Great service. Really tasty food and margarita. They have a plant-based menu! I had the North Carolina bowl which was really good but I think it could be improved with the addition of rice or beans on the side or maybe in the bowl. It was really loud inside and completely full with people at dinnertime.
The parking lot may require an extensive walk depending on your arrival time but once in the door your greeted with a smile, asked to choose your own seating and tasked with scanning your menu. Pro Tip for beer drinkers, there is a $2 open fee if you take a beverage from the fridge so I recommend sticking to the taps to avoid any confusion on your tab. Regardless, the beer selection is ample, filled with local goodness and refreshingly cold. The food (I went with the green chile stew) was spicy AF but I love that so I was enjoying every savory bit. My missing star is on account of an odd interaction with a staff member who through her awkward inquiry and response regarding my partys sudden departure made the end of my visit weird enough to lose a star. Prior to that interaction I was pleasantly engaging with every staff member. Not even sure who she was but it prompted me to vocalize the fact, Id be writing a review of my experience which I never share publicly with a business.
Been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint! Over a hundred beers with around 30 on tap. They specialize in smoked meats and put a new Mexican twist on a lot of their dishes. The smoked jalapeno poppers and the rosemary goat cheese cheesecake with a lavender honey drizzle were both amazing. Highly recommend. The sliders were okay as the Hawaiian rolls didnt hold up to all the toppings and you couldnt really appreciate the smoked meats but definitely going back to try more of their menu.
I have been here a couple of times now and it has always been a blast!! The vibes and decor are beautiful. They have SOOO many delicious drink options AND the food never fails. Plus you are supporting a local business. It doesnt get much better than this ... or at least not until they open their ROOFTOP patio!! I would highly recommend.
Lots of bears (like 100).Good food. Nice and spicy too!
Came for the pub pass staid for the food. This place not only has a ton of beers on tap but a full bar full of amazing cocktails! The food was unexpectedly fantastic. Soo good! If I would have known about this place earlier, they would know my name by now. Will definitely be back!! UPDATE!! Went back the next day for dinner. Service was sub par. Too bad . No longer five star.
My wife and I went on a date to the Love Craft man-o-man what a meal to remember plus the atmosphere was OUT of this world. The Eddie were so helpful with the menu he was our Waiter, the hot sauces were also something I will remember. My wife and I will be returning very shortly as soon as we can.
First time here. Service was great, food is excellent. Definitely going back.
I was pretty sure this was going to be one of my new favorite restaurants. Id been wanting to try it for such a long time!My husband and I had a date here the other night. We ordered the lobster bisque and were absolutely blown away. So good. The portions were generous and even the sides were spicy in the best way. Overall, dinner was delicious. I wish we could say the same for dessert.Word of caution: do not order the vegan strawberry cheesecake. I love vegan food and consider myself a bit adventurous and not very picky. My husband loves cheesecake. This one was pretty inedible though. We each took one bite and couldnt stomach the flan-like texture of the cheesecake that was also somehow super grainy at the same time. What was a little more disappointing was when we asked to return it or try a different dessert instead, they just told us they dont do that. Paid $8 for two (small) bites of cheesecake and our server didnt seem to care to make it better. The rest of the food was good enough that well probably be back. I was unimpressed by the service but our food came out on time and they checked on us enough that I cant complain. If we come back we might try a different dessert, or make plans to hit dairy queen on the way home for a sundae.
This place rocks! Great New Mexican food with vegan options, Great beer and cool LA speakeasy vibe! And theyre hiring!!! Seems like a really cool place to work too, the staff we encountered were awesome!
Great food, amazing beverages, and great service makes for a great night out. Lovecraft delivers all of those and then some. A place not to be missed.
Local eatery and tap house with a dim light vibe, eccentric looks, and amazing food. If you like spicy, they have something for you here! The staff here is AMAZING!
Great food & beer selection. The carne adovada is awesome.
