I took about a 7 month hiatus from OHSO. I was dragged back kicking and screaming for a friend's birthday this last Friday. They have a happy hour which apparently ends at 6pm. Fine. We got there around 6:05 and ordered a few pitchers of beer. I will continue to give them praise for their beer selection. My beer was very tasty. Our server came by and asked us if we'd like any appetizers to start with. I had seen on the happy hour menu that they serve a pretzel cheese fondue type thing. During happy hour (which ends at 6), this app is like $3 or something. It is now 6:13pm. I ask if I can have the pretzel cheese fondue thingy....aaaannnd....wait for it...wait for it....our server says NO! I, of course, assume that there is some sort of miscommunication on my part. I tell her that I fully recognize that I cannot have the pretzel fondue thingy for the $3 happy hour price. It's 6:13 after all, and the happy hour ends at 6. So I ask again. AGAIN SHE SAYS NO! Undeterred and extremely desirous of the pretzel fondue thingy, I say, Look, I know I can't get it for $3. Can't I pay you some exorbitant price and get it? AGAIN SHE SAYS NO!!! She says the pretzel fondue thingy is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING HAPPY HOUR. WHAT?! She then proceeds to tell me that I can wait until 10pm when Happy Hour starts again and order it. WHAT?! THE MICROWAVABLE PRETZEL FONDUE FAIRY IS TAKING A 4 HOUR BREAK OR SOMETHING?! Ok. Ok. Ok. I get that sometimes you can't order the thing you want. I get it. Breakfast at 10pm when you're not at a Denny's? Fine. I understand. BUT THIS IS A PRETZEL! A pretzel that was available 13 minutes ago and will be available in another 3 hours and 47 minutes!!! Crestfallen, I ordered some pesto hummus, a cheese burger, and a couple more pitchers of beer. All were perfectly fine. But all I really wanted was my pretzel cheese fondue thingy. I have never offered to pay more for something and been denied. Like, literally never in my life. Why OHSO? Why do you so desperately want me to hate you?

I'm really torn on writing this review, I wish there was an option to review it as a bar versus a restaurant. I frequently come here and wish I could give it a higher rating, but their food just doesn't stand up. 5 Stars - If you're coming here just to drink/go to a bar The pros: - Dog friendly: You can bring your dog to the patio at night, they have carabiners to hook up leashes, water bowls, and complimentary dog treats - Awesome beer list: It's really extensive with lots of good choices - Happy hour is a great deal: $6 pitchers - 10$ beer brunch (breakfast pizza is your best bet) - The ambiance/atmosphere is really great - Bicycle friendly: you can bike down the canal to get here 2 Stars - If you're coming here to eat The cons: - The food is really hit or miss, you have to really know what to order and the better dishes are still just average. - The small plates are not a good value, very little food for the $ - Burger is okay, would be great if they served it on a better bun - Service is very hit or miss too, mostly miss All together their food is a fail. This place would be 5 stars if they revamped their menu. The majority of the dishes I've eaten have been mediocre (I've tried several things on the menu). I wish they would change their food quality (e.g. take some notes from Four Peaks) and then it would be perfect.

Pros: Awesome selection of beers several of which are local. (I know; that's sort of a duh because it's a nanoBrewery). The food is really good, especially their flatbreads, and the staff is friendly and efficient. You can have your dog on the patio and they have treats and water for dogs which is fun. Overall, it's a good atmosphere and an awesome place to bring out of towners to show them a cool local spot. The other patrons are always nice and interesting as well. In fact, pretty much every time I've gone here one of us girls walks away with a date! Good to know for all of you single folks! Cons: Parking kind of sucks. They do have free Valet but of course you still have to tip. It's not that big of a deal because they do have an ATM inside (which does charge a ridiculously high interest rate for withdrawals of course!) but still, something to keep in mind. Also, I feel like every single time I go there one of the toilets is clogged. Again, not that big of a deal but a pain nonetheless. And lastly, yes, it's fun that dogs are allowed on the patio and granted I know this is out of the restaurant's control so I didn't let it factor my rating, but some of the people that bring their dogs here are really stupid and ironically not what I would call "dog people." In other words, it's hard to relax because you're constantly trying to keep your dog under control but also other people's dogs at bay as well. Not a good time in my book.

As a regular to this wonderful brewery and dog friendly patio tonight I was thoroughly disappointed. The hostess quoted our table of two 40 minutes while we saw at least 5 empty and clean tables. Being a server for the past 8 years did teach me that you should under promise and over deliver your guests but these wait times were ridiculous and are the type of actions that drive customers away. We almost left as we got our text to be seated less than 10 minutes after we put our name in. Staff needs some training.
(2)Nicole N.
The brunch is delicious and has a good price. Mimosas and brunch for $10.86 a price that can't be beat.
(5)Mel G.
This place has a great patio PLUS a great selection of microbrews. I loved the setup of this place- great front and back patio-dog friendly too. The back patio setup is awesome. Great view of Camelback Mountain and the bicycle wall with the tires that are fans is super cool! We came on Father's Day and for their BBQ Sunday special and we were not disappointed. The special was great, huge portions. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Nancy L.
We were in the vicinity and hungry for lunch on Sat. with our dog, I found this place online as 'dog friendly', so we went for it. I'm so glad we did. I love this place.... the back patio is fun with all the dogs and I love their metal fence next to the canal (I want to ride my bike there someday). We found it friendly (of course dog people are always friendly) and the food was great. This is now my go to place for fish tacos... loved em! Oh, and yes, Mr. Wilson loved it too. p.s. the peach beer was great!
(5)Bao H.
OHHHHH SOOOO Eatery! I'd be so hungry if I left you now Cause I don't know where to look for Brews I just don't know how! OHHHHH SOOOO Eatery! How I depend on you To give me Brews when I need it right on time for Happy Hour! (Lyrics - The Chi-Lites - Oh Girl) OH! SO good and worth your time. At first glance I didn't know what this place was. I made my stop across the street at JT's. Finally, I'm glad a made a stop here. Felt like walking into a neighborhood bar that was full of . . . well . . my neighbors! They have a pretty awesome back patio, but that's not to say that the front is lacking. Dogs are welcomed up front to hang with patrons. The place itself seemed pretty retro and had that summer camp feel. They have a huge selection of micro brews and what totally weirded me out was how the bartender remembers which brew was in which tap, since there were no signs or logos attached. Just plain taps! Kudos to the person that has to remember all of it! I ordered a burger with cheese and a side of fries. My friends ordered the antipasto platter which came with Elk meat -- cool! My burger was totally awesome with the bacon and cheese. The patty was nice and juicy while the cheese just oozed over it nicely. The bun was nice and soft and don't forget to order some nice and crispy fries on the side. Overall and the bread they used was definitely larger and doughy compared to what I was used to. The antipasto platter was great and came with honey mustard and some sort of salsa like sauce. The meats and pickled veggies was what made it delicious! Never had elk but wasn't bad at all. The pickled veggies were pungent and hit up my sinuses where it need to. Overall, good start and good experience - Enjoy!

My favorite patio in Phoenix!! O.H.S.O. is the only TRUE dog friendly patio I have found. Great service, fantastic food, wide range of beer selections, and lots of pooch lovin' people.. I just cant say enough!! My boyfriend and I will quickly become regulars at this local hot spot!!
(5)Brian N.
This joint had been on my bookmarked list of "gotta try" for quite a few months. I'm not often in the area, but my buddy's wife planned his surprise b-day party here - so I happily agreed to kill two birds with one stone. Ambiance is nice, beer was delicious and cold, and the food was great. The service was solid, and upon finding out that I dabble in home-brewing, he mentioned the ability to come to O.H.S.O. and brew your own with the assistance of the brewmasters. I was pretty impressed, not many breweries take the time to do something like that - so we downloaded the handy dandy app and were able to see the upcoming dates that were available. They are currently booked through the end of November, but the concept is so cool that I will check periodically to book a brewing session. I just love it when you can tell a place has passion for what they do, and this place was no exception.
(5)Kristy R.
This is my favorite place to go! I wish there were more locations!!! But I make the drive because I love this place. Ps you can bring your dog, amazing!
(5)Rebecca R.
O.M.G this place is good!! My husband and I stopped by for his birthday and the place was packed! (Granted, it was a Friday night and we did drop in at the tail end of happy hour.) Parking was a problem so use valet. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait so we wandered into the bar area to find a seat. We finagled two stools outside and enjoyed the spinach, crab, and artichoke dip. Yummy!!!! Our waiter recommended the orange vanilla beer and my husband had a Heffeweisen (spelling?). Both were good. Mine was very mellow and smooth. Good for people who don't really like beer. Like me. We ordered the smaller sizes and got two regular size pub glasses. (I think they were 18-24 ounces - not sure what the larger size would have looked like!) By the time we finished our app the hostess popped over to tell us our table was ready. (What 45 minute wait? Secretly I think she only said that to discourage the group of 6 punk college kids that walked in ahead of us.) As for the service, I don't know what everyone else is talking about but our waiter was great! As soon as we sat down he asked if we wanted waters - which I did - and brought them immediately. They use a thin cucumber instead of lemons which I thought was awesome...but I'd already drank half a beer with little to eat so everything is awesome at that point. :) My husband ordered the barbecue burger which his boss had recommended. I got the veggie burger after asking what the OHSO sauce was. It is Bloody Mary mayo. Yes, you read that right. Bloody. Mary. Mayo. I had to order it. I got fries on the side because I cannot resist potatoes in any form. The food came out after a decent interval and my husband and I didn't speak for 10 minutes because we were busy stuffing our pie holes. (Bloody Mary mayo tastes like manna from heaven by the way.) Between the beer and the appetizer I couldn't finish my food but I wasn't going to let all that flavor go to waste so I got to go box. (30 seconds in the micro and it is just as tasty for a snack.) The bill came to about $47 before tip which is to be expected after drinks and an appetizer. Not too bad considering the damage we've done at other celebration dinners. ;) I didn't give 5 stars because the parking could be better. But we will DEFINITELY be back! (There are like 20+ beers to try after all.) P.S. we were told that the patio is dog friendly and they have a weekly contest. If you take a picture of your dog with one of their glasses or a growler you are entered to win a $25 gift card. A winner is drawn every week.

This place is awesome!!.......good food and great drinks.You wont be disappointed. Parking is a little difficult at times.....get there early.
(4)Kimberly W.
Love this place! Has an urban feel inside. I had the garlic shrimp tacos and they were AMAZING!! Tried the sweet potato fries (basically my favorite food) and they were very good. No comment on the beer (since I don't drink it) but they had a good sized selection.
(5)Chris D.
Food: Let me clarify, the food is inconsistent but the beer is always good. They have some really awesome dishes, but I get it once and it blows me away. I come in again and get it and it's "meh." I have been here quite a few times and a few of my favorites are the pastrami, the chorizo and potato flat bread, and skirt steak and fries. Really if I am being honest though, most of the time I am not going here for the food. I am going for the beer. 50 taps. Half from AZ half from elsewhere. Not only is it a good selection but they serve it in correct glassware and know how to pour beer. Huge pluses. Their signature cocktails are quite good as well. I really enjoyed the Arcadia (with bubbles) and lived the Mule, especially that it comes in a copper cup. Atmosphere: Good to great. The back patio is awesome great place to bring your dog and enjoy a few pints on a fall evening. They have misters in the summer and heaters in the winter. The indoor portion is nice as well. The tables are super interesting, the walls are decorated with bicycle parts and a giant chalkboard with their draft selections. Service: Decent. Nothing great nothing to write home about. A couple of times, gave a great huge tip because they were awesome. Never have felt like I shouldn't give on either. The biggest problem is parking. During the evening they have complimentary valet, but even then there have been a couple times I had to park in the neighborhood across the street and hoof it. No biggie though.
(3)Kelleen P.
Ok ohso I love you but seriously you charge a dollar to sample a beer?!? Just one beer?! Thats kinda ridiculous
(2)Jack S.
Kathy and kale are great! We sat outside and these two were attentive and made great drinks with a awesome personalities! Def worth a visit
(4)Claire W.
The beer selection is AMAZING, the food is great, and the free doggy treat is an awesome touch. I really appreciate that they have so many different Arizona brews to choose from, and they change them up frequently. The only downer is the lack of parking, but that only encourages you to ride your bike there :)
(5)S C.
This is the greatest place. Huge beer selection. Great patio and it allows dogs and even has baggies with home made doggie biscuits to take as you leave. Good food, casual place, central location. I highly recommend.
(5)Aileen C.
I got here before all of my friends and went to the bar to wait for them. The bartender was awesome and let me try a couple of beers before I finally picked one. This was really nice of him because 1- i'm not a fan of beer 2- i'm extremely picky. this is a difficult combination but he was really cool and probably would have let me try the whole selection if i asked. When my friends finally got here, we went to sit down and we ordered food. Everyone was really happy with their food. I tried the pizza and sweet potato fries and they were really good. Definitely a fun place to hang out. Minus one star for horrible parking. they have valet which is nice but i really would just like to park my own car.
(4)Joe R.
A charming little brew pub that we stopped at for lunch. The patio is unique with a prime view of Camelback Mountain, as well as a bike lot for people to enter off the canal trail. The place serves a selection of traditional pub fare, along with some gourmet selections. The also feature locally crafted beer and wines, in addition to a full bar. I tried one of the flatbread pizzas, while my guests had the pork tacos and the veggie burger. The food was fresh and flavorful, and we all enjoyed our meals. I do, however, think that some of their prices are a bit ambitious, and rival higher class places in downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. For example the flatbread pizzas are priced at the level of some authentic gourmet pizza places like Pomo and La Piazza Locale, which are way out of their league. As far as the pub part, I cannot comment on since I was at a working lunch and therefore could not indulge.
(3)Bryan S.
-fun place to gather friends -good food, beers and apps -a bit to 'neighborhoodish' but love the dog atmosphere
(3)Jeffrey B.
The service was not very good and the food mediocre. Phoenix has many other options that are far superior, especially downtown. The mixed drinks were nothing worth mentioning (it is a brewery so my own fault there).
(2)Blake T.
Came here severely drunk after the Waste Management Open...from what I remember it was very tasty burger. I liked the patio.
(5)DJ P.
Positives: - The patios is awesome - Location off the canal - Can ride and park our bikes there - Our kids love the dogs (at least when all of the dogs are getting along) - Dog treats for the kids to take home to the dog The rest: -The fish tacos are awesome, the burger was ok and the other dishes have been so so. - The brunch is great if you are drinking but otherwise $10 for a breakfast burrito isn't the greatest. For those of us that have to drive the rest home it would be nice if you could get an iced tea or coffee instead of a beer or mimosa.
(3)Aimee H.
Just have to add a couple things.... 1. I heard they are going to start letting people come in and brew their own beer?!? Where do I sign up I say!?!?! Sounds awesome! Anything we want, we get to name it and everything. I can't wait. 2. The Sunday BBQ Special, redick! Some friends got it the other day and raved about it. Looked amazing too. And at $15 and all you can eat, no brainer! "The best BBQ I have ever had!" He said
(5)Alex N.
Went here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. It was very busy that night and we had to wait about 30 minutes for our seats. We were able to get drinks from the bar to pass our time though. Our waiter was quick to help us take our order. We ordered more drinks and an appetizer while we waited for our entrees. An hour goes by and no entrees. Our waiter glances at us every 15 minutes but does not say anything to us. We finally ask about our entrees and he claims the kitchen staff accidentally placed our order in the completed pile. He did comp our drinks and appetizer though. Not entirely sure if it's worth it to come back here.
(2)Craig M.
Great beer, great food, and if you are a dog lover..the most pet friendly restaurant ever! Service is fantastic too. This is one place where we will go every trip to Phoenix. My dog is craving O.S.H.o dog biscuits!
(5)Richard R.
On a warm Saturday afternoon, I was shocked to discover the popularity of OHSO. The back patio was slammed with customers day drinking at 2pm. A very good sign for any bar. The reason this microbrewery may be popular is probably because OHSO serves great beer. I'm not just talking about what they brew on site, but there's a massive selection of craft beers from other microbreweries in Arizona and from around the world. If you're looking for Bud Light, do yourself a favor and go to any other bar in the country. If you're looking for something other than beer, there is a decent selection of mixed drinks. Having never been to OHSO, I decided I should have one of their own and the Citrus Nitro caught my attention after the server called it a "creamsicle." What a perfect description of what the beer tastes like. Would you believe a beer flavored like a creamsicle is delicious? It is. I also tried the White Chocolate Ale from the Sonoran Brewing Company in Scottsdale. Also delicious. Service was great. I was with a group of about 15 to 20 people, and the waitress had no problem keeping our tabs straight. There were also tray filled with water glasses constantly delivered to the table without request. Something desperately needed on a 90 degree day. The server also was really knowledgeable about the beers on the menu.
(4)Genevieve W.
Had a great time here. I have been a couple of times. Once with my mom and her dog, and another time with my fiancé and friends. Had a great time each time. The green chile dip is delightful. Beer selection is good too. They have a lot of selection, not only from their own menu, but from breweries all over the west. The patio is absolutely the spot to be if it is not too hot out. On the weekend the vibe is chill with dogs and owners all over. We live in Chandler, so it is a little out of the way, but worth it for a good Saturday beer and burger.
(4)Michelle J.
A great place to bring your dog(s) and have a beer! They also make their own little dog treats and provide water. Food is pretty good too. Love coming here with my dog and will be coming back.
(5)Ivia G.
This is my new favorite place. I love that they always have a new selection of freshly brewed beers. I do not like the fact that they run out of those beers and you cannot get them the next week. The food is very tasty. I am going to try the brunch soon
(4)Liz M.
5 stars for beer selection. 0 for service (30 minutes to get food and drink from the time we ordered - 45 more to get the bill). 2 burgers, pink, BBQ one was great, AZ was literally still a precooked patty pink mush and onion straws were cold and slimy like they never made it to the frier. I got the wrong beer - twice. Didn't point any of this out to server because she barely existed. Good ambience and beer selection. Will still come for beer and bar only. Eat before you go. UPDATE: Manager reached out to correct service issues and was genuinely interested in the experience and details - a good sign! Plus, dogs loved the complimentary dog treats we brought home. Going to head back to try backyard BBQ with bike up on the canal - more to come!
(3)Ryan G.
Love this place! I went in for brunch and had a tasty Churrasco Steak and Eggs. This was a great menu item cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed a flight of different beers that they brewed in house. The O.H.S.O. Grovey was my favorite. I usually don't like orange in a beer however this brew tasted amazing! The Happy IPA was also really gwwooooood!
(4)Josh To The S.
Best spot for hard to find local AZ brew!!! They also have a very cool Nano brew setup that every homebrewer would kill to have! Good food, good atmosphere, and enough bikes on the patio to start your own hipster bicycle gang.
(5)Jared C.
Went there today and sat at a table that was reserved in about an hour and ten min from when we got there. The first thing the waiter said was "you know you only have an hour right". Very rude first impression. He barely talked to us the whole time. I ordered a cheese burger medium cooked and it came out cooked fine but there was an inch long gross red bloody spot on the bottom bun that was soggy. I'll post a pic if I can. Told him they shouldn't serve food like that and he said ok as he walked away and never said sorry or anything. I will never go back.
(1)Brandon B.
My favorite place to drink in Arcadia...or maybe in Arizona. Great beer list (rotating), great atmosphere (as long as you're on the back patio or near the front. Middle of the restaurant? Not so much. I didn't like the old food/menu, but it seems they upgraded and I hear good reviews about the food now. A great place to ride your bike as well and extremely dog friendly.
(5)Nathan R.
I picked a beer at random that ended up being delicious. I really enjoyed my dinner as well. The charcuterie (they called it something else) was fantastically delicious, highly recommend it for an appetizer. The braised pork was ultra yummy. The chocolate cake was probably the best I have eaten all year. I would go back just for that. Can't give it 5 stars though. I really felt ignored by the waiter. No excuse for crappy service.
(4)Ashley A.
We returned to N. Scottsdale location for another try. We ordered the flatbreads and the calamari appetizer. They were all very good, the flatbread was especially good. Music was turned down this time and the staff was very friendly. We moved recently so we will have to give the Arcadia location a go as well. I like the parking situation better at the N. Scottsdale location.
(5)Krysti R.
Food great. Service great. Forced Valet sucks. Don't move everything in my car! I could park myself. Why is my drivers seat laid back to the back seat. Lame! Other than that though the brunch is great and love the dog friendly patio.
(3)Justin B.
Everything is great here... Grab a Microbrew or Bloody Mary... You cant thank me later!
(4)Angela B.
We went in on a Wednesday night happy hour- great pitchers of beer. I had the kale salad- and my boyfriend had the mac and slow roasted pork... such a great plate (not that I don't love salad... but really the mac was AMAZING). Our server, forgive me I think his name was Kyle- but he was so nice & made recommendations on our wine and beer. Thank you & can't wait to come watch some college football!! Go BLUUUUUUE!
(5)Stacy Z.
Great for a night out! We had an awesome time with the extensive beer and cocktails selection. Their happy hour prices are spectacular- a pitcher of beer ended up being just a dollar or two more than a glass. Our group of 12 or so had awesome service outside on the front patio. Everything we ordered food-wise was great too- artichoke dip, green chile dip, sandwiches, etc. My only real quibble here is with the parking. One, the lot is tiny compared to the number of people the place can hold, and parking is very tight. Secondly, there is optional valet parking, which is apparently free but that fact isn't well marked anywhere that we saw. The stop and go of the valet parking tends to get in the way of the non-valet parking and overall it seems like there is no real benefit to having the valet.
(3)Joe G.
For Xmas My wife and I were given a brewing session where we could assist a couple of their brewers in brewing a batch of beer. The two fellows that walked us through the process were Dave and Jeff. Super nice guys and very knowledgable. If you are in to beer, I highly recommend checking this out. It came with brunch and a couple of beer tastings. The breakfast burritos are awesome and as always a wide beer selection.
(5)Lauren L.
This place has improved tremendously since my initial terrible review (though I do still like to call it NO SOH). Great beer selection and really stellar fish and chips. Only downside is I have yet to try their back patio because it's too popular- an hour and a half wait?! Ha. Ha.
(4)Trish W.
Pleasantly surprised. The food was extremely good. I had the kale and pear salad with salmon. I witnessed a number of others enjoying their chosen selections as well. The wine was delicious and the service stellar. Nice bar feel; indoor and an outdoor patio (dogs welcome through Oct). Brunch specials, Sunday BBQ, etc. Seems like a place with lots to offer. Definitely a neighborhood spot. My only criticism. Way too cold to have the garage door up; trendy but not practical unless you bring the heat up at the inside bar.
(4)Michelle H.
The food here was decent - I liked the spinach artichoke and crab dip, which was tasty and a good sized portion. I forget what I had, I think it was some salad which was ok and the sangria which again was fine. The thing that stands out for me was how AWFUL the service was. We waited about 30 minutes or so for a table, which was fine. Had some drinks, sat on some couches. No problem. After we were seated (we still had the drinks we were already working on) no one came for at least another 30 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. When our waitress finally came she asked if we were going to want to order anything. Um, why did we ask to be seated at a table and not just keep sitting in our comfy couches by the bar??? She eventually took our orders, and they eventually brought our food. Then we didn't see her again for another hour until she brought the check. Just awful - and it wasn't even busy. For the price, I couldn't believe the awful service.
(2)Heather C.
I really really really like OHSO. I always feel a little odd reviewing a brewery since I don't drink beer, so I'll review the eatery part. But let me say if I did like beer, I would love that you can buy small tastings before you commit. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do that with anything? First off, the menu is perfect with a handful of appetizers, small plates, salads, burgers, and sandwiches all for $10-$15. The small plates are really not that small. The shrimp tacos were really good as was the accompanying slaw. The tortillas are street size, but you get a good half dozen or so. I really loved the grilled chicken flatbread with plenty of cheese, bacon, garlic poblano sauce, and a cilantro pesto. If you're not a fan of cilantro, it is almost undetectable. I also wish the poblano sauce were a little spicier. But what makes this flatbread is the chopped tomato and cucumber salad on top. It adds a nice sweetness and freshness to the pie. Without it, the dish would fall a little flat to me. And whatever you get, add french fries. Thin and crispy with a sprinkling of black pepper. Mmm. Mmm. It's never been busy on my visits, but I've only gone for weekend lunches. Hopefully they stick around for a while.
(4)Ashley P.
All I can say is Wow! I hosted a party here last Saturday for 40 guests as a surprise party for my parents anniversary. I had worked with Nate and everything we talked about he delivered, from the size of our reserved space on the back patio to the food etc. Our server, Ashley, was as good as it gets, everyone always had a drink, we never had to go looking for her. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, casual place to have a private party as all our guests raved about the food, service etc!.
(5)Michele M.
Beer with brunch? Yes, Beer Brunch on the weekends at O.H.S.O.! I've been here a few times this past year. A few weeks ago, I decided to go and try their Beer Brunch, only $10 with a beer. Yes, beer before noon but hey it is a BEER Brunch. Nobody will judge you there! The beer biscuits and gravy was awesome! Huge pieces of sausage in the gravy. The biscuits were moist and buttery. The gravy had a kick to it for sure but went really well with the beer. I had ordered the Raspberry Wheat to go with the dish. Loved it! The dish came with two pieces of crispy bacon and a bowl of fruit. I ordered coffee as well. And the refills kept coming for the coffee. Service was good..friendly and always coming by asking you were ok and needed anything else. For only $10 it's a great place for a weekend brunch with friends or by yourself!

I travel a lot for work and always make it a point to find a local brewery or pub in all the cities I go to. I have to say this was one of the best! The brews were fantastic and the food was upscale with a pub feel. Note - the samples are a $1 each, but worth they spend. Try and White Mocha brew....very cool!
(5)Kevin W.
This is a great neighborhood pub - especially if you like craft brew. If you are that Bud Light kinda guy/gal this place is not for you. If you love beer, casual atmosphere, great food pub food, and outdoor seating then this is a great spot! The only reason the parking suck is because this place is popular for good reason.

I really like OHSO. It was fairly crowded when we arrived on a Saturday night and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. We headed to the bar to order some beer, then stood out on the patio since it was so crowded inside (it was raining, but we are Northwest people, it didn't bother us!). Just a few minutes after ordering our beer, the hostess found us and brought us to our table! We were seated much sooner than we expected, which was awesome. The food turned out to be pretty good. We ordered the calamari, spinach crab dip, steak and fries, and two flat bread pizzas (yes, we were hungry). The only thing we weren't big fans of was the Spanish chorizo and potato flatbread pizza. But we all agreed that the veggie flatbread pizza was delicious. There was a huge selection of beer from many different breweries - I was surprised that only two of the beers were made by OHSO - but I guess that is why they call it a nano brewery. I like the ambiance here. The music is good, and it is just a casual, laid back place to visit with friends while enjoying some good beer and food. If I wasn't stuck so deep in the suburbs, I would probably come here more often!

Eh. I really wanted to like it more. Our bartender wasn't very attentive and it was not busy. 2 of the beers on the menu we ordered they were out of, which is mildly annoying. Green Chile Dip was good. The O.H.S.O. Hoppy is delicious. I'll give it another try if I'm in the neighborhood. Maybe the patio next time.

Came here for Sunday brunch with the boyfriend. A little hungover from the night before... go figure. If you can ride your bike or walk here, do that. Parking was a nightmare. No, I don't want to valet my car but thanks anyway. $10 for a beer & a meal? That is something I'm willing to invest in. Given the parking situation, we figured the place would have major wait times... not the case. We were seated immediately. The inside looks like a hipster warehouse. Is that a thing? It is now. Atmosphere is laid back. Really nice beer selection. There is something for everyone... and brunch was fantastic. I had the churrasco steak & egg. I don't know if it was my hungover state of mind but the proportion was perfect & the flavor was spot on. After brunch, we walked out to the patio. What a cute little spot. I love how dog friendly everything is... they have a little dog washing station. AW. Adorable. Can't wait to go back. :)

I have been here twice for social events. So more for the drinks and to hangout. The ambiance is wonderful. They have bikes hanging around which is unique. Very casual. Loved the patio out back. Large bar and area to hangout. The drinks are always great there. Cool place to hangout any night of the week. I would definitely go back anytime.

Had a flavorful meal last night for my sister's b-day dinner. She had the green chile pork burger, I had the Ahi tuna salad and my other sister had the shrimp tacos. I'd have to say that the portions were small, compared to the typical-American-serving.. which is nice, but not so good when you are famished (which we all were, in anticipation for 'dinner out' in Arcadia). My Ahi portion was quite small (I'm pretty sure less than 4oz) but the salad and the dressing combination were an explosion of pure delight in my mouth.. tart cherries, crispy yucca and bitter arugula topped with soy ginger vinaigrette was such a delight! My sister's also boasted about the flavor of their meal. Truly tasty food. The ambiance was pretty quiet, but then again it was Monday night.. and the lighting was a bit awkward where we were seated at.. I had this shining halogen bulb right in my direction and it was awkward. Our server gal was nominal, friendly, but short with convo. I wanted a Belgian beer, but they were out, so I nixed the beer idea (I know, I'm a turd, I should've just had some) and got a Spanish Garnacha which was delicious. My sisters enjoyed their sip of it. I'll definitely be coming back for some more tasty food :)
(4)Andrew N.
Great double date place that allowed us to bring our dogs to sit at the table outside with us. Although it took a long time to get a table, the beer made up for it. As well as the BBQ chicken. The Sunday special will have me coming back for only the chicken and cornbread. Downside was the service, and when we were advertised the BBQ buffet, we ordered seconds and got "the last of it,so enjoy". And no chicken. Good atmosphere.
(4)Rachel B.
This is a local spot for me. The food is good, excellent selection of beers, great mimosa's/bloody mary's (The brunch on saturdays/sundays is great - $10 meal with a mimoso or 10oz beer), the parking is brutal - I'm lucky as I can walk:) and unfortunately the customer service is "usually" pretty mediocre (but the atmosphere is enough for me) - often slow service with no apology, things forgotten and just not always overly friendly - each experience a little different but no big red flags. Definetly a great casual place to have a beer, bring the dog (very dog friendly on the patio), great place to hit while on your beach cruiser as you can exit right off the canal - sit on the patio and enjoy the amazing view of camelback mountain.
(4)Melissa H.
It's all about the beer selection here, period. The food is mediocre bar food. But the atmosphere is lively, the service is decent, and the beer is outstanding. Get there early on a night or weekend or be prepared to wait.
(4)Jessica R.
I really like any place that allows me to take my dog, the fact that they have a "bark bar" with water bowls and treats makes me love it even more! The outside is really nice, right next to the canal with easy access to walk the pup dogs. They even have an outside wash area for when you need to wash your hands and can't go inside since you got your animal friend with you. Bartenders are really awesome, I have yet to find one that is unfriendly. Love the 3 oz samples for only $1. The OHSO salad with chicken was good, pretzels were good, yucca chips with dip (it's guacamole. Which I thought was a little weird that they said dip instead of guacamole) was really good. Something different from corn chips. I love that they started serving up growlers! I absolutly love that I can go less then 2 miles and get a growler filled with yummy Four Peaks and Oak Creek or any one of there tap selections. I can't wait to try out their brew once it's done! The fact that it is just a bike ride away makes me wish the cooler days would come even quicker! I definitely recommend everyone try this place out! You just might see me there ;)
(5)Eric H.
We really like this place and are really happy about the new location too! Decent size craft beer menu and the atmosphere is always fun! The good is very good and we think the prices are fair. I always get a burger variation which is almost always cooked the way I order and the other things we have ordered have been good as well. Dog friendly patio too so that's awesome!
(4)Marissa E.
Such a cool place! If you love beer, this is the place for you! Tons of beers on the menu, they brew a handful themselves, they host local independent brewers as "guest brews" and then lots of other beers including several AZ craft brews !! Can sample any and as many Of the beers as you choose! Food is good too! I had the Burger and Cheese-ordered pink- loved it! My friend ordered the brisket sandwich-amazing! It's super Dog friendly- which pushes this place to the top of my favorites list! They even have free homemade dog biscuits for your furry friend to enjoy there or at home- my dog had lots of allergies, can't have treats usually- however she had no problems with these treats! She was very very happy and so be was I !

Sorry to be so harsh but bad experience start to finish. We walk in on a Saturday night and it's pretty dead. They seat us (2 top) right next to the in and out of the kitchen. I look around and see plenty of open tables so I'm not sure why this was the logical place to seat us. I sit down and practically slide under the table because the seat is not bolted to the wood frame. So the bench cushion which is vinyl would slip .... hard to explain but it was annoying. On the first slip I put my hand on the table to catch myself only to feel something squishy under it. When I lifted my hand off the top of the table I had the last guests rice on it. Gross! We order drinks...the same way we always do. Loud and clear 2 iced teas NO lemon. No lemon please. She said ok no problem. She comes back a bit later with 2 good sized iced teas with a beautiful slice of lemon on each. Really? That is usually my first indication of bad service. It rarely happens but if it does I know it's going to be interesting at best. I couldn't find anything to order (Not the menu it was me) so I ordered some sweet potato fries. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I asked if my fries could be brought out asap as I was starving (again not them me). My fries were brought out and they were hot...which is nice. That is where nice ended as they had a burnt taste to them. Not so good. My husbands burger came out and I will upload the picture. I am all for a little pink in the middle of the burger but I am not down with a light sear on the patty. I have never seen such an under cooked burger in my life. I did nibble the edge and what I got was very good but it was not safe to eat the whole thing. So we asked for our check and bolted. The other annoying thing is the valet parking. It is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. The parking is plenty there and you literally hand a guy a ticket to grab your car 5 - 10 feet away. I am all for job creation but this is just annoying. I will not be back, I'm sure they do not care lol but I would also like to say I would not recommend to anyone unless you are in the neighborhood and you are craving well thought out but poorly executed food.
(3)Tianna L.
This place is so chill. You can bring your pups with you too! You just walk around the main dining room to the "backyard" where they have dog bowls and treats for you to use. Oh yeah and they have good food and drinks for the humans too. ;)
(5)A L.
First time here to Ohso ! A great vibe on a busy Sunday. Waited at the bar for 20 minutes for a table in the backyard. The bartender Cale was excellent. He made my drink perfectly and I'm famous for sending them back. He is Very friendly and goes out of his way to make your experience the best there. I had their $15 bbq and it was delicious. Everyone at the table did not have to buy it like most places do for unlimited specials. I love the view of the mountains behind the patio. Food good drinks great and fun time !
(4)Matt E.
Sunday all you can eat BBQ (3:00-7:00)...good stuff. It's worth saving up breakfast and lunch for. The flights of beer samples are a great deal too.
(4)Aileen B.
7/28/12 Met with a few friends who'd already started drinking during happy hour (read 530p) and finished dinner before I arrived around 840p. Serendipitously found a great parking spot across the front entrance. I knew I wouldn't enjoy my stay here when I was hit by such loud chattering as soon as I opened the front door. That and the scent of rancid beer that greeted me were enough to make me want to bolt, but I'd already let my friends know I'd arrived via text and Yelp check-in. Found my friends at a four-top, sat down, and proceeded to shout hellos- strike three! I REALLY dislike having to shout to a person who's sitting/standing right beside me to be heard. What's even worse is having to nuzzle my ear to their mouth to understand what they're saying... Really made me wish I was at mellow Four Peaks, already sipping on a cold pint of Peach ale and waiting on dinner to arrive. I sat at that table for twenty minutes watching at least three different servers pass by without stopping to ask if I needed anything. Thank goodness I brought my bottle of water with me, or I would've been really annoyed, because not only were my head and ears aching from the noise, but I was also hungry AND very thirsty, as well! It was only around the 30-minute mark, while I and two other friends were standing by a landing of stairs did a server stop and ask if I had been helped. By that time, I'd already made up my mind to leave and was already saying goodbye to my friends. Too bad I couldn't get any love... 3 oz beer samplers are $1 or $2 (those designated with a plus sign). Would've been a fun way to taste my way through the menu while checking out just how well the servers know the beers they offer- I'm a newbie to the world of beers, but I already know I don't like a lot of hops. Pints are $5 each (boo!), but $9 per pitcher (awesome!), and that's not even happy hour prices! A pint of local brewery Four Peaks is $5- what? I expected to see a lot of O.H.S.O. brewery beers, but I only spotted TWO. But I shouldn't have even bothered to study all of this since I never received service!

This place is awesome! Great happy hour, great brunch Sat & Sun, great neighborhood spot all around and the patio is dog friendly! Food is always delicious and some of the best beer selections in town (they have some crazy amount of offerings on tap). I hosted a party here on their front patio, great space! The catering menu's are a great option for groups and everything is just as delicious as the regular menu items. The staff was amazing in the planning process making a point to sit down with me one-on-one to put a menu together and see that my vision was carried out. For this particular event, I had some specific requests and without flinching an eye, was taken care of. On the day of the party, the room was set and the service was nothing short of fabulous. Love this place! OHSO staff=Rockstars!
(5)Megan W.
Cool vibe and dog friendly. Service was super slow and douchey at the bar. The server though, once we finally sat (at a table that was empty the entire time we were standing at the bar) got us a free round because he was from Ohio too. Go Bucks!
(4)Jim S.
Where else can you arrive by any known mode of two wheeled transportation, walk straight up to the bartender on the very cool deck and ask to borrow a bike lock? That's right they have bike locks plenty of bike racks and tools that you can use if you are in need of a quick repair or tune up. It is also incredibly four legged canine friendly. I always meet a cute or fun dog and owner when I go there. Best bike friendly place in Phoenix!! The food is good. Bar service on the deck is just OK if you sit at the bar because the bartenders are getting killed with the service bar which they run as well. The place more than makes up for that in atmosphere with the bikes and dogs. Great beers and amazing beef jerky are nice treats here. They also have free dog treats!!
(4)Sandy N.
I love this place. Not only is it a great place to get a quality craft beer, but you can bring your pooch along to socialize as well. My friend & I came here to catch up since I had been out of the area for a couple of months. We each brought our dogs with us. They had as much fun getting to know the dog at the table next to us as we did catching up. I had the veggie burger and my friend had the Ahi salad. They were both very tasty.
(5)Chris B.
On my most recent visit to O.H.S.O., they hit the ball out of the park (so to speak) so I have to give them five stars. I decided to check out this place for Sunday brunch and was thrilled with the quality of the food and service, the fun and lively atmosphere, and, of course, the great selection of beer! This is the kind of place you can proudly show off to people from out of town who are just visiting Phoenix. Every time I try a new place for a late breakfast/brunch on the weekends, I make a point to sample the biscuits and gravy. If the kitchen doesn't have an appreciation for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs standard like biscuits and gravy, it will be evident. And I was not disappointed in O.H.S.O.'s wonderful take on this breakfast classic... biscuits were fresh and soft, the white sausage gravy was creamy and hearty (with a nice spicy kick). And I was thrilled they offer a half-portion side order for just $4. My buddy and I agreed that the "Beer Brunch" was the way to go, and we were super-pleased with our meals. I had the breakfast burrito (the perfect portion size, stuffed with green chile pork carnitas, eggs, cheese, potato) and my buddy had the churrasco steak and egg dish. Both dishes came with a 10-oz. AZ draft beer of our choice for $10, which we agreed was a great value! I originally tried O.H.S.O. shortly after they took over this location from the Black Forest Mill. I was impressed with the beer selection (especially since they featured a hometown favorite... Rubicon's Monkey Knife Fight from Sacramento), but I was not initially impressed with the food. It has been years since my first visit, and the improvement is palpable. They are brewing their own beer, and I am happy to report that they are firing on all cylinders. The food is great, and the laid-back atmosphere and friendly beer-buzz vibe is undeniable (especially if you check out the back patio). The complimentary valet service may put you off at first, but it is not an attempt at being pretentious. This place is becoming so popular that it is really the best way for them to manage their available space for parking. I was here on a weekend night for a friend's going-away party in the front-most room, and the entire place was frenzied, fun, and just jumpin'! This is now one of my number one fun dining destinations--and a valuable addition to the Phoenix craft beer scene.
(5)Mark W.
What a fantastic little gem this place is! The atmosphere is very laid back, the employees are fun loving people, the ambiance is wonderful. I love the simple wood designs and the casual decorations. No formalities needed, just come on down and have a seat. The first and most important thing is the beer. You won't see any crap beer on the menu-- these are people who embody and respect the craft culture. In addition to a few of their own house brews they carry a wide range of Arizona brewed selections from names you'll likely recognize. They also have an impressive selection of pumpkin beers, if you're into that sort of thing. I guess now is the season. it's a tough call as to where you'll want to sit but at night there is no where I'd rather be than in the lovely patio, which surrounds a classically designed center bar with plenty of screens for the sports minded among us. It's basketball season now and I can't wait to take advantage of that here. I suggest you try this place out on a weeknight first, as there was absolutely no wait and the service was prompt. I can't stress enough just how cool everyone who works here seems to be-- yet another effect of the craft culture I suppose. The food is also damn good. It's mostly hearty, burger based fare-- the kind of stuff that goes oh so well with a fine brewed beverage. The shoestring fries are good munching. My brisket sandwich was pretty loaded and more than adequate to satisfy my immense hunger. They do have a selection of tacos and veggie burgers for your lighter eaters. The prices are pretty reasonable and hardly outside of the range of your average craft beer drinker. It's gonna be a good season of sports with a place like this to retreat to.

I had the beginning festivities of my 21st birthday party at OHSO. We had a dinner and were able to reserve tables for my group. They were very easy to work with and even let us set out decorations and bring our own cake!! Some places don't let you bring outside food in - so it was so great that they let us bring our own cake because it was custom made and beautiful. OHSO has the best mojitos I have ever had. They have a great atmosphere outside in the back which is where we were. The food is awesome. I would definitely make it a regular spot to eat and drink
(4)Laura M.
What a fabulously fun patio! We had such a great time drinking, eating, and enjoying the people watching (a GOAT! Someone seriously brought their pet goat.), that it was hard to leave. We shared the Green Chili Pork Tacos and I am OBSESSED with them. Absolutely to die for. They came with a slaw that really complemented the spice and gave them nice texture. We also had the Chicken BBQ flatbread pizza. Tasty, but the tacos remained the star of the meal. The hummus was another good choice that our friends shared with us. I had a couple of the 48th Street Fizz cocktails - they were strong and absolutely delicious. This is a great place to hang out with friends and grab a bite to eat that is above your typical bar food fare. It can be a bit of a scene, but that is part of the fun when it comes to people-watching, right?!
(4)George G.
I recently had lunch here and tried the veggie burger. It was the best I've ever eaten, moist, full of flavor! No ketchup required.
(5)Mark N.
Great atmosphere and patio with bring your dog encouraged and get a treat from your server. I had a great deal with their happy hour pitchers for six bucks. The pizza and pulled pork were both good
(4)Christina P.
Still a fan because I love the beer selection, and the venue. But, I want to update because the gnocchi has gotten a little chef-boy-ardee-ish. Not inedible but not as impressive as it once was... so, I guess, I retract my love for the gnocchi but there's still a lot to love about this place!
(4)Daniel M.
Been coming here for awhile and feel like the costumer service is on the decline. Pulled up asking where to park that didn't require valet, was told "not here" so had to park across the street and cross Indian school with no crosswalk. Once we were in the patio we were told a 40 minute wait for a table for two. So we took a seat at the bar and immediately afterwards 3 tables opened up in which no one was seated at until after our food arrived (30 minutes later). Food was good but the management needs to work on how the business is being run. Doubt I will be back for a long time.
(2)Sharon G.
Where else can you get a small pitcher of decadent white chocolate beer on tap for $6?! A large group of us took over the room by the back patio to celebrate the return of a friend. It was dark in there and beautiful outside so I spent some time at the front bar chatting it up with random people. I'm glad I did that because I wouldn't have enjoyed sitting inside in that dark room on a gorgeous fall day in Arizona. I purchased the pitcher of beer at the bar. Our waitress (tall, blonde hair) was obviously upset that I didn't order from her, but the bartender advised me to ignore her. (Good advice). I learned from friends that the waitress had neglected to tell our group about the pitcher special. One pint of beer is $5 and the pitcher with 2.5 -3 pints is $6. That's a great deal, but $5 for a pint during happy hour- not so much. So what did people in my group do? They ordered the $5 pint not knowing about the pitcher deal until I told them. That is NOT good service on the waitress's part, but I'm rating 4 stars instead of 2 because of that delicious beer and nice bar/patio atmosphere so close to home. *Side note* $6.50 for a small bowl of over cooked shoestring fries is about as ridiculous as a $5 pint during happy hour! Get real with your pricing O.H.S.O.!
(4)Kim Y.
We have tried the beers from O.H.S.O several times at different beer festivals across AZ so when we FINALLY made it to the eatery/brewery I was super excited to say the least. I LUV this place, beer is great, service has always been great and the food falls right in line....we have gone for both dinner and the Sunday brunch both equally perfect. If you have a chance I would recommend you put this one on your must try list.
(4)Heather G.
$10 for a mimosa and brunch. Breakfast sandwich: bacon cooked perfectly crispy, the blend of guacamole and applewood smoked bacon is a true pleasure. The perfect breakfast treat! The steak and eggs was a larger portion than expected and the chimichurri sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I'm surprised it was not more busy! They have a dog friendly back patio. Honestly, how amazing is that? The service was attentive and the options of beers is impressive. You must try as many as you can before you commit to one. It's a must try. If I lived in town if be here every Sunday.
(5)Nate P.
I visited OHSO three times before deciding to write this review to ensure what I feel is a fair review. Unfortunately, my experience was the same all three visits. Mediocre food at best. In all honesty I can only rate the food based upon one visit as the second visit I did not eat, and the third time the service was so bad we canceled our order and left. The service was terrible no matter if it was slow, busy, or somewhere in between. I am not sure what these four and five star reviews find so appealing about this establishment, however I found it a very unpleasant experience. There are too many superior ale houses, gastro pubs, and breweries in the area to waste time here.
(1)Anne W.
I went to OHSO with some friends for brunch yesterday and I am so glad I did! Their patio is awesome. I am so glad it is pet friendly too since I might get a dog sometime soon! Let me just say their brunch ROCKS! You get a choice of beer or a (huge) mimosa along with a meal choice for only $10 altogether! I had the breakfast flatbread and it was so huge I had alot of leftovers. It was very tasty. Our waitress was nice and very chill. I loved the casual atmosphere and the complimentary valet parking. I can't wait to go back to OHSO!!!
(5)Kristi M.
LOVE OHSO so much! Great food. Great beer. And super dog friendly with an awesome patio (my favorite part) 5 Stars for OHSO
(5)Corey C.
OHSO was a little better than so so. The wait was about 20 minutes longer than estimated, however wasnt too bad since we could grab some beers from the bar. The only problem was it took a good 10 minutes to get a beer. The selection of beer was great and the food average. My girlfriend ordered the burger gluten free which only meant no bun. Technically the title is correct, but a little misleading. The best thing about this bar is the pet friendly nature. Overall pretty good and looking forward to their new location closer to home for drinks.
(3)Apryl M.
This is definitely a place to write home about. Huge dog friendly patio with water bowls for your pup and homemade dog treats from the brewery spent grain. I love coming here on the weekend with my dogs for the $10 beer brunch and the all you can eat BBQ for $15 after 3 on Sundays. You will be addicted. It's a huge bicycle culture bar and restaurant - the decorations are awesome and the wheels of the bikes that line the patio actually have WORKING FANS in them. Best idea ever. Also, if you snap an adorable photo of your dog and put it on their facebook you are entered to win a $25 giftcard to O.H.S.O. hashtag profit, am I right?

New to Phoenix, my boyfriend and I enjoy custom brews and good, inexpensive dining. We found O.H.S.O in an online search of restaurants near our home. We were pleased when we arrived to see that this establishment is dog-friendly (providing water dishes, a spacious back patio, and homemade dog biscuits) since we are a two-tail family. While we did not bring our animals the first trip, we will in the future. The atmosphere is cozy - well-lit but soft lighting; the music has a wide variety and is kept loud enough to hear but low enough to talk reasonably; the building is clean, modern, and has a good lay out; and heated patios (in the winter) are a nice bonus feature. The price, for a night out for two with drinks, was reasonable. We were both pleased by the beer selection. The prices were a little high but not terribly so considering the place features local, small breweries. There was an average selection of food, although the menu is limited. I wished there'd been more options for vegetarian or vegan. The establishment could pull in a lot more business (and I'd be able to recommend to more friends) if they offered more than one veggie burger and a few salads for vegetarian/vegan selections. Of the veggie burger (which I had)... delicious and moist, very flavorful. My boyfriend hoovered his fish and chips to indicate how pleased he was with the meal. All-in-all, I'd recommend this place and return.

One word: Brunch Sure you could come here for HH on Fridays (as there are always a large number of cute single ladies here). Sure you could come to dinner. I just don't know why you would! O.H.S.O is a brunch place period. A top 2 Mimosa in the Valley without question! Back Patio! Forget about it. INSANE!!!! I used to come here when it was "Black Forrest Mil" bar for dancing, and now that it has been totally revamped, I come here for the amazing back patio they added and great beer selection, mostly local to the AZ area is a big plus for us local boys. And now... a game for you to play! Everytime to you go... Create an acryonym for O.H.S.O and leave it as tip. I've played this game on FourSquare for years, but since Yelp is so much more amazing, I have to bring the tradition over here as well... Some previously made acronyms we've come up with are... Obviosly Hot Sexy Occupants Other Humans Steal Olives Outlandish Hominids Sucky Oxygen Owning Honest Shiny Oysters Outlandish Hyper Sensitive Orks Orangutangs Have Sweetened Oranges Etc.. Please enjoy the acronym game here by leaving them as tips!

Yummy! Best patio in the valley

I've been to Ohso numerous times and always generally enjoy it but it's not usually my first choice because their vegetarian options are very limited. I love beer, bikes, dogs, and good patios though so in most regards it's my style. Last night, I had a very poor experience here. I always order either kale and pear salad or the veggie burger (because as mentioned there are really no other veg options), last night I had the kale and pear. It was 98% wilted arugula and maybe 2 pieces of kale. The service was also quite poor. They're always busy so the service is never great. I will think twice before going back there for a while. Also, order sweet potato fries, the regular ones have a particular quality similar to cardboard.

OHSO has always been the neighborhood hangout I get most excited about-- the amazing beer selection, delicious food, and unbeatable patio atmosphere have always rocketed it to the top of my list. Little did I know a week ago that my love for OHSO could grow even more! Last week, one of my medical student classmates suggested a class get together at Postino's. Since it was a transitional week in medical school, we all had an very forgiving schedule-- So our dinner group quickly grew to 21. Postino's said there was no way they could seat even 10, nonetheless 21. We panicked and started brainstorming other places that might be able to squeeze us in. I suggested my favorite place, OHSO, and called just a couple of hours before dinner to see if I could make a reservation. The hostess had no problem taking my reservation. When we arrived, we had a whole room to ourselves, with our own private patio. There were 21 glasses of water waiting for us, and the waiter successfully managed all of our split checks. I ordered my favorite drink-- St. Louis Framboise, and then tried the Arizona Burger for the first time. I have always heard good things, but have been working my way through OHSO's menu, and just hadn't tried this option yet. The Arizona Burger was unbelievable. Hands down the best burger I've had in Phoenix. I had always loved OHSO's food, but the Arizona Burger, with it's jalapenos and cream cheese, has taken first place on my list. Every single person absolutely loved OHSO and I think it became a favorite food/beer destination for all of them! I was thrilled that such a popular place could be so accommodating and tolerant of large groups. Way to go, OHSO!!

I really like O.H.S.O. Made sure that we got here in time for happy hour and to get a place on the patio. Walking in there are doggie treats for free, should you have a doggie! The smell of pretzels, I am assuming, wafts thru the place and gives you the want for a large pretzel and beer. Free valet and friendly hops to take your ride away. The pitchers of any Arizona brews are $6 ... Good price on the smaller pitcher for two and a good way to get a sampling without too much of a commitment. COULD have been alot colder. Nothing worse than beer that isn't icy.. in my opinion, at least. We started with apps of the hh smaller bites. I loved the pretzel and cheese dip/fondue. Could have given me a warm pitcher of that! We also had the OHSO Green Chile Dip ..not a thing wrong with it and the yucca chips are a treat. I'm a fan with the exception of the beer not icy thing and letting my water go dry. Picky picky! But a huge offering of brews on a nice patio is a good, good thing!

This place has a really cool vibe. Sunday mornings are great for hang-over breakfast. And any weeknight (when it is not too busy) is great for patio dining. The patio is dog-friendly, which I appreciate. Oh, and the food... the food is delicious. I get the OHSO salad with steak. Very good. The tacos are also pretty bomb. They serve Omission gluten free beer - a huge plus for me! I would give it 5 stars if it didn't get so incredibly crowded Sunday mornings. But then again, pretty much every breakfast place in Arcadia is packed on Sunday mornings. Sigh, oh well.

If you're going for beer and sunshine, by all means, go. If you're looking for friendly, personable and helpful service and bartenders, there are TONS of other cool-vibe and delicious- casual friendly places to eat (close by and in old town Scottsdale). Best thing on the menu is the cheese burger.-all their food tastes fresh. But to hang out, mingle, check out the dogs and enjoy the sunshine, you will wait forever for a drink, forever to get the bartender's attention...you begin to feel like a crank because you and your group starts to complain about the poor service--it's better to get drinks somewhere else OR get a table. Even when you have a table, the servers are super slow. I won't spend one more dime or hour of mine here ever again.

On Sundays they have the most amazing backyard bbq. All you can eat for 15 dollars! Amazing chicken, ribs, and brisket as well as potato salad, coleslaw, and corn bread! Seriously so delicious, it is a must try if you are in the area! I have been on multiple occasions and no matter how busy the service is always great and the food is fantastic. The back patio is the best because of the dogs but the whole restaurant is wonderful. There is a huge selection of beer and you can brew your own with them!

Five stars without a doubt. My favorite spot in the Valley. They offer dog treats from their spent beer grains. Their beer is mediocre, but the service and experience more than makes up for it. Plus, they let ASH members put their beer on tap. VERY friendly to home brewers, and that's what counts! For me, this is Heaven.

I went here with a large group last night for a birthday celebration...it was bar #2. We had 8 people there and the people at OHSO were very accommodating for our party. We sat on the patio, which was nice. I actually only had food at this place, so can't comment on the drinks, but I split their bbq burger with the BF and I thought it was really good! Now, it may be because I was drinking, but I ate my half burger so fast it was ridic. This bar has a very relaxed atmosphere and the waiter didn't try to hurry us out, even when the drinking had slowed down. I would definitely go here again! PS I want to try a beer breakfast....what an awesome idea!
(4)Jen W.
I absolutely love this place, the food is amazing and the beer is excellent. The owner and managers are always willing to stop and chat and want your feedback. My boyfriend and I recommend OHSO to everyone we meet and are normally there a few times a weeks. We love bringing our friends and our dogs to OHSO every chance we get. The best part is it's only 3.5 miles from our house.

I guess the little 'R' icon means I'm a regular here - well I am. Four visits in the last month is about as regular as it gets for me (two of them in the same weekend as requested by my out-of-town visitors). After running along the canal for months seeing the words "Friendly Dog Patio" painted near the back, it was only a matter of time before my pup and I dropped by. We're both big fans! The wine and beer selections are terrific, and the meatless choices are abundant. Of the hummus, guac, yucca chips, flatbread, veggie burger, fries, arepas, and salads - I have yet to find something that hasn't been delicious. We're not talking epic creative fusion cuisine here, just above-average pub grub. The mixed drinks are okay, but most of them are on the sweet side which isn't my thang. Happy hour prices are spectacular and we've had some stellar service to boot (enough to make up for a couple of service hiccups). That fifth star awaits the back patio being open during the week. It's glorious with a view facing Camelback Mountain and set under the canal. The front patio view is well...the parking lot. Since I will likely always be outside with my dog, I'd rather not butt up to a piping hot grill. But I will give bonus points for having dog treats and a canine watering station. Woof woof hooray!

This time I brought my dog and we sat on the patio. The staff was so great about making sure she had water and dog treats. It's so nice to bring your dog to a place and have her feel welcomed!!! The umbrellas were up and misters were on-bring on summer!! Service overall was very friendly and we were even offered water cups to go as it was so hot out today! Thanks!! As usual, food was delicious as was the beer. I enjoyed the beet salad with Mammas little yellow pils, and my sister got the grilled cheese and grapefruit wheat. This place has definitely become one of my favorites.
(5)Kaleigh B.
Haven't tried the food, but really liked the beer and sangria. Great place to take dogs. OHSO thinks of everything. They have dog showers, water bowls, homemade dog treats, carabiners at each table so you can hook the leash to it and relax. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to going back.

Brunch and drinks. ... do I need to say more! Brunch is $10 for entree and beer/mimosa. This is a great deal for everyone. The staff at O.H.S.O. are so friendly and helpful with drink selections. They have lot's of beers on tap for you to choose from. If you are not a beer drinker, they offer a great list of mixed cocktails. The Arcadia, The Mule, The Sangria....well everything on their cocktail menu is delicious! They offer a great Grill Cheese with Fontina Cheeses and apple wood smoked bacon. For Brunch, I have tried the Breakfast Flabread and Breakfast Grilled Cheese. Both amazingly good! The patio is the best place for any time of the day to meet up with friends and it's dog friendly.
(4)Kat Z.
This has become a staple and meeting place for my boyfriend and I - after spending too much time trying to figure out where to eat, we always know that OHSO will be a good meal with good beer. I have not had an item on the menu that has not been good, nor has anyone we've been with. They have very good beer selection, I was excited to try Up the River Lager and get that almost every time since it's not readily available in Phoenix. The back patio is a great area to sit and I love the diversity of people who come here, dog lovers, bike riders, families, hipsters, after work crowd. Last time I went, they had their microbrews available and I tried the grapefruit, which I was actually disappointed by it. This, of course, will not stop me from going there, as they have other great locals brews to try.

Over the weekend I had been told about this great new, slightly trendy brewery called OHSO,so when my friend was looking for somewhere to go for St. Patrick's Day that would not be as crazy as the traditional Irish pubs, I suggested we try here. The friend that referred me to OHSO did let me know that he had encountered some difficulty with their texting system for seating people, so to be aware of some technical difficulties, but that the food, beer, service, etc. made up for it. As I was a few minutes away, my friend texted me that parking was difficult, but that there was valet and that helped. I arrived about 10 minutes after her and sat in front of the valet station (where I was almost backed into by someone in a handicap spot right next to the valet who didn't notice a car 1 foot behind his/her bumper and required me to hold my horn down to prevent a t-boning incident in the parking lot). I sat at the valet station for ~ 5 minutes waiting to be acknowledged while I watched the valets run back and forth to help other people. At first I thought I was being punished for honking my horn (& keep in mind that since I couldn't move my car, neither could the person trapped in the handicap spot, even though I had scooted as far forward as possible to still be by valet and try to let the car out). Finally a valet approached my car and told me that they had closed valet service (keeping in mind it was 7:30 p.m.) and that I could go to the back and try to find something myself. I'm glad someone finally told me, but to close so early, what??? So, I drove to the back to fight for parking, which was restricted, annoying, and now had made me late to dinner because of my wait time, etc. But, all of that aside, I decided to go in and enjoy my meal. I wasn't sure if it would be crowded due to the holiday and there appeared to be an event (meet-up type?) outside with people in green & name tags, but my friend had already been seated and the restaurant itself did not look that crowded. I ordered a soda, a drink, and a meal. For some reason, any type of beverage appeared to be something my server could not remember, as my soda was thrown down as an afterthought and I had to remind him about my drink, which came about mid-meal. So much for ordering additional beverages throughout the night! I should have probably ordered a burger, but thought I would order the chicken salad sandwich to balance out my fries (it made logical calorie sense in my head, I swear). The fries were passable, but the sandwich was probably something I could have done at home. My friends swear that I need to give this place another chance and despite our service, the valet drama, and the semi-o.k. food, I'm not sure if this will be on the top of my list for a while until I decide to maybe return and try a burger??

I love OHSO!! The husband and I bike along the canal often and get sucked into the fun ambience of OHSO. They are a bike and dog friendly bar and restaurant, and they really mean it! They have a whole wall dedicated to their biker customers with locks and several tools for all your bicycle needs. They have a lot of bike parking right off of the canal next to the outdoor patio. I was so surprised to see the amount of dogs that people brought! They just hangout in the booths, either on the floor or in the seat or even underneath the booths. OHSO provides free dog treats and water bowls to keep your dog happy. We came to brunch on a Sunday, so of course they had all the football games playing around the bar. OHSO has a great Sunday brunch special which includes a 10 oz beer and a choice of one of their brunch dishes for $10. Even without the special their normal prices are awesome, with pitchers of quality beer for only $9! We got the breakfast flatbread and a pitcher of Orange Blossom, that's from Papago brewery, and omg they were both delicious. The orange blossom had a unique taste of oranges and a hint of vanilla, it was hard not to chug all of it immediately! The flatbread was amazing, it had eggs, spinach, Spanish chorizo and much more I can't remember. You could taste the great quality of the ingredients they used! I saw a LOT ( i mean a lot) of people get the biscuits and gravy, which you would think is ordinary but they put a classy twist on the dish, I will definitely try it next time, it looks so good! The couple next to us also had bloody Mary's and it looked amazing too! Ill try that next time too! I plan to know OHSO like the back of my hand within the next few years because its an amazing place and we live very close! Can't wait to come back!

Neither my hubby or I liked this place. Our food was not tasty- we were thinking, "jeez-I'm paying someone to cook this??" And although my hub liked his beer, I didn'tike mine. We'll go elsewhere.
(1)Boom Y.
Had the Arizona burger and the brisket and they were excellent. We drank the Arcadia and the Jensen and we loved them. The atmosphere was great and the service was incredible. Our server was Megan and she was impressive and pleasant. We had a great time and we'd come back again in a heartbeat.

Okay, it has taken me a long time to write this review because I am feeling very guilty. When I walked out of O.H.S.O. a bald guy by the door on a computer asked us how our meal was, truly showing how much he cared about the bar. I lied. I told him it was great and I walked out. I feel SO GUILTY. I wish I had said something to him. So, here it is... A letter to the management: We came to O.H.S.O. based on friend's recommendations and reviews I kept seeing in Phoenix magazine. I really wanted to LOVE this place. We even came for our 4th anniversary!!!! I, unfortunately, do not think we will be back. We ordered the Prosciutto flatbread and the Brisket Burger along with 2 beers, and 3 tester beers throughout the meal (Sonoran white chocolate, luge be chocolate milk, ohso orange nitro, double jack, hop box imperial ipa). Sonoran and Nitro were good, the Chocolate milk was meh and the Jack and Imperial were yummy (says the boyfriend). The Prosciutto flatbread sounded amazing. Prosciutto, broccolini, garlic pomodoro, you can't go wrong!!! It did. The flatbread came out as my meal and it looked like a meal for a lumberjack. It was packed with a chunky meat and was impossible to look hot eating this thing, during our anniversary dinner. Of course I expected shaved prosciutto, like probably 99% of the customers expect. I saw this thick cut sliced prosciutto that looked like and tasted like canadian bacon. I get that O.H.S.O. wanted to go different; this was different, but not better. It would be great if it was regular thinly sliced prosciutto, so you could savor ALL the flavors at once instead of feeling like your eating meat and bread. This was clearly a dish that was made by men in a kitchen. Extra meat does not always mean better, and making it so hefty negates a huge number of women from wanting to order it. If the food is too cumbersome, I don't want to eat it. Especially on my anniversary. Next the Brisket burger... ::sigh:: It was just a disappointment. We knew it was stupid to order brisket after we had the best brisket ever in New Orleans for the holidays. But my boyfriend was craving it so he ordered it. Again, someone that owns the place, or someone in the kitchen decided that regular brisket was not good enough. So pulled brisket was apparently the way to go. No dude. Brisket means sliced with that pink smoke ring. Pulled brisket shows people that the kitchen doesn't know that or does not have the smoke ring and wants to rip the meat apart so you don't see it. Plus, it was bathing, NAY soaking in the tub of sauce which just intensifies the idea that there is no confidence in the meat or the smoking of the meat, so why not mask it in sauce. That was almost like when your mom would make a meal as a kid, and she'd mess up and it would be bad, so she'd just whip out the ketchup and squirt it on. I had previously repressed that memory of my mother, until O.H.S.O. Once again, another man meal. Way too heavy, and not much care taken to prep. I feel bad, because someone put amazing flavors together in their head. But not being confident in the flavors allowed someone to try to tweak something in each plate that was supposed to be awesome and just makes the whole meal fail. Go back to basics and then test stuff one at a time. I would NEVER go back for the food, ever, even though the menu looks amazing. Bring a trained chef or a woman in to show you what's up, and show you that each food item is WAYYY too heavy. I even watched a salad go by that would dwarf Elaine's "Big Salad", it was a beast. It's not even like we're pansy eaters too. We're both 6 foot+ and can put away footlong subs in one sitting. But when going to O.H.S.O. I don't want to feel like I just put away a footlong sub. Plus, food that heavy decreases beer sales because people get too full too quickly. I really am rooting for this place and I want it to succeed. But some menu revamping needs to happen. 52% of the population is women and the food is way too heavy for us. Great look, great interior, great decor on the walls, I love seeing the tanks and people making beer to the side. If I opened my own bar I would have done the SAME THING, same look, same feel. Except the menu. I will come back if the menu is revamped. Otherwise, we'll save the trek from Laveen.

Love Steven. Such a good server we will always ask for him every time we come to ohso!
(5)Devin M.
I was there this last Sunday...I live right down the street, and I love the different bars and restaurants in my area. We decided to check out OHSO for the first time. We were promptly seated on the patio, and it was beautiful......And we sat and waited, and waited, and waited. I even asked a staff member if he was our server, his response was, "Probably not" , and walked off. After waiting nearly 15 minutes , and watching the staff walk by numerous times we decided to leave. The place looks bomb, and I am sure it is great, if you can get service.

O.H.S.O. is one of the many declining restaurants that is propped up by good food and a wide selection of beers and being dragged down by poor service. I once went there for breakfast and had a waiter that was really spacey and inattentive. He had to be reminded of orders and things he forgot more than once. When I pointed out that fruit on my plate was moldy he took the single moldy piece of fruit off the plate ant set it back on my table reminding me that sometimes these things happen. Really? I've never been served moldy food before. That is disgusting and the completely wrong attitude. I took that experience as a red flag, but didn't think it was damning. Yet another visit clued me in that my money is better spent elsewhere. I went one night and sat in the bar one weeknight after the dinning room had closed. Just after I ordered food and drinks and group of people went from the bar to the patio to smoke. The patio opening is as wide as the patio so the smoke naturally blows into the bar. I mention the smoke to the bartender who brought our drinks and before I finished speaking she cut me off and said, "because you're sensitive?" in a completely inappropriate tone. I should have just left then and there. There is no excuse to be that rude to a guest. Our food comes and it's less than impressive. The fries in my order were recooked. When the waiter cleared our table he dropped the two uneaten cups of mustard that come with the pretzels on the floor. He was upset because he got mustard on his pants. He wasn't that upset that he'd gotten it on the floor which explains why he left it there. When I left the table I slipped and nearly fell from it. What kind of jackass just dumps something you could slip on in front of your table? I tried calling the restaurant to voice my discontent and no one would ever pick up the phone. I sent a message through a forum on their website. The response I got back was defensive and told me I should have talked to a manager that night. So should I have talked to the rude bartender or the guy to busy to clean up the mustard from the floor?!?! The message might as well have just been a suggestion of other restaurants to visit instead.
(1)Trevor E.
Came on Sunday for brunch and beer and I was very impressed with the venue, the menu, and the service. My sister and I both had a flat bread breakfast pizza (which we could have split). She had a mimosa and loved it and I had a beer... and then another beer... and then I had a growler filled. The beer was great all around, our server was awesome, and the patio (front) where we sat was really nice. I walked through the restaurant to the back patio and was very impressed with the restaurant and the back patio. I will certainly be back and am just looking for excuses to bring my wife and daughter (so one of them can drive home!).
(5)Joe B.
I was completely satisfied with the overall experience at this place... If we lived in the area, this would be our regular spot. Great outdoor set up.... Nice food / beer happy hour deals.. Worked out great for brunch. They have a lot of beers on tap, lots of other local beers as well. Great deal for ten bucks, food and a beer. Service was fine.. Food was fine.. Overall, good to go... Oh yeah, dog ad kid friendly.. Huge plus
(5)Suzy W.
Eat at home and come here for a great beer selection. Food looks good online but is disappointing to say the least.
(3)Jan S.
Fun place for a few beers and live music. It's a big space with a lounge-like room in the back for some good entertainment. I've heard mixed reviews on the food from good to meh but both times I stopped in were for the liquid meals. As for the beers of course there should be something of interest for just about anyone There is a pretty good beer selection from your ales, ipas, and lots of local flavor. Service was a little slow but overall okay. The bar is pretty big and open with plenty of seating. Will have to sample the food and stay a bit longer on my next visit.
(3)Tom N.
Flys flys flys did I say I don't like flys how can a bartender work with flys all over the counter. Brisket is like pulled pork slice don't pull bbq out of a jar first and last time here yuck
(1)Darren S.
Have been to this place during lunchtime. The service was great and always friendly. The food is great, from burgers to the flat bread pizza. Great selection of micro brews as well. Don't know what to order just ask the wait staff is very beer friendly.

As you may have read the "tip", you already know our experience was one of the saddest we have had since moving to the valley. So much so, that I created this yelp account just to express how terrible it was. Is the food good?? Don't know. It never arrived after waiting 30 minutes for a burrito. Is the beer (hefe) good? No. At least the first 10oz weren't. Never had waiter come back to try anything else. Poor service reflects poor management("louie" sp?), very pricey and in no way a brewery in my eyes. Steer clear and try Sun Up brewery instead! Waaay better beer, food, and outstanding service! Might give osho another shot someday when I'm not hungry or thirsty or have something to do or awake. Hope this helps fellow yelpers! Oh ya and if you're a blonde stripper/escort driving a fancy Mercedes you'll get valet to park it right at the door, priority order service, and skip the valet wait line at pick up! Now that's a classy joint! UPDATE...... Contacted by actual manager ,the day after posting, seeking resolution. That's a big deal in my book! Looking forward to returning and giving OHSO another try. Stay tuned for the next update..
(1)Stephanie S.
I've been to OHSO several times now and each time our service has been horrendous. First time-sub par Second time-we left because no one had paid any attention to us in the 30 minutes we sat on the patio. Third time-thought I would give it another try when my dad asked where I wanted to meet him for dinner. I was embarrassed at my recommendation at the end of the night due to our poor service. We had incorrect orders, empty water glasses, slow service all around. Bottom line-the food is decent(the burger was great but everything else just eh), the location is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. However the poor service makes me not want to go back. Ever.
(1)Joel G.
GF and I walked over for dinner. I had pork tacos she had steak tacos. We also ordered a cheese plate. The food was as good as ever, maybe could have been a little hotter from oven. We took a while to decide on drinks but finally settled on the mixed ones. I know the beer aficionados will cringe, because this place has an awesome selection of craft brews...we just felt like something different. If you like dogs, you will love this place. We sat on the back patio. Service was so-so but they were very busy so we understood. So, if you bring your dog and don't like others feeding it, be warned...I saw it happen a few times behind the owners back.
(4)Jordan W.
I hate to write bad reviews. Ohso has soooo many pros: great patio, typically top notch service for a beer bar, dog-friendly, excellent beer selection, great Arcadia location. But I've been to Ohso dozens of times and their food is simply not good. I cannot go to Ohso hungry anymore... Sure I could drink more beer but It shouldn't be that hard to have something appetizing aside from the Ohso Green Chile dip! Especially as a beer guy, I hate to write this but don't go to Ohso if you want to eat even decent food. Nothing on the menu is worth eating.
(2)Melanie H.
delicious beers and good food. I've only been twice and very surprisingly, this place never seems to get very busy - at least inside. They let you bring your dog as long as you stay at the back bar. I moseyed outside the first time I was there and it was a very cute setup with doggie water dishes lined up along the wall.
(3)Ashley M.
Best Beer Brunch! Love the tasters. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable. You can brew your own beer too! Love my cousin for sharing this hidden gem.
(4)Phil S.
My family and I went for an early mother's day brunch to celebrate the mom's in our lives. We were given our pick of the tables and given great service with our large party. Everyone enjoyed their meal, besides that people who got the "Biscuits and Beer Gravy"... TOO MUCH PEPPER in the sausage. YUMMY biscuit, and all the meals came with a choice of a beer or mimosa. I chose the mimosa... PERFECT! My pregnant wife however was not able to enjoy one of the tasty mimosa's. Instead, she decided to get a soda. Much to our surprise, our bill came with 2 brunch combo's which included 2 drinks, and a charge for her soda... Long story short, the manager told us that they want to encourage drinking with brunch and that there are zero substitutes... They wouldn't budge for my pregnant wife or my 14 y.o. cousin. They said to "give it to someone else at the table". We asked to have the additional beverages comp'd (2 sodas $4.50...20 cents each @cost). We were told no again, and given our checks back. Poor logic, management, and customer service. I get it, it's a brewery what do you expect. I would expect some type of accommodation or option given the family based neighborhood they are located in, and trying to attract the "Brunch" crowd. Their wait staff was great and did everything they could to find alternatives to the drink situation... Regardless of cost, have some type of substitution, know your margins, and please your customers! My family of 14 will not be returning for brunch again, or for a late night beer.
(2)Christa C.
Came to try out the $10 brunch special. There was a little bit of a wait which I found to be odd since there appeared to be plenty of seating available. We found a spot at the bar. My french toast was pretty good and I like that they give you the choice of beer or mimosa. I realize we came in at a somewhat busy time on a Sunday but I wished the bartender was more engaging/enthusiastic. The servers were nice though, they were running drink orders but still had to the time to explain to me the meaning of the name: "outrageous homebrewers social outpost" and the way the brew-your-own beer works. Talked to a nice couple who had just brewed their first batch and had come in to taste it/enjoy on draught. The concept is quite innovative/unique/cool...you come in, pay $50 to brew, pick your flavors, start your brew, they ferment it for you, feature it on draught, and then give you a $50 gift card to buy your beer or any others that are on draught. I didn't bring my dog with me but like/appreciate the dog-friendliness of the establishment and took one of their "to-go" treats home for him. He liked it. Wish I was staying longer in PHX otherwise I would've started brewing my own beer!
(4)Ricky M.
OHSO has a great beer selection with not only there own brews but other brews throughout Arizona they also have a full bar if craft beer isn't your thing. I didn't get to try any of there food but it all sounded pretty good and looked good from what i could see. I will be coming back next time I am in the area.
(4)Kristin E.
Pretty ok. I had been wanting to try this place and was in the area today. Had the pastrami sandwich and it was very yummy. Interesting ambiance. Definitely feels like a bar inside. Patio dining much better. Very casual. Good beer selection. Our server Megan didn't seem to like us very much... I like it when we have a friendly and fun server. Won't go out of my way to come back. Prefer San Tan and Four Peaks.
(3)Mike D.
OSHO is great. It's fun to hang out on the patio when there is good weather (bring your dog!) or even when the weather is very hot. That's because the whole patio is surrounded by fans and has one of the best misting systems I've seen. The food is pretty good and the beer selection is great. I always have a good time here. The only downside would be that it's quite out of the way but that's just an excuse to extend your stay when you make it out there.
(4)Shawn R.
We fell in love with O.H.S.O. immediately and we've been coming to OHSO regularly for some time with our kids for their $10 beer brunch on the weekends. I love their breakfast burrito on the beer brunch menu. On the regular menu my favorite is the brisket burger with a pitcher of something local or regional. O.H.S.O. is a great example of a locally owned restaurant supporting local breweries (while working on their own) and other local community organizations.
(5)Patrick W.
Just like Papago Brew, but with better beer, better food and WAY BETTER service. Seriously, these guys know whats up. Great happy hour on the local AZ beers at $6 for a pitcher (just over 2 beers). They have an excellent selection and variety *gasp of beer on draft, but have the tendency to run out of beers rapidly. I would consider this to be a good thing because they will always be getting a new, fresh keg of something delicious. Food is excellent and there is a variety of meat and veg dishes from which to choose. Most importantly, you order and they bring it promptly. 5 stars because they have an awesome sour beer on draft...Petrus aged Pale. If you go to OHSO, do yourself a favor and give it a try.
(5)Jennifer M.
Brunch? Yes, please!! More please!!! Bicycles, pups galore, and beer... Oh my! The patio space hugging the canal and looking up to Camelback Mountain is one of my favorite places to meet friends for brunch, with my most loyal friend, my dog! By far one of the most dog friendly patios in town, this Arcadian spot is both equal parts dog friendly bar and darn good bar. I order the orange ale, nearly every time, and have made my way through most of the brunch items - I haven't been disappointed yet! Edie snubs their cookies (she snubs pretty much anything other than meat or cheese snacks), and the servers always welcoming my being me a piece of prosciutto from the kitchen so she can still have OHSO treats. I may be a little more loyal to OHSO now, too, for they validated my obsession with how cute I think my dog is by awarding her one of their "Growler of the Week" recognitions! All in all, it's a smart, sweet spot, and it's fun to plan a Sunday Funday of tossing my pup on my bike and pedaling down the canal for scrumptious bites and brew! Biscuits and beer gravy are delicious and they constantly dare me to order them... and they are a worthy reason to pop out of one's denim.

OHSO has really gotten its shit together! I love their crafty cocktails, my SO loves the endless beer list, and the food is fantastic. In the meantime, it's also become a McDonaldland playhouse for bratty Arcadia spawn. The last three times we've gone, there have been screaming (I mean, getting-beheaded-screaming) children and kids running loose all over the place, darting between tables like it's their personal playground. (Always a wise decision in the presence of drinking adults and servers carrying breakable and/or hot things.) Throw this on top of the fact that the place is intrinsically extremely loud, and you have a totally obnoxious experience. Next time we're craving the veggie burger and pork sandwich, it's takeout time.

This is my favorite watering hole in the Phoenix area. I have been going to OHSO for the past 7 months and every time has been a great experience. All the staff is friendly and the food/beer selection is amazing. The back patio is my favorite part, because of all the furry customers (dogs). I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a quick beer, nice date, family dinner or just getting together with friends.

If you had asked me a month ago, I would have given this place 5 stars. Sadly, after my second visit, I feel the need to write this review. The food and beer selection at O.H.S.O. is pretty great, which is why I didn't give them 1 star. In fact, my first time here was pretty good. I thought this would be a go-to when I come to town, but then I had dinner there this past week, and well, I'm never going back. Now, I admit, I'm a picky eater and I like to modify my dinner. I live in LA, where almost every single person I know modifies in some form or fashion, and it's rare for that to be an issue. You would think a restaurant in a city as big as Phoenix would see a lot of that, too. However... When it came time for me to order my meal, I started to explain that I would prefer my pizza with no cheese, and a few other items off of it. The last time I had been there, this was not a problem at all, and that server was happy to help me. THIS time, I unfortunately was served by Brooke, who not only didn't help me, but she served up a healthy portion of her less-than-helpful attitude. Upon ordering, she told me "You could do that - but it's not gonna taste very good" (in a pretty b****-y tone, mind you). That's funny - I don't remember asking her opinion of what I wanted to eat! I've actually worked in the service industry before, and there is a way to let a customer know that a certain dish might not be as palatable that doesn't include a rude and condescending tone. Little did she know that I had eaten the same exact dish a month prior and enjoyed it thoroughly. In a town that has a lot of restaurants, I hope this is a lesson to treat customers like you prefer they come back again, and appreciate their business while they are there.

Really unique. Predict big things moving forward. Going to be a historic local spot when they introduce their new "Brew With Us" deal where you get to sign up to make custom brews with their brewmasters. Place is awesome for food and beers. Awesome, that they literally brew in the restaurant if that's what you would call this place. So unique. Must visit. Never seen a "nano" brewery like this. Totally Arizona bred and born. Oh-So is def. not so-so. Check it out.

