Pedal Haus Brewery

This place is so cute. Good food and good beer but THE SERVICE SUUUUUCKS SO BAD. Want water for the table? Too bad. Want change? Too bad. Want your food quickly? TOO BAD. Hannah was our server. Awful. Just awful.

Went to Pedal House for the first time last night and I am a fan! We were there for happy hour which runs from 3PM — 6PM Monday — Friday (check-​in on Facebook for an additional half hour — score!). My husband and I split three appetizers which were each $ 2 off (beer is also $ 2 off for happy hour). We ordered the fried cheese curds (you MUST get these — omg), the soft pretzel (deliciously salty) and the buffalo wings (also great). I had the IPA which I will definitely get again the next time we go back. It wasn’t overbearingly hoppy to me and smooth for an IPA. My husband also got the Big Boots which he enjoyed. The color has a pink hue to it which I’ve never seen before. Pretty cool. I tried it and was expecting it to taste more sour since it’s classified that way. So if you don’t traditionally like sour beers you may still enjoy this one. Really looking forward to going back and trying more of their great in-​house (or should I say «in-​haus» ;)) brewed beer and yummy food.

Atmosphere is VERY cool! Love the patio architecture.
Beers they offer are nice too! Not a fan of the food overall. Just average at best! But, not a bad place to hang and have a few beers.

Love this place. Best patio with afternoon shade. Beers are awesome.
Tyler the bar manager is super friendly — one of best I’ve seen behind a bar.

First off… what cool looking place. Hands down the most beautiful in downtown Tempe.
I’m totally coming back here to day drink.
2^nd…Beer is legit. I had a couple IPA’s that were on the menu.
Apps…had the cheese curds… THE BOMB
Lastly the food. Mom said the cheese burger was great. She usually only eats half, then takes the other half home… she killed it. I had the cuban, the recommendation from the waitress… it was ok. I wasn’t wow’d. I will totally be back!!!

DRINK REVIEW ONLY. FYI, if you check in on Facebook, you get an extra 30 minutes of happy hour. Woo!
We went for drinks at happy hours (3−6pm weekdays) on a Friday and the place was completely packed. They have an incredible outdoor space complete with a of couple corn hole sets. A great option for hanging out with coworkers or friends after work.
I had the Farmhouse Ale and the
Koffee Kölsch.
The Farmhouse Ale was light and smooth. It touts an impressive ABV at 10%. For a $ 4 happy hour price, you can’t go wrong.
The real highlight was the Koffee Kölsch. Holy smokes. It was SO good. The smell was incredibly enticing and aromatic. Sometimes that’s where the flavor profile ends, but not with this beer. The coffee flavor was near exquisite. I wish I had gotten two of these! I’ll definitely be looking for it in stores, because OH MY GOD IT’S SO GOOD.

Great bar awesome beer and yummy food.
Sat at the bar and enjoyed great service and one of the best burgers I’ve had in years. Beer was perfect. I will be back!

3 facts about my experience at Pedal Haus
1.) I sent back my salad because I didn’t like it
2.) the manager literally totally me to «go fuck myself» (the bald guy)
3.) they charged my card, but I paid in cash.

First off this is a beautiful space! It’s large and spacious, has two bars, and a huge outdoor patio!
Service could be better as at times the BT’s seem to forget about you, but not horribly so!
I did not eat here so I cannot speak for the food, but it looked good coming out of the kitchen!
As for the beers I tried all 13 and I will say they are all well made and pretty true to style!
The chili beer, the maple milk stout, and the dortmunder were standouts! The IPA was good as well!
I highly recommend this place, great atmosphere, awesome location, and solid beer!

Pedal Haus Brewery is superb! The service is out of this world! The owner named Julian even serves you at the table. He is by far the nicest man. My waitress was really sweet too and always made sure we were doing okay with drinks, etc. you have to try the mussels. The broth is made in a wine sauce to die for. Also what’s popular is the smoked dates. The flavor with sweet and smokey compliments each other. I tend to only eat aro laces where the service is impeccable, and the food is fresh.

