Love the atmosphere of this brewery. The staff is always friendly and dos a great job of keeping all their tables running. The food is great. Good pizzas and better burgers. The pricing is a little higher than normal but it's definitely worth it. Can't wait to come back, especially to watch the games during Basketball season!
Review Source:I've always loved hanging out at Four Peaks in Tempe, but man oh man SanTan gives it a run for its money! It's evolved into my favorite Downtown Chandler haunt.
SanTan is always loud and bumping with tons of people, but that's part of the fun. Love hanging out on the patio during the cooler months. Don't worry, there's heat lamps for you "60 degrees is cold!" wussfaces out there.
Their beer is excellent; try the Epicenter and Devil's Ale. Oh, and MR. PINEAPPLE when it's back in season. So good!
Haven't tried much of the food here (seeing as we're usually on a liquid bread diet upon entering, haha), but the Buffalo Chicken pizza was something different and you can share the personal sized one with one, maybe two others!
Happy to have SanTan in my neighborhood!
Stopped in a drink and appetizer on a Sunday night. Â First, I am biased, as I am already a fan of their beer, but have never been to the brewery. Â Beer was great as ever, nice and cold as it should be. Â Staff was friendly and attentive. Â And for a Sunday night, the place was busy. Â Only had the pretzels (hot, chewy, almost perfect!), but would be back A LOT more if I lived closer. Â Overall, a nice local beer spot for the local craft beer drinker.
Review Source:San Tan Brewing Company is awesome. Come for the beer and stay for the food my friends. My wife and I like to come here for the Sunday Brunch. They have unique food items too. The Hefeweizen is my favorite. Seasonal brews of Mr. Pineapple and Sex Panther are awesome too! The macaroni dish is amazing, so are the burgers. This place can get a little bit crowded for dinner on the weekends, but so glad this is in my backyard. Try it.
Review Source:This is hands down my boyfriend and I's favorite spot in Chandler... Actually... ANYWHERE. Â We absolutely LOVE San Tan Brewery and are there almost weekly. Â I always joke with him saying that one day we will have our rehearsal dinner there. Â I can not say one bad thing about this place. Â I walk in and it seems like people recognize us, that's when you know things are good!
San Tan becomes more packed everytime I go in, but I love that they do so well! Â They are very casual, loud, and a bar setting. Â Don't walk in expecting to get a Bud Light, or Miller Light. Â My fave beers are the Epicenter and Hefe. Â I have ordered so many different food items off the menu but my recent fave is the Pork Pabil.. Its amazing. Â
You will never go wrong with San Tan Fries... they are the best fries I have ever had. Â All the servers are awesome, I have never had bad service from anyone there. Â The bar tenders are great, and always make you feel like you are the only person at the bar. Â This place is awesome for groups, or a casual date. Â We bring out parents all the time and they love it just as much as we do.
I dropped into SanTan on a recent visit to Chandler, one of several breweries I had hoped to visit on my trip but it wound up being the only one. Â I wasn't quite as impressed I'd hoped based on the Yelpitude.
Like pretty much everything else in this part of the world, it's in a multi-use retail block, but it manages to capture some of the traditional brewpub vibe once you're inside with lots of wood and the prominently featured brewing vessels in the adjacent room. Â The main dining room is spacious and kid friendly with enough TVs to make it a nice destination for the whole family without drifting too far into sports bar territory.
The kids were starting to act like ours might be a pretty short trip, so I went with the beer sampler to make sure I got to sample as many as I could before having to call it quits. Â I didn't find any of the offerings to be particularly memorable, but the brews that did pique my interest were the Devil's Ale, Hopshock IPA and to a lesser degree the Negro Nitron.
We shared a plate of nachos, which were rather salty and made about as much of an impression as the beers I didn't specifically mention above.
The service was friendly enough, but not overly attentive despite it being a reasonably slow mid-afternoon. Â I would have had a pint of the Devil's Ale, and in fact ordered one that was apparently missed, but impending meltdowns forced us to leave before I could remind our waiter.
SanTan has potential but falls a little short of my brewpub bar. Â My experience may have been tempered a bit by keeping one eye open for heading off a public display of toddler disgruntlement, but even putting that aside, it was a fairly lackluster experience.
