The Whining Pig is a buried treasure for an enjoyable experience of wine, beer and a pleasant overall atmosphere...The staff is genuine, competent, attentive, and friendly.What a great combination!!I almost regret writing such a positive review because I dont want everybody to invade this gem of a watering-hole.The beer and wine selections are second to none in this local area.They consistently nail their sourcing of the highest quality selections of brews and wines.The board is awesome and changes nearly daily.Well done guys.
It was a first time here. The ambiance needed something. It was too quiet or lights were too high. We couldnt figure it out. They have an amazing draft beer selection though!
I found this place tonight, and I’m so glad I did! So much beer and wine to choose from and the bartender helped me pick out a great beer. Bartender (totally forgot her name) was happy and knowledgeable. Love this place already!
Had some great beer here on an uncrowded Saturday afternoon. Perfect place to unwind with a friend or just on your own. I was unsure of what to try, so I really appreciated the samples. The bartender was brilliant--didnt tell me the names of the brews so that I could just judge and decide by taste alone, not name or fame. Loved it. Ill be back again, soon.
Fantasitc bar that maintains that same friendly atmosphere as the others. Come in to their rotating taps (a total of 39!), wide selection of wines, and even larger selection of canned beer that you can take to go! Even better, they’re capable of filling your growler with your favorite beer (again, I will emphasize YOUR GROWLER - they do not sell growlers).Not to mention the atmosphere is always awesome, and better yet, their music selection is impeccable! Music is per bartender and they have great taste! So come in, kick back, and enjoy a few here in what I’ve grown accustomed to calling my “pig pen!”
Huge selection of drinks. Knowledgeable staff. Fantastic drink selection. Great happy hour prices. 5 craft beers for a total of $22 is really good on my last visit. I have been there twice now and staff seems really friendly with some guests, thought not so much with us. Was overcharged. Charged $29 on a $22 tab. Staff corrected quickly.
Bartender was nowhere to be found. When she finally came to serve me, she threw the saddest splash of sangria in a mason jar and left the bar again. Downtown location is much better.
Great Beer choices. They have so many to choose from you cant go wrong. They are very knowledgeable about what they offer so you can tell them what you like in a beer and they can point you in the right direction. They dont offer food, but you can bring your own or have it delivered. Native New Yorker is next door and theyll bring it your food order over to you.
Great selection of beer and hard ciders along with fun games.
No sign above the door yet, this place is pretty new, they are next door to Native.Loved this place! Great grilled cheese sandwiches, the cheese platter looked amazing Ill order that next time. I love the options!39 taps, 130 bottles & cans, plus 40 wine and mead options.Wonderful service! Its the kinda pub you wanna be a regular at ;)
A great bar with an incredible selection, both for draft and bottled beverages. Dont come for cocktails or hard liquor, but do come for beer, cider, wine and even a selection of Superstition mead.Happy hour is basically all the time (1-8). There are games available for play (Battleship and Yahtzee over pints, anyone?). The aesthetic and atmosphere are great, and there is a selection on grilled cheese sandwiches available if you get peckish.If youre having a hard time choosing what to drink, you can look to the specials - barkeeps choice deals for beer and wine are available, as are flights.
Great beer! I love Thursdays. The bartender plays country music! Keep it up!!
Its was the first time going and the bartender gave me different taste options, which was amazing. I forgot her name but she was an amazing bartender. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.
Good variety of beer and wine, and great happy hour specials
Always a great experience. Great service and drinks. Thank you.
Great service. The best selection. New favorite for sure.
Decent selection of beers but not the greatest service
Had heard good things about this place and enjoyed our short visit. Great hh deals lots of beer and wine choices, and relaxed atmosphere.
Awesome beer selection! Bartender was engageing and fun. Will definately be back again!
Not really much In the food area but more for craft beers to enjoy before going next door to Native for a Burger. I liked the IPA called Church Music by The Shop. Good one for newbies in the IPA area of taste. Good flights for testing out new flavors :-)
Best place in Ahwatukee/chandler area for craft beer.
One of my favorite places to grab a beer! Always great service
Hangover burger my brother ate. He said it was delicious.
Great drink selection!
Great place for hardware products
No pigs. I was very disappointed. But the beer selection and happy hour specials are excellent!! Super chill beer and wine house with excellent variety.
Love this place! Very good at distancing, being mindful of covid precautions and all while still being fantastic. Great service, food and obviously beer.