Mmmm, OHSO. I don't drink beer, but they have delicious cocktails and food. Plus, it's dog friendly, so I get to hang out with dogs. I don't have my own, so I live vicariously through the people on the dog patio. Thanks for sharing your dogs with us dogless folks! The food and drinks are prepared well and are good quality. There is ample space-indoor and out. Doesn't get much better than that! It can be pretty loud inside, so don't go there if you're looking to have a ton of great converstaion.
(4)Cindy K.
When they say it's "Dog friendly" they aren't kidding! We thought we'd be turned away since we didn't have Roxy with us! HAHA Great people/dog watching patios!
(4)Ramona A.
First time there and it was awesome. Brought my dog and he was taken care by the wait staff right away with a bowl of water. The place had a great relaxed feeling and friendliness. The mountain views help make that feel too. The food was quick and very good. Portion size was great. The drinks were filled constantly. Only issue was the parking.
(5)Ryan J.
I stand corrected on the view of Camelback. Their back patio does a grand job showcasing that grand ungulate.
(4)Ryan S.
A friend and I decided to walk down here Sunday afternoon with her dogs to have a drink on their patio and I couldn't be happier with that decision. We really lucked out on the all you can eat BBQ (which included Ribs, pulled pork and Chicken) While it was all enjoyable - the chicken was by far my favorite part of the meal. As always, beer list is incredible and at $9 / pitcher, leaves you without much to complain about. I recommend this place and will be back on a Sunday sometime soon.
(5)Dennis A.
I really like OHSO! I love the huge and locally focused beer selection, I love the bike theme, I love the the way they embrace the canal, (coolest fence EVER!!) I love the dog friendliness and I love the food! With all of this love, why 4, and not 5, stars? The service is kind of rough. I've been there 3 times and there is a frazzled attitude, bordering on hostile. Maybe I've just had bad luck but this is based on 3 visits. In the interest of fairness, I'll keep trying until they get it right though ;-)

7 years strong, I religiously drive down Indian School past the German Sausage Co. Recently, I started seeing some activity going on...and then one day - BAM!! A sign pops up: O.H.S.O. Eatery + nanoBrewery . I couldn't wait to try it out, and knowing it opened just TO-DAY...I jumped at the opportunity. 5 stars might be a bit pretentious, but I'm giving them an A for effort and 5 stars because honestly, I'd leave my office late....night after night ...after night....and would see these guys STILL working at 2 and 3am...just to get the place open. It's apparent there is some serious sweat equity, late nights and blue collar effort to get this place going. I highly respect this and give them props. Not to mention, I love the simplicity of the place. Yet, I can see it being the new, semi-non-trendy place to hang out. I know I'll be making it a recent stop. Rumor has it...they'll be renting out bikes (check them out as you walk in) and they offer mini-pitchers for $5 before 5 with tons of local beers on tap. It's nothing fancy, frilly or Scottsdale...it's casual and comfortable. My kinda place. So let's get down to business: Beers on Tap....they carry one of my girly favorites the White Chocolate Ale but this time I went for the Count Hopula and Nut Brown. Both great! The O.H.S.O. Amber was really good as well. Girls who might not be big beer fans might be a fan of the O.H.S.O. Raspberry Wheat although it was a bit light for my palette. Had some small bites, including the Brewers' Choice which was a mixture of your choice of 2 meats and 2 cheeses, accompanied by caramel popcorn, roasted nuts, bread & butter pickles, a homemade fruit roll up, cheddar crackers and fresh Italian bread. There was also a date/goat cheese butter that rocked and another assortment of roasted veggie/fruit relish. Great starter platter for sure. All the bread is made in-house! The Sharp Cheddar was awesome...the Red Dragon was basically a Mustard Seed cheese (don't choose this option if you hate whole grain mustard :) ) They have rotating meats but on the menu today was a Colorado Elk Sausage....AMAZING! Loved it. We also added the Crispy Calamari + Spicy Seared Ahi to our assortment. It was great with a citrus zest. Although next time, I need to try the marinated skirt steak. All in all, I believe this place will be an OH-SO great addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Kelly A.
I like OHSO a lot! It's not the best place to eat as the food is not the best and it's a bit expensive for what you get. However, I don't go to OHSO to eat...I go there to drink on the patio! The patio is very dog friendly and it's one of the better patios in Phoenix. They have a good list of local beers, craft beers, and mixed drinks. This is a nice place to meet with a group of friends and hang out for a while. I also appreciate how accommodating the staff has been. I went there to watch the presidential debate and the staff was very willing to put the debate on for me. I had already gone to a few other places and they refused to do it--so I really appreciated OHSO's flexibility on the manner. Bring your dog, a few friends, and go enjoy a drink on their patio.
(4)Lindsay T.
I wasn't crazy about this place the first time I went but after subsequent visits it has grown on me majorly. And for two reasons : the patio! And the amazing beer selection. I love that they give 3oz beer samples for $1. I tried several and they were all delicious. Add in the fact that the patio is VERY dog friendly- and frequently has good looking men at happy hour and you have one happy girl. My dog gets attention and I get buzzed and happy in the sun. Win win. The food is very very average, I suggest sticking with a few filling microbrews.
(4)Courtney B.
I took my Man out to brew and dine him, so we brew hoped and this was our first stop. We came here first because the food looked to be the best of all our planned stops. We ordered the brew plate and there was a lot to share. I liked everything, well except the cheese crackers, I don't like crackers that hurt my teeth and are not very flavorful. Some of the items were ok some were really good. The brie was legit, creamy creamy, the salami and prosciutto were great, the potato chip gouda was really good, the pita went well with everything, fruit roll up was awesome. Some of the things on the plate I was a little meh about was the strawberry cream cheese stuff, it tasted great, but like flavored cream cheese I could get from the grocery store, same with the nuts, they didn't do anything to make them special, the eggplant was too sweet. As far as the beer, 5 stars, the Hubby is an IPA fan so there were three he liked the angry bastard being his favorite and the dragoon being so-so, but not bad. I sampled the stout, oh it was great! Our waitress was very nice!
(4)Jen R.
I'd say 3.5 stars if I could. Really cool atmosphere. We chose OHSO as our happy hour destination due to it being dog friendly; they were. They have a "barking bar" where you can fill up a plastic container of water for your dog, and bags of dog biscuits. The servers even seemed used to doling out food with a dog laying between their feet. They did have a really good beer list. They were out of the White Chocolate Ale, which was what I'd been looking forward to, so I settled for an Arizona Peach instead. That was pretty depressing to me though, being out of a beer. - 1/2 star. The service was very hit-or-miss. The servers were a little standoffish until later, when ours seemed to have a change of heart and came over to say hi to my dog. It did take a little bit for things to come out. The bus boy never brought the box I requested either :/ -1/2 star again. We came to drink, but also had the spinach artichoke dip with crab; it was good, bit spicy on some bites with onion, but the crab was a nice topping choice. I wish there had been more pita bread, but I doubt it would have showed up had I asked for it. I know this isn't OHSO's fault either, but it was incredibly strange that there were so many kids there. It's happy hour... at a nanobrewery.... and I'm having to watch my pirate language because of the 8 year olds wearing Catholic school girl uniforms sitting one stool over. Awkward. Edit: I forgot to mention, the valet parking bit. There's maybe 15 spots that belong to OHSO. Otherwise, it's a mandatory valet parking job. This is just weird... I now feel obligated to tip someone to drive my car 10 feet away to a spot. The person who said "job creation" in a previous review was totally right. - 1/2 star for the atmosphere being... jarred and the valet parking weirdness.
(3)Bethanie L.
Great beer, good food! I have only ever had one item off their food menu... the burger. It is delicious and huge so I always return to it. Fries are perfect too. They have a great selection of beers. Happy hour is the best time to come-- $5 pitchers of several craft beers! Only thing that would be the icing on the cake is if they had some food specials for happy hour. Also, I have never had a problem with service here. Glad to have another great option in Arcadia!
(4)David R.
I am a big fan of O.H.S.O. Brewery & Eatery for many reasons. It has a very chill, hangout vibe to it; much more casual that a normal restaurant but nicer than a typical bar. They have a lot of different kind of seating which is nice so you can go with just two or large groups comfortably. They have a very large selection of rotating taps, including many other local Arizona brewery beers from Tempe, to Tucson to Sedona. They're happy hour apps. aren't amazing to be honest, but the price of pitcher beers is! I can't pick out a single favorite beer since they do have so many, so pick a few from the menu and have fun.
(4)Andrea K.
I wish I was a beer drinker. But alas, I am not. But the people that I was with on Friday were and they had nothing but great things to say about the beer selection. I had cider...which really doesn't tell you much. But I did try their sangria and I really wasn't impressed. It was pretty awesome that the owner, John, came up and chatted with us for a good half hour about the restaurant. It has only been open for 6 weeks and they are trying different things with the menu. The micro brewery won't be up and running for another 6-9 months, but the beers that they had were from breweries local and from the western side of the country. He also let my two friends try different types of beer to see what they would like. I only heard amazing things about the White Chocolate beer that they had. He also explained to me why I may had not like the sangria, which was also interesting. I did not have anything to eat while I was there, but I had to say that the ribs that our neighbors at the next table were having smelled AMAZING! (I am not a BBQ person by any means, so that to me was a big plus) My friend and I both commented that we had to try this place since we drove by it so many times. I can't wait to go back and try the food...and update the review! :)
(4)Ben H.
Great hangout place! Best of all are the 3 oz beer samplers for $1 - $2 each. Fun time trying all the beers. Cant wait to go back!
(4)Dan T.
great food and beer for 10 bucks cant beat that.
(5)Kendra S.
My boyfriend and I came here this past Friday night for dinner as we had both drive by the place quite often and have been wanting to try it out. The service was great and I liked the wide open space. We tried two different beer samples for a $1 each and settled on splitting a pitcher of Levitation which we both enjoyed. We ordered the green chile dip appetizer. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my boyfriend ordered the brisket. He LOVED the brisket and after taking a bite of it, I could see why. It was quite good. My shrimp tacos however, were so bland that I barely ate half of my meal. And it was a "small plate." I wasn't the biggest fan of our appetizer but after tasting my dinner, I decided I liked the dip a lot more and finished it off. Definitely do not recommend the shrimp tacos. One annoying thing was our meals came out right after our appetizer. A little time in between would have been good - but I'll take that over slow service any day. I'm giving this place four stars because of how great the brisket was and despite not liking my dish, I had a great time and think this place has lots of potential. I'll be back to try something else!
(4)Ae L.
The atmosphere is undeniable and one of the best in town! This is a great place to grab beer and some flatbread. They have a backyard and it is very chill and laid back. Best of all, you can bring the man's best friend! Go check out OHSO, where the beers are oh so good!
(4)Kelsey W.
This place is alright. Parking is so crowded you need to valet. Food is all pretty good. I've tried flat breads and burgers. The service inside is great, and because of this I'd happily come here when it's not so crowded (lunch or weekday dinner). However, on weekend nights it is disgustingly crowded. Last night we thought we'd try out the patio. Big mistake. There is a bar in the middle of it so that is the focus. It smells like a frat house, like beer spilled on the floor long ago and smoke (Is it legal to smoke in restaurants in AZ? Yuck. Is this 1985?). I wouldn't recommend the back patio unless you're trying to relive your frat days.
(3)Toryanni E.
Pretty cool atmosphere. The food was pretty good, looking forward to trying it again.
(3)J Marie S.
Stopped by for lunch and had the mahi and chips. Had to return to work so unfortunately could not enjoy a cold beer. But, back patio provided a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
(4)Kelly H.
This place is cool. I read some reviews and thought I would give it a shot. Great drinks, great patio, and friendly staff. Guess what, the bar was sticky but I asked them to wipe it off and they did! My burger was overcooked...and they brought me a new one! I am tired of reading from other yelpers complaining but not doing anything about it. 5 stars all day long.
(5)Nili A.
Good patio, great beer list, food was average.
(3)Marla R.
There are already 400+ reviews and a 4 star rating so I know that OHSO doesn't need another one, but I'm posting it anyway. This place is great! Friends, food, beer, great service, easy to bike to and dogs are not just welcome, but treated as guests - this place has it all. We were looking for a nice way to spend the evening with friends who live within a few miles of here, so we packed up our bikes and drove over to meet them. We all boarded our bikes and had a nice ride along the canal as the sun was setting. We locked up the bikes and noticed the outdoor dog wash, and free to borrow bike locks and bike tools as you go into the patio - they have thought of everything. There are also self serve dog bowls so that your pooch can have plenty of water to stay hydrated, and free baked on site dog treats that you can help yourself to. We didn't bring the dogs with us last night, but I took a doggie bag home for them and they were appreciative. Even thought it was close to 100 degrees last night, with the high power fans and the misters going, we were quite comfortable. The mister water dripped a bit on me and the table, but this is not fine dining with fancy clothes, this is bike in, drink a beer and enjoy some pub grub - so getting a bit damp was not a problem. I am not a beer aficionado, but the guys with us are, and they were happy with the choices (hoppy IPA and something called a quad - both gave me bitter beer face which means my husband likes it). I had a nice cool Framboise, and a local banana and apple cider. The bread board appetizer with meat and cheese and nuts and other goodies was great to whet our appetites for our main courses. i had a BBQ burger, ordered pink, and it came pink - perfectly done. The bacon on it was generous and had a great flavor. My husband had the green chile tacos and he was very happy - their tacos are make your own, which is more fun than having it all done up for you. One of our friends is going gluten free, and they have a special menu for that crowd. She was happy with her options and her shrimp tacos. I didn't get our server's name, but she was very thin young woman with a funky hairband. She was great. Even thought the place was busy with all of the tables and the bar full, she checked in on us often without being intrusive or annoying. The only negative is that this place is not closer to us.
(5)Dave T.
This place is awesome. The patios (one in the front and a much larger one in the back) are great. You can even bring your dog(s) to hang out! The service is great. The Happy Hour is amazing: $6 for a pitcher of delicious beer...yes please. The food is incredible, especially the burgers. Perfect for right after work.
(5)Tina B.
This place has amazing flat breads! Loved their beer sampler options and the patio for dogs was very unique (to bad I don't have a dog!) I will need to come back soon.
(4)Dave W.
We took mom there for little birthday party and sad that we did. The FLIES where every place, inside, outside, should call the fly bar. Makes you think what in the kitchen. Won't be back.
(1)Pete M.
I've been to OHSO once before and it didn't inspire a review one way or another. This time I felt the urge. Of the lengthy beer menu, OHSO has 3 of their own in-house brews. Two of which they were out of which is ok because the one left was an IPA. I like IPAs, this was not an IPA. It was bad. This "IPA" came in a pitcher. It reminded me of those beers that are made by another brewery but have a different label slapped on the bottle. My buddy and I couldn't finish it. It had the bottom of the keg, sat too long in the lines taste to it. Did I mention, not good? On to the next beer, a guest beer, Mother Road, it was advertised as hoppy and malty... What was I thinking? I hate mixing my malts with hops and verse vicea. Once again, it tasted like it was long in the lines. I peered over at the bar, crap, these guys have like 30 taps! I'll never get a fresh beer unless I get the same that everyone else gets. Lame. It's not a brewery but a tap house. Crap. After BSing about all things dude, our food comes. I ordered a cheeseburger. The meat was HOT and cooked properly but the rest was just a mess. The bun was waaaay too big for the patty, two small slices of roma tomato and a rib of romaine were dwarfed by the bready top and fat soaked bottom. The bacon must have been sliced by a Ginsu knife because you could read through it. And if I didn't see the cheese, I would not have known it was there. The fries were good; crispy and salty. I expected more from an $11 burger and fries. So after a couple trips to OHSO, I'll now be referring to it as NOTSO, as in "Did you like it?" NOTSO much.
(2)Tara G.
I've been going here since they opened. I love that it's getting more popular and I have to wait for a table now. OHSO has an amazing vibe: chill, relaxed, local, friendly. The changing beer selection makes it fun to come back. The food is delicious. My favorite item is the Arcadia Veggie Burger. Their brunch includes a mimosa or beer. The mimosa is made with fresh OJ and is so good! I honestly can't pick a favorite breakfast item because they are all good. Top 2: Breakfast wrap or Chicken & the Egg.
(5)Kelly M.
This weekend was the first time we tried out OHSO and we cant wait to go back. The food is great, the beer list is extensive and it's great to be able to taste all the beers for just a buck each (3oz) before you commit to a pint. Our server (I wish i remembered her name) was great.... she was attentive, very knowledgeable about the beers and offered recommendations and of course very friendly! The patio is great also- I can't wait till it cools down. If you haven't tried OHSO yet you need to!!!!!!
(5)Eliza G.
Really cool spot. Great beer list, and love the options to get tasters. Flatbreads are delish. Entrees I have had have been 50/50, but eager to try more. Outdoor patio is fun, love that you can bring dogs... Plus they have homemade dog treats, how cool is that?! Last time we were there, valet was quite disorganized. All over great neighborhood spot
(4)Tucker W.
Quaint place, but service on Sundays is troublesome. Took a party of 8 over two hours to get served the meal. Food was ok - nothing to let the food network know about though.
(2)Kerry M.
Well, alright then. Another sweet spot to hang out on a lively evening. Let's be clear from the start though...this place is loud, VERY loud if you happen to be sitting in the bar area. It could have been the obnoxious 22 year olds sitting behind us, but I practically had to yell at each other across our table. The other problem? The service was slow. Our server was incredibly friendly and down to earth, but it took us forever to get our bill at the end of the night. I get it, it's a bar-type hangout and business is booming, but it was disappointing to wait so long after an otherwise pleasant experience. So on to the good points... The atmosphere is pretty cool (the back patio looks awesome, but was too crowded on this particular night) and the seating was trendy, but comfy. The husband ordered the veggie flat which he really enjoyed (he wished he would have ordered it without the broccoli though) and I ordered the pesto chicken sammie. My sandwich was so good. Like really good. And the fries were perfectly crispy without being overdone. I'm one of those people who gets easily sick of my meal even before I'm full. This was not one of those situations. Even my husband commented on how quickly I put that bad boy down. So good! And I won't forget to mention the awesome beer selection. They really have something for everyone. Ciders, wheats, darks, pales...everything. And don't forget the wine and cocktail list. Don't mind if I do! So yeah, this place is pretty great. There are definitely some kinks that need to be worked out so I hope they are still trying to improve. Keep it up. It's hard to find a great bar-type hangout with such tasty meal options. I'll be back! P.S. Anyone know what O.H.S.O. stands for anyway? Am I missing out on some inside joke?
(4)Chad G.
If you love craft beer this is the place for you! I recommend going at sunset and sitting on the back patio!
(4)Michelle G.
Great beer selection, great menu selection. Went there last night (a Friday around 7). We had a reservation so we were sat right away. However, it took our server at least 7 minutes to greet us (we all had empty beers or hadn't had any beers at all by that time). When he finally did greet us, it took at least another 10 minutes to get our beers. The whole night went that way. We started ordering two beers at a time to make up for the lag in service. It was disappointing since the atmosphere, beer and food were great. It also took the server 10 minutes after we placed a beer reorder to tell us that one of the kegs had blown and our beer selection was no longer available. I was afraid to order something else I'm fear that it might take another 10 minutes to finally get my beer. This was my husband and my first time there. I have to say I may try it again but not at a busy time, because I hate slow service.
(2)Rebecca S.
Got there Friday night, atmosphere was good, restaurant parking lot was packed, valet parking was available but we found a spot. Seated right away, waiter came and took our order, took a very long time (20+ minutes) to get our appetizer of spinach and crab dip with veggie chips. Two minutes after we got our appetizer, the waiter brought out our main meal. I told him we just got our appetizer and now the meal is going to be cold, he said he could stick it in the broiler until we're ready because he tried to time the appetizer and meal but the kitchen was behind. We declined and ate. The appetizer was way tastier than the main meal, I got a burger and fries, boyfriend got the grilled cheese with bacon. We both agreed it was meh, and having to flag down the waiter so we could request refills on our drinks was kind of sucky. Had a couple of beer samples, the first one the glass wasn't even half full. The second third and fourth were filled to the top, but we weren't charged for the first one. We were there around 8pm and another sample we requested was already out, kind of surprising for a brewery on a Friday night. Three out of five for the atmosphere and our dogs loved the free dog treats, may have rated higher if we had gone another time.
(3)Amanda P.
GREAT beer! I really liked the food too. The service is fantastic, its dog friendly, and a fun atmosphere.
(5)Tee M.
Always a good time here! Love the local beers, great food, bloody Mary's (with homemade beef sticks) & red sangria! Pet friendly patio & biking in is fun. Casual & friendly. Love it!
(5)Brian T.
Great server. The burgers were phenomenal. Spinach crab dip was good, but not a lot of crab. Good beer selection. Would reccomend.
(4)Cori C.
We checked this place out for the $10 beer brunch. Overall, it was a great experience. We arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday. I was worried about a wait but we were seated right away. Beyond the beer themed decor you would expect of a brewery, they also used old bike parts, which was fun. I had the OHSO Breakfast Wrap. It was not particularly creative with pretty much eggs and bacon in a tortilla but it was tasty and filling. It could have used more cheese and guacamole. Could barely taste or see it. They also forgot my seasonal fresh fruit, which I didn't realize until I saw someone else with a nice bowl of strawberries. I was almost finished and was full so decided not to mention it. The hubster got the green Chile pork carnitas. He got a big plate of food with a nice serving of pork that wasn't too spicy, crispy fried potatoes, beans, scrambled eggs, and tortillas. I think he won in meal selection. I got the Grovey, which was a unfiltered wheat with a subtle orange flavor and R got the saison, called Bier du Jour I think. We also ended our meal with a sampler of their Belgian styles, which was a great deal of 5 decent pours for $5. The beers were perhaps not epic but tasty. Good starting place with room to grow. The service was friendly and attentive. As others mentioned, plan to valet so bring some tip cash for this free service. Overall, we would return. Solid experience. Laid back and affordable... Not words I would typically associate with what I hear about the Scottsdale dining scene.
(4)Peter T.
WOW what a wonderful experience for the neighborhood feel and grrrreat food. Met up with a friend for the first time here and it was grrrrrrrrrreat. Justin helped us out and he was absolutely STELLAR! He gave us some wicked reccomendations and the good stuff just kept on coming. We had the OHSO and Beet salad coupled with the AMAZING cheese plate! The red dragon cheese is fantastic! Justin suggested the Nitro Milk Stout and it was super good as well. Kind of like a big kids chocolate milk shake! For the first time run I felt at home like I had been going there for years. I'm going to be questing to taste all of the beers that they have to offer along with the food. I noticed that on the menu that they lacked a lot of the fried items that you'd typically find for pub grub which is AWESOME. As I'm already tacking on all the beer energy healtier options to stuff my face are always welcomed. Definately will be returning again and again!
(5)Shelly R.
LOVE this place! Great location. Neat bike theme. Fantastic food and beverage. Awesome patio. Excellent view of the mountain. Big tables available for big groups. Outstanding friendly staff. Even a dog friendly patio! They encourage walking and biking to their place. Which we do! Only reason for 4 stars and not 5? They need more deals on wine. But I guess it's a brewery...so Yeah..I guess I get it. But Dang it! I love wine!

The ambiance and design of OHSO is wonderfully relaxing. There is a diverse amount of microbrews on tap. The prices per beer aren't bad at all. The only thing I didn't like was the food. Ordered the ribs and they tasted like they could have been bought at costco and simply layered with a bbq sauce from target/overcooked as well. WIsh the menu had a diverse amount of fresh ingredients... then this place would really stand out.

I got brunch here on a Sunday, and it was amazing in so many different ways. I loved the environment, which was kind of like a more unique down to earth version of Postino's/Livingroom. The food was delicious. We had the breakfast flatbread and breakfast burrito. Of the two, the burrito was the best! It's quite possibly the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. An added bonus was how the brunch menu was paired with a beer or mimosa, which reminded me of our European travels like how in Paris our lunch was paired with wine or beer. The best part is that they're dog-friendly complete with a water station!

I love this place! Great location, great food and great drinks.

Ate lunch here during the week. Great food for the price. Cool atmosphere. Makes me think twice about driving 3 more miles to Old Town. I'm not a beer drinker, but I welcome establishments like these to add to the Arcadia mix of wine bars.
(4)Steve L.
Best patio in town. Only visited once so far. Food above average and the menu has a good variety that goes beyond basic bar food. Service and the patio were A+. The place just has a cool vibe to it. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Sarah K.
Really enjoy this place for so many reasons: -beer selection! -the ability to brew and tap your own on site -the burgers!!! -the huge amount of space -location -patio -dog & bike friendly My husband and I try to ride our bikes along the canal to get to this burgers and beer party place. Over time service gets better and better, when if first opened, it was kinda hit or miss. This is always my go to for visiting friends and last minute dinner excursions. Lots of love for OHSo
(5)Jean V.
Hands down best mimosas I've had. They have a good deal, $10 for breakfast and a drink. The beer selection is fantastic, local businesses woo hoo! The patio areas are nice and I like how they text you when your table is ready instead of worrying you didn't or won't hear your name be called.
(5)Aaron A.
Ok I felt that I had to update my review of OHSO. I've been here 2 more times since my first review. I didn't care for the fact that a brewery only had a few beers to choose from. But what got me to come back here for two more times even though I don't live close to here was their awesome patio and the way they always change their beer menu. They print the beer menu every day and on my last visit I finally had my two dogs with us so they could also enjoy the patio. They also love the free dog treats. Also, they had a lot more house made beers in the menu this time and a good late nite muchie menu for us. We had the pepperoni flag bread. Good enough to share and cheap for only $5. Anyways, I believe that this place is a strong 4 star and I'm sure I'll be back soon!
(4)Jasmin S.
We stopped in for a drink while driving by. It was a great atmosphere. Wish i lived near by so i can ride my bike in. Pet friendly. Good beer. Food looked good byt didn't try..i will be back.
(4)John A.
This place has the best patio in Phoenix. The view is spectacular and the beer selection is awesome. They are constantly updating the selection so it is always different. I love being able to take my dogs with me, or stop after a bike ride on the canal. The servers are great really they can get the large crowds served in good time, some other places you could die of thirst when they get busy. I think their menu is the weak part, a few dishes are excellent like the pastrami and short ribs. They are lacking on good salads their choices are not as imaginative as their beer menu. If they upgrade the menu a little this becomes an even better place.
(4)Josh M.
I've been to OHSO many times before and normally just go to drink on their awesome patio out back. Today I went for lunch with a work friend. We both ordered the same thing actually. The green chile pulled pork sandwich with fries. The spice of the green chile was perfect. Not overwhelming as some green chile can be. The slaw made a perfect combo on the sandwich and the bun was so soft and tasted like it was made this morning. Their fries are perfectly crispy with great seasoning. No ketchup needed with these fries. I sat at the bar and was taken care of quite nicely by one of the two bartenders they had on staff. Love this place and will be back for sure!
(5)Kat K.
Under very rare circumstances I visit Phoenix. However, if the weather isn't too unbearable, I thoroughly enjoy eating and drinking on the patio. I have been incredibly blessed continually having Athena as my server. Not only is she well versed in the food and drink items, she explains the dishes with such enthusiastic detail that my mouth is fervently awaiting the first bite. Luckily, the service is quite quick, even on a busy night. Dogs are allowed on the patio making the experience even more catered to my favorite things; cute animals, good food and drinks.
(5)Ricardo G.
A friend brought me here when I was visiting during the NASCAR races at PRI. I liked the outdoor seating area, the doggie bar, and all the cool bikes there. The first day I was there, I drank like it was going out of style and needless to say woke up with a bad hangover. The next day I went back and wanted to do nothing with their special brewed beer. Unfortunately, I went on a brewfest weekend so there wasn't any other beer to drink.
(4)Christopher H.
Nice causal open bar to enjoy a beer with your friends, family, partner, or pet. The food is also good. Parking somewhat sucks If you don't want valet parking.
(4)Jason C.
My wife and I ate here last night, and it was terrific. Ordered the Arizona burger, pink, it was delicious. And the sweet potato fries were perfect. My wife ordered the Brisket sandwich, and let me tell you, it convinced me to come back for the all you can eat BBQ they have on Sundays. The beer selection is top notch with around 12 from local sources. Inside is huge, and they have nice outside seating as well. You can tell by how crowded it was that its a favorite with a lot of people.
(5)Stacy F.
Stopped by this place over this past weekend for lunch. Parking is not ideal - you will pretty much have to valet park to eat here, which we don't love being forced to do. The place itself is a good size on the inside and has a back patio that seems to be a big hit with the locals. We had just visited an outdoor Oktoberfest event and decided to enjoy the A/C instead. The bike theme of the decor can be seen throughout the restaurant and it's a fun and whimsical idea incorporating a close by bike trail. The menu has a variety of options from flatbreads to burgers. I had the BBQ bacon burger and he had the pulled pork sandwich. Both were prepared well and tasted good! Our friend had one of the flatbread (I don't remember the exact one - my apologies) but I remember he said it was very good. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the meal and had a great sense of humor. Overall: A We will be back to enjoy that patio!
(4)CJ M.
Service here is amazing - especially Stewart and Pete. These bartenders rock. The beers are also amazing. Ask for recommendations for drinks to beer and these guys will help. Food also seems pretty good, but the beers!!! And the service!!! Also - Go Patriots!!! Thanks for the hospitality boys!
(5)Todd C.
OHSO has always been a favorite of mine for happy hours, and I'm so glad I hit the chance to experience Brunch! Everything on the Brunch menu is $10, and includes a beer or mimosa! And the food is fantastic! I had the breakfast wrap, which came with homefries dressed with a cilantro aioli, which were delicious, and a side cup with a few mixed berries. Service was fantastic -Sam was great! I will be coming back for brunch soon, and I highly recommend OHSO!
(5)Sam L.
I've been to this location a few times. All for brunch, though, so my experiences are based on their breakfast menu, not regular. The first time I went was for brunch on a Saturday. I got the carnitas and it came with a 10oz beer. I got Papago Orange Blossom and it was warm. Flat and warm like the keg is sitting outside. The carnitas were flavorful, really good and the eggs weren't overcooked like how so many people serve scrambled. I enjoyed the way it was plated, and presentation was clean. I came back again for a Sunday brunch a few weeks later and ordered the Belgian Waffle. It was good, but not at all amazing. I ordered everything on the side to be able to try the waffle alone, and it was kind of bland. My berries were absolutely dead, like they were sitting out in the hot kitchen all throughout brunch. This time my beer was not warm, but hot. I left the full beer behind, as did the people I was with. I don't understand how a brewery can serve hot beer. The third time I went was for Father's day brunch. They weren't that busy surprising and I arrived early and got a table before the rest of my party. Ordered the biscuits and gravy and it came out cold. Sent it back and got another order. Hot gravy, cold biscuits. The biscuits were griddled, too, and you could see the marks on it. So they marked and toasted them ahead of service and them just serve them with hot gravy. Well cold biscuits are gross, and dense so hot gravy doesn't really warm them up. I ended up not eating it, and having lunch at a new old town restaurant. The food comes up quickly but it seems like every time I go in it gets worse and worse. I love the atmosphere here, but with mediocre food and hot beer I don't really have a reason to go back.
(3)Aura C.
Came here for lunch with a friend after driving past it so many times. But it was a beautiful day and they have an area that is wide open to the outdoors. I ordered the bbq burger. It was pretty good. I can't complain. The service way fine as well.
(4)Michelle C.
There's no other way to say it: I fucking love this place! Mimosa's a plenty, dog-friendly, patio-lovin', brunch menu to die for... Came here for the "Beer Brunch" ... (two of my favorite things) which is 10 items for $10 with a 10oz beer or Monster Mimosa! Brunch is served from 9a - 2p on Sat + Sun. I typically can't get away from the green chili pork carnitas (which definitely has SPICE) ... pork carnitas, scrambled egg, potatoes, beans, cotija cheese and whole wheat tortillas served with a side of fruit. Happy to see a non-douchy spot pop up in this area - gives me hope that Phx can be cool after all!

How can I not have rated OHSO?! I have been here several times, but only on the back patio. Its where I find myself people watching and drinking beers. I have had some of their food and it's OK, I should try this place out for dinner sometime.. but so far my rating is all about brews, clientele, atmosphere and service. The positive. To tell you the truth, I like it - all of it. I feel relaxed here and I enjoy a place where you can sit down and just unwind over good conversation, because it isn't obnoxiously loud here. It is like a patio should be. The beer is tasty, and there is a feelgood vibe on this dog friendly patio. Funny story. I sat here with some veterans and enjoyed a Friday afternoon as the sun went down. When I was paying my bill I realized that the waitress had charged me for a drink to little. I told her about it, and she replied with "Sorry, consider it military discount" and a smile. Needless to say I tipped her well. The negative. The men's room has one toilet and one urinal. This means that there will be a line on occasion. Another thing, that other awesome yelpers have said before me, is that I don't like valet parking. I don't. In Summary - it's a pleasurable visit. I would take out-of-towners here for a light meal and drinks before going somewhere else. Not saying that this place dies down as the night progresses, I just don't have that knowledge. If you haven't tried it out, please do.
(4)Kelly V.
I live really far from this part of town so it's been a struggle to get here. We finally made it and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is hip and laid-back. We didn't sit in the patio but I noticed it was spacious and open to dogs - kind of like someone's back yard. My cider (from The Cider Mill) was DELICIOUS as were my fish tacos. We shared the pumpkin cheesecake and that was yummy too. This seems like to perfect spot to drink a lazy Saturday afternoon away. I look forward to coming back.
(5)Chris Z.
Amazing selection of beers on tap. Great happy hour specials. Good food. Friendly service. And a nice patio area during the months that we don't use the phrase "It will only be 105 degrees today". You can get pitchers of on tap local brews for $6-11. The pitchers are plenty generous. The burgers are great. The fish and chips (which in my opinion is the best way to judge any brewery) taste great. It's always a good sign when they bring out malt vinegar without being asked. I prefer the texture of cod to mahi but the breading was tasty and it wasn't a pile of breading with a sliver of fish. The tartar sauce had great flavor and it looked made on site (I've never seen store bought with pickles diced that large). The only real issue here is the parking. If you show up during busy times, it can be a nightmare. The valet helps. The guys out front are friendly and do not push hard for tips (which of course makes us want to tip them more than we would have had we felt pressured!). It can be a frustration but in the end it is worth it.
(4)Lizeth M.
What I liked the most about this place was the amazing patio!!! A dog friendly patio with hanging lights!! Beautiful and brilliant!! Plus, this place brews its own beer!! The food here is good, nothing too extravagant. However, the service is great, friendly and loaded with a very attentive staff!! :) A must visit for a good time with the amigo(a)s!! :)
(4)Diana M.
I stopped in here while on vacation for a pint with an old co-worker. It was a fantastic bar and their beer selection was really good. I can see this being a great neighborhood place to hangout. I didn't try their food, but what people had around us looked really good. I would definitely stop in the next time I'm in AZ!
(4)Adam B.
Great atmosphere for groups and two large patios not to mention a killer pitcher happy hour. Parking is super limited and valet only on busy evenings, though parking is available on the street in the neighborhood directly across the street. My only gripe was the low quality of the cocktails I had, maybe its my fault for ordering an old fashioned at a brewery but given the price I was disappointed. Aside from that its a great spot nestled in the Arcadia area and just minutes from old/downtown Scottsdale.
(4)Jenn W.
I have been coming here for years with my dog and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and customer service. The past few times we have come in we have experienced terrible customer service with rude and unhelpful waiters and hostess. I think we have finally had enough of having to endure this horrible service.
(3)Sonny H.
This place never fails to impress. One cannot beat the brunch special here, food and booze for $10 is quite the concept. I'm a sports fan and my happy lady is not, but this place caters to each of us. Dogs are more than welcome here and let's just say we all prefer well behaved ones. Ha.
(5)Marc S.
My new favorite bar in Phoenix. The outside bar in the back, not the one inside. It's big, it's open, it's dog friendly, they have big TVs and they have a ton of beers on tap including a few that they brew themselves. Great food and service too.
(5)Kate K.
This place wins the award for most dog-friendly patio in Phoenix! I, uh, just don't have a dog, so this is more on the less amusing end for me. But holy water dishes and panters galore! They even have a recurring dog photo contest. Now. The beer? Amazing selection and the happy hour pitcher special is nuts. I love their HH food specials as well. The pretzel with cheese? Pretty sure I requested a straw and drank the rest of the cheese up. I called it Cheese Soup to make it slightly more respectable. I guess that's just what happens when you are "forced" to drink a pitcher of great craft beer! The brunch special is pretty good, but on my most recent visit I ordered the grilled cheese and was fairly disappointed at my meal compared to everything else I saw....pretty paltry portion IMO. I would've rather had a more respectable/substantial sandwich and had no fruit and random sauce/dip. The late night eats menu is a great addition of greasy yet delicious food at pretty awesome prices. Service has always been another high point for OHSO. But the bathrooms, UGH!.......I guess all those pitchers of cheap beers makes for some nasty drunk bitches, because my late night visits have always resulted in straight up DISGUSTING women's bathroom conditions. LADIES, GET IT TOGETHER AND STOP VOMITING IN PUBLIC. WTF. Only other negative is the parking situation. I just hate valet. Even if it's free. HATE IT. If you time it right, you may get lucky, but even when meeting friends at say, 4pm or so, I still get stuck valeting. But hey, this place is packed, for good reason. I'll be back!
(4)kara y.
The patio is a rocking with beer and dog lovers as OHSO has clearly ingrained themselves in the neighborhood. Warning: you will envision yourself as a dog owner. Aside from the libations, are the well behaved canines lifting our spirits? For the re-review, food quality is consistently good. Try the tacos or hearty cheese board. Eats are reasonably priced too. I also enjoyed an excellent tequila cocktail: the Jensen. That refreshing drink with a jalepeno bite will be enjoyed again this summer. A tiny slip up is the bar did made a gimlet with sour mix; a minor faux pas as we should all go there for the BEER! This fun bike destination does get crowded; enjoy midweek to get over the hump!
(5)James Swann S.
I have been to OHSO a few times and it never disappoints. The Sandwiches are great and you can add a BONUS burger and fried egg to any sandwich to make it something truly special. (You Really Can!) There is an ASS LOAD of great LOCAL CRAFT BEER ON TAP and they even have their own micro brewery making beers that serve the clientele in their own back yard. VERY COOL. Lastly, the DOG FRIENDLY PATIO is super sweet! Try this place ASAP!
(5)Allie H.
Great variety of beer and food. Love how you can bring your dog outside and it's totally acceptable if your dog climbs on the table and no one thinks it's weird! Awesome place for lovers of dogs and beer.
(5)Dale K.
I like the place and the food is great but we waited a hour for a table and I could do without so many kids in a fully stocked bar
(4)William H.
Great food and beer!!
(5)S T.
From the moment we sat down the waitress had a huge bad attitude. During the 20 minutes we tried to order we did nothing but shake our heads in disbelief at her crap attitude. Beyond that, the bar manager informed us well over half the beer selection wasn't available because they had started cleaning their taps too early.. Total disappointment.
(1)Eric R.
O.H.S.O. is where all good beer drinkers will spend the afterlife. I feel like I've lived here recently and sadly have never written a review. The reason is because each time I've come here I've inevitably wound up trashed and hungover the next morning. As a result I've sadly neglected my review of O.H.S.O. so this is long overdue. I first came to O.H,S.O. for a company function and they put together an awesome special menu for us complete with beer pairings. Each course was amazing from the Mahi-Mahi sliders to the meat to the dessert. The owner came and told us his story and it was really inspiring to see someone turn their back on corporate life and follow their dreams, which in this case is all about beer. I actually have this fantasy about laying under one of the taps with my mouth open and just saying "pull". The hard part would be choosing which beer. There are SO many varieties that you can be confident that there is something for everyone. If you're not sure, or overwhelmed like I was, the staff there know their stuff and can point you in the right beer-drinking direction. The entire place is cozy and inviting, from the bar area to the lively patio. No matter where you sit, you'll always be surrounded by friendly beer-lovers. No need to leave your four-legged friends at home because the patio is dog friendly, complete with the "Barking Bar" to keep them hydrated. O.H.S.O. is definitely on the "Best of the Valley" list and a great choice whether you're local or from out of town.
(5)Kerrie F.
Like the atmosphere and well thought out menu! The macaroni brisket is excellent. Huge portions. Sweet potato fries perfectly done. Comfortable seating too. Dog friendly and bicycle themed. New favorite for us. Hated to leave they never rushed us, but certainly made sure to be attentive.
(5)Eric A.
Sub par service and received cold food. Forty five minutes for a cold burger and fries is pretty ridiculous would recommend 0/10. Would recommend the free beer though just eat before you come to drink.
(1)Heather J.
We stopped here for Sunday brunch and had no idea how cool it was. It was incredibly busy so we had to wait awhile and when we did order our waitress had no idea what beer was out but it was still yummo! We had a great time and our daughter at the entire french toast, which was awesome! Wish it was closer to this side of town for us, but it was still super fun, will be back if we are on that side of town again!
(4)A C.
Wow - this place was absolutely PACKED on Friday night. After the essentially mandatory valet {bleh}, we waited about 30 minutes for a front patio table, as we had our dog in tow and couldn't sit inside. The back patio was an hour+ , but I wouldn't have wanted to be there anyway. We came to eat and the back patio was really full and more of a bar scene. My husband ordered a beer and the server was really pushy to get me to order a drink. I finally snipped "I'm driving" and he stopped asking "are you sureeeee you don't want a drink? a mimosa? a beer?" every 4 minutes. My husband appreciated the beer selection and found a couple IPAs he liked. Prices were in line with normal beer prices in the area, about $5 a pint. We ordered the Arizona burger and a regular cheeseburger. I was extremely underwhelmed. The fries weren't good, the pickle tasted weird and the beef was not properly seasoned. You can order "pink" or "not pink" {aka well done or mooing}, which is stupid. I would much rather have a {cheaper} burger from The Stand just down the road. In an attempt to redeem our visit, I ordered a slice of the caramel apple pie {$7, brought in from Pie Snob}. It took way too long to come out and was again, underwhelming. So disappointing. I wanted to like this place, as we love beer pubs and supporting local businesses, but it just didn't do it for me. I am unlikely to return.
(2)Trent H.
What can I say.... This place is great! Beer selection is phenomenal and the brunch and a 10 oz. AZ beer for $10 is quite the deal! The back patio, which is dog friendly, is extremely relaxing on a nice AZ day with views of Camelback mountain. Bring your bikes as this is located right off of the canal trails and plenty of space to lock them up.
(5)Bex G.
You can bring your dog and they have free dog treats. I loved the outside patio with the view of the mountain. The beer options were great and the sandwiches were tasty. Large sandwiches. I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the beer and views. The patio decorations were bike themed. LOVE LOVE LOVE Oh yeah, and free valet parking too.
(5)Nikki D.
Weekend bike ride down the canal? Yes please. Especially when the reward at the end is a great brunch and a beer, or a huge mimosa, or 5, or whatever. My friends and I love the pooch friendly backyard patio... just make sure to get there a bit earlier to grab a table because everyone else loves the patio too. Great vibe, friendly people, quality beer. Boom. And don't fall into the canal after you're done if that is your preferred route to and fro.
(5)Carl C.
What's not to love about this place? You can do your own brewing, taste the best picks of the week, super cool backyard area that borders the canal (one day the canals in phx/scottsdale will be like San Antonio...don't get me started) perfect for a run or ride up to soak up some hand crafted suds and enjoy the hospitality. This place works very well right now. Right now as in the weather is perfect and not uncomfortably warm...that comes in June-October.
(4)Rachel M.
Beers and food are really something special..service is also very friendly. ...beer selection is extensive and they offer samples... new beers are introduced periodically and I canr wait!! Oh Happy days!! Thanks guys...
(5)Melissa H.
I love everything about this place! Best back patio any time of the year. They make it comfortable no matter the weather. (haven't tried rain yet tho) :)
(5)Terry M.
I spent the afternoon watching football games and eating the Sunday afternoon BBQ special - all you can eat from 3-7. Met with the manager, Woo and learned about the place. Great foot, tons of beers Local and national. They are very involved with the community. The food was above average and the beer selection was outstanding. For Scottsdale, $5. pint is very reasonable and $9, pitchers. Shea the server mentioned they have dog biscuits. I brought one home and my dog went nuts. He loved it. I will be back, this time with my dog!
(5)Toni J.
After at least a dozen visits to O.H.SO, I just realized I never reviewed it. Maybe I subconsciously didn't want to endorse this Arcadia gem because I was hoping no one would find it... Well that plan didn't work! Here are the reasons I love O.H.S.O 1. Brunch: $10 for entrée and a beer (Or mimosa) 2. Dog friendly patio: Plenty of water and dog hooks near the table, so the pooches can enjoy the day too. 3. Beer Selection: I'm not a huge fan of beer, but I they have a great selection of draft beers and plenty of fruity girly options (which is what I'll drink). As a vegetarian, I have been very pleased with their menu, trying everything from the breakfast grilled cheese (minus the meat), O.H.S.O Rita flat bread pizza to the Yucca chips and have been very satisfied. This location is also pretty big, so it's great spot for large parties.
(4)Chrystalle B.
Ive been wanting to come here for a while, so when we left another bar in the neighborhood and the question of "Where now?" came up, i jumped at the chance to try it. Great beer list with lots of AZ brews as well as others. We didnt eat dinner, but I tried their Sunday brunch a few weeks later. Everything sounded delicious but my 2 friends and I all opted for the breakfast grilled cheese (fontina, prosciutto, green apple, w/ agave nectar and fruit on the side). I wish I wouldve ordered something else. The bread to cheese ratio was not good. Regardless, I would definitely come back to try something else. Both patios are awesome, the one in back is much, bigger than the front ones. It has tons of shade, misters, fans, and a large bar in the middle. OHSO is also doggie friendly (if youre into that sort of thing). I would definitely recommend this place.
(4)Jessica C.
OHSO is one of my favorite spots! They have an excellent beer list that changes quite often. Everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious, I recommend the green chile dip and the brisket sandwich. Beyond the food and the beer, the employees are the real reason I keep coming back. I have never had anything but excellent service here. If you're looking for great beer, food, and people OHSO is the place to be!
(5)Scott S.
Petty much the most awesome lunch in a while.over 30 beers on tap and green Chile sandwich is bomb
(4)Noor B.
Very weak 4. If I could give half stars, I would give OHSO 3.5 I like the location and the layout of the restaurant. We started with the spinach artichoke and crab dip, which was pretty good but a little too fishy, like the crab wasn't fresh. I had the OHSO salad, which was good. The cook on the steak was nice, and the greens were fresh. My husband had the gnocchi bolognese, which he enjoyed, but he felt that the sausage on the dish was overpowering. Red wine sangria was fine - nothing extraordinary, but good. The service was very slow, and honestly pretty bad. I don't know if our server forgot our table was there, but she seemed more interested in chatting with the table behind us than taking our orders and refilling our drinks. I also think the portions are small for the price. Overall, we had an OK time. I would go back for drinks. I'm hoping the bad service was a one time fluke.
(4)Rob H.
I went to OHSO again today (I find myself there two or three times a month). Once again they were great! Go for the beer but make sure you order some food - it's all great!
(5)Brenda B.
This is by far my favorite bar! the back patio is where you want to sit. Great atmosphere, large beer selection, and great for winos like myself too! I love coming here for weekend day drinking the best. It gets very busy so often the tables are all taken but if you give it 5 minutes normally a table will open up. Great food too. I love the white bean dip as an appetizer. And the veggie flatbread is probably my favorite meal there. I always take any visiting friends and family here! And always my pooch :) This is a great place for people who love riding bicycles to the bar and/or have dogs! They have free u-locks to borrow for your bike and it backs up to the canal so great for biking to and from. They also have water dishes for your dog, as well as homemade dog treats. There's hooks to connect your leash to. Really awesome bar!!
(5)Christy C.
What a great place! I've heard about it so much, and finally got to give it a try. The owner and manager so generously hosted Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue for a happy hour - and they donated 15% during that time period to the rescue - what wonderful people! Our waitstaff was so friendly and helpful - the place was crazy packed, obviously this is the place to be. They are incredibly dog friendly and a lot of people came there on bikes. A lot of people in our group really liked the food they ordered. Really, really good fries. I ordered off the kids menu and didn't love the chicken fingers (kind of a processed taste), but I think that is what I get for ordering off the kids menu - that is probably what kids like. :) So happy that I got to try out OHSO.
(4)Susan T.
Always have such an amazing experience here. The atmosphere is great!! The food is so scrumptious especially the veggie burger not only the best veggie burger but probably the best burger period!! So good I decided to yelp about it. Also recommended Sunday brunch
(5)Wendy S.
What a pleasant surprise! Great service, good beer, delicious food and they let you bring your furry friends?! Amazing! I will be back for sure!
(4)Jeff E.
Food was good. Beer Cold, Atmosphere fine. Has a dog friendly patio that was nice. Green Chili bean dip was too heavy on the beans and too light on the Chili. If you are going to have some chili dip, give the customer the option to put some heat in it. As it was served, it was not as spicy as my mint toothpaste. Nice place, I would go to again.
(4)Chris P.
This was a cool nano brewery with a good looking good selection. I only got to try a few beers and the shrimp cevici. The shrimp was nice size and very tasty for the price. I also liked the atmosphere and staff was friendly. Parking wasn't great but they have complementary valet which was nice. I would definitely come back for dinner.
(4)Alyse H.
My hubby and I came here because we had a gift certificate. The beer selection seemed to include a lot of fruit centered beers. They do offer brews other than what they make here. The atmosphere of OHSO was very hip and industrial and it was quite cool to see the brewers in action right behind our table. Gotta love the fresh scent of wort! We started with the green chili bean dip which was very tasty, but it didn't come with nearly enough pita bread to finish all the dip. The barbeque beef sandwich I ordered was so saucy that the sauce masked any flavor of the beef. It was absolutely huge and the bun was huge as well so I ended up taking the top bun off altogether and eating it with a fork. All in all, we decided the drive to this place was a little too long to really make us want to stop in again. As my hubby would say, we wouldn't "crave" anything from OHSO.

The Grovey was great. Too bad their disbelief in AC and their pretentious, annoying clientele make you only want to stay for one pint.

The food here was awesome, and the staff are amazing. It has a comfortable atmosphere, and it is definitely family friendly. Our waiter went out of his way to make chocolate milk as a little treat for our daughter. While we didn't use the dog-friendly patio, I thought that was a really cool addition.
(5)Jessica M.
Orange blossom and their house made Grovey (I think is what it was called) beer is what gave this place 4 stars in my book. Minus 1 star for not having a full menu on the weekends, they only offered brunch until 2pm. I'll be back just for the beer though! :)
(4)Chris M.
I only stopped by here for a couple drinks with friends, but was impressed with their beers on draught. They had a selection of beer from Arizona breweries that ibhandt tried anywhere else. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, which isn't always easy to find in Phoenix. Prices were reasonable as well. The only thing that was bothersome was that you have no option but to valet your car, you can't park on your own. Otherwise great experience, and I would go back.

Love this place. The food, drinks, atmosphere and all are just spot on awesome! Love it. Great place to come with friends and even your dog- best place to eat and relax.
(5)Morgan B.
O.H.S.O. is so much fun! A huge selection of beers on tap, great happy hour, and a big patio that caters to dog lovers...they even have dog treats at the front that you can take home with you! I thought the food was so so, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Perfect for brunch or an afternoon with friends. Overall, if you're in the market for a chill afternoon outside with your friends or your dog, give O.H.S.O. a shot.
(4)Melissa H.
The burger+cheese is so very delish!!! Prob my new fav burger spot! Also the shrimp tacos are something to talk about!! Love the Peach Ale. OHHHHHSOOOOOGOOOD!!! This is my new fav place and had a great birthday in the reserved inside outside patio area Thanks O.H.S.O!!!
(5)Kat C.
I live right down the street; the food is flawless; the beer is great; the happy hour is awesome ($6 local pitchers); and the people are always nice and happy. They have plenty of vegetarian options, and are eager to make substitutions. I crave their sweet potato fries more often than I'd like. Also, the veggie burger is their own hand-made patty and it's freaking delicious. It's a very laid-back atmosphere. They have a few flat screens at the top of the bar, so you can sit outside and watch sports. It's also my favorite spot to puppy-watch! Most people who sit in the back patio have their dog with them. If you go during happy hour, I recommend you try the happy hour food. The pretzels are super soft and the cheese dip is great, and I love their hummus + cucumbers app.
(5)Arman P.
Cool place. Good Burgers. Also on sundays you can bring your dog to mingle with others. Pretty cool.
(4)Lauren M.
Went here for a Sunday brunch and had a great time. The menu is limited but you get a mimosa or beer included with your meal. The wait was not long and I loved the atmosphere outside. Food was great! Be aware you must valet...it is complimentary but I felt lousy without a giving a tip so had to get a few bucks off my cousin since I didn't have any cash on me!
(5)Eric M.
This place is quickly becoming our favorite bar. Been here 3 times so far and every time I keep finding something awesome about this place that makes me love it more. 1. It's right off the canal and 48th bike trails so easy to get to from Old Town and Arcadia on bike. 2. They have a nice 'backyard style' patio that you can bike upto, they have locks you can borrow and they have awesome bike decor all around that is also functional (bike wheels that are actually fans, bike chains that make up some lighting). 3. It's a dog friendly patio (I counted 15 dogs last time!) 4. Great crowd and beers! Never ate inside yet but the patio is the place to be, awesome views of Camelback, great people and dog watching and on Sundays you can enjoy their all you can eat BBQ for $15 (and it's a lot of food!). They have a lot of my favorite beers on tap including an Orange Blossom beer by the folks at Papago Brewery. Pricing is great on draft beers and I felt like for the experience and delicious food we ate the pricing is spot on. Go check it out and send me a message on what you thought of it because I think there needs to be more places like this around Central Phoenix!

I feel the need to be very responsible in writing an extremely honest and objective review (as much as you can be in a subjective field) since my server and I got into a discussion about how people use Yelp as a soapbox and not as a way to help other customers make informed decision. I'm rooting for you guys. Step 1: if you are currently at a restaurant and you are disliking your experience, don't tell the server that everything is great when he/she comes by to check on you. If you are going to bitch to the internet, have the consideration to tell them face to face. Alright, now that the rant is done, I can tell you all about OHSO. I came in on a Tuesday night with my desperate-to-hunt-for-chicks roommate. It was decently nice out so we sat at the very large patio bar which has overhead heaters and large screen TVs. Its actually really nice, the patio area is huge, has tons of bench/picnic tables, a large bar and most importantly, ITS DOG FRIENDLY! yay! Since we were feelin' fancy, we ordered their specialty cocktails. The Mule I ordered was done with their own creation of ginger beer and it was incredibly refreshing, packed with flavor and just super yummy. My roommie's old fashion was extremely strong but well executed. In terms of food, I was desperately seeking a healthy option even tho all the flatbreads and sammys were making my mouth water. I got the OHSO salad with steak, lettuce, tomato, green onion, sweet peppers, grapes, cheese and guacamole. I know, an incredibly weird mix on paper. When eaten all together (with the citrus vinaigrette), the flavors were great and the amount of steak was ridiculously big- i definitely felt like I was getting a bang for my buck.The grapes with cheese and steak were tasty but the whole guacamole at the bottom was kinda unnecessary. Not gross, just... strange. My friend got the OHSO burger with bacon and cheese. The bread was super soft and fresh and the meat and bacon were cooked just fine. My only issue with it is that the cheese resembled (both in taste and look) like a Kraft singles square (bleehhh) and the fries were super thin and a little over salted. Our server was super cool and we had an overall great experience there. It seems like a cool place to just hang out and have drinks, but luckily their menu is robust and tasty enough that staying for lunch/dinner/apps seems like a great time too. weee!

3rd review - They have a vegan menu now! And the food, especially the veggie burger, is awesome. We'll be eating there more often. Love the beer flights too.
(5)Brian P.
Sometimes you wake up on a sunday and say to yourself, good lord I need something to help me through what i did last night. If thats the case you probably woke up right around 11 am, and your feeling a brunch coming on. When that's the case I've been fond of stopping in at O.H.S.O. They have a great brunch menu, a pet friendly patio, and the brunch includes a mimosa to take the edge off. And if your really feeling it stick around, they do a all you can eat barbecue that will fill you up with one plate easy. I recommend you grab a friend and split the sockeye salmon, and the breakfast wrap you'll end up with the best of two worlds.
(5)Brenda B.
The craft beer is delicious, the bar leads to open patio which is nice concept. the food was great and reasonably priced. Our bar service was friendly and very attentive.
(4)Camilla L.
Saturday morning brunch in the back patio. Let's leave it at that. Love this place.
(5)Aly H.
Great ambiance, accommodating staff, great brunch/beer or mimosa deal, unique bloody mary (they make it with beef jerky!). I love coming here for brunch and sitting outside with all the doggies. Make a reservation, but if you don't, it's still worth the wait!
(5)Autum P.
Great beer, great patio(dog Friendly), great food! Local , local, local! Go there with some friends and check it out ! Beer is great ! Food is Delicious!
(5)Scott D.
Great experience. We came after 10pm to enjoy drink and food specials. We sampled various craft beers from local sources and they were awsome! The bar appetizers were small, but perfect when you are there to drink. The atmosphere is lively outside and cozy inside. Service was friendly, knowledgable, and attentive. This is a great hangout with friends. If you enjoy beer, this place is for you.
(5)Don Y.
This place is great. Decent food, great beer, great service. They let you bring your dog, which I love. The down side is their limited parking. But, they have valet parking, so they are trying to help mitigate that issue.
(4)Celeste L.
The service was cheerful and friendly-- the food was perfect...tasty and fresh. The mimosas are tasty!
(5)Allison E.
After being an avid fan of Four Peaks for so long, I was at first skeptical about O.H.S.O. However, it has won my heart! It is now one of my all time favorite places to go to take a buddy and hang out for a while. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. I love the Arizona Burger! I can eat cream cheese and poblano aoili from the burger with just a spoon! The brunch specials are amazing as well. Where else can you grab a beer and a tasty filling meal for 10 bucks? It also helps I can get my favorite beers here- Almost all Four Peaks taps, Papago Brewing Orange Blossom, and Sonoran Brewing White Chocolate Ale! So kudos to you, O.H.S.O! Keep up the great work! I also look forward to your new restaurant.
(5)Heidi G.
My new favorite place. When we arrived there was a wait but we were able to find a seat at the bar to grab a few drinks. Service was phenomenal and their beers were fantastic. They also had a nice selection of other AZ beers. Food was phenomenal! I had the shrimp tacos and my fiancé had the beef brisket. Both were fantastic! On our way out they had some homemade treats for our dog children. I can't wait to go back!
(5)Amanda H.
I looove the dog friendly patio right on the canal but that's basically the only reason we go here. (That and the fact that it's close to home!) The food is mediocre and inconsistent on quality and the beer list is good but not great. You can find better food and beer at Angel's Trumpet downtown which also has a dog friendly patio so we have started to go there more often. I'm sure I'll be back to ohso but I would definitely be more excited about it if they would step up the menu quality - especially for the prices they charge.
(3)Alex N.
We were visiting from Portland and found this place. It has such a cool vibe and supports local home brewers by allowing them to brew and sell their creations. Great front patio and hip inside followed by an awesome patio that allows dogs. Outdoor patio also has several large tv's for sports. We came here for the beer and ended up having an excellent meal. This isn't your standard bar food. You can taste that the salad dressing is hand made and their beef is high quality in the burgers. Pulled pork had great spicy flavor. Oh and the French fries are extra special. Good prices and above average quality. We enjoyed the re-use of old bicycles to decorate. Must visit place if you like micro brew.
(4)Manny B.
I was in town for spring training and I decided to check out a local spot that was kid friendly. Man, am I glad I stopped by here. The food was excellent, pitchers of beer were a steal at $6. It was too cheap not to get seconds....haa.. As much as I loved this place though, I loved the family and dog friendly atmosphere more than anything else.. Great place. I would love to see something similar to this our in Los Angeles... Cheers!!
(5)Dawn W.
My experience while at O.H.S.O. was mediocre from the time I walked in the door until the time I left. A bit pricey for the service and food, I don't know if I would go back. Here's my story if anyone wants to hear it.... The nicest people in (outside) the joint were the valet boys. Funny and charismatic, those poor boys standing in 110 degree heat were the liveliest employees we saw. We stepped through the doors to the front desk, which I assumed was the hostess, and we stood. The hostess and I awkwardly looked at each other for a few seconds. Seriously at least 10 seconds went by. Long enough for me to think "maybe I went to the wrong place, maybe she has forgotten that SHE works here, so I asked, "are you the hostess?" She uncomfortably said yes, as if she was confused why I asked, and asked how many were in my party. While being seated I asked my fellow diner, "was I being sensitive or was that the most awkward hostess experience ever?" It was agreed that she must have had a mini-stroke just as we walked in. We were seated and asked about what OHSO beers were on tap. Apparently there weren't any. A nano-brewery has no beers. Maybe the hostess drank it all, and that is what was wrong with her? Apparently they had a beer tasting a few days before and had been out of beer ever since. So we tried a few others, cant remember the names, but both were dark beers and delicious. Oh well, I have had OHSO beers before at a tasting and didn't love them. The waitress was friendly enough, but had just started her shift and was a little slow, but the other waitresses seemed to pick up her slack and we never wanted for anything but our food. We ordered our food. Ceviche, cheese pizza, and pastrami sandwich with sweet potato fries. Nearly 45 minutes later we got it. The ceviche was a small bowl of deliciously fresh ceviche topped with a lot of avocado. I have never had ceviche that hasn't been made in a Mexican restaurant or home, so I am partial to a big bowl of real Mexican ceviche and for $12 I felt there could have been more. Especially since the chips they served with it were VERY stale and after sending them back we were brought tortilla chips so greasy that the grease made them soggy by the end of the meal. The cheese pizza was for my 10 year old and she loved it- 1st time she has ever finished an adult meal at a restaurant. The pastrami was good too, but also so greasy that it made the bun wet. The sweet potato fries were the best part of the meal, which meant that I had to share them with the rest of the table. I may have yelled at everyone to stop eating my food. In all, our bill came out to nearly $60 plus tip for 3 of us, which included 2 beers. Side note: We went to the bathroom after our meal, (I know TMI,) and there was a bunch of flies in there. Wouldn't be as big of a deal IF there were windows, but there weren't. It smelled and looked like an outdoor bathroom full of filth and dirtiness. And seriously, how did a dozen flies end up inside an indoor bathroom with no windows? This is a dog friendly place that apparently has a back entrance and a patio for dog lovers. Not my cup of tea, even though I have 4 dogs, so I like that they have a separate entrance.
(3)Jide F.
Loving the Tucson beers on tap (Dragoon & Borderlands). Also loving the chorizo & potato flatbread. I was scared there'd be too much potato but was happy to find out it didn't overwhelm the flatbread. Extra points for the arugula sprinkled on top. Can't wait to come back.
(4)Kat K.
Love the dog friendly back patio. They even had free dog treats. Service was great. Pretty cool place, a place where I would go hang out if it was closer. Their own beers sucked. They only had a couple, hence the name"nano", but what few they had was not good. Luckily they had many guest beers on tap. They update their beer menu often, which is a perk. Now if they can focus on their own brews... I will try them again, maybe grab a bite to eat next time. Its a neat place, just go for the guest beers.
(3)Christina G.
Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Can get pretty crowded during happy hour.
(5)Travis B.
review to follow does not indicate dissatisfaction with OHSO. i still love the place, the beers, the patio, the location, the food. service on this occasion was far, far from expectations at OHSO. work happy hour. arrived with only a few minutes left. the waitress says, "ok guys, last call for happy hour, what'll you have" and then walked off. so we grabbed another server who seemed to be helping our previously arrived friends. the first waitress comes over and shoo's him off, asks again what we'd like and again, starts to walk off! what...???? we quickly call back for her and shout out our orders. the remainder of our experience that evening, she seemed frustrated with us and put out...never smiling once...which is unusual considering the stellar service we normally get. i understand she was trying to get last happy hour orders in, but all we needed was 5 seconds for her to write our drink orders. anyway, a one time fluke i think. of course we'll go back!
(3)Soo Jin M.
Ok, so I've been back a few times - couple for brunch and once for happy hour since my last review. Overall, the foods mediocre and I noticed they serve the beer colder now. I do appreciate the beer selection (the white chocolate one is my favorite, sweet but not too sweet like so many others!). The shrimp tacos are passable, salmon flatbread brunch thing was ok. Same with German sausage plate. My favorite and the one dish I feel like beats other restaurants is the french toast. This is the only thing I've found that would make me go - I would like to go to OHSO!
(4)Olivia D.
Came to OHSO for lunch with the family. Beautiful patio but there were flies everywhere! I've since gone back at night for a drink and there weren't any flies so maybe it's not an issue anymore. Anyway we were sat at a table and left with menus...dirty menus. Major pet peeve of mine! Service left a lot to be desired for but the food was pretty good. I got the Salmon BLT and it was definitely the best dish at the table. Beer selection was great too. Overall, I'd go back again for the patio and beers!
(3)Taylor F.
Stopped for a Late Sunday lunch on the way to the airport. I had the AZ burger with just the right level of heat (fresh jalapeños) and my husband had the brisket sandwich which was bomb. Great drink menu and nice local beers. A great spot, if only we lived here to go more often!
(5)Mitch S.
Yep. This place is as good as it gets. When I lived in Tempe, Boulders on Broadway was my friendly neighborhood bar. Now that I have a more permanent location in the Arcadia area this is where I go. A quick bike ride up the 48th street greenbelt and im there! As everyone says, the back patio is awesome. I spend the majority of my time here. Love seeing all the different dogs and love all the local beer choices. I am currently drinking quite a bit of dragoon IPA which they seem to always have on tap. The prices are fair and the food is great. I like their small bites menu for late night munchies. A couple beers split up with a pretzel makes for a good night. If you have friends in town and want to show them a little local flavor, check this place out. So many local beers and they also micro-brew in house. The back patio shows off our great weather, their menu features local ingredients such as the yucca chips. This place is the epitome of your local bar.
(5)Barbara S.
First time at this very popular place! We tried to get a seat on the back patio as the weather was beautiful - but it was a 45 min. wait! Our tummy's just couldn't wait that long so inside it was. But all was good. Our waiter was awesome. When we told him it was our first time at O.H.S.O., he gave us a 'tour' of the happy hour menu, explaining the beers, and just generally answered every question before we could ask. The happy hour starter of thai-spiced hummus was so good! (I almost embarrassed myself by liking the bowl to get every last bit!) The beet salad followed, and as I usually do, I asked for the dressing on the side. It came with EVERYTHING on the side. I don't know if that's how they always serve it, but the spinach/greens on the plate, surrounded with little bowls containing the red and yellow beets, tomatoes, pecans, goat cheese, dressing. I piled everything on, drizzled on the dressing, and dug in. Very, very good. Fresh greens, the tomatoes tasted like tomatoes, beets yummy and the dressing flavorful. The brisket sandwich was huge! Half was taken home for lunch the next day. Flavorful bbq sauce. The menu indicates this this a staff choice and my son concurred! The spicy green chile pulled pork sandwich and jalapeno slaw was tasty, too! None left to take home, it was that good! Good selection of beers and other libations. The flights are inexpensive and a great way to taste some of those beers you aren't too sure about! Our waiter told us that another O.H.S.O is coming to the Paradise Valley Mall area...but didn't know when. That'll be awesome! Another great find. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Kris S.
Our lunch crew had 2 apps and 2 entrees. Steak and fries and the pretzel board apps were elevated and tasty. Pastrami sandwich and the burger + cheese can come with sweet potato fries. Pastrami is spicy and the burger comes with bacon... Thick bacon. Worth it. We'll be definitely go back.
(4)Matt B.
I've heard good things about this place for a while, so when we had some family in town, this seemed like a great choice. We don't need anything fancy, just a cool atmosphere, good food, and cold beer. We all thought the place looked great, a little loud maybe, but otherwise a great concept. However, that's basically where the fun stopped. It was uncomfortably warm inside. At first we thought it was just us, but looking around at other tables, people were fanning themselves. And then, as soon as we sat down, inside, we were immediately swarmed by flies. There were 4-5 flies landing on us, our food, our table the entire time we were there. Maybe some cold beer could save this experience? Negative. We tried 4 different pitchers. All of them just slightly above cold. They don't supply you with frosted mugs either. So here we are, inside, sweating, swatting at flies, and drinking less than cold beer. Also, 2 of the 4 pitchers, were just flat - The Scottsdale Blonde and the Grovey. When you poured from the pitcher, there was zero head. And it tasted flat. The food was just ok. Collectively, the skirt steak, the braised pork, and the brisket sandwich were ok, but we all decided, they were a little bland. The surf and turf received high marks however.
(2)Reese C.
I looooooove this place. If you have dogs or are a bike rider and love beer, you will too. Amazing back patio that is dog friendly, huge area to park your bike, amazing brunch that includes a $10 special for brunch and a beer. How sweet is that. The food is consistently delicous and the service is always prompt. They are also great about supporting local breweries and have a lot of events there.
(5)Mark D.
I'm only in town for week and I want to go back every evening. The patio area offers a fantastic view of camelback mountain. Their beers were excellent & the food was good too. Just a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
(5)Jenna A.
I've been to OHSO for brunch, lunch, and late night nibbles over the course of probably a dozen or so visits. I think they deserve a solid five stars. To be completely honest I am not a huge beer connoisseur, I just really like the atmosphere, the food, and the sprawling back patio. My co-workers and I used to visit OHSO on Sundays for their $10 "Beer Brunch" which includes your choice of 10 oz. beer or large mimosa, plus a selection of ten food options under $10. My favorite items are the green chile pork carnitas (comes served with eggs) and the breakfast flatbread. As far as appetizers go, I would recommend the spinach artichoke + crab dip or the green chile dip, although last time I had the green chile dip it could have used a tad more salt and spice. Note-worthy sandwiches include the chicken pesto sammie and the green chile pulled pork (are you seeing a trend here - try the green chile anything, you won't regret it!) OHSO has a pretty fabulous happy hour that runs Monday through Friday from 11am - 6pm where all wines and pitchers of beer are $6.
(5)Eric H.
Trendy mini brewery/restaurant. Great selection of brews and wine for you to choose...$6 pitchers during happy hours. They also have a wide selection of food menu, from main course to burgers to tacos and vegetarian options. A great place to go with friends to enjoy a game. They also have a pet friendly patio. I would recommend making a reservation during typical busy hours and large groups.
(4)Lisa N.
Wow what a place! Love the dog friendly atmosphere and free yummy biscuits - at least that's what my dog says. Happy hour pricing and options are awesome. Great selection of beer on tap! The burgers are great. I had the basic Burger and Cheese and LOVED it. The OHSO Grilled cheese was a favorite with my kids. Twice in one vacation says a lot! Strawberry Rhubarb pie was FANTASTIC. One of my new favorite places.
(5)Erik S.
Love the dog friendly back patio. The temperature wasn't bad because of all the misters out there even though you get a little damp because they're cranking out the water but in 100+ degree weather it's the only solution. Food was good as was the service but nothing out of the ordinary. The biggest drawback was during the Soccer game tv broadcast the volume was WAY too loud. We were seated next to the speaker so I can see why the volume was overbearing at our table. Had to yell at each other over the volume. We'll be returning soon enough hopefully not during a major sports event.
(3)Ashley D.
My bf and I went to this new beer bar last night. Suffice to say I'm considering moving within walking distance. This is the bar you want in your neighborhood, luckily my boyfriend lives close by. If I could walk I suppose I'd be in trouble. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff and patrons are friendly, and we ran into a few people we knew. For beers lovers, this is a dream come true. Tons of beers to try, brews you've never heard of, a rotation of the menu, and OHSO is soon to brew their own beer. DREAMY! I've heard mixed reviews from people regarding their food. We only had the Yucca chips and guac to munch on, which were good. I'll have to grab a burger soon, I'll sure I'll be back very very soon. I love trying new beers and with tasters I can try everything and move on to having pints of my favorite. So far I love the OHSO Raspberry Wheat Ale and the White Chocolate Ale. The Up River Lager from Mudshark was pretty tasty. The Two Hearted Ale was a bit too piney and hoppy and the Organic Chocolate Stout is for coffee lovers, which I am not. 5 down, many to go!
(4)Lindsay M.
I thought this place was too good to be true for a while. Cheap drinks, good food, great service...O.H.S.O. is the total package. They have an amazing selection of beer and a great happy hour ($6 for a pitcher?!) We love their dog-friendly patio, especially during the winter/spring months in AZ. Brunch on the weekends is also fantastic. $10 for your meal and a monster mimosa. LOVE this place!
(5)Gina P.
Driven past here a few times and it's always busy! Finally had lunch there and it was terrific! Sat out on the back patio too which is wonderful. Had an energetic vibe to it and it's fun to see all the happy dogs too! I had the spicy green chili burrito and husband had the smoked brisket. Both were excellent! Great price too. His was $12 and mine was $10. Lots of super fun beers, but it's the patio and fun service that makes this place great. Well done!

I went here last Sunday for brunch after discovering them on the Whistl App for iPhone. This is by far one of the best deals in the valley. For $10, you get a 10 oz Arizona Beer (Or Monster Mimosa), along with one of their 10 entrees. Between three people, to only spend $30, enjoy a beer, and be truly stuffed is a feat for any restaurant in this town. We ordered the Biscuits & Beer Gravy, the Breakfast Flatbread, and the Green Chile Pork Carnitas. I had the Orange Blossom Beer by Papago Brewing Company, while my two friends each got the Hefeweizen by Four Peaks. The Biscuits and Gravy is probably one of my favorite dishes on earth. The bisuits are smothered in the the thick gravy, with massive chunks of sausage. To top it off, they put a couple pieces of bacon on top. The flavor was very savory, not too salty or overpowering in any sense. The Breakfast Flatbread was very unique, turning a pizza into a breakfast It came with scrambled eggs, spanish chorizo, potato hash, caponata, and arugula. The sweetness of the caponata blended perfectly with the chorizo. The potatoes also helped balance the flavors quite nicely. The Green Chile Pork Carnitas were also very good, but nothing groundbreaking. It was probably the most traditional menu item. It came with the carnitas, flour tortillas, and scrambled eggs. It was fun though putting together my own little wrap with all of the ingredients. As for the beer, I was very impressed with the Orange Blossom. It was extremely refreshing, and the citrus flavor was not too overpowering. There was some subtle nodes of vanilla, which i though was unusual for beer, but really carried the flavor of the drink. My friends both said they enjoyed the Hefeweizen. We've always been a big fan of Four Peaks' beers. We saw some other people drinking the Monster Mimosas, and they are huge! I would love to try one, but the acidity of orange juice does not sit well with me anymore, but I can imagine that they are excellent. As for the service and atmosphere, I would still give it a perfect 5 stars. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about their food and drink list. The layout of the restaurant is very unique. It has the old style german bier-haus vibe, with a modern american twist. Each dining area has its own style. I would definitely recommend this place for their brunch. They also do BBQs on the weekends in the evening too. If youre a foodie like me and want to find other great deals like OHSO, definitely check out the Whistl App on the App Store. It's free to use, and I've already found several new places in the Valley that really rock!
(5)Billy B.
Wait staff are handsome and friendly but not very skilled either, food came out cold, never refilled drinks, and never offered desert. Food was also ordinary and decor was trying too hard. If you want trendy with a good beer selection many other places will top this one.
(2)Christie C.
My friend and I came here for brunch. It was delicious. We opted for the mimosas instead of beers with the $10 brunch specials. The food was amazing. The breakfast burrito was delicious. Made me fall in love with pork all over again. And the breakfast flatbread was also really good. The crust was amazing. I probably could have just had the crust and been happy as can be. We sat on the patio, even though it is super hot outside. It didn't even matter, because it didn't feel bad at all. With the misters and the swamp cooler, it was pretty comfortable. I like the feel of their patio, and it's obviously dog friendly. My friend and I are going to return with my dog in tow.
(4)Nick M.
Simply amazing. Their hamburgers are the best in town. Overall very solid menu and great atmosphere.
(5)Bryan S.
The waiter was not that attentive and brought cold fries. Asked for no tomato and had to pick them from my burger. Very noisy place too. I think the place is just ok....

I really wanted to like this place! Before even trying it for myself I heard good things about this place, but the 2 out of three times I've been I have found hair in my food. Service was great all three times but the hair in the food just did it for me. I'm going to assume this happens often because of their dog friendly patio (where I sat all three times). They do have a great beer list and it changes weekly so if I do go back maybe I'll play it safe and just drink.

If you are Dog lover this is awesome place filled with great menu and beer. Great service and you get to bring your four legged friend :) Is this can get any better????

An apology letter from the owner. A Jon Lame, sent me a letter trying to cover up the off flavored beer saying they "dump the batch". It's not the first time I have heard the same complaints from this place. So thy must be dumping beer left and right! Many people have said that they have experienced off-flavored beer every time they or I have been, the few times I have been or seen the place, there's always a wait.

The ambiance here is really nice. The back patio is dog-friendly. The beer selection is great. If you're in the back and you order beer, it seems faster to get the beer that's available on tap out back rather than the beer up front. For me, the difference was 20 minutes. It took forever to get my first beer out but that may have been because they were busy. Other than that, no major complaints. If there is no space to park in the front, just park across the street.

Went here for the first time toy with the GF and everything was amazing. I saw in multiple past reviews that the service was questionable - Not this time. We had great service the entire time we were there. Our water glasses and beer glasses never went empty and both ladies that helped us were extremely friendly. Food: The food was excellent. We started off with the OHSO Green Chili Dip. It has a bit of a kick to it, but was great. Highly recommend it. The brisket and pesto chicken sandwiches were also amazing. You get a lot of good food for your money. Beer: The selection is huge. The best thing my GF liked is that for $1 you can get a 3oz sample of most beers. She is more of a mixed drink girl but it was nice for her to be able to find one she liked.

We have been to the N. Scottsdale location 3 times in 4 days! Awesome food, service, beer and very dog friendly! Wonderful place!
(5)Lance C.
Been here several times, always have a great time. Great food, Great Service, and of course Great local beer selection. While is does get noisy from time to time, I still find it a great place to take a date. Introduced many people into the world of beer here, and plan to continue!
(5)Allison F.
Best food and dining experience combo in Phoenix. Great patio, drink selection, food choices and overall experience. O.H.S.O is my favorite. Bring anyone, dogs too. Try their breakfast and bloody marys. Their Moscow Mule is the best I've ever had.

A friend recommended I try OSHO while I was in the Phoenix area and that the burgers were really good. Always can go for a good burger, know a lot of great burger places in the Dallas area but having been away from Phoenix for more than 20 years, I really didn't know where to go here until my friend suggested OHSO. I don't drink so I can't comment on the quality of the beer first hand but my son was happy with his choice. I got the Arizona Burger, ordered it "pink", the other choice is "not pink" but that's just not right (by that I mean, who wants a burger cooked all the way through? Kills the flavor!)! As busy as they were, I was pretty surprised it only took us about 10 minutes to get our food. I ordered it with the onion strings on the side but didn't get them at all. Either the waiter couldn't hear me too well because it is pretty loud when they are busy (and they were packed on a Friday night) or the kitchen forget them. No biggie. Fries were pretty good but more warm than hot. Glad they came with the burger because ala carte they are pretty pricey for french fries. The only real negative is the parking. The lot isn't very big and the dry cleaners next door has "no parking' signs threatening towing all over the place. I can understand that if they are open but when we were there it was closed. Not sure if they tow cars after the dry cleaners is closed but I wasn't taking any chances and was glad I snagged the last spot. When we came out, the spots at the dry cleaners were full. Plus there was a huge line at the door. Definitely will be back next time I'm in town.

Overly-Hyped Sh*tty Operation. Very disappointed and won't be returning. My friend and I were excited to have a drink after a horrible week. OHSO is right by my house but I had never been. We walked in and were met by an angry girl with a nose ring (doesn't matter but just for identification purposes) who barked that we had to put our name in for a table and a 45 minute wait. We were a bit thrown off by her attitude but asked nicely if we could look at the bar to see if there were seats. She grumbled that there was open seating in the bar. We went into the packed bar and there was not a seat but two girls were about to leave a high top. We were excited and waiting to grab our long awaited beer. We were then approached by a hostile brunette server who asked us if we had put our name in with the hostess. We explained that we were going to sit at this bar table. She snapped that we had to put our name in for this seat in the bar. We explained that we thought the bar was open seating and she rolled her eyes. Up walks nose ring girl. She rolled her eyes at the brunette (as if we couldn't see her disdain) and says she told us we couldn't just sit down. I felt like we had committed a crime. My friend and I were over this unwelcoming, ridiculous place...so we told them we were leaving, walked across the street to Arcadia Tavern (had never been there either) and enjoyed a beer in a friendly environment. Oh So sorry...will never be coming back!
(1)Vlad H.
The first time I went I wasn't impressed but I've been back multiple times now and it's become one of my favorites in Arcadia. The Sunday brunch is one of the best deals around - $10 for a meal and either a beer or a mimosa. The meals are all quite good and the mimosas are strong. Above average bloodys as well, two great porches (front and back) that are a little too comfortable. Also dog friendly so if you have a social pooch be sure to take him/her with. And, of course, the beer selection is top notch, though twice now I've settled on a favorite only to find them replace it in their cycle. The price of keeping things fresh. :)
(5)Nida K.
O.H.S.O Bland. This place is in such a beautiful, industrial space, but it's so boring. It really lacks personality which given the concept, and building, is so easily capable of achieving. Of course, the beer selection is great. They snuck the Sam Adams Boston Lager onto their menu, which I think is a wonderful beer, but not appropriate in the grand selection at O.H.S.O. I found the patio furniture they had near the cool garage doors was a bit tacky. I don't think this is a permanent location for this bar, but I think they could've done a better job with decor and furnishings. The service was fine, as were the beers.
(3)Lauren S.
Great atmosphere, great food, great service, fun patio, dog friendly, free homemade pet treats. Love this place!!!
(5)Rachel A.
Great patio, super dog friendly. And amazing food. Their brisket is better than most BBQ joints and their fish and chips are amazing, and that coming from a person who doesn't like fish.
(4)Andrew L.
I'm a little bit of a hippie at heart so I probably am biased when I say that I love this place and it's likely my favorite spot in Arcadia. A microbrewery with delicious food, a HUGE outdoor patio that's dog-friendly, amicable and helpful staff, and oh, right, did I mention that their beer is amazing? What's not to like? Let's start off with food (because I'm a junkie). I've raved about the Tavern's sweet potato tots, but these guys' sweet potato fries are, impossibly, even better. How do you make better, better? I could eat a bucket of these and drink beer and I'd call it a night out. Chicken salad wrap is great, so is the green chili dip. Beware of the green chili pulled pork sandwich if you're worried about your bread going soggy (it will). Overall, the food is a smash. Brews: huge and fantastic selection. They regularly rotate out selections as things go in and out of season, so the lineup is always changing. Some steady favorites of mine: Dragoon IPA, Grand Canyon Amber, and the local Monje Azul (a light beer with a bit of a kick, if you're feeling light beer but want something with more substance than a Coors Light). Chainsaw and Hefe is good too. Basically, you can't go wrong. Environment: This is what I love about OHSO. I look at the vibe of this place as sort of like the Vig but much more laid back and friendly. The outdoor patio in the back is spread out and open - great for socializing. There are a few TVs so you can keep up with the scores, but not enough around to turn you into a social outcast just sitting there watching TV by yourself. All in all, the place gives off a very relaxed, vintage villa aura, with a smidge of contemporary to it. It's sweet. Complimentary valet, root beer candy at the hostess stand, great people, and the part that doesn't make you feel guilty about leaving your pooch at home: they make homemade dog biscuits from leftover grain from brewing, mixed with peanut butter and some other goodies, so your pup can have a good time too when you get home! Top-notch service. I'm hooked for life.
(5)Ernesto L.
The place is really nice. Great patio, nice lay out, good service. The beer selection is also good but the food is barely OK. The fries with steak have no personality and the serving is bigger than I would like it (at least fries wise, not that much steak, though). I had the pulled pork sandwich and the meat was excessive, the flavor just OK and too much cheese. Great place to hang out but don't expect anything from the kitchen. Stay with beers and comfort food and you'll do great. Prices are fair. Cheers.
(3)Tiffani G.
I had heard so many great things about this place and I'm glad I finally went! The atmosphere is kickback and fabulous. My girlfriend and I hung at the bar and our bartender ROCKED. I tend to be very picky when trying new beer and he was very patient in giving me samples and educating me on all the beers. We didn't eat so I cannot comment on the food, but I will be back and I'm doubting I will be disappointed! (: Looking forward to taking my beau along for the next visit!
(5)Anna T.
5 stars every time. Love the happy hour. If my dog could speak, he would probably beg me to take him to the OHSO back patio more often. Thanks for being so uber dog friendly OHSO! The burgers here are not to be missed and grab a pitcher of beer, it usually makes more sense financially and you're going to want to hang out for a while.
(5)Mandi B.
How have I not written a review for these guys yet?? I've been here mannny times and have not had a bad experience. The food is good and the beer selection is plentiful. I've had brunch a few times - all good. Brunch items are $10 and come with a mimosa or local beer, which is the best way cure what ails you! They also do a Sunday BBQ from 3-7 every week and that is delicious! Its $15 and you get 3 meats (mix and match, chicken quarter, pork ribs and brisket), coleslaw, potato salad and 2 pcs cornbread. Its awesome! OHSO's late night menu is pretty good too with simple bar foods that satisfy those drunk hunger cravings. Oh, and my review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention that their bloody mary is one of my faves. Can you guys please offer that with your brunch?? Brunch n bloody? I'll pay a couple bucks upcharge... Please?
(4)Bernice M.
I am a horrible picky eater which is my fault! I use to go in all the time to eat there chicken pesto sandwich. It was my birthday and my friends asked where I wanted to go and I picked there so I can have my favorite sandwich. It was very disappointing to find out they no longer made it! On my birthday :( so sad we had to leave.
(1)Seann C.
I am sorry to say that OHSO was only so-so. We came here because it had great reviews and we wanted to check it out. I am definitely impressed with the selection of beers, especially because I am a big craft brew person. They also sell and refill growlers which is nice. The staff was very friendly and I like that they have a dog-friendly patio (always a plus). The food was a disappointment though. I had the brisket sandwich with tomato soup and my girlfriend had the prosciutto flat-bread pizza. Now, I have had some good brisket in my day so I was excited for a good sandwich. I was surprised to see that it was pulled/shredded and drowned in sauce. The sauce wasn't bad but I could not taste the meat itself. Not sure if they were trying to cover something up or what but less is more when it comes to sauce. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The tomato soup was okay, but tasted a little thin like something was missing. The pizza had good points and bad points. The flavor profile was pretty decent, but I am not sure I would call the meat on the pizza prosciutto. If it was, it is not anything like I have tasted before (my girlfriend and I are big fans of good prosciutto). This was but very thick and tasted like a better version of Canadian bacon. Overall, not bad but not amazing either. Our waiter was great and made some good suggestions for beer based on what I was looking for. So now for the big question...will we be back? Yes, but only to grab drinks before heading elsewhere or if we have our dogs and want to chill for a couple brews. Other than that, I don't know if I will order anything to eat unless I know that they have improved the menu.
(3)Lisa S.
Although the staff is friendly, and the interior looked promising, as did the crowd, this brewery could do with a decent Chef to create tastier food. The micro-brews were so-so. Four Peaks wins by miles and miles.
(2)Paige S.
After my original Yelp review, I was contacted by the manager who asked for feedback about my previous (not so great) experiences here. He personally invited me to come back and give OHSO a try again. So, I pulled together a happy hour with about 7 of my beer drinking buddies and off we went. The good: The service was better and our orders were all correct. +1 star from my last review. The "eh": I just do not understand why the service is so slow here. We came early (4:30) and stayed until about 7:00 or so on a Friday evening. It was actually pretty slow at first, then definitely more hopping, but not jam packed. It took forever to get beers and half the time the beers were warm when they got to us?? Weird. I appreciated the conversation with the manager, who also introduced himself in person when we returned. He's definitely making an effort and it sounds like they are interested in being a hangout for locals, which is cool. As I said before, I think the concept of OHSO is great, the beers are amazing, the food is delicious... it's my hope that the service will continue to improve. If it does, this could definitely become a favorite hang-out.
(3)Keith M.
Try the hot pastrami, super good!!!
(5)Kyle M.
The closest thing to Oregon I have found in Arizona. This bar has a very Eugene/Austin/Bend feel to it that is hard to come by in the desert.
(5)Christian C.
I'm never disappointed with OHSO! The food is great (LOVE the OHSO burger) and they have an amazing selection of beer. I would only suggest that they keep the favorites on tap, I hate going anywhere to satisfy a craving just to find out they're out. For you dog lovers, they have an awesome dog friendly patio. And DON'T FORGET to grab some if their dog treats homemade from the spent grain. My pup Ginger goes nuts for these treats. Can't wait till the hot Arizona summer ends so I can jump back on my beach cruiser, and bike along the canal with my friends to enjoy another Beer Brunch on the patio with my pup.
(4)Samuel W.
Awesome happy hour specials. Big beers. I have a blast every time I come here.
(5)Allison P.
I have been here a few times and always had a positive experience. Love they give you treats for your dog. The food is really good and so are the drinks.
(4)Britt C.
I love OHSO! The beer selection is unrivaled. They have a great selection of Arizona craft beers from Four Peaks, Papago, Sonoran breweries and more. Plus they are on happy hour from open until 6pm- only $6 for a pitcher! OHSO has many options for seating from seats at the bar to high tops to couches. They have 2 outdoor patios- the one in the front facing Indian School which is always open and a back patio facing Camelback Mountain that is open on the weekends for brunch (served 9am-2pm). Both allow dogs so I brought mine one afternoon and the staff was great bringing him water & taking care of us! I didn't think the spinach artichoke + crab dip was anything special- way too much spinach and not enough artichoke and crab. Had their grilled cheese and it was amazing! The bacon was crisp and thick and a perfect compliment with the cheese & tomatoes. I've also had the Green Chili pulled pork sandwich that is incredibly delicious! Don't bother trying to pick it up with your hands- just use your fork. The service has always been great here and the restaurant is always clean. If I lived closer I'd be there more often!
(4)ViVi S.
Can't believe it took me this long to wander to my neighborhood bar...yes, maybe due to the parking situation. Discovered complimentary valet and it's a whole new ball game. Love the atmosphere - come dressy, come casual and you'll be greeted with friendly smiles. The AZ burger is killer; off the charts with the poblano aioli and jalapenos. No worries, with over 36 beers on tap, you won't be thirsty for long. I was most impressed by the staff; so accommodating and customer service oriented. Kudos to our waitress for handling a rowdy bunch of 14+ guests. Didn't get to check out back patio so my star rating was limited just for that. Pretty sure a return visit is in the very near future :)
(4)Tiara E.
Overall, it's okay. I definitely don't mind the patio. Especially since it is dog friendly. The service is pretty hit or miss depending on who you get. Sometimes you feel great and sometimes you feel like you intruded on your servers day. (Customers really shouldn't be that annoying to employees considering that is how you make money) My favorite is the BBQ Burger!
(3)Denise A.
We visited OHSO today for the first time, and went specifically for their beer brunch. Yes, you read correctly - BEER BRUNCH. They have several delicious brunch items for $10 apiece, all of which include a 10 ounce AZ beer from their extensive beer menu. The biscuits and beer gravy were to die for, and the carnitas were pretty good too. We tried a ton of different beers since OHSO offers 3-ounce samples for $1 each, including 4 or 5 of their own nanobrews. The wine list also looked great, but we simply didn't have enough time in our visit today to transition over to that side of the menu. We'll have to go back soon! Oh - and one of my favorite things about OHSO is their huge, dog friendly patio and bike parking section. They even make dog treats from spent grains leftover from the beer making. We will be visiting soon with our furry friends in tow. Thanks, OHSO!
(5)Deb S.
O.H.S.O. doesn't stand for anything in particular but who cares? This place has a nice feel, friendly service, and a terrific brunch. The food was uber-tasty, but what really wowed us was the $10 price for a brunch item plus a 10 ounce beer. Where else can you be fed like that? Good menu choices like breakfast burritos, green pork chile, and a fantastic french toast with toppings. Love the open garage door windows and the cool mist on the toasty Arizona patio.
(5)Shelley N' Tom K.
OHSO rita pizza... 5/5. Creamy cheese, flavorful pesto, crispy crust. Bomb ass. Cold local brews... mediteraen salad was just OK. Service was mixed. Very dog friendly spot. Come check this place out if youre in the area.

Because I'm really just a (slightly) overgrown 10 year old girl when it comes to food, I am always craving a grilled cheese. I remembered reading an article on Chow Bella about places that rock at grilled cheese sandwiches and OHSO was on that list. So last week whilst seeking a grilled cheese and not wanting to surrender to Sonic or 5 & Diner at such a late hour, OHSO popped into mind. I, indeed, ordered the grilled cheese and truthfully it was good but nothing special (keep in mind I am vegetarian so I ordered it without the bacon that normally comes on it). However, the side salad I ordered was DIVINE. For a such a small salad I was not expecting such a variety of flavor but it was peppery, sweet, tangy... complex. Very, very good. I only had one drink (framboise) but their beer selection was quite good. I noticed they carry Sonoran Brewery's White Chocolate ale which is my all-time favorite. (Sidenote: mix the framboise & the white chocolate ale for ultimate decadence) The atmosphere is surprisingly cozy - like a little hip cabin with bicycle parts on the walls instead of taxidermy and country lyrics on plaques. I can't quite remember why I avoided trying OHSO for so long but boy have I been missing out all this time. I will definitely be back.
(5)C. L.
We had high hopes for this place, as we live 2 min away from Ohso. We first visited Ohso Saturday 8/10/2013 for brunch. The food was mediocre the side of fruit was rotten, the pie was rubbery and microwaved but the beer was good and the waitress was too. When we told the manager about the fruit...she didn't even offer us a fresh one. We had been told about the Sunday only offering of their supposed famous BBQ all you can eat for $15. By several people, so we decided to give them another chance and go back the next day. Excited to try this offering we invited our family to join us on what we anticipated to be a delightful outing. Not so much ... Not at all. Our plate had more bread than meat, the chicken should have been called a salt lick because that's all that could be tasted. The ribs were ok and the beef brisket was to. By far the best was the brisket. However the meat was not BBQ at all, it was old microwaved meat with salt and some type of "BBQ'" sauce. The real issue was the server, a rather rude young lad in need of training in professional etiquette and mannerisms. When I ordered my second serving I expected another plate with the meat that I requested. Hold the chicken and keep the rest. Instead I was brought a little saucer with again more bread topped with a teaspoon of brisket and two emaciated ribs. Hello $15? Where is the food? My mother only ordered more corn bread, she later decided to take it home. When the rude water boy delivered the two take home boxes, he looked at my saucer that had the teaspoon of meat, large loaf of bread and emaciated ribs and said " oh no that's not how we do this. Its all you can eat while you're here." First of all there were 4 yes four people, only 1 person ordered what was supposed to be a second round of "all you can eat BBQ" and a bill well over $100.00 so waiter boy gives us attitude over corn bread a and saucer of what was only good for my dog to eat. Hello! Really, R-U-D-E-!!! We will never go there again and will share with our ENTIRE OFFICE what a waste of time, money and effort "OHSO Shitty" really was. If not to be in the company of my parents there would have been quite the conversation with the manager. And just to think that we considered holding our company luncheon at that place. No no no way! Not even if it was for free. Also, who microwaves pie? Oh that would be OHSO. I have never had a rubbery $7 piece of pie. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience and the loaf of bread. I give this place -5 star.
(1)Anne M.
Thanks for carrying the best two beers to ever touch my lips: Orange Blossom and White Chocolate ale. This Californian would turn Phoenician for this beer. Okay maybe not, but it's a shame it's not available where I live.
(5)Joshua O.
My wife and I went here and sat on the patio near the canal. The temperature was perfect for being outside and the view of Camelback was sublime. My only complaint about the seating was it was difficult to read our menus when we were there in the evening. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The chicken salad sandwich I had was very good and my wife loved the burger she ordered. All in all a very nice and relaxing Sunday evening dinner.
(4)Sarah M.
You can get a 3-ounce taster of any of the beers on tap for $1 or $2 each. I went with a group of friends, and we tried ALL THE BEERS. It is a night that will live on in the annals of history. I highly recommend it as an adventure, a group bonding activity, and an opportunity to discover new beers you like. The food is mighty tasty. I've had sweet potato fries at a lot of places, and these are hands-down the best. They're a little on the salty side, but that's how I like them. If only they offered them with Delux's aioli, then we'd be in business. We also got a meat & cheese plate and the grilled chicken flatbread pizza. They were both quite tasty and disappeared quickly. Our server was great. We were a big group, and it would be easy to mess up with all of those tasters. But he got everything right and checked in with us regularly. It also didn't hurt that he was a cutey patootey. The only con was that we were seated in an alcove with two booths, and it got really loud with all the sound bouncing around. I wish they'd put up a curtain between the booths and something on the walls to dampen the sound. For now, I'll just ask for a different table.
(5)Kevin B.
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I recommend OHSO for anyone looking to dine at a neighborhood bar and grill. I was really shocked when I dined at OHSO for a Sunday brunch. I figured the variety of beers would be the focal point of the brewery; boy, was I wrong. This place has some of the best dishes in Scottsdale supported by a huge selection of beer. Let me say this with more clarity: great food differentiates this place, not the huge variety of beers. This is a great achievement considering many breweries focus on providing rare beers with mediocre food. The "Burger + Cheese" is simply awesome. A GREAT brunch dish is the "Breakfast Burrito" as well as the "Breakfast Flatbread."
(5)David L.
Not a brewery at the moment but hopefully in the near future. The beer garden is pretty large and the building is cool. I enjoyed the Galic Pesto Hummus$9. Topped with a spicy cilantro pesto + pico de gallo and served with baby carrots, sliced cucumbers & warm herb pita bread. The snack was super filling. For a beer I enjoyed an Ommegang Witte $6. A traditional Belgian-style wheat ale with whispers of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. The quality of this beer is not quite there, just straightforward and simple.
(4)Kristopher K.
We've have stopped in here twice in the past year while visiting the Phoenix area both times were excellent. The first visit we only had beer and the selection was great. The beer menu has everything a menu needs which makes selecting your beer easy. The second visit we had dinner and some beers, the food was the best I had in a while, I wish there was somewhere in my town that was this good. The service was great, we had two servers because one went on break or something and both girls were very helpful. This place is a must visit while in the valley.