Great service, cold beer (Mr. Pineaple, yum!). My cousin ordered the Smokehouse Pork Belly Burger and loved it. How can you go wrong really? And I ordered the Cochinita Pork Pibil and it was quite tastey. The place was packed for a Wednesday night and it definitely reminded me of (dare I say it...) Four Peaks but I felt that their menu was more diverse than that other brewery of which I am highly loyal but definitely better food options here. I don't get into Old Town Chandler often as I live in Scottsdale but I would go out of my way again soon to get a 2nd visit under my belt.
Review Source:Thank you fellow Yelpers for guiding me to this awesome brewery!
SanTan Brew was conveniently located next to our hotel so a short 5 minute walk in the hot AZ sun was tolerable. There was ample seating both inside and out but we felt lucky no having to wait because the place was hopping! I really like the open air atmosphere SanTan has with the garage doors pulled up. Nice casual/industrial feel and is very welcoming to patrons of all ages.
I had a couple pints of the pineapple wheat which was surprisingly amazing! Great citrus flavor that wasn't too overpowering. The brew paired well with the Hawaiian BBQ pork pizza. The pizza had great, strong, and pungent flavors with just the right amount of bite to it (the chipotle bacon bits really set the pizza up for success).
Service was attentive and very friendly. The crowd of customers when we were there was a mix of tourist and locals winding down from a long days work. There are plenty of TV's for everyone to watch with a variety of sports/teams on to please almost everyone.
SanTan happen to be the first place we ate at during our trip to AZ and man did they set the bar high for the rest of our trip. If you're ever in Chandler, SanTan Brew is a must stop!
LOVE this place! It brews excellent beer, is easier to access than Four Peaks and the staff is friendly! The first time I came here was on NYE we miraculously got a table for 6 and it was a excellent kick off for the night. My husband and I like going here for the atmosphere and the beer haven't had too much of the food but what I have had was delicious. A+ Great job every time.
Review Source:So, I had the "Carne Asada Chimichanga With Rice & Beans" it may be my fault for ordering a Chimichanga at a Bar but it was part of the Beer Week so they had a  Chimichanga & Beer pairing so I decided to try it. It was not good at all sadly. Now it wasn't horrible but it was not good. My friends ordered  Burgers they seemed to enjoy theirs but since I didn't try it I can't quote on it. The beer from SanTan it always good so I enjoyed that. I'll go back one day not sure if it will be anytime soon thou.
Review Source:Great place to have nice cold one! Nowadays, with me getting old and friends buying houses in Gilbert, I think this will provide a great midway hangout spot.
The food was good and the beers were taststy and cold and the waiting staff were just great! I am trying to remember what I had that night... but...had too much that night to recollect anything.
I always have to try fish & chips when i go to a pub. And I am almost always disappointed. This was one of those times. Recipe seemed decent, but by the time I got my food, the fish was cold. I will say that for as crowded as this place is for lunch, they defy physics and still are able to deliver. They must serve over 500 hundred people every day for lunch. Amazing.
Any who, just your standard pub... nothing to write home about.
This is a great place to get food in downtown Chandler! Â I have had quite a few things off the menu and you really can't go wrong. Â The patio is a great spot to enjoy the Arizona sunshine and really just people watch.
I am a big fan of the Hefe here. Â It is delicious and if you ask they will give it to you with an orange which makes it taste AMAZING! Â
The only con is that it is always crowded and it gets pretty loud at night. Â Make sure you allow some wait time if you want to eat here.
Overall though, a pretty solid brewery!
As a craft beer fan who's all-too-willing to support my local brewery, I was surprised that I overlooked having brunch at SanTan Brewing Company. It was actually the idea of a friend of mine, a recent transplant to Phoenix from New Orleans, who has taken quite a liking to the East Valley. So the gauntlet was thrown down to get some Sunday brunch at SanTan, along with a morning adult beverage. I was still dubious after checking the restaurant's website and finding only a lunch/dinner menu, although Sunday hours appeared perfectly congruous with brunch (open at 10 a.m.). I'll be damned if I was going to eat a burger for brunch... with brunch I must have eggs! It turns out, I had nothing to fear. They serve brunch here on Sundays. Later fine-tooth-combing of the SanTan website revealed the brunch menu under "events".
Now for the food... I had some very respectable Green Chile Pork Enchiladas (served with EGGS!) and my dining companions had the Chilaquiles and the Beer Belly Breakfast burrito. All of these dishes featured the jalapeño bratwurst hash that our waiter raved about as his favorite. I do think it was a pretty tasty accompaniment to an already yummy plate of food, however, if they ever managed to use Von Hanson's jalapeno cheese brats to make their hash, I would indeed bump them up another star. Von Hanson's is a local Chandler meat shop (see my review) that has no equal when it comes to some of their signature sausages.
