Fate Brewing Company

My husband and I were here last weekend. He ordered a burger and I ordered a salad. After a few bites I noticed a large bug in my salad. I alerted the bartender (we were at the bar) and she grabbed my plate and tossed it and started to put in another order. I told her I definitely did not want another salad and that I just wanted it taken off of our bill, which she did. We told the manager what happened as he passed by the bar and he literally said, «yeah I heard there was a bug in your salad» … and he walked away.
I know stuff happens, I wasn’t upset, but I thought it was handled really poorly. No offer to buy a round of beers or anything. They just closed us out as if nothing had happened. We decided after that we wouldn’t be back. There are too many other great places and the service here is not great.

I have only had food here maybe once or twice and it was good. I’ve mainly drank here and Fate aka Mcfate has great beers! Glad the lawsuit is behind them now. I will continue to support a great local brewery.

I really love this place! Awesome food and fun atmosphere. We have tried the pretzels & cheese, hummus appetizer, guacamole appetizer, and a few pizzas. All the pizzas tasty. My favorite was the bacon, spinach, & ricotta pizza.
They always have an awesome selection of local & Fate beer which fun to try. My only suggestion is that they need to get more than one set of bean bags for corn hole. There was a wait because they only had one set on hand.

I’m learning my beer palate isn’t quite up to or with my wine, cocktail and food palate. I have a hard time telling why good beer and bad beer is. Most of its preference to me at this point.
With that being said we came here on Memorial Day and it was surprisingly slow. I felt that last year the restaurant/​bar world was busier on this weekend. I’m guessing it’s because school has been out for a couple weeks now and people have finally left the valley. But score for us. Great friendly service, ample room for the kiddo to run around and explore. Their are cornhole bags and a beautiful outside bar. The inside was slightly busier with a beautiful view of their brewing facility.
Had the most popular ipa, the hef, a pale ale and a porter. All were solid choices. Served I. Proper glassware and complimented by fatness of quest, guac, garlic burger and snacks of my partners plate. The kiddo nibbled here and there. The salsa had a bit of chipotle and was a nice change and compliment with the ipa to start off with.
I’m saying, come here. Enjoy yourself and have a good time.

Great beer! Amazing selection of their own beer! The Irish red and the Cuppa Jose was amazing! The Cuppa Jose was amazing!!! Like one of the best I have had! I ordered fries for a light snack and they brought it out in literally a minute and they were perfect! definitely will be back to try the pizza and burgers! They sound and look amazing!

I don’t know if it’s me… But it seems like everyone is now obsessed with craft beers. My coworker and I decided to choose this place for dinner after a long day of work. He raved a lot about this spot and said they had some great bites and amazing beers. I’m not a beer connoisseur, so I really didn’t have my mind set on drinking as much as I cared about eating some good food. Everything on the menu looked appealing, to the point where I had a hard time making a solid choice. They have standard bar food like: your burgers/​sandwiches, salads, nachos, tacos and pizzas. With the help of my waitress, I decided to try their hot sausage pizza. It was definitely hot in temperature, but not in flavor or spice. I was a little disappointed because it was not what I expected it to be. The pizza looked delicious, but tasted very bland. I honestly think I just ordered the wrong thing. I try not to order Italian food if I’m not at an Italian restaurant… You know? It’s just not right lol but I’m open to exploring the restaurant a little more, it was such a nice venue with awesome hospitality!

I got a fire burger, Moscow mule and fries…
The place was clean, atmosphere was inside was casual and inviting. The outside uses re purposed wood and creative ideas to incorporate the garden of phoenix into the patio.
Onto the food. The burger was exactly what I wanted — medium, spicy, full of flavor, bun was soft and moist. The fries were like McDonald size cut but fresh. The Moscow Mule was a ⁹⁄₁₀. Overall. I couldn’t complain as everything was top notch for me and had a great experience dining there.

As a casual bar, this place is great with its nice patio, industrial seating, open main room, and lots of beer options on chalkboards on the wall. As a restaurant, the food is seriously mediocre and a bit overpriced. $ 8 guacamole and chips is a sad, sad itty bitty bowl of one mashed avocado. I decided to try the weirdest item on the menu, a pizza with roasted grapes, goat cheese and basalmic glaze. The toppings were odd and kinda worked, but mostly the thin crust pizza was burnt to hell and back on the bottom. So, go for a couple beers and sit on the patio. Be prepared for the smallest serving only guac ever (if you drop a scoop on a chip, it’s like losing $ 0.50), and perhaps skip the grape pizza.

