbull? $3 for the well vodka and $2 for the redbull. My Hendricks and Tonic was $8. Even my pint of beer was $3.50. I am not the type to raise a fuss, and obviously we already drank the stuff so I'm gonna pay the bill, but I won't be back. We even tipped our careless bartender 20%.
I hope my review keeps someone else from wasting their time at this place because I have definitely been to better bars in Scottsdale!
Four Peaks has the best bar food in town. I recommend the Thai Hummus (it will totally blow your mind), chicken enchiladas, beer battered chicken fingers and fries. The service here is usually good but the last time I went it definitely not to par, but I will be back. TVs everywhere to enjoy your sports and tons of beer on tap. Again best place if you are craving greasy bar food to watch your favorite sports team.
Review Source:Ya know how people say "I really wanted to like this place" or "I want to like this place more than I do"? It's such a stupid thing to say, because obviously you want to like a place, you don't go somewhere and say "I really want to hate spending my money here and eating their food."
Well anyway, rant aside. I do actually want to like this place and I come here pretty regularly, but the service is so annoying. My work buddies and I like to come in after work for a few beers and some food. The food is pretty good, I love their spicy Thai hummus, and the beers are obviously great, the patio is comfortable with heaters in the winter as well. But the service just irks the crap out of me. The girls usually are swamped no matter how many people are there. Most of the time, we don't even know who our server actually is because two or three people come over and take our orders. Sometimes the first girl leaves and trades us off to someone new, or the girl just flat out disappears.
Most of the time, our drinks sit empty until someone finally sees us and takes another order, other times our drinks aren't even halfway empty and theyre trying to get us another round.
They're friendly and nice, but being nice isn't really the only way to do things. Meh, maybe I'm too critical, but I shouldn't have to ask the food runner for plates, napkins and silverware. Or glasses of water like three or four times.
I'll keep coming here because the alternative options suck even more :ahem Twin Peaks ahem Skeptical Chymist ahem:
I love Four Peaks. I like to try to support Local Restaurants whenever possible, and Four Peaks Brewery makes it easy!
Admittedly, I'm not much of a beer drinker, but when we have out of town guests we always stock Kilt Lifter, and they are always very appreciative- so I guess it is good!
Anyway, the atmosphere is very much pub and loud with games, and people drinking.
The food is NOT your typical bar food. Everything seems to be made in house.
I love the Garden Burger. I add Sauteed Onions and Mushrooms, a little bit of mayo and it is completely a sloppy, yummy mess. I'm obsessed. The bun is buttered and grilled.
I often try not to get a side of french fries and opt for salad. The salad is always fresh and their ranch dressing is homemade and fabulous. When I do opt for the French Fries I always enjoy them. They are so perfectly fried and seasoned. They are beer battered along with much of the fried goods at Four Peaks. REALLY great fries. I also use the ranch for those ;)
Other Hits Include appetizers like:
Bavarian Pretzels- Mmm spicy mustard sauce!
Spanakopita
Garlic Beer Bread
Thai Hummus- with peanut sauce
AND if I didn't have a difficulty with lactose, I would finish the Spinach and Artichoke dip on my own in about 3 seconds flat.
They also have a great Vegetable Beer Bread.
They have a surprising amount of Vegetarian Options, and I know that carnivores go crazy for their food as well.
I highly recommend Four Peaks to anyone and everyone!
I just don't like the people who work here. Â They act like teenagers (texting, rolling eyes, ignoring customers while chatting with friends or flirty patrons) and I want a more grown-up experience when going out for a beer. Â The only thing I like about this place is the Kiltlifter and the Turbodog (yes, they have non-Four Peaks taps!)
I also hate going into places where I can't use my iPhone browser.
I LOVE Four Peaks. What I don't love is Scottsdale. Or the people who inhabit it, really. Including the servers.