Another note: They offer some decent beer cocktails to go with Sunday brunch (although, for the life of me, I cannot find a brunch drink list on their website) including their interpretations of Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. My brunching friends were a little underwhelmed with the Bloodies (not spicy enough, in their opinions--but this was somewhat remedied with the waiter's assistance). But I was pretty content with my funky mimosa. It had a dose of their signature pineapple hefeweizen beer "Mr. Pineapple". Aaah... beer for breakfast!
Stopped here tonight for the first time. Wow. Good food. Good drinks. I had the bangers and mash which were not your typical English fare. They come on top of poblano pepper mashed potatoes with a green Chile gravy and Southwest style corn. Amazing! So good I would have taken a whole jar of the green Chile gravy home.
My fiance had the Hamberguesa which is the (as you guessed it) spicy Mexican spin on their burger. I tried a bite which was delicious. Crispy jalapenos on top along with red pepper aioli, yum. The meat itself also had a great flavor.
I also had the Strawberry Marilyn Monroe Mojito which was so good. It was a combo of strawberry vodka, Mr. Pineapple beer, champagne and OJ. While I wouldn't really call that a mojito because of the lack of rum, after two or three I don't care what I would call it. If I become a regular here (which I plan to) I will simply start referring to it as the triple M with strawberry. Strawberry Marilyn Monroe Mojito is simply to many words.
Service was good despite it being a busy Saturday evening. I will be back.
5 stars all-around. Â The BBQ pork / jalapeno pizza I'm telling you was so darn good. Â The "slingers" are awesome, fried cheese and bacon bit egg rolls with raunch dipping sauce. Â I mean it allowed me to drink like 4 more glasses. Â AWESOME. Â The beers were awesome. Â 1 of 3 days I was there I got some warm beer shooters on the sampler paddle, and then they hit me up with a $2.00 surcharge for "gravy" for the enchiladas. Â I mean that is just retarded and I pointed out the half-a-grand we spent with clients over 3 days so they removed the beer sampler. Â So I gotta follow-thru on 5 stars. Â As a former waiter / bartender in college I am real pragmatic. Â And this place makes it obvious why they had a line at 8:30 p.m. Friday and the Pubic House nearby wasn't. Â GREAT WORK. Â Dynamite. Â Great job. Â Impeccable service.
Review Source:Hands down, best brewery in the East Valley! It's a pretty bold statement, but they win based on atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating (complete with bar seating)...some of the other outdoor patrons had their dogs with them. I don't have any pets but I can appreciate when a business allows others to allow them outside with their owners while enjoying a good meal and brews.
The food is awesome (pork enchiladas!!) and the menu has great variety. Burgers, tacos, sandwiches, pizza, mac and cheese, $5 kids meals...you're bound to find more than one thing that you want to order. Beers...yes please. I like the HopShock, but now Mr.Pineapple is out so we have been drinking that. If you can't make up your mind, you can't go wrong getting the sampler.
The location is great and parking has never really been a problem. The last time we were there I had to drive around a bit (Sunday afternoon) but we were able to find a spot on the way back around. I just wish we lived a little bit closer...but that could be dangerous since I would be here all.the.time.
Been to San Tan Brewing Co. several time. They have very good  Stout beer. This time there Gordo Stout have coffee in it to make make it like and Irish Stout.The food is good for pub food. I had a half roasted baroque chicken with bake beans and french fries. My wife had there black bean burger with fries. Fairly noisy but what can you expect on a Saturday night. We'll go back as long as there making good beer.
Review Source:Someone needs to invent a teleportation machine stat. Â Why you ask? Â So I can transport my ass from Chicago to Phoenix and get to San Tan Brewing. Â We came here with friend we were visiting on our Chicago - Phoenix road trip. Â The underlying theme of this road trip was local and craft beer.
The beer here was the best local craft beer we had on our trip. Â We loved it so much we bought the mixed 12 pack and a growler of the seasonal brew to take home with us. Â I loved the hefeweizen. Â I'm a big fan of wheat beers, and this might very well be my new all time favorite. Â I loved the underlying banana flavor!