Stop at any time for great craft beer and good food!
I like Place with open space. Today I’m enjoying breezy beautiful weather at patio for lunch! Ah I enjoy life…

The first time I heard of Fate Brewery was maybe a year ago. Then I was introduced to Fate by some co-​workers one day for lunch. Today, we were back for lunch and I realized how foolish I’ve been in neglecting (my) Fate.
I am speaking of the newer, southern location which opened last fall on Scottsdale Road just south of McDowell. Fate is the closest brewery to my home and I’m okay with that. Because of the handful of beers I’ve sampled, I am eager to bring friends along to try the others.
It looks as if the menu has been updated or expanded. My co-​workers didn’t remember having as many options from previous visits. Plus, the number of beer options has grown and changed (seasonally) which is always a good sign. Personally, I love seeing a brewery that also has a decent sampling of the competition. It’s another beer celebration! And it shows the brewers confidence.
The only reason I didn’t give Fate five stars, is due to my limited lunch visits. The food is so much better than common bar fare. My Fate Burger was simply amazing! However, lunch isn’t the best way to judge a brewery for its atmosphere. I shall have to return one evening for a proper sampling of the beers I didn’t get to try at lunch.
«It’s in your hands» (says the bright red truck outside). Right now, I want a glass of Double Oat IPA in my hands! Salud!

I like this spot!
The food is great, everything I have tried showed care and great effort.
The beer brewed here is amazing and there is a great selection.
It is not the cheapest spot in town, but prices are fare.
I’m not a regular, and there are plenty, but service is always great, no matter who you know.
It’s a beautiful compound and well maintained.
It’s defiantly worth the stop, grab a few pints or goblets and a bite, all are yummy!

As big a fan of the original Fate North location as I am, I knew I’d enjoy my experience at the new Fate South. But I didn’t know I’d LOVE it as much as I do.
The space is HUGE, spacious and beautiful. You can walk in through the front, or, you’re even invited to pass the barrel room and the brewing space by coming in the side door. I love to walk that route and see what the awesome brewer is cooking up next for us :)
Fate’s owner Steve is a huge supporter of the craft beer scene here in the valley so its no surprise that they were recently named one of the best beer bars in America. As a result, Fate threw a fan appreciation event on Saturday, which was my most recent (of many) visits here. Even though the place was packed with wall to wall folks and standing-​room only, the staff was all smiles and was working quickly and diligently to keep the beer flowing and the bellies full. They really did a great job and I know my friends and I loved trying so many of their offerings for only $ 3 on that day.
The menu is awesome here, a full kitchen offers more variety but also more chances to miss the mark — Fate South does not make that mistake though. I usually get one of their awesome salads or the chicken sandwich. But if you really want a treat, go for the pretzels and beer cheese. This is the kind of warm, salty, butter goodness that cheat days were created for! Hop you enjoy Fate as much as I do, and check out the North location and their awesome pizzas!

This place has been open for a few months now and seems to be doing really well. They just won an award for the best beer bar in Arizona.
Fate always has an extensive list of their own beers on tap along with a few guest handles. I really like their Fate-​ality and Double Oatmeal IPAs.
The food is just OK and my favorites are the chicken wings and the beer battered chicken appetizers.
They have a nice front patio and large indoor/​outdoor bar with plenty of TVs.
Service has always been great at the bar especially from Eddie and Sean.

More attentive bartenders and better food would improve this place. Great layout and outside seating areas. We ate at the bar. I wanted to taste their Dragon IPA that they brag about but they were out of it. I had a burger and my GF had a salad that was screwed up 10 ways from sunday. Way to impress the ladies Fate! Really, a salad? Had to send back for the goat cheese and all three cranberry’s were accompanied by 2 nuts. Such a bargain at 10 bucks!
I would go back. I probably would have the pizza as we stay beside some folks having that and it looked great!

