OHSO Brewery + Distillery — Restaurant in Phoenix

I am a person who does not write many reviews good or bad. I have to speak up about this experience over the Fourth of July weekend at this establishment I made to trip out of state to visit OHSO because in previous experiences I have always had such a fantastic time as well as enjoyed the ambience for humans and animals. I bring my Canine when I travel so I try to research the best places to keep a dog cool during the summer heat in Phoenix. I have been coming here out of state for many years to visit OHSO for that specific reason. I went at 6pm and it was hot of course but the beautiful fans at the tables and the nice misters always keeps you cool and the animals enjoy the environment. I was sat at a table that the fans were not in working order. Around me was four open tables since it was the Holiday weekend. It was most definitely still cool with the misters and surrounding fans with the sun was going down. It was still comfortable enough and I thought it was going to be a great experience. I ordered an appetizers and drinks without any issue. 45 minutes into the meal the misters were cut off. The manager stated that the owner does not like them running after so many hours. That is the way it is sorry. No further explanation and or no resolution was given as a patron. Basically deal with it or leave were my current options. She turned around and walked away to continue her conversation with other people. I got up and moved my food, my drinks, and my stuff in the middle of my appetizers to another table with a working fan while she was watching this happen. Then moved my 75lb Canine and his stuff with now the staff watching. Unfortunately my food did not taste as good because of the delay of moving without any help. Since Canines tempature normal is 102 degrees and above I could tell this was stressing my canine. The experience after that point forward was not satisfactory. I really wanted to stay and order dinner and dessert. The environment changed and no one within the facility that could help would make the effort. I simply just asked for the check and left. I normally make this place the last place I eat prior to leaving the state because the brunch is just wonderful on Sundays. This is the first time I chose not to. In fear that my Canine might get overheated and I will be labeled as a "difficult customer." I really hope this changes because it is an amazing place. I won't be returning to this establishment. I will also stop recommending this place to my friends and family for fear that it might happen to them when they travel through. I hope that this doesn't continue happening because it can really upset the canines which in turn upsets the Patrons of the restaurant. Thank you for your...

11/15/14 7:30ish PM visit. First, what is happening to this planet that a brewery has valet parking?! Honestly, how can you promote cycling and active lifestyle in your pub and then have valet parking? It appears that the city should not have issued an occupancy number as high as it did since you can't park the cars for the number of people who patronize your establishment. Someone will get hit by a car dashing across Indian School because they parked on the south side of the street. i assume there's a kickback by the valet company to the restaurant, why else would a brewery have valet parking? So, after shoehorning ourselves into a non-valeted parking spot we got to meet the rather unhappy and unpleasant hostess. Without a smile or warm greeting we were asked about inside or outside seating. We're all about sitting outside so she sent us to the back of the restaurant (great idea with the little paw prints we needed to follow). When we saw the hostess on the patio she informed us that we would have to wait 45-60 minutes. Wow, it would have been helpful if the first hostess would have said, "we have inside seating immediately and outside seating that will be approximately an hour wait, which would you prefer?" So, our group of 4 four turned around and went back to the surely hostess up front who just sent us on a little walk. Seats remained available in the dining area we were in for the roughly 75 minutes we were there. They had a nice selection of beer. Being a wheat fan and how everyone seems to be going IPA these days it was nice to have some wheat variety. The pretzel platter was good, based on a review recommendation. Everyone one at the table had something different and it was all enjoyed. Our waitress was great, funny, attentive and lighthearted. I don't know if I'll be back. The parking issue really got under my skin, and many other reviewers, and the hostess needs an attitude adjustment...but the beer and food were worth returning for, perhaps I should stick to weekday afternoons? 2 of the 4 of us had beer, 4 entrees and 1 appetizer came to $87, not including tip...and...

If you’re looking for the perfect spot to enjoy great food, amazing cocktails, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere, O.H.S.O. should be at the top of your list! My recent visit was absolutely fantastic, and I can’t wait to go back.

We sat outside at the bar, and it was a dream. November in Arizona is truly unmatched, and O.H.S.O. makes the most of it with their spacious patio seating. The best part? Dogs are welcome on the back patio, and we saw the cutest pups ever. It really added to the laid-back, friendly vibe.

Now, onto the food—chef’s kiss! I ordered their mac and cheese and personalized it with bacon and jalapeños. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely bursting with flavor. The bacon added the perfect crunch, and the jalapeños brought just the right amount of heat. We also tried the chicken and waffles, and wow—crispy, fluffy, and perfectly balanced with the sweet syrup and savory chicken. Talk about comfort food done right!

The cocktails were another highlight. I had the Oasis Punch, which was fruity, refreshing, and exactly what I needed to pair with the meal. My partner had the Catch Me If You Cran, a seasonal cranberry cocktail that was tart, sweet, and perfectly crafted. Both drinks were so good we almost ordered seconds!

The service was top-notch, too. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of even though the place was buzzing with energy. Plus, with the ASU game playing on the TVs, the atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming.

O.H.S.O. truly delivers on all fronts: incredible food, creative cocktails, excellent service, and a patio experience that’s perfect for enjoying the weather—and making a few furry friends. If you haven’t been yet, this is your sign to check it out. I’ll definitely...
