Sentinel Peak Brewing Company

Fun spot to enjoy some great beer and good food. On nice days they have a patio area into the parking lot which sounds bizarre but somehow works. The service is always friendly and fun and it’s family friendly too! We enjoy this as a weekend place to go and enjoy the environment

My husband and I stopped for lunch and we weren’t impressed. Service is horrible, and the food isn’t much better. The pretzels were good, and we didn’t try any beer. That will probably be our first and last time going there.

Stopped in after a day of hiking with friends. Good food, great beer and a fun atmosphere!

Got to get on the stick with Customer Service (1÷7÷16 1530)!!! 3 waitstaff on duty and I had to beg for a 2^nd brew. Would’ve had a 3^rd but the service was so bad I went elsewhere. 1 was shmoozing with 2 customers from around her home town; the other worried about her cell and Santiago just stared into space!!!
I’ve given this venue stellar reviews in the past on another site, but you’re not going to make money on a rainy day staring at the rain drops!

The dog friendly patio attracted us here. The beer was pretty good but having had other local brew, I wouldn’t call it excellent. There are a couple good, basic vegan options here, namely the hummus platter and veggie panini. It’s a good, casual place to take the dogs and have a snack.

Great food, fantastic beer, and terrific service from Chelsea D., even though we were the only ones outside on this chilly December day. Best part: our dog was welcome on their brand-​new patio, and they lit a propane heater for us. We had the peanut butter porter, the saison, and the dunkel, and they were outstanding. We love quality, locally owned businesses — especially breweries– and this hit the mark.

The beer was good, but not so great happy hour prices. Plus the service was really slow.

Sentinel peak is definitely a hidden gem! It’s in between pet smart and trader joes on grant and swan. They have recently made renovations and this place looks amazing! I am a regular here and every time my food is always delicious! And the service is incredible. They also sell
Growlers I’m not sure exactly how many glasses of beer you can get from each one but it’s about ⁴⁄₅ and you can get whichever beer you would like. Sentinel is so successful and definitely a place everyone needs to check out!

Great local brewery! We enjoyed a few beers on the patio after a hike. Tip: They normally have a groupon so check that out before you go.

The staff are very nice here and its a cool setting. I’m just rating the beer alone because I don’t usually get food. Also I give this place an extra star when they have live music.
On to the beer, it’s getting better.. but they do have off flavors. They aren’t afraid to serve beers that have buttery flavors, and their pilsner has less flavor than bud light. They have room to improve and hopefully somebody is working on it. If you aren’t s beer «snob» you will probably like the beer, because the problems are subtle.

Decided to check out Sentinel Peak for some beer and dinner. We sat at the bar and the service was pretty good. We tried all the beers they currently had on tap. Mostly they were on the average side. None were bad but few were great. I think my favorites were the Mexican Lite Lager and the spicy Overhaul Chili beer. Opposites, I know, but they were both pretty good. For food I had a french dip and it was good. The sandwich itself good but normal but the yummy dip was what made it. We also had an order of the jalapeño poppers and they were good as well. I like that while sitting at the bar you can watch them make your food. This always makes me feel more comfortable when I can observe the process.

I have been to Sentinel Peak Brewing twice, my visits have been about a year apart.
Good things have happened at Sentinel Peak in the last year. They are expanding in size, adding more tables to sit at. They are also adding a patio which is nice. They are now offering a greater variety of drinks, including coffee drinks, wine, and hard cider.
On my first visit I just had beer, a sampler flight, sitting at the bar. Nothing particularly stood out. I did like the live music and I like their location.
Because my first visit was just ok, it took me a while to come back. I bought a Groupon and decided to give them another try.
This time I ordered a pint and food. I was surprised to see some of the same beers from last year mixed in with a few new ones. This time I got their regular IPA. It was fine. However, we really liked the food we ordered. We had the carnitas tacos and I would recommend them. I also had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It had a nice amount of shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and blue cheese. The food was really very good. We asked to have the sandwich split and that wasn’t a problem.
Our server on our second visit was excellent. We sat at a table. We noticed a large family group coming in to celebrate a birthday. It looked like a nice place for a group to get together.
Overall, I am glad this new business is doing so well. I would recommend them for meal or happy hour get together. However, the beer isn’t my favorite, but I would still recommend giving it a try.

Sentinel Peak es una cerveceria artesanal la cual se especializa en no filtrar su cerveza. A mi en lo personal siento que a sus cervesas les falta un poco mas de desarrollo para que queden bien. Simplemente hay mucho mejores cervecerias en Tucson. Sin embargo Sentinel Peak tiene la ventaja de que su comida es muy buena. Los tacos de carnita son substanciales y podrian ser mejor si los sirvieran con 1 tortilla adicional ya que la proporcion Carne: Tortilla esta desequilibrada. Tambien tienen muy buenos emparedados. He comido aqui 2 veces y siento que tienen un buen concepto. Espero que sigan mejorando y puedan llegar a hacer mejor cerveza para que complemente mejor a sus platillos.