Fate Brewery was one of my MUST SEE breweries that I had to go to while in Scottsdale, and I was not disappointed!
First off get a tester, don’t think you can finish all of the tastes? Who cares it’s 10 $ do it! You have to try all of them even if you think you aren’t going to like them, you won’t find these sort of flavors anywhere else!
Secondly, I may have just gotten a Cesar salad but omg it was so good. You can taste the freshness in their house Cesar, and even the freshness of the chicken I added to it.
There was a long wait when I was here about 7pm on a Friday night, but there was plenty of room at the bar, plus it was a great place to make new friends since I am not from the area. Which is always a plus.
So go here! Do it!

Not super impressed. Was very excited to try this place out, atmosphere is excellent, service was excellent, food is mediocre, beer is mediocre. They have the styles of beer I like but they just aren’t that great, and they are sort of expensive @ 5 bucks a pint also they do not have pitchers:(. The food was trying too hard to be fancy and I didn’t care for it, had some fancy pizza thing and it wasn’t really that great.
Three stars, I’ll give it a shot again, maybe try something else on the menu.

Cool place — friendly staff — good server — good local beer selection (Fate and other local brews).
The pretzel appetizer was really good — the crust was just the right amount of toughness — the inside soft — good flavor. Both the beer/​cheese and the spicy mustard dipping sauces were good.
Ordered the Fire Burger — meh. First of all — it’s a ‘smashed’ burger, which apparently means it can only be cooked to within an inch of its life (well done) — ruins the taste of the beef. (I tried to order it medium rare — no go). The jalapeños were the only taste beside the onion and salt. Kind of like a Five Guys burger, only less so. Sweet potato fries were good.
It’d be at least 4 stars if not for the disappointment that was called «Fire Burger».
Might try it again and order something else?

A buddy and I were driving through Scottsdale after the usual Sunday morning hike and were originally planning on stopping at Papago but found we were an hour too early. We were driving down Scottsdale Rd and ran into Fate. They have an excellent assortment of house beers and guest beers from breweries ranging from California to Michigan. My personal favorite is their Fate-​ality IPA, whose hoppy strength rivals that of the SD IPAs I’ve been accustomed to. Their pita & hummus dish is also a pretty good pairing with a beer flight.
So aside from the beer, food and location, the reason for 5 stars? MUSIC CHOICE! They had reggae playing the entire time which is a rare experience at an AZ brewery! Had me feeling totally at home being from So Cal. I can’t wait to return and try more of their beer in such a nice ambience!

LOVE! I’ve been meaning to go here since I drove by one time so finally my boyfriend & I rode our bikes here & it did not disappoint. The patio was super cute & there were a bunch of people on it (I saw some corn hole too). We sat inside which wasn’t as crowded (it was a really nice day out). We got a flight of 6 beers & then got one other — my rankings from favorite to least favorite:
1) American Pale Ale (I’m a pale ale girl!)
2) The Thames They Are A Changing
3) S.P.A. 2.0
4) Fate-​Ality! IPA
5) Red Hop
6) Oh My Gatos! Golden Ale
7) Hatch Chile Cream Ale (pretty good but couldn’t drink a lot of it)
We also got the spinach dip — SO good. Service was great. Would definitely come back!

In a land of aspiring craft brewers, McFate has the recipe to success down pat. I was so happy that a second location opened up. This location has a more comprehensive menu than Fate North on Shea.
I’ve had almost every beer on the menu and they are all fantastic! My favorites include the shift pint, candy bar stout, double oatmeal IPA, and fatality. It does rotate so your options can change daily.
The food is fantastic! I often order the Pablo Honey with no meat. I crave this pizza. After a long road trip my boyfriend and I find ourselves grabbing one to go on our way home. There’s nothing like it anywhere!
Another item I’ve chosen was the fish sandwich. It’s perfect. Two fish sticks on a light bun. It’s not as greasy as most fish sandwiches. Totally hits the spot. Their sides include cottage cheese (personal favorite — I was excited to see this!), sweet potato fries (addicting), tater tots (yes please), a side salad (it’s quite large for a side), and regular julienned-​style fries.
They have a veggie burger and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Don’t forget to try the desserts! I hope they cater weddings because their desserts are one of a kind.
The service is excellent. The manager, Brandon, always greets us as if we lived there… which we kind of do? But that’s a story for another time. He’s great! He knows his beer.
Definitely a place to catch the game and enjoy quality food. I love Fate!