Our second experience at OHSO was much different than the first. After our last visit the owner, Jon was kind enough to reach out to us, invite us back and try to better the situation. His invitation coincidentally fell on the same night a friend was hosting a mixer for an amazing charitable organization, "Long Way Home." OHSO allowed our group to sit in the cozy room off the front patio and even donated a portion of the proceeds from each bill to the cause! When we arrived the place was packed. There was another event going on simultaneously on the back patio. The restaurant offered complimentary valet parking. I wanted to spare myself the embarrassment of having the staff sit in my filthy car so we parked across the street. :) Our group staggered in throughout the night and by the end we had upwards of 25 in our room. Our table ordered the veggie flat bread, the brisket sandwich, the spinach crab dip, fish tacos and a few pitchers of beer. The food was fresh, and filling, yummy and came out quickly especially considering how busy they were. Everyone in our party received their food and drinks efficiently and seemed to be having a wonderful time. Our server Janell was attentive and accommodating to our entire group. The owner Jon was in house and came by to check on our group and make sure all was going as planned. Thanks Jon, manager Stuart and the rest of the OHSO team for taking good care of us. It's great to see a small business owner so caring and conscientious of his customer's needs. On our way out, we picked up a few FREE peanut butter doggie cookies at the host station. OHSO is dog friendly, I'd love to bring our dogs for a visit, but they're a bit too nuts for the laid back environment. Thanks again OHSO for a lovely evening. My BFF lives down the street so we will be back.

You have to experience this place to find out for yourself what all the "RU-HA" is all about! The place has great food, great live entertainment, and great selection of Micro-Brews on tap!
(5)C.K. L.
Great place to go to for happy hour and cheap food/drinks. Parking might be an issue if you go at their peak times. You might have to park your car at the nearby Safeway lots and walk over. Great service and delicious food/drinks, can't go wrong with it.
(4)Kristin Z.
My boyfriend took me here for drinks after our first dinner date together. It has been his and many of his good friend's spot since they recently discovered it earlier this year. I am a HUGE fan of this place! Delicious food, great selection of beer, lots of seating, the back patio is great for game days and brunch. They have brunch specials which sometimes (if not always?) come with a complimentary mimosa or breakfast beer. Very dog friendly. Lots of bikers, hikers, etc. come here. Great staff! My favorite mixed drink is the Moscow Mule with extra ginger made just right is to die for! It's my boyfriend and I's go-to-spot. MUST TRY!
(5)Chris W.
Great back patio on a sunny day. Super dog friendly -- water bowls, dog treats, and welcoming staff, so our labrador was a comfortable part of our dining party. Chill atmosphere, very friendly (if a tad disjointed) service, good beer list, and we really liked our dishes (veggie burger and chile verde pork tacos). I'll come back without a doubt.
(4)William S.
O.H.S.O. is probably the best bar I've been to in Phoenix. Coming down from Flagstaff on an evening in late May, my wife and I were looking to celebrate, and remembered seeing this place and feeling intrigued. They still don't have their "nanoBrewery" going, but it looks like that's coming soon. What they do have is a beer tap that knocked my socks off. If you like microbrewed beer, this is the place to go. Half the beer list is from Arizona, including some of our favorite Flagstaff breweries, and many excellent Phoenix area breweries. The left side is from slightly further afield. No Bud Light here. Our biggest disappointment of the evening was that we didn't bring our dog. As soon as we walked in the front door, we saw a flashing sign for a "Dog Friendly Back Patio." The first server we saw told us to sit anywhere, and that the patio was available. When we got out there, the air was cool, the atmosphere was open, and the music was fun but not so loud we couldn't hear each other. The patio was clean, and well established. Our server was attentive and friendly, but not oppressive. We didn't have dinner, just the green chile dip (a warm kind of humus), the beet salad, and some beer. All of the above were tasty, and just what we were looking for. At the end of the evening we went back inside for a performance by the house band, The Persuaders, who were fun to watch.

We really enjoyed this place and look forward to trying it out again. We just had an app and beers but overall it was good. The service wasn't that good and they didn't bring the beer in cold glasses which was disappointing... Pros: Beer Selection - $1 tasters? I'll take it! Ambiance Green chile dip with yucca chips was fabulous!!!! Cons: Service (server just basically threw our drinks down and even got them mixed up, took a long time to get our drinks...) Giving warm-just-out-of-the-dishwasher-glasses for the iced-down-tapped-beers?? Big no-no when it comes to beer tasting and drinking!!! We look forward to trying this place out again!!!

If you like really, really good beers and a great patio, there is none better..... (Make sure you hit the BACK patio, not the one out front.....). We did Camelback Mtn in the morning and got here about 1:00...just in time for their $6.00 happy hour mini pitchers.... Both made for a great day....

Have you been here? No? Then GO!!!! They have an awesome beer selection from local, AZ, breweries as well as other breweries. Their food is A-MAZING. Seriously, so good. We've been here 2x and both times it was excellent. It's kid and dog friendly. You seat yourself and the beer selection is written on a chalkboard. They have brunch, and if you go, try the french toast and the breakfast burrito. OH MY, sooooo good! For $10 you get a beer (or mimosa) and whatever they are serving for brunch. Dogs are welcomed in their back patio. They also sell growlers, score! Service was awesome, both our waiter and the manager came to our table several times. We'll def be returning soon!

After an excellent time here Sunday, it's high time I get my review of OHSO out to the people! I've been coming here since day one, and the transformation in the few short months has been outstanding. The beers have always been excellent. Excellent selection from our local breweries here in AZ and from around the country. The food started slow....really slow. The first few times I ate here I had decided that it would just be a beer spot for me. But not lately. They have really stepped up their game and the beer brunch is incredible. $10 for a great plate of food (I prefer the steak and eggs) with a 10oz local beer on the side. Awesome. Where else can 4 people have breakfast and beers and get out of there for under $60???? NOWHERE that's where. This weekend I was suprised by yet another improvement: The back patio. What an AMAZING SPACE! They have turned this previously un-used area into an incredible drinking environment. AND they feature a local brewery out on the patio that will rotate regularly. Owner Jon Lane is seriously stepping up the involvement of the craft brewing industry and has his location poised to become the mecca of local beer. I sat in the sun, drank my Sonoran IPA, and revelled at how great a space and drinking locale OHSO has become. Just fantastic. Sometime soon OHSO will begin brewing their own beer and that's when this place will start to deserve a 6th star. Can't wait! OHSO is my favorite for beer and I will continue to come back here time after time.

One of my favorite spots. Food, beer, and awesome ambience.
(4)Rosie T.
Love coming here for brunch. When the weather is nice, I love to come here and sit in the patio. Everything on the brunch menu is $10 and it comes with a beer or a mimosa...can't beat that deal! My favorite dishes are the green chili breakfast burrito or the churrasco steak & egg. I used to always get their breakfast flatbread but they changed their flatbread few months ago to this much thicker cracker crust that my friends and I are not a fan of...please bring back the old flatbread crust!...it was so thin, crispy & yummy! Anyways, cool thing about this place is it's bike & dog friendly!
(4)Allison L.
I have only been here for breakfast but it's a great spot! $10 for a breakfast meal + a beer or a nice size mimosa. The food was excellent and the staff were super friendly. Great atmosphere where you can bring your dog if you're sitting outside, watch sports and enjoy the crowd.
(5)Kimberly S.
This is my new favorite place by far. The food is outstanding! I have now tried about four things on the menu and I loved them all! The patio is the best place to sit because they have fans, huge tvs, outside bar and best of all, dogs are welcome!! The white sangria is delicious as well as the huge selection of small brewery beers. Overall, this place meets all my qualifications for a great night, excellent food, drink, service, and all the fluffy dogs you can pet! :)
(5)Ashley P.
At a friend's recommendation, I went here with my husband and another couple for dinner. I am glad I took that recommendation. It was surprisingly slow for a Saturday night. We sat on the back patio that had misters and cool fans that were cleverly place in the wheels of bicycles. Our first server was phenomenal, I wish we had him the whole time. We got the cheese platter which was huge and delicious and by far the best I have had anywhere for a great price. 4 of us split it, and honestly, I didn't even need to order dinner because it filled me up. But, I did order the romaine salad which was fantastic. I tried my husband's brisket sandwich and the sauce was to die for. My friend had the cheeseburger which she said was only okay, but that was on the expectation that it would be fantastic because the cheese platter was so good. The beer was decent; my husband who is a brewer actually was not that impressed. But overall I thought the food was wonderful and I would definitely go back.
(4)Mary S.
Tonight was our first time here. Thank goodness they have complimentary valet parking! It is big and a bit noisy. But the food ....... oh my goodness! I had an amazing brisket sandwich, my husband and my friends husband had cheese burgers. And my other friend has a sweet chili burger. They all loved their food too. I want to go back and have the shrimp tacos Can't wait!
(4)Ken L.
Finally. Phoenix welcomes one of the greatest neighborhood gathering place of all time. Thank you Stuart, Justin, Cale, Adam and the rest of the A-Team crew for making this night and every night a great time with friends, great food and great beers.
(5)Jordan G.
O.H.S.O. is working it. They've got a good selection of beers and that propagates Phoenix's beer revolution, and they're liberal with the samples, which is terrific. With the exception of the arepas, the menu is fairly standard pub fare. I don't recommend the arepas, though, or at least the tuna one. It just wasn't clicking. O.H.S.O.'s best aspect is ambiance. With warm colors and wood accents, it feels like a nice, friendly pub you can bring your kids to. Considering the other options for decent beer selections around central Phoenix, O.H.S.O. isn't perfect, but it might be the best short of a drive to Papago. Also, Arizona's beer culture is picking up, but it is just not there yet. I appreciate O.H.S.O.'s dedication to local brewers, but they'd be better off reaching into California/Oregon/Colorado than hosting a bunch of mediocre Fretzky's taps. Or at least some of Four Peaks better stuff...
(4)Leilani G.
Great addition to the neighborhood! Since I discovered this place, I have been at least 4 times. The space is very big yet cozy. It has an area for whatever mood your in. There is the main dining area, the bar section, the front patio, and the super cool big back patio. The back patio is lots of fun, but only open during the weekend. You can even bring your dog. I have tried several food items and all were very tasty. Of course, there is the beer. Too many to comment on, but the staff is very knowledgeable about the beer, and are very patient with helping you choose something new. Keep this place alive and go as often as possible.
(5)David L.
I'm long overdue for a review for this place - my favorite bar in Arizona. As a craft beer fan (I try not to say "snob"...), I'm overwhelmed with a place with this good a selection of beers that I've never tried before or are worth trying again. In addition to the ones they brew themselves (which are quite good), they also have a terrific selection of locals and from elsewhere, on draft. I get sample sizes when I have the time, a pint when I don't. Happy hour is $6 for a pitcher (roughly 2.5 pints) for local Arizona brews. I've been here for happy hours, dinners, and late drinks with friends and have had a quality experience every time. To their credit, for a craft beer place they have a decent selection of mixed drinks and some wines. For food, I've been pleased with chicken sandwiches (very tender), the Sunday all-you-can-eat bbq, and appetizers. The food is decent enough given that the focus is on the beer (in my opinion). Servers have been quite knowledgeable about the beers. Atmosphere is kick-back casual, with a bright interior with various types of places to sit - booths, bar, tables, patio. Patio is dog-friendly. Parking can be tight but I've parked across the (rather busy) street (i.e., across Indian School), and it's not that big a deal. So far the only matches for beer selection are World of Beer (Tempe and Gilbert); Angel's Trumpet (which has no happy hour and the food is so-so at best); and 1702 (Tucson).
(5)Tiffany L.
I really like the vibe of this place. Been here a few times and it's always a good time. They have some awesome beers and you can create your own sampler since they're only $1 or $2. The food is decent. I've had the brisket sandwich and I tried a salad once. The service is kind of hit or miss at this place. Sometimes it's great and sometimes you sit there waiting forever. They have a pretty big patio out back, I haven't been out there yet since it's hot as balls right now. But I'm sure I'll be hitting it up once the temperature drops. The inside is pretty legit too, bar atmosphere, but they have this back room area that's got some couches for lounging...that part is kinda dark and relatively sketch but I could def see myself getting loud and tipsy back there. Overall, it's a good spot and one that I'm sure I'll visit often.
(4)Serena L.
Good food and great atmosphere. However, the service lacked in that we waited too long to get drinks ordered, food ordered, and the check. This would have been forgiven if it was busy, but it wasn't. Otherwise I would go back and give this place another try.
(3)Jennifer S.
Great addition to the Indian School corridor. I love the location along the canal and the patio has great views of Camelback Mountain. There is an extensive beer list and the drafts are reasonably priced. The vibe is very cool and the bartender was extremely friendly and helpful.
(4)Amy T.
I love this place. It's right down the canal from where I live, and one of the few patios that I know you can watch a sports game outside. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. Did I mention how cool their patio is? They even have bowls of water so you can bring the pups along! And Crispin, I love that stuff, this place has it. Taking off a star for happy hour ending at 6pm and no reverse happy hour. This place is DEAD after about 10pm on the weekends. Come on... put the special on....you know you want to....and then this would be the perfect bar within a quick walk home. And I'd be your biggest fan!
(4)Michelle H.
Good beer, impressive local selection and really exciting food. The steak frites (small plate) is great and not a small plate, the shrimp arepa has interesting (sweet) flavors and the berry cobbler fruit dessert is out of this world...the cinnamon ice cream is well-worth the price of admission. They also feature apple pie from Pie Snob, which is a major plus. The side of gnochhi is a steal at $5. The $10 brunch deal (brunch and a beer/mimosa for $10) is a neighborhood favorite.
(4)Albert H.
Truly don't appreciate the pathetic TEASE they have by naming this place with initials, yet refusing to tell us what they actually mean. If there isn't a clear meaning, then you're lame for having a name like this. Please, drop the act. They don't brew their own beers as of now. They're contracted out by someone else (Grand Canyon I think, which doesn't have a good reputation for award winning beers). Large tap selection, but sadly it is heavily skewed heavily towards Arizona beers which are not exactly highly rated, nor sought after by those really into great craft beer. Luckily they still have some of the better regional beers from California & Colorado (among others) on tap as well. Food is extremely high in price, excluding happy hour. Maybe they'll do better than the failed German places in this location before it.
(3)J C.
I love this place. I love the flat bread pizzas, I love the late night menu, I love that I can bring my dog, and I love the beers. I have a lot of friends that come in and out of town and I ALWAYS take them to O.H.S.O. It's one of those you have to try it places. The atmosphere is always fun and warm lots of things to look at and the food is great. Service is fast and attentive. I've been here for lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks. All great adventures. I am big on eating and drinking local and O.H.S.O. is my new favorite spot to have a relaxing drink. My boyfriend and I frequently come here and always bring our growlers to fill up. Can't wait for my next visit!
(5)Mark W.
My review is limited based on happy hour and general layout of the place. I did not get a chance to check out food. Overall, kind of a neat, casual, funky layout. Nice indoor bar area, and really cool outdoor patio. And of course it was very crowded on the patio. Parking in a pain, go with valet, you really have no choice. But it is free and fast. Wish they had more of their own beers, but I did try their IPA and it was good. Overall, I liked the place, and will go back for food/dinner in the near future.
(4)Lee T.
The outside looks pretty cool, but the inside missed big time. I think they were trying for hip, industrial... and instead it seems like a banquet hall. Lots of beers on tap, but both of ours were hardly cold, and my husbands was flat. He had the Pisa Flatbread, it was okay, nothing to drool over. I had the steak skillet thing... what a mess. Hardly any meat, and it's just a bunch of soggy french fries mixed with onion, pepper and some cheese. I usually enjoy checking out the Restrooms, as so many now adays are interesting... didn't even bother here. And they have valet parking!! Really!!? This place doesn't justify it. Big disappointment.... OK.... after I did this review, I got an e-mail from Jon, one of the owners. Was very surprised. Glad to know that they do pay attention to us Yelpers!! Good business Jon, and I hope that my review does give constructive feedback.... with such a response, we may give it another shot!! Good luck
(2)Abbey F.
Sad, but true -- another half-hearted attempt to create a local neighborhood bar falls short. The reviews on here already say it all, so here are my Cliff notes. Don't name your place something catchy, only to have no meaning behind it. We asked our server, and her answer was, "We don't know..." Make it up at this point, to avoid the buzzkill when the answer falls short. How about, "So-So" instead? Salads follow the motto, "Quality over quantity." The few little grapes hidden in the bottom didn't justify a $12 salad with no taste and bland dressing. I wanted to like, actually -- LOVE this place, and I was sad with the experience. The prices are high, and services is sub-par, and they might just get away with it for a year or so. I am the biggest supporter of local biz you will ever know, so it bums me out to write this. Maybe with some tweaks, OHSO can turn it around.
(2)Ricardo V.
I'm updating my last review. On my last review I said the food wasn't the reason I rated this place so high. After eating multiple times I can say this is a great place for hanging out, drinks and dinner. The patio is great. There are lots of different types of beer on tap and this place is fun and the food is great as well.
(5)David D.
I've been to OHSO once with a friend and another time with a date. I was excited to first go there due to their large arizona beer selection on tap. Walking in, the place has a very industrial Arcadia look to it. You could think of it as the Vig but with exposed cement board in the ceilings. The crowd is a nice mix, but I never got passed the vibe. It feels like a neighborhood bar where everyone knows each others name, but I don't know anyone. There doesn't feel like there's any energy to the place. Looking at the food menu, it's uninspired. My friend ate lunch there and said it was nothing that great. The thing I don't get is no happy hour. Okay okay.. there's happy hour.. but it's until 5pm. I don't work dental office hours and neither do most of my friends. With so many other places offering a better vibe, food, and happy hour within a mile, I just don't think I'll be going back again. I can sum up the whole experience to what happened on our way out. OHSO is like the candy jar my date and I saw when we walked out. She was excited to see it and grabbed one. A few seconds later she made this sour face when she found out it was black licorice.

Drive past this place every day to and from my trek to work. I first noticed it a few months ago when they put up the signage. The cool, sans serif font and brightly-lit sign caught my attention. As a designer, I'm always intrigued by good design. So I had this one in my mental "to do" list for quite some time. Finally hit it up last night and admittedly was not impressed. Upon walking in, it seemed very bare. I'm all for minimalism, but it didn't seem designed that way on purpose. It felt like when you live in a big house with not enough stuff to decorate it. The layout was sort of odd and it just felt empty. Granted, we went when it wasn't very busy, but still. That was what I immediately felt upon walking in. I ordered the prosciutto salad and my friend the cheeseburger with gnocchi and bolognese. They had a pretty good beer selection, but neither of us felt like drinking so will have to review that at another time. The service was pretty fast and our server was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff we encountered. The presentation of the food was attractive, so I can appreciate that. But I found my salad to be fairly bland with not enough dressing. I don't even like a ton of dressing, but it was just an awkward salad to eat, if that makes sense. It came with some homemade cheddar crackers which were also somewhat bland. I did not try my friend's cheeseburger, but he said it was pretty standard. Good but not amazing. The gnocchi and bolognese was way too sausage-y and didn't seem like anything special. Overall, a little to pricey for mediocre food. i like their concept/design and think they could take it a lot further. (hire me!) ;)
(3)Nathan T.
I went to OHSO on a busy night (Oregon vs ASU) and the place was packed. I got the Mahi Tacos and they were fantastic. The dish came with about 6 or 7 small tortillas, some slaw and a great sauce. I thought it was fun to assemble my own fish tacos, something I wasn't expecting. I ordered the Monkey Knife Fight beer (can't pass up a beer with that name) and it was also really good. I was loud there but I assume it was just because of the football fans and if you live in the area (Arcadia, Scottsdale) you can actually ride your bike on the canal and get there really easy. The best part by far was the take home doggie treat at the door. I thought that was a really good touch. Their menu was diverse enough to accomodate everyone and there are so many different beers, you could spend a few days drinking there and never try the same one. They get new beers on tap often to keep things fresh as well. I recommend this place for sure.
(4)Arizona T.
Cool spot! The GOOD Amazing selection of beers Decent deals for micro pitchers AWESOME Arizona Burger Good location The BAD Horrible Beef Brisket Sandwich - sent it back. It was just super DRY. Maybe just an off day. Flatbread pizzas are decent at best. Everything just slides right off it because the saice is too watery. NOISE- This place very badly needs to install some sound diffusers on the ceiling. There was a table of 6 drunk and laughing girls at the other side of the restaurant and we were blown away by how the sound carried. In a concrete place like this they need sound panels.
(4)Queen Happy Face X.
Beer was okay.... Couldn't find anything on the menu that wasn't fried or full of bread. My friend ordered a pizza and it came out wrong three times.
(2)Brian B.
Since my first review, I have been back a couple of times and had a chance to try out the menu and the dog patio. All of the food I've tried has been great, and the burger is one of the best I've had anywhere, and worth the price which is just a bit higher than average. This is definitely my favorite place within walking distance of home. The (dog friendly) back patio was nice and I got there as they were starting to close it down for the night and the bartender was over it. He obliged and served me and a few others who arrived a few minutes later, but he wasn't happy about it. I don't know if they serve their entire beer list in the back or if he just didn't want to have to go to the front to get them, but the beer list I got back there was a fraction of the list up front. Still, there were some good options and if that is the tradeoff for having my dog with me, I'll take it.
(5)Justin K.
I like this place. I'm rooting for it. It has some good things going for it, and some not so good things. The Good It has a good beer selection. I love a place that has good beers and not "many beers on tap" that prove to be the stuff sold at 7-Eleven. It's broken down into AZ based beers, and non-AZ beers to explore. The place is also has nice decor. It has a minimalistic vibe, still feels local and can see it becoming a go-to place for people in the area. The Bad Understand, I'll give a "get out of jail free" card here because the place is new and I do plan on going back to see how it matures, but for now, it has some growing pains. The service has been hit or miss. I've been several times. When busy, I have to fight for attention to place an order. When slow, I still need to call attention to the servers. If you're busy, that's fine. If you're slow, don't hang around with the other servers and chat. Once they discovered us, they were attentive. The food is average. I can understand this for a place wanting to be known more for their beers, but when you're official name includes the word "eatery", the food should be good. I've had the flatbreads and they can be better. Final comment is that I'm excited to see how their own "nano beers" turn out. I believe they are not allowed to sell their own brews just yet. Will be interesting to see how this place matures.
(3)Kim O.
A great neighborhood bar.. Good food, good drinks.. Love the $10 beer brunch, love the back patio, staff always friendly and helpful! Of course, great beer selection and one of my fav burgers!!
(5)Jason B.
Great beer, yummy food and a fun atmosphere; I'm a fan.
(4)robert t.
Tried it for the first time and was super impressed with the food. It was a quick lunch, had the Arizona Burger (if you like spicy), I have to disclose I am not a huge burger person but I do like burgers, having said that it is now the best burger I have had in town (better than the VIG (previous favorite)). And their sweet potatoes were also better than the VIGs, again disclosure... I do not have anything against the VIG it is an awesome place and we will continue to go there (specially for their amazing BreadPudding Dessert) I just happen to like the food at OSHO better, my new home for burger and sweet potatoes.
(5)Greg C.
Been to OHSO a few times since opening and there is a lot to like about it. First off, there beer selection is great! There is a wealth of choices available, many of which are not commonly seen or carried at most bars or restaurants. For the micro brew fans, you will love this place! It gives you the ability to try some of the best selections out there from across the state and also some of the most popular out of state brewery's. OHSO scores high marks on environment as well especially now that the new back patio has opened. Great idea to do that especially with the canal behind it and the limited space up front. If you get there during happy hour and wonder where all the people are, they are out back! My only downside to OHSO so far has been the food. I like the creative menu idea but nothing I have had has ever stood out in any way. It is neither good or bad, just average. I guess I tend to compare everything to 4Peaks and that is hard to compete with. But overall, who cares. Lets go drink some beer!
(4)Anthony G.
Anybody who spends a minute on Indian School road cruising to and fro Old Town has been sure to see the Orange Sign of O.H.S.O. teasing them as the latest BARCADIA experience to pop up. Yet another neighborhood bar/gastro pub which has become the genre of the moment in Arcadia. I must admit the formula works and if O.H.S.O. is able to keep pace then hurray for all of us. In this case the 3 star rating represents a perfectly MOR experience. Starting with design O.H.S.O. stayed true to the area trends with mix material semi-industrial set-up. It's many nooks and cranny's are probably meant to be quaint and homey but it seems a little busy and disjointed. And although the place is cute enough, I could not help but feel it was not complete. Maybe it wasn't. I was lucky enough to grab lunch just a couple of days after it opened, they may have some final touches to put on. In short I have nothing bad to say but I did not get that wow effect I was hoping for. As for food - it was one of those menus where nothing really reached out and grabbed hold of me. I settled for a flatbread on server recommendation. It was pretty flavorful and for value again not bad, not great I guess just about right. Another 3 stars. My service was excellent: Passionate, Proud of his new place, knowledgeable and excited. That was the best part of the experience and the one thing that will bring me back. My ice tea was full, recommendations sincere and my table clean. What more could I ask for? It was very refreshing to see that type of pride and enthusiasm from an employee. The local beer touch was refreshing as well and a great connection to the local community. In short O.H.S.O. which my server quipped was "OH-SO tastey" seemed to be OH-SO, O.K. There is reason enough to go back and see how it evolves. As it competes with some of the neighborhoods similar experiences I think it has just a little work to do. I am always rooting for a new spot and I will do the same for O.H.S.O.
(3)Ashlee M.
This place is FANTASTIC. The server was great, beer selection was impeccable, and the food was amazing. I have no complaints for O.H.S.O.!
(5)Jill D.
Great beer selection, but we were just in for lunch. I was definitely tempted, but remained a good girl. Or was a good girl for once... potato... pah-ta-tah. The spinach/artichoke/crab dip was really good. I need to find those yummy yucca chips by the bag. I really liked how the dip wasn't too heavy and cheesy. Nice clean flavors. We then spit the chicken salad sandwich with the side of the gnocci for an extra dollar. The gnocci for an extra buck was a STEAL. Seriously... should I have snuck out the back? Holy crap was that gnocci good. The chicken salad sandwich was super yummy too and I loved that it was served on a croissant. Service was great and we will definitely return soon. Next time I will get beer!
(5)Andrew F.
We tried OHSO for dinner tonight and could not have been happier with the food, beer, and service. For happy hour, you get $6 baby-pitchers of local brews -- good stuff. My wife (a vegetarian) had the Mediterranean Salad, sans meat, and loved it. I had one of the chicken flatbreads and it was delicious. I'd like to try almost everything on the menu. The beer list is unique and unmatched from what I've seen so far in the valley. Service was outstanding. Give it a shot. I hope this place sticks around, because we will be back often.
(5)Michael W.
One star for atmosphere and one star for beer selection. Although they only had one beer brewed on site. I have been there twice and decided not to return. The first time was on a Sunday and I was excited to find another late night food option in my neighborhood. The website had kitchen hours posted til 12am on Sunday nights. We arrived at 11pm and were told kitchen was closed for "deep cleaning". We returned a week or two later on a Saturday night for drinks and food. We sat at the bar and were ignored by three bartenders standing directly in front of us. Not even so much as eye contact for almost 3 minutes. The bar was not busy. I am in the industry and have no patience for lack of acknowledgement. Step your game up!!
(2)Justin S.
I keep going to this place beause its close and its the best tap + atmosphere close. I'm excited about the back patio opening up. I with they had some good IPAs on tap especially with it starting to warm up. The AZ IPAs are hem-haw; I want some Colorado or North Cali IPAs, heck even some Oregon ones would be nice. Oh and how bout some happy hours specials on the menu. Could be a good idea to change that menu up a litttle too.
(3)W. W.
Be prepared to wait. Went on a weekday night. Wasnt too busy. We ordered and did not get our food until exactly one hour after placing it. We were then told our meal would be "taken care of" only to be told later by Stuart that this was not the case. As a dog lover, i wanted to like this place. the food was pretty good, but i cant recommend a place that requires an hour after placing an order, apologizes by promising to comp the meal and then changes course when the check comes. Too bad. Would have loved to have been regulars there. Nice patio; sub par service.
(2)Barry A.
I'm not gonna front: I applied to work at O.H.S.O., the new Arcadia eatery and nano-brewery, and did not get a call back. For that reason, I totally understand if you feel this review to be biased. That being said, I will probably be at O.H.S.O. everyday. I live in the neighborhood, am unemployed, and they have pitchers of Arizona beers for 5 dollars till 5pm. Hello alcoholism! When I saw this deal, I saw my life flash before my eyes and it involved a lot of weight gain mixed in with a heart attack. Unfortunately, I only saw this offer after ordering a soda. (I was sweaty and out of sorts, don't judge.) So, my future would have to wait. I'm also a vegetarian and while there are options-thankfully!-for us ninnies, I don't feel comfortable basing my entire review for things not applicable to a vast majority of the general population. Just know that. That being said, I got the veggie burger with a side of yucca chips and "dipping sauce." The dipping sauce turned out to be guacamole. Why they couldn't just be out in the open-it's 2011, people aren't scared of guacamole, y'all-was confusing. I felt mislead. I want some unknown dipping sauce! That's would be exciting. But that is not reality. The yucca chips tasted like thick regular chips of good quality. The veggie burger came on a buttery challah roll and featured some cherry tomatoes that had been marinated and some greens. The actual patty tasted pretty much like a soft, large falafel croquet. It had no sauce on it from what I can tell. I asked the bartender if a condiment should be put on it and he was like, "I like ketchup and mustard on it." This, I guess, is valid. It's marketed as a burger but it still seems like heresy. Everything else is abnormal about it-why would I put on the default condiments? Maybe some tsatziki? At the end of the meal, I had three samples of three beers for one dollar each. (Confused?) Two were from Arizona-a cream ale and Good Vibrations-and the third was from Montreal and made the other two seem like some ugz stepchildren of a beer master. So tasty, Canada! While you'd get strange looks, if you were to order 4 of the Montreal samples it would be the same amount of beer for fewer bucks than normal. Is it worth the scorn of your bartender? That is for you to decide. The main space is chill. In the interview, they noted how they wanted people to feel comfortable and stay for awhile. The furniture, airiness, and instructions to grab a seat wherevs ably connote this. There are TVs but they are not intrusive. The owners were rushing to get this restaurant open and while maybe no one else cares, I feel like they could've done a bit better with the bathroom. It has been barely remodeled from the old space, which is most noticeable because everything else looks so lovely. Except this weird, changing-color-announcement-board imploring you to try a beer in the foyer-that also seems out of place. In spite of these missteps, I'm down with what these people are trying to do. They have plenty of bike parking, they play decent music, they have a good menu, they're friendly. It is hard for things to come out as envisioned. (To wit: My food photography. Do you know how awesome that was gonna look in my head?) With time and work, I imagine things will get better.

First off, let me congratulate OHSO on being open for business! I was thrilled to see another local watering hole open in the neighborhood. I frequent Arcadia Tavern and JT's often and will most likely add O.H.S.O to the rotation. Upon entering OHSO, I remember my first impression being "Is this place really ready to be open for business". I noticed a few unfinished details on the building (maybe intentionally) that left me wondering if this place decided to open overnight. Simple said, I appreciate good service. There was a lack of this at O.H.S.O. We were not greeted when we walked in. There was a group of employees talking at the host stand and I had to approach them before they recognized our group. They quickly said it was open seating and got back to their converstaion. We grabbed seats in a booth in the bar area. We probably sat there for about 5 mins trying to make sense of the various colored menus strewn across the table. As we were all very thirsty for a cold beer, we decided to finally order at the bar. Someone eventually came by. After some of our party left, 2 of us moved up to the bar and asked the bartender a few questions. No one seemed to know what was going on. Everyone appeared to be extremely busy with "busy work" instead of helping the patrons. Seemed like a lack of training with the staff. Overall, I think this place has the potential to be a cool spot and truly hope it does well. If I could offer a few suggestions, they would be: 1. Have a dedicated host(s) greet people at the front door. Take a hint from Arcadia Tavern. I have never walked in there and not been greeted by a friendly smile. 2. Get the music in order. If you want to a progressive/hip local brewery, you are going to have to do better than a "killers" album that was popular 4 years ago. 3. You have something that people want...BEER! It's great service and attention to detail that will keep patrons coming back. I look forward to my next visit and I hope some of these kinks are worked out.
(3)Michael C.
Love this place. Especially out back. Sunday brunch is a blast. Lively crowd and pet friendly.
(5)Grigour S.
Honestly, I didn't fall for the parking accommodations however the staff, beer and decor are very nice.
(4)Patrick B.
I liked it. The beer was good, the hummus was excellent, and they even offered a free treat for my dog (made from spent grain from brewing). That said, I think it could easily have been a better value, and I wish that they offered better vegetarian/vegan selections -- I was meeting with a friend who is vegan. This place was great at offering a trendy pub ambience, but I will have to check back in another few months to see how they're doing on everything else.
(3)Brian J.
OHSO has top notch beers representative of their respective styles. Small batch brewed, delicious and properly balanced. They also have a ton of other local, regional, and national crafts on draught. The food is good too. Fresh ingredients, creatively prepared. The atmosphere and location is perfect. Outdoor seating in front and rear. Misters, fans, dog and bike friendly.
(5)Melissa H.
Fun place for a few beers. Don't come hungry. The food is not amazing. (I'm hoping with time it'll get a little more inspired) The plus side is that you won't offend any timid friends with scary foods, its your predictable cheese boards and flat breads. Its just that it wasn't great....uninspired perhaps? Do come for the beer. Although a few of the more interesting beers that were listed were sold out on the day we visited, there were plenty more beers to peak everyone's interest. The prices for the beer were reasonable, the food meh. Service was okay. Not the servers fault, they were just really busy and working out kinks I think. I'm sure it'll get better as the weeks progress. The music however was great. A good mix of kicky (but not standard) 80s music (think Pet Shop Boys and not George Michael) along with some fun newer alternative music. Great locationk parking is going to be tricky, I suspect eventuallly they'll just put in a valet. The interior is a lot of fun and comfy set ups for folks almost like a Vig patio setting indoors.
(3)Jennifer W.
Great restaurant/bar. Lots of their own brews. Great beer selection. They even had a cider for me! I'm not a huge fan of beer, but cider beer is great! Everyone at my table seemed to like the beers that they had. I came with party of 10-12 people and they were able to get us a table. We went on a Tuesday and they had happy hour until 6 p.m. They weren't offering any food specials. But, they had specials on pitchers of beer. I ordered the fish and chips. It was three huge pieces of Mahi and fries. Delicious, but too much for me to eat. The flatbread pizzas looked delicious. I definitely want to go back again and maybe try one of their flavored beers and a pizza. :)
(5)Joey A.
Very nice place with an awesome beer selection and tasty foods. The AZ burger was as good as the server said it would be. Hard to find parking for dinner because it was so packed but valet was complimentary at least. Not much of a night scene but great for an early evening.
(4)Kendrick W.
I absolutely loved the flatbread pizza. Very good. I was a little disappointed with the beer though. I had the orange blossom and the orange pail. I'm not sure exactly what it was but they just seemed very hoppy or strong, but not in a good way. They were good but not great. But just my opinion. Can't wait to see the outside once they are done renovating it. It was closed last week.
(4)Ryan B.
Warm beer mugs and warm beer...not a good combination if you are a brewery. Please get some frosted mugs in that place!
(2)George G.
A friend and I met here last night and had a great experience! The restaurant itself is very cool, the staff is great and they've got great beer and food! The complimentary valet is also a nice touch.
(5)Sean M.
OHSO Is my go to for a craft brew here in the valley. With a rotating beer list, friendly staff, and an awesome covered (and cool) patio, there's not too many others than can compare.
(5)Jessica L.
I didn't try the food here but the selection of beer is good. The service was a bit slow; but for the huge crowd they had the night I was there they performed about as well as they could. The bartenders were nice in both areas I sat in; both out back on the patio and also at the bar out front. It's a great place for large groups as there are plenty of sections to hang out in throughout the place.
(4)Kelly J.
Super dog friendly bar w/a kick ass patio that sits right on the canal backing up to Camelback...prime real estate for a business like this! They promote riding your bike to their bar and are happy to provide you with a bike lock! Haven't tried the food but heard good things. Saw a few plates when I was there and it's def does not look like your typical bar food!
(4)Susan C.
This has become a firm favorite - great indoor and outdoor space. The back patio is awesome when you bring your dog. The food never disappoints - bring your appetite - the portions are huge ! If you like beer, you can try the samples before you get your pint. I love the cheese plate - such a variety, and then the popcorn on the plate is a cool alternative to chips. It is all really filling and comes out beautifully presented. my partner likes the fish tacos they have. We have had their salads too. Whatever you have it is all good. Good food, good atmosphere - what more do you want !
(5)Brom L.
I thought food was good. I particularly liked being able to sit outside. Lots of seating. Just a bit loud on the night I was there but, despite the crowd, service was fast enough.
(4)Crystal C.
I love the atmosphere of this place and has a really cozy back patio. You can't go wrong with the 4 cheese flatbread pizza and they are always nice enough to throw on some pesto for me too. I like the beer and wine selection but the only thing I have found is they seems under staffed when I have been there. Other wise thumbs up.
(4)Jane F.
great local spot, a hidden gem if you will. great place to bring the dogs, menu is decently priced and the food is delicious. not to mention the service, fantastic. i have every intention or returning. well done!
(5)Hydro W.
This place is typical what Arcadia dining is about these days. The atmosphere is great with the patio but the food and service is not good at all. At least they are busy and people like to be seen.
(2)Anna G.
Came in for happy hour the other night. It wasn't too busy or crowded. The service was super attentive, felt a tad rushed by the server but no biggie. The Ahi Tuna salad was GREAT and priced well. Dressing was really tasty and tuna was perfect. They had quite a few happy hour drink deals. Definitely recommend!
(5)Elyse R.
This place had a really nice back patio...and I even enjoyed it on an 108 degree day due to the misters all around. The layout was great. The beer and pulled pork were amazing! The service at the outdoor bar was hilarious/pathetic...the bartenders were seriously tuned out and either forgot to offer us napkins/silverware or kept asking if we were done every 4 minutes...we also found it amusing as the one bartender who had been there since we sat down--and who also helped us--looked over at our friends and said, "do you need a drink or a menu?" And we were like, "uh no actually were leaving we were here the whole time." lol....overall though everything was delicious and the dog friendly environment on the patio is a huge perk!! Loved the pups!! And anywhere that accepts dogs as well as people is def alright in my book.
(4)B F.
It's nice to see a place dedicated to beer. I'm reserving my complete review for when this place actually becomes a brewery - I'm certainly hoping they will continue to shine. That said, the selection of all things drink-wise is quite impressive. I'd say I hope they rotate in some beers and out others, but the choices are so vast that they truly don't need to do that (but I hope they keep up with the vast options). Even as brewery, it would be nice to have so many choices if you weren't feeling a specific drink. Tons of delicious choices on the food menu as well. I love that there are everything from nibbles to full blown meals. Prices right in line with the other establishments in the area. It's right along the multi-use canal path, so it could make a great place to stop in for a drink (and food) after a ride around town. I can't wait to visit OHSO more often.
(4)Courtney G.
LOVE this place! I've only sat on the patio- which is very nice and right on the canal. It's very dog friendly with water bowls and free treats provided! Really good hamburgers too.
(5)Cory S.
Very cool bar with very nice staff and servers. The beer selection is huge so there will always be some new beer to try every time you go. I only had a chance to have a burger for food, but if it is any indicator of the rest of the food they make, their food is delicious and a steal for the price. All in all I would say this is an outstanding bar whether you want to go and have a few drinks hanging out at the bar or enjoy a delicious dinner at any number of tables or some more private booths.
(5)Sarah W.
I love looking at the beer selection here honestly. Food on the other hand was not all too impressive. For the prices I expected more than mediocre and I definitely did not get that here. Such a disappointing first time b/c it really clouds my boyfriend, his friend and my judgement as far as wanting to return.
(3)Gregg W.
Being an out of towner, and one who digs on the local scene, it was a pleasure finding OHSO! I mean what's not to like about nano-brewery beer right? 1st off - great service... we had a party of 19... no "OMG face from the manager / hostess" - nothing but... "No prob... we got this!" - Waitstaff was off the charts friendly & efficient... definitely added to the experience. Menu is small plates, big plates, flatbreads, salads & something you almost never see on menus... Arepas... After a couple of 6% alcohol content "Kilt-lifters"... it was time to chow down. Feeding a herd of 19 buzzed semi-mature but hungry men is no easy task. I had the beet salad & the shrimp taco small plate... Small plate? It was 5 tortillas and a whole lot of shrimp cooked to perfection... awesome! The others dined on ribs, pulled pork & pastrami... amongst other things... not one negative among the chosen chow... Interesting mix of locals and hipsters... I guess the bird-shit covered maserati belonged to one of the local posers? Perhaps... but for the most part, a fun, easy going crowd who were there for the food... and the mostly, the beer... A definitely must try in the AZ
(4)Sian R.
LOVE THIS PLACE. Went to OHSO on date lunch with my husband, it was fantastic. Beer choice was just awesome and even managed to find a new favorite cider . I had the steak tacos and my husband had the shrimp. Both plates were just great superb flavor and plenty, the presentation was really good and just made you ant to go back again. Can't wait for a return visit
(5)Jon B.
We discovered this place in the current Phoenix magazine today. The place has a great look outside, upon arriving and inside was just as pleasant. It has a great patio out back but goodluck finding it. I read that one is to follow the Paw prints on the floor...could not find the Paw prints and had to ask for directions. I did like that they provide Dog biscuits and water out back. We sat down starving, when our very friendly server, Hillary, immediately arrived to welcome us. Being our first time, we were eager to hear about the food but she completely assumed we were there to just drink. Are you pushing the brew here folks or the food? At least ask us why we are there first before you go on and on about the beer. We started out with the Garlic hummus, which was good but it came out rather quickly. I question whether it was freshly made or from Cisco Foods. The cucumbers that came with it, were dried out, gross and rubbery. My partner ordered the Green chili stew Tacos and I had the Barbecue hamburger. Both were ok..it's above average, Bar food and need improvement. One of the tacos had a big piece of gristle. Don't you check your meat chef before you send it out? Complete lack of focus and concern for the quality of the food being sent out. You might not care for my review but if you care about your brand and what you represent...not just your brewery...you will take our first visit review seriously. I know this may sound harsh but I must remain honest. People may come for great brew but they also for great food.
(3)Kari R.
Love this place! It totally reminds me of my favorite bars back in Austin, TX. It's very indie and eclectic - definitely has its own vibe! Very nice patios in each the front and back and well as delicious food! I definitely recommend checking it out!
(5)Christopher N.
more like a 3.5 stars and strictly a beer review, though beer is my food. If I were to convert a beer hater to the beer world, I would bring them here. It's clean cut, modern with a sweet and not too hoppy tap list. The list is pretty impressive, half from Arizona and the rest are seasonal beers from known breweries. Taster's a $1, $2 for the rare beers. If you're a new beer convert: Try the White Chocolate Ale, Orange Blossom and OHSO Raspberry Wheat. For you beer geeks you don't need my advice, though the White Chocolate was my favorite on tap. Surprisingly wheaty, with milk chocolate body and a clean crisp finish. My major complaint here is that it just doesn't feel like an authentic beer bar, it looks the part, but its lacks something. Quoting the bartender, "we keep what sells." Not exactly a mood lifter. I know it's a business, but I've come to expect more from my bartenders. And it's not the best place to spark up a beer chat with your neighbor. I'll be back for happy hour, it's tough to beat $5 for local beer, convenience and some good TVs . A note of caution to prevent awkward moments. Before settling in, check the bar in case you run into your pops.
(3)Christian B.
First let me say that I have been to OHSO several times and genuinely enjoy this place. As of late I am not overly impressed with some places in the neighborhood. They seem too uppity and lose their appeal after the first beer. The first thing that hits me is the valet at the front door. The parking lot is congested and very limited in parking already. Now you get to throw in taking away spots to a "complimentary valet" that is worthless. They park your car 30 yards from the front door when you could open up more parking for regular customers. I wasn't even going to use the valet and found them inappropriate, rude, and almost killed my experience before entering the place. Our bartender comped our food after hearing our complaint which was nice but no one should have to apologize for a crappy service that can easily be taken away...I thank you for seeing the problem and addressing your customers. For the bar itself, the beer is always good and the food is pretty good. The location is awesome and I will probably come again but I will take a look around and see what can accommodate a more laid back group.
(3)Brian D.
Great food and selection of Arizona microbrews. If you like microbrews this is a great place to go. They do not serve any mainstream beers so if you are looking for a bud light this is not the place to go, its a place for true beer lovers. The food was fantastic. I had the meat and potato pizza which I was hesitant of at first but the waiter recommended it and I loved it. My friend had the burger, it was very simple but the burger was juicy and delicious. Drinks can be a bit slow when the bar is packed but that is expected with a brand new place and I'm sure this will be fixed as everyone gets adjusted.
(5)Lynn M.
My first visit to O.H.S.O. wasn't a good experience. If I wasn't there with 7 other friends, it would have been a disaster. We waited after ordering our drinks, we waited after ordering our food (the ticket machine in the kitchen never printed out any orders..did the chef think maybe something was wrong??? Nope !) The wait staff was friendly, but never came around to tell us our food was "on the way" or the reason why we had to wait. I doubt I will ever return...oh, food wasn't 5 stars, maybe 3 stars like this visit.
(3)Jennifer N.
I have enjoyed OHSO several times. Love the food and the drinks. Love that it's right off the canal and is bike and dog friendly. However, what I really want to review is their event planning. They are the only place in town who would work with me when planning an event for 50-80 people in which they did not require a deposit or that we spend a specific amount per hour, and did not require us to buy off a specific menu. They did separate checks for EVERYONE! The staff was friendly and attentive to work with before and during the event. Their staff followed up with me all the way up until the event. They allowed us to take over a substantial portion of their patio, they were friendly, had staff working specifically with our tables, and had super speedy service. I highly recommend them!!! Our party goers only had glowing reviews!! Based on this experience, I am happy to give them my business and recommend them to everyone!
(5)Val L.
No Coors light here!! Great beer and food....back patio is fun!
(5)Laura V.
Any place that has a bar for dog water bowls has to rock!
(4)Ryan B.
Great selection of beer and very friendly to cyclists! The food here is good as well ! Parking is a little tight but overall a great experience!
(4)Emmanuel L.
We were looking for a place to have an early dinner my kids and I on our way to the airport. Great place. Excellent service and creative food.
(5)Jeff M.
We live in the neighborhood so were excited to see a new place with a huge range of beers open up. The decorations are a bit sparse, but we like to sit on the patio or the conversation areas near the bar, which are perfect this time of year. Yucca chips are personal favorites, as is the gnocchi bolognese. Burger wasn't bad, but a burger is just a burger. They're still adjusting their menu it seems, which I expect any place to do for the first few weeks as they settle in. I really love their commitment to craft beer, especially Arizona beers. $5 pitchers of AZ beer before 5:00 is not only quite a tasty offering, but appeals to my love of all things local. Give OHSO a try!
(4)Jason G.
Great beer selection and excellent food!
(5)Doreen H.
I've been here twice and not impressed - seems highly overrated. The view is nice from the patio and it is right next to the canal - also the barking bar is cute. I would go back after biking along the canal for a quick beer but that's about it.
(2)Kenda V.
This location has been re-born as a really comfortable hang-out. NICE open patio for the bar, choice of couch seating and low top or high top tables. Way to support the local breweries with a very solid offering of brews from all over Arizona! Nice menu, not to full of itself but interesting enough to make us ask a few questions. The Yucca Chips are nothing more than a crunch delivery system for the guacamole which is tasty! Husband says YES to the fresh, flavorful, juicy burger - even the bun was good and it stood up to the toppings! Apple pie tasted homemade except BETTER because my crust sucks and their's did not! GOOD DATE NIGHT PLACE or place to meet up with friends and hang!
(4)michael w.
I dig this place. Shame they were out of Papago Orange Blossom when we came! Food is good and lovely selection of beer!!
(4)Maribeth E.
I want to like it. I really do. They have an amazing back patio and carry Tito's vodka (which is super delicious if you haven't tried it). But every time I've gone, something has disappointed me. First off, service is nothing to write home about. The first time we were here, we grabbed a table in the bar and were told we'd have to check in with the hostess for that table. We checked in with her and were told it would be about 15-20 minutes. We headed to the bar to grab a drink while we waited. After we got our drinks, the hostess found us and said our table was ready. Guess what table it was. That was a big WTH. Our server had to be flagged down by us when we wanted to order another drink or food. He was ok with visiting all of his other tables around us though. The next 2 times I've been here, the service was better, but terribly slow. Next up is the beer. It is tasty. I don't drink beer, but my friends let me try the ones they ordered. I know that beer is best cold. I imagine how much more these tasty beers would be if they were weren't warm. It is a nanoBrewery for goodness sake. Keep your main product cold! Finally, the food. I'm just going to talk about one instance. Brunch. We ordered a breakfast flatbread that called for an over-medium egg to be on top. The egg was completely cooked. The yolk was solid which I find disgusting in a fried egg. The point of an over-medium egg being on top of a pizza is so the runny yolk gets all over it. And it's amazing when done right. If the yolk isn't going to be runny, then scramble the darn things so it can be easily spread across the pizza. The cost of the flatbread did include choice of beer or mimosa, so that helped the cause. Will I return here? I'm sure my friends will want to have drinks on the patio and I will go with them. Will I ever suggest to go here? No way.
(2)Dan W.
First I would like to mention that I really enjoyed the atmosphere of OHSO, the fairly new back patio that is open has a fantastic view of the south side of Camelback mountain. And you can't argue about the great selection of beers they have as well as the very reasonable prices that they offer particularly through happy hour. That being said their choice and preparation of their food is something else to consider. While I understand they are new to the area and many restaurants go through various transitions until they get the product just right, I feel OHSO is still very much in the beginning stages and will become better over time.
(3)Lesa B.
What a nice, chill place to eat, hang out, or just have a beer or three. I had the white chocolate and the Essie coffee beers which were great. We loved the Green Chile Pork Sliders, sweet potato fries, and the AZ Burger. We plan on going again real soon.
(5)Mary C.
Oh soo many microbrews to taste! Small pitchers, traditionally warmer than your domestics. The meat & cheese plate is a great app-yucca chips too! Go when the weather is nice & hang on their back patio. Cheers!
(3)Ally K.
Being from Seattle, we love to go to brewerys and try local beers. The food was good as was the service. Definitely worth trying.
(4)Sami C.
Love the location and two patios but last visit our server wasn't that great. We went for the Great Pumpkin Festival which wasn't really anything at all besides a few pumpkin beers and a pumpkin pork entree. (Two of us out of the five don't eat pork). The appetizers we did order were alright but not impressive. Overall this experience was a tad disappointing especially since our server wasn't very friendly nor very attentive. I've been before and had much better service so I will be back and am sure the service will be better.
(3)Lynsey W.
Stopped in for breakfast. Got a breakfast wrap and a coffee beer (cant remember the name) off there $10 brunch and beer menu. Wrap was good, beer was AMAZING. Music and atmosphere were an extra bonus. Will return to try their lunch/dinner and of course beer. *update*- upon having dinner here I have decided this is just a beer place and I will not return willingly to eat here.
(3)Deborah M.
The noise makes it almost impossible to talk. The staff looks like the customers or the customers are better dressed. Staff is wrinkled, sunglasses on the back of their head, it's hard to know who you supposed to ask for help. Once you know, they are responsive, friendly and willing to please. The food is fair, dressings, sauced are too watered down. The food is minimal in terms of amounts for the money. It is a favorite among the neighborhood but these are now the adults whom hung out at the old Monastery behind Whitney & Murphy funeral home. I am beginning to think my fellow Az peeps have no idea what good casual food is about. The service in AZ is terrible, all of customer service in businesses here is terrible, restaurants and retail. watch out for the Valets, they drive customers cars too fast around the parking lot, here and Arcadia Tavern! I am entitle to my opinion since I have worked my way through school as a waitress/bartender , valet service manager and service consultant. Deb
(2)Collin R.
Great place. Great atmosphere, brews and food. Their own brews were good, as well as a large selection of craft beers from around the nation. Had the AZ Burger. Very good! Fries are just average, but the burger was moist, big and tasty.
(5)Andrew T.
So far, so good. Great selection of local and/or seasonally appropriate beers. Burger is one of the best I've had in some time. Go on and get that bacon. Looking forward to their home brews, starting to be served in August.
(3)matt b.
I have been here a few times too. Mostly for happy hour. You cant beat the 6 buck pitchers. I just wish they would add some food items to the HH menu. The food is good, the location is good, the atmosphere is good. Its all good!
(4)Lizzie C.
Good beer and good food, what more can you ask for?! I had their raspberry beer and it was good. I ordered their non-margherita flat bread pizza and it was really good but definitely not a margherita!
(4)bret w.
have been back several times over the last few months, it is always the same, great food great service great prices. Keep it up, and we will keep coming back!
(5)Matt F.
Went there for the first time last night. This place was awesome. Has an amazing patio and beer selection. A perfect atmosphere for any type of crowd. Great music. My new favorite place for sure.
(5)Fred P.
Stopped in here Thursday for lunch with my dog. Great place to hang out for both of us. Server greater us with a water bowl and home-made biscuit for the dog. I had one of their own brews though they had a wonderful selection on tap of other breweries. They pulled pork sandwich was great.
(4)Kristin K.
Thanks so much for responding to my original Yelp post. Went back and had an amazing meal and experience!
(5)Ben S.
If I lived closer I would probably eat and drink here weekly. The outside patio is the best part about this place! I love how a lot of patrons ride their bikes to OHSO and how they have a bike hanging from the outside bar. If you like beer and I mean good beer you will enjoy this place! They have an amazing amount of beers on tap and support all of the Arizona micro brews! The food is alright...my favorite is the pastrami sandwich! Doesn't matter your age you will enjoy this place and the owners seem like real good guys and have put a lot effort making this place great!
(5)Chris R.
I stopped in the other day while I was running around and decided to try this relatively new brewery/eatery in my neighborhood I keep driving by...I had a nice hoppy IPA and got the garden burger with it - both extremely enjoyable (I don't know how they got the garden burger patty to resemble an authentic backyard BBQ beef patty!). It was about 2 PM on a Thursday, so it was a totally casual atmosphere, hardly anyone in the joint...bartender friendly, service good...a pretty chill hang, all in all. I think that's what I liked most - the chill factor.
(4)John J.
If you are looking for a good burger, and sweet potato fries, or Yucca Chips then this is your spot. I am not a beer drinker, but if you enjoy a good brew they are also a micro brew, with a sampler. Their Arizona burger is quite spicy, and very good.
(4)Le C.
Wonderful vibe and delicious fare. Enjoy and evening on the patio with a bottle of local brew and a chat with friends!
(5)Jimena M.
Love this place. Great food. A large beer selection. The patio area is unique and is pet friendly. It even has a "Barking Bar" where your pup can get a drink of water.
(5)A Y.
Great changing beer list, without pandering to the mainstream boring choices. Manager Paul is a class act.
(4)Bill F.
If you like hot cucumbers, you'd better get into OHSO fast, because I'd bet this place has a six month to one year lifespan. Really, hot cucumbers? My partner and I were excited to see OHSO from the street, and I was particularly intrigued with the "Nano Brewery" moniker. Sounds great! Big disappointment. They are trying to be like St. Francis or The Vig, and it ain't working for them. And then I ordered a $12 or $13 "flatbread," which was a tiny square pizza with hot cucumbers on top of it. That's right . . . cooked cucumbers. Ugh!!! After scraping the cucumbers off, the balance of the chicken flatbread tasted OK. But like so many things on the menu here at OHSO, it was overpriced and uninspired. I like the beer list, but that's about it. Give it a little more intimate interior design, set up an outrageous happy hour, and this place could make it. But not like it is now. No way. Edited on Jan 3, 2015: We've been back. We really like the back patio there. Beer choices are great, not so much difference on food. I'd like a better happy hour. Bumping up by one star.

One of my most favorite places to go! And I haven't even tried the patio yet! Loud enough that a "feisty" kid doesn't bother others but not so loud you can't talk to people at your table. Food has been good and consistent. Beer selection has yet to disappoint. They focus on local...so I"m a fan!!!
(5)Felipe S.
Very good. I'd probably throw it into the category of a gastropub. Because even though they brew their own beer, there is a great selection of other local brews and some great craft beers from around the country. Add this to some great pub grub and you have what most people would like in a gastropub. I wasn't very impressed on my first visit back when it opened. But it's vastly improved over the months. Food quality and preparation has especially been better. The best deal is the weekend brunch. Breakfast items are very tasty and they throw in a 10oz beer to the $10 deal. Open air dining is a plus.

I was very excited to check this place out with a friend of mine. It's always nice to have a new spot open up in the area. You always hope that someone has finally done it right. The unfortunate truth is that this place needs to be on the show called "Restaurant Impossible". I'm not kidding when I say this, go and see for yourself. I have no animosity for this place, it was just very disappointing to see a group of guys / young boys (owners/Investors) standing around in their poor choice of wanna be club shirts that they probably got on sale at Marshall's, along with their poor hair grooming and unprofessional demeanor. It was as if they felt that their machine was up and running and that no improvements or the customer experience was even a possibility of a real issue. The bartender had a frown on his face the entire time, and our waitresses were as friendly as can be but really need to be informed and educated on their brews. I do not put this responsibility on the girls as much as I do the poor management. Now, with my ranting aside, my reasons for disappointment were as follows: We ordered the Brewer's Choice Plate which consisted of Mortadella, Prosciutto, and Tuscan Salami, along with a choice of cheeses and a bunch of fillers that they included. The plate came out and was presented well, but right away the cuts of meat were a disappointment. The thickness of the cuts was ridiculous and embarrassing. The Mortadella was almost room temperature, which can actually be a health hazard. Prosciutto was some sort of cheap salt cured, and hopefully pre-sliced. If they sliced it in house their chef should be fired for slicing such a thick cut of prosciutto. Even a non-chef knows that much. The salami was certainly nothing special, and again the Mortadella was the biggest disappointment. With this as my first impression of the food, I was very turned off and don't see them lasting very long if they don't fix such simple but important things. I suggest that they visit 'The Parlor' and take a look at the quality of the Artisan meats that they serve on their carving board, along with the thickness and temp of the meats. There is no comparison, and this is a no brainer for even a Foodie, much less a chef or a business that was swarming with inexperienced management at the time. So the next item was the Meat and Potato Flatbread with Pork Belly and three cheeses. I will say that it was mediocre, but missing some element of flavor to make it complete. The chips and guacamole were simple, but no complaints there. I enjoyed the Yucca Chips. I am not trying to be an extreme hater, but this place has a ton of hype out there and they aren't delivering quality products or service. They need to turn it up and light a fire under the asses of these young guys that are looking at a high profit margin by sacrificing quality food. They will need to offer much higher quality products if they want to stay afloat. i wish them the best and would love to try them again if I hear that they got everything straightened out. This would be an ideal location and they have a great concept. Cheers and good luck guys! Constructive criticisms are all I am offering and wish you the best. :)

Enjoyed the extensive beer list. With hot summer days just around the corner...and this place just around MY corner...the thought of summer just became a tad bit more tolerable!

Great patio. Food was nice- nothing special. Will definitely be back for more patio time.
(4)Brian D.
Really liked this place and will be back again soon for sure. Complimentary valet, solid service from the hipster leaning staff and the food and beer was great. Try the Barrio IPA. One of the best IPAs I've had yet. Good sandwiches (pulled pork with the honey jalapeño slaw was unreal) and enjoyed the charcuterie board.
(4)Angela J.
So I didn't try the beer BUT the bloody mary's are amazing. A-ma-zing. I also ordered the pork arepa. Super flavorful and the perfect amount if you're beyond starving, which I was. My friend ordered the green chili pulled pork sandwich which was equally as good. I will definitely be back. If anyone has had a bad experience here, it must've been a fluke...
(4)Tina S.
After I left my first review owner sent me a message thanking us for our patronage. How sweet. ;)
(5)Jill S.
the reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the staff and the weekend brunch menu rocks! Staff is super nice and extremely helpful, great beer. The food is not very good, I have tried several items on the menu and nothing very tastey. The weekend brunch menu on the other hand is amazing!! Go on the weekend and sit outside and you will keep going back like I do.
(4)Nick M.
Awesome job rejuvenating this bar from the dark dive bar it was. They have a great selection of brews from all over AZ, the US, and the globe as well as a very decent wine list. Thus far I've tried the pork tacos and the grilled cheese, both of which were delicious. Service was a little on the slow side as our server was clearly over-loaded.
(4)john C.
I was not happy with the bad service and then asked what beer might match my favorite beer and i got a very wrong choice by the staff, then asked to try another beer for $1, wow that's wrong. Then my friend ordered a simple Sam Adams and it was either bad beer or tapped to a wrong keg (either way still tasted bad). Not a good showing and wished it could have been better. I will try back in 6 months and see if they have oiled the process out to be better. A word of advice, if you have 40 some taps of beer your staff better know them, go look at yard house....
(2)Johl J.
Large beer selection and a great food. There is also a big patio out back to enjoy the milder months.
(5)Jason C.
It was a great meal. Love the beers. Think this place has a few kinks to work out on their menu. But welcome to the Arcadia hood we look forward to you succeeding!
(5)Mike C.
We went to O.H.S.O. for a company get together. I had a couple of different beers - they were very strong in flavor but I actually prefer MGD on tap over all of these expensive beers. I also had The Jensen - sort of a Margarita. I liked it a lot - it was different than most Margaritas. I had The Brisket - wow! Excellent flavor and a great value. Their fries taste like they are cooked in beef fat - they are so good I couldn't stop eating mine and any that were left over by anyone else. Mmmmmm.
(4)Danielle S.
I recently tried OHSO. Nice layout and design... modern and casual. Their menu features cheese and charcuterie plates, flatbreads, burgers, and other comfort-style dishes. I had the grilled cheese with a cup of tomato soup. The tomato soup reminded me of pepperoni pizza, which was strange at first but actually pretty good. It was the perfect order for a chilly, rainy day. The 48th Street Fizz (orange vodka, pineapple, lemon, st. germaine, and beer) was sweet, but tasty (love cocktails with carbonation). They have an extensive list of local and regional beers. Overall, it's a nice little neighborhood spot.
(4)Cory S.
Great beer selection for all people! Love all the microbrews on tap. Good food too!
(5)Zachary M.
Brisket sandwich to die for! Excellent beer selection! Id dine here again definitely
(4)Jerry S.
I have eaten at OSHO since it first opened. My girlfriend and her adorable children love the food and my gf the beer. I am not much of drinker but do like to partake in the sweet nectar of an occasional malty beer. My review is not really based on the libations but more so on the food. The food really varies in terms of its quality on a continuous basis. The menu really never has changed and especially the side dishes. I am waiting for the day when the sides change from the current five or six choice. I am a vegan and I always get the vegan burger. I wish there were more choices for vegans but as like most eateries in this meat loving town there are not. If I was a beer lover I would give OSHO five stars but I am not so I can only rate the food. After being open more than a year I would love to see the food upgraded, be more consistent and vary with new menu choices.
(3)Luella R.
I really like this place. Went on a hot Saturday afternoon just looking for drinks and a bite. We sat on the patio, had excellent service, and pretty good food! I had a veggie burger and hubby had the gnocchi, both were very good! Highly recommend!!!
(4)Daniel K.
Burger is bloody good. $6 Happy Hour Pitchers too! Been half-jokingly trying to get my friends to eat here but they kept passing because of the overflowing parking lot and the name. BUT AT LAST I HAVE ARRIVED BBQ Burger - Perfectly medium rare with lots of juice. 2 fat slabs of bacon and veggies on a great bun. You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients here - Yes please. I wanted to get a glass of grapefruit Hefeweizen but found out during Happy Hour a pitcher is just $1 more. (Who could pass that up @_@) One of the best burgers in the Camelback area and definitely a notch above the ones at the Attic.
(5)Roger L.
A very chill environment and brewery with a wonderful biking theme....LOVE IT! OHSO has a wonderful and unique selection of local beers, half of which are their own brew and a selection from other locals and national brews too. We came during brunch and enjoyed a very delicious and spicy Bloody Mary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the beef jerky stick it came with. Also something to keep in mind if you don't eat beef or are vegetarian as the waitress didn't mention this. The seating is quite comfortable and the outdoor patio is dog friendly. For the food, we got the brunch special for &10 with came with a plate and a beer/mimosa. Both the vegetarian flatbread and French toast were quite good and large for the price. For the beers, we tried the white chocolate ale and the mr pineapple. Both local favorites and on a bit of the sweeter side if that's your thing. Will definitely have to come back next time we are back in Phoenix!
(5)Bodhi B.
Come here if you're from out of town... This is one of my favorite places to ride my bike to brunch (it's on the canal from the Water Front in Old Town incase you didn't know) Anyway, the beer section is fantastic try the local made OHSO beers. Two things I dislike: the appetizers and valet parking
(5)Michelle P.
Yum! And they support local a animal shelters... A draw to my hear always. Food and staff... Really amazing. Low key... Happy people and really good food. Tacos ... Amazing ... Cocktails.... Oh yes... Really great atmosphere with amazing people and super food. A Ten!
(4)Troy B.
Check Please Arizona brought us here and boy are we glad it did. The pretzel board is a fantastic appetizer, the gobbler turkey burger with pear salsa was a great combination, and last but not least is the Carmel Apple pie--do not miss it! Great service; loved this place. Will definitely recommend to others and come back. P.S. the Piehole Porter was great!
(5)Kim S.
Great beer and atmosphere! Love that you can bring dogs and they have the home made biscuits for them. Food is great and they have good veggie options, fries are delish! I hope they jump on the bandwagon and open one in downtown Gilbert! We could use something out here like it, plus I'd love to go more!
(5)Wayne B.
I drive by this place all of the time and always see a boatload (picture a ferry in the Pacific Northwest) of vehicles. A perception that invokes positive vibes, and it's a NanoBrewery (whatever that means), so I figure I gotta go one of these days. Yesterday was the day, as I was alerted to the fact that it was National Beer Day (thanks to Cheryl B)...Are you kidding me! ...so, with less than 5 hours left in this gloriously ridiculous reason to drink copious amounts of beer, guilt free, and being that O.H.S.O. was close to my hood, the choice was easy! Luck would have it that the Valet Parking (free) had just wrapped up and I was directed around back (I don't like others driving my rig). I quickly parked and found the place inside fairly quiet, and the bar up front was mostly filled with what appeared to be regulars, which would be pretty cool, if I was a regular, but I felt invisable...Deduct 1 Star. I decided to wonder around and get myself into some trouble in order to be noticed, but I accidently stumbled onto the back patio, and THIS is where the cool people were hanging out, because it was still 100* outside, but totally chill (so much for finding trouble). On the way to the back yard I passed the small brewery where all the magic takes place, and I say small because THIS is where the Nano evidently comes from...sweet! I found a spot at the bar quickly enough, and the patrons at least looked at me, not that I was in need of attention, but at least I didn't feel invisable, but then it also seemed that all were not as drunk and were actually having conversation, which is always fun to listen in and pretend not too by scanning the smart phone....anyway ~ All the many varieties of brewskies were not available on tap in the back, but the lovely bar host was more then willing to venture the several dozen paces to bring what my palette yurned for...but how do I choose? I shot in dark and ordered an Orange Blossum, which was from the keg right in front of me, and selected the Pilgrim (I like turkey and cranberry, and the sprouts were a bonus). It was tasty and well complimented with a side of sweet potatoe fries. I throughly enjoyed the lovely, and attentive bar host (ya gotta ask for water, if ya want it, tho) who actually asked how I liked the beer, as if to say, "I'll get you something else, if you don't like it". It was okay...a bit too fruity. I find out later that samples can be had for $1 a 3oz. shot. As I was contemplating another, but pondering WTF do I order, again, Nick W. comes up behind me and tells me about a beer that he actually brews here and handed me a coozie for his Hops & Dreams...SCORE!!! Others he recommended where the Stella's Groove, Blood Sweat and Beers, and Day Dream. Since I was holding his coozie, I had to try this hoppie ale of his....smooth! This was a great time, and I recommend the patio, definently! It's dog friendly and lots of booths and places to stretch out, or belly up to the bar where it becomes more cozy, where you just might score a coozie! They are open late with a Kitchen that serves up a nice variety of burgers, sandwiches, and snacks until midnight.
(4)Dee C.
Not so much too loud food is fried menu not that great for people who enjoy a healthy diet like me I'm not impressed better places to go also the mandatory valet parking is a bit too much Try if you want I just think there is better places out there
(2)Mia N.
Dog lovers, this is your place! The back patio is a doggie heaven, with hooks to tie up your pooch at each table, water bowls, free treats, and lots of doggie friends for your dog to bark at and annoyingly try to play with as you try to eat your meal in peace :P I really love the brunch here! They have quite a variety of brunch dishes, like biscuits and gravy, waffle + bacon, brat sausage breakfast, veggie omelette flatbread, and more! And all their brunch specials are only $10, which includes a beer/mimosa. That's a pretty fantastic deal. I ordered the waffle and bacon, which I thought was really delicious. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it hit the spot. This might become my new favorite brunch place.
(4)Lauren J.
Great brewery with great food! The handlebar hefe is delicious! I also like that you can bring your dog and play board games here- very fun and casual place to hang out with friends while drinking good beer and eating delicious food. What's better than that?!
(5)O'Zandra F.
OHSO is very conveniently located. It's always insanely busy. Few parking spaces, so be prepared to valet. This is one of a few places that allow dogs...of all kinds! Great staff...young and personable! Best brunch deal in town! $10 for brunch AND a mimosa! We started with ceviche, with was hearty and delicious! I had the carnias bowl and papa had the lox. Both dishes were very pleasing to our palates. Definitely a great place to meet friends and hangout. Super deals on drinks and food!

3.5 stars As a child I hated hamburgers, but I think it was because the ones my Mom made were severely dry (I'm talking must chew for hours and wash down with large quantities of water) on wonder buns. I have been known to hide these suckers everywhere just to get out of eating them. I am pretty sure she still finds fossilized burgers in all parts of the house. I was then introduced to a real burger in Los Angeles. Everywhere you turn you can find an amazing burger. One you crave. Stout, Father's Office, Umami, the Counter etc etc etc Unfortunately after having these burgers a plain ole mediocre burger just doesn't live up. That was OHSO's burger. It was okay, but I don't have dirty dreams about it. While the burger was subpar the atmosphere made up for it. Casual and comfortable place to come enjoy some drinks, but probably pass on the food. Although next time I will try something different. Highly recommend sitting on the patio and enjoying a cold one with some friends. This is on the bike path which is always a bonus since I can ride my bike, have some drinks and then try to ride bike home. Unfortunately we didn't have any beer (which they have a great selection of microbrews) but they did have a Happy Hour going on. The server said all AZ pitchers of beer and glasses of wine were $6. Mon-Fri 11am-6pm The kids meal was just Kraft Mac and Cheese. This is a pet peeve of mine as I prefer if they are going to have Mac and cheese at least make it instead of have it from a box. My daughter of course ate it right up since she never gets that stuff at home. I know I am the worst mom ever. Who deprives their child of Kraft Mac and Cheese? *My Mom's not a bad cook, just her burgers are horrendous.
(3)Quynh N.
4 star for beer selection. 2 star for food selection. Average 3 star. Don't come here if you're hungry. Might as well eat at McDonald's (yuck), then come here for a beer or two. Or vice versa. Seriously. I can't stand the food here. It's the reason OHSO is no longer on my list of places to be. Oh that and parking is even worse than the food. The worst! The more I write, the less stars I should give them.
(3)Ashlie H.
Well this place is fun!!! If your a beer lover this place is a MUST! I am hoping my bff signs up to brew his beer here and he releases it for his bday! So much fun for a beer lover like him. If you are interested in brewing your own beer here, give them a call! Its pretty sweet!! The staff here is very lively, attentive and nice! Nothing like hanging out with friends and crackin jokes with your bartender, or wait staff. On top of all these things they also have great food. We came for their morning special, which is a beer or mimosa along with a few specific dishes for only $10. Can beat that!!! Try their breakfast flat bread, it is delicious! Its been super nice outsdie too, so I recommend going out back and sitting out on the patio! Plenty of shade, fans and misters to keep you cool! Cant wait to go back!!
(5)Andrea S.
This is such a hip place. Mainly because they're dog friendly and serve really delicious beer and food. There's isn't really much else needed, but they've also got a great patio, bar and dining room. Parking kind of sucks, but I guess no one is perfect. One star off because they had a couple of beers listed on the menu that they were waiting to tap, which was pretty irritating, since most of the people at our table wanted them. They make dog biscuits for you to take for free!
(4)John T.
I've been frequenting here more frequently than I care to admit for about three years. Their pitchers (smaller than many pitchers, at a little over two pints), their extensive beer list, and their killer patio view of Camelback Mountain make them the best spot I know of in the Valley to kick back and drink a good craft brew. The $10 beer/mimosa-and-brunch special on Saturdays and Sundays is unbeatable too. Only downsides: hard to get a seat sometimes, especially during the brunch rush. Food is hit-or-miss with so-so value; the Arizona Burger is definitely my go-to order. Their beer list changes constantly and, though I like probably two-thirds of what I order, sometimes I'll get tripped up on a funky-flavored brew (I'd steer clear of most of the ones with "chocolate" or "espresso" in the name, but maybe that's just me). But I'll gladly take that sort of variation in quality in exchange for such a wide selection, great beer prices, and all-around original concept. Keep up the good work, OHSO!
(4)Brandy G.
Yum yum yum!! One of our fav places to hang out and eat. A must try if you haven't been here! Great weekend brunch too!
(5)Zara P.
Great patio with misters and fans, dog friendly and rightoin the canal. The beers were cold and delicious, we hung out all afternoon. They also served full pitchers of beer for $1 more than a pint so we went with those :)
(4)Marie K.
This is one of my favorite weekend places! Despite the wait, once you sit, it is always enjoyable. They usually have a nice crowd in the back patio, with a handful of furry happily wagging pups. If you're not into the dog-friendly environment, the front patio or inside seating is really nice as well. The wait staff is wonderfully attentive, and ive never had a bad experience the many times i have been here. There are great menu options and a good assortment of local beers..they have an orange blossom beer that i really like. My favorite things on the menu are the cobb salad, and the Salmon blt. Parking is a bit of a nuisance, but they have complementary valet that helps the issue. This location. Is extremely convenient, and its right off of the canal path. One of my favorite weekend events is to bike over with our pup. Its great exercise and you get to enjoy a beer at the end of it!
(5)Jenny L.
09.01.14 Final meal pre-departure of the bachelorette party. FABULOUS time at OHSO. We each did a beer brunch ($10 for an entree and a beer), and I selected the veggie flatbread and an amber ale. Super fun atmosphere, cute cycle decor, just great feelings all around. Prices are hard to beat! yelp.com/biz_photos/o-h-…

Driving to O.H.S.O. Eatery + nanoBrewery, the surrounding community does not appear pleasant at first sight when comparing to Old Town Scottsdale. Parking for the location is limited. I parked my car on a residential street directly across from the restaurant (warning: jaywalking six road lanes or walking around to the stoplight is included in the task of parking in the residential area). Outside the restaurant absolutely does not live up to the expectations once stepping inside. Walking through the door immediately changed the mood. I walked in wearing my white sundress with a smile on my face. O.H.S.O.'s bright environment is prefect for the Arizona sun. The restaurant is quite large (it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to save some space for parking). The back patio is gorgeous; it was no surprise to see 90% of happy customers in the back. And yes, it's a dog friendly place with dog treats too (noted if/when I have a dog). O.H.S.O. serves brunch, lunch, dinner as well as a few desserts with assorted drinks including wine, cocktails, whiskey, tequila, vodka, and of course, beer. For my first experience, I enjoyed brunch with my date. $10 for one brunch meal and 10oz beer or mimosa is a pretty sweet deal, in my opinion. I completely finished my Carnitas Bowl and mimosa; obviously, it was too delicious for me to leave leftovers. Also, I must add that one mimosa is plentiful poured in a wine glass, versus in a skinny, tall champagne glass. O.H.S.O. made my list of places worth coming back to for another good time.
(5)Athena M.
Food is always amazing, they don't skimp on their mimosa pours. Very friendly staff and is one of the only dog friendly bars in the valley. I come here at least once a month and have never been dissatisfied. They even sent us a $25 gift card for posting a picture of us and our dog on their Facebook page. Super cute bar idea and tons of good beer options.
(5)Rae Jo K.
What a fun little pub!! I love the hipster decor and the bar is nothing short of fantastic. Lots of rebar and old wood. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Phoenix (bring the hubby who is a former professional brewer). BEER: I had a couple of their brews and they were tasty and easy to drink. Not the best beer I ever had, but definitely worth checking out. FOOD: Very good for pub grub! They have a smaller menu, but there's enough to appeal to garbage guts and health-conscious individuals alike.
(4)Brit T.
In Phoenix visiting my brother, I looked up breweries in the area since I always try and drink local beer (I am from San Diego, best beer in the world) I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. I really didn't enjoy the beers that were brewed in the building. I had tried tasters of everything, I mean everything!! But, it seems their list is always changing. I absolutely did love the patio they had. So so cool. Very dog friendly. Great food. Excellent service. And loved the beers that were not brewed in the house brewery! (Mr. Pineapple, peach ale) Make sure you grab the free home-made dog treats on the way out! I will definitely come back and try some new beers!
(4)David S.
This place has good food, and a great selection of beers. They even had a Hefeweizen on tap that was brewed in-house! Do you have any idea how rare that is in this day of hipsters and IPA's?! Rare. The big thing to know about this place is that it is more than dog-friendly. It is actually dog-occupied. Like, if you go here, you will see some dogs. Obviously this is a good thing, and there were some pretty good dogs when I went. There was one dog that was a bulldog and he was really round and stout like somebody put legs on a giant meatloaf. There was also a skinny dog that was wide-eyed and crazy looking. I give each of those dogs a rating of 4-stars as well. If you have a fine dog, I suggest you bring it with you, and I think they even had complimentary dog treats.
(4)Patty O.
I heard rave reviews about this place from all over, so I decided to check it out. They win all the awards at the ASH events for having supposedly the best bar and restaurant in the valley. Well... no. No way. I went in with a friend and they had around 15ish taps I believe. We didn't even get our 10th choice of beer. They were out of everything. I believe I had a choice between a porter and an insanely sweet 1.X% alcohol beer. I've never had a good porter out of 100+ tastes of them so I went with the fruit beer. It sucked, as expected. Sweet as candy. The food was a step below mediocre. Soggy fries, soggy sandwich that was pouring grease. When I picked it up it tore in half. Like if you left bread in water for a few minutes. This place blows. ASH is ridiculous for giving them any awards. No beer and bad food. How does that make it the best beer bar? I've never heard so many customer complaints from other tables before. Did I mention it's a bar with no beer?
(1)GT W.
OHSO is one of those places that I wish was more prevalent in big beer cities- completely dedicated to local tap only beer with a great, relaxed ambiance and good food to boot. Really fun atmosphere which I will assume was a commandeered out of business Joe's Crab Shack complete with massive sports bar patio and circular wood bar. Interior has a full restaurant seating, and an exposed-to-the-elements active nanobrewery. Service was quick, knowledgeable, friendly. Beer selection was large with a focus on local breweries. Half the tap list was Arizona beers, which was incredible. High-quality offerings overall. My only disappointment was that their own beers made in house were not so great. They allow amateurs to brew on their system and make god knows what. But then, they sell the beer to the public. That is a bold move in my opinion as you are 99% guaranteed the beer will be awful. Didn't eat here, but menu looked nice.
(4)Cindy L.
Ordered The Gobbler with sweet potato fries. The burger is on the sweeter side with the pear compote. In addition to the bacon and the tomato, it was a sweet, savory, and salty experience. I really love sweet potato fries (they make them perfectly here) but suggest pairing the burger with another side. It turned out to be an overly sweet combination for me.
(5)Stephanie K.
OHSO is one of my favorite places in Phoenix and it has become a well known establishment among breweries and bars in the city. I have been here more times than I can count but each visit was memorable. There are 2 locations now but I still prefer the original one in Arcadia. The atmosphere is wonderful! OHSO is super dog friendly so there are always a ton of pups hanging out on the back patio. The back patio is amazing but it is always packed on the weekends so I usually end up on the front patio which is a little quieter. OHSO is brewery so obviously the beer selection is out of this world! The best part is that they have an ever changing selection of their own beers. I'm a big beer fan and I love trying new beers. If you can't decide what beer to have, you can try as many as you would like for $1 each. It's like your own personal beer tasting which is great fun! The food at OHSO is great but not fantastic. Some of my favorites are the crab dip, hummus, flat breads and the veggie burger is one of my favorites. Brunch is a great deal at OHSO. For $10, you get a full brunch entree and a large beer or mimosa. Such a great deal with delicious food and local beer! If you are really into craft beer- check out OHSO for their brew your own beer. Every Saturday morning they hold a brewing tutorial and you can make your own beer that will be tapped at OHSO a few weeks later. This is how OHSO keeps their revolving taps of interesting beers. Check it out if you haven't been or just go more if you have and hopefully I'll see you there!

We came tonight for my son in law's graduation party. The service was outstanding even considering the size of the group; the waitress kept our names and tabs straight. Delicious beers and the cocktail I had - The Camelback - was a terrific old fashioned. Had a brisket sandwich which although fantastic too big to finish. It was a great time and the patio was perfect!
(5)Emelia W.
Went here with my mum and a friend for brunch since its pet friendly and our friend has 2 mini huskies. We got some hummus and waffles and eggs, bacon, and toast and the diced potatoes and toast are just ok but the waffles were AMAZING. The servers are nice and attentive, and I think it's cool that each table has some biscuits for pets. I think the only thing I particularly didn't like was the music above us blasting out a song with the f bomb as we started sitting down. I mean don't get me wrong I curse but it's not exactly what I want to hear eating breakfast.
(4)Shelby C.
SUCKS WORST SERVICE IN TOWN!! Don't come here. They are terrible servers and bartenders. Your JOB is to serve people NOT to gaggle.

The beer was great but their customer service was not. I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 1...not that busy as I sat at the bar. The first server that approached me was helpful and engaging. She left and no one seem to take over that side of the bar. The server only engaged other folks. Sat there fairly long time to order, had to ask for water twice....not sure if I would go back, not a fan of being treated that way. Still gave a good tip for the beer and food folks...but I wish I could put that on the tip. Maybe one should get there beer to go...

One of the best burgers I've ever had. The staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating to my dog. Have heard a lot of good things about this place and glad it lived up to the hype. Will be back soon

Great place to grab a craft beer and a bite to eat. They always have a great selection of their own beers, supplemented with local and national craft brews. My current favorite is the Betty IPA by Hanger 24 brewery. My wife prefers the nitro milk stout from Left Hand brewery. On the food side of things, I'm a big fan of the brisket Mac and the burgers. My wife swears by the blackened salmon. We're here once a week to satisfy her need for it. The brunch on the weekends is also worth checking out. This is a popular local hangout. It is almost alwAys busy, but everyone is very friendly. Check out the dog friendly back patio. It has an outdoor bar and tV's. It can be loud, so come ready to enjoy the crowd.

OHSO is the shit, I love this place. Great Moscow mules, killer vibes, and amazing veggie burger. Bring your dog, your friends, or your dog's friends to the back patio for an awesome time.

Delicious burgers and great service. We went later in the evening past the dinner rush but the ambiance was still great! Had some wine and beer with our burgers and have no ragrets. Not even a single letter. We will definitely be returning.

I guess I'm a little confused on the beer drinking at this place. The beers are excellent, however you can only have a tasting menu of the six beers they have on tap. The only beer you can have a pint of are three beers that are not on the tasting menu. The beers on the tasting menu are excellent, however they don't want you to get drunk on you just drinking beer so you're not able to purchase more then the tasting menu size of the beer. As far as the food, the calamari is over breaded, but the tuna is nicely cooked. The burger that they are known for is a nice burger, however there were no jalapenos on ours, and enough cream cheese to fill 18 bagels. Mediocre food, mediocre bar, mediocre beer. Should have gone somewhere else.

Bring a big appetite but only a bit of money! Great food and drinks at nice low prices.

This seemed to have a good reputation, from the people I've talked with, for food, but sadly, it appears expectations were set a little high. I ordered the waffles, as I had a craving the previous night, and had a mimosa with the meal (it was brunch on a Sunday at 10 am). The mimosas arrived (I was there with two others), and lacked any sort of flavor. The alcoholic content seemed rather low and the orange juice was decidedly bland (agreed by all). Then the food arrived, the other two had order breakfast burritos which looked like burritos - always a good thing. The waffles on the other hand, were distinctly cold and dry, as if they had been cooked first, or at the very least cooked an hour before we arrived. Upon further examination, they were more dry than expected, even pouring on the COLD syrup (which tasted like the cheap "syrup") couldn't take away the dryness. The waiter could be bothered to ask how things were until after other two had finished their meals (he had walked by three times during the meal). I had left three quarters of the plate and yet there wasn't a single question as to why I didn't finish it. Won't be returning for brunch or breakfast again, maybe for dinner as I hear the apple pie is good.

Loved this eatery!!!! We had great service from Jacob. There is a large tap beer selection, along with other drinks. There is complimentary valet. My husband had the Sunday BBQ special. He was served bbq chicken, shredded pork, ribs with cornbread and potato salad. You can have as many more servings of anything that came on the BBQ plate for the low price of $15. The blackened salmon was delicious! We will be returning simply because there was so much on the menu we wanted to try!
(5)Gee L.
Industrial style, yet upscale brewery. With trendy food. That let's your doggy come. No light beers for lightweights. We tried the Rita pizza and a taco plate. Both were fine but I couldn't get by the prices. I realize I am in a trendy Arcadia place where my doggy gets free biscuits. The Scottsdale Blonde brew was great, we finished off a pitcher. I didn't care for the pizza, it was a spray of pesto and some cheeses over a so-so flat bread. the bartended seemed disinterested in us. Worst part is the dang valet. This place is the Arcadia version of Postino/Vig. You get the good and the bad with some menu gems. Bring your wallet and a full bank account.

I finally got to try this place today. One of my friends met me for lunch and the place was packed and NOISY. We were debating going elsewhere but decided to stay and tough it out . The noise level was uncomfortable but that may have been due to the rain's impact on OHSO's outdoor dining spaces. It was also helped once the table of obnoxious drunk women finished their meal. I'm willing to try it again in warmer weather The food was good. We each had recommended dishes. Brunch is very reasonably priced, with a cocktail included with the entree. The menu is interesting, with side items available to add variety. The service is good., the seating is comfortable, and the staff is pleasant. It's clear they enjoy their jobs and understand the importance of customer service. I will definitely try OHSO again. If the noise level is better, it will become part of the regular rotation :)

You can hardly ever go wrong with coming to O.H.S.O. I don't know why I think of the song by 2 live Crew {me so horny} every time I think of the name. However, the service and food was good. We got the tacos.. and the the limes were extra dry, I mean.... I am definitely not picky at all but I feel if you order tacos.. you should be able to add all of the flavors that you want. Needless to say we asked for fresh limes, which probably had the waitress talking about us in the back, but it made the tacos taste that much better. The drinks were on point!! And the service was pretty good. Our waitress was gone for a certain point in time, but when we got a hold of her she made sure to come by at a more frequent rate. This would be my second time at this restaurant/nanoBrewery and I love the environment. Definitely good for groups and to let off some unwanted stress. Everyone for the most part is very friendly.
(4)SK B.
Great atmosphere. Dog friendly patio. A lot of local beer to choose from. Great friendly staff. Grilled cheese with prosciutto was amazing!
(5)John K.
Beer is good, food is very good. For some reason they have picked locations with really bad parking options. Outside of that I can't find a reason not to recommend this place. I'm not a dog lover but being able to bring your dog to a bar is cool concept. There happy hour is good with $3 small aps and $6 pitchers.
(4)Julie P.
Love this place and I don't even drink beer. The food menu has everything from bar food to light and healthy salads. Great music and atmosphere. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Dog friendly on the back patio. They even bake natural dog biscuits daily that they give away for your best friend. Great wine and drink menu as well!
(5)Vanessa G.
Everytime I go here with my friends we have the same debate. Which is your favorite Arizona bewery.. for me its OHSO. Hands down. OHSO has that cool atmosphere, without the huge crowd, GREAT food.. and my favorite Arizona beer. They also have awesome cocktails, and a great weekend brunch special. But best part of it is customer service. I work with a lot of big groups and OHSO is our favorite place to go, they have a room that is for free to accommodate groups of 20+ if you need that privacy.
(5)John D.
I am in love with this place. Today was my first time and we need one in Tucson immediately! The parking lot was packed and just as I was about to get irritated I noticed there is complimentary valet service. Que fancy! The inside is super casual and clean and the staff was awesome! We didn't get to sit outside in the crazy cool and dog friendly patio. I saw a dog sitting on the a table outside! I ordered from the $10 brunch menu. Food plus 10oz beer or mimosa. I had the breakfast wrap, the wife had the breakfast flat bread. I recommend both. My girls had chicken tenders which were actual chicken with a tasty fried covering. They loved their food too. If you have kids, a dog, and hankering for good food you owe it to yourself to come here.
(5)Cara G.
We stopped in OHSO one Friday evening during happy hour! The small bites were perfect compliments to our happy hour drinks of choice! Our entrees were delicious and the service was remarkable! We will definitely return!
(5)Teri W.
I would really like to give them 4 stars.... Plus: - They offer free valet parking, which was both fast and convenient - The patio in back is dog friendly and has it's own bar (this is a large area) - They offer free, homemade dog treats for your furry friends on the patio - They have large booths and high top tables on the patio, with umbrellas for shade (and rain, which is why we ended up using it) - The entire patio is lined with the coolest fans (no pun intended) - they were bicycles and the wheels were fans. Really awesome! Minus: - The service was SLOW. It probably took at least 15 minutes before anyone approached our table - The inside is small (ish). There was at least a 45 minute wait because a large party had moved in from outside and took over the bar area - They were out of 90% of the beers I wanted to order. I understand, it happens. But after 4 different times of ordering and being told (after our server went to actually retrieve my order) that they were out, it was frustrating Overall, it's a cool spot and I would go back. I would just hope that they find a way to be more on top of their brewing, because it's really disappointing to go somewhere new and not be able to try the beers that are supposedly available (they hadn't just run out either). Update the menus or make sure your servers know what's available. It was such a process to order anything because he would go off to put in the order, then come back 10-15 minutes later to say it was out. This happened 4 times. We didn't eat, but the menu looked good. I would love to go back for their "backyard BBQ" on Sundays. And the next time I am in town, I am definitely bringing my dog - there should be more places like this in Vegas! Maybe I just caught them on a bad night.