As if great beer weren't enough, our food was spectacular as well. Â I ordered the San Antonio Mac n Cheese - mac n cheese with brisket and cornbread topping?!?! Â Yes, please! Â I'm not normally a big fan of brisket, but brisket + mac n cheese = omg! Â The portion was absolutely huge too. Â My friend Jessie and I both ordered it, and we easily could have split one. Â The boys were happy we didn't though because they got to snack on the leftovers later that night.
The prices were really reasonable too. Â It was under/ around $100 for two flights, four meals, a kids meal, a growler and a 12 pack!
The best brewery in the valley hands down. Â When I first moved to Phoenix almost 5 years ago this was one of the first places I went and I've been coming back ever since. Â
Great tasting craft beers along with exceptional seasonals. Â My two favorites being Mr. Pineapple and the Winter Warmer. Â But you can't really go wrong with any of their beers. Â Also, the food is fantastic. Â Their pizzas are great and well pretty much everything else is tasty as well. Â
I love the location in downtown Chandler. Â The eclectic, artsy vibe down there is quite refreshing compared to the Mill Ave / Old Town Scottsdale one. Â The ONLY minor downgrade is the parking situation which can be a little frustrating due to the amount of people who venture to the downtown Chandler area. Â However, it hasn't stopped me from going to San Tan once. Â
If theres one place I always recommend to people new to the area, its San Tan.
Really Good. Â We sat outside, but was a bit cold, so asked to move in. Â 10 minutes later, had a table inside. Â Had the Grille Cheese, and the Mac and Cheese with pulled pork. Â ALOT OF FOOD. Â Great value and well worth it. Â Had lunch the next day. Â Really good, will be back again
Review Source:I stopped by here for lunch on recommendation that their bar food was better than average. Â I ordered their bacon burger with fries, ice tea. Â The ice tea was peachy in taste, which I do not care for. Â What ever happened to good Pekoe ice tea!!! Â The burger was ordered well done, however was delivered with raw meat in the center. Â I know I may be particular, but I am paying for this and my expectations are not over the top with simple cooking. Â
Overall the fries were very good. Â The place was excessively loud, another place where you pay for the privilege of yelling at your dinner companion....which I do NOT care for. Â
Wont be back!!
Great beer selection and the food is solid as well. Â Right in the middle of downtown Chandler, its a great place for lunch, dinner or just to hang out.
Sux the way this small town brewery was treated by BIG BAD BOSTON LAGER SAM ADAMS a while back because San Tan's original custom beer glass happened to have been designed using similar science to the SAMMY curved glass. Â Amazing that corporations quickly forget their roots and where they came from. The San Tan glass was way cool, and I managed to buy some over the years and apparently before they were all gone thanks to big corporate buffoonery. Â That glass was a San Tan Original but no more thanks to big money corporate east coast lawyers. Â
Sad so sad.
Anyway, back to this great bar and restaurant. Â Its fantastic. Â Stay downtown next time you are in town and make sure you stop in here. Â You will love San Tan.
Late afternoon in Downtown Chandler sucking down a craft brew on the patio at San Tan .... Priceless. Â Oh and you can sit outside on the patio at San Tan sipping that craft brew watching the day go by downtown in February! Â
Something you CANNOT do in BOSTON in February! Â Ha! Â Prosit!
Can Mr Pineapple be year-round? Â Please.
I love this place. Â It's always packed full. Â I've never not waited here & that sucks. Â Maybe try making a reservation? Â The wait is worth it though... just grab a beer at the bar... please don't order a mixed drink or wine. Â BEER.
Food is great. Â I stick with the pizza. Â I've had the pretzels but they weren't life-changing.
Be prepared. Â It gets super loud on the weekends as the night goes on... you won't be able to hear anyone next to you unless they're shouting or you read lips.
I have only been here once, but I really liked it. Â The brewery is very clean and modern and has ample amounts of tvs for sports watching. Â The beers here are good, but nothing spectacular. Â The food was great! Â I ordered a sonoran hot dog and man was it a hit! Â
Overall I would definitely recommend coming here to hang out with some friends and drink some brewskis:) Â Too bad it's so far from me.
This place is dangerous! Â This is how my nights usually go when I go to SanTan:
Somebody, "Hey lets go grab a brew at San Tan" Somebody else, "Okay, sounds good." Â
Sounds innocent doesn't it!
Fast-forward 5hours, many beers and new acquaintances later, and we are dancing at one of the less than fine establishments down the road. Â It seriously never fails! Â
I love their beer, especially the Devil's Ale and their stout. Â
Good beer+good people=Good times! Â I will continue to come back!