It was my first visit here and I am so glad I stopped in to eat. Usually when I drive by it is packed. I had the chips and queso, as well as the pulled pork tacos. The food was delicious! I am normally one to try food and then have to salt it...but I didnt use a lick of salt here. What I did use was copious amounts of the red and green salsa mixed together...with the chips and queso...on the tacos...with the rice...so very good. I also appreciated the fact that the salsas came in capped bottles - a fantastic way to not be wasteful! Chris was my server and he was helpful, friendly and full of information. Eddie helped on a few drink refills and cashed me out. There was a super nice chick with awesome curly hair who refilled my drink a few times also. I will be sure to recommend Lovecraft and be back by for something new on another day!
The combination of smoked meat and Mexican food is great! Plus the added bonus of an amazing list of Beers on Tap and other great cocktails makes this place a favorite! They have specials for Friday and Saturday, with Lobster bisque, and Prime Rib! The prices are really reasonable and well worth it. The staff is very nice and helpful. Seating is first come first serve. We went there on a Saturday night and didnt have to wait long for seats, even though it was full of people. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes a good beer and some good times! Cheers!
I was there last night to watch the Suns game. The atmosphere was great the whole time. The food was great, and my server (Serenity) was amazing! Shes very professional and very welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be going back again! 😋
Food was excellent! And they have a great beer selection too! With a full bar and wine as well.
Just got back from Lovecraft and it was pretty tasty. The atmosphere was fun, live music and lively patrons, the drink selection was great, and nice to see lots of local beers on tap. I grabbed a green chili burrito and it was tasty. That green sauce was wicked good, spicy too. The filling in the burrito was also nice and tender. The beans were fine, but lacked flavor. They needed something more. The rice was pretty dry. The misses had the Mac and cheese topped with brisket. Brisket was so moist and tasted great but the Mac and cheese was meh. Flavor was good but it definitely was missing that sort of extreme cheese youd expect. The noodles werent dry, but it definitely didnt have the ooey gooey cheese Ive come to expect when getting Mac and cheese at places. I was with my in-laws who said the food is delicious and this wasnt the norm, so Id be willing to give it another go for sure. Fun place and they have a sweet rooftop patio that will be great when it cools down a little. Give them a try.
This place is a hiddem gem. Their food is amazing and they have a great rotating beer selection. Great atmosphere as well. I always recommend this place to others when they are looking to try new places. Check it out!
They had a tasty mead flight that I hadnt found many other places. The environment was ideal and they accommodated our group with no problem. Food was a nicer than normal bar food, and the dessert was worth squeezing it in. The beer selection was amazing as well, so many great options.
The atmosphere is quirky and cool, the service was great and the food was amazing. They have a nice vegan/vegetarian section! That’s whatTwo of us in my party ordered from and they were both delicious. We are the green chili Mac and cheese as an appetizer and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! My only issue is that they are so far from where I live. I’d love to see a west side location (near Arrowhead). I highly recommend this restaurant
Wow! Hot and spicy, but so much flavor.I love deep spice and if you can handle the Hatch and other peppers, you have to try this place.The special drink of the day was also very flavorful
Not impressed with the food at all. Some was too spicy to be edible. I wont be going back.
I tried this place for the first time and got pickup. Had a small issue with my order but the management fixed it immediately and I really appreciated it! The food tasted amazing and I will be back again!Also this place looks so fun to dine in at so, I would definitely recommend it for inside service!!
Great place with amazing food. Cant beat the chicken sliders on Sunday. Owners and staff are are always very welcoming.
There are so many great things about this place! The food is high quality New Mexican style cuisine. Its creative, fun, and delicious. And they have Plant-based Vegan options!!! The service is superb! Karen is beyond amazing! Ive never seen someone work so hard to make the customers experience beyond amazing. The decor, style, and feel of the place is classy but casual, hipster but neighborhood, and definitely eclectic and entertaining. Rebecca the owner has the magic touch in creating unique spaces and places that bring people together. I love this place and you will too!
Great neighborhood hangout. Food has flavor and a kick of spice. You know its good when the cilantro is fresh cut and you can taste it before biting into the meal. Its Tapas so was able to try most of the menu it was all very good but loved the pork street tacos the best! Beer selection is extensive and servers/bar tenders know their stuff. Service was great (expect to be there a while - its laid back), price was very reasonable. Overall this is a great place to unwind and enjoy good food beer and wine.