Today's visit to OHSO was excellent. The food was amazing and so flavorful. If you wanna go carb free try the Surf+Turf shrimp and carne Adams covered in pico over asparagus the carne was well Cooked juicy and was not fatty at all. The back yard BBQ is delicious and comes with all the goodies on the side.
(4)Jeff E.
OHSO is oh so awesome. Like The Dude's rug, OHSO really ties the entire Arcadia Corridor together. Hopefully Nihilists do not take over this joint... ~Fud/Drink~ Everything here is tasty, from the craft brews they have on tap fresh to the meals they have available. I for one can't think of a more relaxing time in Arcadia than when I sit down here to eat and drink. The variety of beers and drink are superb and the mixed drinks are not over-priced. I have not chosen to try their in-house brews, but I have heard from a few people they are not other-worldly. That is fine, because the variety is there. Food items are tasty and never leave me wondering "well I wish I went to...". Happy hour food items are also outstanding and well-priced. Honestly, you get a great rate of return here for what you pay for, no matter the menu item. As you will see in a second, the atmosphere is perfect for the area. ~Atmosphere/Service~ The theory of a great atmosphere and experience is perfected here by way of the best patio experience in Arcadia. Outside near the canal, you have a bevy of booths to sit at and enjoy your company. The décor outside is fun, with barrels and numerous dog items all around. Oh yes, dogs. I am not a huge dog person, but if I were, I'd love to run the canal with my perro and then hop into here for a quick beer. The patio is so inviting and allows you to bring the dog, with a dog wash area and biscuits waiting for them. A very relaxed and cool atmosphere, the patio really is the perfect spot for numerous occasions. Inside is equally enjoyable with tons of wide open space for a couple, or 10 buds looking to hang. Service is spot on and quite attentive. I never have had a single issue when coming out to OHSO, they really do a good job of providing top notch quality service. ~The Downlow/Extras~ One extra for you: My favorite time to come here is on Sundays for their $10 Beer n' Brunch. For the $10 you get a great craft beer, and a super yummy, well-proportioned breakfast. Other than that, this is the best trendy spot in Arcadia for a craft beer or three. 5 stars goes out to them for Well-balanced menus, great variety amongst beer options, solid price points, and a beautiful layout to go with a great atmosphere. Come and enjoy OHSO, it will be your favorite beer spot on this side of town, I guarantee it ;-)

Best bar on tap in the area! There are so many different beers, brewed here and elsewhere that are delicious. Combine that with a bomb happy hour, and this is a great place. It might be my favorite happy hour around around! Just think about it, come here after work any weekday and enjoy some beers with pretzels and cheese. That will make any headache from the workweek go away! I still haven't tried this place for dinner but I need to. As for the other food, it is good but nothing special. Try an Orange blossom, you won't regret it. Also, yes yes, dogs are welcome here and they're pet friendly. The outside patio in the back is the place to set, if the weather permits!
(4)Connie L.
First time visitor for brunch. I'm a fan. Sat outside near the front. Perfect day out. Got the Belgian waffles with agave syrup and two slices of bacon and mimosa for $10. Waffles were good. The compote was a delicious spread. Fruit tasted fresh. Bacon was very thin sliced. Very standard. Also tried the carnitas bowl, which was flavorful. Everyone else around me who had the burrito, or lox seemed to enjoy themselves, as well. Staff guy was great. Got our names to easily split the bill at the end of the meal. Very courteous. Not that much parking nearby because they offer "complementary " valet services. Some of my friends just parked at the CVS nearby and walked over.
(4)Zeke T.
Delicious food, just wish I had more to enjoy. Great beer choices, full bar, just sad to have spent 9.00$ on guacamole and 15$ on pork and I'm still hungry.
(4)Jaclyn B.
I'm a big fan so far. A bit hectic on a Friday night, we just stopped in for a drink and casual meal, so we opted not to wait for an hour - hour and a half for a table and just hit up the bar instead. The bar gets really crowded but the service was still attentive and friendly. The macadamia and vanilla beer was absolutely incredible. We also had the hummus appetizer which was average but good, and I had the veggie burger which was delicious. The parking was a little chaotic but I believe they had complimentary valet. We just parked in front of the dry cleaner next door which worked too. I've heard their brunch is great, so I will definitely be back, and I recommend you check it out.

They must call it OSHO because it's OHSO delicious and chill. That's what I'm assuming here. This location is right off of the canal, and a wonderful stop for anyone out riding a bike, walking a dog, or who loves a great patio. Behind the building, OHSO offers a back patio with a bike maintenance station, free dog treats for your furry friend, and a gorgeous view of Camelback Mountain. Their fun, laid-back vibe is perfect for an afternoon beer ($6 local pitchers at Happy Hour!) or a bike bar crawl with friends! The service at OHSO has always been prompt and friendly in my experience, and the waiters are very kind about moving an umbrella over to your table if it's a particularly hot/sunny day. I've tried several of the entrees and apps at OHSO, and honestly, I've loved them all! (Special shout out to the Shrimp Ceviche and the Turkey Melt... so good!) They have a program where you can come in and brew your own beer for $50, and then they give you $50 in gift certificates when you have a tapping party for your keg! How cool is that? Basically, it's no cost, except that you (and presumably all of your beer-drinking friends!) buy glasses of your beer at the end... of course, by then, you're spending the gift certificates they gave you! I hear that this books up months in advance, so it's the kind of thing you have to plan well ahead of time... but it sounds great! Long story short, go to OHSO for the ambiance, the view and the great beers. Bring your dog along and enjoy a chill afternoon with friends!
(5)Jessica B.
My favorite burger and beer restaurant. They have the best outdoor patio! You must try their AZ burger. It's so good!
(5)Ashley B.
I've visited this location as well as the north scottsdale one. My husband and I walked in and asked for a table for 7 and the "hostess" was rude, rolled her eyes and responded "wait here. I guess I have to put tables together for you". So sorry to be bringing business to your employer! Had a wonderful and patient waitress, sampled many beers as a table and I settled on the Orange Blossom. YUM! For dinner I had the carne asada tacos, amazing!! Others had the burger and cheese, az burger, salmon blt and surf n turf...no complaints except one of the burgers was pink when they asked for no pink. Oh, the fries are delicious! Only other con... The bathroom is disgusting!!! Yuck!
(4)Aubrey D.
I love this place! Not only are they dog friendly, but they have an amazing beer selection and the best Mac n cheese ever!!
(5)Dom P.
Solid but after hour menu sucks! Starts at 10 pm so get in before that if you want some food other than pretzels or burgers, also the place has a weird echo or something. It's really difficult to hear your server especially with the music.
(2)Brandon S.
Let's nip this shit in the bud right now. If you are one of those people that feel the need to bring your dog everywhere with you . . . because you either feel entitled to, or because you think everyone else must be a dog lover, then this place is for you. Here is what we need to get nailed down . . . the regulations as far as they pertain to dogs, restaurants and patios. The animal must remain on the ground and cannot be with 200 feet of where food is prepared or the door from which the food is served. What I don't need is a place that I've gone to enough times to know that dogs are not only allowed on the patio, but in the restaurant, on the seats and a lot of time on the tables. Where is the health department when you need them?
(1)Kelsey W.
Just wanted to shoutout Sam McD for being an AWESOME server with our large group this weekend!! He was helpful, accommodating, and made paying so easy (when it's usually a nightmare in big groups!). Thank you, thank you! OHSO is a neighborhood classic, you really can't go wrong. Fun patio with adorable doggies, bike racks for the "winter" (aka anytime that isn't 120 degrees), local friendly feel. You really can't beat the $10 brunch special - any food item from a selected variety... go with the breakfast wrap and ask for salsa and pico on the side ;)... and a beer or mimosa for just ten bucks! When I'm there for lunch or dinner, the fish tacos, tomato soup, and sweet potato fries are my go-to items. Keep it up OHSO!!
(5)Marie M.
So this place just became one that I will no longer bring new people to try. I have come on a couple occasions with my daughter with limited issues. I finally bring my husband and it has been a sh*t show since we pulled up to the place. Long wait (not a bad thing), followed by an outdated beer list, being charged for a kid soda, confusion on the seating (led to a 45 min wait instead of 30), followed by a flat beer, followed by slow service... you get it. Probably would have all been resolved with a quick manager visit but alas, one didn't appear to be available. I love the AZ Burger, the selection of beer is good (IF they have what is listed - that seems to be a basic struggle each time I visit) and the patio seating is fun (when available). Their brewed beers have improved since they first opened (a plus). I will certainly be back in a few months. Lots of new gastropubs/breweries opening up within the vacinity that we (kiddo and I) will try before circling back....
(3)Olivia G.
Great location and friendly service! I love taking my dog here. The food isn't the best but the beer and ambiance make up for it.
(4)Danielle G.
Came here to check out the dog friendly patio and the homemade dog treats. It's a really chill environment to get some beers, we decided to try out the pepper salad which was on the happy hour menu, it was extremely small portions for the cost of the dish. Yet, they have an awesome rotating beer list and great deals on pitchers. The fact that they have an assisting brewer course that you can sign up for is pretty cool, and the service there is great. I would love to come back and get some entree to test out more of the food. Also riding our bikes down there since it's near the canal route and they supply you with bike locks too!
(5)Jasdeep K.
A place I loved to frequent until yesterday. Suffering from acute food poisoning after eating their chicken wrap! They need to be more mindful of the freshness of the food they serve!!!
(1)Cass H.
Sweet neighborhood bar, way better when the weather is nice because there is a killer patio. Lots of outdoor space and dog friendly
(5)Marc L.
A fun local establishment that has a dog friendly patio. Busy weekend brunch makes for a vibrant environment. The beers are good and yes it is ok to have one for breakfast. The Grovey goes well the the French Toast.
(4)Leslie G.
Best dog friendly patio! Great little $3 happy hour noshes, $6 any wine, $5 brewskis- gotta dog? Check it out!
(4)Perry M.
Ohso is probably one of my favorite spots to go to over in the Arcadia area. Tons of beers, great food, a friendly atmosphere and you can bring your dog. What more could you ask for. I was recently there and had the shrimp tacos and a veggie burger. I can honestly say it was all delicious. I sat at the bar on the back patio I find myself sitting in the back patio area more then any other place here, I just find the back area more comfortable with open seating, and I can bring my puppy. I like to watch sports on the Tv's and people watch. It always interesting to see people interact with other people and there pets. I particularly like the Orange Blossom beer. I have to say it is one of the better brews they have on tap. I say I probably come here once a month at least.
(5)Jasmine H.
Another great find for my friend! Came here specifically because they are dog friendly!! It was pretty busy when we were there, just in time for brunch on a holiday weekend so it was to be expected. We didn't wait very long though maybe five minutes? I brought my pitbull (yes all the way from Vegas as I was visiting friends and no she's not vicious) who would probably rather have sat on one of the chairs then on the ground. They provided water dishes and some pretty awesome doggie biscuits that my pup loved and ate right up. Awesome extra service right there! So we came here for the beer brunch deal which I think is an awesome deal and more places need to adopt it! I got the veggie flatbread + beer combo, which I went through two other choices of beer before finally settling on an IPA, they ran out of the most awesome sounding ones that was a little disappointing but won't deter from anything though! I really enjoyed the flatbread which was had eggs, cheese, potatoes, kale, and pico de gallo which I think was a perfect brunch or even breakfast flatbread!! It all came together into this perfect combination, probably because of the potatoes and cheese really that made it savory! I loved my experience here and can't wait to come back and try some other foods on the menu!!
(4)Tzarina W.
I don't have a dog but I love the dog friendly restaurant. Dog foot prints are scattered from the front door to the back patio - where it seems like the party happens! Bicycles surround the back patio with fully functional fan wheels for the Az heat!! Amazing! A doggie bench of doggie water bowls are available for the guests, as well as the bagged doggie treat! A bar area in the center front of patio awaits patrons. Doggie pics surround booth seats. It was neat to see all the dogs getting along. Even a table of 4 each had a dog! Service: food literally took 30 to 45 minutes after ordering to get to the table. Pretty bad if you ask me especially if cooking a burger takes that long to prep and cook. Thumbs down. :/ Beer Brunch (without the beer): Smoked sockeye salmon on a bed of arugula with pita bread and capanota and a mimosa - A simple plate to put together...anyone can do this. A light affair if you ask me ;) For a weakling like me, I prefer a virgin mimosa. Haha. ;) OHSO Rita - basil pesto, varied cheeses, garlic pomodoro sauce n micro greens - osho good version of the margherita Would love to see the upcoming Scottsdale location!
(3)Gabriel A.
Great place to get a $6.50 happy hour pitcher of quality beer from 3pm to 6pm. Good cheeseburgers as well. Outside patio is nice to sit out on. Dog friendly, bicycle friendly, easy to ride to on the canal.
(5)Rhombus A.
Everything I said previously is still true. I just have more to add. The only reason I EVER go here now is when I want to take a dog with me. The food is abominable. The servers are nice, but the actual service is spotty and kind of strange. One time, three of us, with three dogs, sat on the patio, and we were moved by the waitress for no visible or coherent reason into a back corner where she proceeded to serve other people first. AND...they've added valet. I love valet when it's an option. I DESPISE valet when it's not optional. It's not really optional here. If it wasn't a super dog friendly place with decent beer, it would be straight 2 stars. Eat before you go. Food is SERIOUSLY gross. A friend of mine summed up the food here best. "I don't come here for the food, I come here for the company-I've had lots of bad meals for my friends and my dogs."
(3)Megan R.
Always love coming here, especially when the weather is nice and you can sit on the patio! I usually visit for brunch, because let's be honest....$10 for a meal and a drink!? You can't beat that. I love their mimosas and have never had a bad meal on the brunch menu. The service is always great, even when they are slammed. The atmosphere can't be beat too.
(4)Eloy W.
Ohhh Soo Good! I had the Flanders Red and the Dragoon. Flanders was pretty expensive and I liked the Dragoon better. Both good beers but $8 for the Flanders?? hmm... I ordered the Green Chile Pork tacos which were pretty good, I liked the roasted tomato salsa. I was hoping for more of a bite on the chile, but this is Phoenix so I let it slide. Everyone else ordered burgers and were happily content. We sat outside and next time I'm going to bring the pup. A very cool spot in Arcadia and I would of given 5 stars but, our waitress was a bit of a B. We still were able to wrangle up a good time and enjoy the Phoenix night.
(4)Reza B.
This place has it all. Environment, layout, huge patio, great beer selection and food to match. I recently found out you can also craft your own beer here with the OHSO brewmaster. Great spot for happy hour, lunch or dinner.
(4)Taylor H.
Awesome place! I had the grilled cheese with the tomato marmalade on the side (I wasn't sure if like it, but it was so good) and I loved every bite. My friend had the AZ burger, it has jalapeño cream cheese, delicious! We tried a sample of all of the OHSO beers and while they were all very good, none of them stood out as amazing. I will definitely be back, such a great place. Also, they have home made dog treats to take home!
(4)Sean B.
A word of advice - don't set inside. Stay by the bar area or in the front or back patio. The inside setting has zero insulation (i.e. Carpets or sound blocking material) Two people can barely hear each other YELL! I'm not kidding either... But I love the atmosphere there and the beer is really good. I just know where not to set....
(4)Anne S.
I would give this place zero if possible. The patio is amazing and it's seems like such an enjoyable place to visit. However I have been a handful of times and the service makes me cringe every single time. I hate to be harsh, but this is a reoccurring problem. Servers are rude and don't care. Last time I went my first server rolled her eyes when my friends and I ordered alcohol, demanded an ID then a second form from all of us... One of my friends only had her passport and the server made a severely snide comment about that. After the ID mishap she rudely stated she wasn't going to help us and pointed to a man saying "your his" then strutted away. We had to reorder our first round 10 minutes when he came around. The second server was not much better. If you want to spend money to be ignored and made to feel inferior, then by all means OHSO is your type of place.
(1)Kory L.
It was my first time at OHSO on Sunday around 3pm. They ran out of brisket the day before so I didn't go for their bottomless bbq special. I ordered the Hot Pastrami sandwich with fries. It was a good sandwich. Nice bun, toppings, and quality pastrami. But I was very disappointed with the fries. I think they use the same supplier as Burger King. My girlfriend and I shared a pitcher of mimosas, so unfortunately I didn't try one of their nanobrews. The bathroom could have use some attention on our visit. Otherwise it was a fun and relaxed ambience, and a upscale casual dining experience.
(4)Vanessa M.
Loved everything now about this place. From the casual decorations to the super friendly (and obviously dog lover) staff. When you walk through the backyard they have homemade dog treats and water bowls for all the furry pets. I came in while I was dog sitting along with my own dog and decided to try a dog friendly restaurant and it was a great experience. My dogs loved it also! I got the cobbler (turkey burger) it was amazing! Idk what kind of bread they used but it was buttery and so soft I had to eat all of it!
(5)Michael T.
Great nano brewery with several locations and more popping up all around town. Amazing patio for the AZ summers to sit on and enjoy a variety of local beers and the patio is dog friend. You also can't beat the Beer Brunch. $10 for brunch AND a beer. I was just recently here for a friends beer tapping party. You can actually purchase a package and OHSO lets you pick out ingredients and brew your very own beer in house and when it is ready, they tap it and put it on the beer list for sale. How awesome is that. All locations I have been to so far are great with large patios and great selection of beer.
(5)Lynnette S.
Amazing brunch deal for $10 which includes a hefty meal and your choice of a 10oz AZ brew or a Monster Mimosa! They have a fairly extensive craft beer menu and everything food related has yet to disappoint. I love how you can bring your dog, too! OHSO makes it easy with water bowls, homemade treats and enough shade/ fans outside that even an Arizona Day can't keep me and my pooch away :)
(4)Sarah H.
I like this place as a bar, but I haven't been impressed with any of the food I've tried here.... Will probably skip this place if I'm hungry

I came here with a friend for my Birthday Lunch. I was so excited to finally get here after the crappy German joint closed down. I'd only heard good things about it and they are true. They have a wonderful selection of beer and a very interesting menu. Since we made it for brunch we went with it. We started with the Crab Dip. The only place I've been to that brought out enough chips for the dip. It was delicious. I could have eaten 2 serving myself and readily regretted it. It is very salty. But very good if you can handle it. We both went with the Carnitas and Egg bowl with the not so Crispy Fires. I usually only like Teriyaki Bowls. The mixture of some many other ingredients is usually a turn off. This in turn was very good.I got the pico on the side, so it wouldn't make the fries soggy. No worries, the Carnitas had so much liquid that the pico wouldn't have mattered. Yes the Carnitas were very good with green chilli's mixed into it but my fries were completely soggy. It's also high in Salt/Sodium. With the wonderful variety I'm sure there are other dishes with a healthier sodium content. We just picked the 2 items that we could feel had an immediate effect on both of our blood pressures before we were gone 15 minutes. Burger on the next visit. You'll love the beer menu. Lot's of different offerings for your palate. Even an 11%er on the menu. Being my Birthday we had the Strawberry/Rhubarb Pie. It was wonderful. Fresh, flavorful and sweet to make my birthday special. I will be back here. So many healthier things to try along with the beer. And if nothing sounds good on the menu when I get there, I will still be eating the Pie.

After receiving a generous gift card from the manager, my boyfriend and I were able to have two enjoyable date nights here. We had previously experienced not so stellar service but I can say whole-heartedly that it was just a one-time mistake. Our return visits to Ohso have all been wonderful and delicious! Thank you for being such a dog friendly establishment too! My dog loves it here!
(4)Danielle B.
Love the patio, great food and you can bring the dogs! This is a great neighborhood spot
(5)Taylor D.
I've been to OHSO a few times as I love the atmosphere and food plus a great place to bring your cute dog! But, I can't get over how warm the beer is. Seriously what a great and fun selection of beer to try, but what an awful temperature. I sure hope in the future they are able to add a better cooling system to the taps as I think the beer would taste even better. This food is worth trying, especially for brunch but don't get hung up on the warm beer.
(3)Jess W.
Place has always been my favorite. Great atmosphere, great specials. I only have two complaints... I always walk out smelling like I was cooking in my nanas kitchen and the salmon was dry. I'm unsure why I walk out smelling like food when I'm not cooking but it's overwhelming. Ventilation might be a good thing. Everyone there is fantastic. I just wish I wouldn't walk out smelling like a kitchen. Still my favorite place.
(4)Bruce M.
I love this place. Simply put, it's a brewery with great food. The beer menu changes often but the food is consistent.The great thing about OHSO is that it's multi purpose. Sometimes i come to eat dinner, sometimes I come to drink a lot of beer and other times I'll come for the amazing Mimosa brunch. All of the beers I have tasted have been delicious and the variety of creative brews does not exist elsewhere in the area. As far as the food goes I've had their BBQ burger and their churasco steak and eggs brunch dish. Both of which I would rate 5 stars and the brunch special (an entree with a very large mimosa for $10) is one of the best deals in all of Phoenix. In addition to great food and great beer, this place is dog friendly, you can bring your dog on the patio, they have water dishes and they even make free doggie biscuits that my dog absolutely loves. That's an extra touch that secures the 5th star for this truly unique establishment. OHSO has become my go to neighborhood bar/brewery and the 1st place I think of when I want to grab a beer.

Went here on a recent Sunday to celebrate a friends birthday brunch. We had two large tables outside for our group which was nice. I do love the dog friendly patio even though we left our two at home (oh well, next time they will join us). It wasn't to bad sitting outside since they had the misters on but you do fell pretty "damp" all over which is better than being hot. I really liked their brunch menu! You could select a beer or mimosa and an entree for $10. I had a mimosa and green chilie pork breakfast burrito. The mimosa was good and so was the food. The only think I didn't care for was that the only green chilie pork was just a tad that topped the top of the breakfast burrito. Oh well...it was still pretty tasty. One draw back was how LOUD it got when the World Cup Finals were playing. The volume on the TV was a bit much where I just stopped talking to people in my group because I was yelling so they could hear me and that was frustrating. I will be back with the dogs but not during sporting events that is for sure. Service was great this day as in the past it hasn't been the best.
(3)Mary M.
This place is great and the atmosphere is a breath of fresh air in the Phoenix-Scottsdale night scene! I have come here in smaller groups and been met with great service, food and drinks coming out in good time, and just over all pleasant experiences. I have also come here with large groups of 40+ people and I have seen the staff handle busy nights with patience, good humor and good service! This location feels much larger than the newer location near the Scottsdale airport, and the patio art and vibe seems much more organic, neighborhood bar-y and laid back. Both are great brewpub, bar, whatevers, with their own strengths!
(4)Greg G.
Cool place for happy hour and to sling a few brews with your pooch in tow. It's friendly enough, sometimes the wait can be pretty long so be prepared for that. I've never had any real issues with the service or staff like is mentioned in other reviews. And I've been numerous times. I think the food is pretty good. They have lots of options, and the beer list is huge. I like it there and have met lots of interesting people there as well. Sometimes the crowd can tend to be a little trendy, uppity so I guess that explains some of the bad reviews. I like it.
(3)Risa Y.
I drove by Phoenix driving back to California from Sedona. I was hungry so I looked up a bar/ restaurant with TV where I can watch the Sunday games. O.H.S.O was the first thing that popped on my yelp search. I parked right in front of the restaurant in the restaurant parking lot. I walked in and seated myself at the bar. I ordered some beer and ordered an Arizona burger. The bar tender wasn't too friendly... she seemed to be a bit of a stuck up. It looked like everyone seated at the bar were regulars and maybe that's why I didn't feel so welcomed but, that really shouldn't be the kind of service that I should be getting regardless. What saved it was the burger. The Arizona Burger was OH SO GOOD! If I lived in Phoenix, I'd probably come back for the burger even though the service sucks. Who knows maybe the other servers are nicer!
(3)Brittany W.
O.H.S.O. is a fantastic place to get together with some friends for yummy food and beer. Not only do they have one of my favorite beers on tap (Papago Orange Blossom), but they have a wide selection that can please any palette. If you're a microbrew junkie, then this is the place for you. Their own house brews are delicious. Not to mention they house local AZ Four Peaks brews which is cool. As far as their food goes, their flatbread pizzas are awesome, especially the grilled chicken flatbread pizza. For me, the flatbreads are easy to split and then you can order more goodies on the menu! I LOVE sandwiches and their Hot Pastrami does NOT disappoint. It was hot, incredibly flavorful, and filling. What more could you want in a sandwich? On their happy hour I've had the pretzel + cheese and it was awesome. I have plenty to try on their menu, they have so many things that seem tasty. I've heard great things about their brunch and I love their back patio during the fall and spring when the weather cools back down. You can bring your pups back there!
(4)Graham S.
Great place as a Hipster's Hangout. A parades of awesome atmosphere!!!! Went during happy hour. Dog friendly patio- probably the coolest restaurant patio and largest i ever seen. Cool friendly staff! They even offer doggy bags up front. The food is excellent, unique and different. It's a hip place with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Big enough for large groups to sit comfortably, and intimate enough for a date as well... Complimentary valet service also. Loved it.
(5)Morgan T.
I absolutely love the atmosphere, but I am not a fan of the food for the price tag. They have a great happy hour appetizer menu that I wish was offered all day. Perfect date spot as they have an array of beers + cocktails. My boyfriend and I love to come here for their Sat/Sun brunch. They are happy to accommodate food allergies. Your date can be male, female, or furry :) Great place to bring your dog. Not too hot in the summer as they have misters.
(4)Libby H.
I love OHSO for it's laid back atmosphere and amazing patio. It's close enough for me that we can bike there, and they have plenty of bike racks plus tools to help with small bike repairs, and even locks. Their patio is also very dog friendly, complete with water bowls and dog treats made from the spent grain from brewing some amazing beer. Their beer list always features their beers along with other local beers that are rotating on tap - I've always found something to enjoy to drink (even for brunch - how about a cold brew coffee beer?). I enjoy their food but I've been so much that I kind of wish they would update their menu with a few new items. My favorite stand-bys are the veggie burger and the fish tacos. You can also substitute any of their regular burgers with the veggie burger or the turkey burger, and they are both delicious. Their fries are good, their brunch is good, their BBQ is good, basically everything is good.
(4)Francis V.
Anything on the menu is quite phenomenal. I love trying different types of Mac and cheese, and the Mac del mar has quite the bite! I am a die hard jalapeño fan, so right away I was excited. Also, the white sangria is the most delightfully refreshing beverage I've ever had. Make sure to grab a pitcher, because one glass is just a tease! It's light and sweet.
(5)Bjern H.
Came here on a hot summer afternoon with my brother-in-law and liked how they served brunch on the weekend until 2pm. Also, the outdoor vibe and bartender were good despite it being triple digits. The misters and shading make it more bearable. I will say the TV on the outdoor balcony needs an upgrade because it was really blurry and hard to see during the day. Why put a soccer game on when it's nearly impossible to visualize. Also, the female bartender inside wasn't very friendly when I stopped by to fill up a growler, so cest la vie
(3)Paul D.
Well, after visiting twice over the weekend and three times since the new year, I figured I had better add my review to the pile. It has a causal, very dog friendly vibe. The kind of place that fits perfectly in the Arcadia neighborhood. On the Friday night it was busy when I arrived there with friends around 8pm. A nice mix of locals and tourists ranging from dressed up to casual. The crowd died off around 10 or 11pm. On Sunday afternoon, the back patio was full of people. The access to the walking trail along the Indian School Canal pulls people in, especially if out waking their dogs. This place has water dishes and free dog treats. As I mentioned, VERY dog friendly. I came for beers with friends, but we had some food too. The flatbread was good with an appreciated, slightly flaky crust. The other food items were also enjoyable as batter than average bar food fare. TIP: Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 11am until 6pm. All Arizona pitchers of beer (about 2.5 pints), all glasses of wine, and all house specialty cocktails are $6. By the way, in March they are opening a third location in Paradise Valley at the intersection of Tatum and Shea.
(4)Victor G.
Great place for brunch. A lot of different options. The beef jerky stick in bloody the marys is a nice addition.
(5)John C.
Great bar! Tons of local beers and a big patio. We stop by most often when the weather is cool and bring the dogs along
(5)Lorenia W.
Definitely a great place to go to! Patio is perfect especially for the type of weather we've been having lately. I had the pulled pork, husband had the burger and cheese, 3 yr old had the chicken tenders. Also tried one of their low hop beers. We were all happy that we didn't even feel the desire to try one another's order lol the fries too! They were crunchy throughout and didn't get soggy or hard. My pulled pork had just the right amount of spicy and even though it was really juicy, the bread that it was on served on soaked it up to where the taste of the bread and juice made it even more of a 10! The burger was flavorful as opposed to places where the patty isn't seasoned enough. The sauce was just the right amount and gave it that extra kick while still keeping that hint of ketchup. Needless to say we finished everything on our plates and the portions were huge. Reasonable price and service was great! We'll be back for sure!
(5)Marléne B.
Popular indoor/outdoor casual dining: sports bar inside with dog friendly patio. Very attentive service and (as a nearby resident) one of my top neighborhood FAVS! Love the salads and there's also a variety of other yummy menu options!
(5)Paige G.
Brunch and Beer...need i say more. $10 gets you a meal at this brewery. Disappointed in the Bloody Mary (i substituted vodka for beer as the server suggested) & definitely the server chose the wrong beer for this drink. Otherwise fun place, good atmosphere and can bring your pup!
(3)Chris H.
Everything was great until the check came and my card didn't swipe at first and they talked all loud about how I have to show my ID even though I showed it when I ordered beer I said "I'm not worried about it, keep it" and they basically yelled they were bringing it back. I said it's not a big deal that they had to photo copy my ID and card and they still kept talking loud about it to the point people were watching. Then the guy who wasn't being loud came back and said it swiped and I left my 20% tip and left. If/when I go back I'll be bring fucking cash...who knows it might still be suspect as fake. Everything was fantastic till it came time to pay, and for the experience alone.......
(1)Melissa D.
Recently noticed they changed their menu and no longer have the sweet chili burger that is my favorite. They were still willing to make it for me except they don't carry the specific cheese anymore. I'm still a happy camper!
(4)christin f.
I adore this place! I've tried a few of their own beers but haven't found anything I've loved. They do however also carry other offerings from other breweries, and any place that regularly carries myrcenary dbl ipa is a okay in my book. The food has always been good and they have amazing patio space. This place is also incredibly dog friendly and even has a little "doggie bar" with organic treats, dog bowls, and a water station. Makes me sad that my dog is a freakin' psycho and doesn't play well with others. The back patio is backed up to the canal and has wonderful views of camelback.
(4)Jon S.
Friends wanted to go to dinner here.... it is off our places to stop by for breakfast list (see previous review) but we gave it a try. Sat out on the patio. Was nice once we found a spot that isn't in wind tunnel conditions. Got two pitchers of Orange blossom beer.... both were room temperature..in the summer in Arizona?. hmmm. The waitress wasn't all that distressed about it ... only offered to bring us a couple of chilled glasses as a remedy... really? We ended up putting ice in our glasses of beer. The pitcher of a different beer was ice cold. We split a burger and fries. It was hot and delicious. Kudos. Driving by this place is always crowded.... so they must be doing something right. Just... not when I'm there. It has always needed more consistency in service and food/drink quality... so I always feel like my money will for sure be going out... but what I may or may not get might be great or just so so. That's why it has remained on my once or twice a year stop by place... and not a regular haunt. It needs that polish that the Fox concept restaurants seem to have down to a science.
(3)Rebecca C.
The AZ burger is delicious! And I luv the dog friendly patio! You must love dogs to sit in the back patio to be able to put up with doggie shenanigans, like a dog walking under your table or occasionally barking. Its a great, great place to go. I highly recommend it!
(5)Mitch D.
Do yourself a favor... Order the pastrami sandwich. I was torn between the brisket and pastrami sandwiches and on the advice of our waiter I went pastrami... No joke, best pastrami sandwich I've ever eaten! Every time I come back I will order the pastrami!!!
(5)Pancho Pantera ..
I just can't get enough of this place. Every time I come it gets better and better. This last time I went on a IPA frenzy. Dragoon IPA 7.3 abv slightly bitter with a wonderful aroma Good Vibrations 7.2 abv citrous hop notes with a caramel taste. OSHO IPA also tried a couple of 2oz tasters for a buck or two Appetizer; Shrimp ceviche was surprisingly delicious. Plenty of juices, a good lemon/tomato balance and plenty of chips. Dinner: I want to come back not just for the beer but the AZ Burger. The combination of cream cheese/poblano aioli is mouthwatering. The only thing I didn't like was not enough fries love them thin and crispy.
(5)Karn H.
Need I say more? Some times it's so busy and the staff is great but it's not a quick stop! That's a good thing hang and stay!
(5)Jessica K.
OHSO always makes me OSHO happy. We enjoy biking the 5ish miles from home to OHSO and hanging out on the patio. We're actually thinking of getting bike trailer to put the dogs in, because we know they'd love to go to OHSO too! Overall the drinks are great, service is fantastic, and the food is pretty good (we've found a couple landmines on the menu). Brunch is an awesome deal - $10 for a brunch entree and it includes an AZ beer or a mimosa (a big mimosa!).
(4)Lucas H.
There are some places that are hard to review because they are bad. There are others that are difficult to review because there's just not much to say that hasn't been said before or otherwise. And then there are the places that are hard to review because you like them so much and they deliver time and time again and mere words just won't serve as proper adulation for such revered establishments. OHSO, if you couldn't guess, falls into the third category. My most recent experience at this restaurant solidified my love for this place. OHSO let's/teaches/enables you to brew your own beer and then serves it to eager/unsuspecting customers. For a mere $50 and plenty of time ahead, you and a few friends get a private brewing lesson/walkthrough and actually end up creating your own batch of drinkable beer. Our brewmaster instructor, Dave, was as good as we could've asked for. Knowledgeable and personable, he taught us so much in the few hours we spent brewing an IPA. If you have any interest in brewing our own beer or not, this is a great experience that everyone should try. And that's only tip of the icerberg when it comes to this place. Here are a few other highlights: - Dog-friend patio - Killer menu (breakfast flatbreads are a personal favorite) - Beer beer and more beeeeeeer And as a staunch supporter of the local economy, OHSO is always encouraging patrons to drink as much AZ beer as possible. So if you haven't been here already, bump this place up to the top of your list of places to try next.
(5)Ken B.
Great happy hour spot, although the pitchers of beer always seem to be served Luke warm. I know it been hot this summer, but their has been times throughout the year where the beer is always warm.
(3)Morgan C.
I don't know what all these three-star reviews are about, because OHSO is legitimately awesome. In fact, it's probably my favorite bar in Phoenix! I went for the Pie and Beer event and even though they had run out of pie by the time my friend and I arrived (which sucked even more because I could see other patrons enjoying pie while I waited for a table, and it looked amazing), I was delighted by what I could order, which was 1 Cherpumple beer, 1 Coconut Joe beer (hands down our table's favorite), and 1 Amber Creek. Every beer I had was top-notch. I also ordered the calamari and Ahi Tuna appetizer, which was quite tasty (my friend's friend said it was the best calamari he's had in Phoenix, although I believe that honor goes to Hiro sushi). The burger he ordered though looked amaze-balls. The beer is definitely the star of the show at OHSO though, which is exactly how it should be.
(5)Tasha C.
We've been dying to try O.H.S.O. for a while, but had never made it over. We have now been there twice, and it was even better than we expected. They are BEYOND dog friendly, and that's what we were looking for. We have brought our dog twice, and everyone is super friendly, and welcoming! The last time we visited, there was a dog event going on (what we went for), and despite it being VERY busy, the service was quick and friendly! The food is VERY good, and I couldn't think of a negative thing to say about the restaurant! Can't wait for the PV location to open!
(5)Momzj M.
excellent place to eat, and hang out. Food is super. the burgers are to die for. The staff is so cool and the beer is cold
(5)Loren J.
Gotta eat/drink here!,... The food was unique and delicious, I had the Del Mar Mac n cheese, with shrimp, crab & bacon. Also got a "pitcher" of Papago Brewery Orange Blossom beer, so smooth refreshing and tasty with an amazingly creamy finish. The pitcher are small, about 3.5 glasses of beer, but the price was still cheap. Service was beyond great. Our party of six had one picky eater and the waiter sat down to go over each dish she was deciding on, & at the end he offered to split the check for our party of 6 before we even asked. We WILL be back again & again.
(5)Veronica B.
Stopped in today to check out their beers and the digs!! I didn't do any "research" before I went so...only two or three Ohso beers on tap.... That's ok I settled on one rather than getting a flight. However, due to the great digs and the wonderfully kind and chatty beertender Justin, I will be back another time for some different beers!! Thanks Ohso!!
(4)George A.
I've driven by this place a bunch of times and was always curious about it. I finally got a chance to try brunch here this past weekend and loved it! I've always been a big fan of Four Peaks & this place has a similar vibe, but in a better neighborhood (I just moved back to Phoenix about a year ago and love what's happening in the Arcadia neighborhood). I didn't get a good luck at the inside of the place, because we waited on the front patio for a table on the back patio to become available (because you know, this is one of those places you HAVE to sit on the patio during brunch even if every table on the inside is open), but it seemed nice. We had to wait awhile for a table, but hey, it's Sunday brunch so what to you expect. Waiting for the back patio was worth it though. There's a really cool beer garden vibe going on with a cool/eclectic group of people. I REALLY liked the brunch menu. They have a menu w/several options that come w/either a beer or mimosa for $10. I got the biscuits & gravy (w/a mimosa) and they were both delicious! Our server was a very friendly and attentive for how busy it was. I loved everything about this place, and will definitely be back!
(5)Jim C.
Nice atmosphere...friendly staff and decent food...I had the local IPAs on tap - kinda warm and flat out if the keg...sorta a bummer on a hot AZ summer night~
(3)George L.
I took my parents here for an early brunch on the day before mother's day (same experience minus a larger crowd) and this place was great. You can see them actually making the beer and when we were there you could smell the mash from their latest beer. Here is a place that has good food and excellent beer, much of which they make as there is a selection of several OHSO specific brews. Though parking is limited they have a free valet service that one just tips a few bucks on the way out, and then one can walk right in, a definite plus in the hotter months (well, half the year in Phoenix) here in the valley of the sun. Once you are in, though it is busy there is lots of seating and the wait staff is personable. The wait person was nice enough to point out that the homebrewer who had done the beer I was having (a strong connection between OHSO and the local homebrew community) was sitting the next table over so I was able to have a quick chat about the makeup of the beer. My parents and I both had the sausage brunch special and the sausage is from the German commissary next door. When you walk out, instead of going to the valet, walk next door and take a look at the sausage and cured meat selection, but remember to bring cash there as no credit is selected. OHSO must be doing well because they seemed to have opened another location in North Scottsdale. All I know is that when I went here they seemed to be firing on all cylinders and its nice to be able to start up a quick conversation with a brewer in the open brewing area. I look forward to going here again!
(5)Jared T.
Went in for late night grub and drinks. Enjoyed the Hummus and deviled egg appetizers. Also enjoyed their Oatmeal Stout. Realized they had one of my favorite vodka brands Deep Eddy. Shared the 2 burgers on the late night menu with my friend. The BBQ one was awesome! Left full and satisfied. Bartender was attentive and i will definitely be going back soon.
(4)Preston C.
Complimentary Valet is always a plus The inside has a cool industrial, outdoorsy, bicycle feel... It is also a "seat yourself" deal which I'm not sure is all the time or just on the weekends but I didn't mind because I got to choose a cute low table in the main seating area... I love the chalkboard signs and menus on the wall... Our server was nice and cool... Gave us a menu and took our water orders... The menu is pretty small but everything sounds good I chose the pumpkin ale which sounds yummy For my entree I selected the Skirt Steak with fries which seems like a very popular item... The pumpkin ale is great! I was informed that the skirt steak was mixed sort of like carne asada fries and so I would thought I would give it a try They are really yummy Such a great flavor and the steak is cooked perfectly... I was not expecting so much flavor from this dish but it is exceeding my expectations All in all it was a great visit and I am glad to have tried this spot, I will be back soon

My wife and my three boys took me to O.H.S.O. for a pre-Father's Day dinner, to avoid the crowds on Father's Day. This place is never disappointing, always with good food, and good beer. I've been here on many occasions prior to Father's Day weekend so I can attest to the consistency of O.H.S.O. as far as food, beer and service. Located right off of a major canal in Phoenix, O.H.S.O. is easily accessible by bicycle...and many cyclists do frequent. Another unique feature is the dog friendly patio, out back. On any given afternoon, you will find the patio occupied by K9's and their companions....there are even complimentary homemade treats for the quadrupeds made from spent grains from the brewing process. Oh, and if you have the inclination to brew your own O.H.S.O. offers a program where just about anybody can come in and brew, using their equipment and facilities for storage while your beer conditions for a couple weeks. If you like beer...real beer.....good craft beer brewed locally, O.H.S.O. is your place!
(5)Julie U.
The shrimp tacos used to be amazing, but started to come out oily, so I stopped ordering them. It's bar food, but it's good bar food for sure. Happy hour all day until 6pm with $6 small pitchers of beer; yum! The weekend beer/mimosa brunch menu is also a perfect way to start your day!! Oh and it's so sweet that they give out free dog biscuits for our furry friends :)
(4)Lauren F.
Five stars! That's right, beer fans if you haven't seen what OSHO has to offer, you're missing out! First off their beer selection rocks. You can even brew your own beer and pick a name for it with their on-staff beer geniuses. The happy hour prices are awesome - you can get a pitcher or a pint and I think during happy hour the pitchers are only a dollar more than a pint. So that's a tough decision ha ha! Next, this place is dog friendly on the patio. So bring your pup and some friends next time. They have a dog wash station and a little dog bowl bar to keep your canine buddy hydrated. They even bake homemade dog treats from leftover grain from the beer making process. They also have beer events and smoke meats on the patio for barbecues. If any of this sounds appetizing to you, plan a happy hour with your friends at OSHO! You won't regret it. P.S. the patio gets pretty full, but I believe they take reservations, so give them a call to find out, if you plan to bring a large party.
(5)Jordan C.
I was recommended to go to OHSO for brunch from an AZ local. Driving up, it was very busy so I assumed it was going to be pretty good. It is a good deal for their $10 beer brunch, where you get a dish from their list and an AZ brew, which always makes me happy. I was with my girlfriend and we ordered the blue crab dip to start off. There was hardly any crab in the dip and the chips were very much stale. So needless to say it wasn't he best start to the meal. I did however enjoy my mocha java porter that was an OHSO in house brew. The rest of the meal was not bad, I got the carnitas bowl and my gf got the bratwurst breakfast. I'm a potato fiend so definitely they were on point, but for the most part nothing was too extraordinary, but not bad. I would come back for the beer :) Cheers
(3)Eric W.
We stopped in for brunch and this may have been the best brunch I've ever had. For $10 we each received either a mimosa or a 10oz beer plus our choice of brunch item. I went with the breakfast burrito.. a lot of great flavors in there! I also sampled the flatbread which was unique and tasty with red sauce combined with breakfast toppings. Their biscuits and gravy featured a spicy variation of gravy that I wish I would have had more of. The beer selection was equally great, featuring a variety of AZ/NM beers and others from around the country. My only regret was that I wish we would have gone again while we were out there!
(5)DR W.
Ask for the hostess with the mostess Kristin !! . You will love this business - great vibe and good mix of locals!! Excellent beer selection love the local brew micro brews!! Fog City #1 Good vibrations #1A
(5)Brian D.
Beer brunch? I don't mind if I do. Great food great local/national beer with bartenders who know what beer really is all about...and even how to mix beers. Great gravy. BTW bring your dog.
(5)Kirsten Z.
The whole dog prints everywhere and dog treats at the front, made me pretty hesitant, I mean dogs and food together?? Weird. However, I didn't see a single dog there, mind you it was Friday night. We were able to get a table for four quickly with no problem. I really enjoyed the atmosphere it's very homey and cozy and not too fancy. The food and drinks came quickly and our server was awesome. My friend and I each ordered some ohso brews. Mine, the white elephant was super hoppy so I didn't like it and it never said that it would be in the description. My friend got the groovy and it was watery tasting, yuck! To eat, I had the brisket which was great! The crunchy onions and sauce just make it. My friend who also ordered the brisket, had her bun come out burnt. It's not that hard to toast a bun dudes... Our other friends had the chicken sandwich and they said it was awesome. I would come here again, despite the dogs but next time I'll stick to water!

OHSO is such an amazing place with amazing food. I have been here a couple of times and I am planning on going back again soon. The food selection, service, and their dedication to the community are outstanding. The first time I went I tried several of their beers/ciders and the waitress was so friendly, knowledgeable, and patient regarding our selection. They have an awesome selection of local beers--the only sad thing is it changes often, so if you really like a beer/cider you better get two or three because you might not see it again. It is great that they have $1 tasters, so you can try as many as your heart desires. For our entrée my friend and I shared their Kalua Pork--it was so tender, juicy, and sweet--I would have licked the plate if I could. For dessert we had their amazing caramel apple pie. This past time I had their Spicy Pulled Pork and French fries out on their patio--the pork was very juicy and sweet--unfortunately it was a little too juicy as the bread became very soggy and it was hard to eat, but it was still wonderful. Like I said I plan on coming back here again particularly on a Sunday for their $10 beer and brunch. OHSO is definitely a wonderful and fun find.

Decided to come for their Sunday brunch after a long hike. It can be a long wait, but it's worth being able to eat outside with your furry friend. $10 is a great deal for a glass of mimosa (or beer) & they are generous with the pour. The Garden flat pizza and Breakfast flat bread were both good. If you haven't tried OHSO yet with your pet, you definitely should!
(4)Trish G.
This place is amazing. It's a beautiful Saturday morning or sitting out here having a wonderful breakfast dogs next to us and it's packed in here. Did I mention that they have really good mimosas?
(5)Kamryn C.
I really liked O.H.S.O. My friend and I came in on a Monday for lunch, and had our pick of the patio. Pitchers of beer were half off, and they have a great selection of local and non-local brews. Our server was incredibly attentive. We split the green chile dip to start, and it was awesome. We literally devoured it to the last drop. The housemade veggie burger was good as well, and didn't fall apart which is a complaint I have about most veggie burgers. All, in all a great place. Nice patio and good beer and food? A new Phoenix favorite.

To park here you must valet, or walk a mile, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Was harassed by two different workers within two min about parking in the medical plaza adjacent to their establishment. I am simply trying to eat at their location and give them money and they are making life hard for a paying customer. Took my business else where and will continue to until this is corrected. A customer that wants to give a company business should not have their life made hard simply due to their valet service. Would be giving zero stars if that was a option.
(1)Cora B.
I love this place - great food & great atmosphere! They have yummy salad and FANTASTIC Blackened Salmon Tacos. Dog friendly. Bike friendly. Good tunes. Parking is a pain, but they have complimentary valet. Totally recommend!
(5)Lori P.
Went here for a business meeting, loved the outdoor seating and ambiance. It was a very fun location be. Unfortunately I was sick from another restaurant, so couldn't eat or drink here. Hopefully next time I'm in Phoenix I can visit and enjoy more than just the atmosphere.
(4)Kels R.
I love OHSO! Amazing food, amazing people, great location and a true love of dogs! With all that they would get five stars. I deducted a star because we came for game day Sunday and they don't have the ticket or enough Tv's. Add that to the ambience and they have a new game day hot spot.
(4)Tiffany C.
Food is pretty decent, drinks are kind of expensive. My biggest issue is parking. You can either valet or park across the street which consists of like 10 spaces which are always full. I've not really explored the menu much but I've heard it's pretty good. Prices are a little steep though.
(4)Irina H.
This place is so cute! It has an interesting, eclectic atmosphere that's a bit rustic (lots of wood), a bit hipster (lots of bikes and doggies welcome) and a bit big-awesome-brew-pub-sports-bar (big tvs and spacious - lots of seating, big booths, big bar, lots of room to move around). The food is yummy, the atmosphere is laid back and the service is pleasant. We had the fish tacos and the veggie burger, which were both quite tasty, well above the usual level of bar food. My friend and I are already planning what we'll eat next time we go!
(4)Roger H.
Love the people service location Beers are always great Brunch for $10 and a drink!!!
(5)Courtney K.
The main reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars is because their burger gave me food poisoning. I had their regular burger and cheese because my boyfriend and I came really late and they only make a few things off their menu after 10. It obviously wasn't cooked or prepared properly, whatever the reason may be, but I got sick the next morning and was sick for the next 3 days. Other than that, our server was stuck up and condescending to us at first, after he realized we were under 21 and not here to drink, but he must have thought that I noticed because after two comments that my boyfriend and I noticed were a little rude, he gave us great service and I ended up thanking him for good service before we left. Still it was that first encounter. Neither one of us are 21, so we don't go out to new places for drinks just yet, but it doesn't matter. He was very condescending to us once we said we were under 21, which meant to him we must have been a couple of kids. And even if we WERE just kids, which we AREN'T, we didn't need to be talked down to just because we aren't 21, but love breweries and brewery food.
(2)Lisa V.
This is a fun place. All the action is happening on the patio outback. You get to bring your dogs! this is good if you like dogs. The atmosphere is one of the key highlights. The back patio is lined with bicycles which also act as fans. The Decour is also one of the highlights. I had the breakfast bowl for brunch. The brunches are tasty and priced right. For $10 you gets a breakfast entrée and a 10 ounce beer or a Mimosa. My breakfast bowl was a little on the dry side, I should've asked for more salsa which was my fault that I didn't ask. Otherwise I rate this place a five for great food and great atmosphere.
(5)Matthew L.
Love the feel of this place. I highly recommend hitting it up after a good Saturday night for their Sunday brunch. Nothing like a bit of the hair of the dog to get you back on track. The food is good and fresh and the beer is always cold and refreshing. Bring the dog for a fun time. Mine loves the spent grain from the brewing process biscuits.
(5)Kelly K.
We sat on the patio on a Friday night around 845pm. The wait time when we arrived was around 45 minutes but we got a table in about 30-40 minutes. The patio was packed with two-legged and four-legged friends alike. Probably one dog for every two people. There were one or two troublemaker pooches that strolled through, but for the most part, all of the furry friends were on their best behavior, chilling under the tables waiting for scraps to fall their way. If you like the company of dogs, you will enjoy the patio here. (I can't comment on the interior as we were outside the whole time) I don't live in Phoenix and my friend who does says it was rare, but there was a ton of wind on this particular evening and the back patio is next to a dusty trail, so there was quite a bit of dirt flying around during our stay. It wasn't too bad but it was annoying at times. I'll chalk it up to a rare occasion. I ordered the seared Ahi salad. Four large pieces of tuna all tasted very fresh. A lot of times when I get an ahi salad I am disappointed in the amount of fish but I was pretty pleased with these slices. Just the right ratio of greens to fish. The dressing was sweet but not heavy. The red peppers and dried cherries were a nice complement as well. But beware, it does have a kick. I like my spice more medium than anything, and though I wasn't expecting much spiciness in this salad, it did have more than I anticipated. It wasn't unbearable, but just know that it is pretty spicy. A beer and a glass of water will wash it down just fine. Speaking of beer, they have a solid selection of beers you won't find everywhere. I got a hef for #1 but can't remember my second. I did taste the orange blossom beer and glad I didn't order a full pint. It was basically an orange creamsicle with a touch of alcohol. My friend got a pineapple beer but couldn't finish it due to its sweetness. The beer selection isn't massive, but there's something for everyone with different tastes. My friends got pork tacos and the BBQ burger and both recommended those as well. You will have to valet here as parking is pretty scarce, but pretty sure it was free with a receipt. We got out quickly since it had died down considerably by 11pm.
(4)Robyn T.
I would come back here everyday if I could. Too bad I live across the country, can you open one in Boston? This is a perfect spot for dog owners, which I am. So much beer, so much great food, so many wonderful dogs! I met some friends here while on a business trip and I had no idea what a gem this was from the front. As soon as you walk in, there's this great outdoor patio, great inside area and as you continue to the back patio, it opens up to a whole new world! The beer was fantastic. Craft brewed, and I ordered a small pitcher of amber on my own. I got a burger and fries and it was juicy, tasty and went perfectly with the beer. One of my friends ordered fish taco's and I had the pleasure of taking a bite. Yep, I'll be getting those next time. Fantastic place and I will come back any chance I get!
(5)Ben D.
Great casual atmosphere with a couple of nice patios. It's located along the SRP Canal so many people ride bikes to the place. I've been here on many Sunday afternoons for the brunch special which includes an entree and pitcher of beer. Last night I tried the homemade mac & cheese with Beef Brisket. It's delicious and if you're not famished it's a good one to split. The Orange Blossom micro brew is very good as well at $8 for a 32 oz pitcher. The service has always been consistently good and the staff takes pride in the place. The only shortcoming is the lack of appealing appetizers. If they expand these options (spice it up a bit) this becomes a 5 star pub.
(4)Tim A.
Always liked this place, but Sunday brunch has gotten ridiculous. This morning I was told there was a 30-40 minute wait, after standing at the hostess table for several minutes while the hostess scribbled on a dry erase pad. There were lots of empty tables, but we still couldn't be seated. Won't be going back for brunch. Also parking sucks.
(2)Mitchell C.
Amazing beer and food. The brew board is to die for, and their standard IPA was one of the best I've ever had. Dying to go back for more!
(5)Edgar R.
Giving it 2-stars because of the food and beer... however, I haven't had this bad of a service in a long time!!! We sat at the outside bar and both bartenders were horrible! Un-attentive, rude, slow and plain awful. The atmosphere is good for a younger crowd, otherwise I wouldn't recommend. Might be back to try their newer brews coming up but this first visit left a lot to wish for...
(2)Alana B.
7th visit and it has been a great experience every time! The latest visit was just a quick 5pm stops for some beers and appetizers with friends, again some interesting new beers to try. We had the Brewers Board app, nice selection of appetizers and all tasty. Previous visits have been on the back patio, a very fun place eat and even let your dogs socialize. Sunday breakfasts and the weekend barbecues are some of our favorites. It's a bit of a drive for us, but definitely worth it, the food and service have been consistently great My dog is addicted to the free dog biscuits they bake there, so I always make sure I have a pocketful on the way out.
(5)David D.
love to come here on a sunday morning after a walk with my dog along the canal - - dog friendly patio with dog-bar and treats, great atmosphere.
(4)Kayluh D.
Came here for a brunch Saturday morning after a Crossfit competition in Scottsdale. Downside? Obviously it was a bit impromptu on the brunch so we did not call ahead to reserve seating, and being there was 12+ of us, figured there would be a bit of a wait. Ended up sitting the patio (a bit hot, as this was during summer), and the downside was that none of the tables are able to move together. Did not mind sitting outside, nice shady umbrellas and misters, but having the group broken up on multiple different tables was a bit disappointing. Ordered waffles and mimosa, both were very tasty. Did not hear any complaints from any of my fellow crossfitters either!! (And they can be picky! Everyone seemed to enjoy it). On the flipside it was not terribly expensive, a decent price for a decent meal. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and being dog friendly rules!! I plan on taking my furbaby here for a return visit sometime in the next month or two. Can't wait. Hope the food and drinks are just as good on my return!
(4)Morgan D.
If you serve Papago Orange Blossom, I'm probably going to give you 4 stars for that alone. This says more about how much I love Papago Brewery than it does about O.H.S.O., but that's how good this beer is. Another thing I love? Cream cheese. And at O.H.S.O., they put that on a burger. I can't tell you how good this combo is. It's mouthwatering. Honestly, nothing else I've tried was worth ordering again. That cream cheese, jalapeño burger ruined me. It is so good, that I have to stay away from this place unless I want to start exclusively wearing pants with elastic waistbands.
(4)Megan E.
Beer for breakfast? Yes please! I love O.H.S.O. for many reasons- their phenomenal beer selection, the tasty menu, the patio, the free dog biscuits I snag for the pooch- but their beer brunch is the reason I get up most Sunday mornings. For the bargain price of $10, you can enjoy one of several breakfast entrees and an Arizona beer. I'm a huge fan of the green chili pork and the biscuits and beer gravy. They have a great happy hour too with several $3 appetizers and $5 pitchers of Arizona beers. The only thing I don't love about O.H.S.O. is the parking. It's practically non-existent, but they do have valet.
(5)Shannon H.
I stopped here for a late lunch one day. Very cool looking inside. Seems like the kind of place that is better at night than during the day. But anyway, it was dead and the servers still kept a pretty upbeat attitude. I mean, no one was jumping out of their shoes to serve or greet us, but it is what it is. My friend is a major IPA guy so I guess their beer selection wasn't too great. Whatever, I had my normal Guinness with a Jameson back. ;) I ordered the grilled cheese because it sounded too good to pass up. I had them sub bacon for the prosciutto because, well because it's bacon. My friend had a burger which looked uh-mazing. We had to move tables twice because there were so many flies. Finally made it over to a corner away from windows (which you think they might shut due to all the flies!) and that was ok. But when you're in a restaurant looking over a menu, flies swarming around, landing on the table, all over the windows is quite a turn off. No one seemed to care, so I guess I'm crazy. Anyway, the food was good and I'm sure the ambiance and energy is even better in the evening or on the weekends.

We visited OHSO for the first time last night with a good-sized group. I was so disappointed that we'll never be back. This is why: -After being seated, we waited 30 minutes before anyone came to our table. By the time someone finally did, he asked if he could take our orders. We looked at each other and said, "Um, can we see some menus?" This gentleman brought us menus and we never saw him again. -Our actual waitress came to our table about 10 minutes after we were given menus. After taking our orders, we never saw her again until she brought us our checks (which was maybe just over an hour later). This means that NOT ONE PERSON IN OUR GROUP EVER RECEIVED A BEVERAGE REFILL. I suppose this is because nobody ordered alcohol so we weren't "worth it" to the waitress. -The food took for freaking ever to come out. -The prices were high for the food that was prepared. I wasn't all that thrilled with my $12 burger. -We sat on the patio. The "shades" above us did not block out the sun so if one sat in the wrong seat, they fried. There is some kind of archaic air conditioning system or something that is so incredibly loud that it was all but impossible to carry on a conversation with the person next to me. The overly-loud music did not help. -The patio is next to the line outside, meaning we (including my infant and allergic mother) all had to breathe the cigarette smoke of inconsiderate patrons waiting to enter. Of course, even though they were far less than 20 feet from the entrance (as the law requires) none of the staff bothered asking smokers to obey the law. WE had to do that. -Valet parking is mandatory. It's "complimentary," but there is no such thing as free valet parking. Since we were not expecting this and we bank out of state (and therefore rarely carry cash) we were required to borrow $2 from a family member to tip the moron who changed my radio settings, moved my seat and messed with my rear-view mirrors. Really? -The seats are rather uncomfortable bar stools with no backs and therefore no back support. Try balancing a little one on one of those babies while eating. I get it, this isn't really a place for kids, but still... I prefer a back rest on my chair when I pay $12 for my hamburger. -Since I did not receive a refill on my beverage, I left the restaurant parched. The waitress was lucky that my husband got his hands on the bill before I did because she was given a tip. If I had things my way, I would have left very little, if anything... and I'm almost always a large tipper. :-( I see no reason to return.
(1)Ron S.
We stopped in for lunch during a weekday. The beer we tried was a light pale ale with was refreshing on a hot day. We both had a barbecue burger. The burger was done as requested. All the ingredients were fresh including the jalapeños I had added to my burger. The service was friendly and relaxed. Budget more than hour for lunch if you are visiting during a weekday. I look forward to returning and trying the spectrum of freshly brewed beers they offer.
(4)Denise M.
In July my husband and I went to the North Scottsdale location and w were very disappointed but decided to return but to the Indian School location. What an improvement on the beer choices and the menu. Great beer and terrific food. My husband and I shared pork tacos which were very good but the seafood mac and cheese was fabulous! Very cheesy with lots of very large shrimp, My mom came with us and she had the pastrami sandwich and she loved it, she couldn't believe how lean the meat was. We finished off with the caramel apple pie which is to die for. It is a must have! We had great service, the place is very clean and of course dog friendly and our dog loves the complimentary dog treats. We will be back.
(4)Katie C.
Cant believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Went with a friend for beer brunch during AZ Beer week. The food was sooo good and the drinks just the same (meal + beer/mimosa was $10). What draws me more to this place is the front loungy area and the back patio. SO cute but gets super crowded. Theres a water station for dogs and a trail behind it for bikers/runners to take a mini pit stop before heading back home/to the mall. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Queen R.
Went here again for the Sunday $15 All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Special from 3pm-7pm. Let me tell you it was NOT that special... Ribs were over cooked and dry, like chewing on beef jerky. The brisket is pulled & had a vinegar awful sauce. It's placed on a slice of white bread. The chicken leg & thigh had that same awful sauce. The cornbread though was excellent. Potato salad & coleslaw were alright. Our waiter was friendly & the service was good.
(2)Irene V.
I live nearby and kept meaning to pop-in. When I finally did I wanted to smack myself for waiting so long. Relaxed vibe no matter the time of day you come. (Fair warning: If you come alone during happy hour the pick-up lines will make you laugh.) You can't beat their happy hour AND the diversity of brews offered is killer. The bar area up front has an assortment of seating styles. Couches, booths and standing tables are mixed together which lends itself to conversation. The inside restaurant seems family friendly enough, but I've not sat there. But what I love, love, love is the back patio! There are booths, which are perfect for dates and groups, along the back. (We comfortably sat a group of five.) The bar is super neat as you're not just facing the bartenders. If you wanted to this is a spot to readily start a new conversation. Oh, but the food. I just enjoyed my burrito as a leftover for breakfast. Sunday they offer $10 meals with a 10 oz beer (or mimosa). There was a long list to choose from. I couldn't pick as there were waaay too many delightful things to pick from. Our super awesome server helped me triage and I ended up with a burrito that came with strawberries. YUM. Seriously. This morning I was too lazy to warm it up. Awesome. I've also enjoyed a flatbread BBQ chicken pizza - messy - but good stuff. I absolutely adore that this place carries a porter beer. (Even though we're in oven hot summer.) Thank you O.H.S.O.! Last thing - and this totally made me laugh yesterday. The valets were totally serious. I rode up in my bike and they would have valet'd my bicycle for me. "If I asked nice." These guys are always super nice when I drop off a car. I love them. Well, I love everyone on the staff too. Which is why coming here is such a nice experience.
(5)Jeff K.
So, as I have a Facebook page titled TheBikingBrewer, I figured the bicycle-themed brewery OHSO would be a slam dunk... but, actually, it was more like an air ball. First and foremost, the quality of their beers are well below average (I'm Certified with BJCP). The place itself was super crowded - too crowded - with minimal parking and then a 40 minute wait on a Tuesday. We went to the back bar which was again crowded, with people and more dogs than I've ever seen in a public place other than at a dog park. Our drinks took forever to come and after one tasting flight of the entire list of amateurish beers my girlfriend and I left. No need to ever return.
(2)Maria M.
Parking sucks, but you'll get over it due to their delicious burgers and beer! I would come weekly but live too far away. I come for the Sweet Chili burger or the spiciest burger ever... AZ burger! Truly delicious.
(5)Marissa D.
Best beers on tap anywhere. Always a good selection. Food is top notch. Beer and brunch is great. Huge breakfast with a beer or mimosa for $10. The back patio is amazing. Dog friendly and nice this time of year. Backs up to camelback for an amazing view and the canal which you can ride along. Make sure to take your growler with you to take home your favorite beer
(5)Rachel T.
Here's the scene: First weekend of October. Sunday. 11am - Time for brunch. The brat breakfast and a mimosa are a good start for 2 of 4 in our party. The other 2 folks get the bacon flatbread with a frosty AZ beer and never look back on their decision. 12pm - Time for a pitcher of mimosas. Our dog has decided she'd rather sit with the booth behind us. Be free, Little One, they don't mind. But, you're still tethered to the leash of love. 1pm - Football starts or continues. Who knows/cares? The shade umbrellas are up, misters on, fans are a spinnin'. This is when I love OHSO the most. Every day is like a neighborhood block party on the patio. We better get another pitcher. 2pm - We are getting hungry again. Yogurt and granola sound mighty healthy and refreshing. Nope. Well, sort of. But still, let's also order fries. And sweet potato fries. 2:45pm - Still hungry. Did we really think yogurt and french fries would satisfy the 4 of us? It's almost time for the Backyard BBQ to start. Bring more drinks, please. 3pm - BBQ Time!!! Round #1 is gone in the blink of an eye. Any server within arms reach of our table is now at risk of being grabbed by saucy fingers. We need more ribs! And cornbread! 5pm - Our server is like part of the family as we say goodbye and head home smiling and full. Great day!
(5)Andie S.
Like the large local beer list, and love how dog friendly it is! I will go again the next time I'm in Phoenix :)
(4)Sam S.
We've been here twice in the last few months and both experiences were fabulous! The first was a happy hour for our friend who brewed a house beer with the brewery. This was very unique to try his beer and we sat on the patio in a large group. We only tried the green chili dip which was delicious. I loved the local beer selection especially the Papago orange blossom and four peaks hefe!!! We returned a week ago for a birthday dinner and sat inside. It was a lot more mellow and quiet inside. This time I ordered the pork tacos which were very good and seemed homemade. It comes with a nice bowl if pork with a slaw, a bowl of yummy salsa, 5 tortillas, a dish of guac! Amazing understated friendly service both times. You can tell they like eating at thier restaurant!
(5)Ka M.
We don't live in Phoenix so relied on word-of-mouth recommendation for a place to eat while visiting. Came out tonight and had a Burger And Cheese while my partner had the Hot Pastrami. We both declared our choices to be absolutely fabulous! The next time we're in Phoenix, we'll be back here!!
(5)Krista N.
OHSO is another of our favorites. I love that we can walk or ride to them in about 10 minutes. We came last year for the first time and loved it and go back quite often and every time it gets better and better - whether it be the food or the decor. We went for the brunch for the first time the other day and WOW. Best bloody mary I have ever had. How can you go wrong with a giant piece of beef jerky to mix it with! The monster mimosa's are just that, monster and delicious. The biscuits and gravy are the best I have had since I moved to AZ. I tried everyone elses food and it was awesome as well but they were all into my biscuits. My favorite dinner dish is the gnocchi but literally everything on the menu is awesome. We will keep coming to this place as long as its open and it seems they have no desire to slow down.
(5)Christopher F.
Great Service. Waiters are always attentive and welcoming. Food is great for the value. Great Brunch Menu and soecials.
(5)Christopher R.
One of the few good places that allow dogs. The negative- the parking Is horrendous and the outdoor patio where dogs are allowed is completely full of pretentious a-holes who could sit anywhere in restaurant but chose to sit at the 6 tables dogs are allowed at and sip on their waters for 2 hours while half of the table are reserved for other larger parties. The positive- the food, the staff, and the beer selection are truly fantastic, but these terrible patrons sit there staring at you with your dog and and your 2 year old child as they continue to waist oxygen on this earth. And before you think I'm some 45 year old bitter woman, you should know that I'm 24 single dad how loves to try new places, but after trying this place 3 desperate times I'll never be going back again.
(2)Derrick B.
Great Place. Seat yourself. Quick service. Friendly staff. I'm a vegetarian and there were several options. There was a full brewery, and a full bar with great selection of wine as well as signature cocktails. I had the veggie burger. Flavorful and very hearty. It was a bit spicy. But I like spicy. The flourless chocolate was amazing and worth going just for that! This is a great place to hangout with friends, bring a date or a pet :-)
(4)Brian L.
In Arizona for the Super Bowl and stopped here on a Saturday night to eat. They have a really solid beer selection, some great local choices. I was able to sample numerous beers that I can't get in Florida. The atmosphere is a little hipster for my tastes, but they are soooo dog friendly that I fell in love with the joint. They even have treats to take away for your dogs at home, for free! I had the house made veggie burger, and it was really moist and tasty. I tried two of my friends' beef burgers and was also impressed. It's worth the visit if your in town.
(5)D R.
Wanted to update after doing the brewers experience. Thats right, I brewed my own beer at OHSO! So basically you sign up for one of the dates on their iphone app. They have a list of dates and then each date has a different type of beer. So porters, ipa's, amber, then some interesting specialty beers. You pay but then they give you a gift certificate for the same amount back so it free then right? Anyway, expect to spend about 5 hours when you brew. Dave the head brewer was awesome and went through the whole process and answered any questions we had. Although you might think you are stuck making a plain old porter for example, they are great in embracing your creativity. You can add ingredients, make it more or less hoppy. You get to customize everything. Dave's first answer when asking about adding things is yes. He also explains why something might not work how you want and makes alternate suggestions. The brewing area is in the open so the whole time people were taking pictures and asking questions who were there eating dinner. This is pretty unique. Don't think i've ever heard of a place letting you brew your own beer and then letting you have it up on the board for sale. So you get to brew your beer and then you name it and pick a tapping date. Thats right, your own beer will be for sale at OHSO. Oh by the way, you can eat and drink while your brewing. If you need beers or food they will have it brought over for you. So lets recap fowks...You get to spend 5 hours brewing your own beer while drinking beer! Then you get to go back a month later and drink your own beer and see it proudly displayed on the beer list..
(5)Lisa M.
What a gem. The people are warm, welcoming, and knowledgable. The food is outstanding. And even better they give back to the community. Go for the fantastic beer and food, stay for everything else.
(5)Ashley F.
Okay let me start by saying this place is awesome!! We can go out for yummy beer and food while not feeling guilty about leaving the furry kiddo at home! They even make treats for them! Our pup Henry loved hanging with us and the service is awesome! Great selection of tap beers and the hamburgers are soooo good!
(5)Larry C.
Went with my extended family last night. It was a big group and we had my elderly mother with us. We had a long wait that wouldn't work for us. After about 20 minute, we told them we had to leave. In order to keep our business, they followed us out to our cars and gave us a big table in a private room. The service was excellent and made for a very enjoyable night. I had a sweet spicy burger that I loved and all others were pleased with their food. We will definitely return. We had a great time! Thanks, OHSO staff for going above and beyond!
(5)Kitty M.
If you like the smell of stale alcohol, oddly placed bar TVs and dirty surroundings, stop on by. We sat in the bar, waited a few minutes to be served, looked at the menu that appeared to have been in it's own food fight and lost, and both decided to walk out. Menus are an indication of the level of restaurant cleanliness. Between the grime and lazy service, not sure how this place stays in business.
(1)Tamara C.
Amazing bar. Great drinks and really unique decor. Open air feeling with heaters for cool nights. Very clean and I didn't eat but menu looked good. There was stand area for dogs and bikes. One of the coolest places I've been!!
(5)Garrett M.
I'm gonna start by saying why I didn't give this place 5 stars. Horrible parking and the back patio always has flies. That being said, this place is the best. They have a really good beer selection outside of their own. The food is delicious. Definitely gotta come in for their $10 brunch which gets you breakfast and a beer or mimosa for $10. The patio is awesome. Aside from the flies, it's THE place to sit. Great view of camelback mountain. They also allow you to bring your dog to the patio too.

weve eaten here twice.. both times the food was good and the service was average. minus one star for allowing annoying barking dogs on the back patio. sorry. gross to me.

This is the 6th time I've been here and unfortunately it wasn't good this time around. The previous 5 I would rate between 3.5 and 4. This one unfortunately is a 2. Beer was good as always. Food, not so much. Crab won tons were very good, grilled cheese was soggy and had spaghettio sauce which they called tomato marmalade lol. Pretzel was ok, beer cheese was good. Calamari was a 1 out of 5 and the ahi was low grade at best. Since I haven't given them a review before you can consider the place a 3. I'll check in next time and hopefully it will be positive. Atmosphere is very good consistently and servers are polite.

Awesome place for happy hour! Great food, great drinks, great service, great prices, and all around fantastic atmosphere! Love the cheese dip and soft pretzels! The spicy hummus is awesome too. If you're in the Arcadia area, make sure to stop in for a quick bite, you won't regret it!

What a great spot! We are in Scottsdale for vacation and were looking for a casual place close to our condo on our first night here. Terrific outdoor patio and really cool bar inside. Between the 4 of us, 2 had tacos, 1 had salmon, and one had the brisket sandwich. We all agreed that our meals were terrific. Good prices too. I had one of their specialty cocktails. It was very tasty but there was so much ice in the drink that I think I only got about 6 sips out of it. Even with that, I highly recommend this place. I'll just get a beer next time!
(4)Austin T.
Unexpectedly good food. Excellent background music - makes me very happy. Much bigger inside than you would think. The entire place including the back patio is spacious, clean, creative, and has a great layout. Staff is friendly, but my first time here the server sort of just bailed and we had to track someone down to pay for the food. That person did give us some free stuff off the bill, but still . . . was a little annoying. But OHSO still gets 5 stars despite.
(5)Hunter S.
Really eclectic home brew selection, fantastic food and a ton of indoor or outdoor seating options. Cool ambiance, design and culture, too.
(5)Karla K.
This weekend my cousin from Seattle was here being the 12th man etc and he loves craft beer. I decided to take him to OHSO and he positively loved it. He carried on and on about the burger + cheese. I had the Brewers Board, just so good. We also had the pleasure of meeting Greg who was as good as it gets. So friendly and polite. In fact, they guy sitting next to me said that Greg was the kind of guy he would hire at his firm. HIs customer service was right on and 1 star is for him alone. We can't wait to get back there and enjoy the awesome patio!
(4)Lindsay W.
I'm knocking off one star for the less-than-stellar food (spongy flatbread, soggy fries). Otherwise, I love this place! Great beers on tap - I got the Angry Orchard Hard Cider. I love the decor and ambience. The back patio is SO COOL. The type of place you want to visit every Friday or Saturday night. It backs up to the canal and has great views of Camelback Mountain. A great place to come with friends. One note - there was a car accident last night right outside the parking lot. I'm not surprised, because the parking lot is CRAZY! I wish the parking lot were bigger.

We came here around 9pm on a Wed so I can't really review this place based on the social vibe. The service is awesome, it felt like we had a million servers and our drinks were always topped off and the food came really quick. All our requests were addressed immediately too! The beer selection here is great and especially since I'm a Californian I love trying new beers we usually don't get. I had the fish tacos which were tasty I just wish the jalapeño coleslaw was a little tangier/spicier/had more kick-- the fish was fried nicely though and it was the perfect amount of food. I'm pretty picky when it comes to guacamole but I loved theirs! Would definitely come back to hang out in patio next time-- I love that there were puppies everywhere!
(4)Andrea S.
Please find a better chef and this place will be a homerun! The ambiance overrides the food issues, but if they had a crappy location and no dog policy I would never come. The brunch deal is pretty crazy, but I noticed they changed the brunch menu recently and cheapened the food (maybe they realized it was too good of a deal). Dinner here leaves much to be desired...the ceasar salad with salmon was super blah. Sandwiches and burgers are the best bet to be satisfied. But...the atmosphere really can't be beat. Great spot for brunch with gal pals.
(4)Alex L.
Not only do they have a great selection of beers from all over...they also have delicious food. My personal favorite was the Salmon BLT with sweet potato fries. Absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly! I've also had the garlic pesto hummus as an appetizer, very tasteful. Their AZ burger was great too with a spicy poblano aioli, but be aware if you don't like spicy food, this isn't the burger for you. Everything I've gotten here so far I've been impressed with. Great and friendly staff + good food + good beer: 5 stars for me!
(5)Sam D.
One of the best places to go for good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Never disappointed in the service or selection offered on the menu. Definitely give it a try. Although, their known for their brewery the red or white sangrias...delicious.
(5)Matthew M.
The beer just keeps getting better and better. One of their newest brews is a red ale called Bock at the Moon. I highly recommend getting a pitcher of it and not sharing with anybody...because it's delicious...make them get their own pitcher! And it's only $6 on happy hour, you really can't beat that deal. As for food, check out the flatbreads. The Pisa is amazing as well as the Grilled Chicken Flat Prost!
(5)Luke E.
Our food took 50 minutes from the time we ordered it. The server was terrible and said "oh we had 2 big parties in front of you, sorry" I also watched him be even ruder to a table next to us that had a baby and a kid with them. They told us that they had waited even longer. It was my friends birthday and I Didn't want to make a scene but it was just so bad. The place was dirty, sticky and just plain needs some TLC. Also some finishing school for the servers to attempt like they actually care that you are here, smile and show general awareness for your experience. There are a lot of great places in this hood with higher standards and more care for the customer experience. If you mess up, own up to it and make it right so your customers will come back. Sorry OHSO..it all ends here.
(1)Dan M.
The interior is reminiscent of the queue inside the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland. The food is edible. Gordon Ramsay would only be mildly disappointed. Three stars.
(3)Judy L.
M and I came here for a Sunday brunch to get caught up with the latest and greatest. We opted to sit in the patio. It was a nice and warm day. The patio is doggy friendly!!! That is cool. I would love to bring my dogs, but I think I will eat the other (small) dogs for brunch. =) They have a great brunch menu but I opted for the Grilled Chicken Pie flatbread (it was calling my name) and a side of french fries. M ordered the biscuits & beer gravy for $10 includes your choice of a 10oz AZ beer. The flatbread was so good. Flavorful, light thin bread, and baked to perfection. M's biscuits and beer gravy was very good too. Why 4 stars? The service was good but slow.
(4)Aida R.
I bring all my dates here! LOL. You cant go wrong with amazing beers to woo the boys, and for us ladies, they have the best mimosas, sangrias, and cocktails! I love the Arcadia and the 48th St Fizz. Flatbread pizzas are amazing and you cant go wrong with the classic Burger & Cheese! The staff is amazing, very knowledgaeblw of all the beers and give great suggestions. But what I love the most is the back patio! Might be too hot in the summer, but for 9 months out of the year, it is the place to be! Bring your dog, your bike, and your date- for a night of great suds and grubs!
(5)Diane H.
Great beer, great food, great atmosphere! What more could you want? Oh, great service too :)
(5)Holly R.
I visited O.H.S.O for the first time on Sunday, meeting some friends for brunch. We sat outside on the patio. They have lots of umbrellas available so there is plenty of shade. Their brunch menu is not huge but they have a list of items all for $10 and it includes a beer or a mimosa so not a bad deal. I ordered the breakfast pizza which was a flatbread with eggs, cheese, chorizo and arugula. The portion was large - I ended up bringing half of it home with me. The mimosa was a good size too - it was served in a wine glass, not just a skimpy champagne flute. The breakfast pizza had a really great flavor and was a nice lighter breakfast, even with the chorizo - I didn't feel weighed down afterwards. I tried a bite of my friend's French toast, too. It was good but really sweet. I was glad I had the pizza. The wait staff was friendly but not super attentive. My friend had to ask three times to get a refill on her water. But other than that, everything was great and I would definitely go back.
(4)Sara M.
We came here the day after New Years for their brunch special and waited an hour for our food...and then food came out cold. I will not be back
(2)Kathy V.
This is a good local brewery to hang out and drink locally brewed beer. Good, food, great people, cozy atmosphere! They even allow dogs here too. You can also sign up to brew your own beer as well. Over all great place. I would definitely recommend
(5)Anthony N.
For some reason, I've been giving a lot of 3 stars to 4+ places on yelp and this one's another on the list. It's more a 3.5 for me but I'm rounding down for service. Stopped by for brunch and it was seat yourself. OK, that's fine...but it shouldn't take too long for someone to notice we're sitting without food menus or to be offered water at least. After our food came out, we weren't checked on until we were done eating. Tip: don't sit at the high-tops right behind the bar unless you want the bartenders on the other side to be screaming (inadvertently) into your ear. Prices ($10) are fine for brunch and include a mimosa or 10oz AZ beer. I think the food portions are smaller to compensate though, and I'd rather have more food without a drink if not in the mood for alcohol. Food matched the price...looked and tasted like it was precooked and scooped onto my plate a la Chipotle. It was not bad though. I'd come back with more people during happy hour to try more of their beer selections. Probably pass on food unless something looked really good as it passed by.
(3)Chris B.
I absolutely love this place. The food is great. The beer is great. The atmosphere is really cool too. Two thumbs way up! And they have a pet-friendly patio.
(5)David D.
We came in after a long week of work thirsty for a beer. Well we were lucky enough to sit next to Josh, one of the brew masters. Josh made us feel like kings sitting in our barstool thrones. He even went out back and brought us a sample of the prickly pair beer straight out of the barrel. It was truly a unique experience to try this beer especially when they went out to the dessert and picked the prickly pears themselves.
(5)Lottie M.
Awesome place. Great vibe. Enjoyed my company. Enjoy my food enjoyed the five Mary relaxing and comfortable.
(5)Foodie B.
It's my new favorite place in Arizona. I love the bicycle part decor and the super dog friendly patio. O.S.H.O. is awesome not just for the good food, but also they have dog treats and dog bowls for water. Now to the awesome food. Their Mac Del Mar is soooo good. Melty cheese and juicy shrimp and bacon is a fantastic combo, though the crab could have been chunkier. Their bbq burger is juicy with the best burger bun Ive had. The bun is fresh, fluffy, and tasty. Their other dishes I've tried are good too, but these two dishes are the most memorable. And of course the drinks are yummy. I'm not a big fan of beer, but their pumpkin and apple ciders are sweet and light.
(5)Tracy V.
Things I love: -The happy hour beer. $5 pitches of local beer is a spanking deal -The Thai hummus and ceviche, for a fresh snack -The cheese plate! Even this lactose-intolerant lady will steal a bite. -The valet, as parking is super limited Things I don't love so much: -the cocktails. Poor form on my part, who gets a cocktail at a brewery -the entrees. They taste like they're just menu filler/something to eat with beer. Stick to many small plates.
(4)Ron L.
Update: A week after my last visit described below, I decided to give OHSO a chance to fix things. Kathy The Incredible Bartender listened to my story, apologized and fixed the growler mistake. Kudos to her and OHSO for hiring her. This is more like the OHSO I'm used to. Original review: Have been going to OHSO for years, but the last couple visits were disappointments. Most recently, we sat outside in the front for the delightful February afternoon. It was 2ish, so the restaurant was busy, but not packed. The music on the front patio roared. The four of us had a selection of different beers and entrees. The entree portions were smaller than usual and just OK for taste. When the waiter brought two apple pies for dessert, he noticed our looks and said "They're kind of small, so I'll take care of one for you." Didn't happen -- both appeared on the bill. Worst of all, we ordered two growlers of Orange Blossom to take home which we later found to be something totally different. A weird experience which wasn't like the OHSO I used to know, but seemingly more typical of recent visits. I'll give it a pass for awhile and see if they straighten out.
(3)Dennis B.
This place is awesome....the food is very good and they have a wide variety of craft beers. It is a very friendly environment. .......the decor is very trendy.......the servers were very attentive and did a great job.......this place is also very dog friendly........if you want to go out and enjoy good food, spirits this is the place.......try it once and you'll be back.
(5)Matt W.
I love everything about this place, and frequent it often for many reasons. The wait staff is always in a good mood, and pays attention to you even if the place is packed. The food is original, different than the run of the mill bar, and the craft beers are on point. You can try many beverages without breaking the bank. For $1 you can sample the many local and foreign brews. On the weekend you can stop in for a $10 brunch which includes a drink. They have good bbq, great appetizers, and I haven't had anything I didn't really enjoy and that's a serious plus. For their brunch the flatbread with breakfast on top rocks my socks. I would suggest this to my friends and I'll see you there! :)
(5)Troy J.
This place was very impressive many different types of brews to try lots of seating a great view to the outside patio the food was incredible I tried the hamburgers they were delicious probably one of the best I've had in town. Animals are allowed as well they're very dog friendly you can have them on the patio. They even provide gourmet dog biscuits.
(5)Angela C.
I enjoy myself some good craft beer and really liked this place. If you can and enjoy stouts, I definitely recomment trying the OHSO stout, my boyfriend also REALLY liked their Imperial IPA. I also LOVED the ambiance at this place, very chill and laid back, there are bicycles decorations and pictures of doggy visitors all over the back patio (which, by the way is THE place to sit ). They have a changing beer menu and carry not only their own, but plenty of beers from other local breweries and some from not-so-local, like Japan! If you're in the area, or want to bring your dog with you to enjoy a brew, GO HERE. Seriously, great atmospher, great beer, nice staff.... need I say more?
(5)Shon Q.
When we arrived, I was a little leary because of the valet setup. You know, that "another" VIG feeling. But all was well. Did not eat, just met some friends and had beers on the patio. Location is great and the patio was comfy to hang out at. Hipster level - OK. Beer selection is excellent. They have the $1 and $2 tastes that make it kinda cool to try beers. The service was slow on the night we went. Did not seem like a lot going on, but I we had to wait a few times when we were parched. Cool interior and good mix of people. Music selection was good and started to sway to a personal preference of hair metal close to midnight. I want this place to be Better and succeed! Stay tuned, I will update when we eat. Prices are fair.
(3)Professor M.
I have been here 3 times so far. The food has been really tasty. This area has been waiting for a place like this as you can see from the crowded parking lot almost every night. They have a solid beer selection and the $1 tasters let you explore. Try the shrimp tacos! I'm looking forward to my next visit.
(4)Julie B.
I went to OHSO with a large group of friends and we were seated really quickly even though the place was packed. The ambiance is great. The only reason why I gave it 3 stars was because I've been twice and wasn't extremely impressed with the food. I'm a vegetarian and loved the fact that they have a veggie burger. The burger was good, not amazing. Another time I ordered some type of flat bread pizza which wasn't great. One of my friends had the pulled pork and he LOVED it.
(3)Suzzi S.
Wow! What excellent place. Definitely get a burger and go for the white chocolate ale. Loved it!! Plus they allow you to bring your dog to the back patio. Sweet.
(5)Elle x.
I have incredibly high hopes for this place! I was excited to try it for the first time last week and I was impressed considering it hasn't been open very long. My server was very patient with the number of questions I asked about the food and beer menus. She admitted she hadn't tried everything yet (which is better than people who give phony recommendations leaving you with something you don't like), but did make some great suggestions based on what she liked and offered to bring another server over whom she thought had tried some of the other menu items. The food was quickly served and was beyond delicious. I was actually pretty impressed since I was expecting it to be more "bar food" since that's what comes to mind when I hear "Brewery". But it was a high quality MEAL, not just appetizers. The owner was around and seemed to be involved in making sure the place was running smoothly. Besides being very satisfied with the meal, I really love the atmosphere. I can't wait for nicer weather to sit out on the patio. I like that every room is so different and is offering basically whatever you're looking for in atmosphere. After talking to the server about future plans for this place, I couldn't be more excited about how close this place is to my house. I expect that when these plans come into play (live bands, make your brew, etc.) start happening, I will be updating this to a 5 star rating.
(4)Brandy G.
Amazing food, great breakfast specials, delicious cocktails, adorable venue and the most fantastic service from Allissa. Dog friendly patio, comfortable seating very trendy. I love this place!
(5)Alan C.
Perfection. Excellent beer selection with lots of AZ beers. Great patio with a nice view of Camelback Mountain. Straightforward food with fresh, tasty ingredients. Brunch with a beer? My kind of people. Everytime I go, I like it even more.
(5)Kenton M.
Anyone who knows me or is a FB friend knows I love this place. So when I order the shrimp tacos and I find the shrimp is scarcely cooked and send it back please don't come back and tell me the chef says I am wrong. A petty battle of egos knows no place in a restaurant. Okay, I'm finished. See you soon.
(4)Ryan B.
Food is fantastic, my friends and I have been here many times and we have never had a bad experience. The new back patio is great, service always good. Good overall vibe there..
(5)Kelly S.
I love this place, they offer great local beer and the food is excellent! The Mule is one of the best drinks I have had ever, it is made with fresh made ginger beer and it is awesome. One of my favorite new places to hang out.
(5)Art R.
I'd love to give this place more stars just based on the local beer selection and decent beer prices however the food leaves much to be desired and is way overpriced. Ordered a burger and honestly I think I would have enjoyed a Mickey D's Big Mac just as much and $9 cheaper. We also split a hummus and a cheese plate. The cheese plate was good but again overpriced and the hummus was pretty much inedible. Tasted more like unflavored bean dip than hummus. The decor and patio are major improvements over the former establishment. Service was good and friendly. Hope they improve the menu and food pricing.
(3)Megan P.
OHSO is a great neighborhood bar and eatery. I'm not even really sure why they have a full bar, because anyone who likes beer can always find some awesome craft beers on tap here. The beer brunch is a great deal; $10 gets you a filling meal and a 10 oz AZ craft beer. Their green chili dip and hummus are great appetizers - both come with yucca chips and those are amazeballs! The grilled cheese and hot pastrami are my two favorite meals there. The Sunday BBQ on the patio is a crazy amount of great BBQ food. It's endless, but I have no idea who can get a second helping. I still have yet to try their late night menu or bloody marys, both of which look promising. The service is hit or miss...everyone is always very nice, just not always prompt. Which is ok, because usually when we go it's to hang out for a while and try a few new beers on tap in addition to a meal. Their patio is great, and is dog friendly which is always a good thing. They have homemade doggie treats also, which are a big hit with the pups. Thanks for being a great local spot!!