I've been a fan of FP for a LONG time. Great food, incredible beer, and great times. On this occasion, and it doesn't happen often, I wanted to tell the girl serving us that she should get the fuck off of her phone, stop bullshitting with the bartender, and do some fucking work. Like serving us, because she voluntarily accepted a position as a server in a bar.
We got there and got seated at a high top, which we asked for. When I saw that the Pumpkin Porter was on tap, I HAD to have me summa dat! And so we waited. Annnnnnnnnndddddddd waited. And still we waited..... for a server to arrive to ask us what we would like to drink.
It took us long enough to figure out what we wanted to order before the server showed up. So, she took our drink order, and started to turn around... NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!!!.... we placed our food order, as well.
The drinks came first. Yep. And instead of a rum and Coke, we got a diet rum. YUCK. And so we waited.... And I finally said FUCK THIS SHIT!! and got up and walked my happy ass up to the bar and placed it on the bar for a new one. The bartender, in all of her preciousness, acted like it was going to be an act of Congress to replace the drink. Instead of simply replacing the drink, she went to the well, poured the drink, and left it in the window to be picked up by the server. And the server came with the drink... And the comment, "Um... Yeah... I rang it in as a Rum and Coke, and she swears she poured a rum and Coke.... Try this, and see if it's better." Listen here, server girl.. I don't give a shit who did what, or why. And I'm not looking for a Congressional inquiry, either. I just care that we get what we order in a timely, and professional fashion.
When our food came, we ordered 2 Growlers of Pumpkin Porter. The server says, "Um.... Did you want me to get those NOW???? Or....??? Like, I can wait until you're ready to leave." I was thinking, we've tried this whole "waiting for you to do your job thing, and it's just not working out too well", but refrained from speaking it.
The Twin Peaks rejects are beginning to infiltrate my beloved Four Peaks. Blonde, snotty, sarcastic, and snide, lots of cleavage, and dumb as a bag of hammers.... Glad I went to a horse show following the experience. They (the horses) allowed me to reconnect with intelligence.
We've been going to four peaks for some time now and we are never let down. The food is great, the service is great and the beer is wonderful as well. Pricing is normal, nothing outrageous. The Tempe location has a better atmosphere, simply because of the layout and all the brick, etc. The Scottsdale location can get very busy but you are waiting in less of a line than you would in Tempe and you can actually find parking at this location.
I usually get the grilled chicken sandwich, it's great. I've had the jalapeño burger before, it's quite delicious too! The cream cheese and fresh jalapeños make it oh so good. Not to mention they have AMAZING chicken fingers here. I don't eat fried food often, but those chicken tenders tempt me every time. So so good.
Location is very close to home. Â Food and beers are amazing. Â Service is is a B+ to an A-. Â The location doesnt serve as cold of beer as the Tempe location, but otherwise a solid review is needed from my end.
A glass of RAJ IPA or Kilt-lifter with the 8th Street Ale Chicken Strips are to die for. Â Try the Rueban or nachos as well. Â Sit back and look at the slide show or some of the photos posted and I bet you will find something you like.
The only thing holding me back from a 5 star is that parking can be a major bummer, and that they always check ID's.
LOCAL BREWERY - Never as good as Tempe location but still great!!!
Went last night during Thursday Nigh Football Cards vs. Rams game - place was packed out - standing room only & hour wait. Our friends (regulars) told us the trick is to come around half time and the place starts to clear out - sure enough that was the case.
Lots of big screens to enjoy the game on - and they've got the pumpkin porter rocking right now so you have to swing through if your in the area - not a huge fan of pumpkin anything but THEIR porter is delicious!
Had the Fish-n-chips, which the batter is made in their Kilt Lifter brew - a favorite when drinkinng Scottish ales - 6% ABV
The steak sandwich rolled up on the beer bread is awesome. Â I had this based on a recommendation by my aunt and she was right. Â I didn't want it to ever end. Â It was also very well sized, so much so that I had some the next day as well, made great left overs.
I also split a soft pretzel when I was there - highly recommended. Â
And of course the beer was good and very well priced.