Great service. Good food. Chris recommended the burrito. Very good. I will be back to try the green chilli lobster bisque.
We had the Lobster Bisque with Green Chili. Corn Bread with Green Chili, & Salad with Cilantro Vinegarett. Fabulous flavors! Well be back for sure!
Great food!!! Be ready for the heat but it’s amazing. Service was also great
Fun place for a craft beer, tons to choose from. Interesting decor/vibe and soon an upstairs patio! Highly recommend for beer connoisseurs.
Great beer selection on tap. Knowable staff, wonderful smoked meats on menu, many other choices as well, definitely going back soon.
Love the beer selection here. Decor just throws me off a lil but thats on me. Friendly staff and heard the food is really good, hope to try it soon
Amazing food! Love the vibe of the place, too. Our server, Chris, was fantastic, and gave us a rundown of the menu, and was a huge help in our food decisions. My boyfriend is from Las Cruces, and was very impressed with the food/flavors. We will definitely be adding this place to our list of date night spots!
What a delightful time! Went for a free Mead tasting (Which was delicious: buy Superstition Mead), but also got a hearty lunch that was immensely satisfying. I went with a special, which was the prime rib sandwich. Supremely flavorful and filling. Good fries, too. Got a bottle of Mead to go. Id absolutely recommend the place!
A very interesting concept. Large plant based menu, and what we ordered was really good. We also order some of the BBQ briquet and it was excellent too. Large selection of beers on tap. They have a 5oz poor allowing for tasting of them.
Great smoked brisket and burgers and smoked bacon. Guacamole was fresh and drinks were reasonable price. Crowded, but will return.
If you dont like this place you need to get your head checked. 25 beautiful beers on tap, and enough canned goodies to never have the same drink twice! As for their food, holy freakin ballz!!! How they make everything so amazing is magic! I dont even care how carnivore you are, try the shrooms on something, youll absolutely freak over the flavors!!! Enjoy!
Pick-up order, first time. (Have not sat down).I devoured the Southwest Wedge, a $16 non-spicy smoked&pulled chicken salad w/ a few odds & ends that you can wrap up in each of the 5 or 6 iceburg leaves. I loved it, amazing idea. Also my 5 year old devoured her $6 kids burger & fries, as well as a few large leaves of my iceburg, but for whatever reason, she was unimpressed w/ the White Mac n Cheese ($9/pint). Oh well -- I enjoyed hers. Thanks for cooking!
Cool atmosphere. I think the chimichanga was fine, but I’ve had better.
Very fun place. Lots of good beverage selections. Food is phenomenal - Pay attention to the spicy notes on the menu! Staff was friendly. Bartender was a little standoffish. It was all very clean and well kept. The gentleman playing music for the night was fantastic and had a ton of great song choices!
I understand that everywhere is understaffed and struggling right now, but service should still be adequate and friendly. I asked for an actual menu for my mother in her 60s whose not tech friendly and in dim lighting, and the waitresses acted like it was huge burden to find one. Didnt take a drink order. When attempting to order was told we couldnt substitute fires for a salad as I have done on previous occasions. Our presence was a burder so we just left. Unfortunate because I had been talking this place up to my mother for a long time. The food is great, wine selection is great. Love the atmosphere. But I cant say Ill be back after being treated this way this time.
Cool atmosphere. Probably great for just drinks. Food was disappointing and their happy hour dip was a joke.
Super cool little bottle shop in old biker town. I thought it was going to have more of an H.P. Lovecraft theme going on, but it was more about the craft beer and food.Plenty of brews to choose from on tap, plus more in cans and bottles.Southwest style Mexican food was tasty and they didnt skimp on the heat.