Went here on a Saturday for brunch with the hubby. Service was great, food was good. We will be back

If you're a beer fan, run - don't walk to O.H.S.O. (Full name = O.H.S.O. Eatery + Nano Brewery) I've never seen so many craft beers and such a large representation of small and local breweries. This place has all the ingredients of a great casual neighborhood hang out. Perfect kind of place to ride your bike to - location is very North East Phoenix in the Arcadia neighborhood. The ambiance - It felt to me a little bit like being at a friend's house. Inside - very comfortable - not stuffy at all. Outside patio seating is really welcoming. Love seeing the orange umbrellas on the patio facing Indian School Rd. - It just looks like HAPPY! While were there we saw all ages, even some little kids with mommies having a 'girls' lunch'. Plenty of variety on the menu - Items look really good and interesting spin on casual with a twist - from the familiar burgers - Yummy with Gouda and bacon - house-made tomato soup to these cute little corn cake sandwiches. Lots of smaller appetizer items to snack on. The proprietor - Jon - even came over and introduced himself. I'd say this would be a great place to meet up with some friends, and try a few new brews, watch a game, with a very decent accompaniment of tasty small plates or bigger meals.
(4)Kimberly S.
This is my new favorite place by far. The food is outstanding! I have now tried about four things on the menu and I loved them all! The patio is the best place to sit because they have fans, huge tvs, outside bar and best of all, dogs are welcome!! The white sangria is delicious as well as the huge selection of small brewery beers. Overall, this place meets all my qualifications for a great night, excellent food, drink, service, and all the fluffy dogs you can pet! :)
(5)Ashley P.
At a friend's recommendation, I went here with my husband and another couple for dinner. I am glad I took that recommendation. It was surprisingly slow for a Saturday night. We sat on the back patio that had misters and cool fans that were cleverly place in the wheels of bicycles. Our first server was phenomenal, I wish we had him the whole time. We got the cheese platter which was huge and delicious and by far the best I have had anywhere for a great price. 4 of us split it, and honestly, I didn't even need to order dinner because it filled me up. But, I did order the romaine salad which was fantastic. I tried my husband's brisket sandwich and the sauce was to die for. My friend had the cheeseburger which she said was only okay, but that was on the expectation that it would be fantastic because the cheese platter was so good. The beer was decent; my husband who is a brewer actually was not that impressed. But overall I thought the food was wonderful and I would definitely go back.
(4)Mary S.
Tonight was our first time here. Thank goodness they have complimentary valet parking! It is big and a bit noisy. But the food ....... oh my goodness! I had an amazing brisket sandwich, my husband and my friends husband had cheese burgers. And my other friend has a sweet chili burger. They all loved their food too. I want to go back and have the shrimp tacos Can't wait!
(4)Ken L.
Finally. Phoenix welcomes one of the greatest neighborhood gathering place of all time. Thank you Stuart, Justin, Cale, Adam and the rest of the A-Team crew for making this night and every night a great time with friends, great food and great beers.
(5)Ben H.
Great hangout place! Best of all are the 3 oz beer samplers for $1 - $2 each. Fun time trying all the beers. Cant wait to go back!
(4)Lisa M.
This place is awesome! Great happy hour, great brunch Sat & Sun, great neighborhood spot all around and the patio is dog friendly! Food is always delicious and some of the best beer selections in town (they have some crazy amount of offerings on tap). I hosted a party here on their front patio, great space! The catering menu's are a great option for groups and everything is just as delicious as the regular menu items. The staff was amazing in the planning process making a point to sit down with me one-on-one to put a menu together and see that my vision was carried out. For this particular event, I had some specific requests and without flinching an eye, was taken care of. On the day of the party, the room was set and the service was nothing short of fabulous. Love this place! OHSO staff=Rockstars!
(5)Megan W.
Cool vibe and dog friendly. Service was super slow and douchey at the bar. The server though, once we finally sat (at a table that was empty the entire time we were standing at the bar) got us a free round because he was from Ohio too. Go Bucks!
(4)Jim S.
Where else can you arrive by any known mode of two wheeled transportation, walk straight up to the bartender on the very cool deck and ask to borrow a bike lock? That's right they have bike locks plenty of bike racks and tools that you can use if you are in need of a quick repair or tune up. It is also incredibly four legged canine friendly. I always meet a cute or fun dog and owner when I go there. Best bike friendly place in Phoenix!! The food is good. Bar service on the deck is just OK if you sit at the bar because the bartenders are getting killed with the service bar which they run as well. The place more than makes up for that in atmosphere with the bikes and dogs. Great beers and amazing beef jerky are nice treats here. They also have free dog treats!!
(4)Sandy N.
I love this place. Not only is it a great place to get a quality craft beer, but you can bring your pooch along to socialize as well. My friend & I came here to catch up since I had been out of the area for a couple of months. We each brought our dogs with us. They had as much fun getting to know the dog at the table next to us as we did catching up. I had the veggie burger and my friend had the Ahi salad. They were both very tasty.

On my most recent visit to O.H.S.O., they hit the ball out of the park (so to speak) so I have to give them five stars. I decided to check out this place for Sunday brunch and was thrilled with the quality of the food and service, the fun and lively atmosphere, and, of course, the great selection of beer! This is the kind of place you can proudly show off to people from out of town who are just visiting Phoenix. Every time I try a new place for a late breakfast/brunch on the weekends, I make a point to sample the biscuits and gravy. If the kitchen doesn't have an appreciation for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs standard like biscuits and gravy, it will be evident. And I was not disappointed in O.H.S.O.'s wonderful take on this breakfast classic... biscuits were fresh and soft, the white sausage gravy was creamy and hearty (with a nice spicy kick). And I was thrilled they offer a half-portion side order for just $4. My buddy and I agreed that the "Beer Brunch" was the way to go, and we were super-pleased with our meals. I had the breakfast burrito (the perfect portion size, stuffed with green chile pork carnitas, eggs, cheese, potato) and my buddy had the churrasco steak and egg dish. Both dishes came with a 10-oz. AZ draft beer of our choice for $10, which we agreed was a great value! I originally tried O.H.S.O. shortly after they took over this location from the Black Forest Mill. I was impressed with the beer selection (especially since they featured a hometown favorite... Rubicon's Monkey Knife Fight from Sacramento), but I was not initially impressed with the food. It has been years since my first visit, and the improvement is palpable. They are brewing their own beer, and I am happy to report that they are firing on all cylinders. The food is great, and the laid-back atmosphere and friendly beer-buzz vibe is undeniable (especially if you check out the back patio). The complimentary valet service may put you off at first, but it is not an attempt at being pretentious. This place is becoming so popular that it is really the best way for them to manage their available space for parking. I was here on a weekend night for a friend's going-away party in the front-most room, and the entire place was frenzied, fun, and just jumpin'! This is now one of my number one fun dining destinations--and a valuable addition to the Phoenix craft beer scene.
(5)Jenny V.
Eh. I really wanted to like it more. Our bartender wasn't very attentive and it was not busy. 2 of the beers on the menu we ordered they were out of, which is mildly annoying. Green Chile Dip was good. The O.H.S.O. Hoppy is delicious. I'll give it another try if I'm in the neighborhood. Maybe the patio next time.
(3)Tianna L.
This place is so chill. You can bring your pups with you too! You just walk around the main dining room to the "backyard" where they have dog bowls and treats for you to use. Oh yeah and they have good food and drinks for the humans too. ;)
(5)Mark W.
What a fantastic little gem this place is! The atmosphere is very laid back, the employees are fun loving people, the ambiance is wonderful. I love the simple wood designs and the casual decorations. No formalities needed, just come on down and have a seat. The first and most important thing is the beer. You won't see any crap beer on the menu-- these are people who embody and respect the craft culture. In addition to a few of their own house brews they carry a wide range of Arizona brewed selections from names you'll likely recognize. They also have an impressive selection of pumpkin beers, if you're into that sort of thing. I guess now is the season. it's a tough call as to where you'll want to sit but at night there is no where I'd rather be than in the lovely patio, which surrounds a classically designed center bar with plenty of screens for the sports minded among us. It's basketball season now and I can't wait to take advantage of that here. I suggest you try this place out on a weeknight first, as there was absolutely no wait and the service was prompt. I can't stress enough just how cool everyone who works here seems to be-- yet another effect of the craft culture I suppose. The food is also damn good. It's mostly hearty, burger based fare-- the kind of stuff that goes oh so well with a fine brewed beverage. The shoestring fries are good munching. My brisket sandwich was pretty loaded and more than adequate to satisfy my immense hunger. They do have a selection of tacos and veggie burgers for your lighter eaters. The prices are pretty reasonable and hardly outside of the range of your average craft beer drinker. It's gonna be a good season of sports with a place like this to retreat to.

I had the beginning festivities of my 21st birthday party at OHSO. We had a dinner and were able to reserve tables for my group. They were very easy to work with and even let us set out decorations and bring our own cake!! Some places don't let you bring outside food in - so it was so great that they let us bring our own cake because it was custom made and beautiful. OHSO has the best mojitos I have ever had. They have a great atmosphere outside in the back which is where we were. The food is awesome. I would definitely make it a regular spot to eat and drink

What a fabulously fun patio! We had such a great time drinking, eating, and enjoying the people watching (a GOAT! Someone seriously brought their pet goat.), that it was hard to leave. We shared the Green Chili Pork Tacos and I am OBSESSED with them. Absolutely to die for. They came with a slaw that really complemented the spice and gave them nice texture. We also had the Chicken BBQ flatbread pizza. Tasty, but the tacos remained the star of the meal. The hummus was another good choice that our friends shared with us. I had a couple of the 48th Street Fizz cocktails - they were strong and absolutely delicious. This is a great place to hang out with friends and grab a bite to eat that is above your typical bar food fare. It can be a bit of a scene, but that is part of the fun when it comes to people-watching, right?!

I love everything about this place, and frequent it often for many reasons. The wait staff is always in a good mood, and pays attention to you even if the place is packed. The food is original, different than the run of the mill bar, and the craft beers are on point. You can try many beverages without breaking the bank. For $1 you can sample the many local and foreign brews. On the weekend you can stop in for a $10 brunch which includes a drink. They have good bbq, great appetizers, and I haven't had anything I didn't really enjoy and that's a serious plus. For their brunch the flatbread with breakfast on top rocks my socks. I would suggest this to my friends and I'll see you there! :)

This place was very impressive many different types of brews to try lots of seating a great view to the outside patio the food was incredible I tried the hamburgers they were delicious probably one of the best I've had in town. Animals are allowed as well they're very dog friendly you can have them on the patio. They even provide gourmet dog biscuits.
(5)Angela C.
I enjoy myself some good craft beer and really liked this place. If you can and enjoy stouts, I definitely recomment trying the OHSO stout, my boyfriend also REALLY liked their Imperial IPA. I also LOVED the ambiance at this place, very chill and laid back, there are bicycles decorations and pictures of doggy visitors all over the back patio (which, by the way is THE place to sit ). They have a changing beer menu and carry not only their own, but plenty of beers from other local breweries and some from not-so-local, like Japan! If you're in the area, or want to bring your dog with you to enjoy a brew, GO HERE. Seriously, great atmospher, great beer, nice staff.... need I say more?
(5)Tracy V.
Things I love: -The happy hour beer. $5 pitches of local beer is a spanking deal -The Thai hummus and ceviche, for a fresh snack -The cheese plate! Even this lactose-intolerant lady will steal a bite. -The valet, as parking is super limited Things I don't love so much: -the cocktails. Poor form on my part, who gets a cocktail at a brewery -the entrees. They taste like they're just menu filler/something to eat with beer. Stick to many small plates.
(4)Sara M.
We came here the day after New Years for their brunch special and waited an hour for our food...and then food came out cold. I will not be back
(2)Kathy V.
This is a good local brewery to hang out and drink locally brewed beer. Good, food, great people, cozy atmosphere! They even allow dogs here too. You can also sign up to brew your own beer as well. Over all great place. I would definitely recommend
(5)Sam S.
We've been here twice in the last few months and both experiences were fabulous! The first was a happy hour for our friend who brewed a house beer with the brewery. This was very unique to try his beer and we sat on the patio in a large group. We only tried the green chili dip which was delicious. I loved the local beer selection especially the Papago orange blossom and four peaks hefe!!! We returned a week ago for a birthday dinner and sat inside. It was a lot more mellow and quiet inside. This time I ordered the pork tacos which were very good and seemed homemade. It comes with a nice bowl if pork with a slaw, a bowl of yummy salsa, 5 tortillas, a dish of guac! Amazing understated friendly service both times. You can tell they like eating at thier restaurant!
(5)Ka M.
We don't live in Phoenix so relied on word-of-mouth recommendation for a place to eat while visiting. Came out tonight and had a Burger And Cheese while my partner had the Hot Pastrami. We both declared our choices to be absolutely fabulous! The next time we're in Phoenix, we'll be back here!!
(5)Krista N.
OHSO is another of our favorites. I love that we can walk or ride to them in about 10 minutes. We came last year for the first time and loved it and go back quite often and every time it gets better and better - whether it be the food or the decor. We went for the brunch for the first time the other day and WOW. Best bloody mary I have ever had. How can you go wrong with a giant piece of beef jerky to mix it with! The monster mimosa's are just that, monster and delicious. The biscuits and gravy are the best I have had since I moved to AZ. I tried everyone elses food and it was awesome as well but they were all into my biscuits. My favorite dinner dish is the gnocchi but literally everything on the menu is awesome. We will keep coming to this place as long as its open and it seems they have no desire to slow down.
(5)Christopher N.
more like a 3.5 stars and strictly a beer review, though beer is my food. If I were to convert a beer hater to the beer world, I would bring them here. It's clean cut, modern with a sweet and not too hoppy tap list. The list is pretty impressive, half from Arizona and the rest are seasonal beers from known breweries. Taster's a $1, $2 for the rare beers. If you're a new beer convert: Try the White Chocolate Ale, Orange Blossom and OHSO Raspberry Wheat. For you beer geeks you don't need my advice, though the White Chocolate was my favorite on tap. Surprisingly wheaty, with milk chocolate body and a clean crisp finish. My major complaint here is that it just doesn't feel like an authentic beer bar, it looks the part, but its lacks something. Quoting the bartender, "we keep what sells." Not exactly a mood lifter. I know it's a business, but I've come to expect more from my bartenders. And it's not the best place to spark up a beer chat with your neighbor. I'll be back for happy hour, it's tough to beat $5 for local beer, convenience and some good TVs . A note of caution to prevent awkward moments. Before settling in, check the bar in case you run into your pops.
(3)Christian B.
First let me say that I have been to OHSO several times and genuinely enjoy this place. As of late I am not overly impressed with some places in the neighborhood. They seem too uppity and lose their appeal after the first beer. The first thing that hits me is the valet at the front door. The parking lot is congested and very limited in parking already. Now you get to throw in taking away spots to a "complimentary valet" that is worthless. They park your car 30 yards from the front door when you could open up more parking for regular customers. I wasn't even going to use the valet and found them inappropriate, rude, and almost killed my experience before entering the place. Our bartender comped our food after hearing our complaint which was nice but no one should have to apologize for a crappy service that can easily be taken away...I thank you for seeing the problem and addressing your customers. For the bar itself, the beer is always good and the food is pretty good. The location is awesome and I will probably come again but I will take a look around and see what can accommodate a more laid back group.
(3)Brian D.
Great food and selection of Arizona microbrews. If you like microbrews this is a great place to go. They do not serve any mainstream beers so if you are looking for a bud light this is not the place to go, its a place for true beer lovers. The food was fantastic. I had the meat and potato pizza which I was hesitant of at first but the waiter recommended it and I loved it. My friend had the burger, it was very simple but the burger was juicy and delicious. Drinks can be a bit slow when the bar is packed but that is expected with a brand new place and I'm sure this will be fixed as everyone gets adjusted.
(5)Lynn M.
My first visit to O.H.S.O. wasn't a good experience. If I wasn't there with 7 other friends, it would have been a disaster. We waited after ordering our drinks, we waited after ordering our food (the ticket machine in the kitchen never printed out any orders..did the chef think maybe something was wrong??? Nope !) The wait staff was friendly, but never came around to tell us our food was "on the way" or the reason why we had to wait. I doubt I will ever return...oh, food wasn't 5 stars, maybe 3 stars like this visit.
(3)Cory S.
Very cool bar with very nice staff and servers. The beer selection is huge so there will always be some new beer to try every time you go. I only had a chance to have a burger for food, but if it is any indicator of the rest of the food they make, their food is delicious and a steal for the price. All in all I would say this is an outstanding bar whether you want to go and have a few drinks hanging out at the bar or enjoy a delicious dinner at any number of tables or some more private booths.
(5)Sarah W.
I love looking at the beer selection here honestly. Food on the other hand was not all too impressive. For the prices I expected more than mediocre and I definitely did not get that here. Such a disappointing first time b/c it really clouds my boyfriend, his friend and my judgement as far as wanting to return.
(3)Jennifer N.
I have enjoyed OHSO several times. Love the food and the drinks. Love that it's right off the canal and is bike and dog friendly. However, what I really want to review is their event planning. They are the only place in town who would work with me when planning an event for 50-80 people in which they did not require a deposit or that we spend a specific amount per hour, and did not require us to buy off a specific menu. They did separate checks for EVERYONE! The staff was friendly and attentive to work with before and during the event. Their staff followed up with me all the way up until the event. They allowed us to take over a substantial portion of their patio, they were friendly, had staff working specifically with our tables, and had super speedy service. I highly recommend them!!! Our party goers only had glowing reviews!! Based on this experience, I am happy to give them my business and recommend them to everyone!
(5)Val L.
No Coors light here!! Great beer and food....back patio is fun!
(5)Laura V.
Any place that has a bar for dog water bowls has to rock!
(4)Ryan B.
Great selection of beer and very friendly to cyclists! The food here is good as well ! Parking is a little tight but overall a great experience!
(4)Ryan B.
Warm beer mugs and warm beer...not a good combination if you are a brewery. Please get some frosted mugs in that place!
(2)George G.
A friend and I met here last night and had a great experience! The restaurant itself is very cool, the staff is great and they've got great beer and food! The complimentary valet is also a nice touch.
(5)Justin S.
I keep going to this place beause its close and its the best tap + atmosphere close. I'm excited about the back patio opening up. I with they had some good IPAs on tap especially with it starting to warm up. The AZ IPAs are hem-haw; I want some Colorado or North Cali IPAs, heck even some Oregon ones would be nice. Oh and how bout some happy hours specials on the menu. Could be a good idea to change that menu up a litttle too.
(3)W. W.
Be prepared to wait. Went on a weekday night. Wasnt too busy. We ordered and did not get our food until exactly one hour after placing it. We were then told our meal would be "taken care of" only to be told later by Stuart that this was not the case. As a dog lover, i wanted to like this place. the food was pretty good, but i cant recommend a place that requires an hour after placing an order, apologizes by promising to comp the meal and then changes course when the check comes. Too bad. Would have loved to have been regulars there. Nice patio; sub par service.
(2)Sean M.
OHSO Is my go to for a craft brew here in the valley. With a rotating beer list, friendly staff, and an awesome covered (and cool) patio, there's not too many others than can compare.
(5)Jessica L.
I didn't try the food here but the selection of beer is good. The service was a bit slow; but for the huge crowd they had the night I was there they performed about as well as they could. The bartenders were nice in both areas I sat in; both out back on the patio and also at the bar out front. It's a great place for large groups as there are plenty of sections to hang out in throughout the place.
(4)Kelly J.
Super dog friendly bar w/a kick ass patio that sits right on the canal backing up to Camelback...prime real estate for a business like this! They promote riding your bike to their bar and are happy to provide you with a bike lock! Haven't tried the food but heard good things. Saw a few plates when I was there and it's def does not look like your typical bar food!
(4)Susan C.
This has become a firm favorite - great indoor and outdoor space. The back patio is awesome when you bring your dog. The food never disappoints - bring your appetite - the portions are huge ! If you like beer, you can try the samples before you get your pint. I love the cheese plate - such a variety, and then the popcorn on the plate is a cool alternative to chips. It is all really filling and comes out beautifully presented. my partner likes the fish tacos they have. We have had their salads too. Whatever you have it is all good. Good food, good atmosphere - what more do you want !
(5)Brom L.
I thought food was good. I particularly liked being able to sit outside. Lots of seating. Just a bit loud on the night I was there but, despite the crowd, service was fast enough.
(4)Crystal C.
I love the atmosphere of this place and has a really cozy back patio. You can't go wrong with the 4 cheese flatbread pizza and they are always nice enough to throw on some pesto for me too. I like the beer and wine selection but the only thing I have found is they seems under staffed when I have been there. Other wise thumbs up.
(4)Sean B.
A word of advice - don't set inside. Stay by the bar area or in the front or back patio. The inside setting has zero insulation (i.e. Carpets or sound blocking material) Two people can barely hear each other YELL! I'm not kidding either... But I love the atmosphere there and the beer is really good. I just know where not to set....
(4)Anne S.
I would give this place zero if possible. The patio is amazing and it's seems like such an enjoyable place to visit. However I have been a handful of times and the service makes me cringe every single time. I hate to be harsh, but this is a reoccurring problem. Servers are rude and don't care. Last time I went my first server rolled her eyes when my friends and I ordered alcohol, demanded an ID then a second form from all of us... One of my friends only had her passport and the server made a severely snide comment about that. After the ID mishap she rudely stated she wasn't going to help us and pointed to a man saying "your his" then strutted away. We had to reorder our first round 10 minutes when he came around. The second server was not much better. If you want to spend money to be ignored and made to feel inferior, then by all means OHSO is your type of place.
(1)Kory L.
It was my first time at OHSO on Sunday around 3pm. They ran out of brisket the day before so I didn't go for their bottomless bbq special. I ordered the Hot Pastrami sandwich with fries. It was a good sandwich. Nice bun, toppings, and quality pastrami. But I was very disappointed with the fries. I think they use the same supplier as Burger King. My girlfriend and I shared a pitcher of mimosas, so unfortunately I didn't try one of their nanobrews. The bathroom could have use some attention on our visit. Otherwise it was a fun and relaxed ambience, and a upscale casual dining experience.
(4)Vanessa M.
Loved everything now about this place. From the casual decorations to the super friendly (and obviously dog lover) staff. When you walk through the backyard they have homemade dog treats and water bowls for all the furry pets. I came in while I was dog sitting along with my own dog and decided to try a dog friendly restaurant and it was a great experience. My dogs loved it also! I got the cobbler (turkey burger) it was amazing! Idk what kind of bread they used but it was buttery and so soft I had to eat all of it!
(5)Derrick B.
Great Place. Seat yourself. Quick service. Friendly staff. I'm a vegetarian and there were several options. There was a full brewery, and a full bar with great selection of wine as well as signature cocktails. I had the veggie burger. Flavorful and very hearty. It was a bit spicy. But I like spicy. The flourless chocolate was amazing and worth going just for that! This is a great place to hangout with friends, bring a date or a pet :-)
(4)Brian L.
In Arizona for the Super Bowl and stopped here on a Saturday night to eat. They have a really solid beer selection, some great local choices. I was able to sample numerous beers that I can't get in Florida. The atmosphere is a little hipster for my tastes, but they are soooo dog friendly that I fell in love with the joint. They even have treats to take away for your dogs at home, for free! I had the house made veggie burger, and it was really moist and tasty. I tried two of my friends' beef burgers and was also impressed. It's worth the visit if your in town.
(5)Alan J V.
I came here with a friend for my Birthday Lunch. I was so excited to finally get here after the crappy German joint closed down. I'd only heard good things about it and they are true. They have a wonderful selection of beer and a very interesting menu. Since we made it for brunch we went with it. We started with the Crab Dip. The only place I've been to that brought out enough chips for the dip. It was delicious. I could have eaten 2 serving myself and readily regretted it. It is very salty. But very good if you can handle it. We both went with the Carnitas and Egg bowl with the not so Crispy Fires. I usually only like Teriyaki Bowls. The mixture of some many other ingredients is usually a turn off. This in turn was very good.I got the pico on the side, so it wouldn't make the fries soggy. No worries, the Carnitas had so much liquid that the pico wouldn't have mattered. Yes the Carnitas were very good with green chilli's mixed into it but my fries were completely soggy. It's also high in Salt/Sodium. With the wonderful variety I'm sure there are other dishes with a healthier sodium content. We just picked the 2 items that we could feel had an immediate effect on both of our blood pressures before we were gone 15 minutes. Burger on the next visit. You'll love the beer menu. Lot's of different offerings for your palate. Even an 11%er on the menu. Being my Birthday we had the Strawberry/Rhubarb Pie. It was wonderful. Fresh, flavorful and sweet to make my birthday special. I will be back here. So many healthier things to try along with the beer. And if nothing sounds good on the menu when I get there, I will still be eating the Pie.
(4)Jen M.
After receiving a generous gift card from the manager, my boyfriend and I were able to have two enjoyable date nights here. We had previously experienced not so stellar service but I can say whole-heartedly that it was just a one-time mistake. Our return visits to Ohso have all been wonderful and delicious! Thank you for being such a dog friendly establishment too! My dog loves it here!
(4)Christopher F.
Great Service. Waiters are always attentive and welcoming. Food is great for the value. Great Brunch Menu and soecials.
(5)Christopher R.
One of the few good places that allow dogs. The negative- the parking Is horrendous and the outdoor patio where dogs are allowed is completely full of pretentious a-holes who could sit anywhere in restaurant but chose to sit at the 6 tables dogs are allowed at and sip on their waters for 2 hours while half of the table are reserved for other larger parties. The positive- the food, the staff, and the beer selection are truly fantastic, but these terrible patrons sit there staring at you with your dog and and your 2 year old child as they continue to waist oxygen on this earth. And before you think I'm some 45 year old bitter woman, you should know that I'm 24 single dad how loves to try new places, but after trying this place 3 desperate times I'll never be going back again.
(2)Ryan B.
Food is fantastic, my friends and I have been here many times and we have never had a bad experience. The new back patio is great, service always good. Good overall vibe there..
(5)Kelly S.
I love this place, they offer great local beer and the food is excellent! The Mule is one of the best drinks I have had ever, it is made with fresh made ginger beer and it is awesome. One of my favorite new places to hang out.
(5)Art R.
I'd love to give this place more stars just based on the local beer selection and decent beer prices however the food leaves much to be desired and is way overpriced. Ordered a burger and honestly I think I would have enjoyed a Mickey D's Big Mac just as much and $9 cheaper. We also split a hummus and a cheese plate. The cheese plate was good but again overpriced and the hummus was pretty much inedible. Tasted more like unflavored bean dip than hummus. The decor and patio are major improvements over the former establishment. Service was good and friendly. Hope they improve the menu and food pricing.
(3)Megan P.
OHSO is a great neighborhood bar and eatery. I'm not even really sure why they have a full bar, because anyone who likes beer can always find some awesome craft beers on tap here. The beer brunch is a great deal; $10 gets you a filling meal and a 10 oz AZ craft beer. Their green chili dip and hummus are great appetizers - both come with yucca chips and those are amazeballs! The grilled cheese and hot pastrami are my two favorite meals there. The Sunday BBQ on the patio is a crazy amount of great BBQ food. It's endless, but I have no idea who can get a second helping. I still have yet to try their late night menu or bloody marys, both of which look promising. The service is hit or miss...everyone is always very nice, just not always prompt. Which is ok, because usually when we go it's to hang out for a while and try a few new beers on tap in addition to a meal. Their patio is great, and is dog friendly which is always a good thing. They have homemade doggie treats also, which are a big hit with the pups. Thanks for being a great local spot!!
(5)Niko T.
Went here on a Saturday for brunch with the hubby. Service was great, food was good. We will be back
(4)Ricardo G.
A friend brought me here when I was visiting during the NASCAR races at PRI. I liked the outdoor seating area, the doggie bar, and all the cool bikes there. The first day I was there, I drank like it was going out of style and needless to say woke up with a bad hangover. The next day I went back and wanted to do nothing with their special brewed beer. Unfortunately, I went on a brewfest weekend so there wasn't any other beer to drink.
(4)Christopher H.
Nice causal open bar to enjoy a beer with your friends, family, partner, or pet. The food is also good. Parking somewhat sucks If you don't want valet parking.
(4)Chris C.
If you're a beer fan, run - don't walk to O.H.S.O. (Full name = O.H.S.O. Eatery + Nano Brewery) I've never seen so many craft beers and such a large representation of small and local breweries. This place has all the ingredients of a great casual neighborhood hang out. Perfect kind of place to ride your bike to - location is very North East Phoenix in the Arcadia neighborhood. The ambiance - It felt to me a little bit like being at a friend's house. Inside - very comfortable - not stuffy at all. Outside patio seating is really welcoming. Love seeing the orange umbrellas on the patio facing Indian School Rd. - It just looks like HAPPY! While were there we saw all ages, even some little kids with mommies having a 'girls' lunch'. Plenty of variety on the menu - Items look really good and interesting spin on casual with a twist - from the familiar burgers - Yummy with Gouda and bacon - house-made tomato soup to these cute little corn cake sandwiches. Lots of smaller appetizer items to snack on. The proprietor - Jon - even came over and introduced himself. I'd say this would be a great place to meet up with some friends, and try a few new brews, watch a game, with a very decent accompaniment of tasty small plates or bigger meals.
(4)John A.
This place has the best patio in Phoenix. The view is spectacular and the beer selection is awesome. They are constantly updating the selection so it is always different. I love being able to take my dogs with me, or stop after a bike ride on the canal. The servers are great really they can get the large crowds served in good time, some other places you could die of thirst when they get busy. I think their menu is the weak part, a few dishes are excellent like the pastrami and short ribs. They are lacking on good salads their choices are not as imaginative as their beer menu. If they upgrade the menu a little this becomes an even better place.
(4)Josh M.
I've been to OHSO many times before and normally just go to drink on their awesome patio out back. Today I went for lunch with a work friend. We both ordered the same thing actually. The green chile pulled pork sandwich with fries. The spice of the green chile was perfect. Not overwhelming as some green chile can be. The slaw made a perfect combo on the sandwich and the bun was so soft and tasted like it was made this morning. Their fries are perfectly crispy with great seasoning. No ketchup needed with these fries. I sat at the bar and was taken care of quite nicely by one of the two bartenders they had on staff. Love this place and will be back for sure!
(5)Kat K.
Under very rare circumstances I visit Phoenix. However, if the weather isn't too unbearable, I thoroughly enjoy eating and drinking on the patio. I have been incredibly blessed continually having Athena as my server. Not only is she well versed in the food and drink items, she explains the dishes with such enthusiastic detail that my mouth is fervently awaiting the first bite. Luckily, the service is quite quick, even on a busy night. Dogs are allowed on the patio making the experience even more catered to my favorite things; cute animals, good food and drinks.
(5)Jason C.
My wife and I ate here last night, and it was terrific. Ordered the Arizona burger, pink, it was delicious. And the sweet potato fries were perfect. My wife ordered the Brisket sandwich, and let me tell you, it convinced me to come back for the all you can eat BBQ they have on Sundays. The beer selection is top notch with around 12 from local sources. Inside is huge, and they have nice outside seating as well. You can tell by how crowded it was that its a favorite with a lot of people.
(5)Stacy F.
Stopped by this place over this past weekend for lunch. Parking is not ideal - you will pretty much have to valet park to eat here, which we don't love being forced to do. The place itself is a good size on the inside and has a back patio that seems to be a big hit with the locals. We had just visited an outdoor Oktoberfest event and decided to enjoy the A/C instead. The bike theme of the decor can be seen throughout the restaurant and it's a fun and whimsical idea incorporating a close by bike trail. The menu has a variety of options from flatbreads to burgers. I had the BBQ bacon burger and he had the pulled pork sandwich. Both were prepared well and tasted good! Our friend had one of the flatbread (I don't remember the exact one - my apologies) but I remember he said it was very good. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the meal and had a great sense of humor. Overall: A We will be back to enjoy that patio!
(4)CJ M.
Service here is amazing - especially Stewart and Pete. These bartenders rock. The beers are also amazing. Ask for recommendations for drinks to beer and these guys will help. Food also seems pretty good, but the beers!!! And the service!!! Also - Go Patriots!!! Thanks for the hospitality boys!
(5)Todd C.
OHSO has always been a favorite of mine for happy hours, and I'm so glad I hit the chance to experience Brunch! Everything on the Brunch menu is $10, and includes a beer or mimosa! And the food is fantastic! I had the breakfast wrap, which came with homefries dressed with a cilantro aioli, which were delicious, and a side cup with a few mixed berries. Service was fantastic -Sam was great! I will be coming back for brunch soon, and I highly recommend OHSO!
(5)Scott D.
Great experience. We came after 10pm to enjoy drink and food specials. We sampled various craft beers from local sources and they were awsome! The bar appetizers were small, but perfect when you are there to drink. The atmosphere is lively outside and cozy inside. Service was friendly, knowledgable, and attentive. This is a great hangout with friends. If you enjoy beer, this place is for you.
(5)Don Y.
This place is great. Decent food, great beer, great service. They let you bring your dog, which I love. The down side is their limited parking. But, they have valet parking, so they are trying to help mitigate that issue.
(4)Sam L.
I've been to this location a few times. All for brunch, though, so my experiences are based on their breakfast menu, not regular. The first time I went was for brunch on a Saturday. I got the carnitas and it came with a 10oz beer. I got Papago Orange Blossom and it was warm. Flat and warm like the keg is sitting outside. The carnitas were flavorful, really good and the eggs weren't overcooked like how so many people serve scrambled. I enjoyed the way it was plated, and presentation was clean. I came back again for a Sunday brunch a few weeks later and ordered the Belgian Waffle. It was good, but not at all amazing. I ordered everything on the side to be able to try the waffle alone, and it was kind of bland. My berries were absolutely dead, like they were sitting out in the hot kitchen all throughout brunch. This time my beer was not warm, but hot. I left the full beer behind, as did the people I was with. I don't understand how a brewery can serve hot beer. The third time I went was for Father's day brunch. They weren't that busy surprising and I arrived early and got a table before the rest of my party. Ordered the biscuits and gravy and it came out cold. Sent it back and got another order. Hot gravy, cold biscuits. The biscuits were griddled, too, and you could see the marks on it. So they marked and toasted them ahead of service and them just serve them with hot gravy. Well cold biscuits are gross, and dense so hot gravy doesn't really warm them up. I ended up not eating it, and having lunch at a new old town restaurant. The food comes up quickly but it seems like every time I go in it gets worse and worse. I love the atmosphere here, but with mediocre food and hot beer I don't really have a reason to go back.

OHSO has really gotten its shit together! I love their crafty cocktails, my SO loves the endless beer list, and the food is fantastic. In the meantime, it's also become a McDonaldland playhouse for bratty Arcadia spawn. The last three times we've gone, there have been screaming (I mean, getting-beheaded-screaming) children and kids running loose all over the place, darting between tables like it's their personal playground. (Always a wise decision in the presence of drinking adults and servers carrying breakable and/or hot things.) Throw this on top of the fact that the place is intrinsically extremely loud, and you have a totally obnoxious experience. Next time we're craving the veggie burger and pork sandwich, it's takeout time.

This is my favorite watering hole in the Phoenix area. I have been going to OHSO for the past 7 months and every time has been a great experience. All the staff is friendly and the food/beer selection is amazing. The back patio is my favorite part, because of all the furry customers (dogs). I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a quick beer, nice date, family dinner or just getting together with friends.
(5)Anna T.
5 stars every time. Love the happy hour. If my dog could speak, he would probably beg me to take him to the OHSO back patio more often. Thanks for being so uber dog friendly OHSO! The burgers here are not to be missed and grab a pitcher of beer, it usually makes more sense financially and you're going to want to hang out for a while.

How have I not written a review for these guys yet?? I've been here mannny times and have not had a bad experience. The food is good and the beer selection is plentiful. I've had brunch a few times - all good. Brunch items are $10 and come with a mimosa or local beer, which is the best way cure what ails you! They also do a Sunday BBQ from 3-7 every week and that is delicious! Its $15 and you get 3 meats (mix and match, chicken quarter, pork ribs and brisket), coleslaw, potato salad and 2 pcs cornbread. Its awesome! OHSO's late night menu is pretty good too with simple bar foods that satisfy those drunk hunger cravings. Oh, and my review wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention that their bloody mary is one of my faves. Can you guys please offer that with your brunch?? Brunch n bloody? I'll pay a couple bucks upcharge... Please?

I am a horrible picky eater which is my fault! I use to go in all the time to eat there chicken pesto sandwich. It was my birthday and my friends asked where I wanted to go and I picked there so I can have my favorite sandwich. It was very disappointing to find out they no longer made it! On my birthday :( so sad we had to leave.
(1)Seann C.
I am sorry to say that OHSO was only so-so. We came here because it had great reviews and we wanted to check it out. I am definitely impressed with the selection of beers, especially because I am a big craft brew person. They also sell and refill growlers which is nice. The staff was very friendly and I like that they have a dog-friendly patio (always a plus). The food was a disappointment though. I had the brisket sandwich with tomato soup and my girlfriend had the prosciutto flat-bread pizza. Now, I have had some good brisket in my day so I was excited for a good sandwich. I was surprised to see that it was pulled/shredded and drowned in sauce. The sauce wasn't bad but I could not taste the meat itself. Not sure if they were trying to cover something up or what but less is more when it comes to sauce. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The tomato soup was okay, but tasted a little thin like something was missing. The pizza had good points and bad points. The flavor profile was pretty decent, but I am not sure I would call the meat on the pizza prosciutto. If it was, it is not anything like I have tasted before (my girlfriend and I are big fans of good prosciutto). This was but very thick and tasted like a better version of Canadian bacon. Overall, not bad but not amazing either. Our waiter was great and made some good suggestions for beer based on what I was looking for. So now for the big question...will we be back? Yes, but only to grab drinks before heading elsewhere or if we have our dogs and want to chill for a couple brews. Other than that, I don't know if I will order anything to eat unless I know that they have improved the menu.
(3)Lisa S.
Although the staff is friendly, and the interior looked promising, as did the crowd, this brewery could do with a decent Chef to create tastier food. The micro-brews were so-so. Four Peaks wins by miles and miles.
(2)Paige S.
After my original Yelp review, I was contacted by the manager who asked for feedback about my previous (not so great) experiences here. He personally invited me to come back and give OHSO a try again. So, I pulled together a happy hour with about 7 of my beer drinking buddies and off we went. The good: The service was better and our orders were all correct. +1 star from my last review. The "eh": I just do not understand why the service is so slow here. We came early (4:30) and stayed until about 7:00 or so on a Friday evening. It was actually pretty slow at first, then definitely more hopping, but not jam packed. It took forever to get beers and half the time the beers were warm when they got to us?? Weird. I appreciated the conversation with the manager, who also introduced himself in person when we returned. He's definitely making an effort and it sounds like they are interested in being a hangout for locals, which is cool. As I said before, I think the concept of OHSO is great, the beers are amazing, the food is delicious... it's my hope that the service will continue to improve. If it does, this could definitely become a favorite hang-out.

Try the hot pastrami, super good!!!
(5)Kyle M.
The closest thing to Oregon I have found in Arizona. This bar has a very Eugene/Austin/Bend feel to it that is hard to come by in the desert.
(5)Eric M.
This place is quickly becoming our favorite bar. Been here 3 times so far and every time I keep finding something awesome about this place that makes me love it more. 1. It's right off the canal and 48th bike trails so easy to get to from Old Town and Arcadia on bike. 2. They have a nice 'backyard style' patio that you can bike upto, they have locks you can borrow and they have awesome bike decor all around that is also functional (bike wheels that are actually fans, bike chains that make up some lighting). 3. It's a dog friendly patio (I counted 15 dogs last time!) 4. Great crowd and beers! Never ate inside yet but the patio is the place to be, awesome views of Camelback, great people and dog watching and on Sundays you can enjoy their all you can eat BBQ for $15 (and it's a lot of food!). They have a lot of my favorite beers on tap including an Orange Blossom beer by the folks at Papago Brewery. Pricing is great on draft beers and I felt like for the experience and delicious food we ate the pricing is spot on. Go check it out and send me a message on what you thought of it because I think there needs to be more places like this around Central Phoenix!
(5)Camilla L.
Saturday morning brunch in the back patio. Let's leave it at that. Love this place.
(5)Aly H.
Great ambiance, accommodating staff, great brunch/beer or mimosa deal, unique bloody mary (they make it with beef jerky!). I love coming here for brunch and sitting outside with all the doggies. Make a reservation, but if you don't, it's still worth the wait!
(5)Autum P.
Great beer, great patio(dog Friendly), great food! Local , local, local! Go there with some friends and check it out ! Beer is great ! Food is Delicious!
(5)Emily G.
I feel the need to be very responsible in writing an extremely honest and objective review (as much as you can be in a subjective field) since my server and I got into a discussion about how people use Yelp as a soapbox and not as a way to help other customers make informed decision. I'm rooting for you guys. Step 1: if you are currently at a restaurant and you are disliking your experience, don't tell the server that everything is great when he/she comes by to check on you. If you are going to bitch to the internet, have the consideration to tell them face to face. Alright, now that the rant is done, I can tell you all about OHSO. I came in on a Tuesday night with my desperate-to-hunt-for-chicks roommate. It was decently nice out so we sat at the very large patio bar which has overhead heaters and large screen TVs. Its actually really nice, the patio area is huge, has tons of bench/picnic tables, a large bar and most importantly, ITS DOG FRIENDLY! yay! Since we were feelin' fancy, we ordered their specialty cocktails. The Mule I ordered was done with their own creation of ginger beer and it was incredibly refreshing, packed with flavor and just super yummy. My roommie's old fashion was extremely strong but well executed. In terms of food, I was desperately seeking a healthy option even tho all the flatbreads and sammys were making my mouth water. I got the OHSO salad with steak, lettuce, tomato, green onion, sweet peppers, grapes, cheese and guacamole. I know, an incredibly weird mix on paper. When eaten all together (with the citrus vinaigrette), the flavors were great and the amount of steak was ridiculously big- i definitely felt like I was getting a bang for my buck.The grapes with cheese and steak were tasty but the whole guacamole at the bottom was kinda unnecessary. Not gross, just... strange. My friend got the OHSO burger with bacon and cheese. The bread was super soft and fresh and the meat and bacon were cooked just fine. My only issue with it is that the cheese resembled (both in taste and look) like a Kraft singles square (bleehhh) and the fries were super thin and a little over salted. Our server was super cool and we had an overall great experience there. It seems like a cool place to just hang out and have drinks, but luckily their menu is robust and tasty enough that staying for lunch/dinner/apps seems like a great time too. weee!
(4)Harper H.
3rd review - They have a vegan menu now! And the food, especially the veggie burger, is awesome. We'll be eating there more often. Love the beer flights too.
(5)Brian P.
Sometimes you wake up on a sunday and say to yourself, good lord I need something to help me through what i did last night. If thats the case you probably woke up right around 11 am, and your feeling a brunch coming on. When that's the case I've been fond of stopping in at O.H.S.O. They have a great brunch menu, a pet friendly patio, and the brunch includes a mimosa to take the edge off. And if your really feeling it stick around, they do a all you can eat barbecue that will fill you up with one plate easy. I recommend you grab a friend and split the sockeye salmon, and the breakfast wrap you'll end up with the best of two worlds.
(5)Brenda B.
The craft beer is delicious, the bar leads to open patio which is nice concept. the food was great and reasonably priced. Our bar service was friendly and very attentive.
(4)Chris D.
Food: Let me clarify, the food is inconsistent but the beer is always good. They have some really awesome dishes, but I get it once and it blows me away. I come in again and get it and it's "meh." I have been here quite a few times and a few of my favorites are the pastrami, the chorizo and potato flat bread, and skirt steak and fries. Really if I am being honest though, most of the time I am not going here for the food. I am going for the beer. 50 taps. Half from AZ half from elsewhere. Not only is it a good selection but they serve it in correct glassware and know how to pour beer. Huge pluses. Their signature cocktails are quite good as well. I really enjoyed the Arcadia (with bubbles) and lived the Mule, especially that it comes in a copper cup. Atmosphere: Good to great. The back patio is awesome great place to bring your dog and enjoy a few pints on a fall evening. They have misters in the summer and heaters in the winter. The indoor portion is nice as well. The tables are super interesting, the walls are decorated with bicycle parts and a giant chalkboard with their draft selections. Service: Decent. Nothing great nothing to write home about. A couple of times, gave a great huge tip because they were awesome. Never have felt like I shouldn't give on either. The biggest problem is parking. During the evening they have complimentary valet, but even then there have been a couple times I had to park in the neighborhood across the street and hoof it. No biggie though.
(3)Kelleen P.
Ok ohso I love you but seriously you charge a dollar to sample a beer?!? Just one beer?! Thats kinda ridiculous
(2)Jack S.
Kathy and kale are great! We sat outside and these two were attentive and made great drinks with a awesome personalities! Def worth a visit
(4)Claire W.
The beer selection is AMAZING, the food is great, and the free doggy treat is an awesome touch. I really appreciate that they have so many different Arizona brews to choose from, and they change them up frequently. The only downer is the lack of parking, but that only encourages you to ride your bike there :)
(5)S C.
This is the greatest place. Huge beer selection. Great patio and it allows dogs and even has baggies with home made doggie biscuits to take as you leave. Good food, casual place, central location. I highly recommend.
(5)Aileen C.
I got here before all of my friends and went to the bar to wait for them. The bartender was awesome and let me try a couple of beers before I finally picked one. This was really nice of him because 1- i'm not a fan of beer 2- i'm extremely picky. this is a difficult combination but he was really cool and probably would have let me try the whole selection if i asked. When my friends finally got here, we went to sit down and we ordered food. Everyone was really happy with their food. I tried the pizza and sweet potato fries and they were really good. Definitely a fun place to hang out. Minus one star for horrible parking. they have valet which is nice but i really would just like to park my own car.
(4)Krysti R.
Food great. Service great. Forced Valet sucks. Don't move everything in my car! I could park myself. Why is my drivers seat laid back to the back seat. Lame! Other than that though the brunch is great and love the dog friendly patio.
(3)Justin B.
Everything is great here... Grab a Microbrew or Bloody Mary... You cant thank me later!
(4)Angela B.
We went in on a Wednesday night happy hour- great pitchers of beer. I had the kale salad- and my boyfriend had the mac and slow roasted pork... such a great plate (not that I don't love salad... but really the mac was AMAZING). Our server, forgive me I think his name was Kyle- but he was so nice & made recommendations on our wine and beer. Thank you & can't wait to come watch some college football!! Go BLUUUUUUE!
(5)Stacy Z.
Great for a night out! We had an awesome time with the extensive beer and cocktails selection. Their happy hour prices are spectacular- a pitcher of beer ended up being just a dollar or two more than a glass. Our group of 12 or so had awesome service outside on the front patio. Everything we ordered food-wise was great too- artichoke dip, green chile dip, sandwiches, etc. My only real quibble here is with the parking. One, the lot is tiny compared to the number of people the place can hold, and parking is very tight. Secondly, there is optional valet parking, which is apparently free but that fact isn't well marked anywhere that we saw. The stop and go of the valet parking tends to get in the way of the non-valet parking and overall it seems like there is no real benefit to having the valet.
(3)Nancy L.
We were in the vicinity and hungry for lunch on Sat. with our dog, I found this place online as 'dog friendly', so we went for it. I'm so glad we did. I love this place.... the back patio is fun with all the dogs and I love their metal fence next to the canal (I want to ride my bike there someday). We found it friendly (of course dog people are always friendly) and the food was great. This is now my go to place for fish tacos... loved em! Oh, and yes, Mr. Wilson loved it too. p.s. the peach beer was great!
(5)Joe R.
A charming little brew pub that we stopped at for lunch. The patio is unique with a prime view of Camelback Mountain, as well as a bike lot for people to enter off the canal trail. The place serves a selection of traditional pub fare, along with some gourmet selections. The also feature locally crafted beer and wines, in addition to a full bar. I tried one of the flatbread pizzas, while my guests had the pork tacos and the veggie burger. The food was fresh and flavorful, and we all enjoyed our meals. I do, however, think that some of their prices are a bit ambitious, and rival higher class places in downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. For example the flatbread pizzas are priced at the level of some authentic gourmet pizza places like Pomo and La Piazza Locale, which are way out of their league. As far as the pub part, I cannot comment on since I was at a working lunch and therefore could not indulge.
(3)Bryan S.
-fun place to gather friends -good food, beers and apps -a bit to 'neighborhoodish' but love the dog atmosphere
(3)Jeffrey B.
The service was not very good and the food mediocre. Phoenix has many other options that are far superior, especially downtown. The mixed drinks were nothing worth mentioning (it is a brewery so my own fault there).
(2)Nathan R.
I picked a beer at random that ended up being delicious. I really enjoyed my dinner as well. The charcuterie (they called it something else) was fantastically delicious, highly recommend it for an appetizer. The braised pork was ultra yummy. The chocolate cake was probably the best I have eaten all year. I would go back just for that. Can't give it 5 stars though. I really felt ignored by the waiter. No excuse for crappy service.
(4)Ashley A.
We returned to N. Scottsdale location for another try. We ordered the flatbreads and the calamari appetizer. They were all very good, the flatbread was especially good. Music was turned down this time and the staff was very friendly. We moved recently so we will have to give the Arcadia location a go as well. I like the parking situation better at the N. Scottsdale location.
(5)Matt S.
One of my most favorite places to go! And I haven't even tried the patio yet! Loud enough that a "feisty" kid doesn't bother others but not so loud you can't talk to people at your table. Food has been good and consistent. Beer selection has yet to disappoint. They focus on local...so I"m a fan!!!
(5)Felipe S.
Very good. I'd probably throw it into the category of a gastropub. Because even though they brew their own beer, there is a great selection of other local brews and some great craft beers from around the country. Add this to some great pub grub and you have what most people would like in a gastropub. I wasn't very impressed on my first visit back when it opened. But it's vastly improved over the months. Food quality and preparation has especially been better. The best deal is the weekend brunch. Breakfast items are very tasty and they throw in a 10oz beer to the $10 deal. Open air dining is a plus.
(4)Brian D.
Really liked this place and will be back again soon for sure. Complimentary valet, solid service from the hipster leaning staff and the food and beer was great. Try the Barrio IPA. One of the best IPAs I've had yet. Good sandwiches (pulled pork with the honey jalapeño slaw was unreal) and enjoyed the charcuterie board.
(4)Angela J.
So I didn't try the beer BUT the bloody mary's are amazing. A-ma-zing. I also ordered the pork arepa. Super flavorful and the perfect amount if you're beyond starving, which I was. My friend ordered the green chili pulled pork sandwich which was equally as good. I will definitely be back. If anyone has had a bad experience here, it must've been a fluke...
(4)Jason B.
I was very excited to check this place out with a friend of mine. It's always nice to have a new spot open up in the area. You always hope that someone has finally done it right. The unfortunate truth is that this place needs to be on the show called "Restaurant Impossible". I'm not kidding when I say this, go and see for yourself. I have no animosity for this place, it was just very disappointing to see a group of guys / young boys (owners/Investors) standing around in their poor choice of wanna be club shirts that they probably got on sale at Marshall's, along with their poor hair grooming and unprofessional demeanor. It was as if they felt that their machine was up and running and that no improvements or the customer experience was even a possibility of a real issue. The bartender had a frown on his face the entire time, and our waitresses were as friendly as can be but really need to be informed and educated on their brews. I do not put this responsibility on the girls as much as I do the poor management. Now, with my ranting aside, my reasons for disappointment were as follows: We ordered the Brewer's Choice Plate which consisted of Mortadella, Prosciutto, and Tuscan Salami, along with a choice of cheeses and a bunch of fillers that they included. The plate came out and was presented well, but right away the cuts of meat were a disappointment. The thickness of the cuts was ridiculous and embarrassing. The Mortadella was almost room temperature, which can actually be a health hazard. Prosciutto was some sort of cheap salt cured, and hopefully pre-sliced. If they sliced it in house their chef should be fired for slicing such a thick cut of prosciutto. Even a non-chef knows that much. The salami was certainly nothing special, and again the Mortadella was the biggest disappointment. With this as my first impression of the food, I was very turned off and don't see them lasting very long if they don't fix such simple but important things. I suggest that they visit 'The Parlor' and take a look at the quality of the Artisan meats that they serve on their carving board, along with the thickness and temp of the meats. There is no comparison, and this is a no brainer for even a Foodie, much less a chef or a business that was swarming with inexperienced management at the time. So the next item was the Meat and Potato Flatbread with Pork Belly and three cheeses. I will say that it was mediocre, but missing some element of flavor to make it complete. The chips and guacamole were simple, but no complaints there. I enjoyed the Yucca Chips. I am not trying to be an extreme hater, but this place has a ton of hype out there and they aren't delivering quality products or service. They need to turn it up and light a fire under the asses of these young guys that are looking at a high profit margin by sacrificing quality food. They will need to offer much higher quality products if they want to stay afloat. i wish them the best and would love to try them again if I hear that they got everything straightened out. This would be an ideal location and they have a great concept. Cheers and good luck guys! Constructive criticisms are all I am offering and wish you the best. :)

Enjoyed the extensive beer list. With hot summer days just around the corner...and this place just around MY corner...the thought of summer just became a tad bit more tolerable!
(4)NO C.
Great patio. Food was nice- nothing special. Will definitely be back for more patio time.
(4)Tina S.
After I left my first review owner sent me a message thanking us for our patronage. How sweet. ;)
(5)Jill S.
the reason I am giving this 4 stars is because the staff and the weekend brunch menu rocks! Staff is super nice and extremely helpful, great beer. The food is not very good, I have tried several items on the menu and nothing very tastey. The weekend brunch menu on the other hand is amazing!! Go on the weekend and sit outside and you will keep going back like I do.
(4)Nick M.
Awesome job rejuvenating this bar from the dark dive bar it was. They have a great selection of brews from all over AZ, the US, and the globe as well as a very decent wine list. Thus far I've tried the pork tacos and the grilled cheese, both of which were delicious. Service was a little on the slow side as our server was clearly over-loaded.
(4)Edgar R.
Giving it 2-stars because of the food and beer... however, I haven't had this bad of a service in a long time!!! We sat at the outside bar and both bartenders were horrible! Un-attentive, rude, slow and plain awful. The atmosphere is good for a younger crowd, otherwise I wouldn't recommend. Might be back to try their newer brews coming up but this first visit left a lot to wish for...
(2)Alana B.
7th visit and it has been a great experience every time! The latest visit was just a quick 5pm stops for some beers and appetizers with friends, again some interesting new beers to try. We had the Brewers Board app, nice selection of appetizers and all tasty. Previous visits have been on the back patio, a very fun place eat and even let your dogs socialize. Sunday breakfasts and the weekend barbecues are some of our favorites. It's a bit of a drive for us, but definitely worth it, the food and service have been consistently great My dog is addicted to the free dog biscuits they bake there, so I always make sure I have a pocketful on the way out.
(5)David D.
love to come here on a sunday morning after a walk with my dog along the canal - - dog friendly patio with dog-bar and treats, great atmosphere.
(4)Kayluh D.
Came here for a brunch Saturday morning after a Crossfit competition in Scottsdale. Downside? Obviously it was a bit impromptu on the brunch so we did not call ahead to reserve seating, and being there was 12+ of us, figured there would be a bit of a wait. Ended up sitting the patio (a bit hot, as this was during summer), and the downside was that none of the tables are able to move together. Did not mind sitting outside, nice shady umbrellas and misters, but having the group broken up on multiple different tables was a bit disappointing. Ordered waffles and mimosa, both were very tasty. Did not hear any complaints from any of my fellow crossfitters either!! (And they can be picky! Everyone seemed to enjoy it). On the flipside it was not terribly expensive, a decent price for a decent meal. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and being dog friendly rules!! I plan on taking my furbaby here for a return visit sometime in the next month or two. Can't wait. Hope the food and drinks are just as good on my return!
(4)Jordan G.
O.H.S.O. is working it. They've got a good selection of beers and that propagates Phoenix's beer revolution, and they're liberal with the samples, which is terrific. With the exception of the arepas, the menu is fairly standard pub fare. I don't recommend the arepas, though, or at least the tuna one. It just wasn't clicking. O.H.S.O.'s best aspect is ambiance. With warm colors and wood accents, it feels like a nice, friendly pub you can bring your kids to. Considering the other options for decent beer selections around central Phoenix, O.H.S.O. isn't perfect, but it might be the best short of a drive to Papago. Also, Arizona's beer culture is picking up, but it is just not there yet. I appreciate O.H.S.O.'s dedication to local brewers, but they'd be better off reaching into California/Oregon/Colorado than hosting a bunch of mediocre Fretzky's taps. Or at least some of Four Peaks better stuff...
(4)Leilani G.
Great addition to the neighborhood! Since I discovered this place, I have been at least 4 times. The space is very big yet cozy. It has an area for whatever mood your in. There is the main dining area, the bar section, the front patio, and the super cool big back patio. The back patio is lots of fun, but only open during the weekend. You can even bring your dog. I have tried several food items and all were very tasty. Of course, there is the beer. Too many to comment on, but the staff is very knowledgeable about the beer, and are very patient with helping you choose something new. Keep this place alive and go as often as possible.
(5)David L.
I'm long overdue for a review for this place - my favorite bar in Arizona. As a craft beer fan (I try not to say "snob"...), I'm overwhelmed with a place with this good a selection of beers that I've never tried before or are worth trying again. In addition to the ones they brew themselves (which are quite good), they also have a terrific selection of locals and from elsewhere, on draft. I get sample sizes when I have the time, a pint when I don't. Happy hour is $6 for a pitcher (roughly 2.5 pints) for local Arizona brews. I've been here for happy hours, dinners, and late drinks with friends and have had a quality experience every time. To their credit, for a craft beer place they have a decent selection of mixed drinks and some wines. For food, I've been pleased with chicken sandwiches (very tender), the Sunday all-you-can-eat bbq, and appetizers. The food is decent enough given that the focus is on the beer (in my opinion). Servers have been quite knowledgeable about the beers. Atmosphere is kick-back casual, with a bright interior with various types of places to sit - booths, bar, tables, patio. Patio is dog-friendly. Parking can be tight but I've parked across the (rather busy) street (i.e., across Indian School), and it's not that big a deal. So far the only matches for beer selection are World of Beer (Tempe and Gilbert); Angel's Trumpet (which has no happy hour and the food is so-so at best); and 1702 (Tucson).
(5)Tiffany L.
I really like the vibe of this place. Been here a few times and it's always a good time. They have some awesome beers and you can create your own sampler since they're only $1 or $2. The food is decent. I've had the brisket sandwich and I tried a salad once. The service is kind of hit or miss at this place. Sometimes it's great and sometimes you sit there waiting forever. They have a pretty big patio out back, I haven't been out there yet since it's hot as balls right now. But I'm sure I'll be hitting it up once the temperature drops. The inside is pretty legit too, bar atmosphere, but they have this back room area that's got some couches for lounging...that part is kinda dark and relatively sketch but I could def see myself getting loud and tipsy back there. Overall, it's a good spot and one that I'm sure I'll visit often.
(4)Serena L.
Good food and great atmosphere. However, the service lacked in that we waited too long to get drinks ordered, food ordered, and the check. This would have been forgiven if it was busy, but it wasn't. Otherwise I would go back and give this place another try.
(3)Jennifer S.
Great addition to the Indian School corridor. I love the location along the canal and the patio has great views of Camelback Mountain. There is an extensive beer list and the drafts are reasonably priced. The vibe is very cool and the bartender was extremely friendly and helpful.
(4)Matt F.
Went there for the first time last night. This place was awesome. Has an amazing patio and beer selection. A perfect atmosphere for any type of crowd. Great music. My new favorite place for sure.
(5)Fred P.
Stopped in here Thursday for lunch with my dog. Great place to hang out for both of us. Server greater us with a water bowl and home-made biscuit for the dog. I had one of their own brews though they had a wonderful selection on tap of other breweries. They pulled pork sandwich was great.
(4)Kristin K.
Thanks so much for responding to my original Yelp post. Went back and had an amazing meal and experience!
(5)Ben S.
If I lived closer I would probably eat and drink here weekly. The outside patio is the best part about this place! I love how a lot of patrons ride their bikes to OHSO and how they have a bike hanging from the outside bar. If you like beer and I mean good beer you will enjoy this place! They have an amazing amount of beers on tap and support all of the Arizona micro brews! The food is alright...my favorite is the pastrami sandwich! Doesn't matter your age you will enjoy this place and the owners seem like real good guys and have put a lot effort making this place great!

I stopped in the other day while I was running around and decided to try this relatively new brewery/eatery in my neighborhood I keep driving by...I had a nice hoppy IPA and got the garden burger with it - both extremely enjoyable (I don't know how they got the garden burger patty to resemble an authentic backyard BBQ beef patty!). It was about 2 PM on a Thursday, so it was a totally casual atmosphere, hardly anyone in the joint...bartender friendly, service good...a pretty chill hang, all in all. I think that's what I liked most - the chill factor.

If you are looking for a good burger, and sweet potato fries, or Yucca Chips then this is your spot. I am not a beer drinker, but if you enjoy a good brew they are also a micro brew, with a sampler. Their Arizona burger is quite spicy, and very good.
(4)Le C.
Wonderful vibe and delicious fare. Enjoy and evening on the patio with a bottle of local brew and a chat with friends!
(5)Jimena M.
Love this place. Great food. A large beer selection. The patio area is unique and is pet friendly. It even has a "Barking Bar" where your pup can get a drink of water.
(5)A Y.
Great changing beer list, without pandering to the mainstream boring choices. Manager Paul is a class act.

If you like hot cucumbers, you'd better get into OHSO fast, because I'd bet this place has a six month to one year lifespan. Really, hot cucumbers? My partner and I were excited to see OHSO from the street, and I was particularly intrigued with the "Nano Brewery" moniker. Sounds great! Big disappointment. They are trying to be like St. Francis or The Vig, and it ain't working for them. And then I ordered a $12 or $13 "flatbread," which was a tiny square pizza with hot cucumbers on top of it. That's right . . . cooked cucumbers. Ugh!!! After scraping the cucumbers off, the balance of the chicken flatbread tasted OK. But like so many things on the menu here at OHSO, it was overpriced and uninspired. I like the beer list, but that's about it. Give it a little more intimate interior design, set up an outrageous happy hour, and this place could make it. But not like it is now. No way. Edited on Jan 3, 2015: We've been back. We really like the back patio there. Beer choices are great, not so much difference on food. I'd like a better happy hour. Bumping up by one star.

Came here severely drunk after the Waste Management Open...from what I remember it was very tasty burger. I liked the patio.
(5)DJ P.
Positives: - The patios is awesome - Location off the canal - Can ride and park our bikes there - Our kids love the dogs (at least when all of the dogs are getting along) - Dog treats for the kids to take home to the dog The rest: -The fish tacos are awesome, the burger was ok and the other dishes have been so so. - The brunch is great if you are drinking but otherwise $10 for a breakfast burrito isn't the greatest. For those of us that have to drive the rest home it would be nice if you could get an iced tea or coffee instead of a beer or mimosa.
(3)Aimee H.
Just have to add a couple things.... 1. I heard they are going to start letting people come in and brew their own beer?!? Where do I sign up I say!?!?! Sounds awesome! Anything we want, we get to name it and everything. I can't wait. 2. The Sunday BBQ Special, redick! Some friends got it the other day and raved about it. Looked amazing too. And at $15 and all you can eat, no brainer! "The best BBQ I have ever had!" He said

Went here on a Saturday night with a couple of friends. It was very busy that night and we had to wait about 30 minutes for our seats. We were able to get drinks from the bar to pass our time though. Our waiter was quick to help us take our order. We ordered more drinks and an appetizer while we waited for our entrees. An hour goes by and no entrees. Our waiter glances at us every 15 minutes but does not say anything to us. We finally ask about our entrees and he claims the kitchen staff accidentally placed our order in the completed pile. He did comp our drinks and appetizer though. Not entirely sure if it's worth it to come back here.
(2)Craig M.
Great beer, great food, and if you are a dog lover..the most pet friendly restaurant ever! Service is fantastic too. This is one place where we will go every trip to Phoenix. My dog is craving O.S.H.o dog biscuits!

On a warm Saturday afternoon, I was shocked to discover the popularity of OHSO. The back patio was slammed with customers day drinking at 2pm. A very good sign for any bar. The reason this microbrewery may be popular is probably because OHSO serves great beer. I'm not just talking about what they brew on site, but there's a massive selection of craft beers from other microbreweries in Arizona and from around the world. If you're looking for Bud Light, do yourself a favor and go to any other bar in the country. If you're looking for something other than beer, there is a decent selection of mixed drinks. Having never been to OHSO, I decided I should have one of their own and the Citrus Nitro caught my attention after the server called it a "creamsicle." What a perfect description of what the beer tastes like. Would you believe a beer flavored like a creamsicle is delicious? It is. I also tried the White Chocolate Ale from the Sonoran Brewing Company in Scottsdale. Also delicious. Service was great. I was with a group of about 15 to 20 people, and the waitress had no problem keeping our tabs straight. There were also tray filled with water glasses constantly delivered to the table without request. Something desperately needed on a 90 degree day. The server also was really knowledgeable about the beers on the menu.
(4)Genevieve W.
Had a great time here. I have been a couple of times. Once with my mom and her dog, and another time with my fiancé and friends. Had a great time each time. The green chile dip is delightful. Beer selection is good too. They have a lot of selection, not only from their own menu, but from breweries all over the west. The patio is absolutely the spot to be if it is not too hot out. On the weekend the vibe is chill with dogs and owners all over. We live in Chandler, so it is a little out of the way, but worth it for a good Saturday beer and burger.
(4)Michelle J.
A great place to bring your dog(s) and have a beer! They also make their own little dog treats and provide water. Food is pretty good too. Love coming here with my dog and will be coming back.
(5)Ivia G.
This is my new favorite place. I love that they always have a new selection of freshly brewed beers. I do not like the fact that they run out of those beers and you cannot get them the next week. The food is very tasty. I am going to try the brunch soon
(4)Liz M.
5 stars for beer selection. 0 for service (30 minutes to get food and drink from the time we ordered - 45 more to get the bill). 2 burgers, pink, BBQ one was great, AZ was literally still a precooked patty pink mush and onion straws were cold and slimy like they never made it to the frier. I got the wrong beer - twice. Didn't point any of this out to server because she barely existed. Good ambience and beer selection. Will still come for beer and bar only. Eat before you go. UPDATE: Manager reached out to correct service issues and was genuinely interested in the experience and details - a good sign! Plus, dogs loved the complimentary dog treats we brought home. Going to head back to try backyard BBQ with bike up on the canal - more to come!
(3)Patrick B.
I liked it. The beer was good, the hummus was excellent, and they even offered a free treat for my dog (made from spent grain from brewing). That said, I think it could easily have been a better value, and I wish that they offered better vegetarian/vegan selections -- I was meeting with a friend who is vegan. This place was great at offering a trendy pub ambience, but I will have to check back in another few months to see how they're doing on everything else.
(3)Kendrick W.
I absolutely loved the flatbread pizza. Very good. I was a little disappointed with the beer though. I had the orange blossom and the orange pail. I'm not sure exactly what it was but they just seemed very hoppy or strong, but not in a good way. They were good but not great. But just my opinion. Can't wait to see the outside once they are done renovating it. It was closed last week.
(4)Lesa B.
What a nice, chill place to eat, hang out, or just have a beer or three. I had the white chocolate and the Essie coffee beers which were great. We loved the Green Chile Pork Sliders, sweet potato fries, and the AZ Burger. We plan on going again real soon.

Anybody who spends a minute on Indian School road cruising to and fro Old Town has been sure to see the Orange Sign of O.H.S.O. teasing them as the latest BARCADIA experience to pop up. Yet another neighborhood bar/gastro pub which has become the genre of the moment in Arcadia. I must admit the formula works and if O.H.S.O. is able to keep pace then hurray for all of us. In this case the 3 star rating represents a perfectly MOR experience. Starting with design O.H.S.O. stayed true to the area trends with mix material semi-industrial set-up. It's many nooks and cranny's are probably meant to be quaint and homey but it seems a little busy and disjointed. And although the place is cute enough, I could not help but feel it was not complete. Maybe it wasn't. I was lucky enough to grab lunch just a couple of days after it opened, they may have some final touches to put on. In short I have nothing bad to say but I did not get that wow effect I was hoping for. As for food - it was one of those menus where nothing really reached out and grabbed hold of me. I settled for a flatbread on server recommendation. It was pretty flavorful and for value again not bad, not great I guess just about right. Another 3 stars. My service was excellent: Passionate, Proud of his new place, knowledgeable and excited. That was the best part of the experience and the one thing that will bring me back. My ice tea was full, recommendations sincere and my table clean. What more could I ask for? It was very refreshing to see that type of pride and enthusiasm from an employee. The local beer touch was refreshing as well and a great connection to the local community. In short O.H.S.O. which my server quipped was "OH-SO tastey" seemed to be OH-SO, O.K. There is reason enough to go back and see how it evolves. As it competes with some of the neighborhoods similar experiences I think it has just a little work to do. I am always rooting for a new spot and I will do the same for O.H.S.O.
(3)Ashlee M.
This place is FANTASTIC. The server was great, beer selection was impeccable, and the food was amazing. I have no complaints for O.H.S.O.!
(5)Jill D.
Great beer selection, but we were just in for lunch. I was definitely tempted, but remained a good girl. Or was a good girl for once... potato... pah-ta-tah. The spinach/artichoke/crab dip was really good. I need to find those yummy yucca chips by the bag. I really liked how the dip wasn't too heavy and cheesy. Nice clean flavors. We then spit the chicken salad sandwich with the side of the gnocci for an extra dollar. The gnocci for an extra buck was a STEAL. Seriously... should I have snuck out the back? Holy crap was that gnocci good. The chicken salad sandwich was super yummy too and I loved that it was served on a croissant. Service was great and we will definitely return soon. Next time I will get beer!
(5)Andrew F.
We tried OHSO for dinner tonight and could not have been happier with the food, beer, and service. For happy hour, you get $6 baby-pitchers of local brews -- good stuff. My wife (a vegetarian) had the Mediterranean Salad, sans meat, and loved it. I had one of the chicken flatbreads and it was delicious. I'd like to try almost everything on the menu. The beer list is unique and unmatched from what I've seen so far in the valley. Service was outstanding. Give it a shot. I hope this place sticks around, because we will be back often.
(5)Barry A.
I'm not gonna front: I applied to work at O.H.S.O., the new Arcadia eatery and nano-brewery, and did not get a call back. For that reason, I totally understand if you feel this review to be biased. That being said, I will probably be at O.H.S.O. everyday. I live in the neighborhood, am unemployed, and they have pitchers of Arizona beers for 5 dollars till 5pm. Hello alcoholism! When I saw this deal, I saw my life flash before my eyes and it involved a lot of weight gain mixed in with a heart attack. Unfortunately, I only saw this offer after ordering a soda. (I was sweaty and out of sorts, don't judge.) So, my future would have to wait. I'm also a vegetarian and while there are options-thankfully!-for us ninnies, I don't feel comfortable basing my entire review for things not applicable to a vast majority of the general population. Just know that. That being said, I got the veggie burger with a side of yucca chips and "dipping sauce." The dipping sauce turned out to be guacamole. Why they couldn't just be out in the open-it's 2011, people aren't scared of guacamole, y'all-was confusing. I felt mislead. I want some unknown dipping sauce! That's would be exciting. But that is not reality. The yucca chips tasted like thick regular chips of good quality. The veggie burger came on a buttery challah roll and featured some cherry tomatoes that had been marinated and some greens. The actual patty tasted pretty much like a soft, large falafel croquet. It had no sauce on it from what I can tell. I asked the bartender if a condiment should be put on it and he was like, "I like ketchup and mustard on it." This, I guess, is valid. It's marketed as a burger but it still seems like heresy. Everything else is abnormal about it-why would I put on the default condiments? Maybe some tsatziki? At the end of the meal, I had three samples of three beers for one dollar each. (Confused?) Two were from Arizona-a cream ale and Good Vibrations-and the third was from Montreal and made the other two seem like some ugz stepchildren of a beer master. So tasty, Canada! While you'd get strange looks, if you were to order 4 of the Montreal samples it would be the same amount of beer for fewer bucks than normal. Is it worth the scorn of your bartender? That is for you to decide. The main space is chill. In the interview, they noted how they wanted people to feel comfortable and stay for awhile. The furniture, airiness, and instructions to grab a seat wherevs ably connote this. There are TVs but they are not intrusive. The owners were rushing to get this restaurant open and while maybe no one else cares, I feel like they could've done a bit better with the bathroom. It has been barely remodeled from the old space, which is most noticeable because everything else looks so lovely. Except this weird, changing-color-announcement-board imploring you to try a beer in the foyer-that also seems out of place. In spite of these missteps, I'm down with what these people are trying to do. They have plenty of bike parking, they play decent music, they have a good menu, they're friendly. It is hard for things to come out as envisioned. (To wit: My food photography. Do you know how awesome that was gonna look in my head?) With time and work, I imagine things will get better.

One star for atmosphere and one star for beer selection. Although they only had one beer brewed on site. I have been there twice and decided not to return. The first time was on a Sunday and I was excited to find another late night food option in my neighborhood. The website had kitchen hours posted til 12am on Sunday nights. We arrived at 11pm and were told kitchen was closed for "deep cleaning". We returned a week or two later on a Saturday night for drinks and food. We sat at the bar and were ignored by three bartenders standing directly in front of us. Not even so much as eye contact for almost 3 minutes. The bar was not busy. I am in the industry and have no patience for lack of acknowledgement. Step your game up!!
(2)Ben F.
First off, let me congratulate OHSO on being open for business! I was thrilled to see another local watering hole open in the neighborhood. I frequent Arcadia Tavern and JT's often and will most likely add O.H.S.O to the rotation. Upon entering OHSO, I remember my first impression being "Is this place really ready to be open for business". I noticed a few unfinished details on the building (maybe intentionally) that left me wondering if this place decided to open overnight. Simple said, I appreciate good service. There was a lack of this at O.H.S.O. We were not greeted when we walked in. There was a group of employees talking at the host stand and I had to approach them before they recognized our group. They quickly said it was open seating and got back to their converstaion. We grabbed seats in a booth in the bar area. We probably sat there for about 5 mins trying to make sense of the various colored menus strewn across the table. As we were all very thirsty for a cold beer, we decided to finally order at the bar. Someone eventually came by. After some of our party left, 2 of us moved up to the bar and asked the bartender a few questions. No one seemed to know what was going on. Everyone appeared to be extremely busy with "busy work" instead of helping the patrons. Seemed like a lack of training with the staff. Overall, I think this place has the potential to be a cool spot and truly hope it does well. If I could offer a few suggestions, they would be: 1. Have a dedicated host(s) greet people at the front door. Take a hint from Arcadia Tavern. I have never walked in there and not been greeted by a friendly smile. 2. Get the music in order. If you want to a progressive/hip local brewery, you are going to have to do better than a "killers" album that was popular 4 years ago. 3. You have something that people want...BEER! It's great service and attention to detail that will keep patrons coming back. I look forward to my next visit and I hope some of these kinks are worked out.
(3)Michael C.
Love this place. Especially out back. Sunday brunch is a blast. Lively crowd and pet friendly.
(5)Grigour S.
Honestly, I didn't fall for the parking accommodations however the staff, beer and decor are very nice.
(4)Chris Z.
Amazing selection of beers on tap. Great happy hour specials. Good food. Friendly service. And a nice patio area during the months that we don't use the phrase "It will only be 105 degrees today". You can get pitchers of on tap local brews for $6-11. The pitchers are plenty generous. The burgers are great. The fish and chips (which in my opinion is the best way to judge any brewery) taste great. It's always a good sign when they bring out malt vinegar without being asked. I prefer the texture of cod to mahi but the breading was tasty and it wasn't a pile of breading with a sliver of fish. The tartar sauce had great flavor and it looked made on site (I've never seen store bought with pickles diced that large). The only real issue here is the parking. If you show up during busy times, it can be a nightmare. The valet helps. The guys out front are friendly and do not push hard for tips (which of course makes us want to tip them more than we would have had we felt pressured!). It can be a frustration but in the end it is worth it.

I took about a 7 month hiatus from OHSO. I was dragged back kicking and screaming for a friend's birthday this last Friday. They have a happy hour which apparently ends at 6pm. Fine. We got there around 6:05 and ordered a few pitchers of beer. I will continue to give them praise for their beer selection. My beer was very tasty. Our server came by and asked us if we'd like any appetizers to start with. I had seen on the happy hour menu that they serve a pretzel cheese fondue type thing. During happy hour (which ends at 6), this app is like $3 or something. It is now 6:13pm. I ask if I can have the pretzel cheese fondue thingy....aaaannnd....wait for it...wait for it....our server says NO! I, of course, assume that there is some sort of miscommunication on my part. I tell her that I fully recognize that I cannot have the pretzel fondue thingy for the $3 happy hour price. It's 6:13 after all, and the happy hour ends at 6. So I ask again. AGAIN SHE SAYS NO! Undeterred and extremely desirous of the pretzel fondue thingy, I say, Look, I know I can't get it for $3. Can't I pay you some exorbitant price and get it? AGAIN SHE SAYS NO!!! She says the pretzel fondue thingy is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING HAPPY HOUR. WHAT?! She then proceeds to tell me that I can wait until 10pm when Happy Hour starts again and order it. WHAT?! THE MICROWAVABLE PRETZEL FONDUE FAIRY IS TAKING A 4 HOUR BREAK OR SOMETHING?! Ok. Ok. Ok. I get that sometimes you can't order the thing you want. I get it. Breakfast at 10pm when you're not at a Denny's? Fine. I understand. BUT THIS IS A PRETZEL! A pretzel that was available 13 minutes ago and will be available in another 3 hours and 47 minutes!!! Crestfallen, I ordered some pesto hummus, a cheese burger, and a couple more pitchers of beer. All were perfectly fine. But all I really wanted was my pretzel cheese fondue thingy. I have never offered to pay more for something and been denied. Like, literally never in my life. Why OHSO? Why do you so desperately want me to hate you?
(2)Britt C.
I'm really torn on writing this review, I wish there was an option to review it as a bar versus a restaurant. I frequently come here and wish I could give it a higher rating, but their food just doesn't stand up. 5 Stars - If you're coming here just to drink/go to a bar The pros: - Dog friendly: You can bring your dog to the patio at night, they have carabiners to hook up leashes, water bowls, and complimentary dog treats - Awesome beer list: It's really extensive with lots of good choices - Happy hour is a great deal: $6 pitchers - 10$ beer brunch (breakfast pizza is your best bet) - The ambiance/atmosphere is really great - Bicycle friendly: you can bike down the canal to get here 2 Stars - If you're coming here to eat The cons: - The food is really hit or miss, you have to really know what to order and the better dishes are still just average. - The small plates are not a good value, very little food for the $ - Burger is okay, would be great if they served it on a better bun - Service is very hit or miss too, mostly miss All together their food is a fail. This place would be 5 stars if they revamped their menu. The majority of the dishes I've eaten have been mediocre (I've tried several things on the menu). I wish they would change their food quality (e.g. take some notes from Four Peaks) and then it would be perfect.
(3)Lizzy R.
Pros: Awesome selection of beers several of which are local. (I know; that's sort of a duh because it's a nanoBrewery). The food is really good, especially their flatbreads, and the staff is friendly and efficient. You can have your dog on the patio and they have treats and water for dogs which is fun. Overall, it's a good atmosphere and an awesome place to bring out of towners to show them a cool local spot. The other patrons are always nice and interesting as well. In fact, pretty much every time I've gone here one of us girls walks away with a date! Good to know for all of you single folks! Cons: Parking kind of sucks. They do have free Valet but of course you still have to tip. It's not that big of a deal because they do have an ATM inside (which does charge a ridiculously high interest rate for withdrawals of course!) but still, something to keep in mind. Also, I feel like every single time I go there one of the toilets is clogged. Again, not that big of a deal but a pain nonetheless. And lastly, yes, it's fun that dogs are allowed on the patio and granted I know this is out of the restaurant's control so I didn't let it factor my rating, but some of the people that bring their dogs here are really stupid and ironically not what I would call "dog people." In other words, it's hard to relax because you're constantly trying to keep your dog under control but also other people's dogs at bay as well. Not a good time in my book.
(4)Gene M.
As a regular to this wonderful brewery and dog friendly patio tonight I was thoroughly disappointed. The hostess quoted our table of two 40 minutes while we saw at least 5 empty and clean tables. Being a server for the past 8 years did teach me that you should under promise and over deliver your guests but these wait times were ridiculous and are the type of actions that drive customers away. We almost left as we got our text to be seated less than 10 minutes after we put our name in. Staff needs some training.
(2)Nicole N.
The brunch is delicious and has a good price. Mimosas and brunch for $10.86 a price that can't be beat.
(5)Sophia H.
This place has a really cool vibe. Sunday mornings are great for hang-over breakfast. And any weeknight (when it is not too busy) is great for patio dining. The patio is dog-friendly, which I appreciate. Oh, and the food... the food is delicious. I get the OHSO salad with steak. Very good. The tacos are also pretty bomb. They serve Omission gluten free beer - a huge plus for me! I would give it 5 stars if it didn't get so incredibly crowded Sunday mornings. But then again, pretty much every breakfast place in Arcadia is packed on Sunday mornings. Sigh, oh well.
(4)K K.
If you're going for beer and sunshine, by all means, go. If you're looking for friendly, personable and helpful service and bartenders, there are TONS of other cool-vibe and delicious- casual friendly places to eat (close by and in old town Scottsdale). Best thing on the menu is the cheese burger.-all their food tastes fresh. But to hang out, mingle, check out the dogs and enjoy the sunshine, you will wait forever for a drink, forever to get the bartender's attention...you begin to feel like a crank because you and your group starts to complain about the poor service--it's better to get drinks somewhere else OR get a table. Even when you have a table, the servers are super slow. I won't spend one more dime or hour of mine here ever again.
(1)Claire J.
On Sundays they have the most amazing backyard bbq. All you can eat for 15 dollars! Amazing chicken, ribs, and brisket as well as potato salad, coleslaw, and corn bread! Seriously so delicious, it is a must try if you are in the area! I have been on multiple occasions and no matter how busy the service is always great and the food is fantastic. The back patio is the best because of the dogs but the whole restaurant is wonderful. There is a huge selection of beer and you can brew your own with them!
(5)Nathan D.
Five stars without a doubt. My favorite spot in the Valley. They offer dog treats from their spent beer grains. Their beer is mediocre, but the service and experience more than makes up for it. Plus, they let ASH members put their beer on tap. VERY friendly to home brewers, and that's what counts! For me, this is Heaven.
(5)Jennifer O.
I went here with a large group last night for a birthday celebration...it was bar #2. We had 8 people there and the people at OHSO were very accommodating for our party. We sat on the patio, which was nice. I actually only had food at this place, so can't comment on the drinks, but I split their bbq burger with the BF and I thought it was really good! Now, it may be because I was drinking, but I ate my half burger so fast it was ridic. This bar has a very relaxed atmosphere and the waiter didn't try to hurry us out, even when the drinking had slowed down. I would definitely go here again! PS I want to try a beer breakfast....what an awesome idea!
(4)Jen W.
I absolutely love this place, the food is amazing and the beer is excellent. The owner and managers are always willing to stop and chat and want your feedback. My boyfriend and I recommend OHSO to everyone we meet and are normally there a few times a weeks. We love bringing our friends and our dogs to OHSO every chance we get. The best part is it's only 3.5 miles from our house.
(5)Apryl M.
This is definitely a place to write home about. Huge dog friendly patio with water bowls for your pup and homemade dog treats from the brewery spent grain. I love coming here on the weekend with my dogs for the $10 beer brunch and the all you can eat BBQ for $15 after 3 on Sundays. You will be addicted. It's a huge bicycle culture bar and restaurant - the decorations are awesome and the wheels of the bikes that line the patio actually have WORKING FANS in them. Best idea ever. Also, if you snap an adorable photo of your dog and put it on their facebook you are entered to win a $25 giftcard to O.H.S.O. hashtag profit, am I right?
(5)Kelly H.
I guess the little 'R' icon means I'm a regular here - well I am. Four visits in the last month is about as regular as it gets for me (two of them in the same weekend as requested by my out-of-town visitors). After running along the canal for months seeing the words "Friendly Dog Patio" painted near the back, it was only a matter of time before my pup and I dropped by. We're both big fans! The wine and beer selections are terrific, and the meatless choices are abundant. Of the hummus, guac, yucca chips, flatbread, veggie burger, fries, arepas, and salads - I have yet to find something that hasn't been delicious. We're not talking epic creative fusion cuisine here, just above-average pub grub. The mixed drinks are okay, but most of them are on the sweet side which isn't my thang. Happy hour prices are spectacular and we've had some stellar service to boot (enough to make up for a couple of service hiccups). That fifth star awaits the back patio being open during the week. It's glorious with a view facing Camelback Mountain and set under the canal. The front patio view is well...the parking lot. Since I will likely always be outside with my dog, I'd rather not butt up to a piping hot grill. But I will give bonus points for having dog treats and a canine watering station. Woof woof hooray!
(4)Stephanie P.
This time I brought my dog and we sat on the patio. The staff was so great about making sure she had water and dog treats. It's so nice to bring your dog to a place and have her feel welcomed!!! The umbrellas were up and misters were on-bring on summer!! Service overall was very friendly and we were even offered water cups to go as it was so hot out today! Thanks!! As usual, food was delicious as was the beer. I enjoyed the beet salad with Mammas little yellow pils, and my sister got the grilled cheese and grapefruit wheat. This place has definitely become one of my favorites.
(5)Kaleigh B.
Haven't tried the food, but really liked the beer and sangria. Great place to take dogs. OHSO thinks of everything. They have dog showers, water bowls, homemade dog treats, carabiners at each table so you can hook the leash to it and relax. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to going back.
(5)Stephanie B.
I have been here twice for social events. So more for the drinks and to hangout. The ambiance is wonderful. They have bikes hanging around which is unique. Very casual. Loved the patio out back. Large bar and area to hangout. The drinks are always great there. Cool place to hangout any night of the week. I would definitely go back anytime.

Had a flavorful meal last night for my sister's b-day dinner. She had the green chile pork burger, I had the Ahi tuna salad and my other sister had the shrimp tacos. I'd have to say that the portions were small, compared to the typical-American-serving.. which is nice, but not so good when you are famished (which we all were, in anticipation for 'dinner out' in Arcadia). My Ahi portion was quite small (I'm pretty sure less than 4oz) but the salad and the dressing combination were an explosion of pure delight in my mouth.. tart cherries, crispy yucca and bitter arugula topped with soy ginger vinaigrette was such a delight! My sister's also boasted about the flavor of their meal. Truly tasty food. The ambiance was pretty quiet, but then again it was Monday night.. and the lighting was a bit awkward where we were seated at.. I had this shining halogen bulb right in my direction and it was awkward. Our server gal was nominal, friendly, but short with convo. I wanted a Belgian beer, but they were out, so I nixed the beer idea (I know, I'm a turd, I should've just had some) and got a Spanish Garnacha which was delicious. My sisters enjoyed their sip of it. I'll definitely be coming back for some more tasty food :)

Great double date place that allowed us to bring our dogs to sit at the table outside with us. Although it took a long time to get a table, the beer made up for it. As well as the BBQ chicken. The Sunday special will have me coming back for only the chicken and cornbread. Downside was the service, and when we were advertised the BBQ buffet, we ordered seconds and got "the last of it,so enjoy". And no chicken. Good atmosphere.