This is for the Scottsdale location only. Â I find this location awkwardly placed in the busy strip mall of Hayden & FLW. Â Essentially parking is really hard to find during peak times, the staff tends to be over worked, and all for some over priced bar food.
If you're going here purely for the meal itself, I'd say pass. Â If it's a night out sampling IPAs or other tap beers, it's simply ok. Â There's a lively mixed crowd typical of Scottsdale where everyone fits in.
I have to say that I prefer the Tempe location much more. But seeing as it's hell on Earth outside (literally) I was taking no chances with parking or seating so I chose to come here. The atmosphere has a fun sports bar feel and the service is pleasant enough.
My beer batter chicken strips were tasty but it was the garlic cheese beer bread that was the best part of my meal. There must be crack in the marinara because it was damn good.
I don't know if I'd make it a habit of visiting this location but there are a lot worse places I could have ended up.
First off, I have to say that I'm not a beer drinker. Hubby ordered the sampler (a small glass of each of their brews) and I didn't like any of them, even the peach ale. He liked most of them thought, so I guess the brews are pretty good.
The food was good, but a bit bland. Again, hubby had the best meal of the night with their fish and chips and fries. The fish and chips was some of the best I've ever had- fresh, crispy, and perfectly cooked. I had the Mediterranean pizza and it was good, but needed salt. The chicken was a bit overcooked, but that's hard to avoid when you cut it so small and thin. The pizza's crust had a great flavor and was crispy without being dry. Our friend ordered the shrimp carbonara and it was seriously under-salted and under-seasoned. I don't think she was impressed with the parmesan bread that came with it either.
Main complaint of the night (other than some of the food being bland) was that the service was a bit slow and inattentive. My food (the pizza) came out first even though on the menu it said to expect to wait longer for a pizza. The waitress went back several times before she came out with hubby's fish and chips. It also took a while for the waitress to check on us, bring the check, etc. Granted, it was a Friday night but it wasn't like the place was packed out the door.
Oh, and this place was LOUD.
Beer. Â Beer. Â Beer.
That pretty much seems to be the highlight of this place.
I'm not even a beer drinker so can't review the quality of their brews but apparently the Oatmeal Stout was good and a deal at $3.25/16oz during happy hour.
I can vouch for the food though. Â I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (with goats cheese and veggies on multigrain bread) with side salad for $10. Â It was one of the featured Sunday specials. Â The chicken was cooked well but coated with a heavy layer of peppery seasoning. Â I personally enjoyed it but imagine it would probably be a little extreme for most. Â The small 12" medium crust BBQ chicken pizza was also good ($14.50) and huge enough to share. Â Both our meals involved simple ingredients but the quality was above average compared to your typical pub fare.
Wish they had a few more wine options for us non-beer drinkers but then again I wouldn't want to hear a beer drinker say that at a wine bar, so I won't judge.
Very casual atmosphere made up of everyone from college kids to young families on the early Sunday evening we were there. Â We drove by here on Friday night when it looked much livelier and their outdoor patio was packed. Â
Decent service and overall good place, especially for all you beer drinkers out there!
My husband was in the mood for Pumpkin Porter, so we opted to have dinner at Four Peaks. Â I'm not a beer drinker, so I can only comment on the food. Â It was okay, but nothing to entice me back anytime soon.
We started with the Arizona Chicken Rolls..an egg roll of sorts with chicken, cheese, and chiles. Â If your philosophy is "the cheesier the better," these are for you. Â For me it was like eating a cheese egg roll. Â We also shared the chicken strips and the fish & chips. Â My first thought with the chicken strips was that they had used nasty cooking oil. Â My husband pointed out it was the beer batter (8th Street Ale). Â Whatever it was, I didn't care for it at all, and neither did he. Â The fish was okay, although it's served in smaller pieces rather than large filets.
So 2 stars for the food and 4 for the beer judging by the fact we had to take a growler home with us.