Such an awesome eclectic spot which holds the dynamic ability to revitalize the corner of 32st and Cactus. The people who work here are always fun and prompt with their service. LoveCraft has an amazing list of 25 different craft beers, sours, and ciders to choose from, in addition to a full bar. The food menu is ridiculously good. Each of the plates served carries flavors that are true to LoveCraft. All of their meat is smoked in house and never disappoints. From BBQ sliders to New Mexico style cusine there is a flavor for everyone.Step away from the mundane standard cookie cutter corporate restaurants and experience what a real dining experience is like with this sweet spot in NE Phx. 🤙
Food was good after sending every plate back to get fixed. Menu descriptions did not accurately reflect what came out of the kitchen. While the BBQ tasted really good, they certainly did not provide much compared to the price. One meal came out too spicy for one of our party to eat, but the menu certainly made no mention of how hot it would be.Drinks were good and they had a lot of variety. A bit on the pricier side than the many other draft houses or breweries weve gone to. They didnt honor our pub passes in the way the pub pass was intended, instead giving us discounts ($2?) on beers rather than penny beers. They gave us samplers for a penny instead. Quite disappointing as the waitress told us the establishment was in the pub pass against their will so they had no obligation to honor it. However they certainly advertise the pub pass in the front window. Seemed quite hypocritical and very much bait and switch.Waitress was attentive and nice, even through the pub pass explanation. We felt quite rushed to leave, though, as she was bringing our check before we were even done with our drinks or our food. There were plenty of open tables, so not sure why there seemed to be an urgency to get our table to leave. This nature really reduced my comfort level for the place and doesnt make me want to go back.The music was too loud to carry on a conversation. Even trying to discuss the choices with the waitress everyone had to repeat themselves multiple times, yet the volume seemed to stay the same throughout the meal.
This is a great craft beer bar with a wide selection on tap. The food was excellent as well. And the venue is reasonably priced. Comfortable setting. Ill be back soon.
Great options for beer and mead. Plenty of options for food for both omnivores and vegetarians alike. Despite going on a busy Friday evening, service was very speedy.
Amazing Food!! The Vegan menu has great variety and is really really good. The atmosphere is so nice love the lighting and decor I can go on and on. You have to go! So happy to have such a great place in the area!! Thanks Lovecraft I will defiantly be back!!!
Awesome vibes/atmosphere, great craft beer selection (draft and canned), and all the food I tried was delicious. A friend and I shared chips and queso, stuffed jalapeños, and the prime rib dip sandwich. All were amazing! Cant wait to return and try some of the BBQ offerings.
I would recommend this place to anyone. Friendly staff with A plus service. Food was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Drinks for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely be back. Froze Rose had me at hello!
Great place to meet friends for happy hour or dinner. Comfortable seating with dark cozy atmosphere. Excellent food!!
Came for the beer, stayed for the food. Great atmosphere. Place was awesome. Highly recommend. Cant wait for the rooftop patio to open.
I came here last night to buy my father a birthday gift. They had a wide range of wines and beers to choose from. Andrew, their employee, was very helpful. He helped me chose whats best for my father. He was very knowledgeable and informative about wines and beers. They also sell here the yummiest macaroons! I loved them! Great place for wine lovers!
Miracle in my mouth every time. Alcohol selection and servers are spectacular as well.
Smoked meats, hatch green Chiles, craft beers. Great spot
Cool, Spicy & Eclectic. Good size portions. Beer, mead, wine full bar. Dont let the full parking lot scare ya.
Lots of good beers, amazing food with a huge plant based section, and some of the coolest staff this side of the Mississippi.
The food and drinks are amazing here. Check out the mead flight!
Fantastic job on this place. Great ambiance, great drinks.
Their super food salad is literally just 1/3 a bag of this cheap bag. It comes with a small ramekin of what seems to be shredded chicken from Cafe Rio. Their beef stew is basically a small cup of shredded beef - just by itself. They must have nice service and atmosphere, but the food is less than bare minimum.
The reason I didnt give 4 stars is because of the service. The food was amazing. The best prime rib i have ever had. The potatoes and asparagus were done perfectly. My wife had the brisket tacos they were awesome. Waiter could pay attention a little better but all in all it was a good experience.
Clean and well managed during Covid. Great atmosphere lots of drink choices. Food was excellent and we all had leftovers. Good prices too. Started to share with others who want a nice get-a-way to some place a little classier than a bar.
Cool place... great beer selection and we had some good apps!