I’ve been here twice and I can’t think of anything negative. The first time was with 3 coworkers and one of the guys and I shared our lunch so we could try a couple of things. We went halvsies on the BMLT and the green chile burger. Both were very nicely done. They actually cooked the burger medium rare and it was a great burger with lots of flavor with fresh ingredients. As good as the burger was, the BMLT outshone it for sure. I love the twist on a BLT by using fresh mozzarella and pesto. That sandwich was fantastic, and I’m really surprised I didn’t get it again the 2^nd time I was there.
One of my coworkers had wings and the other had a chicken sandwich. Both of them really enjoyed their food as well. The house made chips were a nice touch too. On that visit Kayla took great care of us and was friendly and efficient with refills, and had no problem handling separate checks.
Their beer selection looked interesting when I was there the first time, but since it’s frowned upon to drink during working hours, I returned the following Saturday with my husband so we could have some beer and enjoy the patio.
On that visit we tried a beer sampler and ate the Cubano and chicken pot pie. I have to admit I think I gave him one teeny bite of my pot pie, but kept the rest all to myself. They’ve got a great recipe and it was perfect comfort food for what turned out to be kind of a chilly afternoon outside. He really enjoyed the Cubano, and the beers were good as well. The standouts for us were the Dubbel and the Marzen, but we didn’t taste a bad one in the bunch. As an app we tried the pretzel and that was perfect and lasted about 10 seconds! On that visit Alena was our server and she did a great job even though they were fairly busy. Whoever designed the place did an excellent job. Like I said, I have no complaints and look forward to a return visit.

I sat at the bar closest to the main entry. I was able to quickly place my order, but prior to receiving my Kolsch the bartender asked for a card to hold and before even waiting for a response he was off. When I received my beer is was asked again for a card, but once again he left before I could respond. My beer was at least 1 1/​8″ below full upon arrival. At first I thought ok maybe they serve all of their beers not quite full, but then the person three bar stools to my right got a completely full beer. A short time later my side arrived (Brussels and Bacon) and for a third time I was asked for a card at which time I held up my $ 20 since I intended to pay with cash. The bartender took my cash and vanished yet again returning with a cash drawer to add to his register. While he was gone I experienced very over cooked mildly burnt dry Brussels and almost no bacon or bacon flavor. The bartender then returned with my change (He gave me two 5’s and a single) 11 bucks change from a twenty and dropped of the receipt which showed a total including tax of $ 10.81, so I did a double take and discovered I was undercharged. I got his attention and showed him the receipt and the change; he thanked me for being honest and pointing it out. He disappears again to get the «right change» only to return with a five spot and four singles I know it’s only .19 but damn get it right. Long story short the BEER was descent the FOOD was horrible and be prepared to give them a card or cash right away. If you do pay in cash don’t expect the change to be correct.

11AM Monday morning and about time for a beer or two. Being a Kolsch and coffee fan I’m down with trying the Koffee Kolsch from Huss really interesting aroma coffee notes finishes clean. Next up wanted to try a Nitro beer and the Maple Milk stout was way too sweet, sure you can use adjuncts like maple syrup and milk sugar shouldn’t it ferment out a little more and not overpower the beer? Here is where the 5 star comes in the barkeeps suggests another nitro and the Firestone Walker Velvet Merlin is like perfection in a glass some sweetness finishes smooth tight creamy head.
Didn’t stick around long enough for the Gemultlichkeit to kick in.

I came here for lunch around 12:30pm on a weekday with some of the people in my department. It wasn’t packed at all. Albeit, the place is huge, but there were probably only five or tables that were filled.
I ordered the Green Chili Burger [$ 13], and we shared the Pub Deviled Eggs [$ 6]. The burger was pretty good; the meat was juicy and the bread was nice and big. I asked for the haus slaw. For the price, it’s probably smaller than what it was worth. The location is nice, and I love the décor (the whole bicycle theme going on). The deviled eggs were deviled eggs, nothing different from what you probably had at a friend’s house.
The service was spectacularly slow. The food was good, nothing too special, but had everything else been going right, then I wouldn’t mind going to Pedal Haus to meet with friends and have grub here. However, the waitress who was assigned to our table was so busy with the other restaurant goers that we remained forgotten for the most part. The place wasn’t that busy either, so I’m not sure what was going on.
In conclusion, if a friend suggests this place, okay, I’ll go, but I don’t see myself actively seeking this place out to have lunch.

Oh man I wanted to love this place but ended up with the worst case of food poisoning in my natural born life on Easter Sunday 2016.
I give two stars for the atmosphere; this is a really cool space with a fantastic patio that could accommodate large parties and maybe even a wedding reception. It’s kind of like The Yard in that it has games like cornhole and other outdoor games for guests to enjoy.
The service is alright-​nothing great, nothing bad. They validate for parking in the Hanover garage NOT the garage directly behind the restaurant, not sure why since that one is closer.
Food wise the cheese curds and wings are top notch and if I had any plans to go back I would get those again. I got food poisoning from their fried chicken dish, specifically either the corn or Brussels that came as a side (boyfriend had a bite of my chicken and was not praying for sweet death, hours later).
It would take some time before I was ready to come back here for anything besides atmosphere and drinks.

