The Casual Pint of Central Phoenix — Restaurant in Phoenix

Like the concept, food is alright. Better than the average bar food menu. I would suggest the pretzel and the brat with cheese, peppers and onions!

Update: they changed the cheese on the brat and now it’s like cheese whiz. Yuck.

Also not sure of his name but I am assuming he is a manager. White guy with dark facial hair. Always wears a ball cap. One of his associates let us know about a promo on canned beer. Buy 6 and get 40% I think. He mentioned this because every time my partner and I come in, we try the assortment of canned beers from their logo designs. Just our ritual. So we asked if we can do it for here and add more later. Nobody wants warm beer. He said yes. Later at check out the manager rings us out and I remind him of the discount. The original guy was there so I said, well he said it was for here as well because I asked. He said nope just for to go. Didn’t take ownership for the mistake and offer the discount for the miscommunication. We would have probably only gotten 4 but because there was a deal we figured, sure why not? Coming from management, it’s just what you do when someone makes a mistake. Bad business.

Otherwise no issues. We have come to a few trivia nights and had...

I love beer and I live 2 blocks from this new addition to the Casual Pint chain. The beers are average price for a craft beer establishment. In the couple of visits I have had the staff was outstanding. The server was very friendly and gave my pup the attention he's always looking for. They even had dog brews! (Non alcoholic) I ordered the soft pretzel and tortilla chips and dips. The food was what brought the rating down. The chips where definitely store bought meaning the quality was suffering. The pretzel was good, but the cheese dip also tasted lack luster. The beer selection is great. 35 taps and a bunch of refrigerated bottles to choose from. The bartender was great beer convo providing suggestions with genuine interest in my particular taste. I'll be coming back for a beverage and beer talk. Happy these guys came to the neighborhood.

Update: This place has really grown on me. The staff is super friendly. The owner is involved and a genuine beer lover. This place is run very well for anyone who appreciates the craft. They have many events and tons of involvement with highly reputable breweries. I have had some of the best beers imaginable via Casual...

This was a cool fun spot! I came here on a holiday eve, I forget which one, but I think it was either Christmas or New Year. It was unsurprisingly pretty empty but I just wanted to check it out since I had never been and lived nearby at the time. I also needed a bottle to bring home and this was one of the few spots open. I picked out a bottle of bubbly and then sat at a high top and popped open the bottle and decided to try their quesadilla. The bartender was friendly and brought my order out promptly. The quesadilla was nothing spectacular but got the job done, also to be expected for typical bar fare. The wine was crispy cold, just the way I like it (it came straight from the refrigerated section). Price/value was fair too. I had a good experience here though and wish I had been able to return to attend some of their events; it looked like they had weekly stuff like trivia and other specialty events (paint and sips, etc). If I return to the area, I would try to make it back here for one of...
