8-bit Aleworks - Avondale

A scrappy up-and-comer, a game-themed taproom serving several types of beers. Flights available. Board games are free to borrow, along with standup arcade cabinets (that each had a broken stick or button when I tried). I enjoyed the drinks. I would prefer a darker vibe. The shop is well-lit and seems to welcome parents with young kids, which further creates a wholesome ambiance that doesn't speak to my inner scoundrel. Looking forward to a larger adult clientele that goes to be sociable.

So impressed with this place. Family ran, with the best employees you can possibly find. If you like retro games the vibe is strong here. The beer just as strong. lol! we tried pretty much all they have and I can't complain about any of them. My favorite was White Mage!! They were setting up for a Fundraising event right as we were leaving. These are awesome people you've gotta come check it out

Been here 3 times, the first 2 times I stopped by to pick up some beers to go. Last night I actually had a chance to sit at the bar and chill. Really good beers on tap, with very friendly bar service, and nostalgic video game vibes. I will be back when I stop by Phoenix area again.

Truly great fun for this Yelp find! This joint is a bit out of the way, but worth it. The proprietor knows what he is doing because all the styles I tried were on point! If I'm in the area I'm coming back here, and I'll need to Uber because the Mayan Chocolossus was not a sessionable beer and crave worthy! They even had a panini maker for a brew snack..I had the cubano, and added the pickled hop shoots! Fab! Ambiance is industrial brewery, service was fab, and prices were great! This joint makes the list!

We stopped by here while in town for Spring Training to grab a cold one. Being from SoCal we thought this might have been affiliated with the Temecula location but the owner mention they weren't, which is ok because they have they're own little vibe going. Nice small cozy tap room with a few retro Nintendo games you can try for free (just have to ask). In terms of the beer, they only had about 4-5 selections when we went but the ones we had were good. Nice husband and wife owned place.