I felt like a turkey when I walked in cause I did not know this was a Brewery. I had the PedalHaus Dubbel, which was remarkably balanced and smooth… like dangerously smooth! I paired it with the Mac n cheese, which was so creamy I wanted to dance the night away with it.
The layout is fantastically huge! I love the patio and look forward to returning with my cycling buddies for our bike and beer rides. The staff was very attentive and nice. I give it a 4 because the burgers will determine if I raise it to a 5. But the Poutine my friend let me grab a bite of was out of this world! The flavor profiles for the items were on point! Plus they have an open kitchen, which I love, love, LOVE!!!

Ok Ok I finally made it back to Pedal Hause!
On my last review I exclaimed it Haus to get better… It did
It was happy hour just prior to a movie and then just after, so that says a lot. On my original visit I never looked back. On my last visit I made a bee-​line to get back!
As reviewed the place is massive and gleaming, it’s a beautifully designed place from front door to back patio and in-​between.
After tasting the Hause Brews I’m hooked, Its a wonderful selection from top to bottom. Only one other brewery has it covered this well. (I wont say who, but it’s not 4pks) I especially like the Belgian Dubble, It’s Marvelous it really is!!!
Service was great but not personal, she served us and left us alone. Our tender did ask about our day and that’s important from a happy hour bartender.
No food was ordered but after perusing the menu I will be back. I did notice the burgers started at $ 13.00 ea so that set the tone, but the mussels look good, and I almost always get «the beer munchies»
The paper menus/​lists are still a mess, but when everything else goes great it’s easy to overlook.
I think they found there stride, and $ 3 excellent Haus Brews at happy hour are my best reason to return!!!
*follow up visit and review as promised.

Very cool /​hip looking place indoors and out. Our server was very friendly. The catered food they walked by us with to a large corporate party on the outside looked impressive.
My hubby’s opened faced ham sandwich was tasty but my kale and romaine salad with a $ 6 shrimp add on (in addition to the $ 9 base price) was not worth it. Neither were the (2) brisket egg rolls for $ 10. Also, they were completely out of the first 3 beers we chose off of the printed beer menu.
We will be back, but only during happy hour or during their $ 12 (?) breakfast buffet.

Came by here on Saturday and really enjoyed it. The layout is awesome. Whoever the architect was did a fantastic job. There’s 3 bars, tons of outdoor space, a beer garden which has coverage from the direct sun, and lots of TVs for your sports viewing pleasure. The beer list is fantastic and soon they’ll have their house brews ready. Regarding food there is a decent variety. This time I only had some fries from the outdoor kitchen (truffle) and they were outstanding.
I imagine this place will be a cluster late at night but for an afternoon out or happy hour you’ll really enjoy it. I look forward to coming back and trying out some house beers and the food.

In case you were wondering about the Germanic title it is a play, I believe, on the term for a German beer hall, which is Hofbrauhaus — or at least that is the term for the most famous one of all, which is in Munich (founded around 1600) — though this place is sort of a mix of a beer hall and a beer garden (Biergarten). All that being said, I’m glad I had a chance to check this place out with the invitation via FaceBook to an initial gathering, which came with an initial sampling of the food and any two beers — and they have some great ones, both on draft and in the bottle.
I had both a Chimay Première ($ 9 a bottle but boy, what a great beer) and I had a four peaks white ale, made with locally grown wheat from the Hayden Flour Mill Organization. Here is the great part, I ended up drinking the beer with the guy who heads up the Hayden Flour Mill organization that grew the wheat for the beer. Oh, and as far as I could tell, didn’t seem to a non-​craft beer — this is definitely meant to be a place that celebrates craft and quality European beer.
If you like sports, they have lots of televisions inside and lots of open seating. As for the menu, Julian Wright has opted to provide what looked like a lot of great items around the $ 15 range for entrees. The food I had, which included some great cured meats and cheeses, seems to have a strong European focus as well and extremely high quality.
For those who like the open air and want more of the beer garden feel, there is the extended outdoor seating area. There are TVs above the outside bar but you can also focus on conversation with friends. The staff was also friendly and though I can tell they are still working out some of the service kinks, everyone was incredibly professional.
The only thing I noticed had nothing to do with the actual establishment, it was the fact that they need more bike racks — the ones around the area were packed out so hopefully they will install more of them in the area to encourage the Pedal part of the Pedal Haus name.
Once again, lovely place and I look forward to being a regular in the beer garden!