This is a local spot for me. The food is good, excellent selection of beers, great mimosa's/bloody mary's (The brunch on saturdays/sundays is great - $10 meal with a mimoso or 10oz beer), the parking is brutal - I'm lucky as I can walk:) and unfortunately the customer service is "usually" pretty mediocre (but the atmosphere is enough for me) - often slow service with no apology, things forgotten and just not always overly friendly - each experience a little different but no big red flags. Definetly a great casual place to have a beer, bring the dog (very dog friendly on the patio), great place to hit while on your beach cruiser as you can exit right off the canal - sit on the patio and enjoy the amazing view of camelback mountain.

It's all about the beer selection here, period. The food is mediocre bar food. But the atmosphere is lively, the service is decent, and the beer is outstanding. Get there early on a night or weekend or be prepared to wait.

I really like any place that allows me to take my dog, the fact that they have a "bark bar" with water bowls and treats makes me love it even more! The outside is really nice, right next to the canal with easy access to walk the pup dogs. They even have an outside wash area for when you need to wash your hands and can't go inside since you got your animal friend with you. Bartenders are really awesome, I have yet to find one that is unfriendly. Love the 3 oz samples for only $1. The OHSO salad with chicken was good, pretzels were good, yucca chips with dip (it's guacamole. Which I thought was a little weird that they said dip instead of guacamole) was really good. Something different from corn chips. I love that they started serving up growlers! I absolutly love that I can go less then 2 miles and get a growler filled with yummy Four Peaks and Oak Creek or any one of there tap selections. I can't wait to try out their brew once it's done! The fact that it is just a bike ride away makes me wish the cooler days would come even quicker! I definitely recommend everyone try this place out! You just might see me there ;)

We really like this place and are really happy about the new location too! Decent size craft beer menu and the atmosphere is always fun! The good is very good and we think the prices are fair. I always get a burger variation which is almost always cooked the way I order and the other things we have ordered have been good as well. Dog friendly patio too so that's awesome!
(4)Marissa E.
Such a cool place! If you love beer, this is the place for you! Tons of beers on the menu, they brew a handful themselves, they host local independent brewers as "guest brews" and then lots of other beers including several AZ craft brews !! Can sample any and as many Of the beers as you choose! Food is good too! I had the Burger and Cheese-ordered pink- loved it! My friend ordered the brisket sandwich-amazing! It's super Dog friendly- which pushes this place to the top of my favorites list! They even have free homemade dog biscuits for your furry friend to enjoy there or at home- my dog had lots of allergies, can't have treats usually- however she had no problems with these treats! She was very very happy and so be was I !
(5)Lauren S.
Great atmosphere, great food, great service, fun patio, dog friendly, free homemade pet treats. Love this place!!!
(5)Rachel A.
Great patio, super dog friendly. And amazing food. Their brisket is better than most BBQ joints and their fish and chips are amazing, and that coming from a person who doesn't like fish.

I visited OHSO three times before deciding to write this review to ensure what I feel is a fair review. Unfortunately, my experience was the same all three visits. Mediocre food at best. In all honesty I can only rate the food based upon one visit as the second visit I did not eat, and the third time the service was so bad we canceled our order and left. The service was terrible no matter if it was slow, busy, or somewhere in between. I am not sure what these four and five star reviews find so appealing about this establishment, however I found it a very unpleasant experience. There are too many superior ale houses, gastro pubs, and breweries in the area to waste time here.
(1)Jennifer A.
Sorry to be so harsh but bad experience start to finish. We walk in on a Saturday night and it's pretty dead. They seat us (2 top) right next to the in and out of the kitchen. I look around and see plenty of open tables so I'm not sure why this was the logical place to seat us. I sit down and practically slide under the table because the seat is not bolted to the wood frame. So the bench cushion which is vinyl would slip .... hard to explain but it was annoying. On the first slip I put my hand on the table to catch myself only to feel something squishy under it. When I lifted my hand off the top of the table I had the last guests rice on it. Gross! We order drinks...the same way we always do. Loud and clear 2 iced teas NO lemon. No lemon please. She said ok no problem. She comes back a bit later with 2 good sized iced teas with a beautiful slice of lemon on each. Really? That is usually my first indication of bad service. It rarely happens but if it does I know it's going to be interesting at best. I couldn't find anything to order (Not the menu it was me) so I ordered some sweet potato fries. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I asked if my fries could be brought out asap as I was starving (again not them me). My fries were brought out and they were hot...which is nice. That is where nice ended as they had a burnt taste to them. Not so good. My husbands burger came out and I will upload the picture. I am all for a little pink in the middle of the burger but I am not down with a light sear on the patty. I have never seen such an under cooked burger in my life. I did nibble the edge and what I got was very good but it was not safe to eat the whole thing. So we asked for our check and bolted. The other annoying thing is the valet parking. It is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. The parking is plenty there and you literally hand a guy a ticket to grab your car 5 - 10 feet away. I am all for job creation but this is just annoying. I will not be back, I'm sure they do not care lol but I would also like to say I would not recommend to anyone unless you are in the neighborhood and you are craving well thought out but poorly executed food.

OHSO has top notch beers representative of their respective styles. Small batch brewed, delicious and properly balanced. They also have a ton of other local, regional, and national crafts on draught. The food is good too. Fresh ingredients, creatively prepared. The atmosphere and location is perfect. Outdoor seating in front and rear. Misters, fans, dog and bike friendly.
(5)Anna G.
Came in for happy hour the other night. It wasn't too busy or crowded. The service was super attentive, felt a tad rushed by the server but no biggie. The Ahi Tuna salad was GREAT and priced well. Dressing was really tasty and tuna was perfect. They had quite a few happy hour drink deals. Definitely recommend!
(5)Anne W.
I went to OHSO with some friends for brunch yesterday and I am so glad I did! Their patio is awesome. I am so glad it is pet friendly too since I might get a dog sometime soon! Let me just say their brunch ROCKS! You get a choice of beer or a (huge) mimosa along with a meal choice for only $10 altogether! I had the breakfast flatbread and it was so huge I had alot of leftovers. It was very tasty. Our waitress was nice and very chill. I loved the casual atmosphere and the complimentary valet parking. I can't wait to go back to OHSO!!!

7/28/12 Met with a few friends who'd already started drinking during happy hour (read 530p) and finished dinner before I arrived around 840p. Serendipitously found a great parking spot across the front entrance. I knew I wouldn't enjoy my stay here when I was hit by such loud chattering as soon as I opened the front door. That and the scent of rancid beer that greeted me were enough to make me want to bolt, but I'd already let my friends know I'd arrived via text and Yelp check-in. Found my friends at a four-top, sat down, and proceeded to shout hellos- strike three! I REALLY dislike having to shout to a person who's sitting/standing right beside me to be heard. What's even worse is having to nuzzle my ear to their mouth to understand what they're saying... Really made me wish I was at mellow Four Peaks, already sipping on a cold pint of Peach ale and waiting on dinner to arrive. I sat at that table for twenty minutes watching at least three different servers pass by without stopping to ask if I needed anything. Thank goodness I brought my bottle of water with me, or I would've been really annoyed, because not only were my head and ears aching from the noise, but I was also hungry AND very thirsty, as well! It was only around the 30-minute mark, while I and two other friends were standing by a landing of stairs did a server stop and ask if I had been helped. By that time, I'd already made up my mind to leave and was already saying goodbye to my friends. Too bad I couldn't get any love... 3 oz beer samplers are $1 or $2 (those designated with a plus sign). Would've been a fun way to taste my way through the menu while checking out just how well the servers know the beers they offer- I'm a newbie to the world of beers, but I already know I don't like a lot of hops. Pints are $5 each (boo!), but $9 per pitcher (awesome!), and that's not even happy hour prices! A pint of local brewery Four Peaks is $5- what? I expected to see a lot of O.H.S.O. brewery beers, but I only spotted TWO. But I shouldn't have even bothered to study all of this since I never received service!
(1)Nida K.
O.H.S.O Bland. This place is in such a beautiful, industrial space, but it's so boring. It really lacks personality which given the concept, and building, is so easily capable of achieving. Of course, the beer selection is great. They snuck the Sam Adams Boston Lager onto their menu, which I think is a wonderful beer, but not appropriate in the grand selection at O.H.S.O. I found the patio furniture they had near the cool garage doors was a bit tacky. I don't think this is a permanent location for this bar, but I think they could've done a better job with decor and furnishings. The service was fine, as were the beers.
(3)Kristi M.
LOVE OHSO so much! Great food. Great beer. And super dog friendly with an awesome patio (my favorite part) 5 Stars for OHSO
(5)Jessica K.
OHSO always makes me OSHO happy. We enjoy biking the 5ish miles from home to OHSO and hanging out on the patio. We're actually thinking of getting bike trailer to put the dogs in, because we know they'd love to go to OHSO too! Overall the drinks are great, service is fantastic, and the food is pretty good (we've found a couple landmines on the menu). Brunch is an awesome deal - $10 for a brunch entree and it includes an AZ beer or a mimosa (a big mimosa!).
(4)Sarah M.
You can get a 3-ounce taster of any of the beers on tap for $1 or $2 each. I went with a group of friends, and we tried ALL THE BEERS. It is a night that will live on in the annals of history. I highly recommend it as an adventure, a group bonding activity, and an opportunity to discover new beers you like. The food is mighty tasty. I've had sweet potato fries at a lot of places, and these are hands-down the best. They're a little on the salty side, but that's how I like them. If only they offered them with Delux's aioli, then we'd be in business. We also got a meat & cheese plate and the grilled chicken flatbread pizza. They were both quite tasty and disappeared quickly. Our server was great. We were a big group, and it would be easy to mess up with all of those tasters. But he got everything right and checked in with us regularly. It also didn't hurt that he was a cutey patootey. The only con was that we were seated in an alcove with two booths, and it got really loud with all the sound bouncing around. I wish they'd put up a curtain between the booths and something on the walls to dampen the sound. For now, I'll just ask for a different table.
(5)Corey C.
OHSO was a little better than so so. The wait was about 20 minutes longer than estimated, however wasnt too bad since we could grab some beers from the bar. The only problem was it took a good 10 minutes to get a beer. The selection of beer was great and the food average. My girlfriend ordered the burger gluten free which only meant no bun. Technically the title is correct, but a little misleading. The best thing about this bar is the pet friendly nature. Overall pretty good and looking forward to their new location closer to home for drinks.
(3)Kevin B.
Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I recommend OHSO for anyone looking to dine at a neighborhood bar and grill. I was really shocked when I dined at OHSO for a Sunday brunch. I figured the variety of beers would be the focal point of the brewery; boy, was I wrong. This place has some of the best dishes in Scottsdale supported by a huge selection of beer. Let me say this with more clarity: great food differentiates this place, not the huge variety of beers. This is a great achievement considering many breweries focus on providing rare beers with mediocre food. The "Burger + Cheese" is simply awesome. A GREAT brunch dish is the "Breakfast Burrito" as well as the "Breakfast Flatbread."
(5)Jan S.
Fun place for a few beers and live music. It's a big space with a lounge-like room in the back for some good entertainment. I've heard mixed reviews on the food from good to meh but both times I stopped in were for the liquid meals. As for the beers of course there should be something of interest for just about anyone There is a pretty good beer selection from your ales, ipas, and lots of local flavor. Service was a little slow but overall okay. The bar is pretty big and open with plenty of seating. Will have to sample the food and stay a bit longer on my next visit.
(3)Kat K.
Love the dog friendly back patio. They even had free dog treats. Service was great. Pretty cool place, a place where I would go hang out if it was closer. Their own beers sucked. They only had a couple, hence the name"nano", but what few they had was not good. Luckily they had many guest beers on tap. They update their beer menu often, which is a perk. Now if they can focus on their own brews... I will try them again, maybe grab a bite to eat next time. Its a neat place, just go for the guest beers.
(3)Celeste L.
The service was cheerful and friendly-- the food was perfect...tasty and fresh. The mimosas are tasty!
(5)Christina G.
Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Can get pretty crowded during happy hour.

New to Phoenix, my boyfriend and I enjoy custom brews and good, inexpensive dining. We found O.H.S.O in an online search of restaurants near our home. We were pleased when we arrived to see that this establishment is dog-friendly (providing water dishes, a spacious back patio, and homemade dog biscuits) since we are a two-tail family. While we did not bring our animals the first trip, we will in the future. The atmosphere is cozy - well-lit but soft lighting; the music has a wide variety and is kept loud enough to hear but low enough to talk reasonably; the building is clean, modern, and has a good lay out; and heated patios (in the winter) are a nice bonus feature. The price, for a night out for two with drinks, was reasonable. We were both pleased by the beer selection. The prices were a little high but not terribly so considering the place features local, small breweries. There was an average selection of food, although the menu is limited. I wished there'd been more options for vegetarian or vegan. The establishment could pull in a lot more business (and I'd be able to recommend to more friends) if they offered more than one veggie burger and a few salads for vegetarian/vegan selections. Of the veggie burger (which I had)... delicious and moist, very flavorful. My boyfriend hoovered his fish and chips to indicate how pleased he was with the meal. All-in-all, I'd recommend this place and return.

Flys flys flys did I say I don't like flys how can a bartender work with flys all over the counter. Brisket is like pulled pork slice don't pull bbq out of a jar first and last time here yuck
(1)Dave T.
One word: Brunch Sure you could come here for HH on Fridays (as there are always a large number of cute single ladies here). Sure you could come to dinner. I just don't know why you would! O.H.S.O is a brunch place period. A top 2 Mimosa in the Valley without question! Back Patio! Forget about it. INSANE!!!! I used to come here when it was "Black Forrest Mil" bar for dancing, and now that it has been totally revamped, I come here for the amazing back patio they added and great beer selection, mostly local to the AZ area is a big plus for us local boys. And now... a game for you to play! Everytime to you go... Create an acryonym for O.H.S.O and leave it as tip. I've played this game on FourSquare for years, but since Yelp is so much more amazing, I have to bring the tradition over here as well... Some previously made acronyms we've come up with are... Obviosly Hot Sexy Occupants Other Humans Steal Olives Outlandish Hominids Sucky Oxygen Owning Honest Shiny Oysters Outlandish Hyper Sensitive Orks Orangutangs Have Sweetened Oranges Etc.. Please enjoy the acronym game here by leaving them as tips!

Have been to this place during lunchtime. The service was great and always friendly. The food is great, from burgers to the flat bread pizza. Great selection of micro brews as well. Don't know what to order just ask the wait staff is very beer friendly.

Yummy! Best patio in the valley

Our second experience at OHSO was much different than the first. After our last visit the owner, Jon was kind enough to reach out to us, invite us back and try to better the situation. His invitation coincidentally fell on the same night a friend was hosting a mixer for an amazing charitable organization, "Long Way Home." OHSO allowed our group to sit in the cozy room off the front patio and even donated a portion of the proceeds from each bill to the cause! When we arrived the place was packed. There was another event going on simultaneously on the back patio. The restaurant offered complimentary valet parking. I wanted to spare myself the embarrassment of having the staff sit in my filthy car so we parked across the street. :) Our group staggered in throughout the night and by the end we had upwards of 25 in our room. Our table ordered the veggie flat bread, the brisket sandwich, the spinach crab dip, fish tacos and a few pitchers of beer. The food was fresh, and filling, yummy and came out quickly especially considering how busy they were. Everyone in our party received their food and drinks efficiently and seemed to be having a wonderful time. Our server Janell was attentive and accommodating to our entire group. The owner Jon was in house and came by to check on our group and make sure all was going as planned. Thanks Jon, manager Stuart and the rest of the OHSO team for taking good care of us. It's great to see a small business owner so caring and conscientious of his customer's needs. On our way out, we picked up a few FREE peanut butter doggie cookies at the host station. OHSO is dog friendly, I'd love to bring our dogs for a visit, but they're a bit too nuts for the laid back environment. Thanks again OHSO for a lovely evening. My BFF lives down the street so we will be back.

I've been to Ohso numerous times and always generally enjoy it but it's not usually my first choice because their vegetarian options are very limited. I love beer, bikes, dogs, and good patios though so in most regards it's my style. Last night, I had a very poor experience here. I always order either kale and pear salad or the veggie burger (because as mentioned there are really no other veg options), last night I had the kale and pear. It was 98% wilted arugula and maybe 2 pieces of kale. The service was also quite poor. They're always busy so the service is never great. I will think twice before going back there for a while. Also, order sweet potato fries, the regular ones have a particular quality similar to cardboard.
(3)Kuorosh F.
You have to experience this place to find out for yourself what all the "RU-HA" is all about! The place has great food, great live entertainment, and great selection of Micro-Brews on tap!
(5)Sarah S.
OHSO has always been the neighborhood hangout I get most excited about-- the amazing beer selection, delicious food, and unbeatable patio atmosphere have always rocketed it to the top of my list. Little did I know a week ago that my love for OHSO could grow even more! Last week, one of my medical student classmates suggested a class get together at Postino's. Since it was a transitional week in medical school, we all had an very forgiving schedule-- So our dinner group quickly grew to 21. Postino's said there was no way they could seat even 10, nonetheless 21. We panicked and started brainstorming other places that might be able to squeeze us in. I suggested my favorite place, OHSO, and called just a couple of hours before dinner to see if I could make a reservation. The hostess had no problem taking my reservation. When we arrived, we had a whole room to ourselves, with our own private patio. There were 21 glasses of water waiting for us, and the waiter successfully managed all of our split checks. I ordered my favorite drink-- St. Louis Framboise, and then tried the Arizona Burger for the first time. I have always heard good things, but have been working my way through OHSO's menu, and just hadn't tried this option yet. The Arizona Burger was unbelievable. Hands down the best burger I've had in Phoenix. I had always loved OHSO's food, but the Arizona Burger, with it's jalapenos and cream cheese, has taken first place on my list. Every single person absolutely loved OHSO and I think it became a favorite food/beer destination for all of them! I was thrilled that such a popular place could be so accommodating and tolerant of large groups. Way to go, OHSO!!
(5)C.K. L.
Great place to go to for happy hour and cheap food/drinks. Parking might be an issue if you go at their peak times. You might have to park your car at the nearby Safeway lots and walk over. Great service and delicious food/drinks, can't go wrong with it.
(4)Kimberly M.
I really like O.H.S.O. Made sure that we got here in time for happy hour and to get a place on the patio. Walking in there are doggie treats for free, should you have a doggie! The smell of pretzels, I am assuming, wafts thru the place and gives you the want for a large pretzel and beer. Free valet and friendly hops to take your ride away. The pitchers of any Arizona brews are $6 ... Good price on the smaller pitcher for two and a good way to get a sampling without too much of a commitment. COULD have been alot colder. Nothing worse than beer that isn't icy.. in my opinion, at least. We started with apps of the hh smaller bites. I loved the pretzel and cheese dip/fondue. Could have given me a warm pitcher of that! We also had the OHSO Green Chile Dip ..not a thing wrong with it and the yucca chips are a treat. I'm a fan with the exception of the beer not icy thing and letting my water go dry. Picky picky! But a huge offering of brews on a nice patio is a good, good thing!
(4)Kristin Z.
My boyfriend took me here for drinks after our first dinner date together. It has been his and many of his good friend's spot since they recently discovered it earlier this year. I am a HUGE fan of this place! Delicious food, great selection of beer, lots of seating, the back patio is great for game days and brunch. They have brunch specials which sometimes (if not always?) come with a complimentary mimosa or breakfast beer. Very dog friendly. Lots of bikers, hikers, etc. come here. Great staff! My favorite mixed drink is the Moscow Mule with extra ginger made just right is to die for! It's my boyfriend and I's go-to-spot. MUST TRY!
(5)Chris W.
Great back patio on a sunny day. Super dog friendly -- water bowls, dog treats, and welcoming staff, so our labrador was a comfortable part of our dining party. Chill atmosphere, very friendly (if a tad disjointed) service, good beer list, and we really liked our dishes (veggie burger and chile verde pork tacos). I'll come back without a doubt.
(4)Pancho Pantera ..
I just can't get enough of this place. Every time I come it gets better and better. This last time I went on a IPA frenzy. Dragoon IPA 7.3 abv slightly bitter with a wonderful aroma Good Vibrations 7.2 abv citrous hop notes with a caramel taste. OSHO IPA also tried a couple of 2oz tasters for a buck or two Appetizer; Shrimp ceviche was surprisingly delicious. Plenty of juices, a good lemon/tomato balance and plenty of chips. Dinner: I want to come back not just for the beer but the AZ Burger. The combination of cream cheese/poblano aioli is mouthwatering. The only thing I didn't like was not enough fries love them thin and crispy.
(5)Karn H.
Need I say more? Some times it's so busy and the staff is great but it's not a quick stop! That's a good thing hang and stay!

There are some places that are hard to review because they are bad. There are others that are difficult to review because there's just not much to say that hasn't been said before or otherwise. And then there are the places that are hard to review because you like them so much and they deliver time and time again and mere words just won't serve as proper adulation for such revered establishments. OHSO, if you couldn't guess, falls into the third category. My most recent experience at this restaurant solidified my love for this place. OHSO let's/teaches/enables you to brew your own beer and then serves it to eager/unsuspecting customers. For a mere $50 and plenty of time ahead, you and a few friends get a private brewing lesson/walkthrough and actually end up creating your own batch of drinkable beer. Our brewmaster instructor, Dave, was as good as we could've asked for. Knowledgeable and personable, he taught us so much in the few hours we spent brewing an IPA. If you have any interest in brewing our own beer or not, this is a great experience that everyone should try. And that's only tip of the icerberg when it comes to this place. Here are a few other highlights: - Dog-friend patio - Killer menu (breakfast flatbreads are a personal favorite) - Beer beer and more beeeeeeer And as a staunch supporter of the local economy, OHSO is always encouraging patrons to drink as much AZ beer as possible. So if you haven't been here already, bump this place up to the top of your list of places to try next.

M and I came here for a Sunday brunch to get caught up with the latest and greatest. We opted to sit in the patio. It was a nice and warm day. The patio is doggy friendly!!! That is cool. I would love to bring my dogs, but I think I will eat the other (small) dogs for brunch. =) They have a great brunch menu but I opted for the Grilled Chicken Pie flatbread (it was calling my name) and a side of french fries. M ordered the biscuits & beer gravy for $10 includes your choice of a 10oz AZ beer. The flatbread was so good. Flavorful, light thin bread, and baked to perfection. M's biscuits and beer gravy was very good too. Why 4 stars? The service was good but slow.
(4)Aida R.
I bring all my dates here! LOL. You cant go wrong with amazing beers to woo the boys, and for us ladies, they have the best mimosas, sangrias, and cocktails! I love the Arcadia and the 48th St Fizz. Flatbread pizzas are amazing and you cant go wrong with the classic Burger & Cheese! The staff is amazing, very knowledgaeblw of all the beers and give great suggestions. But what I love the most is the back patio! Might be too hot in the summer, but for 9 months out of the year, it is the place to be! Bring your dog, your bike, and your date- for a night of great suds and grubs!
(5)Diane H.
Great beer, great food, great atmosphere! What more could you want? Oh, great service too :)

I visited O.H.S.O for the first time on Sunday, meeting some friends for brunch. We sat outside on the patio. They have lots of umbrellas available so there is plenty of shade. Their brunch menu is not huge but they have a list of items all for $10 and it includes a beer or a mimosa so not a bad deal. I ordered the breakfast pizza which was a flatbread with eggs, cheese, chorizo and arugula. The portion was large - I ended up bringing half of it home with me. The mimosa was a good size too - it was served in a wine glass, not just a skimpy champagne flute. The breakfast pizza had a really great flavor and was a nice lighter breakfast, even with the chorizo - I didn't feel weighed down afterwards. I tried a bite of my friend's French toast, too. It was good but really sweet. I was glad I had the pizza. The wait staff was friendly but not super attentive. My friend had to ask three times to get a refill on her water. But other than that, everything was great and I would definitely go back.

For some reason, I've been giving a lot of 3 stars to 4+ places on yelp and this one's another on the list. It's more a 3.5 for me but I'm rounding down for service. Stopped by for brunch and it was seat yourself. OK, that's fine...but it shouldn't take too long for someone to notice we're sitting without food menus or to be offered water at least. After our food came out, we weren't checked on until we were done eating. Tip: don't sit at the high-tops right behind the bar unless you want the bartenders on the other side to be screaming (inadvertently) into your ear. Prices ($10) are fine for brunch and include a mimosa or 10oz AZ beer. I think the food portions are smaller to compensate though, and I'd rather have more food without a drink if not in the mood for alcohol. Food matched the price...looked and tasted like it was precooked and scooped onto my plate a la Chipotle. It was not bad though. I'd come back with more people during happy hour to try more of their beer selections. Probably pass on food unless something looked really good as it passed by.
(3)Chris B.
I absolutely love this place. The food is great. The beer is great. The atmosphere is really cool too. Two thumbs way up! And they have a pet-friendly patio.
(5)David D.
We came in after a long week of work thirsty for a beer. Well we were lucky enough to sit next to Josh, one of the brew masters. Josh made us feel like kings sitting in our barstool thrones. He even went out back and brought us a sample of the prickly pair beer straight out of the barrel. It was truly a unique experience to try this beer especially when they went out to the dessert and picked the prickly pears themselves.
(5)Lottie M.
Awesome place. Great vibe. Enjoyed my company. Enjoy my food enjoyed the five Mary relaxing and comfortable.
(5)Foodie B.
It's my new favorite place in Arizona. I love the bicycle part decor and the super dog friendly patio. O.S.H.O. is awesome not just for the good food, but also they have dog treats and dog bowls for water. Now to the awesome food. Their Mac Del Mar is soooo good. Melty cheese and juicy shrimp and bacon is a fantastic combo, though the crab could have been chunkier. Their bbq burger is juicy with the best burger bun Ive had. The bun is fresh, fluffy, and tasty. Their other dishes I've tried are good too, but these two dishes are the most memorable. And of course the drinks are yummy. I'm not a big fan of beer, but their pumpkin and apple ciders are sweet and light.

Update: A week after my last visit described below, I decided to give OHSO a chance to fix things. Kathy The Incredible Bartender listened to my story, apologized and fixed the growler mistake. Kudos to her and OHSO for hiring her. This is more like the OHSO I'm used to. Original review: Have been going to OHSO for years, but the last couple visits were disappointments. Most recently, we sat outside in the front for the delightful February afternoon. It was 2ish, so the restaurant was busy, but not packed. The music on the front patio roared. The four of us had a selection of different beers and entrees. The entree portions were smaller than usual and just OK for taste. When the waiter brought two apple pies for dessert, he noticed our looks and said "They're kind of small, so I'll take care of one for you." Didn't happen -- both appeared on the bill. Worst of all, we ordered two growlers of Orange Blossom to take home which we later found to be something totally different. A weird experience which wasn't like the OHSO I used to know, but seemingly more typical of recent visits. I'll give it a pass for awhile and see if they straighten out.

Love Steven. Such a good server we will always ask for him every time we come to ohso!

I was there this last Sunday...I live right down the street, and I love the different bars and restaurants in my area. We decided to check out OHSO for the first time. We were promptly seated on the patio, and it was beautiful......And we sat and waited, and waited, and waited. I even asked a staff member if he was our server, his response was, "Probably not" , and walked off. After waiting nearly 15 minutes , and watching the staff walk by numerous times we decided to leave. The place looks bomb, and I am sure it is great, if you can get service.

Eat at home and come here for a great beer selection. Food looks good online but is disappointing to say the least.

After being an avid fan of Four Peaks for so long, I was at first skeptical about O.H.S.O. However, it has won my heart! It is now one of my all time favorite places to go to take a buddy and hang out for a while. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. I love the Arizona Burger! I can eat cream cheese and poblano aoili from the burger with just a spoon! The brunch specials are amazing as well. Where else can you grab a beer and a tasty filling meal for 10 bucks? It also helps I can get my favorite beers here- Almost all Four Peaks taps, Papago Brewing Orange Blossom, and Sonoran Brewing White Chocolate Ale! So kudos to you, O.H.S.O! Keep up the great work! I also look forward to your new restaurant.
(5)Heidi G.
My new favorite place. When we arrived there was a wait but we were able to find a seat at the bar to grab a few drinks. Service was phenomenal and their beers were fantastic. They also had a nice selection of other AZ beers. Food was phenomenal! I had the shrimp tacos and my fiancé had the beef brisket. Both were fantastic! On our way out they had some homemade treats for our dog children. I can't wait to go back!
(5)Amanda H.
I looove the dog friendly patio right on the canal but that's basically the only reason we go here. (That and the fact that it's close to home!) The food is mediocre and inconsistent on quality and the beer list is good but not great. You can find better food and beer at Angel's Trumpet downtown which also has a dog friendly patio so we have started to go there more often. I'm sure I'll be back to ohso but I would definitely be more excited about it if they would step up the menu quality - especially for the prices they charge.

We were visiting from Portland and found this place. It has such a cool vibe and supports local home brewers by allowing them to brew and sell their creations. Great front patio and hip inside followed by an awesome patio that allows dogs. Outdoor patio also has several large tv's for sports. We came here for the beer and ended up having an excellent meal. This isn't your standard bar food. You can taste that the salad dressing is hand made and their beef is high quality in the burgers. Pulled pork had great spicy flavor. Oh and the French fries are extra special. Good prices and above average quality. We enjoyed the re-use of old bicycles to decorate. Must visit place if you like micro brew.
(4)Manny B.
I was in town for spring training and I decided to check out a local spot that was kid friendly. Man, am I glad I stopped by here. The food was excellent, pitchers of beer were a steal at $6. It was too cheap not to get seconds....haa.. As much as I loved this place though, I loved the family and dog friendly atmosphere more than anything else.. Great place. I would love to see something similar to this our in Los Angeles... Cheers!!
(5)Dawn W.
My experience while at O.H.S.O. was mediocre from the time I walked in the door until the time I left. A bit pricey for the service and food, I don't know if I would go back. Here's my story if anyone wants to hear it.... The nicest people in (outside) the joint were the valet boys. Funny and charismatic, those poor boys standing in 110 degree heat were the liveliest employees we saw. We stepped through the doors to the front desk, which I assumed was the hostess, and we stood. The hostess and I awkwardly looked at each other for a few seconds. Seriously at least 10 seconds went by. Long enough for me to think "maybe I went to the wrong place, maybe she has forgotten that SHE works here, so I asked, "are you the hostess?" She uncomfortably said yes, as if she was confused why I asked, and asked how many were in my party. While being seated I asked my fellow diner, "was I being sensitive or was that the most awkward hostess experience ever?" It was agreed that she must have had a mini-stroke just as we walked in. We were seated and asked about what OHSO beers were on tap. Apparently there weren't any. A nano-brewery has no beers. Maybe the hostess drank it all, and that is what was wrong with her? Apparently they had a beer tasting a few days before and had been out of beer ever since. So we tried a few others, cant remember the names, but both were dark beers and delicious. Oh well, I have had OHSO beers before at a tasting and didn't love them. The waitress was friendly enough, but had just started her shift and was a little slow, but the other waitresses seemed to pick up her slack and we never wanted for anything but our food. We ordered our food. Ceviche, cheese pizza, and pastrami sandwich with sweet potato fries. Nearly 45 minutes later we got it. The ceviche was a small bowl of deliciously fresh ceviche topped with a lot of avocado. I have never had ceviche that hasn't been made in a Mexican restaurant or home, so I am partial to a big bowl of real Mexican ceviche and for $12 I felt there could have been more. Especially since the chips they served with it were VERY stale and after sending them back we were brought tortilla chips so greasy that the grease made them soggy by the end of the meal. The cheese pizza was for my 10 year old and she loved it- 1st time she has ever finished an adult meal at a restaurant. The pastrami was good too, but also so greasy that it made the bun wet. The sweet potato fries were the best part of the meal, which meant that I had to share them with the rest of the table. I may have yelled at everyone to stop eating my food. In all, our bill came out to nearly $60 plus tip for 3 of us, which included 2 beers. Side note: We went to the bathroom after our meal, (I know TMI,) and there was a bunch of flies in there. Wouldn't be as big of a deal IF there were windows, but there weren't. It smelled and looked like an outdoor bathroom full of filth and dirtiness. And seriously, how did a dozen flies end up inside an indoor bathroom with no windows? This is a dog friendly place that apparently has a back entrance and a patio for dog lovers. Not my cup of tea, even though I have 4 dogs, so I like that they have a separate entrance.

Loving the Tucson beers on tap (Dragoon & Borderlands). Also loving the chorizo & potato flatbread. I was scared there'd be too much potato but was happy to find out it didn't overwhelm the flatbread. Extra points for the arugula sprinkled on top. Can't wait to come back.
(4)Chuck F.
As you may have read the "tip", you already know our experience was one of the saddest we have had since moving to the valley. So much so, that I created this yelp account just to express how terrible it was. Is the food good?? Don't know. It never arrived after waiting 30 minutes for a burrito. Is the beer (hefe) good? No. At least the first 10oz weren't. Never had waiter come back to try anything else. Poor service reflects poor management("louie" sp?), very pricey and in no way a brewery in my eyes. Steer clear and try Sun Up brewery instead! Waaay better beer, food, and outstanding service! Might give osho another shot someday when I'm not hungry or thirsty or have something to do or awake. Hope this helps fellow yelpers! Oh ya and if you're a blonde stripper/escort driving a fancy Mercedes you'll get valet to park it right at the door, priority order service, and skip the valet wait line at pick up! Now that's a classy joint! UPDATE...... Contacted by actual manager ,the day after posting, seeking resolution. That's a big deal in my book! Looking forward to returning and giving OHSO another try. Stay tuned for the next update..

I've been to OHSO several times now and each time our service has been horrendous. First time-sub par Second time-we left because no one had paid any attention to us in the 30 minutes we sat on the patio. Third time-thought I would give it another try when my dad asked where I wanted to meet him for dinner. I was embarrassed at my recommendation at the end of the night due to our poor service. We had incorrect orders, empty water glasses, slow service all around. Bottom line-the food is decent(the burger was great but everything else just eh), the location is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. However the poor service makes me not want to go back. Ever.
(1)Joel G.
GF and I walked over for dinner. I had pork tacos she had steak tacos. We also ordered a cheese plate. The food was as good as ever, maybe could have been a little hotter from oven. We took a while to decide on drinks but finally settled on the mixed ones. I know the beer aficionados will cringe, because this place has an awesome selection of craft brews...we just felt like something different. If you like dogs, you will love this place. We sat on the back patio. Service was so-so but they were very busy so we understood. So, if you bring your dog and don't like others feeding it, be warned...I saw it happen a few times behind the owners back.
(4)Jordan W.
I hate to write bad reviews. Ohso has soooo many pros: great patio, typically top notch service for a beer bar, dog-friendly, excellent beer selection, great Arcadia location. But I've been to Ohso dozens of times and their food is simply not good. I cannot go to Ohso hungry anymore... Sure I could drink more beer but It shouldn't be that hard to have something appetizing aside from the Ohso Green Chile dip! Especially as a beer guy, I hate to write this but don't go to Ohso if you want to eat even decent food. Nothing on the menu is worth eating.
(2)Melissa H.
Fun place for a few beers. Don't come hungry. The food is not amazing. (I'm hoping with time it'll get a little more inspired) The plus side is that you won't offend any timid friends with scary foods, its your predictable cheese boards and flat breads. Its just that it wasn't great....uninspired perhaps? Do come for the beer. Although a few of the more interesting beers that were listed were sold out on the day we visited, there were plenty more beers to peak everyone's interest. The prices for the beer were reasonable, the food meh. Service was okay. Not the servers fault, they were just really busy and working out kinks I think. I'm sure it'll get better as the weeks progress. The music however was great. A good mix of kicky (but not standard) 80s music (think Pet Shop Boys and not George Michael) along with some fun newer alternative music. Great locationk parking is going to be tricky, I suspect eventuallly they'll just put in a valet. The interior is a lot of fun and comfy set ups for folks almost like a Vig patio setting indoors.
(3)Jennifer W.
Great restaurant/bar. Lots of their own brews. Great beer selection. They even had a cider for me! I'm not a huge fan of beer, but cider beer is great! Everyone at my table seemed to like the beers that they had. I came with party of 10-12 people and they were able to get us a table. We went on a Tuesday and they had happy hour until 6 p.m. They weren't offering any food specials. But, they had specials on pitchers of beer. I ordered the fish and chips. It was three huge pieces of Mahi and fries. Delicious, but too much for me to eat. The flatbread pizzas looked delicious. I definitely want to go back again and maybe try one of their flavored beers and a pizza. :)
(5)Joey A.
Very nice place with an awesome beer selection and tasty foods. The AZ burger was as good as the server said it would be. Hard to find parking for dinner because it was so packed but valet was complimentary at least. Not much of a night scene but great for an early evening.
(4)Katie C.
Cant believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Went with a friend for beer brunch during AZ Beer week. The food was sooo good and the drinks just the same (meal + beer/mimosa was $10). What draws me more to this place is the front loungy area and the back patio. SO cute but gets super crowded. Theres a water station for dogs and a trail behind it for bikers/runners to take a mini pit stop before heading back home/to the mall. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Queen R.
Went here again for the Sunday $15 All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Special from 3pm-7pm. Let me tell you it was NOT that special... Ribs were over cooked and dry, like chewing on beef jerky. The brisket is pulled & had a vinegar awful sauce. It's placed on a slice of white bread. The chicken leg & thigh had that same awful sauce. The cornbread though was excellent. Potato salad & coleslaw were alright. Our waiter was friendly & the service was good.
(2)Irene V.
I live nearby and kept meaning to pop-in. When I finally did I wanted to smack myself for waiting so long. Relaxed vibe no matter the time of day you come. (Fair warning: If you come alone during happy hour the pick-up lines will make you laugh.) You can't beat their happy hour AND the diversity of brews offered is killer. The bar area up front has an assortment of seating styles. Couches, booths and standing tables are mixed together which lends itself to conversation. The inside restaurant seems family friendly enough, but I've not sat there. But what I love, love, love is the back patio! There are booths, which are perfect for dates and groups, along the back. (We comfortably sat a group of five.) The bar is super neat as you're not just facing the bartenders. If you wanted to this is a spot to readily start a new conversation. Oh, but the food. I just enjoyed my burrito as a leftover for breakfast. Sunday they offer $10 meals with a 10 oz beer (or mimosa). There was a long list to choose from. I couldn't pick as there were waaay too many delightful things to pick from. Our super awesome server helped me triage and I ended up with a burrito that came with strawberries. YUM. Seriously. This morning I was too lazy to warm it up. Awesome. I've also enjoyed a flatbread BBQ chicken pizza - messy - but good stuff. I absolutely adore that this place carries a porter beer. (Even though we're in oven hot summer.) Thank you O.H.S.O.! Last thing - and this totally made me laugh yesterday. The valets were totally serious. I rode up in my bike and they would have valet'd my bicycle for me. "If I asked nice." These guys are always super nice when I drop off a car. I love them. Well, I love everyone on the staff too. Which is why coming here is such a nice experience.

So, as I have a Facebook page titled TheBikingBrewer, I figured the bicycle-themed brewery OHSO would be a slam dunk... but, actually, it was more like an air ball. First and foremost, the quality of their beers are well below average (I'm Certified with BJCP). The place itself was super crowded - too crowded - with minimal parking and then a 40 minute wait on a Tuesday. We went to the back bar which was again crowded, with people and more dogs than I've ever seen in a public place other than at a dog park. Our drinks took forever to come and after one tasting flight of the entire list of amateurish beers my girlfriend and I left. No need to ever return.
(2)Maria M.
Parking sucks, but you'll get over it due to their delicious burgers and beer! I would come weekly but live too far away. I come for the Sweet Chili burger or the spiciest burger ever... AZ burger! Truly delicious.
(5)Marissa D.
Best beers on tap anywhere. Always a good selection. Food is top notch. Beer and brunch is great. Huge breakfast with a beer or mimosa for $10. The back patio is amazing. Dog friendly and nice this time of year. Backs up to camelback for an amazing view and the canal which you can ride along. Make sure to take your growler with you to take home your favorite beer
(5)Rachel T.
Here's the scene: First weekend of October. Sunday. 11am - Time for brunch. The brat breakfast and a mimosa are a good start for 2 of 4 in our party. The other 2 folks get the bacon flatbread with a frosty AZ beer and never look back on their decision. 12pm - Time for a pitcher of mimosas. Our dog has decided she'd rather sit with the booth behind us. Be free, Little One, they don't mind. But, you're still tethered to the leash of love. 1pm - Football starts or continues. Who knows/cares? The shade umbrellas are up, misters on, fans are a spinnin'. This is when I love OHSO the most. Every day is like a neighborhood block party on the patio. We better get another pitcher. 2pm - We are getting hungry again. Yogurt and granola sound mighty healthy and refreshing. Nope. Well, sort of. But still, let's also order fries. And sweet potato fries. 2:45pm - Still hungry. Did we really think yogurt and french fries would satisfy the 4 of us? It's almost time for the Backyard BBQ to start. Bring more drinks, please. 3pm - BBQ Time!!! Round #1 is gone in the blink of an eye. Any server within arms reach of our table is now at risk of being grabbed by saucy fingers. We need more ribs! And cornbread! 5pm - Our server is like part of the family as we say goodbye and head home smiling and full. Great day!
(5)Andie S.
Like the large local beer list, and love how dog friendly it is! I will go again the next time I'm in Phoenix :)
(4)Lisa V.
This is a fun place. All the action is happening on the patio outback. You get to bring your dogs! this is good if you like dogs. The atmosphere is one of the key highlights. The back patio is lined with bicycles which also act as fans. The Decour is also one of the highlights. I had the breakfast bowl for brunch. The brunches are tasty and priced right. For $10 you gets a breakfast entrée and a 10 ounce beer or a Mimosa. My breakfast bowl was a little on the dry side, I should've asked for more salsa which was my fault that I didn't ask. Otherwise I rate this place a five for great food and great atmosphere.
(5)Matthew L.
Love the feel of this place. I highly recommend hitting it up after a good Saturday night for their Sunday brunch. Nothing like a bit of the hair of the dog to get you back on track. The food is good and fresh and the beer is always cold and refreshing. Bring the dog for a fun time. Mine loves the spent grain from the brewing process biscuits.
(5)Jane F.
great local spot, a hidden gem if you will. great place to bring the dogs, menu is decently priced and the food is delicious. not to mention the service, fantastic. i have every intention or returning. well done!
(5)Hydro W.
This place is typical what Arcadia dining is about these days. The atmosphere is great with the patio but the food and service is not good at all. At least they are busy and people like to be seen.
(2)Elyse R.
This place had a really nice back patio...and I even enjoyed it on an 108 degree day due to the misters all around. The layout was great. The beer and pulled pork were amazing! The service at the outdoor bar was hilarious/pathetic...the bartenders were seriously tuned out and either forgot to offer us napkins/silverware or kept asking if we were done every 4 minutes...we also found it amusing as the one bartender who had been there since we sat down--and who also helped us--looked over at our friends and said, "do you need a drink or a menu?" And we were like, "uh no actually were leaving we were here the whole time." lol....overall though everything was delicious and the dog friendly environment on the patio is a huge perk!! Loved the pups!! And anywhere that accepts dogs as well as people is def alright in my book.
(4)B F.
It's nice to see a place dedicated to beer. I'm reserving my complete review for when this place actually becomes a brewery - I'm certainly hoping they will continue to shine. That said, the selection of all things drink-wise is quite impressive. I'd say I hope they rotate in some beers and out others, but the choices are so vast that they truly don't need to do that (but I hope they keep up with the vast options). Even as brewery, it would be nice to have so many choices if you weren't feeling a specific drink. Tons of delicious choices on the food menu as well. I love that there are everything from nibbles to full blown meals. Prices right in line with the other establishments in the area. It's right along the multi-use canal path, so it could make a great place to stop in for a drink (and food) after a ride around town. I can't wait to visit OHSO more often.
(4)Courtney G.
LOVE this place! I've only sat on the patio- which is very nice and right on the canal. It's very dog friendly with water bowls and free treats provided! Really good hamburgers too.
(5)Cora B.
I love this place - great food & great atmosphere! They have yummy salad and FANTASTIC Blackened Salmon Tacos. Dog friendly. Bike friendly. Good tunes. Parking is a pain, but they have complimentary valet. Totally recommend!
(5)Lori P.
Went here for a business meeting, loved the outdoor seating and ambiance. It was a very fun location be. Unfortunately I was sick from another restaurant, so couldn't eat or drink here. Hopefully next time I'm in Phoenix I can visit and enjoy more than just the atmosphere.
(4)Jay L.
To park here you must valet, or walk a mile, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Was harassed by two different workers within two min about parking in the medical plaza adjacent to their establishment. I am simply trying to eat at their location and give them money and they are making life hard for a paying customer. Took my business else where and will continue to until this is corrected. A customer that wants to give a company business should not have their life made hard simply due to their valet service. Would be giving zero stars if that was a option.
(1)Kirsten Z.
The whole dog prints everywhere and dog treats at the front, made me pretty hesitant, I mean dogs and food together?? Weird. However, I didn't see a single dog there, mind you it was Friday night. We were able to get a table for four quickly with no problem. I really enjoyed the atmosphere it's very homey and cozy and not too fancy. The food and drinks came quickly and our server was awesome. My friend and I each ordered some ohso brews. Mine, the white elephant was super hoppy so I didn't like it and it never said that it would be in the description. My friend got the groovy and it was watery tasting, yuck! To eat, I had the brisket which was great! The crunchy onions and sauce just make it. My friend who also ordered the brisket, had her bun come out burnt. It's not that hard to toast a bun dudes... Our other friends had the chicken sandwich and they said it was awesome. I would come here again, despite the dogs but next time I'll stick to water!
(4)Chandra J.
OHSO is such an amazing place with amazing food. I have been here a couple of times and I am planning on going back again soon. The food selection, service, and their dedication to the community are outstanding. The first time I went I tried several of their beers/ciders and the waitress was so friendly, knowledgeable, and patient regarding our selection. They have an awesome selection of local beers--the only sad thing is it changes often, so if you really like a beer/cider you better get two or three because you might not see it again. It is great that they have $1 tasters, so you can try as many as your heart desires. For our entrée my friend and I shared their Kalua Pork--it was so tender, juicy, and sweet--I would have licked the plate if I could. For dessert we had their amazing caramel apple pie. This past time I had their Spicy Pulled Pork and French fries out on their patio--the pork was very juicy and sweet--unfortunately it was a little too juicy as the bread became very soggy and it was hard to eat, but it was still wonderful. Like I said I plan on coming back here again particularly on a Sunday for their $10 beer and brunch. OHSO is definitely a wonderful and fun find.
(5)Holly C.
Decided to come for their Sunday brunch after a long hike. It can be a long wait, but it's worth being able to eat outside with your furry friend. $10 is a great deal for a glass of mimosa (or beer) & they are generous with the pour. The Garden flat pizza and Breakfast flat bread were both good. If you haven't tried OHSO yet with your pet, you definitely should!
(4)Trish G.
This place is amazing. It's a beautiful Saturday morning or sitting out here having a wonderful breakfast dogs next to us and it's packed in here. Did I mention that they have really good mimosas?
(5)Kamryn C.
I really liked O.H.S.O. My friend and I came in on a Monday for lunch, and had our pick of the patio. Pitchers of beer were half off, and they have a great selection of local and non-local brews. Our server was incredibly attentive. We split the green chile dip to start, and it was awesome. We literally devoured it to the last drop. The housemade veggie burger was good as well, and didn't fall apart which is a complaint I have about most veggie burgers. All, in all a great place. Nice patio and good beer and food? A new Phoenix favorite.
(4)Gregg W.
Being an out of towner, and one who digs on the local scene, it was a pleasure finding OHSO! I mean what's not to like about nano-brewery beer right? 1st off - great service... we had a party of 19... no "OMG face from the manager / hostess" - nothing but... "No prob... we got this!" - Waitstaff was off the charts friendly & efficient... definitely added to the experience. Menu is small plates, big plates, flatbreads, salads & something you almost never see on menus... Arepas... After a couple of 6% alcohol content "Kilt-lifters"... it was time to chow down. Feeding a herd of 19 buzzed semi-mature but hungry men is no easy task. I had the beet salad & the shrimp taco small plate... Small plate? It was 5 tortillas and a whole lot of shrimp cooked to perfection... awesome! The others dined on ribs, pulled pork & pastrami... amongst other things... not one negative among the chosen chow... Interesting mix of locals and hipsters... I guess the bird-shit covered maserati belonged to one of the local posers? Perhaps... but for the most part, a fun, easy going crowd who were there for the food... and the mostly, the beer... A definitely must try in the AZ
(4)Sian R.
LOVE THIS PLACE. Went to OHSO on date lunch with my husband, it was fantastic. Beer choice was just awesome and even managed to find a new favorite cider . I had the steak tacos and my husband had the shrimp. Both plates were just great superb flavor and plenty, the presentation was really good and just made you ant to go back again. Can't wait for a return visit
(5)Jon B.
We discovered this place in the current Phoenix magazine today. The place has a great look outside, upon arriving and inside was just as pleasant. It has a great patio out back but goodluck finding it. I read that one is to follow the Paw prints on the floor...could not find the Paw prints and had to ask for directions. I did like that they provide Dog biscuits and water out back. We sat down starving, when our very friendly server, Hillary, immediately arrived to welcome us. Being our first time, we were eager to hear about the food but she completely assumed we were there to just drink. Are you pushing the brew here folks or the food? At least ask us why we are there first before you go on and on about the beer. We started out with the Garlic hummus, which was good but it came out rather quickly. I question whether it was freshly made or from Cisco Foods. The cucumbers that came with it, were dried out, gross and rubbery. My partner ordered the Green chili stew Tacos and I had the Barbecue hamburger. Both were ok..it's above average, Bar food and need improvement. One of the tacos had a big piece of gristle. Don't you check your meat chef before you send it out? Complete lack of focus and concern for the quality of the food being sent out. You might not care for my review but if you care about your brand and what you represent...not just your brewery...you will take our first visit review seriously. I know this may sound harsh but I must remain honest. People may come for great brew but they also for great food.
(3)Kari R.
Love this place! It totally reminds me of my favorite bars back in Austin, TX. It's very indie and eclectic - definitely has its own vibe! Very nice patios in each the front and back and well as delicious food! I definitely recommend checking it out!
(5)DR W.
Ask for the hostess with the mostess Kristin !! . You will love this business - great vibe and good mix of locals!! Excellent beer selection love the local brew micro brews!! Fog City #1 Good vibrations #1A

Beer brunch? I don't mind if I do. Great food great local/national beer with bartenders who know what beer really is all about...and even how to mix beers. Great gravy. BTW bring your dog.
(5)john C.
I was not happy with the bad service and then asked what beer might match my favorite beer and i got a very wrong choice by the staff, then asked to try another beer for $1, wow that's wrong. Then my friend ordered a simple Sam Adams and it was either bad beer or tapped to a wrong keg (either way still tasted bad). Not a good showing and wished it could have been better. I will try back in 6 months and see if they have oiled the process out to be better. A word of advice, if you have 40 some taps of beer your staff better know them, go look at yard house....
(2)Johl J.
Large beer selection and a great food. There is also a big patio out back to enjoy the milder months.
(5)Jason C.
It was a great meal. Love the beers. Think this place has a few kinks to work out on their menu. But welcome to the Arcadia hood we look forward to you succeeding!
(5)Mike C.
We went to O.H.S.O. for a company get together. I had a couple of different beers - they were very strong in flavor but I actually prefer MGD on tap over all of these expensive beers. I also had The Jensen - sort of a Margarita. I liked it a lot - it was different than most Margaritas. I had The Brisket - wow! Excellent flavor and a great value. Their fries taste like they are cooked in beef fat - they are so good I couldn't stop eating mine and any that were left over by anyone else. Mmmmmm.

I recently tried OHSO. Nice layout and design... modern and casual. Their menu features cheese and charcuterie plates, flatbreads, burgers, and other comfort-style dishes. I had the grilled cheese with a cup of tomato soup. The tomato soup reminded me of pepperoni pizza, which was strange at first but actually pretty good. It was the perfect order for a chilly, rainy day. The 48th Street Fizz (orange vodka, pineapple, lemon, st. germaine, and beer) was sweet, but tasty (love cocktails with carbonation). They have an extensive list of local and regional beers. Overall, it's a nice little neighborhood spot.

Great beer selection for all people! Love all the microbrews on tap. Good food too!
(5)Zachary M.
Brisket sandwich to die for! Excellent beer selection! Id dine here again definitely

I have eaten at OSHO since it first opened. My girlfriend and her adorable children love the food and my gf the beer. I am not much of drinker but do like to partake in the sweet nectar of an occasional malty beer. My review is not really based on the libations but more so on the food. The food really varies in terms of its quality on a continuous basis. The menu really never has changed and especially the side dishes. I am waiting for the day when the sides change from the current five or six choice. I am a vegan and I always get the vegan burger. I wish there were more choices for vegans but as like most eateries in this meat loving town there are not. If I was a beer lover I would give OSHO five stars but I am not so I can only rate the food. After being open more than a year I would love to see the food upgraded, be more consistent and vary with new menu choices.

I really like this place. Went on a hot Saturday afternoon just looking for drinks and a bite. We sat on the patio, had excellent service, and pretty good food! I had a veggie burger and hubby had the gnocchi, both were very good! Highly recommend!!!
(4)Ryan G.
Love this place! I went in for brunch and had a tasty Churrasco Steak and Eggs. This was a great menu item cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed a flight of different beers that they brewed in house. The O.H.S.O. Grovey was my favorite. I usually don't like orange in a beer however this brew tasted amazing! The Happy IPA was also really gwwooooood!
(4)Josh To The S.
Best spot for hard to find local AZ brew!!! They also have a very cool Nano brew setup that every homebrewer would kill to have! Good food, good atmosphere, and enough bikes on the patio to start your own hipster bicycle gang.
(5)Jared C.
Went there today and sat at a table that was reserved in about an hour and ten min from when we got there. The first thing the waiter said was "you know you only have an hour right". Very rude first impression. He barely talked to us the whole time. I ordered a cheese burger medium cooked and it came out cooked fine but there was an inch long gross red bloody spot on the bottom bun that was soggy. I'll post a pic if I can. Told him they shouldn't serve food like that and he said ok as he walked away and never said sorry or anything. I will never go back.
(1)Brandon B.
My favorite place to drink in Arcadia...or maybe in Arizona. Great beer list (rotating), great atmosphere (as long as you're on the back patio or near the front. Middle of the restaurant? Not so much. I didn't like the old food/menu, but it seems they upgraded and I hear good reviews about the food now. A great place to ride your bike as well and extremely dog friendly.
(5)Adam B.
Great atmosphere for groups and two large patios not to mention a killer pitcher happy hour. Parking is super limited and valet only on busy evenings, though parking is available on the street in the neighborhood directly across the street. My only gripe was the low quality of the cocktails I had, maybe its my fault for ordering an old fashioned at a brewery but given the price I was disappointed. Aside from that its a great spot nestled in the Arcadia area and just minutes from old/downtown Scottsdale.
(4)Jenn W.
I have been coming here for years with my dog and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and customer service. The past few times we have come in we have experienced terrible customer service with rude and unhelpful waiters and hostess. I think we have finally had enough of having to endure this horrible service.
(3)Sonny H.
This place never fails to impress. One cannot beat the brunch special here, food and booze for $10 is quite the concept. I'm a sports fan and my happy lady is not, but this place caters to each of us. Dogs are more than welcome here and let's just say we all prefer well behaved ones. Ha.
(5)Marc S.
My new favorite bar in Phoenix. The outside bar in the back, not the one inside. It's big, it's open, it's dog friendly, they have big TVs and they have a ton of beers on tap including a few that they brew themselves. Great food and service too.
(5)Kate K.
This place wins the award for most dog-friendly patio in Phoenix! I, uh, just don't have a dog, so this is more on the less amusing end for me. But holy water dishes and panters galore! They even have a recurring dog photo contest. Now. The beer? Amazing selection and the happy hour pitcher special is nuts. I love their HH food specials as well. The pretzel with cheese? Pretty sure I requested a straw and drank the rest of the cheese up. I called it Cheese Soup to make it slightly more respectable. I guess that's just what happens when you are "forced" to drink a pitcher of great craft beer! The brunch special is pretty good, but on my most recent visit I ordered the grilled cheese and was fairly disappointed at my meal compared to everything else I saw....pretty paltry portion IMO. I would've rather had a more respectable/substantial sandwich and had no fruit and random sauce/dip. The late night eats menu is a great addition of greasy yet delicious food at pretty awesome prices. Service has always been another high point for OHSO. But the bathrooms, UGH!.......I guess all those pitchers of cheap beers makes for some nasty drunk bitches, because my late night visits have always resulted in straight up DISGUSTING women's bathroom conditions. LADIES, GET IT TOGETHER AND STOP VOMITING IN PUBLIC. WTF. Only other negative is the parking situation. I just hate valet. Even if it's free. HATE IT. If you time it right, you may get lucky, but even when meeting friends at say, 4pm or so, I still get stuck valeting. But hey, this place is packed, for good reason. I'll be back!

The patio is a rocking with beer and dog lovers as OHSO has clearly ingrained themselves in the neighborhood. Warning: you will envision yourself as a dog owner. Aside from the libations, are the well behaved canines lifting our spirits? For the re-review, food quality is consistently good. Try the tacos or hearty cheese board. Eats are reasonably priced too. I also enjoyed an excellent tequila cocktail: the Jensen. That refreshing drink with a jalepeno bite will be enjoyed again this summer. A tiny slip up is the bar did made a gimlet with sour mix; a minor faux pas as we should all go there for the BEER! This fun bike destination does get crowded; enjoy midweek to get over the hump!
(5)Jordan C.
I was recommended to go to OHSO for brunch from an AZ local. Driving up, it was very busy so I assumed it was going to be pretty good. It is a good deal for their $10 beer brunch, where you get a dish from their list and an AZ brew, which always makes me happy. I was with my girlfriend and we ordered the blue crab dip to start off. There was hardly any crab in the dip and the chips were very much stale. So needless to say it wasn't he best start to the meal. I did however enjoy my mocha java porter that was an OHSO in house brew. The rest of the meal was not bad, I got the carnitas bowl and my gf got the bratwurst breakfast. I'm a potato fiend so definitely they were on point, but for the most part nothing was too extraordinary, but not bad. I would come back for the beer :) Cheers
(3)Eric W.
We stopped in for brunch and this may have been the best brunch I've ever had. For $10 we each received either a mimosa or a 10oz beer plus our choice of brunch item. I went with the breakfast burrito.. a lot of great flavors in there! I also sampled the flatbread which was unique and tasty with red sauce combined with breakfast toppings. Their biscuits and gravy featured a spicy variation of gravy that I wish I would have had more of. The beer selection was equally great, featuring a variety of AZ/NM beers and others from around the country. My only regret was that I wish we would have gone again while we were out there!
(5)Danielle B.
Love the patio, great food and you can bring the dogs! This is a great neighborhood spot
(5)Taylor D.
I've been to OHSO a few times as I love the atmosphere and food plus a great place to bring your cute dog! But, I can't get over how warm the beer is. Seriously what a great and fun selection of beer to try, but what an awful temperature. I sure hope in the future they are able to add a better cooling system to the taps as I think the beer would taste even better. This food is worth trying, especially for brunch but don't get hung up on the warm beer.
(3)Jess W.
Place has always been my favorite. Great atmosphere, great specials. I only have two complaints... I always walk out smelling like I was cooking in my nanas kitchen and the salmon was dry. I'm unsure why I walk out smelling like food when I'm not cooking but it's overwhelming. Ventilation might be a good thing. Everyone there is fantastic. I just wish I wouldn't walk out smelling like a kitchen. Still my favorite place.
(4)George L.
I took my parents here for an early brunch on the day before mother's day (same experience minus a larger crowd) and this place was great. You can see them actually making the beer and when we were there you could smell the mash from their latest beer. Here is a place that has good food and excellent beer, much of which they make as there is a selection of several OHSO specific brews. Though parking is limited they have a free valet service that one just tips a few bucks on the way out, and then one can walk right in, a definite plus in the hotter months (well, half the year in Phoenix) here in the valley of the sun. Once you are in, though it is busy there is lots of seating and the wait staff is personable. The wait person was nice enough to point out that the homebrewer who had done the beer I was having (a strong connection between OHSO and the local homebrew community) was sitting the next table over so I was able to have a quick chat about the makeup of the beer. My parents and I both had the sausage brunch special and the sausage is from the German commissary next door. When you walk out, instead of going to the valet, walk next door and take a look at the sausage and cured meat selection, but remember to bring cash there as no credit is selected. OHSO must be doing well because they seemed to have opened another location in North Scottsdale. All I know is that when I went here they seemed to be firing on all cylinders and its nice to be able to start up a quick conversation with a brewer in the open brewing area. I look forward to going here again!
(5)Jared T.
Went in for late night grub and drinks. Enjoyed the Hummus and deviled egg appetizers. Also enjoyed their Oatmeal Stout. Realized they had one of my favorite vodka brands Deep Eddy. Shared the 2 burgers on the late night menu with my friend. The BBQ one was awesome! Left full and satisfied. Bartender was attentive and i will definitely be going back soon.
(4)Preston C.
Complimentary Valet is always a plus The inside has a cool industrial, outdoorsy, bicycle feel... It is also a "seat yourself" deal which I'm not sure is all the time or just on the weekends but I didn't mind because I got to choose a cute low table in the main seating area... I love the chalkboard signs and menus on the wall... Our server was nice and cool... Gave us a menu and took our water orders... The menu is pretty small but everything sounds good I chose the pumpkin ale which sounds yummy For my entree I selected the Skirt Steak with fries which seems like a very popular item... The pumpkin ale is great! I was informed that the skirt steak was mixed sort of like carne asada fries and so I would thought I would give it a try They are really yummy Such a great flavor and the steak is cooked perfectly... I was not expecting so much flavor from this dish but it is exceeding my expectations All in all it was a great visit and I am glad to have tried this spot, I will be back soon

My wife and my three boys took me to O.H.S.O. for a pre-Father's Day dinner, to avoid the crowds on Father's Day. This place is never disappointing, always with good food, and good beer. I've been here on many occasions prior to Father's Day weekend so I can attest to the consistency of O.H.S.O. as far as food, beer and service. Located right off of a major canal in Phoenix, O.H.S.O. is easily accessible by bicycle...and many cyclists do frequent. Another unique feature is the dog friendly patio, out back. On any given afternoon, you will find the patio occupied by K9's and their companions....there are even complimentary homemade treats for the quadrupeds made from spent grains from the brewing process. Oh, and if you have the inclination to brew your own O.H.S.O. offers a program where just about anybody can come in and brew, using their equipment and facilities for storage while your beer conditions for a couple weeks. If you like beer...real beer.....good craft beer brewed locally, O.H.S.O. is your place!
(5)Julie U.
The shrimp tacos used to be amazing, but started to come out oily, so I stopped ordering them. It's bar food, but it's good bar food for sure. Happy hour all day until 6pm with $6 small pitchers of beer; yum! The weekend beer/mimosa brunch menu is also a perfect way to start your day!! Oh and it's so sweet that they give out free dog biscuits for our furry friends :)
(4)Lauren F.
Five stars! That's right, beer fans if you haven't seen what OSHO has to offer, you're missing out! First off their beer selection rocks. You can even brew your own beer and pick a name for it with their on-staff beer geniuses. The happy hour prices are awesome - you can get a pitcher or a pint and I think during happy hour the pitchers are only a dollar more than a pint. So that's a tough decision ha ha! Next, this place is dog friendly on the patio. So bring your pup and some friends next time. They have a dog wash station and a little dog bowl bar to keep your canine buddy hydrated. They even bake homemade dog treats from leftover grain from the beer making process. They also have beer events and smoke meats on the patio for barbecues. If any of this sounds appetizing to you, plan a happy hour with your friends at OSHO! You won't regret it. P.S. the patio gets pretty full, but I believe they take reservations, so give them a call to find out, if you plan to bring a large party.
(5)Greg G.
Cool place for happy hour and to sling a few brews with your pooch in tow. It's friendly enough, sometimes the wait can be pretty long so be prepared for that. I've never had any real issues with the service or staff like is mentioned in other reviews. And I've been numerous times. I think the food is pretty good. They have lots of options, and the beer list is huge. I like it there and have met lots of interesting people there as well. Sometimes the crowd can tend to be a little trendy, uppity so I guess that explains some of the bad reviews. I like it.
(3)Travis H.
Loved it... just amazing... and there's a dog bar!
(4)Risa Y.
I drove by Phoenix driving back to California from Sedona. I was hungry so I looked up a bar/ restaurant with TV where I can watch the Sunday games. O.H.S.O was the first thing that popped on my yelp search. I parked right in front of the restaurant in the restaurant parking lot. I walked in and seated myself at the bar. I ordered some beer and ordered an Arizona burger. The bar tender wasn't too friendly... she seemed to be a bit of a stuck up. It looked like everyone seated at the bar were regulars and maybe that's why I didn't feel so welcomed but, that really shouldn't be the kind of service that I should be getting regardless. What saved it was the burger. The Arizona Burger was OH SO GOOD! If I lived in Phoenix, I'd probably come back for the burger even though the service sucks. Who knows maybe the other servers are nicer!
(3)Brittany W.
O.H.S.O. is a fantastic place to get together with some friends for yummy food and beer. Not only do they have one of my favorite beers on tap (Papago Orange Blossom), but they have a wide selection that can please any palette. If you're a microbrew junkie, then this is the place for you. Their own house brews are delicious. Not to mention they house local AZ Four Peaks brews which is cool. As far as their food goes, their flatbread pizzas are awesome, especially the grilled chicken flatbread pizza. For me, the flatbreads are easy to split and then you can order more goodies on the menu! I LOVE sandwiches and their Hot Pastrami does NOT disappoint. It was hot, incredibly flavorful, and filling. What more could you want in a sandwich? On their happy hour I've had the pretzel + cheese and it was awesome. I have plenty to try on their menu, they have so many things that seem tasty. I've heard great things about their brunch and I love their back patio during the fall and spring when the weather cools back down. You can bring your pups back there!
(4)George A.
I've driven by this place a bunch of times and was always curious about it. I finally got a chance to try brunch here this past weekend and loved it! I've always been a big fan of Four Peaks & this place has a similar vibe, but in a better neighborhood (I just moved back to Phoenix about a year ago and love what's happening in the Arcadia neighborhood). I didn't get a good luck at the inside of the place, because we waited on the front patio for a table on the back patio to become available (because you know, this is one of those places you HAVE to sit on the patio during brunch even if every table on the inside is open), but it seemed nice. We had to wait awhile for a table, but hey, it's Sunday brunch so what to you expect. Waiting for the back patio was worth it though. There's a really cool beer garden vibe going on with a cool/eclectic group of people. I REALLY liked the brunch menu. They have a menu w/several options that come w/either a beer or mimosa for $10. I got the biscuits & gravy (w/a mimosa) and they were both delicious! Our server was a very friendly and attentive for how busy it was. I loved everything about this place, and will definitely be back!
(5)Jim C.
Nice atmosphere...friendly staff and decent food...I had the local IPAs on tap - kinda warm and flat out if the keg...sorta a bummer on a hot AZ summer night~
(3)Bruce M.
I love this place. Simply put, it's a brewery with great food. The beer menu changes often but the food is consistent.The great thing about OHSO is that it's multi purpose. Sometimes i come to eat dinner, sometimes I come to drink a lot of beer and other times I'll come for the amazing Mimosa brunch. All of the beers I have tasted have been delicious and the variety of creative brews does not exist elsewhere in the area. As far as the food goes I've had their BBQ burger and their churasco steak and eggs brunch dish. Both of which I would rate 5 stars and the brunch special (an entree with a very large mimosa for $10) is one of the best deals in all of Phoenix. In addition to great food and great beer, this place is dog friendly, you can bring your dog on the patio, they have water dishes and they even make free doggie biscuits that my dog absolutely loves. That's an extra touch that secures the 5th star for this truly unique establishment. OHSO has become my go to neighborhood bar/brewery and the 1st place I think of when I want to grab a beer.
(5)Amy Q.
Went here on a recent Sunday to celebrate a friends birthday brunch. We had two large tables outside for our group which was nice. I do love the dog friendly patio even though we left our two at home (oh well, next time they will join us). It wasn't to bad sitting outside since they had the misters on but you do fell pretty "damp" all over which is better than being hot. I really liked their brunch menu! You could select a beer or mimosa and an entree for $10. I had a mimosa and green chilie pork breakfast burrito. The mimosa was good and so was the food. The only think I didn't care for was that the only green chilie pork was just a tad that topped the top of the breakfast burrito. Oh well...it was still pretty tasty. One draw back was how LOUD it got when the World Cup Finals were playing. The volume on the TV was a bit much where I just stopped talking to people in my group because I was yelling so they could hear me and that was frustrating. I will be back with the dogs but not during sporting events that is for sure. Service was great this day as in the past it hasn't been the best.
(3)Mary M.
This place is great and the atmosphere is a breath of fresh air in the Phoenix-Scottsdale night scene! I have come here in smaller groups and been met with great service, food and drinks coming out in good time, and just over all pleasant experiences. I have also come here with large groups of 40+ people and I have seen the staff handle busy nights with patience, good humor and good service! This location feels much larger than the newer location near the Scottsdale airport, and the patio art and vibe seems much more organic, neighborhood bar-y and laid back. Both are great brewpub, bar, whatevers, with their own strengths!
(4)Heather H.
They must call it OSHO because it's OHSO delicious and chill. That's what I'm assuming here. This location is right off of the canal, and a wonderful stop for anyone out riding a bike, walking a dog, or who loves a great patio. Behind the building, OHSO offers a back patio with a bike maintenance station, free dog treats for your furry friend, and a gorgeous view of Camelback Mountain. Their fun, laid-back vibe is perfect for an afternoon beer ($6 local pitchers at Happy Hour!) or a bike bar crawl with friends! The service at OHSO has always been prompt and friendly in my experience, and the waiters are very kind about moving an umbrella over to your table if it's a particularly hot/sunny day. I've tried several of the entrees and apps at OHSO, and honestly, I've loved them all! (Special shout out to the Shrimp Ceviche and the Turkey Melt... so good!) They have a program where you can come in and brew your own beer for $50, and then they give you $50 in gift certificates when you have a tapping party for your keg! How cool is that? Basically, it's no cost, except that you (and presumably all of your beer-drinking friends!) buy glasses of your beer at the end... of course, by then, you're spending the gift certificates they gave you! I hear that this books up months in advance, so it's the kind of thing you have to plan well ahead of time... but it sounds great! Long story short, go to OHSO for the ambiance, the view and the great beers. Bring your dog along and enjoy a chill afternoon with friends!
(5)Jessica B.
My favorite burger and beer restaurant. They have the best outdoor patio! You must try their AZ burger. It's so good!
(5)Gina C.
Today's visit to OHSO was excellent. The food was amazing and so flavorful. If you wanna go carb free try the Surf+Turf shrimp and carne Adams covered in pico over asparagus the carne was well Cooked juicy and was not fatty at all. The back yard BBQ is delicious and comes with all the goodies on the side.
(4)Ashley B.
I've visited this location as well as the north scottsdale one. My husband and I walked in and asked for a table for 7 and the "hostess" was rude, rolled her eyes and responded "wait here. I guess I have to put tables together for you". So sorry to be bringing business to your employer! Had a wonderful and patient waitress, sampled many beers as a table and I settled on the Orange Blossom. YUM! For dinner I had the carne asada tacos, amazing!! Others had the burger and cheese, az burger, salmon blt and surf n turf...no complaints except one of the burgers was pink when they asked for no pink. Oh, the fries are delicious! Only other con... The bathroom is disgusting!!! Yuck!
(4)Aubrey D.
I love this place! Not only are they dog friendly, but they have an amazing beer selection and the best Mac n cheese ever!!
(5)Dom P.
Solid but after hour menu sucks! Starts at 10 pm so get in before that if you want some food other than pretzels or burgers, also the place has a weird echo or something. It's really difficult to hear your server especially with the music.
(2)Brandon S.
Let's nip this shit in the bud right now. If you are one of those people that feel the need to bring your dog everywhere with you . . . because you either feel entitled to, or because you think everyone else must be a dog lover, then this place is for you. Here is what we need to get nailed down . . . the regulations as far as they pertain to dogs, restaurants and patios. The animal must remain on the ground and cannot be with 200 feet of where food is prepared or the door from which the food is served. What I don't need is a place that I've gone to enough times to know that dogs are not only allowed on the patio, but in the restaurant, on the seats and a lot of time on the tables. Where is the health department when you need them?
(1)Kelsey W.
Just wanted to shoutout Sam McD for being an AWESOME server with our large group this weekend!! He was helpful, accommodating, and made paying so easy (when it's usually a nightmare in big groups!). Thank you, thank you! OHSO is a neighborhood classic, you really can't go wrong. Fun patio with adorable doggies, bike racks for the "winter" (aka anytime that isn't 120 degrees), local friendly feel. You really can't beat the $10 brunch special - any food item from a selected variety... go with the breakfast wrap and ask for salsa and pico on the side ;)... and a beer or mimosa for just ten bucks! When I'm there for lunch or dinner, the fish tacos, tomato soup, and sweet potato fries are my go-to items. Keep it up OHSO!!
(5)Marie M.
So this place just became one that I will no longer bring new people to try. I have come on a couple occasions with my daughter with limited issues. I finally bring my husband and it has been a sh*t show since we pulled up to the place. Long wait (not a bad thing), followed by an outdated beer list, being charged for a kid soda, confusion on the seating (led to a 45 min wait instead of 30), followed by a flat beer, followed by slow service... you get it. Probably would have all been resolved with a quick manager visit but alas, one didn't appear to be available. I love the AZ Burger, the selection of beer is good (IF they have what is listed - that seems to be a basic struggle each time I visit) and the patio seating is fun (when available). Their brewed beers have improved since they first opened (a plus). I will certainly be back in a few months. Lots of new gastropubs/breweries opening up within the vacinity that we (kiddo and I) will try before circling back....
(3)Olivia G.
Great location and friendly service! I love taking my dog here. The food isn't the best but the beer and ambiance make up for it.
(4)Annette F.
Brunch and drinks. ... do I need to say more! Brunch is $10 for entree and beer/mimosa. This is a great deal for everyone. The staff at O.H.S.O. are so friendly and helpful with drink selections. They have lot's of beers on tap for you to choose from. If you are not a beer drinker, they offer a great list of mixed cocktails. The Arcadia, The Mule, The Sangria....well everything on their cocktail menu is delicious! They offer a great Grill Cheese with Fontina Cheeses and apple wood smoked bacon. For Brunch, I have tried the Breakfast Flabread and Breakfast Grilled Cheese. Both amazingly good! The patio is the best place for any time of the day to meet up with friends and it's dog friendly.
(4)Kat Z.
This has become a staple and meeting place for my boyfriend and I - after spending too much time trying to figure out where to eat, we always know that OHSO will be a good meal with good beer. I have not had an item on the menu that has not been good, nor has anyone we've been with. They have very good beer selection, I was excited to try Up the River Lager and get that almost every time since it's not readily available in Phoenix. The back patio is a great area to sit and I love the diversity of people who come here, dog lovers, bike riders, families, hipsters, after work crowd. Last time I went, they had their microbrews available and I tried the grapefruit, which I was actually disappointed by it. This, of course, will not stop me from going there, as they have other great locals brews to try.
(4)Tracy K.
Over the weekend I had been told about this great new, slightly trendy brewery called OHSO,so when my friend was looking for somewhere to go for St. Patrick's Day that would not be as crazy as the traditional Irish pubs, I suggested we try here. The friend that referred me to OHSO did let me know that he had encountered some difficulty with their texting system for seating people, so to be aware of some technical difficulties, but that the food, beer, service, etc. made up for it. As I was a few minutes away, my friend texted me that parking was difficult, but that there was valet and that helped. I arrived about 10 minutes after her and sat in front of the valet station (where I was almost backed into by someone in a handicap spot right next to the valet who didn't notice a car 1 foot behind his/her bumper and required me to hold my horn down to prevent a t-boning incident in the parking lot). I sat at the valet station for ~ 5 minutes waiting to be acknowledged while I watched the valets run back and forth to help other people. At first I thought I was being punished for honking my horn (& keep in mind that since I couldn't move my car, neither could the person trapped in the handicap spot, even though I had scooted as far forward as possible to still be by valet and try to let the car out). Finally a valet approached my car and told me that they had closed valet service (keeping in mind it was 7:30 p.m.) and that I could go to the back and try to find something myself. I'm glad someone finally told me, but to close so early, what??? So, I drove to the back to fight for parking, which was restricted, annoying, and now had made me late to dinner because of my wait time, etc. But, all of that aside, I decided to go in and enjoy my meal. I wasn't sure if it would be crowded due to the holiday and there appeared to be an event (meet-up type?) outside with people in green & name tags, but my friend had already been seated and the restaurant itself did not look that crowded. I ordered a soda, a drink, and a meal. For some reason, any type of beverage appeared to be something my server could not remember, as my soda was thrown down as an afterthought and I had to remind him about my drink, which came about mid-meal. So much for ordering additional beverages throughout the night! I should have probably ordered a burger, but thought I would order the chicken salad sandwich to balance out my fries (it made logical calorie sense in my head, I swear). The fries were passable, but the sandwich was probably something I could have done at home. My friends swear that I need to give this place another chance and despite our service, the valet drama, and the semi-o.k. food, I'm not sure if this will be on the top of my list for a while until I decide to maybe return and try a burger??
(2)Abby D.
I love OHSO!! The husband and I bike along the canal often and get sucked into the fun ambience of OHSO. They are a bike and dog friendly bar and restaurant, and they really mean it! They have a whole wall dedicated to their biker customers with locks and several tools for all your bicycle needs. They have a lot of bike parking right off of the canal next to the outdoor patio. I was so surprised to see the amount of dogs that people brought! They just hangout in the booths, either on the floor or in the seat or even underneath the booths. OHSO provides free dog treats and water bowls to keep your dog happy. We came to brunch on a Sunday, so of course they had all the football games playing around the bar. OHSO has a great Sunday brunch special which includes a 10 oz beer and a choice of one of their brunch dishes for $10. Even without the special their normal prices are awesome, with pitchers of quality beer for only $9! We got the breakfast flatbread and a pitcher of Orange Blossom, that's from Papago brewery, and omg they were both delicious. The orange blossom had a unique taste of oranges and a hint of vanilla, it was hard not to chug all of it immediately! The flatbread was amazing, it had eggs, spinach, Spanish chorizo and much more I can't remember. You could taste the great quality of the ingredients they used! I saw a LOT ( i mean a lot) of people get the biscuits and gravy, which you would think is ordinary but they put a classy twist on the dish, I will definitely try it next time, it looks so good! The couple next to us also had bloody Mary's and it looked amazing too! Ill try that next time too! I plan to know OHSO like the back of my hand within the next few years because its an amazing place and we live very close! Can't wait to come back!

Neither my hubby or I liked this place. Our food was not tasty- we were thinking, "jeez-I'm paying someone to cook this??" And although my hub liked his beer, I didn'tike mine. We'll go elsewhere.

Had the Arizona burger and the brisket and they were excellent. We drank the Arcadia and the Jensen and we loved them. The atmosphere was great and the service was incredible. Our server was Megan and she was impressive and pleasant. We had a great time and we'd come back again in a heartbeat.

Okay, it has taken me a long time to write this review because I am feeling very guilty. When I walked out of O.H.S.O. a bald guy by the door on a computer asked us how our meal was, truly showing how much he cared about the bar. I lied. I told him it was great and I walked out. I feel SO GUILTY. I wish I had said something to him. So, here it is... A letter to the management: We came to O.H.S.O. based on friend's recommendations and reviews I kept seeing in Phoenix magazine. I really wanted to LOVE this place. We even came for our 4th anniversary!!!! I, unfortunately, do not think we will be back. We ordered the Prosciutto flatbread and the Brisket Burger along with 2 beers, and 3 tester beers throughout the meal (Sonoran white chocolate, luge be chocolate milk, ohso orange nitro, double jack, hop box imperial ipa). Sonoran and Nitro were good, the Chocolate milk was meh and the Jack and Imperial were yummy (says the boyfriend). The Prosciutto flatbread sounded amazing. Prosciutto, broccolini, garlic pomodoro, you can't go wrong!!! It did. The flatbread came out as my meal and it looked like a meal for a lumberjack. It was packed with a chunky meat and was impossible to look hot eating this thing, during our anniversary dinner. Of course I expected shaved prosciutto, like probably 99% of the customers expect. I saw this thick cut sliced prosciutto that looked like and tasted like canadian bacon. I get that O.H.S.O. wanted to go different; this was different, but not better. It would be great if it was regular thinly sliced prosciutto, so you could savor ALL the flavors at once instead of feeling like your eating meat and bread. This was clearly a dish that was made by men in a kitchen. Extra meat does not always mean better, and making it so hefty negates a huge number of women from wanting to order it. If the food is too cumbersome, I don't want to eat it. Especially on my anniversary. Next the Brisket burger... ::sigh:: It was just a disappointment. We knew it was stupid to order brisket after we had the best brisket ever in New Orleans for the holidays. But my boyfriend was craving it so he ordered it. Again, someone that owns the place, or someone in the kitchen decided that regular brisket was not good enough. So pulled brisket was apparently the way to go. No dude. Brisket means sliced with that pink smoke ring. Pulled brisket shows people that the kitchen doesn't know that or does not have the smoke ring and wants to rip the meat apart so you don't see it. Plus, it was bathing, NAY soaking in the tub of sauce which just intensifies the idea that there is no confidence in the meat or the smoking of the meat, so why not mask it in sauce. That was almost like when your mom would make a meal as a kid, and she'd mess up and it would be bad, so she'd just whip out the ketchup and squirt it on. I had previously repressed that memory of my mother, until O.H.S.O. Once again, another man meal. Way too heavy, and not much care taken to prep. I feel bad, because someone put amazing flavors together in their head. But not being confident in the flavors allowed someone to try to tweak something in each plate that was supposed to be awesome and just makes the whole meal fail. Go back to basics and then test stuff one at a time. I would NEVER go back for the food, ever, even though the menu looks amazing. Bring a trained chef or a woman in to show you what's up, and show you that each food item is WAYYY too heavy. I even watched a salad go by that would dwarf Elaine's "Big Salad", it was a beast. It's not even like we're pansy eaters too. We're both 6 foot+ and can put away footlong subs in one sitting. But when going to O.H.S.O. I don't want to feel like I just put away a footlong sub. Plus, food that heavy decreases beer sales because people get too full too quickly. I really am rooting for this place and I want it to succeed. But some menu revamping needs to happen. 52% of the population is women and the food is way too heavy for us. Great look, great interior, great decor on the walls, I love seeing the tanks and people making beer to the side. If I opened my own bar I would have done the SAME THING, same look, same feel. Except the menu. I will come back if the menu is revamped. Otherwise, we'll save the trek from Laveen.

We have been to the N. Scottsdale location 3 times in 4 days! Awesome food, service, beer and very dog friendly! Wonderful place!
(5)Lance C.
Been here several times, always have a great time. Great food, Great Service, and of course Great local beer selection. While is does get noisy from time to time, I still find it a great place to take a date. Introduced many people into the world of beer here, and plan to continue!
(5)Allison F.
Best food and dining experience combo in Phoenix. Great patio, drink selection, food choices and overall experience. O.H.S.O is my favorite. Bring anyone, dogs too. Try their breakfast and bloody marys. Their Moscow Mule is the best I've ever had.
(5)Bob S.
O.H.S.O. is one of the many declining restaurants that is propped up by good food and a wide selection of beers and being dragged down by poor service. I once went there for breakfast and had a waiter that was really spacey and inattentive. He had to be reminded of orders and things he forgot more than once. When I pointed out that fruit on my plate was moldy he took the single moldy piece of fruit off the plate ant set it back on my table reminding me that sometimes these things happen. Really? I've never been served moldy food before. That is disgusting and the completely wrong attitude. I took that experience as a red flag, but didn't think it was damning. Yet another visit clued me in that my money is better spent elsewhere. I went one night and sat in the bar one weeknight after the dinning room had closed. Just after I ordered food and drinks and group of people went from the bar to the patio to smoke. The patio opening is as wide as the patio so the smoke naturally blows into the bar. I mention the smoke to the bartender who brought our drinks and before I finished speaking she cut me off and said, "because you're sensitive?" in a completely inappropriate tone. I should have just left then and there. There is no excuse to be that rude to a guest. Our food comes and it's less than impressive. The fries in my order were recooked. When the waiter cleared our table he dropped the two uneaten cups of mustard that come with the pretzels on the floor. He was upset because he got mustard on his pants. He wasn't that upset that he'd gotten it on the floor which explains why he left it there. When I left the table I slipped and nearly fell from it. What kind of jackass just dumps something you could slip on in front of your table? I tried calling the restaurant to voice my discontent and no one would ever pick up the phone. I sent a message through a forum on their website. The response I got back was defensive and told me I should have talked to a manager that night. So should I have talked to the rude bartender or the guy to busy to clean up the mustard from the floor?!?! The message might as well have just been a suggestion of other restaurants to visit instead.

Came on Sunday for brunch and beer and I was very impressed with the venue, the menu, and the service. My sister and I both had a flat bread breakfast pizza (which we could have split). She had a mimosa and loved it and I had a beer... and then another beer... and then I had a growler filled. The beer was great all around, our server was awesome, and the patio (front) where we sat was really nice. I walked through the restaurant to the back patio and was very impressed with the restaurant and the back patio. I will certainly be back and am just looking for excuses to bring my wife and daughter (so one of them can drive home!).
(5)Joe B.
I was completely satisfied with the overall experience at this place... If we lived in the area, this would be our regular spot. Great outdoor set up.... Nice food / beer happy hour deals.. Worked out great for brunch. They have a lot of beers on tap, lots of other local beers as well. Great deal for ten bucks, food and a beer. Service was fine.. Food was fine.. Overall, good to go... Oh yeah, dog ad kid friendly.. Huge plus

A friend recommended I try OSHO while I was in the Phoenix area and that the burgers were really good. Always can go for a good burger, know a lot of great burger places in the Dallas area but having been away from Phoenix for more than 20 years, I really didn't know where to go here until my friend suggested OHSO. I don't drink so I can't comment on the quality of the beer first hand but my son was happy with his choice. I got the Arizona Burger, ordered it "pink", the other choice is "not pink" but that's just not right (by that I mean, who wants a burger cooked all the way through? Kills the flavor!)! As busy as they were, I was pretty surprised it only took us about 10 minutes to get our food. I ordered it with the onion strings on the side but didn't get them at all. Either the waiter couldn't hear me too well because it is pretty loud when they are busy (and they were packed on a Friday night) or the kitchen forget them. No biggie. Fries were pretty good but more warm than hot. Glad they came with the burger because ala carte they are pretty pricey for french fries. The only real negative is the parking. The lot isn't very big and the dry cleaners next door has "no parking' signs threatening towing all over the place. I can understand that if they are open but when we were there it was closed. Not sure if they tow cars after the dry cleaners is closed but I wasn't taking any chances and was glad I snagged the last spot. When we came out, the spots at the dry cleaners were full. Plus there was a huge line at the door. Definitely will be back next time I'm in town.