Fun bar! Will be back, everybody is so nice.
Amazing drink selection! We are definitely coming back here again!
It was actually next door at Native that we had wings and cheese sticks
Cool place. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with the variety of beverages available on tap, in bottles and canned. They have bar snacks, ex. chips, and you might get a grilled cheese but you can also bring in your own food. Plus, they have have a fridge with a selection you can take home with you (at a price, of course). Enjoy!
Amazing beers great quiet atmosphere
Bartender was great at suggesting a good beer. Great staff and very good selection of beer and wine. I did not notice if they had any gluten free beer. I have friends that would join me, if that is part of the selection
Pretty good place. Crazy amount of different beers. Service was a bit off but they recently opened back up so they get a pass.
To the gentleman that sat next to us and told me and my fiance to get the meat and cheese platter thank you for paying for us. I walked outside and seen you on your motorcycle as I was getting into my ram and waved. I also foward the gift and paid for a couple sitting in the back! Again thank you so much! We need more kind people like yourself.Now the review! This place is awesome, the bartender was amazing and the food was great. It was such a laid back atmosphere and we will definitely be back! 08/25/19
Beers and wine! A nice selection of different kinds and types. Food wise, your best bet is ordering grub hub or picking up at Native. Friendly staff and relaxed environment. Cant wait to go back!!
Excellent large beer selection. Wines as well, I may try those next time. Bartenders were helpful in picking.
The bartenders and staff here are very knowledgeable about their beer lists, and what to recommend. Theyre constantly getting new inventory and new beers on tap and in their take-out fridge.The wine and beer list is long, but easily decipherable with the help of the color-coded key at the top. What they lack in a lot of food they make up for with DELICIOUS grilled cheese and bar snacks, and if youre interested theres a variety of board games that you can play while enjoying good beer and company.
Its a local joint. Ages 25 to 40. No food but nice selection of beers.
Great bar with no Sports TVs - at last. A place where you can drink great ales and hang out with the friendly crowd - they also have board games that you can play. Fun place! We dont need any more sports bars in the area with loud TVs and no one socializing! They have a small menu but also allow you to bring food from the bar next door. Nice :)
Nice place, cant judge the food as i was in a rush for a quick drink.
No outdoor seating during covid so Im giving one star for not giving people an option like native wings next door which we decided to patronize because they did have outdoor seating. Fix and Ill update my rating.
Service was great
This place is like a beer drinkers Paradise. The amount of beers they serve is ridiculous. Its very small and can be tough to find a seat when busy but if you go at the right time its perfect. They have tons of board/card games and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. At times it can be hard to read the beer names on the wall, because there are so many, maybe they can create a website menu where customers can look on their phone? Great place for beer!
Great bar, knowledgeable bartender (Justin) and great environment!
Quaint neighborhood style bar, a list of craft beers on tap and in cans/bottles you wont find anywhere else. A bunch of board/card games to play while enjoying a few drinks
Good place to drink. Great selection of beer. Food is lackluster, but they encourage you to bring in your own.
HUGE selection of craft beers. My wife and I loved it. Really friendly bartenders. Cute spot to hang out and grab a drink with friends
If you cant find a beer you like here your doing something wrong and should change course immediately. Exceptional beer selection. Got here shortly after open and was the only one in the bar. Good music playing and great little spot. All sorts of games to play with if thats your thing.
Great selection of drinks !!! I like to grab a drink here before getting wings next door ! They have an amazing beer selection and you can get a flight which is the way to go !!
Really cool place and TONS of beers. Selection is very wide. Its a bit loud and though they have quite a few boardgames, theres really not much room to play. So long as youre not looking for a chill boardgame night at a quiet pub youre definitely going to enjoy yourself here.
Cozy taphouse with a fantastic selection of brews on draft. They have cans/bottles as well as wine and mead. Friendly, attentive staff and good atmosphere.
Good drink selection.. the bartenders are very helpful.. love it
Me and a few of my friends from work have been coming here for about a year. The atmosphere is outstanding the employees are supper friendly, and the beer selection Is ever changing. You can always look forward to trying something new.
Great beer selection, friendly & helpful staff. Ill definitely go back soon.