Great selection of beer! Prices are a little steep in my opinion but Im stupidly frugal. I saw some of the food options and it looks great. It was a bit loud for my tastes but Im not necessarily the demographic theyre aiming towards.
Had a wonderful evening with my best friend here. Was incredibly impressed at the ambiance inside, from the outside you wouldnt know what to expect! Great food and a lot of delicious options, expansive drinks menu and lovely beers on tap as well as wine selection. Would definitely recommend visiting if youre looking for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks!
If a vampire had a favorite Mexican/American craft beer locale, this would be it. The enchiladas were bomb- Order em divorciados (both sauces) and you’ll find yourself pleasantly surprised with a kick that is hard to find in a place like this.
First time here, if this post doesnt make you wanna drop by, youre doing your life wrong.Green Chili stew (pictured), green chili mac and cheese, and Texas brisket sliders are good enough to make a grown man cry.Well definitely be back soon, Thanks for the Love!#ThatSemler #SupportLocal #SundayFunDay
In the last few months I have visited this little restaurant 4 times. I am not close by. I am over 40 minute away by car. But I will travel for Lovecraft every chance I get.We first visited for my husband and Is anniversary, I again visited for happy hour with friends, then a random Sunday afternoon, and recently for a pick up order for Fathers Day. Each time the restaurant was at a different level of business. But something notable was what never changed. And that was how friendly and kind the staff was, how delicious the food was, and how clean the restaurant is.I am a fan. That may actually be an understatement because if you talk to me about food I have recently eaten, I will tell you about everything I have eaten at Lovecraft with a crazed passion. I dream about the bacon wrapped jalapenos when I should be paying attention to zoom calls. I think about the perfect balance of creamy cheesiness and spicy green chiles in the green chile mac and cheese when I should be watching my step on the stairs. When I want a delightful sandwich, I immediately crave the the juicy prime rib sandwich and the crispy fries it comes with. I have also had the buttermilk fried chicken and the Chimichanga and I would tell you that regardless of what you choose off this menu, you will be happy. Not just happy but satisfied in a way most restaurants cannot even dream of.The staff is friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable. If you havent been to Lovecraft, do yourself a favor and go. Its delicious! You can truly feel the love and care that is placed into every decision made for this establishment.
Great food and beers. The chicken chimichangas were delicious with a bit of a kick. Pretty relaxing bar.
What a great Sunday afternoon find! We came for the free Superstition Meadery tasting and live music, but stayed for the great Sunday specials ($5 slushies, pints and wine!) and the incredible smoke-and-green-chile infused food options. Chips with green chile queso had just the right amount of kick and were served with two bottles of fresh, lightly fiery housemade salsa; the street tacos were stuffed with incredibly moist smoked meats (and one with mushroom, for a vegetarian option); and the special, a prime rib French dip, was a perfect marriage of tender prime rib, toasted ciabatta bread, and rich caramelized onions. While it was quiet when we first arrived around noon, it had already started filling in when we left two hours later. With so many varieties of craft beer and wine available (to drink and purchase), plus the fantastic food options and overall eclectic communal vibe (think antique velvet chairs alongside board games and ping pong), we only wish this spot were a bit closer to our home in the East valley so we could make visiting a regular affair.
Lovecraft is a funky place that feels like a fancy parlor from the 20s slinging tasty New Mexican fare, craft beers, and cocktails. Tonight was Tarot Card Tuesday...I would have stayed if I had notice, but it gives me a reason to go back soon.I had smoked chicken tacos, brisket, and white mac and cheese. All were delicious, and I look forward to green chili mac and cheese next time!
Amazing beer selection... Many beers from across the US. I didnt try the food but it looked really good.
What a breath of fresh air. Amazing food and beer selection. Green chili pork stew with a brisket bonus, egg option, and fresh hot tortillas. I really wanted a second order of bacon wrapped jalapeños, but I was motivated to try other things. Thanks Eddy. Service was fantastic. I didn’t know that great service still existed. Can’t wait to go back for more. :)
Great beer selection, food was decent but didnt blow us away. The selection was worth another shot! Mead flights!
Nice atmosphere, friendly waiter, good specialty drinks, and good food.