Overly-Hyped Sh*tty Operation. Very disappointed and won't be returning. My friend and I were excited to have a drink after a horrible week. OHSO is right by my house but I had never been. We walked in and were met by an angry girl with a nose ring (doesn't matter but just for identification purposes) who barked that we had to put our name in for a table and a 45 minute wait. We were a bit thrown off by her attitude but asked nicely if we could look at the bar to see if there were seats. She grumbled that there was open seating in the bar. We went into the packed bar and there was not a seat but two girls were about to leave a high top. We were excited and waiting to grab our long awaited beer. We were then approached by a hostile brunette server who asked us if we had put our name in with the hostess. We explained that we were going to sit at this bar table. She snapped that we had to put our name in for this seat in the bar. We explained that we thought the bar was open seating and she rolled her eyes. Up walks nose ring girl. She rolled her eyes at the brunette (as if we couldn't see her disdain) and says she told us we couldn't just sit down. I felt like we had committed a crime. My friend and I were over this unwelcoming, ridiculous place...so we told them we were leaving, walked across the street to Arcadia Tavern (had never been there either) and enjoyed a beer in a friendly environment. Oh So sorry...will never be coming back!
(1)Vlad H.
The first time I went I wasn't impressed but I've been back multiple times now and it's become one of my favorites in Arcadia. The Sunday brunch is one of the best deals around - $10 for a meal and either a beer or a mimosa. The meals are all quite good and the mimosas are strong. Above average bloodys as well, two great porches (front and back) that are a little too comfortable. Also dog friendly so if you have a social pooch be sure to take him/her with. And, of course, the beer selection is top notch, though twice now I've settled on a favorite only to find them replace it in their cycle. The price of keeping things fresh. :)
(5)Megan R.
Always love coming here, especially when the weather is nice and you can sit on the patio! I usually visit for brunch, because let's be honest....$10 for a meal and a drink!? You can't beat that. I love their mimosas and have never had a bad meal on the brunch menu. The service is always great, even when they are slammed. The atmosphere can't be beat too.
(4)Eloy W.
Ohhh Soo Good! I had the Flanders Red and the Dragoon. Flanders was pretty expensive and I liked the Dragoon better. Both good beers but $8 for the Flanders?? hmm... I ordered the Green Chile Pork tacos which were pretty good, I liked the roasted tomato salsa. I was hoping for more of a bite on the chile, but this is Phoenix so I let it slide. Everyone else ordered burgers and were happily content. We sat outside and next time I'm going to bring the pup. A very cool spot in Arcadia and I would of given 5 stars but, our waitress was a bit of a B. We still were able to wrangle up a good time and enjoy the Phoenix night.
(4)Reza B.
This place has it all. Environment, layout, huge patio, great beer selection and food to match. I recently found out you can also craft your own beer here with the OHSO brewmaster. Great spot for happy hour, lunch or dinner.
(4)Taylor H.
Awesome place! I had the grilled cheese with the tomato marmalade on the side (I wasn't sure if like it, but it was so good) and I loved every bite. My friend had the AZ burger, it has jalapeño cream cheese, delicious! We tried a sample of all of the OHSO beers and while they were all very good, none of them stood out as amazing. I will definitely be back, such a great place. Also, they have home made dog treats to take home!
(4)Lindsay M.
I thought this place was too good to be true for a while. Cheap drinks, good food, great service...O.H.S.O. is the total package. They have an amazing selection of beer and a great happy hour ($6 for a pitcher?!) We love their dog-friendly patio, especially during the winter/spring months in AZ. Brunch on the weekends is also fantastic. $10 for your meal and a monster mimosa. LOVE this place!
(5)Jenna A.
I've been to OHSO for brunch, lunch, and late night nibbles over the course of probably a dozen or so visits. I think they deserve a solid five stars. To be completely honest I am not a huge beer connoisseur, I just really like the atmosphere, the food, and the sprawling back patio. My co-workers and I used to visit OHSO on Sundays for their $10 "Beer Brunch" which includes your choice of 10 oz. beer or large mimosa, plus a selection of ten food options under $10. My favorite items are the green chile pork carnitas (comes served with eggs) and the breakfast flatbread. As far as appetizers go, I would recommend the spinach artichoke + crab dip or the green chile dip, although last time I had the green chile dip it could have used a tad more salt and spice. Note-worthy sandwiches include the chicken pesto sammie and the green chile pulled pork (are you seeing a trend here - try the green chile anything, you won't regret it!) OHSO has a pretty fabulous happy hour that runs Monday through Friday from 11am - 6pm where all wines and pitchers of beer are $6.
(5)Eric H.
Trendy mini brewery/restaurant. Great selection of brews and wine for you to choose...$6 pitchers during happy hours. They also have a wide selection of food menu, from main course to burgers to tacos and vegetarian options. A great place to go with friends to enjoy a game. They also have a pet friendly patio. I would recommend making a reservation during typical busy hours and large groups.
(4)Lisa N.
Wow what a place! Love the dog friendly atmosphere and free yummy biscuits - at least that's what my dog says. Happy hour pricing and options are awesome. Great selection of beer on tap! The burgers are great. I had the basic Burger and Cheese and LOVED it. The OHSO Grilled cheese was a favorite with my kids. Twice in one vacation says a lot! Strawberry Rhubarb pie was FANTASTIC. One of my new favorite places.
(5)Erik S.
Love the dog friendly back patio. The temperature wasn't bad because of all the misters out there even though you get a little damp because they're cranking out the water but in 100+ degree weather it's the only solution. Food was good as was the service but nothing out of the ordinary. The biggest drawback was during the Soccer game tv broadcast the volume was WAY too loud. We were seated next to the speaker so I can see why the volume was overbearing at our table. Had to yell at each other over the volume. We'll be returning soon enough hopefully not during a major sports event.
(3)Kelly H.
This place is cool. I read some reviews and thought I would give it a shot. Great drinks, great patio, and friendly staff. Guess what, the bar was sticky but I asked them to wipe it off and they did! My burger was overcooked...and they brought me a new one! I am tired of reading from other yelpers complaining but not doing anything about it. 5 stars all day long.
(5)Pete M.
I've been to OHSO once before and it didn't inspire a review one way or another. This time I felt the urge. Of the lengthy beer menu, OHSO has 3 of their own in-house brews. Two of which they were out of which is ok because the one left was an IPA. I like IPAs, this was not an IPA. It was bad. This "IPA" came in a pitcher. It reminded me of those beers that are made by another brewery but have a different label slapped on the bottle. My buddy and I couldn't finish it. It had the bottom of the keg, sat too long in the lines taste to it. Did I mention, not good? On to the next beer, a guest beer, Mother Road, it was advertised as hoppy and malty... What was I thinking? I hate mixing my malts with hops and verse vicea. Once again, it tasted like it was long in the lines. I peered over at the bar, crap, these guys have like 30 taps! I'll never get a fresh beer unless I get the same that everyone else gets. Lame. It's not a brewery but a tap house. Crap. After BSing about all things dude, our food comes. I ordered a cheeseburger. The meat was HOT and cooked properly but the rest was just a mess. The bun was waaaay too big for the patty, two small slices of roma tomato and a rib of romaine were dwarfed by the bready top and fat soaked bottom. The bacon must have been sliced by a Ginsu knife because you could read through it. And if I didn't see the cheese, I would not have known it was there. The fries were good; crispy and salty. I expected more from an $11 burger and fries. So after a couple trips to OHSO, I'll now be referring to it as NOTSO, as in "Did you like it?" NOTSO much.
(2)Tara G.
I've been going here since they opened. I love that it's getting more popular and I have to wait for a table now. OHSO has an amazing vibe: chill, relaxed, local, friendly. The changing beer selection makes it fun to come back. The food is delicious. My favorite item is the Arcadia Veggie Burger. Their brunch includes a mimosa or beer. The mimosa is made with fresh OJ and is so good! I honestly can't pick a favorite breakfast item because they are all good. Top 2: Breakfast wrap or Chicken & the Egg.
(5)Gina P.
Driven past here a few times and it's always busy! Finally had lunch there and it was terrific! Sat out on the back patio too which is wonderful. Had an energetic vibe to it and it's fun to see all the happy dogs too! I had the spicy green chili burrito and husband had the smoked brisket. Both were excellent! Great price too. His was $12 and mine was $10. Lots of super fun beers, but it's the patio and fun service that makes this place great. Well done!
(4)Nick M.
Simply amazing. Their hamburgers are the best in town. Overall very solid menu and great atmosphere.
(5)Bryan S.
The waiter was not that attentive and brought cold fries. Asked for no tomato and had to pick them from my burger. Very noisy place too. I think the place is just ok....
(2)Kerry M.
Well, alright then. Another sweet spot to hang out on a lively evening. Let's be clear from the start though...this place is loud, VERY loud if you happen to be sitting in the bar area. It could have been the obnoxious 22 year olds sitting behind us, but I practically had to yell at each other across our table. The other problem? The service was slow. Our server was incredibly friendly and down to earth, but it took us forever to get our bill at the end of the night. I get it, it's a bar-type hangout and business is booming, but it was disappointing to wait so long after an otherwise pleasant experience. So on to the good points... The atmosphere is pretty cool (the back patio looks awesome, but was too crowded on this particular night) and the seating was trendy, but comfy. The husband ordered the veggie flat which he really enjoyed (he wished he would have ordered it without the broccoli though) and I ordered the pesto chicken sammie. My sandwich was so good. Like really good. And the fries were perfectly crispy without being overdone. I'm one of those people who gets easily sick of my meal even before I'm full. This was not one of those situations. Even my husband commented on how quickly I put that bad boy down. So good! And I won't forget to mention the awesome beer selection. They really have something for everyone. Ciders, wheats, darks, pales...everything. And don't forget the wine and cocktail list. Don't mind if I do! So yeah, this place is pretty great. There are definitely some kinks that need to be worked out so I hope they are still trying to improve. Keep it up. It's hard to find a great bar-type hangout with such tasty meal options. I'll be back! P.S. Anyone know what O.H.S.O. stands for anyway? Am I missing out on some inside joke?
(4)Chad G.
If you love craft beer this is the place for you! I recommend going at sunset and sitting on the back patio!
(4)Michelle G.
Great beer selection, great menu selection. Went there last night (a Friday around 7). We had a reservation so we were sat right away. However, it took our server at least 7 minutes to greet us (we all had empty beers or hadn't had any beers at all by that time). When he finally did greet us, it took at least another 10 minutes to get our beers. The whole night went that way. We started ordering two beers at a time to make up for the lag in service. It was disappointing since the atmosphere, beer and food were great. It also took the server 10 minutes after we placed a beer reorder to tell us that one of the kegs had blown and our beer selection was no longer available. I was afraid to order something else I'm fear that it might take another 10 minutes to finally get my beer. This was my husband and my first time there. I have to say I may try it again but not at a busy time, because I hate slow service.
(2)Rebecca S.
Got there Friday night, atmosphere was good, restaurant parking lot was packed, valet parking was available but we found a spot. Seated right away, waiter came and took our order, took a very long time (20+ minutes) to get our appetizer of spinach and crab dip with veggie chips. Two minutes after we got our appetizer, the waiter brought out our main meal. I told him we just got our appetizer and now the meal is going to be cold, he said he could stick it in the broiler until we're ready because he tried to time the appetizer and meal but the kitchen was behind. We declined and ate. The appetizer was way tastier than the main meal, I got a burger and fries, boyfriend got the grilled cheese with bacon. We both agreed it was meh, and having to flag down the waiter so we could request refills on our drinks was kind of sucky. Had a couple of beer samples, the first one the glass wasn't even half full. The second third and fourth were filled to the top, but we weren't charged for the first one. We were there around 8pm and another sample we requested was already out, kind of surprising for a brewery on a Friday night. Three out of five for the atmosphere and our dogs loved the free dog treats, may have rated higher if we had gone another time.
(3)Amanda P.
GREAT beer! I really liked the food too. The service is fantastic, its dog friendly, and a fun atmosphere.
(5)Tee M.
Always a good time here! Love the local beers, great food, bloody Mary's (with homemade beef sticks) & red sangria! Pet friendly patio & biking in is fun. Casual & friendly. Love it!
(5)Brian T.
Great server. The burgers were phenomenal. Spinach crab dip was good, but not a lot of crab. Good beer selection. Would reccomend.
(4)Ashley D.
My bf and I went to this new beer bar last night. Suffice to say I'm considering moving within walking distance. This is the bar you want in your neighborhood, luckily my boyfriend lives close by. If I could walk I suppose I'd be in trouble. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff and patrons are friendly, and we ran into a few people we knew. For beers lovers, this is a dream come true. Tons of beers to try, brews you've never heard of, a rotation of the menu, and OHSO is soon to brew their own beer. DREAMY! I've heard mixed reviews from people regarding their food. We only had the Yucca chips and guac to munch on, which were good. I'll have to grab a burger soon, I'll sure I'll be back very very soon. I love trying new beers and with tasters I can try everything and move on to having pints of my favorite. So far I love the OHSO Raspberry Wheat Ale and the White Chocolate Ale. The Up River Lager from Mudshark was pretty tasty. The Two Hearted Ale was a bit too piney and hoppy and the Organic Chocolate Stout is for coffee lovers, which I am not. 5 down, many to go!

I went here last Sunday for brunch after discovering them on the Whistl App for iPhone. This is by far one of the best deals in the valley. For $10, you get a 10 oz Arizona Beer (Or Monster Mimosa), along with one of their 10 entrees. Between three people, to only spend $30, enjoy a beer, and be truly stuffed is a feat for any restaurant in this town. We ordered the Biscuits & Beer Gravy, the Breakfast Flatbread, and the Green Chile Pork Carnitas. I had the Orange Blossom Beer by Papago Brewing Company, while my two friends each got the Hefeweizen by Four Peaks. The Biscuits and Gravy is probably one of my favorite dishes on earth. The bisuits are smothered in the the thick gravy, with massive chunks of sausage. To top it off, they put a couple pieces of bacon on top. The flavor was very savory, not too salty or overpowering in any sense. The Breakfast Flatbread was very unique, turning a pizza into a breakfast It came with scrambled eggs, spanish chorizo, potato hash, caponata, and arugula. The sweetness of the caponata blended perfectly with the chorizo. The potatoes also helped balance the flavors quite nicely. The Green Chile Pork Carnitas were also very good, but nothing groundbreaking. It was probably the most traditional menu item. It came with the carnitas, flour tortillas, and scrambled eggs. It was fun though putting together my own little wrap with all of the ingredients. As for the beer, I was very impressed with the Orange Blossom. It was extremely refreshing, and the citrus flavor was not too overpowering. There was some subtle nodes of vanilla, which i though was unusual for beer, but really carried the flavor of the drink. My friends both said they enjoyed the Hefeweizen. We've always been a big fan of Four Peaks' beers. We saw some other people drinking the Monster Mimosas, and they are huge! I would love to try one, but the acidity of orange juice does not sit well with me anymore, but I can imagine that they are excellent. As for the service and atmosphere, I would still give it a perfect 5 stars. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about their food and drink list. The layout of the restaurant is very unique. It has the old style german bier-haus vibe, with a modern american twist. Each dining area has its own style. I would definitely recommend this place for their brunch. They also do BBQs on the weekends in the evening too. If youre a foodie like me and want to find other great deals like OHSO, definitely check out the Whistl App on the App Store. It's free to use, and I've already found several new places in the Valley that really rock!
(5)Billy B.
Wait staff are handsome and friendly but not very skilled either, food came out cold, never refilled drinks, and never offered desert. Food was also ordinary and decor was trying too hard. If you want trendy with a good beer selection many other places will top this one.
(2)Christie C.
My friend and I came here for brunch. It was delicious. We opted for the mimosas instead of beers with the $10 brunch specials. The food was amazing. The breakfast burrito was delicious. Made me fall in love with pork all over again. And the breakfast flatbread was also really good. The crust was amazing. I probably could have just had the crust and been happy as can be. We sat on the patio, even though it is super hot outside. It didn't even matter, because it didn't feel bad at all. With the misters and the swamp cooler, it was pretty comfortable. I like the feel of their patio, and it's obviously dog friendly. My friend and I are going to return with my dog in tow.
(4)Heather E.
I really wanted to like this place! Before even trying it for myself I heard good things about this place, but the 2 out of three times I've been I have found hair in my food. Service was great all three times but the hair in the food just did it for me. I'm going to assume this happens often because of their dog friendly patio (where I sat all three times). They do have a great beer list and it changes weekly so if I do go back maybe I'll play it safe and just drink.
(2)Cori C.
We checked this place out for the $10 beer brunch. Overall, it was a great experience. We arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday. I was worried about a wait but we were seated right away. Beyond the beer themed decor you would expect of a brewery, they also used old bike parts, which was fun. I had the OHSO Breakfast Wrap. It was not particularly creative with pretty much eggs and bacon in a tortilla but it was tasty and filling. It could have used more cheese and guacamole. Could barely taste or see it. They also forgot my seasonal fresh fruit, which I didn't realize until I saw someone else with a nice bowl of strawberries. I was almost finished and was full so decided not to mention it. The hubster got the green Chile pork carnitas. He got a big plate of food with a nice serving of pork that wasn't too spicy, crispy fried potatoes, beans, scrambled eggs, and tortillas. I think he won in meal selection. I got the Grovey, which was a unfiltered wheat with a subtle orange flavor and R got the saison, called Bier du Jour I think. We also ended our meal with a sampler of their Belgian styles, which was a great deal of 5 decent pours for $5. The beers were perhaps not epic but tasty. Good starting place with room to grow. The service was friendly and attentive. As others mentioned, plan to valet so bring some tip cash for this free service. Overall, we would return. Solid experience. Laid back and affordable... Not words I would typically associate with what I hear about the Scottsdale dining scene.

Love this place. The food, drinks, atmosphere and all are just spot on awesome! Love it. Great place to come with friends and even your dog- best place to eat and relax.

O.H.S.O. is so much fun! A huge selection of beers on tap, great happy hour, and a big patio that caters to dog lovers...they even have dog treats at the front that you can take home with you! I thought the food was so so, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Perfect for brunch or an afternoon with friends. Overall, if you're in the market for a chill afternoon outside with your friends or your dog, give O.H.S.O. a shot.

The burger+cheese is so very delish!!! Prob my new fav burger spot! Also the shrimp tacos are something to talk about!! Love the Peach Ale. OHHHHHSOOOOOGOOOD!!! This is my new fav place and had a great birthday in the reserved inside outside patio area Thanks O.H.S.O!!!

I live right down the street; the food is flawless; the beer is great; the happy hour is awesome ($6 local pitchers); and the people are always nice and happy. They have plenty of vegetarian options, and are eager to make substitutions. I crave their sweet potato fries more often than I'd like. Also, the veggie burger is their own hand-made patty and it's freaking delicious. It's a very laid-back atmosphere. They have a few flat screens at the top of the bar, so you can sit outside and watch sports. It's also my favorite spot to puppy-watch! Most people who sit in the back patio have their dog with them. If you go during happy hour, I recommend you try the happy hour food. The pretzels are super soft and the cheese dip is great, and I love their hummus + cucumbers app.
(5)Arman P.
Cool place. Good Burgers. Also on sundays you can bring your dog to mingle with others. Pretty cool.

Went here for a Sunday brunch and had a great time. The menu is limited but you get a mimosa or beer included with your meal. The wait was not long and I loved the atmosphere outside. Food was great! Be aware you must valet...it is complimentary but I felt lousy without a giving a tip so had to get a few bucks off my cousin since I didn't have any cash on me!
(5)Garrett M.
I'm gonna start by saying why I didn't give this place 5 stars. Horrible parking and the back patio always has flies. That being said, this place is the best. They have a really good beer selection outside of their own. The food is delicious. Definitely gotta come in for their $10 brunch which gets you breakfast and a beer or mimosa for $10. The patio is awesome. Aside from the flies, it's THE place to sit. Great view of camelback mountain. They also allow you to bring your dog to the patio too.
(4)Greg Z.
weve eaten here twice.. both times the food was good and the service was average. minus one star for allowing annoying barking dogs on the back patio. sorry. gross to me.
(3)Matt M.
This is the 6th time I've been here and unfortunately it wasn't good this time around. The previous 5 I would rate between 3.5 and 4. This one unfortunately is a 2. Beer was good as always. Food, not so much. Crab won tons were very good, grilled cheese was soggy and had spaghettio sauce which they called tomato marmalade lol. Pretzel was ok, beer cheese was good. Calamari was a 1 out of 5 and the ahi was low grade at best. Since I haven't given them a review before you can consider the place a 3. I'll check in next time and hopefully it will be positive. Atmosphere is very good consistently and servers are polite.
(2)Melaney N.
Awesome place for happy hour! Great food, great drinks, great service, great prices, and all around fantastic atmosphere! Love the cheese dip and soft pretzels! The spicy hummus is awesome too. If you're in the Arcadia area, make sure to stop in for a quick bite, you won't regret it!
(5)Danielle T.
What a great spot! We are in Scottsdale for vacation and were looking for a casual place close to our condo on our first night here. Terrific outdoor patio and really cool bar inside. Between the 4 of us, 2 had tacos, 1 had salmon, and one had the brisket sandwich. We all agreed that our meals were terrific. Good prices too. I had one of their specialty cocktails. It was very tasty but there was so much ice in the drink that I think I only got about 6 sips out of it. Even with that, I highly recommend this place. I'll just get a beer next time!
(4)Austin T.
Unexpectedly good food. Excellent background music - makes me very happy. Much bigger inside than you would think. The entire place including the back patio is spacious, clean, creative, and has a great layout. Staff is friendly, but my first time here the server sort of just bailed and we had to track someone down to pay for the food. That person did give us some free stuff off the bill, but still . . . was a little annoying. But OHSO still gets 5 stars despite.
(5)Hunter S.
Really eclectic home brew selection, fantastic food and a ton of indoor or outdoor seating options. Cool ambiance, design and culture, too.
(5)Karla K.
This weekend my cousin from Seattle was here being the 12th man etc and he loves craft beer. I decided to take him to OHSO and he positively loved it. He carried on and on about the burger + cheese. I had the Brewers Board, just so good. We also had the pleasure of meeting Greg who was as good as it gets. So friendly and polite. In fact, they guy sitting next to me said that Greg was the kind of guy he would hire at his firm. HIs customer service was right on and 1 star is for him alone. We can't wait to get back there and enjoy the awesome patio!
(4)Lindsay W.
I'm knocking off one star for the less-than-stellar food (spongy flatbread, soggy fries). Otherwise, I love this place! Great beers on tap - I got the Angry Orchard Hard Cider. I love the decor and ambience. The back patio is SO COOL. The type of place you want to visit every Friday or Saturday night. It backs up to the canal and has great views of Camelback Mountain. A great place to come with friends. One note - there was a car accident last night right outside the parking lot. I'm not surprised, because the parking lot is CRAZY! I wish the parking lot were bigger.

We came here around 9pm on a Wed so I can't really review this place based on the social vibe. The service is awesome, it felt like we had a million servers and our drinks were always topped off and the food came really quick. All our requests were addressed immediately too! The beer selection here is great and especially since I'm a Californian I love trying new beers we usually don't get. I had the fish tacos which were tasty I just wish the jalapeño coleslaw was a little tangier/spicier/had more kick-- the fish was fried nicely though and it was the perfect amount of food. I'm pretty picky when it comes to guacamole but I loved theirs! Would definitely come back to hang out in patio next time-- I love that there were puppies everywhere!

We had high hopes for this place, as we live 2 min away from Ohso. We first visited Ohso Saturday 8/10/2013 for brunch. The food was mediocre the side of fruit was rotten, the pie was rubbery and microwaved but the beer was good and the waitress was too. When we told the manager about the fruit...she didn't even offer us a fresh one. We had been told about the Sunday only offering of their supposed famous BBQ all you can eat for $15. By several people, so we decided to give them another chance and go back the next day. Excited to try this offering we invited our family to join us on what we anticipated to be a delightful outing. Not so much ... Not at all. Our plate had more bread than meat, the chicken should have been called a salt lick because that's all that could be tasted. The ribs were ok and the beef brisket was to. By far the best was the brisket. However the meat was not BBQ at all, it was old microwaved meat with salt and some type of "BBQ'" sauce. The real issue was the server, a rather rude young lad in need of training in professional etiquette and mannerisms. When I ordered my second serving I expected another plate with the meat that I requested. Hold the chicken and keep the rest. Instead I was brought a little saucer with again more bread topped with a teaspoon of brisket and two emaciated ribs. Hello $15? Where is the food? My mother only ordered more corn bread, she later decided to take it home. When the rude water boy delivered the two take home boxes, he looked at my saucer that had the teaspoon of meat, large loaf of bread and emaciated ribs and said " oh no that's not how we do this. Its all you can eat while you're here." First of all there were 4 yes four people, only 1 person ordered what was supposed to be a second round of "all you can eat BBQ" and a bill well over $100.00 so waiter boy gives us attitude over corn bread a and saucer of what was only good for my dog to eat. Hello! Really, R-U-D-E-!!! We will never go there again and will share with our ENTIRE OFFICE what a waste of time, money and effort "OHSO Shitty" really was. If not to be in the company of my parents there would have been quite the conversation with the manager. And just to think that we considered holding our company luncheon at that place. No no no way! Not even if it was for free. Also, who microwaves pie? Oh that would be OHSO. I have never had a rubbery $7 piece of pie. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience and the loaf of bread. I give this place -5 star.
(1)Anne M.
Thanks for carrying the best two beers to ever touch my lips: Orange Blossom and White Chocolate ale. This Californian would turn Phoenician for this beer. Okay maybe not, but it's a shame it's not available where I live.
(5)Shuree F.
Loved this eatery!!!! We had great service from Jacob. There is a large tap beer selection, along with other drinks. There is complimentary valet. My husband had the Sunday BBQ special. He was served bbq chicken, shredded pork, ribs with cornbread and potato salad. You can have as many more servings of anything that came on the BBQ plate for the low price of $15. The blackened salmon was delicious! We will be returning simply because there was so much on the menu we wanted to try!
(5)Cindy C.
I finally got to try this place today. One of my friends met me for lunch and the place was packed and NOISY. We were debating going elsewhere but decided to stay and tough it out . The noise level was uncomfortable but that may have been due to the rain's impact on OHSO's outdoor dining spaces. It was also helped once the table of obnoxious drunk women finished their meal. I'm willing to try it again in warmer weather The food was good. We each had recommended dishes. Brunch is very reasonably priced, with a cocktail included with the entree. The menu is interesting, with side items available to add variety. The service is good., the seating is comfortable, and the staff is pleasant. It's clear they enjoy their jobs and understand the importance of customer service. I will definitely try OHSO again. If the noise level is better, it will become part of the regular rotation :)

You can hardly ever go wrong with coming to O.H.S.O. I don't know why I think of the song by 2 live Crew {me so horny} every time I think of the name. However, the service and food was good. We got the tacos.. and the the limes were extra dry, I mean.... I am definitely not picky at all but I feel if you order tacos.. you should be able to add all of the flavors that you want. Needless to say we asked for fresh limes, which probably had the waitress talking about us in the back, but it made the tacos taste that much better. The drinks were on point!! And the service was pretty good. Our waitress was gone for a certain point in time, but when we got a hold of her she made sure to come by at a more frequent rate. This would be my second time at this restaurant/nanoBrewery and I love the environment. Definitely good for groups and to let off some unwanted stress. Everyone for the most part is very friendly.
(4)SK B.
Great atmosphere. Dog friendly patio. A lot of local beer to choose from. Great friendly staff. Grilled cheese with prosciutto was amazing!
(5)John K.
Beer is good, food is very good. For some reason they have picked locations with really bad parking options. Outside of that I can't find a reason not to recommend this place. I'm not a dog lover but being able to bring your dog to a bar is cool concept. There happy hour is good with $3 small aps and $6 pitchers.
(4)Julie P.
Love this place and I don't even drink beer. The food menu has everything from bar food to light and healthy salads. Great music and atmosphere. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Dog friendly on the back patio. They even bake natural dog biscuits daily that they give away for your best friend. Great wine and drink menu as well!
(5)Cindy K.
When they say it's "Dog friendly" they aren't kidding! We thought we'd be turned away since we didn't have Roxy with us! HAHA Great people/dog watching patios!
(4)Britt C.
I love OHSO! The beer selection is unrivaled. They have a great selection of Arizona craft beers from Four Peaks, Papago, Sonoran breweries and more. Plus they are on happy hour from open until 6pm- only $6 for a pitcher! OHSO has many options for seating from seats at the bar to high tops to couches. They have 2 outdoor patios- the one in the front facing Indian School which is always open and a back patio facing Camelback Mountain that is open on the weekends for brunch (served 9am-2pm). Both allow dogs so I brought mine one afternoon and the staff was great bringing him water & taking care of us! I didn't think the spinach artichoke + crab dip was anything special- way too much spinach and not enough artichoke and crab. Had their grilled cheese and it was amazing! The bacon was crisp and thick and a perfect compliment with the cheese & tomatoes. I've also had the Green Chili pulled pork sandwich that is incredibly delicious! Don't bother trying to pick it up with your hands- just use your fork. The service has always been great here and the restaurant is always clean. If I lived closer I'd be there more often!
(4)ViVi S.
Can't believe it took me this long to wander to my neighborhood bar...yes, maybe due to the parking situation. Discovered complimentary valet and it's a whole new ball game. Love the atmosphere - come dressy, come casual and you'll be greeted with friendly smiles. The AZ burger is killer; off the charts with the poblano aioli and jalapenos. No worries, with over 36 beers on tap, you won't be thirsty for long. I was most impressed by the staff; so accommodating and customer service oriented. Kudos to our waitress for handling a rowdy bunch of 14+ guests. Didn't get to check out back patio so my star rating was limited just for that. Pretty sure a return visit is in the very near future :)
(4)R S.
If you had asked me a month ago, I would have given this place 5 stars. Sadly, after my second visit, I feel the need to write this review. The food and beer selection at O.H.S.O. is pretty great, which is why I didn't give them 1 star. In fact, my first time here was pretty good. I thought this would be a go-to when I come to town, but then I had dinner there this past week, and well, I'm never going back. Now, I admit, I'm a picky eater and I like to modify my dinner. I live in LA, where almost every single person I know modifies in some form or fashion, and it's rare for that to be an issue. You would think a restaurant in a city as big as Phoenix would see a lot of that, too. However... When it came time for me to order my meal, I started to explain that I would prefer my pizza with no cheese, and a few other items off of it. The last time I had been there, this was not a problem at all, and that server was happy to help me. THIS time, I unfortunately was served by Brooke, who not only didn't help me, but she served up a healthy portion of her less-than-helpful attitude. Upon ordering, she told me "You could do that - but it's not gonna taste very good" (in a pretty b****-y tone, mind you). That's funny - I don't remember asking her opinion of what I wanted to eat! I've actually worked in the service industry before, and there is a way to let a customer know that a certain dish might not be as palatable that doesn't include a rude and condescending tone. Little did she know that I had eaten the same exact dish a month prior and enjoyed it thoroughly. In a town that has a lot of restaurants, I hope this is a lesson to treat customers like you prefer they come back again, and appreciate their business while they are there.
(2)D P.
Really unique. Predict big things moving forward. Going to be a historic local spot when they introduce their new "Brew With Us" deal where you get to sign up to make custom brews with their brewmasters. Place is awesome for food and beers. Awesome, that they literally brew in the restaurant if that's what you would call this place. So unique. Must visit. Never seen a "nano" brewery like this. Totally Arizona bred and born. Oh-So is def. not so-so. Check it out.
(5)Sarah L.
Mmmm, OHSO. I don't drink beer, but they have delicious cocktails and food. Plus, it's dog friendly, so I get to hang out with dogs. I don't have my own, so I live vicariously through the people on the dog patio. Thanks for sharing your dogs with us dogless folks! The food and drinks are prepared well and are good quality. There is ample space-indoor and out. Doesn't get much better than that! It can be pretty loud inside, so don't go there if you're looking to have a ton of great converstaion.
(4)Gee L.
Industrial style, yet upscale brewery. With trendy food. That let's your doggy come. No light beers for lightweights. We tried the Rita pizza and a taco plate. Both were fine but I couldn't get by the prices. I realize I am in a trendy Arcadia place where my doggy gets free biscuits. The Scottsdale Blonde brew was great, we finished off a pitcher. I didn't care for the pizza, it was a spray of pesto and some cheeses over a so-so flat bread. the bartended seemed disinterested in us. Worst part is the dang valet. This place is the Arcadia version of Postino/Vig. You get the good and the bad with some menu gems. Bring your wallet and a full bank account.
(3)Connie L.
First time visitor for brunch. I'm a fan. Sat outside near the front. Perfect day out. Got the Belgian waffles with agave syrup and two slices of bacon and mimosa for $10. Waffles were good. The compote was a delicious spread. Fruit tasted fresh. Bacon was very thin sliced. Very standard. Also tried the carnitas bowl, which was flavorful. Everyone else around me who had the burrito, or lox seemed to enjoy themselves, as well. Staff guy was great. Got our names to easily split the bill at the end of the meal. Very courteous. Not that much parking nearby because they offer "complementary " valet services. Some of my friends just parked at the CVS nearby and walked over.
(4)Zeke T.
Delicious food, just wish I had more to enjoy. Great beer choices, full bar, just sad to have spent 9.00$ on guacamole and 15$ on pork and I'm still hungry.
(4)Jaclyn B.
I'm a big fan so far. A bit hectic on a Friday night, we just stopped in for a drink and casual meal, so we opted not to wait for an hour - hour and a half for a table and just hit up the bar instead. The bar gets really crowded but the service was still attentive and friendly. The macadamia and vanilla beer was absolutely incredible. We also had the hummus appetizer which was average but good, and I had the veggie burger which was delicious. The parking was a little chaotic but I believe they had complimentary valet. We just parked in front of the dry cleaner next door which worked too. I've heard their brunch is great, so I will definitely be back, and I recommend you check it out.
(5)Christian C.
I'm never disappointed with OHSO! The food is great (LOVE the OHSO burger) and they have an amazing selection of beer. I would only suggest that they keep the favorites on tap, I hate going anywhere to satisfy a craving just to find out they're out. For you dog lovers, they have an awesome dog friendly patio. And DON'T FORGET to grab some if their dog treats homemade from the spent grain. My pup Ginger goes nuts for these treats. Can't wait till the hot Arizona summer ends so I can jump back on my beach cruiser, and bike along the canal with my friends to enjoy another Beer Brunch on the patio with my pup.
(4)Samuel W.
Awesome happy hour specials. Big beers. I have a blast every time I come here.
(5)Vanessa G.
Everytime I go here with my friends we have the same debate. Which is your favorite Arizona bewery.. for me its OHSO. Hands down. OHSO has that cool atmosphere, without the huge crowd, GREAT food.. and my favorite Arizona beer. They also have awesome cocktails, and a great weekend brunch special. But best part of it is customer service. I work with a lot of big groups and OHSO is our favorite place to go, they have a room that is for free to accommodate groups of 20+ if you need that privacy.
(5)John D.
I am in love with this place. Today was my first time and we need one in Tucson immediately! The parking lot was packed and just as I was about to get irritated I noticed there is complimentary valet service. Que fancy! The inside is super casual and clean and the staff was awesome! We didn't get to sit outside in the crazy cool and dog friendly patio. I saw a dog sitting on the a table outside! I ordered from the $10 brunch menu. Food plus 10oz beer or mimosa. I had the breakfast wrap, the wife had the breakfast flat bread. I recommend both. My girls had chicken tenders which were actual chicken with a tasty fried covering. They loved their food too. If you have kids, a dog, and hankering for good food you owe it to yourself to come here.
(5)Cara G.
We stopped in OHSO one Friday evening during happy hour! The small bites were perfect compliments to our happy hour drinks of choice! Our entrees were delicious and the service was remarkable! We will definitely return!
(5)Danielle G.
Came here to check out the dog friendly patio and the homemade dog treats. It's a really chill environment to get some beers, we decided to try out the pepper salad which was on the happy hour menu, it was extremely small portions for the cost of the dish. Yet, they have an awesome rotating beer list and great deals on pitchers. The fact that they have an assisting brewer course that you can sign up for is pretty cool, and the service there is great. I would love to come back and get some entree to test out more of the food. Also riding our bikes down there since it's near the canal route and they supply you with bike locks too!
(5)Jasdeep K.
A place I loved to frequent until yesterday. Suffering from acute food poisoning after eating their chicken wrap! They need to be more mindful of the freshness of the food they serve!!!
(1)Teri W.
I would really like to give them 4 stars.... Plus: - They offer free valet parking, which was both fast and convenient - The patio in back is dog friendly and has it's own bar (this is a large area) - They offer free, homemade dog treats for your furry friends on the patio - They have large booths and high top tables on the patio, with umbrellas for shade (and rain, which is why we ended up using it) - The entire patio is lined with the coolest fans (no pun intended) - they were bicycles and the wheels were fans. Really awesome! Minus: - The service was SLOW. It probably took at least 15 minutes before anyone approached our table - The inside is small (ish). There was at least a 45 minute wait because a large party had moved in from outside and took over the bar area - They were out of 90% of the beers I wanted to order. I understand, it happens. But after 4 different times of ordering and being told (after our server went to actually retrieve my order) that they were out, it was frustrating Overall, it's a cool spot and I would go back. I would just hope that they find a way to be more on top of their brewing, because it's really disappointing to go somewhere new and not be able to try the beers that are supposedly available (they hadn't just run out either). Update the menus or make sure your servers know what's available. It was such a process to order anything because he would go off to put in the order, then come back 10-15 minutes later to say it was out. This happened 4 times. We didn't eat, but the menu looked good. I would love to go back for their "backyard BBQ" on Sundays. And the next time I am in town, I am definitely bringing my dog - there should be more places like this in Vegas! Maybe I just caught them on a bad night.
(3)Cass H.
Sweet neighborhood bar, way better when the weather is nice because there is a killer patio. Lots of outdoor space and dog friendly
(5)Marc L.
A fun local establishment that has a dog friendly patio. Busy weekend brunch makes for a vibrant environment. The beers are good and yes it is ok to have one for breakfast. The Grovey goes well the the French Toast.
(4)Leslie G.
Best dog friendly patio! Great little $3 happy hour noshes, $6 any wine, $5 brewskis- gotta dog? Check it out!
(4)Perry M.
Ohso is probably one of my favorite spots to go to over in the Arcadia area. Tons of beers, great food, a friendly atmosphere and you can bring your dog. What more could you ask for. I was recently there and had the shrimp tacos and a veggie burger. I can honestly say it was all delicious. I sat at the bar on the back patio I find myself sitting in the back patio area more then any other place here, I just find the back area more comfortable with open seating, and I can bring my puppy. I like to watch sports on the Tv's and people watch. It always interesting to see people interact with other people and there pets. I particularly like the Orange Blossom beer. I have to say it is one of the better brews they have on tap. I say I probably come here once a month at least.
(5)Jeff E.
OHSO is oh so awesome. Like The Dude's rug, OHSO really ties the entire Arcadia Corridor together. Hopefully Nihilists do not take over this joint... ~Fud/Drink~ Everything here is tasty, from the craft brews they have on tap fresh to the meals they have available. I for one can't think of a more relaxing time in Arcadia than when I sit down here to eat and drink. The variety of beers and drink are superb and the mixed drinks are not over-priced. I have not chosen to try their in-house brews, but I have heard from a few people they are not other-worldly. That is fine, because the variety is there. Food items are tasty and never leave me wondering "well I wish I went to...". Happy hour food items are also outstanding and well-priced. Honestly, you get a great rate of return here for what you pay for, no matter the menu item. As you will see in a second, the atmosphere is perfect for the area. ~Atmosphere/Service~ The theory of a great atmosphere and experience is perfected here by way of the best patio experience in Arcadia. Outside near the canal, you have a bevy of booths to sit at and enjoy your company. The décor outside is fun, with barrels and numerous dog items all around. Oh yes, dogs. I am not a huge dog person, but if I were, I'd love to run the canal with my perro and then hop into here for a quick beer. The patio is so inviting and allows you to bring the dog, with a dog wash area and biscuits waiting for them. A very relaxed and cool atmosphere, the patio really is the perfect spot for numerous occasions. Inside is equally enjoyable with tons of wide open space for a couple, or 10 buds looking to hang. Service is spot on and quite attentive. I never have had a single issue when coming out to OHSO, they really do a good job of providing top notch quality service. ~The Downlow/Extras~ One extra for you: My favorite time to come here is on Sundays for their $10 Beer n' Brunch. For the $10 you get a great craft beer, and a super yummy, well-proportioned breakfast. Other than that, this is the best trendy spot in Arcadia for a craft beer or three. 5 stars goes out to them for Well-balanced menus, great variety amongst beer options, solid price points, and a beautiful layout to go with a great atmosphere. Come and enjoy OHSO, it will be your favorite beer spot on this side of town, I guarantee it ;-)
(5)Alana B.
Best bar on tap in the area! There are so many different beers, brewed here and elsewhere that are delicious. Combine that with a bomb happy hour, and this is a great place. It might be my favorite happy hour around around! Just think about it, come here after work any weekday and enjoy some beers with pretzels and cheese. That will make any headache from the workweek go away! I still haven't tried this place for dinner but I need to. As for the other food, it is good but nothing special. Try an Orange blossom, you won't regret it. Also, yes yes, dogs are welcome here and they're pet friendly. The outside patio in the back is the place to set, if the weather permits!
(4)Jasmine H.
Another great find for my friend! Came here specifically because they are dog friendly!! It was pretty busy when we were there, just in time for brunch on a holiday weekend so it was to be expected. We didn't wait very long though maybe five minutes? I brought my pitbull (yes all the way from Vegas as I was visiting friends and no she's not vicious) who would probably rather have sat on one of the chairs then on the ground. They provided water dishes and some pretty awesome doggie biscuits that my pup loved and ate right up. Awesome extra service right there! So we came here for the beer brunch deal which I think is an awesome deal and more places need to adopt it! I got the veggie flatbread + beer combo, which I went through two other choices of beer before finally settling on an IPA, they ran out of the most awesome sounding ones that was a little disappointing but won't deter from anything though! I really enjoyed the flatbread which was had eggs, cheese, potatoes, kale, and pico de gallo which I think was a perfect brunch or even breakfast flatbread!! It all came together into this perfect combination, probably because of the potatoes and cheese really that made it savory! I loved my experience here and can't wait to come back and try some other foods on the menu!!
(4)Tzarina W.
I don't have a dog but I love the dog friendly restaurant. Dog foot prints are scattered from the front door to the back patio - where it seems like the party happens! Bicycles surround the back patio with fully functional fan wheels for the Az heat!! Amazing! A doggie bench of doggie water bowls are available for the guests, as well as the bagged doggie treat! A bar area in the center front of patio awaits patrons. Doggie pics surround booth seats. It was neat to see all the dogs getting along. Even a table of 4 each had a dog! Service: food literally took 30 to 45 minutes after ordering to get to the table. Pretty bad if you ask me especially if cooking a burger takes that long to prep and cook. Thumbs down. :/ Beer Brunch (without the beer): Smoked sockeye salmon on a bed of arugula with pita bread and capanota and a mimosa - A simple plate to put together...anyone can do this. A light affair if you ask me ;) For a weakling like me, I prefer a virgin mimosa. Haha. ;) OHSO Rita - basil pesto, varied cheeses, garlic pomodoro sauce n micro greens - osho good version of the margherita Would love to see the upcoming Scottsdale location!
(3)Gabriel A.
Great place to get a $6.50 happy hour pitcher of quality beer from 3pm to 6pm. Good cheeseburgers as well. Outside patio is nice to sit out on. Dog friendly, bicycle friendly, easy to ride to on the canal.
(5)Ricardo V.
I'm updating my last review. On my last review I said the food wasn't the reason I rated this place so high. After eating multiple times I can say this is a great place for hanging out, drinks and dinner. The patio is great. There are lots of different types of beer on tap and this place is fun and the food is great as well.

Everything I said previously is still true. I just have more to add. The only reason I EVER go here now is when I want to take a dog with me. The food is abominable. The servers are nice, but the actual service is spotty and kind of strange. One time, three of us, with three dogs, sat on the patio, and we were moved by the waitress for no visible or coherent reason into a back corner where she proceeded to serve other people first. AND...they've added valet. I love valet when it's an option. I DESPISE valet when it's not optional. It's not really optional here. If it wasn't a super dog friendly place with decent beer, it would be straight 2 stars. Eat before you go. Food is SERIOUSLY gross. A friend of mine summed up the food here best. "I don't come here for the food, I come here for the company-I've had lots of bad meals for my friends and my dogs."

We've have stopped in here twice in the past year while visiting the Phoenix area both times were excellent. The first visit we only had beer and the selection was great. The beer menu has everything a menu needs which makes selecting your beer easy. The second visit we had dinner and some beers, the food was the best I had in a while, I wish there was somewhere in my town that was this good. The service was great, we had two servers because one went on break or something and both girls were very helpful. This place is a must visit while in the valley.

I love this place. It's right down the canal from where I live, and one of the few patios that I know you can watch a sports game outside. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. Did I mention how cool their patio is? They even have bowls of water so you can bring the pups along! And Crispin, I love that stuff, this place has it. Taking off a star for happy hour ending at 6pm and no reverse happy hour. This place is DEAD after about 10pm on the weekends. Come on... put the special on....you know you want to....and then this would be the perfect bar within a quick walk home. And I'd be your biggest fan!

Good beer, impressive local selection and really exciting food. The steak frites (small plate) is great and not a small plate, the shrimp arepa has interesting (sweet) flavors and the berry cobbler fruit dessert is out of this world...the cinnamon ice cream is well-worth the price of admission. They also feature apple pie from Pie Snob, which is a major plus. The side of gnochhi is a steal at $5. The $10 brunch deal (brunch and a beer/mimosa for $10) is a neighborhood favorite.
(4)Heather J.
We stopped here for Sunday brunch and had no idea how cool it was. It was incredibly busy so we had to wait awhile and when we did order our waitress had no idea what beer was out but it was still yummo! We had a great time and our daughter at the entire french toast, which was awesome! Wish it was closer to this side of town for us, but it was still super fun, will be back if we are on that side of town again!

Truly don't appreciate the pathetic TEASE they have by naming this place with initials, yet refusing to tell us what they actually mean. If there isn't a clear meaning, then you're lame for having a name like this. Please, drop the act. They don't brew their own beers as of now. They're contracted out by someone else (Grand Canyon I think, which doesn't have a good reputation for award winning beers). Large tap selection, but sadly it is heavily skewed heavily towards Arizona beers which are not exactly highly rated, nor sought after by those really into great craft beer. Luckily they still have some of the better regional beers from California & Colorado (among others) on tap as well. Food is extremely high in price, excluding happy hour. Maybe they'll do better than the failed German places in this location before it.

I love this place. I love the flat bread pizzas, I love the late night menu, I love that I can bring my dog, and I love the beers. I have a lot of friends that come in and out of town and I ALWAYS take them to O.H.S.O. It's one of those you have to try it places. The atmosphere is always fun and warm lots of things to look at and the food is great. Service is fast and attentive. I've been here for lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks. All great adventures. I am big on eating and drinking local and O.H.S.O. is my new favorite spot to have a relaxing drink. My boyfriend and I frequently come here and always bring our growlers to fill up. Can't wait for my next visit!

The outside looks pretty cool, but the inside missed big time. I think they were trying for hip, industrial... and instead it seems like a banquet hall. Lots of beers on tap, but both of ours were hardly cold, and my husbands was flat. He had the Pisa Flatbread, it was okay, nothing to drool over. I had the steak skillet thing... what a mess. Hardly any meat, and it's just a bunch of soggy french fries mixed with onion, pepper and some cheese. I usually enjoy checking out the Restrooms, as so many now adays are interesting... didn't even bother here. And they have valet parking!! Really!!? This place doesn't justify it. Big disappointment.... OK.... after I did this review, I got an e-mail from Jon, one of the owners. Was very surprised. Glad to know that they do pay attention to us Yelpers!! Good business Jon, and I hope that my review does give constructive feedback.... with such a response, we may give it another shot!! Good luck

Sad, but true -- another half-hearted attempt to create a local neighborhood bar falls short. The reviews on here already say it all, so here are my Cliff notes. Don't name your place something catchy, only to have no meaning behind it. We asked our server, and her answer was, "We don't know..." Make it up at this point, to avoid the buzzkill when the answer falls short. How about, "So-So" instead? Salads follow the motto, "Quality over quantity." The few little grapes hidden in the bottom didn't justify a $12 salad with no taste and bland dressing. I wanted to like, actually -- LOVE this place, and I was sad with the experience. The prices are high, and services is sub-par, and they might just get away with it for a year or so. I am the biggest supporter of local biz you will ever know, so it bums me out to write this. Maybe with some tweaks, OHSO can turn it around.
(2)David D.
I've been to OHSO once with a friend and another time with a date. I was excited to first go there due to their large arizona beer selection on tap. Walking in, the place has a very industrial Arcadia look to it. You could think of it as the Vig but with exposed cement board in the ceilings. The crowd is a nice mix, but I never got passed the vibe. It feels like a neighborhood bar where everyone knows each others name, but I don't know anyone. There doesn't feel like there's any energy to the place. Looking at the food menu, it's uninspired. My friend ate lunch there and said it was nothing that great. The thing I don't get is no happy hour. Okay okay.. there's happy hour.. but it's until 5pm. I don't work dental office hours and neither do most of my friends. With so many other places offering a better vibe, food, and happy hour within a mile, I just don't think I'll be going back again. I can sum up the whole experience to what happened on our way out. OHSO is like the candy jar my date and I saw when we walked out. She was excited to see it and grabbed one. A few seconds later she made this sour face when she found out it was black licorice.
(2)Mark W.
My review is limited based on happy hour and general layout of the place. I did not get a chance to check out food. Overall, kind of a neat, casual, funky layout. Nice indoor bar area, and really cool outdoor patio. And of course it was very crowded on the patio. Parking in a pain, go with valet, you really have no choice. But it is free and fast. Wish they had more of their own beers, but I did try their IPA and it was good. Overall, I liked the place, and will go back for food/dinner in the near future.
(4)Nikki D.
Weekend bike ride down the canal? Yes please. Especially when the reward at the end is a great brunch and a beer, or a huge mimosa, or 5, or whatever. My friends and I love the pooch friendly backyard patio... just make sure to get there a bit earlier to grab a table because everyone else loves the patio too. Great vibe, friendly people, quality beer. Boom. And don't fall into the canal after you're done if that is your preferred route to and fro.
(5)Carl C.
What's not to love about this place? You can do your own brewing, taste the best picks of the week, super cool backyard area that borders the canal (one day the canals in phx/scottsdale will be like San Antonio...don't get me started) perfect for a run or ride up to soak up some hand crafted suds and enjoy the hospitality. This place works very well right now. Right now as in the weather is perfect and not uncomfortably warm...that comes in June-October.
(4)Eric A.
Sub par service and received cold food. Forty five minutes for a cold burger and fries is pretty ridiculous would recommend 0/10. Would recommend the free beer though just eat before you come to drink.
(1)Rachel M.
Beers and food are really something special..service is also very friendly. ...beer selection is extensive and they offer samples... new beers are introduced periodically and I canr wait!! Oh Happy days!! Thanks guys...
(5)Melissa H.
I love everything about this place! Best back patio any time of the year. They make it comfortable no matter the weather. (haven't tried rain yet tho) :)
(5)Terry M.
I spent the afternoon watching football games and eating the Sunday afternoon BBQ special - all you can eat from 3-7. Met with the manager, Woo and learned about the place. Great foot, tons of beers Local and national. They are very involved with the community. The food was above average and the beer selection was outstanding. For Scottsdale, $5. pint is very reasonable and $9, pitchers. Shea the server mentioned they have dog biscuits. I brought one home and my dog went nuts. He loved it. I will be back, this time with my dog!
(5)Toni J.
After at least a dozen visits to O.H.SO, I just realized I never reviewed it. Maybe I subconsciously didn't want to endorse this Arcadia gem because I was hoping no one would find it... Well that plan didn't work! Here are the reasons I love O.H.S.O 1. Brunch: $10 for entrée and a beer (Or mimosa) 2. Dog friendly patio: Plenty of water and dog hooks near the table, so the pooches can enjoy the day too. 3. Beer Selection: I'm not a huge fan of beer, but I they have a great selection of draft beers and plenty of fruity girly options (which is what I'll drink). As a vegetarian, I have been very pleased with their menu, trying everything from the breakfast grilled cheese (minus the meat), O.H.S.O Rita flat bread pizza to the Yucca chips and have been very satisfied. This location is also pretty big, so it's great spot for large parties.
(4)Chrystalle B.
Ive been wanting to come here for a while, so when we left another bar in the neighborhood and the question of "Where now?" came up, i jumped at the chance to try it. Great beer list with lots of AZ brews as well as others. We didnt eat dinner, but I tried their Sunday brunch a few weeks later. Everything sounded delicious but my 2 friends and I all opted for the breakfast grilled cheese (fontina, prosciutto, green apple, w/ agave nectar and fruit on the side). I wish I wouldve ordered something else. The bread to cheese ratio was not good. Regardless, I would definitely come back to try something else. Both patios are awesome, the one in back is much, bigger than the front ones. It has tons of shade, misters, fans, and a large bar in the middle. OHSO is also doggie friendly (if youre into that sort of thing). I would definitely recommend this place.
(4)Jessica C.
OHSO is one of my favorite spots! They have an excellent beer list that changes quite often. Everything I've tried on the menu has been delicious, I recommend the green chile dip and the brisket sandwich. Beyond the food and the beer, the employees are the real reason I keep coming back. I have never had anything but excellent service here. If you're looking for great beer, food, and people OHSO is the place to be!
(5)Paul D.
Well, after visiting twice over the weekend and three times since the new year, I figured I had better add my review to the pile. It has a causal, very dog friendly vibe. The kind of place that fits perfectly in the Arcadia neighborhood. On the Friday night it was busy when I arrived there with friends around 8pm. A nice mix of locals and tourists ranging from dressed up to casual. The crowd died off around 10 or 11pm. On Sunday afternoon, the back patio was full of people. The access to the walking trail along the Indian School Canal pulls people in, especially if out waking their dogs. This place has water dishes and free dog treats. As I mentioned, VERY dog friendly. I came for beers with friends, but we had some food too. The flatbread was good with an appreciated, slightly flaky crust. The other food items were also enjoyable as batter than average bar food fare. TIP: Happy Hour is Monday through Friday from 11am until 6pm. All Arizona pitchers of beer (about 2.5 pints), all glasses of wine, and all house specialty cocktails are $6. By the way, in March they are opening a third location in Paradise Valley at the intersection of Tatum and Shea.
(4)Michael T.
Great nano brewery with several locations and more popping up all around town. Amazing patio for the AZ summers to sit on and enjoy a variety of local beers and the patio is dog friend. You also can't beat the Beer Brunch. $10 for brunch AND a beer. I was just recently here for a friends beer tapping party. You can actually purchase a package and OHSO lets you pick out ingredients and brew your very own beer in house and when it is ready, they tap it and put it on the beer list for sale. How awesome is that. All locations I have been to so far are great with large patios and great selection of beer.
(5)Lynnette S.
Amazing brunch deal for $10 which includes a hefty meal and your choice of a 10oz AZ brew or a Monster Mimosa! They have a fairly extensive craft beer menu and everything food related has yet to disappoint. I love how you can bring your dog, too! OHSO makes it easy with water bowls, homemade treats and enough shade/ fans outside that even an Arizona Day can't keep me and my pooch away :)
(4)Sarah H.
I like this place as a bar, but I haven't been impressed with any of the food I've tried here.... Will probably skip this place if I'm hungry
(2)Victor G.
Great place for brunch. A lot of different options. The beef jerky stick in bloody the marys is a nice addition.
(5)Mary C.
Oh soo many microbrews to taste! Small pitchers, traditionally warmer than your domestics. The meat & cheese plate is a great app-yucca chips too! Go when the weather is nice & hang on their back patio. Cheers!
(3)Ally K.
Being from Seattle, we love to go to brewerys and try local beers. The food was good as was the service. Definitely worth trying.
(4)Sami C.
Love the location and two patios but last visit our server wasn't that great. We went for the Great Pumpkin Festival which wasn't really anything at all besides a few pumpkin beers and a pumpkin pork entree. (Two of us out of the five don't eat pork). The appetizers we did order were alright but not impressive. Overall this experience was a tad disappointing especially since our server wasn't very friendly nor very attentive. I've been before and had much better service so I will be back and am sure the service will be better.
(3)Lynsey W.
Stopped in for breakfast. Got a breakfast wrap and a coffee beer (cant remember the name) off there $10 brunch and beer menu. Wrap was good, beer was AMAZING. Music and atmosphere were an extra bonus. Will return to try their lunch/dinner and of course beer. *update*- upon having dinner here I have decided this is just a beer place and I will not return willingly to eat here.
(3)Deborah M.
The noise makes it almost impossible to talk. The staff looks like the customers or the customers are better dressed. Staff is wrinkled, sunglasses on the back of their head, it's hard to know who you supposed to ask for help. Once you know, they are responsive, friendly and willing to please. The food is fair, dressings, sauced are too watered down. The food is minimal in terms of amounts for the money. It is a favorite among the neighborhood but these are now the adults whom hung out at the old Monastery behind Whitney & Murphy funeral home. I am beginning to think my fellow Az peeps have no idea what good casual food is about. The service in AZ is terrible, all of customer service in businesses here is terrible, restaurants and retail. watch out for the Valets, they drive customers cars too fast around the parking lot, here and Arcadia Tavern! I am entitle to my opinion since I have worked my way through school as a waitress/bartender , valet service manager and service consultant. Deb
(2)Collin R.
Great place. Great atmosphere, brews and food. Their own brews were good, as well as a large selection of craft beers from around the nation. Had the AZ Burger. Very good! Fries are just average, but the burger was moist, big and tasty.
(5)Andrew T.
So far, so good. Great selection of local and/or seasonally appropriate beers. Burger is one of the best I've had in some time. Go on and get that bacon. Looking forward to their home brews, starting to be served in August.
(3)matt b.
I have been here a few times too. Mostly for happy hour. You cant beat the 6 buck pitchers. I just wish they would add some food items to the HH menu. The food is good, the location is good, the atmosphere is good. Its all good!
(4)Lizzie C.
Good beer and good food, what more can you ask for?! I had their raspberry beer and it was good. I ordered their non-margherita flat bread pizza and it was really good but definitely not a margherita!
(4)bret w.
have been back several times over the last few months, it is always the same, great food great service great prices. Keep it up, and we will keep coming back!
(5)Andrea K.
I wish I was a beer drinker. But alas, I am not. But the people that I was with on Friday were and they had nothing but great things to say about the beer selection. I had cider...which really doesn't tell you much. But I did try their sangria and I really wasn't impressed. It was pretty awesome that the owner, John, came up and chatted with us for a good half hour about the restaurant. It has only been open for 6 weeks and they are trying different things with the menu. The micro brewery won't be up and running for another 6-9 months, but the beers that they had were from breweries local and from the western side of the country. He also let my two friends try different types of beer to see what they would like. I only heard amazing things about the White Chocolate beer that they had. He also explained to me why I may had not like the sangria, which was also interesting. I did not have anything to eat while I was there, but I had to say that the ribs that our neighbors at the next table were having smelled AMAZING! (I am not a BBQ person by any means, so that to me was a big plus) My friend and I both commented that we had to try this place since we drove by it so many times. I can't wait to go back and try the food...and update the review! :)
(4)Kendra S.
My boyfriend and I came here this past Friday night for dinner as we had both drive by the place quite often and have been wanting to try it out. The service was great and I liked the wide open space. We tried two different beer samples for a $1 each and settled on splitting a pitcher of Levitation which we both enjoyed. We ordered the green chile dip appetizer. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my boyfriend ordered the brisket. He LOVED the brisket and after taking a bite of it, I could see why. It was quite good. My shrimp tacos however, were so bland that I barely ate half of my meal. And it was a "small plate." I wasn't the biggest fan of our appetizer but after tasting my dinner, I decided I liked the dip a lot more and finished it off. Definitely do not recommend the shrimp tacos. One annoying thing was our meals came out right after our appetizer. A little time in between would have been good - but I'll take that over slow service any day. I'm giving this place four stars because of how great the brisket was and despite not liking my dish, I had a great time and think this place has lots of potential. I'll be back to try something else!
(4)Ae L.
The atmosphere is undeniable and one of the best in town! This is a great place to grab beer and some flatbread. They have a backyard and it is very chill and laid back. Best of all, you can bring the man's best friend! Go check out OHSO, where the beers are oh so good!
(4)Kelsey W.
This place is alright. Parking is so crowded you need to valet. Food is all pretty good. I've tried flat breads and burgers. The service inside is great, and because of this I'd happily come here when it's not so crowded (lunch or weekday dinner). However, on weekend nights it is disgustingly crowded. Last night we thought we'd try out the patio. Big mistake. There is a bar in the middle of it so that is the focus. It smells like a frat house, like beer spilled on the floor long ago and smoke (Is it legal to smoke in restaurants in AZ? Yuck. Is this 1985?). I wouldn't recommend the back patio unless you're trying to relive your frat days.
(3)Toryanni E.
Pretty cool atmosphere. The food was pretty good, looking forward to trying it again.
(3)J Marie S.
Stopped by for lunch and had the mahi and chips. Had to return to work so unfortunately could not enjoy a cold beer. But, back patio provided a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
(4)Marla R.
There are already 400+ reviews and a 4 star rating so I know that OHSO doesn't need another one, but I'm posting it anyway. This place is great! Friends, food, beer, great service, easy to bike to and dogs are not just welcome, but treated as guests - this place has it all. We were looking for a nice way to spend the evening with friends who live within a few miles of here, so we packed up our bikes and drove over to meet them. We all boarded our bikes and had a nice ride along the canal as the sun was setting. We locked up the bikes and noticed the outdoor dog wash, and free to borrow bike locks and bike tools as you go into the patio - they have thought of everything. There are also self serve dog bowls so that your pooch can have plenty of water to stay hydrated, and free baked on site dog treats that you can help yourself to. We didn't bring the dogs with us last night, but I took a doggie bag home for them and they were appreciative. Even thought it was close to 100 degrees last night, with the high power fans and the misters going, we were quite comfortable. The mister water dripped a bit on me and the table, but this is not fine dining with fancy clothes, this is bike in, drink a beer and enjoy some pub grub - so getting a bit damp was not a problem. I am not a beer aficionado, but the guys with us are, and they were happy with the choices (hoppy IPA and something called a quad - both gave me bitter beer face which means my husband likes it). I had a nice cool Framboise, and a local banana and apple cider. The bread board appetizer with meat and cheese and nuts and other goodies was great to whet our appetites for our main courses. i had a BBQ burger, ordered pink, and it came pink - perfectly done. The bacon on it was generous and had a great flavor. My husband had the green chile tacos and he was very happy - their tacos are make your own, which is more fun than having it all done up for you. One of our friends is going gluten free, and they have a special menu for that crowd. She was happy with her options and her shrimp tacos. I didn't get our server's name, but she was very thin young woman with a funky hairband. She was great. Even thought the place was busy with all of the tables and the bar full, she checked in on us often without being intrusive or annoying. The only negative is that this place is not closer to us.
(5)Dave T.
This place is awesome. The patios (one in the front and a much larger one in the back) are great. You can even bring your dog(s) to hang out! The service is great. The Happy Hour is amazing: $6 for a pitcher of delicious beer...yes please. The food is incredible, especially the burgers. Perfect for right after work.
(5)Tina B.
This place has amazing flat breads! Loved their beer sampler options and the patio for dogs was very unique (to bad I don't have a dog!) I will need to come back soon.
(4)Dave W.
We took mom there for little birthday party and sad that we did. The FLIES where every place, inside, outside, should call the fly bar. Makes you think what in the kitchen. Won't be back.
(1)Ryan A.
Delicious burgers and great service. We went later in the evening past the dinner rush but the ambiance was still great! Had some wine and beer with our burgers and have no ragrets. Not even a single letter. We will definitely be returning.
(5)Tom S.
I guess I'm a little confused on the beer drinking at this place. The beers are excellent, however you can only have a tasting menu of the six beers they have on tap. The only beer you can have a pint of are three beers that are not on the tasting menu. The beers on the tasting menu are excellent, however they don't want you to get drunk on you just drinking beer so you're not able to purchase more then the tasting menu size of the beer. As far as the food, the calamari is over breaded, but the tuna is nicely cooked. The burger that they are known for is a nice burger, however there were no jalapenos on ours, and enough cream cheese to fill 18 bagels. Mediocre food, mediocre bar, mediocre beer. Should have gone somewhere else.
(2)Don H.
Bring a big appetite but only a bit of money! Great food and drinks at nice low prices.
(5)Ian C.
This seemed to have a good reputation, from the people I've talked with, for food, but sadly, it appears expectations were set a little high. I ordered the waffles, as I had a craving the previous night, and had a mimosa with the meal (it was brunch on a Sunday at 10 am). The mimosas arrived (I was there with two others), and lacked any sort of flavor. The alcoholic content seemed rather low and the orange juice was decidedly bland (agreed by all). Then the food arrived, the other two had order breakfast burritos which looked like burritos - always a good thing. The waffles on the other hand, were distinctly cold and dry, as if they had been cooked first, or at the very least cooked an hour before we arrived. Upon further examination, they were more dry than expected, even pouring on the COLD syrup (which tasted like the cheap "syrup") couldn't take away the dryness. The waiter could be bothered to ask how things were until after other two had finished their meals (he had walked by three times during the meal). I had left three quarters of the plate and yet there wasn't a single question as to why I didn't finish it. Won't be returning for brunch or breakfast again, maybe for dinner as I hear the apple pie is good.
(1)Ryan J.
I stand corrected on the view of Camelback. Their back patio does a grand job showcasing that grand ungulate.

7 years strong, I religiously drive down Indian School past the German Sausage Co. Recently, I started seeing some activity going on...and then one day - BAM!! A sign pops up: O.H.S.O. Eatery + nanoBrewery . I couldn't wait to try it out, and knowing it opened just TO-DAY...I jumped at the opportunity. 5 stars might be a bit pretentious, but I'm giving them an A for effort and 5 stars because honestly, I'd leave my office late....night after night ...after night....and would see these guys STILL working at 2 and 3am...just to get the place open. It's apparent there is some serious sweat equity, late nights and blue collar effort to get this place going. I highly respect this and give them props. Not to mention, I love the simplicity of the place. Yet, I can see it being the new, semi-non-trendy place to hang out. I know I'll be making it a recent stop. Rumor has it...they'll be renting out bikes (check them out as you walk in) and they offer mini-pitchers for $5 before 5 with tons of local beers on tap. It's nothing fancy, frilly or Scottsdale...it's casual and comfortable. My kinda place. So let's get down to business: Beers on Tap....they carry one of my girly favorites the White Chocolate Ale but this time I went for the Count Hopula and Nut Brown. Both great! The O.H.S.O. Amber was really good as well. Girls who might not be big beer fans might be a fan of the O.H.S.O. Raspberry Wheat although it was a bit light for my palette. Had some small bites, including the Brewers' Choice which was a mixture of your choice of 2 meats and 2 cheeses, accompanied by caramel popcorn, roasted nuts, bread & butter pickles, a homemade fruit roll up, cheddar crackers and fresh Italian bread. There was also a date/goat cheese butter that rocked and another assortment of roasted veggie/fruit relish. Great starter platter for sure. All the bread is made in-house! The Sharp Cheddar was awesome...the Red Dragon was basically a Mustard Seed cheese (don't choose this option if you hate whole grain mustard :) ) They have rotating meats but on the menu today was a Colorado Elk Sausage....AMAZING! Loved it. We also added the Crispy Calamari + Spicy Seared Ahi to our assortment. It was great with a citrus zest. Although next time, I need to try the marinated skirt steak. All in all, I believe this place will be an OH-SO great addition to the neighborhood.
(4)Kelly A.
I like OHSO a lot! It's not the best place to eat as the food is not the best and it's a bit expensive for what you get. However, I don't go to OHSO to eat...I go there to drink on the patio! The patio is very dog friendly and it's one of the better patios in Phoenix. They have a good list of local beers, craft beers, and mixed drinks. This is a nice place to meet with a group of friends and hang out for a while. I also appreciate how accommodating the staff has been. I went there to watch the presidential debate and the staff was very willing to put the debate on for me. I had already gone to a few other places and they refused to do it--so I really appreciated OHSO's flexibility on the manner. Bring your dog, a few friends, and go enjoy a drink on their patio.
(4)Ryan S.
A friend and I decided to walk down here Sunday afternoon with her dogs to have a drink on their patio and I couldn't be happier with that decision. We really lucked out on the all you can eat BBQ (which included Ribs, pulled pork and Chicken) While it was all enjoyable - the chicken was by far my favorite part of the meal. As always, beer list is incredible and at $9 / pitcher, leaves you without much to complain about. I recommend this place and will be back on a Sunday sometime soon.
(5)Kels R.
I love OHSO! Amazing food, amazing people, great location and a true love of dogs! With all that they would get five stars. I deducted a star because we came for game day Sunday and they don't have the ticket or enough Tv's. Add that to the ambience and they have a new game day hot spot.
(4)Tiffany C.
Food is pretty decent, drinks are kind of expensive. My biggest issue is parking. You can either valet or park across the street which consists of like 10 spaces which are always full. I've not really explored the menu much but I've heard it's pretty good. Prices are a little steep though.

This place is so cute! It has an interesting, eclectic atmosphere that's a bit rustic (lots of wood), a bit hipster (lots of bikes and doggies welcome) and a bit big-awesome-brew-pub-sports-bar (big tvs and spacious - lots of seating, big booths, big bar, lots of room to move around). The food is yummy, the atmosphere is laid back and the service is pleasant. We had the fish tacos and the veggie burger, which were both quite tasty, well above the usual level of bar food. My friend and I are already planning what we'll eat next time we go!

Love the people service location Beers are always great Brunch for $10 and a drink!!!

The main reason why I'm giving this place 2 stars is because their burger gave me food poisoning. I had their regular burger and cheese because my boyfriend and I came really late and they only make a few things off their menu after 10. It obviously wasn't cooked or prepared properly, whatever the reason may be, but I got sick the next morning and was sick for the next 3 days. Other than that, our server was stuck up and condescending to us at first, after he realized we were under 21 and not here to drink, but he must have thought that I noticed because after two comments that my boyfriend and I noticed were a little rude, he gave us great service and I ended up thanking him for good service before we left. Still it was that first encounter. Neither one of us are 21, so we don't go out to new places for drinks just yet, but it doesn't matter. He was very condescending to us once we said we were under 21, which meant to him we must have been a couple of kids. And even if we WERE just kids, which we AREN'T, we didn't need to be talked down to just because we aren't 21, but love breweries and brewery food.

We sat on the patio on a Friday night around 845pm. The wait time when we arrived was around 45 minutes but we got a table in about 30-40 minutes. The patio was packed with two-legged and four-legged friends alike. Probably one dog for every two people. There were one or two troublemaker pooches that strolled through, but for the most part, all of the furry friends were on their best behavior, chilling under the tables waiting for scraps to fall their way. If you like the company of dogs, you will enjoy the patio here. (I can't comment on the interior as we were outside the whole time) I don't live in Phoenix and my friend who does says it was rare, but there was a ton of wind on this particular evening and the back patio is next to a dusty trail, so there was quite a bit of dirt flying around during our stay. It wasn't too bad but it was annoying at times. I'll chalk it up to a rare occasion. I ordered the seared Ahi salad. Four large pieces of tuna all tasted very fresh. A lot of times when I get an ahi salad I am disappointed in the amount of fish but I was pretty pleased with these slices. Just the right ratio of greens to fish. The dressing was sweet but not heavy. The red peppers and dried cherries were a nice complement as well. But beware, it does have a kick. I like my spice more medium than anything, and though I wasn't expecting much spiciness in this salad, it did have more than I anticipated. It wasn't unbearable, but just know that it is pretty spicy. A beer and a glass of water will wash it down just fine. Speaking of beer, they have a solid selection of beers you won't find everywhere. I got a hef for #1 but can't remember my second. I did taste the orange blossom beer and glad I didn't order a full pint. It was basically an orange creamsicle with a touch of alcohol. My friend got a pineapple beer but couldn't finish it due to its sweetness. The beer selection isn't massive, but there's something for everyone with different tastes. My friends got pork tacos and the BBQ burger and both recommended those as well. You will have to valet here as parking is pretty scarce, but pretty sure it was free with a receipt. We got out quickly since it had died down considerably by 11pm.

I would come back here everyday if I could. Too bad I live across the country, can you open one in Boston? This is a perfect spot for dog owners, which I am. So much beer, so much great food, so many wonderful dogs! I met some friends here while on a business trip and I had no idea what a gem this was from the front. As soon as you walk in, there's this great outdoor patio, great inside area and as you continue to the back patio, it opens up to a whole new world! The beer was fantastic. Craft brewed, and I ordered a small pitcher of amber on my own. I got a burger and fries and it was juicy, tasty and went perfectly with the beer. One of my friends ordered fish taco's and I had the pleasure of taking a bite. Yep, I'll be getting those next time. Fantastic place and I will come back any chance I get!
(5)Ben D.
Great casual atmosphere with a couple of nice patios. It's located along the SRP Canal so many people ride bikes to the place. I've been here on many Sunday afternoons for the brunch special which includes an entree and pitcher of beer. Last night I tried the homemade mac & cheese with Beef Brisket. It's delicious and if you're not famished it's a good one to split. The Orange Blossom micro brew is very good as well at $8 for a 32 oz pitcher. The service has always been consistently good and the staff takes pride in the place. The only shortcoming is the lack of appealing appetizers. If they expand these options (spice it up a bit) this becomes a 5 star pub.
(4)Tim A.
Always liked this place, but Sunday brunch has gotten ridiculous. This morning I was told there was a 30-40 minute wait, after standing at the hostess table for several minutes while the hostess scribbled on a dry erase pad. There were lots of empty tables, but we still couldn't be seated. Won't be going back for brunch. Also parking sucks.
(2)Mitchell C.
Amazing beer and food. The brew board is to die for, and their standard IPA was one of the best I've ever had. Dying to go back for more!
(5)J L.
If you are Dog lover this is awesome place filled with great menu and beer. Great service and you get to bring your four legged friend :) Is this can get any better????
(5)Escobar N.
An apology letter from the owner. A Jon Lame, sent me a letter trying to cover up the off flavored beer saying they "dump the batch". It's not the first time I have heard the same complaints from this place. So thy must be dumping beer left and right! Many people have said that they have experienced off-flavored beer every time they or I have been, the few times I have been or seen the place, there's always a wait.
(1)W C.
The ambiance here is really nice. The back patio is dog-friendly. The beer selection is great. If you're in the back and you order beer, it seems faster to get the beer that's available on tap out back rather than the beer up front. For me, the difference was 20 minutes. It took forever to get my first beer out but that may have been because they were busy. Other than that, no major complaints. If there is no space to park in the front, just park across the street.
(4)Dan S.
Went here for the first time toy with the GF and everything was amazing. I saw in multiple past reviews that the service was questionable - Not this time. We had great service the entire time we were there. Our water glasses and beer glasses never went empty and both ladies that helped us were extremely friendly. Food: The food was excellent. We started off with the OHSO Green Chili Dip. It has a bit of a kick to it, but was great. Highly recommend it. The brisket and pesto chicken sandwiches were also amazing. You get a lot of good food for your money. Beer: The selection is huge. The best thing my GF liked is that for $1 you can get a 3oz sample of most beers. She is more of a mixed drink girl but it was nice for her to be able to find one she liked.
(5)Morgan D.
If you serve Papago Orange Blossom, I'm probably going to give you 4 stars for that alone. This says more about how much I love Papago Brewery than it does about O.H.S.O., but that's how good this beer is. Another thing I love? Cream cheese. And at O.H.S.O., they put that on a burger. I can't tell you how good this combo is. It's mouthwatering. Honestly, nothing else I've tried was worth ordering again. That cream cheese, jalapeño burger ruined me. It is so good, that I have to stay away from this place unless I want to start exclusively wearing pants with elastic waistbands.

We visited OHSO for the first time last night with a good-sized group. I was so disappointed that we'll never be back. This is why: -After being seated, we waited 30 minutes before anyone came to our table. By the time someone finally did, he asked if he could take our orders. We looked at each other and said, "Um, can we see some menus?" This gentleman brought us menus and we never saw him again. -Our actual waitress came to our table about 10 minutes after we were given menus. After taking our orders, we never saw her again until she brought us our checks (which was maybe just over an hour later). This means that NOT ONE PERSON IN OUR GROUP EVER RECEIVED A BEVERAGE REFILL. I suppose this is because nobody ordered alcohol so we weren't "worth it" to the waitress. -The food took for freaking ever to come out. -The prices were high for the food that was prepared. I wasn't all that thrilled with my $12 burger. -We sat on the patio. The "shades" above us did not block out the sun so if one sat in the wrong seat, they fried. There is some kind of archaic air conditioning system or something that is so incredibly loud that it was all but impossible to carry on a conversation with the person next to me. The overly-loud music did not help. -The patio is next to the line outside, meaning we (including my infant and allergic mother) all had to breathe the cigarette smoke of inconsiderate patrons waiting to enter. Of course, even though they were far less than 20 feet from the entrance (as the law requires) none of the staff bothered asking smokers to obey the law. WE had to do that. -Valet parking is mandatory. It's "complimentary," but there is no such thing as free valet parking. Since we were not expecting this and we bank out of state (and therefore rarely carry cash) we were required to borrow $2 from a family member to tip the moron who changed my radio settings, moved my seat and messed with my rear-view mirrors. Really? -The seats are rather uncomfortable bar stools with no backs and therefore no back support. Try balancing a little one on one of those babies while eating. I get it, this isn't really a place for kids, but still... I prefer a back rest on my chair when I pay $12 for my hamburger. -Since I did not receive a refill on my beverage, I left the restaurant parched. The waitress was lucky that my husband got his hands on the bill before I did because she was given a tip. If I had things my way, I would have left very little, if anything... and I'm almost always a large tipper. :-( I see no reason to return.

We stopped in for lunch during a weekday. The beer we tried was a light pale ale with was refreshing on a hot day. We both had a barbecue burger. The burger was done as requested. All the ingredients were fresh including the jalapeños I had added to my burger. The service was friendly and relaxed. Budget more than hour for lunch if you are visiting during a weekday. I look forward to returning and trying the spectrum of freshly brewed beers they offer.
(4)Megan E.
Beer for breakfast? Yes please! I love O.H.S.O. for many reasons- their phenomenal beer selection, the tasty menu, the patio, the free dog biscuits I snag for the pooch- but their beer brunch is the reason I get up most Sunday mornings. For the bargain price of $10, you can enjoy one of several breakfast entrees and an Arizona beer. I'm a huge fan of the green chili pork and the biscuits and beer gravy. They have a great happy hour too with several $3 appetizers and $5 pitchers of Arizona beers. The only thing I don't love about O.H.S.O. is the parking. It's practically non-existent, but they do have valet.
(5)Shannon H.
I stopped here for a late lunch one day. Very cool looking inside. Seems like the kind of place that is better at night than during the day. But anyway, it was dead and the servers still kept a pretty upbeat attitude. I mean, no one was jumping out of their shoes to serve or greet us, but it is what it is. My friend is a major IPA guy so I guess their beer selection wasn't too great. Whatever, I had my normal Guinness with a Jameson back. ;) I ordered the grilled cheese because it sounded too good to pass up. I had them sub bacon for the prosciutto because, well because it's bacon. My friend had a burger which looked uh-mazing. We had to move tables twice because there were so many flies. Finally made it over to a corner away from windows (which you think they might shut due to all the flies!) and that was ok. But when you're in a restaurant looking over a menu, flies swarming around, landing on the table, all over the windows is quite a turn off. No one seemed to care, so I guess I'm crazy. Anyway, the food was good and I'm sure the ambiance and energy is even better in the evening or on the weekends.

In July my husband and I went to the North Scottsdale location and w were very disappointed but decided to return but to the Indian School location. What an improvement on the beer choices and the menu. Great beer and terrific food. My husband and I shared pork tacos which were very good but the seafood mac and cheese was fabulous! Very cheesy with lots of very large shrimp, My mom came with us and she had the pastrami sandwich and she loved it, she couldn't believe how lean the meat was. We finished off with the caramel apple pie which is to die for. It is a must have! We had great service, the place is very clean and of course dog friendly and our dog loves the complimentary dog treats. We will be back.

O.H.S.O. is probably the best bar I've been to in Phoenix. Coming down from Flagstaff on an evening in late May, my wife and I were looking to celebrate, and remembered seeing this place and feeling intrigued. They still don't have their "nanoBrewery" going, but it looks like that's coming soon. What they do have is a beer tap that knocked my socks off. If you like microbrewed beer, this is the place to go. Half the beer list is from Arizona, including some of our favorite Flagstaff breweries, and many excellent Phoenix area breweries. The left side is from slightly further afield. No Bud Light here. Our biggest disappointment of the evening was that we didn't bring our dog. As soon as we walked in the front door, we saw a flashing sign for a "Dog Friendly Back Patio." The first server we saw told us to sit anywhere, and that the patio was available. When we got out there, the air was cool, the atmosphere was open, and the music was fun but not so loud we couldn't hear each other. The patio was clean, and well established. Our server was attentive and friendly, but not oppressive. We didn't have dinner, just the green chile dip (a warm kind of humus), the beet salad, and some beer. All of the above were tasty, and just what we were looking for. At the end of the evening we went back inside for a performance by the house band, The Persuaders, who were fun to watch.
(5)Briana R.
We really enjoyed this place and look forward to trying it out again. We just had an app and beers but overall it was good. The service wasn't that good and they didn't bring the beer in cold glasses which was disappointing... Pros: Beer Selection - $1 tasters? I'll take it! Ambiance Green chile dip with yucca chips was fabulous!!!! Cons: Service (server just basically threw our drinks down and even got them mixed up, took a long time to get our drinks...) Giving warm-just-out-of-the-dishwasher-glasses for the iced-down-tapped-beers?? Big no-no when it comes to beer tasting and drinking!!! We look forward to trying this place out again!!!
(3)Keith B.
If you like really, really good beers and a great patio, there is none better..... (Make sure you hit the BACK patio, not the one out front.....). We did Camelback Mtn in the morning and got here about 1:00...just in time for their $6.00 happy hour mini pitchers.... Both made for a great day....
(5)Tk G.
Have you been here? No? Then GO!!!! They have an awesome beer selection from local, AZ, breweries as well as other breweries. Their food is A-MAZING. Seriously, so good. We've been here 2x and both times it was excellent. It's kid and dog friendly. You seat yourself and the beer selection is written on a chalkboard. They have brunch, and if you go, try the french toast and the breakfast burrito. OH MY, sooooo good! For $10 you get a beer (or mimosa) and whatever they are serving for brunch. Dogs are welcomed in their back patio. They also sell growlers, score! Service was awesome, both our waiter and the manager came to our table several times. We'll def be returning soon!
(5)Joshua O.
My wife and I went here and sat on the patio near the canal. The temperature was perfect for being outside and the view of Camelback was sublime. My only complaint about the seating was it was difficult to read our menus when we were there in the evening. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The chicken salad sandwich I had was very good and my wife loved the burger she ordered. All in all a very nice and relaxing Sunday evening dinner.
(4)David L.
Not a brewery at the moment but hopefully in the near future. The beer garden is pretty large and the building is cool. I enjoyed the Galic Pesto Hummus$9. Topped with a spicy cilantro pesto + pico de gallo and served with baby carrots, sliced cucumbers & warm herb pita bread. The snack was super filling. For a beer I enjoyed an Ommegang Witte $6. A traditional Belgian-style wheat ale with whispers of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. The quality of this beer is not quite there, just straightforward and simple.
(4)Matt M.
After an excellent time here Sunday, it's high time I get my review of OHSO out to the people! I've been coming here since day one, and the transformation in the few short months has been outstanding. The beers have always been excellent. Excellent selection from our local breweries here in AZ and from around the country. The food started slow....really slow. The first few times I ate here I had decided that it would just be a beer spot for me. But not lately. They have really stepped up their game and the beer brunch is incredible. $10 for a great plate of food (I prefer the steak and eggs) with a 10oz local beer on the side. Awesome. Where else can 4 people have breakfast and beers and get out of there for under $60???? NOWHERE that's where. This weekend I was suprised by yet another improvement: The back patio. What an AMAZING SPACE! They have turned this previously un-used area into an incredible drinking environment. AND they feature a local brewery out on the patio that will rotate regularly. Owner Jon Lane is seriously stepping up the involvement of the craft brewing industry and has his location poised to become the mecca of local beer. I sat in the sun, drank my Sonoran IPA, and revelled at how great a space and drinking locale OHSO has become. Just fantastic. Sometime soon OHSO will begin brewing their own beer and that's when this place will start to deserve a 6th star. Can't wait! OHSO is my favorite for beer and I will continue to come back here time after time.
(5)Alexandra C.
One of my favorite spots. Food, beer, and awesome ambience.
(4)Rosie T.
Love coming here for brunch. When the weather is nice, I love to come here and sit in the patio. Everything on the brunch menu is $10 and it comes with a beer or a mimosa...can't beat that deal! My favorite dishes are the green chili breakfast burrito or the churrasco steak & egg. I used to always get their breakfast flatbread but they changed their flatbread few months ago to this much thicker cracker crust that my friends and I are not a fan of...please bring back the old flatbread crust!...it was so thin, crispy & yummy! Anyways, cool thing about this place is it's bike & dog friendly!
(4)Allison L.
I have only been here for breakfast but it's a great spot! $10 for a breakfast meal + a beer or a nice size mimosa. The food was excellent and the staff were super friendly. Great atmosphere where you can bring your dog if you're sitting outside, watch sports and enjoy the crowd.
(5)Scott S.
Petty much the most awesome lunch in a while.over 30 beers on tap and green Chile sandwich is bomb
(4)Noor B.
Very weak 4. If I could give half stars, I would give OHSO 3.5 I like the location and the layout of the restaurant. We started with the spinach artichoke and crab dip, which was pretty good but a little too fishy, like the crab wasn't fresh. I had the OHSO salad, which was good. The cook on the steak was nice, and the greens were fresh. My husband had the gnocchi bolognese, which he enjoyed, but he felt that the sausage on the dish was overpowering. Red wine sangria was fine - nothing extraordinary, but good. The service was very slow, and honestly pretty bad. I don't know if our server forgot our table was there, but she seemed more interested in chatting with the table behind us than taking our orders and refilling our drinks. I also think the portions are small for the price. Overall, we had an OK time. I would go back for drinks. I'm hoping the bad service was a one time fluke.
(4)Rob H.
I went to OHSO again today (I find myself there two or three times a month). Once again they were great! Go for the beer but make sure you order some food - it's all great!
(5)Brenda B.
This is by far my favorite bar! the back patio is where you want to sit. Great atmosphere, large beer selection, and great for winos like myself too! I love coming here for weekend day drinking the best. It gets very busy so often the tables are all taken but if you give it 5 minutes normally a table will open up. Great food too. I love the white bean dip as an appetizer. And the veggie flatbread is probably my favorite meal there. I always take any visiting friends and family here! And always my pooch :) This is a great place for people who love riding bicycles to the bar and/or have dogs! They have free u-locks to borrow for your bike and it backs up to the canal so great for biking to and from. They also have water dishes for your dog, as well as homemade dog treats. There's hooks to connect your leash to. Really awesome bar!!
(5)Christy C.
What a great place! I've heard about it so much, and finally got to give it a try. The owner and manager so generously hosted Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue for a happy hour - and they donated 15% during that time period to the rescue - what wonderful people! Our waitstaff was so friendly and helpful - the place was crazy packed, obviously this is the place to be. They are incredibly dog friendly and a lot of people came there on bikes. A lot of people in our group really liked the food they ordered. Really, really good fries. I ordered off the kids menu and didn't love the chicken fingers (kind of a processed taste), but I think that is what I get for ordering off the kids menu - that is probably what kids like. :) So happy that I got to try out OHSO.
(4)Susan T.
Always have such an amazing experience here. The atmosphere is great!! The food is so scrumptious especially the veggie burger not only the best veggie burger but probably the best burger period!! So good I decided to yelp about it. Also recommended Sunday brunch
(5)Wendy S.
What a pleasant surprise! Great service, good beer, delicious food and they let you bring your furry friends?! Amazing! I will be back for sure!
(4)Jeff E.
Food was good. Beer Cold, Atmosphere fine. Has a dog friendly patio that was nice. Green Chili bean dip was too heavy on the beans and too light on the Chili. If you are going to have some chili dip, give the customer the option to put some heat in it. As it was served, it was not as spicy as my mint toothpaste. Nice place, I would go to again.
(4)Chris P.
This was a cool nano brewery with a good looking good selection. I only got to try a few beers and the shrimp cevici. The shrimp was nice size and very tasty for the price. I also liked the atmosphere and staff was friendly. Parking wasn't great but they have complementary valet which was nice. I would definitely come back for dinner.
(4)Alyse H.
My hubby and I came here because we had a gift certificate. The beer selection seemed to include a lot of fruit centered beers. They do offer brews other than what they make here. The atmosphere of OHSO was very hip and industrial and it was quite cool to see the brewers in action right behind our table. Gotta love the fresh scent of wort! We started with the green chili bean dip which was very tasty, but it didn't come with nearly enough pita bread to finish all the dip. The barbeque beef sandwich I ordered was so saucy that the sauce masked any flavor of the beef. It was absolutely huge and the bun was huge as well so I ended up taking the top bun off altogether and eating it with a fork. All in all, we decided the drive to this place was a little too long to really make us want to stop in again. As my hubby would say, we wouldn't "crave" anything from OHSO.
(3)Tamara C.
Amazing bar. Great drinks and really unique decor. Open air feeling with heaters for cool nights. Very clean and I didn't eat but menu looked good. There was stand area for dogs and bikes. One of the coolest places I've been!!
(5)James Swann S.
I have been to OHSO a few times and it never disappoints. The Sandwiches are great and you can add a BONUS burger and fried egg to any sandwich to make it something truly special. (You Really Can!) There is an ASS LOAD of great LOCAL CRAFT BEER ON TAP and they even have their own micro brewery making beers that serve the clientele in their own back yard. VERY COOL. Lastly, the DOG FRIENDLY PATIO is super sweet! Try this place ASAP!
(5)Allie H.
Great variety of beer and food. Love how you can bring your dog outside and it's totally acceptable if your dog climbs on the table and no one thinks it's weird! Awesome place for lovers of dogs and beer.
(5)D R.
Wanted to update after doing the brewers experience. Thats right, I brewed my own beer at OHSO! So basically you sign up for one of the dates on their iphone app. They have a list of dates and then each date has a different type of beer. So porters, ipa's, amber, then some interesting specialty beers. You pay but then they give you a gift certificate for the same amount back so it free then right? Anyway, expect to spend about 5 hours when you brew. Dave the head brewer was awesome and went through the whole process and answered any questions we had. Although you might think you are stuck making a plain old porter for example, they are great in embracing your creativity. You can add ingredients, make it more or less hoppy. You get to customize everything. Dave's first answer when asking about adding things is yes. He also explains why something might not work how you want and makes alternate suggestions. The brewing area is in the open so the whole time people were taking pictures and asking questions who were there eating dinner. This is pretty unique. Don't think i've ever heard of a place letting you brew your own beer and then letting you have it up on the board for sale. So you get to brew your beer and then you name it and pick a tapping date. Thats right, your own beer will be for sale at OHSO. Oh by the way, you can eat and drink while your brewing. If you need beers or food they will have it brought over for you. So lets recap fowks...You get to spend 5 hours brewing your own beer while drinking beer! Then you get to go back a month later and drink your own beer and see it proudly displayed on the beer list..
(5)Lisa M.
What a gem. The people are warm, welcoming, and knowledgable. The food is outstanding. And even better they give back to the community. Go for the fantastic beer and food, stay for everything else.
(5)Ashley F.
Okay let me start by saying this place is awesome!! We can go out for yummy beer and food while not feeling guilty about leaving the furry kiddo at home! They even make treats for them! Our pup Henry loved hanging with us and the service is awesome! Great selection of tap beers and the hamburgers are soooo good!
(5)Larry C.
Went with my extended family last night. It was a big group and we had my elderly mother with us. We had a long wait that wouldn't work for us. After about 20 minute, we told them we had to leave. In order to keep our business, they followed us out to our cars and gave us a big table in a private room. The service was excellent and made for a very enjoyable night. I had a sweet spicy burger that I loved and all others were pleased with their food. We will definitely return. We had a great time! Thanks, OHSO staff for going above and beyond!
(5)Kitty M.
If you like the smell of stale alcohol, oddly placed bar TVs and dirty surroundings, stop on by. We sat in the bar, waited a few minutes to be served, looked at the menu that appeared to have been in it's own food fight and lost, and both decided to walk out. Menus are an indication of the level of restaurant cleanliness. Between the grime and lazy service, not sure how this place stays in business.
(1)Dale K.
I like the place and the food is great but we waited a hour for a table and I could do without so many kids in a fully stocked bar
(4)William H.
Great food and beer!!
(5)S T.
From the moment we sat down the waitress had a huge bad attitude. During the 20 minutes we tried to order we did nothing but shake our heads in disbelief at her crap attitude. Beyond that, the bar manager informed us well over half the beer selection wasn't available because they had started cleaning their taps too early.. Total disappointment.
(1)Eric R.
O.H.S.O. is where all good beer drinkers will spend the afterlife. I feel like I've lived here recently and sadly have never written a review. The reason is because each time I've come here I've inevitably wound up trashed and hungover the next morning. As a result I've sadly neglected my review of O.H.S.O. so this is long overdue. I first came to O.H,S.O. for a company function and they put together an awesome special menu for us complete with beer pairings. Each course was amazing from the Mahi-Mahi sliders to the meat to the dessert. The owner came and told us his story and it was really inspiring to see someone turn their back on corporate life and follow their dreams, which in this case is all about beer. I actually have this fantasy about laying under one of the taps with my mouth open and just saying "pull". The hard part would be choosing which beer. There are SO many varieties that you can be confident that there is something for everyone. If you're not sure, or overwhelmed like I was, the staff there know their stuff and can point you in the right beer-drinking direction. The entire place is cozy and inviting, from the bar area to the lively patio. No matter where you sit, you'll always be surrounded by friendly beer-lovers. No need to leave your four-legged friends at home because the patio is dog friendly, complete with the "Barking Bar" to keep them hydrated. O.H.S.O. is definitely on the "Best of the Valley" list and a great choice whether you're local or from out of town.
(5)Kerrie F.
Like the atmosphere and well thought out menu! The macaroni brisket is excellent. Huge portions. Sweet potato fries perfectly done. Comfortable seating too. Dog friendly and bicycle themed. New favorite for us. Hated to leave they never rushed us, but certainly made sure to be attentive.
(5)Loren J.
Gotta eat/drink here!,... The food was unique and delicious, I had the Del Mar Mac n cheese, with shrimp, crab & bacon. Also got a "pitcher" of Papago Brewery Orange Blossom beer, so smooth refreshing and tasty with an amazingly creamy finish. The pitcher are small, about 3.5 glasses of beer, but the price was still cheap. Service was beyond great. Our party of six had one picky eater and the waiter sat down to go over each dish she was deciding on, & at the end he offered to split the check for our party of 6 before we even asked. We WILL be back again & again.
(5)A C.
Wow - this place was absolutely PACKED on Friday night. After the essentially mandatory valet {bleh}, we waited about 30 minutes for a front patio table, as we had our dog in tow and couldn't sit inside. The back patio was an hour+ , but I wouldn't have wanted to be there anyway. We came to eat and the back patio was really full and more of a bar scene. My husband ordered a beer and the server was really pushy to get me to order a drink. I finally snipped "I'm driving" and he stopped asking "are you sureeeee you don't want a drink? a mimosa? a beer?" every 4 minutes. My husband appreciated the beer selection and found a couple IPAs he liked. Prices were in line with normal beer prices in the area, about $5 a pint. We ordered the Arizona burger and a regular cheeseburger. I was extremely underwhelmed. The fries weren't good, the pickle tasted weird and the beef was not properly seasoned. You can order "pink" or "not pink" {aka well done or mooing}, which is stupid. I would much rather have a {cheaper} burger from The Stand just down the road. In an attempt to redeem our visit, I ordered a slice of the caramel apple pie {$7, brought in from Pie Snob}. It took way too long to come out and was again, underwhelming. So disappointing. I wanted to like this place, as we love beer pubs and supporting local businesses, but it just didn't do it for me. I am unlikely to return.