If there was a bar that served nothing but Natty Ice and Coleen was the bartender that bar would be my regular. Whining Pig has everything I want from my neighborhood spot, but its Coleen what brings me back. Funnest tender in the West. If she goes we all go
I came in late on a Friday, and as expected the bar was pretty full. But I found a spot and started checking out the beer menu which is on the wall and is varied and expansive. In the mood for a cider, the bartender Brian said they had a passion fruit cider from a local brewery on tap! I love when a place will steer me towards a local brew rather than just popping open a bottled macro. The scene here is friendly and open. The penny covered bar runs the entire length of the space and a wall mounted bar adds a more compact seating choice. Analog bar games include trivial pursuit, cards against humanity, scene it, random action figures, rubic cubes, etc.I ordered the first menus item, since there are only 6 items, I fugure I’ll just work my way down the wall each time I come back. The ❤️ Is a grilled cheese sandwich made of fig spread, prosciutto and goat cheese. Awesome sandwich that was a little reminiscent of a fruit pie. Potato chips and a big deli pickle rounded out the $6 meal. Well worth it!I’ll be back. The service was attentive, the food was well prepared, and the beer was cold. What else could you ask for?!?
Loved this place. First time here. Had an amazing Porter, worked a Magic Cube and did trivia while enjoying the excellent company of my friends.
Love the selection of wines and beers and light appetizers to go with it. Friendly staff and awesome customers as well, got to meet some awesome new people and got into a good conversation ❤️ probably my new favorite place to hang out at after a good movie.
Enormous selection. Board games and Etch-a-sketch are fun distractions. Cozy feel. Service was fine. Only had one drink with a friend this last time.
The bartender was great. Had lots of beers but the layout and menu placement are not convenient or comfortable.
Quiet, little craft beer and wine bar tucked into the shopping center. Great selection of beers on top - both local and regional.
Fun 1970s games to play while your hanging out. Great selection of beers.
Great, drinks, and snacks. Perfect for a casual date night or meeting with friends. We will be coming back again?
No Ahwatukee pretentiousness not that thats even a thing. Just a place to grab a cold one and a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Charcuterie plate pleases this meat eating cat!
Very laid back, cool spot to go if you like craft brews! Super impressed by their selection of beers, wine and ciders. 🍺🍷
Colleen is amazing at recommending beers, would not know what I would do without her.
Full of Beers. Very friendly staff and cool place to hang. Menu works with the great beer and wine choices.
New Whining Pig is a mark of consistency if nothing else. The concept is a small bar with a big selection of draft beer, cans, bottles, wines and mead, with a small but good menu of grilled cheeses and other bites, and the new location feels as if theyve been there for a while already. It is usually very loud and crowded, so be aware if going with a large group during peak hours.
Very comfortable. Lots of different beers. Very good service.
Amazing beer and wine selections, games and great staff!!! We will be back!Thanks
Easy, laid back place. Staff is very friendly. Give it a try
Fun wine and beer bar with lots of board and card games to play. Bonus, their Happy Hour goes till 8pm!!
Best bar. Awesome beer, can draw on walls. Awesome bartenders too, very comfortable and trendy cool.
Great atmosphere, kind bartenders, and a plethora of fun little games to play. Great for a first date, or after 5 years together.
Absolutely love this place. So many craft beers the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Glad to see a place like this in the ahwatukee area we needed it.
Great selection of draft beers. I love sours and porters and I tried 6 and only starched the menu!
It was real nice...Great selection of beers...tasty food and games...checkers...backgammon...just a relaxing place. 4 beers a cheese and meat plate=$30...We will be back.
Great bar!
So much fun! Great vibe and excellent happy hour. Lots of games to choose from.
I love this place soo much. happy hour is 1pm to 8pm.
Amazing beer selection. Super knowledgeable bar tender
Great place and atmosphere. Great choices to choose from.
Lots of craft beer to select from. Relaxed environment great for a small group gathering.
Great selection of beers and great staff! Good atmosphere!
My new favorite bar. They have more happy hours than non-happy hours!
Low key, vast beer selection, fun games, bartenders choice is always a win.
Great place nice Atmosphere good and lots of beer choices.
Suprise!Didnt even know they served food here!An assortment of upscale grilled cheese sandos and a meat and cheese platter. Who knew??!!Will need some munchies just to get thru their massive selection of micro brews. Place was jumping there last night.Good blend of people, 21 yrs old on up. Im more of the on up side of the scale and truly enjoyed my visit last night.
Greatest place to hang out in the tuk
Chill atmosphere, extensive beer list, friendly staff.
Collin always does a great job suggesting beers! Keep up the great customer service!
