Sip Coffee & Beer — Restaurant in Phoenix

I walked by a giant line at Pete's coffee to go to the new Concourse D, grab a cookie and an iced late from Sip, and then walked past the same line that had moved like all of three people. And you know what, Sip's coffee was TASTY, it was rich without being too bitey, the milk came through with creaminess that didn't drown out the roast, the vanilla was just the right sweetness on top of every sip. Oh, and because I'm an adult I had that chocolate chip cookie for breakfast.

But the best thing about Sip is that if you wanted to you could have an empinada and beer while you waited for your plane. What about a cookies and cream muffin? What about an actual view of aircraft doing their thing on the apron? Instead of crowding in line with a bunch of coffee starved sheep queuing for the first fix they say after security, cozy up to the bar, chat with someone, and take your pick of libations and sustenance. I'm definitely looking forward to exploring Sip more my next trip...

I had a connecting flight in phoenix, and during that short layover I decided to grab a drink and sit down. I stumbled across Sip Coffee & Beer, and it was a lovely reprieve from waiting around in an airport

The layout is fairly open, with limited seating, but you can always take your order to-go. There are two main sections, the coffee section and the bar (alcohol section). They are both connected, but both have slightly different vibes. They have coffee store type foods as well as bar type foods

The staff were friendly and helpful. I only ordered a beer, but it came out quickly. I came in a plastic pint glass that looked glass, but I was disappointment with the plastic feel in terms of weight and temperature

Some tips: They have local beers to try, and if you're just passing thru it's a great opportunity to try local phoenix...

It’s an airport bar and quick serve cafe… expectations are low, but the staff is amazing. Big shoutout to the bartender, Irvin, who is very attentive, friendly, and good vibes. His level of paying attention to customers exceeds expectations for an airport bar. I visited his bar twice and both times, he was very much on top of his game. Other staff also seemed to be in good energy and well trained. As someone who has worked in hospitality for over 25 years, I very much appreciate people like Irvin. He seems to enjoy his work, and as one of his customers, I seek the benefits. This seems to be a rarity nowadays, so it’s refreshing to have a 5-star service experience at an airport bar.

Food was not bad. Overpriced as expected for an airport. No complaints other than the...