Wonderful food, and wonderful beer! And about to have wonderful coffee! (Rattlesnake espresso is joining them) great atmosphere, there was a live band playing which was enjoyable while having dinner and drinks. Staff was friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

Love this place! Great food, beer and staff! Live music on some nights!
Still love the Salida but it’s been fun trying all the different flavors :)

My first time here and I only came here because I bought it on groupon. This place is a hidden brewery. That has a great selection of beer. My mother and I came and got two pints of beer the beer I got was dew point with 5.7 alcohol it was a great porter went down smooth. My mother got the 1811 which was a blonde we also got appetizer Sonoran tacos which we asked for no cabbage and the cook forgot so they gave of those and brought out another trio of tacos. Since I waited for my tacos I respect the cook for taking ownership and giving me a free beer. The tacos were amazing and the salsa was delicious with avocado jalapeño sauce. I enjoyed it thank you sentinel brewery

For sure coming back to this place! Had such a great dinner date here with my boyfriend! We have been wanting to try this place for a while.
After a long 12 hour shift as a nurse I wanted a place to grab a beer and just wind down! This place was perfect! A cute band was playing live and everyone was just super happy even with all that was going on with how busy they were!
Food was delicious. Instantly I knew that this place was going to be one of those places where everything on the menu is great and we have to try them all.
I started off with the street tacos! Omg! They were so savory and tasty! Perfect portions! It was fantastic! My boyfriend had the Reuben sandwhich. Probable the best Reuben I’ve ever tasted. Seriously when I crave Reuben that is what in crave!
So coming back!

I love it here. Staff and owners are great, they are super personal, food and beer=wonderful. Also they have a VEGAN panini! Yay!
I highly recommend stopping in!

This is my first visit and I loved it. The enviroment is welcoming and warm. I walked in as if I have been here before. It was lunchtime but not crowded. Thier were plenty of places to sit. The choices in craft beers changes regularly so I decided on a flight of 4 different 6 oz beers. The menu explains what beer goes best with what food. So I decided on the pulled bbq brisket w a side of mac n cheese.
I spent the next hour enjoying the combination between my lunch and the different beers. My server Chelsea was very attentive and knowledgable as well as the rest of the staff as I watched them serving the other guests. As far from what I could tell I am very satisfied and I highly recommend everyone to visit.

Atmosphere:
For a smaller brewery with food options they make good use of the space. I went there on a Saturday night I sat at the bar, there were plenty of seats available. The ambiance is neutral feeling and welcoming. I did not feel out of place entering this establishment. There is a small area in the front hat appears to cater to the home brewer by selling home brewing products, which is a nice addition.
Product:
It’s a brewery, so it’s safe to say that it’s product is beer. There is also food available. There appears to be four styles of beer that are always available and four rotational beers. The food menu has some standard fare, nothing that screamed to me as a must have food item. The first beer I tried was the dunkle, it was average. The second beer I tried was a porter, which was a step above the dunkle, but had a very similar taste, just a different finish. The last beer I tired was a session ale, which I always found to be middle of the road. The food was not impressive either, middle of the road fare. I had the Cuban and it just didn’t produce the flavors I was looking for.
Service:
Service at the bar was prompt and friendly. The food came out in an orderly fashion, no negatives here.
Conclusion:
Overall it was an average middle of the road experience. I was not impressed by any of the beers and the food was the same. I will be back though to try some other beers and another food selection. I found it difficult to read the types of beer as they were written on a blackboard behind the bar in very small writing, even for someone at the bar to read. There were small table cards with the four beer stables listed, but not the four rotational beers. A little more information on the beers would be helpful. I am looking forward to trying some of the beers listed on the website as «on deck» so I will be back.

Despite the appearance of the strip mall it is located in, this place is a fantastic food and beer find!
First off, I love the story behind this place! It was founded by three Tucson firefighters and the brewery namesake is that of the infamous «A» Mountain (which can be seen in the brewery emblem).
Just under a year old (they opened in January) this place makes beer like a seasoned brewpub! I decided to try, literally, everything they had on tap. I did two beer flights (one flight consists of 4−6oz tasters) so that I could sample all the beers. Everything I had was true to its beer type with some definitely favorites emerging. I was just sad I didn’t get to try their Scotch ale.
I had (in tasting order):
–1811 Desert Blonde (light and drinkable with great depth)
–Heissertag Oktoberfest (classic!)
–Salida del Sol Mexican Amber (Easy to drink)
–Icebreak IPA (not an IPA girl, but if you like hops, it has plenty on the finish)
–Mr Beer American Brown Ale (very interesting flavor profile and finish; liked it)
–Zucca Pazza Pumpkin Spice Ale (Autumn in a pint!)
–Starr Pass Stout (delicious pairing with the Coconut Ball!)
–Dew Point Dunkel (one of my favs!)
I even tried their 7-​chili beer, which I got a sample of and of the 1oz pour I was only able to do a sip. This thing does not mess around… it is liquified fire!
I had the bavarian pretzel stix (only 3 stix to an order), which I wasn’t really a fan of, but they do their reuben right! Seriously, sooooo good with the perfect amount of kraut to meat to bread ratio!
And need I say it, but do yourself a favor and order the coconut ball dessert! It was so damn delicious and when paired w/​the stout… there are not words only sounds!
Really enjoyed my visit here and glad I decided to stop by. Kevin, our waiter, was just awesome and more than accommodating! He was not only on it and attentive, but he gave us a brief history of the place and a low down on the brews. Actually, all the staff we interacted with were just so kind and you could tell they were happy to be there!
I also really liked the décor, with a lot of the tables and chairs being made by one of the owners and their friend (I really liked the wood tables w/​the the turquoise infusion).
What a great intro to the Tucson brew scene… and as someone who is highly involved in the Austin craft brew scene, this place holds their own!