Great Black Bean Burger! If you are a VEGETARIAN, not vegan (which most people don't know the difference between ), then you'll like this vegetarian-friendly burger. Very tasty, unlike 80% of vegetarian food.
Yummy house margaritas, I don't like tasting too much alcohol in mine so I like it.
My fiance and I have been here a few times, along with friends and family. Â I have been here for lunches, dinners, and just drinks many of times.
Meal: Â I usually stick to the burgers and the appetizers. Â And anything they brew! Â
Taste: Â Their food is top notch. Â Even if you don't care about craft beer (which would make you weird, sad person), their food is worth the visit. Â The pizzas aren't that bad, but they aren't the best option on the menu. Â Onion rings are terrific, and when paidred with a beer and burger, life doesn't get better. Â 9 out of 10.
Value: Portions are very good size and even for being a big guy, I never finish a full meal here. Â The other thing I appreciate about this place is that when you ask for a side of sour cream, they don't nickle and dime you . . . and if you order a beer that isn't to your liking, they will get you another one free of charge. Â 4 out of 5.
Service/Cleanliness: Â Even during the busiest of times, this place still has excellent service. Â Even when I was there for St. Patty's day, the quality of service did not deteriorate. Â Servers are typically funny, nice, and can talk intelligently about beer. Â 9 out of 10.
Atmosphere: Â It is exactly what a brew house should be without it seemingly gimmicky or cliche. Â Patio sitting is nice and comfortable. Â And they host multiple types of events during the week which prevents the stale feeling you sometimes get when you visit a place too often. Â 5 out of 5.
Overall: Â Get there now. Â If you don't drink beer, you will still love this place. Â I recommend going during the movie nights or when they release the weekly cask ale. Â And venture out on what beer you typically drink - I hate IPA's but I have no problem drinking San Tan's! Â 27 out of 30 points, 5 out of 5 stars.
I must update my first review of San Tan. Â After visiting many breweries in the state this is probably still my favorite local brewery. Â First off I like that it's in an old bank in downtown Chandler. Â I also like that they have garage style doors behind the bar so you can have fresh air inside.
2nd is the beer. Â It's amazing! Â I think the Negro Nitrogen black IPA is one of my favorite beers of all time! Â It's like a cross of a ipa and a smooth stout. Â I love this beer! Â I also love their seasonal imperial red. Â Lately I have been buying the Devils Ale and Hopshock IPA in cans for home. Â I don't think I have bought any other beer for a while. Â There are many other beers here and I like most of them.
Lastly the food is really really good. Â Especially their burgers. Â They are stuffed with cheese and are amazing.
I wish I lived closer to San Tan. Â I'm lucky my brother in law does live close though so I always attempt to come down here when I'm visiting family.
LOVE this place. Great for anyone - even families.
Excellent home brewed beer - I tried one kind and couldn't even try another - it was too good and I had to keep ordering it.
The fish and chips are INCREDIBLE.
Everyone I've ever went with here has loved it. Went with people from my wife's work who had never been - they were all sold. They've been back several times without us, even.
You'll pay a little but well worth it.
Even their appetizers are fantastic - sliders, and the hummus! Oh yes.
We headed to Historic Downtown Chandler for an art opening at the Chandler Center for the Arts last Friday night. We were a little early (of course, we planned it that way!), so we headed to Santan Brewing Company for a light dinner and a beer.
It was my first foray into the historic district and into Santan. 5:30 on a Friday is probably not the most sensible time to be looking for a quick dinner and drinks. But, as busy as they were, we were seated immediately and beers were in our hands before we could blink!
I settled on the special Abbey and downtown sliders. I was stuffed with just two of the sliders and some wonderful big, fat, tasty hot fries. The fries tasted like real potatoes and not frozen prefabricated cardboard. My taste buds rejoiced with a nice rich dark Abbey to wash it all down.
We were served quickly and pleasantly by our server - Joey - and made it to the art opening across the street with plenty of time to spare.
One star down for the noise level. Â Go to Santan Brewing Company to enjoy the food and beer . . . don't go for long, in-depth conversations with your dining companions. On a Friday night, after a long week of work, it will take far too much heavy concentration to hear across the table. I think this was the loudest restaurant I have ever been in. But the food & drink were well worth waiting to solve the world's problems until we were back outside.