What can I say.... This place is great! Beer selection is phenomenal and the brunch and a 10 oz. AZ beer for $10 is quite the deal! The back patio, which is dog friendly, is extremely relaxing on a nice AZ day with views of Camelback mountain. Bring your bikes as this is located right off of the canal trails and plenty of space to lock them up.

You can bring your dog and they have free dog treats. I loved the outside patio with the view of the mountain. The beer options were great and the sandwiches were tasty. Large sandwiches. I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the beer and views. The patio decorations were bike themed. LOVE LOVE LOVE Oh yeah, and free valet parking too.

Stopped in today to check out their beers and the digs!! I didn't do any "research" before I went so...only two or three Ohso beers on tap.... That's ok I settled on one rather than getting a flight. However, due to the great digs and the wonderfully kind and chatty beertender Justin, I will be back another time for some different beers!! Thanks Ohso!!

The beer was great but their customer service was not. I came in on a Sunday afternoon around 1...not that busy as I sat at the bar. The first server that approached me was helpful and engaging. She left and no one seem to take over that side of the bar. The server only engaged other folks. Sat there fairly long time to order, had to ask for water twice....not sure if I would go back, not a fan of being treated that way. Still gave a good tip for the beer and food folks...but I wish I could put that on the tip. Maybe one should get there beer to go...

Drive past this place every day to and from my trek to work. I first noticed it a few months ago when they put up the signage. The cool, sans serif font and brightly-lit sign caught my attention. As a designer, I'm always intrigued by good design. So I had this one in my mental "to do" list for quite some time. Finally hit it up last night and admittedly was not impressed. Upon walking in, it seemed very bare. I'm all for minimalism, but it didn't seem designed that way on purpose. It felt like when you live in a big house with not enough stuff to decorate it. The layout was sort of odd and it just felt empty. Granted, we went when it wasn't very busy, but still. That was what I immediately felt upon walking in. I ordered the prosciutto salad and my friend the cheeseburger with gnocchi and bolognese. They had a pretty good beer selection, but neither of us felt like drinking so will have to review that at another time. The service was pretty fast and our server was very pleasant, as was the rest of the staff we encountered. The presentation of the food was attractive, so I can appreciate that. But I found my salad to be fairly bland with not enough dressing. I don't even like a ton of dressing, but it was just an awkward salad to eat, if that makes sense. It came with some homemade cheddar crackers which were also somewhat bland. I did not try my friend's cheeseburger, but he said it was pretty standard. Good but not amazing. The gnocchi and bolognese was way too sausage-y and didn't seem like anything special. Overall, a little to pricey for mediocre food. i like their concept/design and think they could take it a lot further. (hire me!) ;)

I went to OHSO on a busy night (Oregon vs ASU) and the place was packed. I got the Mahi Tacos and they were fantastic. The dish came with about 6 or 7 small tortillas, some slaw and a great sauce. I thought it was fun to assemble my own fish tacos, something I wasn't expecting. I ordered the Monkey Knife Fight beer (can't pass up a beer with that name) and it was also really good. I was loud there but I assume it was just because of the football fans and if you live in the area (Arcadia, Scottsdale) you can actually ride your bike on the canal and get there really easy. The best part by far was the take home doggie treat at the door. I thought that was a really good touch. Their menu was diverse enough to accomodate everyone and there are so many different beers, you could spend a few days drinking there and never try the same one. They get new beers on tap often to keep things fresh as well. I recommend this place for sure.

Cool spot! The GOOD Amazing selection of beers Decent deals for micro pitchers AWESOME Arizona Burger Good location The BAD Horrible Beef Brisket Sandwich - sent it back. It was just super DRY. Maybe just an off day. Flatbread pizzas are decent at best. Everything just slides right off it because the saice is too watery. NOISE- This place very badly needs to install some sound diffusers on the ceiling. There was a table of 6 drunk and laughing girls at the other side of the restaurant and we were blown away by how the sound carried. In a concrete place like this they need sound panels.
(4)Queen Happy Face X.
Beer was okay.... Couldn't find anything on the menu that wasn't fried or full of bread. My friend ordered a pizza and it came out wrong three times.
(2)Brian B.
Since my first review, I have been back a couple of times and had a chance to try out the menu and the dog patio. All of the food I've tried has been great, and the burger is one of the best I've had anywhere, and worth the price which is just a bit higher than average. This is definitely my favorite place within walking distance of home. The (dog friendly) back patio was nice and I got there as they were starting to close it down for the night and the bartender was over it. He obliged and served me and a few others who arrived a few minutes later, but he wasn't happy about it. I don't know if they serve their entire beer list in the back or if he just didn't want to have to go to the front to get them, but the beer list I got back there was a fraction of the list up front. Still, there were some good options and if that is the tradeoff for having my dog with me, I'll take it.
(5)Justin K.
I like this place. I'm rooting for it. It has some good things going for it, and some not so good things. The Good It has a good beer selection. I love a place that has good beers and not "many beers on tap" that prove to be the stuff sold at 7-Eleven. It's broken down into AZ based beers, and non-AZ beers to explore. The place is also has nice decor. It has a minimalistic vibe, still feels local and can see it becoming a go-to place for people in the area. The Bad Understand, I'll give a "get out of jail free" card here because the place is new and I do plan on going back to see how it matures, but for now, it has some growing pains. The service has been hit or miss. I've been several times. When busy, I have to fight for attention to place an order. When slow, I still need to call attention to the servers. If you're busy, that's fine. If you're slow, don't hang around with the other servers and chat. Once they discovered us, they were attentive. The food is average. I can understand this for a place wanting to be known more for their beers, but when you're official name includes the word "eatery", the food should be good. I've had the flatbreads and they can be better. Final comment is that I'm excited to see how their own "nano beers" turn out. I believe they are not allowed to sell their own brews just yet. Will be interesting to see how this place matures.
(3)Kim O.
A great neighborhood bar.. Good food, good drinks.. Love the $10 beer brunch, love the back patio, staff always friendly and helpful! Of course, great beer selection and one of my fav burgers!!
(5)Jason B.
Great beer, yummy food and a fun atmosphere; I'm a fan.
(4)robert t.
Tried it for the first time and was super impressed with the food. It was a quick lunch, had the Arizona Burger (if you like spicy), I have to disclose I am not a huge burger person but I do like burgers, having said that it is now the best burger I have had in town (better than the VIG (previous favorite)). And their sweet potatoes were also better than the VIGs, again disclosure... I do not have anything against the VIG it is an awesome place and we will continue to go there (specially for their amazing BreadPudding Dessert) I just happen to like the food at OSHO better, my new home for burger and sweet potatoes.
(5)Greg C.
Been to OHSO a few times since opening and there is a lot to like about it. First off, there beer selection is great! There is a wealth of choices available, many of which are not commonly seen or carried at most bars or restaurants. For the micro brew fans, you will love this place! It gives you the ability to try some of the best selections out there from across the state and also some of the most popular out of state brewery's. OHSO scores high marks on environment as well especially now that the new back patio has opened. Great idea to do that especially with the canal behind it and the limited space up front. If you get there during happy hour and wonder where all the people are, they are out back! My only downside to OHSO so far has been the food. I like the creative menu idea but nothing I have had has ever stood out in any way. It is neither good or bad, just average. I guess I tend to compare everything to 4Peaks and that is hard to compete with. But overall, who cares. Lets go drink some beer!
(4)Ken B.
Great happy hour spot, although the pitchers of beer always seem to be served Luke warm. I know it been hot this summer, but their has been times throughout the year where the beer is always warm.
(3)Morgan C.
I don't know what all these three-star reviews are about, because OHSO is legitimately awesome. In fact, it's probably my favorite bar in Phoenix! I went for the Pie and Beer event and even though they had run out of pie by the time my friend and I arrived (which sucked even more because I could see other patrons enjoying pie while I waited for a table, and it looked amazing), I was delighted by what I could order, which was 1 Cherpumple beer, 1 Coconut Joe beer (hands down our table's favorite), and 1 Amber Creek. Every beer I had was top-notch. I also ordered the calamari and Ahi Tuna appetizer, which was quite tasty (my friend's friend said it was the best calamari he's had in Phoenix, although I believe that honor goes to Hiro sushi). The burger he ordered though looked amaze-balls. The beer is definitely the star of the show at OHSO though, which is exactly how it should be.
(5)Tasha C.
We've been dying to try O.H.S.O. for a while, but had never made it over. We have now been there twice, and it was even better than we expected. They are BEYOND dog friendly, and that's what we were looking for. We have brought our dog twice, and everyone is super friendly, and welcoming! The last time we visited, there was a dog event going on (what we went for), and despite it being VERY busy, the service was quick and friendly! The food is VERY good, and I couldn't think of a negative thing to say about the restaurant! Can't wait for the PV location to open!
(5)Momzj M.
excellent place to eat, and hang out. Food is super. the burgers are to die for. The staff is so cool and the beer is cold
(5)Travis B.
review to follow does not indicate dissatisfaction with OHSO. i still love the place, the beers, the patio, the location, the food. service on this occasion was far, far from expectations at OHSO. work happy hour. arrived with only a few minutes left. the waitress says, "ok guys, last call for happy hour, what'll you have" and then walked off. so we grabbed another server who seemed to be helping our previously arrived friends. the first waitress comes over and shoo's him off, asks again what we'd like and again, starts to walk off! what...???? we quickly call back for her and shout out our orders. the remainder of our experience that evening, she seemed frustrated with us and put out...never smiling once...which is unusual considering the stellar service we normally get. i understand she was trying to get last happy hour orders in, but all we needed was 5 seconds for her to write our drink orders. anyway, a one time fluke i think. of course we'll go back!
(3)Soo Jin M.
Ok, so I've been back a few times - couple for brunch and once for happy hour since my last review. Overall, the foods mediocre and I noticed they serve the beer colder now. I do appreciate the beer selection (the white chocolate one is my favorite, sweet but not too sweet like so many others!). The shrimp tacos are passable, salmon flatbread brunch thing was ok. Same with German sausage plate. My favorite and the one dish I feel like beats other restaurants is the french toast. This is the only thing I've found that would make me go - I would like to go to OHSO!
(4)Olivia D.
Came to OHSO for lunch with the family. Beautiful patio but there were flies everywhere! I've since gone back at night for a drink and there weren't any flies so maybe it's not an issue anymore. Anyway we were sat at a table and left with menus...dirty menus. Major pet peeve of mine! Service left a lot to be desired for but the food was pretty good. I got the Salmon BLT and it was definitely the best dish at the table. Beer selection was great too. Overall, I'd go back again for the patio and beers!
(3)Taylor F.
Stopped for a Late Sunday lunch on the way to the airport. I had the AZ burger with just the right level of heat (fresh jalapeños) and my husband had the brisket sandwich which was bomb. Great drink menu and nice local beers. A great spot, if only we lived here to go more often!
(5)David F.
One of the best burgers I've ever had. The staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating to my dog. Have heard a lot of good things about this place and glad it lived up to the hype. Will be back soon
(5)Mitch S.
Yep. This place is as good as it gets. When I lived in Tempe, Boulders on Broadway was my friendly neighborhood bar. Now that I have a more permanent location in the Arcadia area this is where I go. A quick bike ride up the 48th street greenbelt and im there! As everyone says, the back patio is awesome. I spend the majority of my time here. Love seeing all the different dogs and love all the local beer choices. I am currently drinking quite a bit of dragoon IPA which they seem to always have on tap. The prices are fair and the food is great. I like their small bites menu for late night munchies. A couple beers split up with a pretzel makes for a good night. If you have friends in town and want to show them a little local flavor, check this place out. So many local beers and they also micro-brew in house. The back patio shows off our great weather, their menu features local ingredients such as the yucca chips. This place is the epitome of your local bar.
(5)Barbara S.
First time at this very popular place! We tried to get a seat on the back patio as the weather was beautiful - but it was a 45 min. wait! Our tummy's just couldn't wait that long so inside it was. But all was good. Our waiter was awesome. When we told him it was our first time at O.H.S.O., he gave us a 'tour' of the happy hour menu, explaining the beers, and just generally answered every question before we could ask. The happy hour starter of thai-spiced hummus was so good! (I almost embarrassed myself by liking the bowl to get every last bit!) The beet salad followed, and as I usually do, I asked for the dressing on the side. It came with EVERYTHING on the side. I don't know if that's how they always serve it, but the spinach/greens on the plate, surrounded with little bowls containing the red and yellow beets, tomatoes, pecans, goat cheese, dressing. I piled everything on, drizzled on the dressing, and dug in. Very, very good. Fresh greens, the tomatoes tasted like tomatoes, beets yummy and the dressing flavorful. The brisket sandwich was huge! Half was taken home for lunch the next day. Flavorful bbq sauce. The menu indicates this this a staff choice and my son concurred! The spicy green chile pulled pork sandwich and jalapeno slaw was tasty, too! None left to take home, it was that good! Good selection of beers and other libations. The flights are inexpensive and a great way to taste some of those beers you aren't too sure about! Our waiter told us that another O.H.S.O is coming to the Paradise Valley Mall area...but didn't know when. That'll be awesome! Another great find. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Kris S.
Our lunch crew had 2 apps and 2 entrees. Steak and fries and the pretzel board apps were elevated and tasty. Pastrami sandwich and the burger + cheese can come with sweet potato fries. Pastrami is spicy and the burger comes with bacon... Thick bacon. Worth it. We'll be definitely go back.
(4)Matt B.
I've heard good things about this place for a while, so when we had some family in town, this seemed like a great choice. We don't need anything fancy, just a cool atmosphere, good food, and cold beer. We all thought the place looked great, a little loud maybe, but otherwise a great concept. However, that's basically where the fun stopped. It was uncomfortably warm inside. At first we thought it was just us, but looking around at other tables, people were fanning themselves. And then, as soon as we sat down, inside, we were immediately swarmed by flies. There were 4-5 flies landing on us, our food, our table the entire time we were there. Maybe some cold beer could save this experience? Negative. We tried 4 different pitchers. All of them just slightly above cold. They don't supply you with frosted mugs either. So here we are, inside, sweating, swatting at flies, and drinking less than cold beer. Also, 2 of the 4 pitchers, were just flat - The Scottsdale Blonde and the Grovey. When you poured from the pitcher, there was zero head. And it tasted flat. The food was just ok. Collectively, the skirt steak, the braised pork, and the brisket sandwich were ok, but we all decided, they were a little bland. The surf and turf received high marks however.
(2)Reese C.
I looooooove this place. If you have dogs or are a bike rider and love beer, you will too. Amazing back patio that is dog friendly, huge area to park your bike, amazing brunch that includes a $10 special for brunch and a beer. How sweet is that. The food is consistently delicous and the service is always prompt. They are also great about supporting local breweries and have a lot of events there.
(5)Mark D.
I'm only in town for week and I want to go back every evening. The patio area offers a fantastic view of camelback mountain. Their beers were excellent & the food was good too. Just a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
(5)GT W.
OHSO is one of those places that I wish was more prevalent in big beer cities- completely dedicated to local tap only beer with a great, relaxed ambiance and good food to boot. Really fun atmosphere which I will assume was a commandeered out of business Joe's Crab Shack complete with massive sports bar patio and circular wood bar. Interior has a full restaurant seating, and an exposed-to-the-elements active nanobrewery. Service was quick, knowledgeable, friendly. Beer selection was large with a focus on local breweries. Half the tap list was Arizona beers, which was incredible. High-quality offerings overall. My only disappointment was that their own beers made in house were not so great. They allow amateurs to brew on their system and make god knows what. But then, they sell the beer to the public. That is a bold move in my opinion as you are 99% guaranteed the beer will be awful. Didn't eat here, but menu looked nice.
(4)Cindy L.
Ordered The Gobbler with sweet potato fries. The burger is on the sweeter side with the pear compote. In addition to the bacon and the tomato, it was a sweet, savory, and salty experience. I really love sweet potato fries (they make them perfectly here) but suggest pairing the burger with another side. It turned out to be an overly sweet combination for me.
(5)Stephanie K.
OHSO is one of my favorite places in Phoenix and it has become a well known establishment among breweries and bars in the city. I have been here more times than I can count but each visit was memorable. There are 2 locations now but I still prefer the original one in Arcadia. The atmosphere is wonderful! OHSO is super dog friendly so there are always a ton of pups hanging out on the back patio. The back patio is amazing but it is always packed on the weekends so I usually end up on the front patio which is a little quieter. OHSO is brewery so obviously the beer selection is out of this world! The best part is that they have an ever changing selection of their own beers. I'm a big beer fan and I love trying new beers. If you can't decide what beer to have, you can try as many as you would like for $1 each. It's like your own personal beer tasting which is great fun! The food at OHSO is great but not fantastic. Some of my favorites are the crab dip, hummus, flat breads and the veggie burger is one of my favorites. Brunch is a great deal at OHSO. For $10, you get a full brunch entree and a large beer or mimosa. Such a great deal with delicious food and local beer! If you are really into craft beer- check out OHSO for their brew your own beer. Every Saturday morning they hold a brewing tutorial and you can make your own beer that will be tapped at OHSO a few weeks later. This is how OHSO keeps their revolving taps of interesting beers. Check it out if you haven't been or just go more if you have and hopefully I'll see you there!

We came tonight for my son in law's graduation party. The service was outstanding even considering the size of the group; the waitress kept our names and tabs straight. Delicious beers and the cocktail I had - The Camelback - was a terrific old fashioned. Had a brisket sandwich which although fantastic too big to finish. It was a great time and the patio was perfect!
(5)Emelia W.
Went here with my mum and a friend for brunch since its pet friendly and our friend has 2 mini huskies. We got some hummus and waffles and eggs, bacon, and toast and the diced potatoes and toast are just ok but the waffles were AMAZING. The servers are nice and attentive, and I think it's cool that each table has some biscuits for pets. I think the only thing I particularly didn't like was the music above us blasting out a song with the f bomb as we started sitting down. I mean don't get me wrong I curse but it's not exactly what I want to hear eating breakfast.
(4)Shelby C.
SUCKS WORST SERVICE IN TOWN!! Don't come here. They are terrible servers and bartenders. Your JOB is to serve people NOT to gaggle.
(1)Aura C.
Came here for lunch with a friend after driving past it so many times. But it was a beautiful day and they have an area that is wide open to the outdoors. I ordered the bbq burger. It was pretty good. I can't complain. The service way fine as well.
(4)Meghan M.
I really like OHSO. It was fairly crowded when we arrived on a Saturday night and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. We headed to the bar to order some beer, then stood out on the patio since it was so crowded inside (it was raining, but we are Northwest people, it didn't bother us!). Just a few minutes after ordering our beer, the hostess found us and brought us to our table! We were seated much sooner than we expected, which was awesome. The food turned out to be pretty good. We ordered the calamari, spinach crab dip, steak and fries, and two flat bread pizzas (yes, we were hungry). The only thing we weren't big fans of was the Spanish chorizo and potato flatbread pizza. But we all agreed that the veggie flatbread pizza was delicious. There was a huge selection of beer from many different breweries - I was surprised that only two of the beers were made by OHSO - but I guess that is why they call it a nano brewery. I like the ambiance here. The music is good, and it is just a casual, laid back place to visit with friends while enjoying some good beer and food. If I wasn't stuck so deep in the suburbs, I would probably come here more often!
(4)Lindsey P.
Came here for Sunday brunch with the boyfriend. A little hungover from the night before... go figure. If you can ride your bike or walk here, do that. Parking was a nightmare. No, I don't want to valet my car but thanks anyway. $10 for a beer & a meal? That is something I'm willing to invest in. Given the parking situation, we figured the place would have major wait times... not the case. We were seated immediately. The inside looks like a hipster warehouse. Is that a thing? It is now. Atmosphere is laid back. Really nice beer selection. There is something for everyone... and brunch was fantastic. I had the churrasco steak & egg. I don't know if it was my hungover state of mind but the proportion was perfect & the flavor was spot on. After brunch, we walked out to the patio. What a cute little spot. I love how dog friendly everything is... they have a little dog washing station. AW. Adorable. Can't wait to go back. :)
(4)Trish W.
Pleasantly surprised. The food was extremely good. I had the kale and pear salad with salmon. I witnessed a number of others enjoying their chosen selections as well. The wine was delicious and the service stellar. Nice bar feel; indoor and an outdoor patio (dogs welcome through Oct). Brunch specials, Sunday BBQ, etc. Seems like a place with lots to offer. Definitely a neighborhood spot. My only criticism. Way too cold to have the garage door up; trendy but not practical unless you bring the heat up at the inside bar.
(4)Kevin W.
This is a great neighborhood pub - especially if you like craft brew. If you are that Bud Light kinda guy/gal this place is not for you. If you love beer, casual atmosphere, great food pub food, and outdoor seating then this is a great spot! The only reason the parking suck is because this place is popular for good reason.
(5)Michelle H.
The food here was decent - I liked the spinach artichoke and crab dip, which was tasty and a good sized portion. I forget what I had, I think it was some salad which was ok and the sangria which again was fine. The thing that stands out for me was how AWFUL the service was. We waited about 30 minutes or so for a table, which was fine. Had some drinks, sat on some couches. No problem. After we were seated (we still had the drinks we were already working on) no one came for at least another 30 minutes, and I'm not exaggerating. When our waitress finally came she asked if we were going to want to order anything. Um, why did we ask to be seated at a table and not just keep sitting in our comfy couches by the bar??? She eventually took our orders, and they eventually brought our food. Then we didn't see her again for another hour until she brought the check. Just awful - and it wasn't even busy. For the price, I couldn't believe the awful service.
(2)Heather C.
I really really really like OHSO. I always feel a little odd reviewing a brewery since I don't drink beer, so I'll review the eatery part. But let me say if I did like beer, I would love that you can buy small tastings before you commit. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do that with anything? First off, the menu is perfect with a handful of appetizers, small plates, salads, burgers, and sandwiches all for $10-$15. The small plates are really not that small. The shrimp tacos were really good as was the accompanying slaw. The tortillas are street size, but you get a good half dozen or so. I really loved the grilled chicken flatbread with plenty of cheese, bacon, garlic poblano sauce, and a cilantro pesto. If you're not a fan of cilantro, it is almost undetectable. I also wish the poblano sauce were a little spicier. But what makes this flatbread is the chopped tomato and cucumber salad on top. It adds a nice sweetness and freshness to the pie. Without it, the dish would fall a little flat to me. And whatever you get, add french fries. Thin and crispy with a sprinkling of black pepper. Mmm. Mmm. It's never been busy on my visits, but I've only gone for weekend lunches. Hopefully they stick around for a while.
(4)Michele M.
Beer with brunch? Yes, Beer Brunch on the weekends at O.H.S.O.! I've been here a few times this past year. A few weeks ago, I decided to go and try their Beer Brunch, only $10 with a beer. Yes, beer before noon but hey it is a BEER Brunch. Nobody will judge you there! The beer biscuits and gravy was awesome! Huge pieces of sausage in the gravy. The biscuits were moist and buttery. The gravy had a kick to it for sure but went really well with the beer. I had ordered the Raspberry Wheat to go with the dish. Loved it! The dish came with two pieces of crispy bacon and a bowl of fruit. I ordered coffee as well. And the refills kept coming for the coffee. Service was good..friendly and always coming by asking you were ok and needed anything else. For only $10 it's a great place for a weekend brunch with friends or by yourself!
(5)Trinity S.
I travel a lot for work and always make it a point to find a local brewery or pub in all the cities I go to. I have to say this was one of the best! The brews were fantastic and the food was upscale with a pub feel. Note - the samples are a $1 each, but worth they spend. Try and White Mocha brew....very cool!
(5)Joe L.
Great place to grab a craft beer and a bite to eat. They always have a great selection of their own beers, supplemented with local and national craft brews. My current favorite is the Betty IPA by Hanger 24 brewery. My wife prefers the nitro milk stout from Left Hand brewery. On the food side of things, I'm a big fan of the brisket Mac and the burgers. My wife swears by the blackened salmon. We're here once a week to satisfy her need for it. The brunch on the weekends is also worth checking out. This is a popular local hangout. It is almost alwAys busy, but everyone is very friendly. Check out the dog friendly back patio. It has an outdoor bar and tV's. It can be loud, so come ready to enjoy the crowd.
(5)Sophie Z.
OHSO is the shit, I love this place. Great Moscow mules, killer vibes, and amazing veggie burger. Bring your dog, your friends, or your dog's friends to the back patio for an awesome time.
(5)Joe G.
For Xmas My wife and I were given a brewing session where we could assist a couple of their brewers in brewing a batch of beer. The two fellows that walked us through the process were Dave and Jeff. Super nice guys and very knowledgable. If you are in to beer, I highly recommend checking this out. It came with brunch and a couple of beer tastings. The breakfast burritos are awesome and as always a wide beer selection.
(5)Lauren L.
This place has improved tremendously since my initial terrible review (though I do still like to call it NO SOH). Great beer selection and really stellar fish and chips. Only downside is I have yet to try their back patio because it's too popular- an hour and a half wait?! Ha. Ha.
(4)Michelle C.
There's no other way to say it: I fucking love this place! Mimosa's a plenty, dog-friendly, patio-lovin', brunch menu to die for... Came here for the "Beer Brunch" ... (two of my favorite things) which is 10 items for $10 with a 10oz beer or Monster Mimosa! Brunch is served from 9a - 2p on Sat + Sun. I typically can't get away from the green chili pork carnitas (which definitely has SPICE) ... pork carnitas, scrambled egg, potatoes, beans, cotija cheese and whole wheat tortillas served with a side of fruit. Happy to see a non-douchy spot pop up in this area - gives me hope that Phx can be cool after all!

This place has a great patio PLUS a great selection of microbrews. I loved the setup of this place- great front and back patio-dog friendly too. The back patio setup is awesome. Great view of Camelback Mountain and the bicycle wall with the tires that are fans is super cool! We came on Father's Day and for their BBQ Sunday special and we were not disappointed. The special was great, huge portions. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. Can't wait to go back!

OHHHHH SOOOO Eatery! I'd be so hungry if I left you now Cause I don't know where to look for Brews I just don't know how! OHHHHH SOOOO Eatery! How I depend on you To give me Brews when I need it right on time for Happy Hour! (Lyrics - The Chi-Lites - Oh Girl) OH! SO good and worth your time. At first glance I didn't know what this place was. I made my stop across the street at JT's. Finally, I'm glad a made a stop here. Felt like walking into a neighborhood bar that was full of . . . well . . my neighbors! They have a pretty awesome back patio, but that's not to say that the front is lacking. Dogs are welcomed up front to hang with patrons. The place itself seemed pretty retro and had that summer camp feel. They have a huge selection of micro brews and what totally weirded me out was how the bartender remembers which brew was in which tap, since there were no signs or logos attached. Just plain taps! Kudos to the person that has to remember all of it! I ordered a burger with cheese and a side of fries. My friends ordered the antipasto platter which came with Elk meat -- cool! My burger was totally awesome with the bacon and cheese. The patty was nice and juicy while the cheese just oozed over it nicely. The bun was nice and soft and don't forget to order some nice and crispy fries on the side. Overall and the bread they used was definitely larger and doughy compared to what I was used to. The antipasto platter was great and came with honey mustard and some sort of salsa like sauce. The meats and pickled veggies was what made it delicious! Never had elk but wasn't bad at all. The pickled veggies were pungent and hit up my sinuses where it need to. Overall, good start and good experience - Enjoy!

My favorite patio in Phoenix!! O.H.S.O. is the only TRUE dog friendly patio I have found. Great service, fantastic food, wide range of beer selections, and lots of pooch lovin' people.. I just cant say enough!! My boyfriend and I will quickly become regulars at this local hot spot!!

This joint had been on my bookmarked list of "gotta try" for quite a few months. I'm not often in the area, but my buddy's wife planned his surprise b-day party here - so I happily agreed to kill two birds with one stone. Ambiance is nice, beer was delicious and cold, and the food was great. The service was solid, and upon finding out that I dabble in home-brewing, he mentioned the ability to come to O.H.S.O. and brew your own with the assistance of the brewmasters. I was pretty impressed, not many breweries take the time to do something like that - so we downloaded the handy dandy app and were able to see the upcoming dates that were available. They are currently booked through the end of November, but the concept is so cool that I will check periodically to book a brewing session. I just love it when you can tell a place has passion for what they do, and this place was no exception.

This is my favorite place to go! I wish there were more locations!!! But I make the drive because I love this place. Ps you can bring your dog, amazing!

O.M.G this place is good!! My husband and I stopped by for his birthday and the place was packed! (Granted, it was a Friday night and we did drop in at the tail end of happy hour.) Parking was a problem so use valet. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait so we wandered into the bar area to find a seat. We finagled two stools outside and enjoyed the spinach, crab, and artichoke dip. Yummy!!!! Our waiter recommended the orange vanilla beer and my husband had a Heffeweisen (spelling?). Both were good. Mine was very mellow and smooth. Good for people who don't really like beer. Like me. We ordered the smaller sizes and got two regular size pub glasses. (I think they were 18-24 ounces - not sure what the larger size would have looked like!) By the time we finished our app the hostess popped over to tell us our table was ready. (What 45 minute wait? Secretly I think she only said that to discourage the group of 6 punk college kids that walked in ahead of us.) As for the service, I don't know what everyone else is talking about but our waiter was great! As soon as we sat down he asked if we wanted waters - which I did - and brought them immediately. They use a thin cucumber instead of lemons which I thought was awesome...but I'd already drank half a beer with little to eat so everything is awesome at that point. :) My husband ordered the barbecue burger which his boss had recommended. I got the veggie burger after asking what the OHSO sauce was. It is Bloody Mary mayo. Yes, you read that right. Bloody. Mary. Mayo. I had to order it. I got fries on the side because I cannot resist potatoes in any form. The food came out after a decent interval and my husband and I didn't speak for 10 minutes because we were busy stuffing our pie holes. (Bloody Mary mayo tastes like manna from heaven by the way.) Between the beer and the appetizer I couldn't finish my food but I wasn't going to let all that flavor go to waste so I got to go box. (30 seconds in the micro and it is just as tasty for a snack.) The bill came to about $47 before tip which is to be expected after drinks and an appetizer. Not too bad considering the damage we've done at other celebration dinners. ;) I didn't give 5 stars because the parking could be better. But we will DEFINITELY be back! (There are like 20+ beers to try after all.) P.S. we were told that the patio is dog friendly and they have a weekly contest. If you take a picture of your dog with one of their glasses or a growler you are entered to win a $25 gift card. A winner is drawn every week.

This place is awesome!!.......good food and great drinks.You wont be disappointed. Parking is a little difficult at times.....get there early.
(4)Kimberly W.
Love this place! Has an urban feel inside. I had the garlic shrimp tacos and they were AMAZING!! Tried the sweet potato fries (basically my favorite food) and they were very good. No comment on the beer (since I don't drink it) but they had a good sized selection.
(5)Daniel K.
Burger is bloody good. $6 Happy Hour Pitchers too! Been half-jokingly trying to get my friends to eat here but they kept passing because of the overflowing parking lot and the name. BUT AT LAST I HAVE ARRIVED BBQ Burger - Perfectly medium rare with lots of juice. 2 fat slabs of bacon and veggies on a great bun. You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients here - Yes please. I wanted to get a glass of grapefruit Hefeweizen but found out during Happy Hour a pitcher is just $1 more. (Who could pass that up @_@) One of the best burgers in the Camelback area and definitely a notch above the ones at the Attic.
(5)Roger L.
A very chill environment and brewery with a wonderful biking theme....LOVE IT! OHSO has a wonderful and unique selection of local beers, half of which are their own brew and a selection from other locals and national brews too. We came during brunch and enjoyed a very delicious and spicy Bloody Mary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the beef jerky stick it came with. Also something to keep in mind if you don't eat beef or are vegetarian as the waitress didn't mention this. The seating is quite comfortable and the outdoor patio is dog friendly. For the food, we got the brunch special for &10 with came with a plate and a beer/mimosa. Both the vegetarian flatbread and French toast were quite good and large for the price. For the beers, we tried the white chocolate ale and the mr pineapple. Both local favorites and on a bit of the sweeter side if that's your thing. Will definitely have to come back next time we are back in Phoenix!
(5)Bodhi B.
Come here if you're from out of town... This is one of my favorite places to ride my bike to brunch (it's on the canal from the Water Front in Old Town incase you didn't know) Anyway, the beer section is fantastic try the local made OHSO beers. Two things I dislike: the appetizers and valet parking
(5)Michelle P.
Yum! And they support local a animal shelters... A draw to my hear always. Food and staff... Really amazing. Low key... Happy people and really good food. Tacos ... Amazing ... Cocktails.... Oh yes... Really great atmosphere with amazing people and super food. A Ten!
(4)Lauri A.
The Grovey was great. Too bad their disbelief in AC and their pretentious, annoying clientele make you only want to stay for one pint.
(2)Kristen J.
The food here was awesome, and the staff are amazing. It has a comfortable atmosphere, and it is definitely family friendly. Our waiter went out of his way to make chocolate milk as a little treat for our daughter. While we didn't use the dog-friendly patio, I thought that was a really cool addition.
(5)Jessica M.
Orange blossom and their house made Grovey (I think is what it was called) beer is what gave this place 4 stars in my book. Minus 1 star for not having a full menu on the weekends, they only offered brunch until 2pm. I'll be back just for the beer though! :)

I drive by this place all of the time and always see a boatload (picture a ferry in the Pacific Northwest) of vehicles. A perception that invokes positive vibes, and it's a NanoBrewery (whatever that means), so I figure I gotta go one of these days. Yesterday was the day, as I was alerted to the fact that it was National Beer Day (thanks to Cheryl B)...Are you kidding me! ...so, with less than 5 hours left in this gloriously ridiculous reason to drink copious amounts of beer, guilt free, and being that O.H.S.O. was close to my hood, the choice was easy! Luck would have it that the Valet Parking (free) had just wrapped up and I was directed around back (I don't like others driving my rig). I quickly parked and found the place inside fairly quiet, and the bar up front was mostly filled with what appeared to be regulars, which would be pretty cool, if I was a regular, but I felt invisable...Deduct 1 Star. I decided to wonder around and get myself into some trouble in order to be noticed, but I accidently stumbled onto the back patio, and THIS is where the cool people were hanging out, because it was still 100* outside, but totally chill (so much for finding trouble). On the way to the back yard I passed the small brewery where all the magic takes place, and I say small because THIS is where the Nano evidently comes from...sweet! I found a spot at the bar quickly enough, and the patrons at least looked at me, not that I was in need of attention, but at least I didn't feel invisable, but then it also seemed that all were not as drunk and were actually having conversation, which is always fun to listen in and pretend not too by scanning the smart phone....anyway ~ All the many varieties of brewskies were not available on tap in the back, but the lovely bar host was more then willing to venture the several dozen paces to bring what my palette yurned for...but how do I choose? I shot in dark and ordered an Orange Blossum, which was from the keg right in front of me, and selected the Pilgrim (I like turkey and cranberry, and the sprouts were a bonus). It was tasty and well complimented with a side of sweet potatoe fries. I throughly enjoyed the lovely, and attentive bar host (ya gotta ask for water, if ya want it, tho) who actually asked how I liked the beer, as if to say, "I'll get you something else, if you don't like it". It was okay...a bit too fruity. I find out later that samples can be had for $1 a 3oz. shot. As I was contemplating another, but pondering WTF do I order, again, Nick W. comes up behind me and tells me about a beer that he actually brews here and handed me a coozie for his Hops & Dreams...SCORE!!! Others he recommended where the Stella's Groove, Blood Sweat and Beers, and Day Dream. Since I was holding his coozie, I had to try this hoppie ale of his....smooth! This was a great time, and I recommend the patio, definently! It's dog friendly and lots of booths and places to stretch out, or belly up to the bar where it becomes more cozy, where you just might score a coozie! They are open late with a Kitchen that serves up a nice variety of burgers, sandwiches, and snacks until midnight.
(4)Dee C.
Not so much too loud food is fried menu not that great for people who enjoy a healthy diet like me I'm not impressed better places to go also the mandatory valet parking is a bit too much Try if you want I just think there is better places out there
(2)Chris M.
I only stopped by here for a couple drinks with friends, but was impressed with their beers on draught. They had a selection of beer from Arizona breweries that ibhandt tried anywhere else. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, which isn't always easy to find in Phoenix. Prices were reasonable as well. The only thing that was bothersome was that you have no option but to valet your car, you can't park on your own. Otherwise great experience, and I would go back.
(4)Dennis A.
I really like OHSO! I love the huge and locally focused beer selection, I love the bike theme, I love the the way they embrace the canal, (coolest fence EVER!!) I love the dog friendliness and I love the food! With all of this love, why 4, and not 5, stars? The service is kind of rough. I've been there 3 times and there is a frazzled attitude, bordering on hostile. Maybe I've just had bad luck but this is based on 3 visits. In the interest of fairness, I'll keep trying until they get it right though ;-)
(4)Lindsay T.
I wasn't crazy about this place the first time I went but after subsequent visits it has grown on me majorly. And for two reasons : the patio! And the amazing beer selection. I love that they give 3oz beer samples for $1. I tried several and they were all delicious. Add in the fact that the patio is VERY dog friendly- and frequently has good looking men at happy hour and you have one happy girl. My dog gets attention and I get buzzed and happy in the sun. Win win. The food is very very average, I suggest sticking with a few filling microbrews.
(4)Courtney B.
I took my Man out to brew and dine him, so we brew hoped and this was our first stop. We came here first because the food looked to be the best of all our planned stops. We ordered the brew plate and there was a lot to share. I liked everything, well except the cheese crackers, I don't like crackers that hurt my teeth and are not very flavorful. Some of the items were ok some were really good. The brie was legit, creamy creamy, the salami and prosciutto were great, the potato chip gouda was really good, the pita went well with everything, fruit roll up was awesome. Some of the things on the plate I was a little meh about was the strawberry cream cheese stuff, it tasted great, but like flavored cream cheese I could get from the grocery store, same with the nuts, they didn't do anything to make them special, the eggplant was too sweet. As far as the beer, 5 stars, the Hubby is an IPA fan so there were three he liked the angry bastard being his favorite and the dragoon being so-so, but not bad. I sampled the stout, oh it was great! Our waitress was very nice!
(4)Jen R.
I'd say 3.5 stars if I could. Really cool atmosphere. We chose OHSO as our happy hour destination due to it being dog friendly; they were. They have a "barking bar" where you can fill up a plastic container of water for your dog, and bags of dog biscuits. The servers even seemed used to doling out food with a dog laying between their feet. They did have a really good beer list. They were out of the White Chocolate Ale, which was what I'd been looking forward to, so I settled for an Arizona Peach instead. That was pretty depressing to me though, being out of a beer. - 1/2 star. The service was very hit-or-miss. The servers were a little standoffish until later, when ours seemed to have a change of heart and came over to say hi to my dog. It did take a little bit for things to come out. The bus boy never brought the box I requested either :/ -1/2 star again. We came to drink, but also had the spinach artichoke dip with crab; it was good, bit spicy on some bites with onion, but the crab was a nice topping choice. I wish there had been more pita bread, but I doubt it would have showed up had I asked for it. I know this isn't OHSO's fault either, but it was incredibly strange that there were so many kids there. It's happy hour... at a nanobrewery.... and I'm having to watch my pirate language because of the 8 year olds wearing Catholic school girl uniforms sitting one stool over. Awkward. Edit: I forgot to mention, the valet parking bit. There's maybe 15 spots that belong to OHSO. Otherwise, it's a mandatory valet parking job. This is just weird... I now feel obligated to tip someone to drive my car 10 feet away to a spot. The person who said "job creation" in a previous review was totally right. - 1/2 star for the atmosphere being... jarred and the valet parking weirdness.
(3)Bethanie L.
Great beer, good food! I have only ever had one item off their food menu... the burger. It is delicious and huge so I always return to it. Fries are perfect too. They have a great selection of beers. Happy hour is the best time to come-- $5 pitchers of several craft beers! Only thing that would be the icing on the cake is if they had some food specials for happy hour. Also, I have never had a problem with service here. Glad to have another great option in Arcadia!
(4)David R.
I am a big fan of O.H.S.O. Brewery & Eatery for many reasons. It has a very chill, hangout vibe to it; much more casual that a normal restaurant but nicer than a typical bar. They have a lot of different kind of seating which is nice so you can go with just two or large groups comfortably. They have a very large selection of rotating taps, including many other local Arizona brewery beers from Tempe, to Tucson to Sedona. They're happy hour apps. aren't amazing to be honest, but the price of pitcher beers is! I can't pick out a single favorite beer since they do have so many, so pick a few from the menu and have fun.
(4)Emmanuel L.
We were looking for a place to have an early dinner my kids and I on our way to the airport. Great place. Excellent service and creative food.
(5)Jeff M.
We live in the neighborhood so were excited to see a new place with a huge range of beers open up. The decorations are a bit sparse, but we like to sit on the patio or the conversation areas near the bar, which are perfect this time of year. Yucca chips are personal favorites, as is the gnocchi bolognese. Burger wasn't bad, but a burger is just a burger. They're still adjusting their menu it seems, which I expect any place to do for the first few weeks as they settle in. I really love their commitment to craft beer, especially Arizona beers. $5 pitchers of AZ beer before 5:00 is not only quite a tasty offering, but appeals to my love of all things local. Give OHSO a try!
(4)Jason G.
Great beer selection and excellent food!
(5)Doreen H.
I've been here twice and not impressed - seems highly overrated. The view is nice from the patio and it is right next to the canal - also the barking bar is cute. I would go back after biking along the canal for a quick beer but that's about it.
(2)Kenda V.
This location has been re-born as a really comfortable hang-out. NICE open patio for the bar, choice of couch seating and low top or high top tables. Way to support the local breweries with a very solid offering of brews from all over Arizona! Nice menu, not to full of itself but interesting enough to make us ask a few questions. The Yucca Chips are nothing more than a crunch delivery system for the guacamole which is tasty! Husband says YES to the fresh, flavorful, juicy burger - even the bun was good and it stood up to the toppings! Apple pie tasted homemade except BETTER because my crust sucks and their's did not! GOOD DATE NIGHT PLACE or place to meet up with friends and hang!
(4)michael w.
I dig this place. Shame they were out of Papago Orange Blossom when we came! Food is good and lovely selection of beer!!
(4)Alex L.
Not only do they have a great selection of beers from all over...they also have delicious food. My personal favorite was the Salmon BLT with sweet potato fries. Absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly! I've also had the garlic pesto hummus as an appetizer, very tasteful. Their AZ burger was great too with a spicy poblano aioli, but be aware if you don't like spicy food, this isn't the burger for you. Everything I've gotten here so far I've been impressed with. Great and friendly staff + good food + good beer: 5 stars for me!
(5)Sam D.
One of the best places to go for good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Never disappointed in the service or selection offered on the menu. Definitely give it a try. Although, their known for their brewery the red or white sangrias...delicious.
(5)Maribeth E.
I want to like it. I really do. They have an amazing back patio and carry Tito's vodka (which is super delicious if you haven't tried it). But every time I've gone, something has disappointed me. First off, service is nothing to write home about. The first time we were here, we grabbed a table in the bar and were told we'd have to check in with the hostess for that table. We checked in with her and were told it would be about 15-20 minutes. We headed to the bar to grab a drink while we waited. After we got our drinks, the hostess found us and said our table was ready. Guess what table it was. That was a big WTH. Our server had to be flagged down by us when we wanted to order another drink or food. He was ok with visiting all of his other tables around us though. The next 2 times I've been here, the service was better, but terribly slow. Next up is the beer. It is tasty. I don't drink beer, but my friends let me try the ones they ordered. I know that beer is best cold. I imagine how much more these tasty beers would be if they were weren't warm. It is a nanoBrewery for goodness sake. Keep your main product cold! Finally, the food. I'm just going to talk about one instance. Brunch. We ordered a breakfast flatbread that called for an over-medium egg to be on top. The egg was completely cooked. The yolk was solid which I find disgusting in a fried egg. The point of an over-medium egg being on top of a pizza is so the runny yolk gets all over it. And it's amazing when done right. If the yolk isn't going to be runny, then scramble the darn things so it can be easily spread across the pizza. The cost of the flatbread did include choice of beer or mimosa, so that helped the cause. Will I return here? I'm sure my friends will want to have drinks on the patio and I will go with them. Will I ever suggest to go here? No way.
(2)Dan W.
First I would like to mention that I really enjoyed the atmosphere of OHSO, the fairly new back patio that is open has a fantastic view of the south side of Camelback mountain. And you can't argue about the great selection of beers they have as well as the very reasonable prices that they offer particularly through happy hour. That being said their choice and preparation of their food is something else to consider. While I understand they are new to the area and many restaurants go through various transitions until they get the product just right, I feel OHSO is still very much in the beginning stages and will become better over time.
(3)S S.
Great staff great beer good food
(4)Andrea S.
Please find a better chef and this place will be a homerun! The ambiance overrides the food issues, but if they had a crappy location and no dog policy I would never come. The brunch deal is pretty crazy, but I noticed they changed the brunch menu recently and cheapened the food (maybe they realized it was too good of a deal). Dinner here leaves much to be desired...the ceasar salad with salmon was super blah. Sandwiches and burgers are the best bet to be satisfied. But...the atmosphere really can't be beat. Great spot for brunch with gal pals.
(4)Matthew M.
The beer just keeps getting better and better. One of their newest brews is a red ale called Bock at the Moon. I highly recommend getting a pitcher of it and not sharing with anybody...because it's delicious...make them get their own pitcher! And it's only $6 on happy hour, you really can't beat that deal. As for food, check out the flatbreads. The Pisa is amazing as well as the Grilled Chicken Flat Prost!
(5)Luke E.
Our food took 50 minutes from the time we ordered it. The server was terrible and said "oh we had 2 big parties in front of you, sorry" I also watched him be even ruder to a table next to us that had a baby and a kid with them. They told us that they had waited even longer. It was my friends birthday and I Didn't want to make a scene but it was just so bad. The place was dirty, sticky and just plain needs some TLC. Also some finishing school for the servers to attempt like they actually care that you are here, smile and show general awareness for your experience. There are a lot of great places in this hood with higher standards and more care for the customer experience. If you mess up, own up to it and make it right so your customers will come back. Sorry OHSO..it all ends here.
(1)Dan M.
The interior is reminiscent of the queue inside the Indiana Jones attraction at Disneyland. The food is edible. Gordon Ramsay would only be mildly disappointed. Three stars.
(3)Sarah K.
Really enjoy this place for so many reasons: -beer selection! -the ability to brew and tap your own on site -the burgers!!! -the huge amount of space -location -patio -dog & bike friendly My husband and I try to ride our bikes along the canal to get to this burgers and beer party place. Over time service gets better and better, when if first opened, it was kinda hit or miss. This is always my go to for visiting friends and last minute dinner excursions. Lots of love for OHSo
(5)Jean V.
Hands down best mimosas I've had. They have a good deal, $10 for breakfast and a drink. The beer selection is fantastic, local businesses woo hoo! The patio areas are nice and I like how they text you when your table is ready instead of worrying you didn't or won't hear your name be called.
(5)Aaron A.
Ok I felt that I had to update my review of OHSO. I've been here 2 more times since my first review. I didn't care for the fact that a brewery only had a few beers to choose from. But what got me to come back here for two more times even though I don't live close to here was their awesome patio and the way they always change their beer menu. They print the beer menu every day and on my last visit I finally had my two dogs with us so they could also enjoy the patio. They also love the free dog treats. Also, they had a lot more house made beers in the menu this time and a good late nite muchie menu for us. We had the pepperoni flag bread. Good enough to share and cheap for only $5. Anyways, I believe that this place is a strong 4 star and I'm sure I'll be back soon!
(4)Jasmin S.
We stopped in for a drink while driving by. It was a great atmosphere. Wish i lived near by so i can ride my bike in. Pet friendly. Good beer. Food looked good byt didn't try..i will be back.
(4)A L.
First time here to Ohso ! A great vibe on a busy Sunday. Waited at the bar for 20 minutes for a table in the backyard. The bartender Cale was excellent. He made my drink perfectly and I'm famous for sending them back. He is Very friendly and goes out of his way to make your experience the best there. I had their $15 bbq and it was delicious. Everyone at the table did not have to buy it like most places do for unlimited specials. I love the view of the mountains behind the patio. Food good drinks great and fun time !
(4)Matt E.
Sunday all you can eat BBQ (3:00-7:00)...good stuff. It's worth saving up breakfast and lunch for. The flights of beer samples are a great deal too.
(4)Ashley P.
All I can say is Wow! I hosted a party here last Saturday for 40 guests as a surprise party for my parents anniversary. I had worked with Nate and everything we talked about he delivered, from the size of our reserved space on the back patio to the food etc. Our server, Ashley, was as good as it gets, everyone always had a drink, we never had to go looking for her. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, casual place to have a private party as all our guests raved about the food, service etc!.
(5)George G.
I recently had lunch here and tried the veggie burger. It was the best I've ever eaten, moist, full of flavor! No ketchup required.
(5)Dan T.
great food and beer for 10 bucks cant beat that.
(5)Peter T.
WOW what a wonderful experience for the neighborhood feel and grrrreat food. Met up with a friend for the first time here and it was grrrrrrrrrreat. Justin helped us out and he was absolutely STELLAR! He gave us some wicked reccomendations and the good stuff just kept on coming. We had the OHSO and Beet salad coupled with the AMAZING cheese plate! The red dragon cheese is fantastic! Justin suggested the Nitro Milk Stout and it was super good as well. Kind of like a big kids chocolate milk shake! For the first time run I felt at home like I had been going there for years. I'm going to be questing to taste all of the beers that they have to offer along with the food. I noticed that on the menu that they lacked a lot of the fried items that you'd typically find for pub grub which is AWESOME. As I'm already tacking on all the beer energy healtier options to stuff my face are always welcomed. Definately will be returning again and again!
(5)Shelly R.
LOVE this place! Great location. Neat bike theme. Fantastic food and beverage. Awesome patio. Excellent view of the mountain. Big tables available for big groups. Outstanding friendly staff. Even a dog friendly patio! They encourage walking and biking to their place. Which we do! Only reason for 4 stars and not 5? They need more deals on wine. But I guess it's a brewery...so Yeah..I guess I get it. But Dang it! I love wine!
(4)Sb M.
The ambiance and design of OHSO is wonderfully relaxing. There is a diverse amount of microbrews on tap. The prices per beer aren't bad at all. The only thing I didn't like was the food. Ordered the ribs and they tasted like they could have been bought at costco and simply layered with a bbq sauce from target/overcooked as well. WIsh the menu had a diverse amount of fresh ingredients... then this place would really stand out.
(3)Mandy E.
I got brunch here on a Sunday, and it was amazing in so many different ways. I loved the environment, which was kind of like a more unique down to earth version of Postino's/Livingroom. The food was delicious. We had the breakfast flatbread and breakfast burrito. Of the two, the burrito was the best! It's quite possibly the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. An added bonus was how the brunch menu was paired with a beer or mimosa, which reminded me of our European travels like how in Paris our lunch was paired with wine or beer. The best part is that they're dog-friendly complete with a water station!
(5)Ana G.
I love this place! Great location, great food and great drinks.

Ate lunch here during the week. Great food for the price. Cool atmosphere. Makes me think twice about driving 3 more miles to Old Town. I'm not a beer drinker, but I welcome establishments like these to add to the Arcadia mix of wine bars.
(4)Steve L.
Best patio in town. Only visited once so far. Food above average and the menu has a good variety that goes beyond basic bar food. Service and the patio were A+. The place just has a cool vibe to it. Can't wait to go back.

Good patio, great beer list, food was average.

When we arrived, I was a little leary because of the valet setup. You know, that "another" VIG feeling. But all was well. Did not eat, just met some friends and had beers on the patio. Location is great and the patio was comfy to hang out at. Hipster level - OK. Beer selection is excellent. They have the $1 and $2 tastes that make it kinda cool to try beers. The service was slow on the night we went. Did not seem like a lot going on, but I we had to wait a few times when we were parched. Cool interior and good mix of people. Music selection was good and started to sway to a personal preference of hair metal close to midnight. I want this place to be Better and succeed! Stay tuned, I will update when we eat. Prices are fair.

What I liked the most about this place was the amazing patio!!! A dog friendly patio with hanging lights!! Beautiful and brilliant!! Plus, this place brews its own beer!! The food here is good, nothing too extravagant. However, the service is great, friendly and loaded with a very attentive staff!! :) A must visit for a good time with the amigo(a)s!! :)
(4)Diana M.
I stopped in here while on vacation for a pint with an old co-worker. It was a fantastic bar and their beer selection was really good. I can see this being a great neighborhood place to hangout. I didn't try their food, but what people had around us looked really good. I would definitely stop in the next time I'm in AZ!

How can I not have rated OHSO?! I have been here several times, but only on the back patio. Its where I find myself people watching and drinking beers. I have had some of their food and it's OK, I should try this place out for dinner sometime.. but so far my rating is all about brews, clientele, atmosphere and service. The positive. To tell you the truth, I like it - all of it. I feel relaxed here and I enjoy a place where you can sit down and just unwind over good conversation, because it isn't obnoxiously loud here. It is like a patio should be. The beer is tasty, and there is a feelgood vibe on this dog friendly patio. Funny story. I sat here with some veterans and enjoyed a Friday afternoon as the sun went down. When I was paying my bill I realized that the waitress had charged me for a drink to little. I told her about it, and she replied with "Sorry, consider it military discount" and a smile. Needless to say I tipped her well. The negative. The men's room has one toilet and one urinal. This means that there will be a line on occasion. Another thing, that other awesome yelpers have said before me, is that I don't like valet parking. I don't. In Summary - it's a pleasurable visit. I would take out-of-towners here for a light meal and drinks before going somewhere else. Not saying that this place dies down as the night progresses, I just don't have that knowledge. If you haven't tried it out, please do.

I live really far from this part of town so it's been a struggle to get here. We finally made it and I'm glad we did. The restaurant is hip and laid-back. We didn't sit in the patio but I noticed it was spacious and open to dogs - kind of like someone's back yard. My cider (from The Cider Mill) was DELICIOUS as were my fish tacos. We shared the pumpkin cheesecake and that was yummy too. This seems like to perfect spot to drink a lazy Saturday afternoon away. I look forward to coming back.
(5)John C.
Great bar! Tons of local beers and a big patio. We stop by most often when the weather is cool and bring the dogs along
(5)Lorenia W.
Definitely a great place to go to! Patio is perfect especially for the type of weather we've been having lately. I had the pulled pork, husband had the burger and cheese, 3 yr old had the chicken tenders. Also tried one of their low hop beers. We were all happy that we didn't even feel the desire to try one another's order lol the fries too! They were crunchy throughout and didn't get soggy or hard. My pulled pork had just the right amount of spicy and even though it was really juicy, the bread that it was on served on soaked it up to where the taste of the bread and juice made it even more of a 10! The burger was flavorful as opposed to places where the patty isn't seasoned enough. The sauce was just the right amount and gave it that extra kick while still keeping that hint of ketchup. Needless to say we finished everything on our plates and the portions were huge. Reasonable price and service was great! We'll be back for sure!
(5)Marléne B.
Popular indoor/outdoor casual dining: sports bar inside with dog friendly patio. Very attentive service and (as a nearby resident) one of my top neighborhood FAVS! Love the salads and there's also a variety of other yummy menu options!
(5)Paige G.
Brunch and Beer...need i say more. $10 gets you a meal at this brewery. Disappointed in the Bloody Mary (i substituted vodka for beer as the server suggested) & definitely the server chose the wrong beer for this drink. Otherwise fun place, good atmosphere and can bring your pup!
(3)Chris H.
Everything was great until the check came and my card didn't swipe at first and they talked all loud about how I have to show my ID even though I showed it when I ordered beer I said "I'm not worried about it, keep it" and they basically yelled they were bringing it back. I said it's not a big deal that they had to photo copy my ID and card and they still kept talking loud about it to the point people were watching. Then the guy who wasn't being loud came back and said it swiped and I left my 20% tip and left. If/when I go back I'll be bring fucking cash...who knows it might still be suspect as fake. Everything was fantastic till it came time to pay, and for the experience alone.......
(1)Melissa D.
Recently noticed they changed their menu and no longer have the sweet chili burger that is my favorite. They were still willing to make it for me except they don't carry the specific cheese anymore. I'm still a happy camper!
(4)christin f.
I adore this place! I've tried a few of their own beers but haven't found anything I've loved. They do however also carry other offerings from other breweries, and any place that regularly carries myrcenary dbl ipa is a okay in my book. The food has always been good and they have amazing patio space. This place is also incredibly dog friendly and even has a little "doggie bar" with organic treats, dog bowls, and a water station. Makes me sad that my dog is a freakin' psycho and doesn't play well with others. The back patio is backed up to the canal and has wonderful views of camelback.
(4)Jon S.
Friends wanted to go to dinner here.... it is off our places to stop by for breakfast list (see previous review) but we gave it a try. Sat out on the patio. Was nice once we found a spot that isn't in wind tunnel conditions. Got two pitchers of Orange blossom beer.... both were room temperature..in the summer in Arizona?. hmmm. The waitress wasn't all that distressed about it ... only offered to bring us a couple of chilled glasses as a remedy... really? We ended up putting ice in our glasses of beer. The pitcher of a different beer was ice cold. We split a burger and fries. It was hot and delicious. Kudos. Driving by this place is always crowded.... so they must be doing something right. Just... not when I'm there. It has always needed more consistency in service and food/drink quality... so I always feel like my money will for sure be going out... but what I may or may not get might be great or just so so. That's why it has remained on my once or twice a year stop by place... and not a regular haunt. It needs that polish that the Fox concept restaurants seem to have down to a science.
(3)Rebecca C.
The AZ burger is delicious! And I luv the dog friendly patio! You must love dogs to sit in the back patio to be able to put up with doggie shenanigans, like a dog walking under your table or occasionally barking. Its a great, great place to go. I highly recommend it!
(5)Mitch D.
Do yourself a favor... Order the pastrami sandwich. I was torn between the brisket and pastrami sandwiches and on the advice of our waiter I went pastrami... No joke, best pastrami sandwich I've ever eaten! Every time I come back I will order the pastrami!!!
(5)Brandy G.
Yum yum yum!! One of our fav places to hang out and eat. A must try if you haven't been here! Great weekend brunch too!
(5)Zara P.
Great patio with misters and fans, dog friendly and rightoin the canal. The beers were cold and delicious, we hung out all afternoon. They also served full pitchers of beer for $1 more than a pint so we went with those :)
(4)Marie K.
This is one of my favorite weekend places! Despite the wait, once you sit, it is always enjoyable. They usually have a nice crowd in the back patio, with a handful of furry happily wagging pups. If you're not into the dog-friendly environment, the front patio or inside seating is really nice as well. The wait staff is wonderfully attentive, and ive never had a bad experience the many times i have been here. There are great menu options and a good assortment of local beers..they have an orange blossom beer that i really like. My favorite things on the menu are the cobb salad, and the Salmon blt. Parking is a bit of a nuisance, but they have complementary valet that helps the issue. This location. Is extremely convenient, and its right off of the canal path. One of my favorite weekend events is to bike over with our pup. Its great exercise and you get to enjoy a beer at the end of it!
(5)Jenny L.
09.01.14 Final meal pre-departure of the bachelorette party. FABULOUS time at OHSO. We each did a beer brunch ($10 for an entree and a beer), and I selected the veggie flatbread and an amber ale. Super fun atmosphere, cute cycle decor, just great feelings all around. Prices are hard to beat! yelp.com/biz_photos/o-h-…

Driving to O.H.S.O. Eatery + nanoBrewery, the surrounding community does not appear pleasant at first sight when comparing to Old Town Scottsdale. Parking for the location is limited. I parked my car on a residential street directly across from the restaurant (warning: jaywalking six road lanes or walking around to the stoplight is included in the task of parking in the residential area). Outside the restaurant absolutely does not live up to the expectations once stepping inside. Walking through the door immediately changed the mood. I walked in wearing my white sundress with a smile on my face. O.H.S.O.'s bright environment is prefect for the Arizona sun. The restaurant is quite large (it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to save some space for parking). The back patio is gorgeous; it was no surprise to see 90% of happy customers in the back. And yes, it's a dog friendly place with dog treats too (noted if/when I have a dog). O.H.S.O. serves brunch, lunch, dinner as well as a few desserts with assorted drinks including wine, cocktails, whiskey, tequila, vodka, and of course, beer. For my first experience, I enjoyed brunch with my date. $10 for one brunch meal and 10oz beer or mimosa is a pretty sweet deal, in my opinion. I completely finished my Carnitas Bowl and mimosa; obviously, it was too delicious for me to leave leftovers. Also, I must add that one mimosa is plentiful poured in a wine glass, versus in a skinny, tall champagne glass. O.H.S.O. made my list of places worth coming back to for another good time.
(5)Athena M.
Food is always amazing, they don't skimp on their mimosa pours. Very friendly staff and is one of the only dog friendly bars in the valley. I come here at least once a month and have never been dissatisfied. They even sent us a $25 gift card for posting a picture of us and our dog on their Facebook page. Super cute bar idea and tons of good beer options.
(5)Rae Jo K.
What a fun little pub!! I love the hipster decor and the bar is nothing short of fantastic. Lots of rebar and old wood. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Phoenix (bring the hubby who is a former professional brewer). BEER: I had a couple of their brews and they were tasty and easy to drink. Not the best beer I ever had, but definitely worth checking out. FOOD: Very good for pub grub! They have a smaller menu, but there's enough to appeal to garbage guts and health-conscious individuals alike.
(4)Brit T.
In Phoenix visiting my brother, I looked up breweries in the area since I always try and drink local beer (I am from San Diego, best beer in the world) I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. I really didn't enjoy the beers that were brewed in the building. I had tried tasters of everything, I mean everything!! But, it seems their list is always changing. I absolutely did love the patio they had. So so cool. Very dog friendly. Great food. Excellent service. And loved the beers that were not brewed in the house brewery! (Mr. Pineapple, peach ale) Make sure you grab the free home-made dog treats on the way out! I will definitely come back and try some new beers!
(4)David S.
This place has good food, and a great selection of beers. They even had a Hefeweizen on tap that was brewed in-house! Do you have any idea how rare that is in this day of hipsters and IPA's?! Rare. The big thing to know about this place is that it is more than dog-friendly. It is actually dog-occupied. Like, if you go here, you will see some dogs. Obviously this is a good thing, and there were some pretty good dogs when I went. There was one dog that was a bulldog and he was really round and stout like somebody put legs on a giant meatloaf. There was also a skinny dog that was wide-eyed and crazy looking. I give each of those dogs a rating of 4-stars as well. If you have a fine dog, I suggest you bring it with you, and I think they even had complimentary dog treats.
(4)Patty O.
I heard rave reviews about this place from all over, so I decided to check it out. They win all the awards at the ASH events for having supposedly the best bar and restaurant in the valley. Well... no. No way. I went in with a friend and they had around 15ish taps I believe. We didn't even get our 10th choice of beer. They were out of everything. I believe I had a choice between a porter and an insanely sweet 1.X% alcohol beer. I've never had a good porter out of 100+ tastes of them so I went with the fruit beer. It sucked, as expected. Sweet as candy. The food was a step below mediocre. Soggy fries, soggy sandwich that was pouring grease. When I picked it up it tore in half. Like if you left bread in water for a few minutes. This place blows. ASH is ridiculous for giving them any awards. No beer and bad food. How does that make it the best beer bar? I've never heard so many customer complaints from other tables before. Did I mention it's a bar with no beer?
(1)Troy B.
Check Please Arizona brought us here and boy are we glad it did. The pretzel board is a fantastic appetizer, the gobbler turkey burger with pear salsa was a great combination, and last but not least is the Carmel Apple pie--do not miss it! Great service; loved this place. Will definitely recommend to others and come back. P.S. the Piehole Porter was great!
(5)Kim S.
Great beer and atmosphere! Love that you can bring dogs and they have the home made biscuits for them. Food is great and they have good veggie options, fries are delish! I hope they jump on the bandwagon and open one in downtown Gilbert! We could use something out here like it, plus I'd love to go more!
(5)Mia N.
Dog lovers, this is your place! The back patio is a doggie heaven, with hooks to tie up your pooch at each table, water bowls, free treats, and lots of doggie friends for your dog to bark at and annoyingly try to play with as you try to eat your meal in peace :P I really love the brunch here! They have quite a variety of brunch dishes, like biscuits and gravy, waffle + bacon, brat sausage breakfast, veggie omelette flatbread, and more! And all their brunch specials are only $10, which includes a beer/mimosa. That's a pretty fantastic deal. I ordered the waffle and bacon, which I thought was really delicious. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it hit the spot. This might become my new favorite brunch place.
(4)Lauren J.
Great brewery with great food! The handlebar hefe is delicious! I also like that you can bring your dog and play board games here- very fun and casual place to hang out with friends while drinking good beer and eating delicious food. What's better than that?!
(5)O'Zandra F.
OHSO is very conveniently located. It's always insanely busy. Few parking spaces, so be prepared to valet. This is one of a few places that allow dogs...of all kinds! Great staff...young and personable! Best brunch deal in town! $10 for brunch AND a mimosa! We started with ceviche, with was hearty and delicious! I had the carnias bowl and papa had the lox. Both dishes were very pleasing to our palates. Definitely a great place to meet friends and hangout. Super deals on drinks and food!
(5)Marie C.
3.5 stars As a child I hated hamburgers, but I think it was because the ones my Mom made were severely dry (I'm talking must chew for hours and wash down with large quantities of water) on wonder buns. I have been known to hide these suckers everywhere just to get out of eating them. I am pretty sure she still finds fossilized burgers in all parts of the house. I was then introduced to a real burger in Los Angeles. Everywhere you turn you can find an amazing burger. One you crave. Stout, Father's Office, Umami, the Counter etc etc etc Unfortunately after having these burgers a plain ole mediocre burger just doesn't live up. That was OHSO's burger. It was okay, but I don't have dirty dreams about it. While the burger was subpar the atmosphere made up for it. Casual and comfortable place to come enjoy some drinks, but probably pass on the food. Although next time I will try something different. Highly recommend sitting on the patio and enjoying a cold one with some friends. This is on the bike path which is always a bonus since I can ride my bike, have some drinks and then try to ride bike home. Unfortunately we didn't have any beer (which they have a great selection of microbrews) but they did have a Happy Hour going on. The server said all AZ pitchers of beer and glasses of wine were $6. Mon-Fri 11am-6pm The kids meal was just Kraft Mac and Cheese. This is a pet peeve of mine as I prefer if they are going to have Mac and cheese at least make it instead of have it from a box. My daughter of course ate it right up since she never gets that stuff at home. I know I am the worst mom ever. Who deprives their child of Kraft Mac and Cheese? *My Mom's not a bad cook, just her burgers are horrendous.
(3)Quynh N.
4 star for beer selection. 2 star for food selection. Average 3 star. Don't come here if you're hungry. Might as well eat at McDonald's (yuck), then come here for a beer or two. Or vice versa. Seriously. I can't stand the food here. It's the reason OHSO is no longer on my list of places to be. Oh that and parking is even worse than the food. The worst! The more I write, the less stars I should give them.
(3)Ashlie H.
Well this place is fun!!! If your a beer lover this place is a MUST! I am hoping my bff signs up to brew his beer here and he releases it for his bday! So much fun for a beer lover like him. If you are interested in brewing your own beer here, give them a call! Its pretty sweet!! The staff here is very lively, attentive and nice! Nothing like hanging out with friends and crackin jokes with your bartender, or wait staff. On top of all these things they also have great food. We came for their morning special, which is a beer or mimosa along with a few specific dishes for only $10. Can beat that!!! Try their breakfast flat bread, it is delicious! Its been super nice outsdie too, so I recommend going out back and sitting out on the patio! Plenty of shade, fans and misters to keep you cool! Cant wait to go back!!
(5)Andrea S.
This is such a hip place. Mainly because they're dog friendly and serve really delicious beer and food. There's isn't really much else needed, but they've also got a great patio, bar and dining room. Parking kind of sucks, but I guess no one is perfect. One star off because they had a couple of beers listed on the menu that they were waiting to tap, which was pretty irritating, since most of the people at our table wanted them. They make dog biscuits for you to take for free!
(4)John T.
I've been frequenting here more frequently than I care to admit for about three years. Their pitchers (smaller than many pitchers, at a little over two pints), their extensive beer list, and their killer patio view of Camelback Mountain make them the best spot I know of in the Valley to kick back and drink a good craft brew. The $10 beer/mimosa-and-brunch special on Saturdays and Sundays is unbeatable too. Only downsides: hard to get a seat sometimes, especially during the brunch rush. Food is hit-or-miss with so-so value; the Arizona Burger is definitely my go-to order. Their beer list changes constantly and, though I like probably two-thirds of what I order, sometimes I'll get tripped up on a funky-flavored brew (I'd steer clear of most of the ones with "chocolate" or "espresso" in the name, but maybe that's just me). But I'll gladly take that sort of variation in quality in exchange for such a wide selection, great beer prices, and all-around original concept. Keep up the good work, OHSO!
(4)Professor M.
I have been here 3 times so far. The food has been really tasty. This area has been waiting for a place like this as you can see from the crowded parking lot almost every night. They have a solid beer selection and the $1 tasters let you explore. Try the shrimp tacos! I'm looking forward to my next visit.
(4)Julie B.
I went to OHSO with a large group of friends and we were seated really quickly even though the place was packed. The ambiance is great. The only reason why I gave it 3 stars was because I've been twice and wasn't extremely impressed with the food. I'm a vegetarian and loved the fact that they have a veggie burger. The burger was good, not amazing. Another time I ordered some type of flat bread pizza which wasn't great. One of my friends had the pulled pork and he LOVED it.
(3)Suzzi S.
Wow! What excellent place. Definitely get a burger and go for the white chocolate ale. Loved it!! Plus they allow you to bring your dog to the back patio. Sweet.
(5)Elle x.
I have incredibly high hopes for this place! I was excited to try it for the first time last week and I was impressed considering it hasn't been open very long. My server was very patient with the number of questions I asked about the food and beer menus. She admitted she hadn't tried everything yet (which is better than people who give phony recommendations leaving you with something you don't like), but did make some great suggestions based on what she liked and offered to bring another server over whom she thought had tried some of the other menu items. The food was quickly served and was beyond delicious. I was actually pretty impressed since I was expecting it to be more "bar food" since that's what comes to mind when I hear "Brewery". But it was a high quality MEAL, not just appetizers. The owner was around and seemed to be involved in making sure the place was running smoothly. Besides being very satisfied with the meal, I really love the atmosphere. I can't wait for nicer weather to sit out on the patio. I like that every room is so different and is offering basically whatever you're looking for in atmosphere. After talking to the server about future plans for this place, I couldn't be more excited about how close this place is to my house. I expect that when these plans come into play (live bands, make your brew, etc.) start happening, I will be updating this to a 5 star rating.
(4)Kelly M.
This weekend was the first time we tried out OHSO and we cant wait to go back. The food is great, the beer list is extensive and it's great to be able to taste all the beers for just a buck each (3oz) before you commit to a pint. Our server (I wish i remembered her name) was great.... she was attentive, very knowledgeable about the beers and offered recommendations and of course very friendly! The patio is great also- I can't wait till it cools down. If you haven't tried OHSO yet you need to!!!!!!
(5)Eliza G.
Really cool spot. Great beer list, and love the options to get tasters. Flatbreads are delish. Entrees I have had have been 50/50, but eager to try more. Outdoor patio is fun, love that you can bring dogs... Plus they have homemade dog treats, how cool is that?! Last time we were there, valet was quite disorganized. All over great neighborhood spot
(4)Tucker W.
Quaint place, but service on Sundays is troublesome. Took a party of 8 over two hours to get served the meal. Food was ok - nothing to let the food network know about though.
(2)Brandy G.
Amazing food, great breakfast specials, delicious cocktails, adorable venue and the most fantastic service from Allissa. Dog friendly patio, comfortable seating very trendy. I love this place!
(5)Alan C.
Perfection. Excellent beer selection with lots of AZ beers. Great patio with a nice view of Camelback Mountain. Straightforward food with fresh, tasty ingredients. Brunch with a beer? My kind of people. Everytime I go, I like it even more.
(5)Kenton M.
Anyone who knows me or is a FB friend knows I love this place. So when I order the shrimp tacos and I find the shrimp is scarcely cooked and send it back please don't come back and tell me the chef says I am wrong. A petty battle of egos knows no place in a restaurant. Okay, I'm finished. See you soon.
(4)Mark N.
Great atmosphere and patio with bring your dog encouraged and get a treat from your server. I had a great deal with their happy hour pitchers for six bucks. The pizza and pulled pork were both good
(4)Christina P.
Still a fan because I love the beer selection, and the venue. But, I want to update because the gnocchi has gotten a little chef-boy-ardee-ish. Not inedible but not as impressive as it once was... so, I guess, I retract my love for the gnocchi but there's still a lot to love about this place!
(4)Daniel M.
Been coming here for awhile and feel like the costumer service is on the decline. Pulled up asking where to park that didn't require valet, was told "not here" so had to park across the street and cross Indian school with no crosswalk. Once we were in the patio we were told a 40 minute wait for a table for two. So we took a seat at the bar and immediately afterwards 3 tables opened up in which no one was seated at until after our food arrived (30 minutes later). Food was good but the management needs to work on how the business is being run. Doubt I will be back for a long time.
(2)Kristin E.
Pretty ok. I had been wanting to try this place and was in the area today. Had the pastrami sandwich and it was very yummy. Interesting ambiance. Definitely feels like a bar inside. Patio dining much better. Very casual. Good beer selection. Our server Megan didn't seem to like us very much... I like it when we have a friendly and fun server. Won't go out of my way to come back. Prefer San Tan and Four Peaks.
(3)Mike D.
OSHO is great. It's fun to hang out on the patio when there is good weather (bring your dog!) or even when the weather is very hot. That's because the whole patio is surrounded by fans and has one of the best misting systems I've seen. The food is pretty good and the beer selection is great. I always have a good time here. The only downside would be that it's quite out of the way but that's just an excuse to extend your stay when you make it out there.
(4)Sharon G.
Where else can you get a small pitcher of decadent white chocolate beer on tap for $6?! A large group of us took over the room by the back patio to celebrate the return of a friend. It was dark in there and beautiful outside so I spent some time at the front bar chatting it up with random people. I'm glad I did that because I wouldn't have enjoyed sitting inside in that dark room on a gorgeous fall day in Arizona. I purchased the pitcher of beer at the bar. Our waitress (tall, blonde hair) was obviously upset that I didn't order from her, but the bartender advised me to ignore her. (Good advice). I learned from friends that the waitress had neglected to tell our group about the pitcher special. One pint of beer is $5 and the pitcher with 2.5 -3 pints is $6. That's a great deal, but $5 for a pint during happy hour- not so much. So what did people in my group do? They ordered the $5 pint not knowing about the pitcher deal until I told them. That is NOT good service on the waitress's part, but I'm rating 4 stars instead of 2 because of that delicious beer and nice bar/patio atmosphere so close to home. *Side note* $6.50 for a small bowl of over cooked shoestring fries is about as ridiculous as a $5 pint during happy hour! Get real with your pricing O.H.S.O.!
(4)Kim Y.
We have tried the beers from O.H.S.O several times at different beer festivals across AZ so when we FINALLY made it to the eatery/brewery I was super excited to say the least. I LUV this place, beer is great, service has always been great and the food falls right in line....we have gone for both dinner and the Sunday brunch both equally perfect. If you have a chance I would recommend you put this one on your must try list.
(4)Heather G.
$10 for a mimosa and brunch. Breakfast sandwich: bacon cooked perfectly crispy, the blend of guacamole and applewood smoked bacon is a true pleasure. The perfect breakfast treat! The steak and eggs was a larger portion than expected and the chimichurri sauce was the perfect accompaniment. I'm surprised it was not more busy! They have a dog friendly back patio. Honestly, how amazing is that? The service was attentive and the options of beers is impressive. You must try as many as you can before you commit to one. It's a must try. If I lived in town if be here every Sunday.
(5)Melanie H.
delicious beers and good food. I've only been twice and very surprisingly, this place never seems to get very busy - at least inside. They let you bring your dog as long as you stay at the back bar. I moseyed outside the first time I was there and it was a very cute setup with doggie water dishes lined up along the wall.
(3)Ashley M.
Best Beer Brunch! Love the tasters. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable. You can brew your own beer too! Love my cousin for sharing this hidden gem.
(4)Phil S.
My family and I went for an early mother's day brunch to celebrate the mom's in our lives. We were given our pick of the tables and given great service with our large party. Everyone enjoyed their meal, besides that people who got the "Biscuits and Beer Gravy"... TOO MUCH PEPPER in the sausage. YUMMY biscuit, and all the meals came with a choice of a beer or mimosa. I chose the mimosa... PERFECT! My pregnant wife however was not able to enjoy one of the tasty mimosa's. Instead, she decided to get a soda. Much to our surprise, our bill came with 2 brunch combo's which included 2 drinks, and a charge for her soda... Long story short, the manager told us that they want to encourage drinking with brunch and that there are zero substitutes... They wouldn't budge for my pregnant wife or my 14 y.o. cousin. They said to "give it to someone else at the table". We asked to have the additional beverages comp'd (2 sodas $4.50...20 cents each @cost). We were told no again, and given our checks back. Poor logic, management, and customer service. I get it, it's a brewery what do you expect. I would expect some type of accommodation or option given the family based neighborhood they are located in, and trying to attract the "Brunch" crowd. Their wait staff was great and did everything they could to find alternatives to the drink situation... Regardless of cost, have some type of substitution, know your margins, and please your customers! My family of 14 will not be returning for brunch again, or for a late night beer.

Came to try out the $10 brunch special. There was a little bit of a wait which I found to be odd since there appeared to be plenty of seating available. We found a spot at the bar. My french toast was pretty good and I like that they give you the choice of beer or mimosa. I realize we came in at a somewhat busy time on a Sunday but I wished the bartender was more engaging/enthusiastic. The servers were nice though, they were running drink orders but still had to the time to explain to me the meaning of the name: "outrageous homebrewers social outpost" and the way the brew-your-own beer works. Talked to a nice couple who had just brewed their first batch and had come in to taste it/enjoy on draught. The concept is quite innovative/unique/cool...you come in, pay $50 to brew, pick your flavors, start your brew, they ferment it for you, feature it on draught, and then give you a $50 gift card to buy your beer or any others that are on draught. I didn't bring my dog with me but like/appreciate the dog-friendliness of the establishment and took one of their "to-go" treats home for him. He liked it. Wish I was staying longer in PHX otherwise I would've started brewing my own beer!

OHSO has a great beer selection with not only there own brews but other brews throughout Arizona they also have a full bar if craft beer isn't your thing. I didn't get to try any of there food but it all sounded pretty good and looked good from what i could see. I will be coming back next time I am in the area.

We fell in love with O.H.S.O. immediately and we've been coming to OHSO regularly for some time with our kids for their $10 beer brunch on the weekends. I love their breakfast burrito on the beer brunch menu. On the regular menu my favorite is the brisket burger with a pitcher of something local or regional. O.H.S.O. is a great example of a locally owned restaurant supporting local breweries (while working on their own) and other local community organizations.

Just like Papago Brew, but with better beer, better food and WAY BETTER service. Seriously, these guys know whats up. Great happy hour on the local AZ beers at $6 for a pitcher (just over 2 beers). They have an excellent selection and variety *gasp of beer on draft, but have the tendency to run out of beers rapidly. I would consider this to be a good thing because they will always be getting a new, fresh keg of something delicious. Food is excellent and there is a variety of meat and veg dishes from which to choose. Most importantly, you order and they bring it promptly. 5 stars because they have an awesome sour beer on draft...Petrus aged Pale. If you go to OHSO, do yourself a favor and give it a try.

Brunch? Yes, please!! More please!!! Bicycles, pups galore, and beer... Oh my! The patio space hugging the canal and looking up to Camelback Mountain is one of my favorite places to meet friends for brunch, with my most loyal friend, my dog! By far one of the most dog friendly patios in town, this Arcadian spot is both equal parts dog friendly bar and darn good bar. I order the orange ale, nearly every time, and have made my way through most of the brunch items - I haven't been disappointed yet! Edie snubs their cookies (she snubs pretty much anything other than meat or cheese snacks), and the servers always welcoming my being me a piece of prosciutto from the kitchen so she can still have OHSO treats. I may be a little more loyal to OHSO now, too, for they validated my obsession with how cute I think my dog is by awarding her one of their "Growler of the Week" recognitions! All in all, it's a smart, sweet spot, and it's fun to plan a Sunday Funday of tossing my pup on my bike and pedaling down the canal for scrumptious bites and brew! Biscuits and beer gravy are delicious and they constantly dare me to order them... and they are a worthy reason to pop out of one's denim.

First time there and it was awesome. Brought my dog and he was taken care by the wait staff right away with a bowl of water. The place had a great relaxed feeling and friendliness. The mountain views help make that feel too. The food was quick and very good. Portion size was great. The drinks were filled constantly. Only issue was the parking.

I have been here a few times and always had a positive experience. Love they give you treats for your dog. The food is really good and so are the drinks.

I'm a little bit of a hippie at heart so I probably am biased when I say that I love this place and it's likely my favorite spot in Arcadia. A microbrewery with delicious food, a HUGE outdoor patio that's dog-friendly, amicable and helpful staff, and oh, right, did I mention that their beer is amazing? What's not to like? Let's start off with food (because I'm a junkie). I've raved about the Tavern's sweet potato tots, but these guys' sweet potato fries are, impossibly, even better. How do you make better, better? I could eat a bucket of these and drink beer and I'd call it a night out. Chicken salad wrap is great, so is the green chili dip. Beware of the green chili pulled pork sandwich if you're worried about your bread going soggy (it will). Overall, the food is a smash. Brews: huge and fantastic selection. They regularly rotate out selections as things go in and out of season, so the lineup is always changing. Some steady favorites of mine: Dragoon IPA, Grand Canyon Amber, and the local Monje Azul (a light beer with a bit of a kick, if you're feeling light beer but want something with more substance than a Coors Light). Chainsaw and Hefe is good too. Basically, you can't go wrong. Environment: This is what I love about OHSO. I look at the vibe of this place as sort of like the Vig but much more laid back and friendly. The outdoor patio in the back is spread out and open - great for socializing. There are a few TVs so you can keep up with the scores, but not enough around to turn you into a social outcast just sitting there watching TV by yourself. All in all, the place gives off a very relaxed, vintage villa aura, with a smidge of contemporary to it. It's sweet. Complimentary valet, root beer candy at the hostess stand, great people, and the part that doesn't make you feel guilty about leaving your pooch at home: they make homemade dog biscuits from leftover grain from brewing, mixed with peanut butter and some other goodies, so your pup can have a good time too when you get home! Top-notch service. I'm hooked for life.

The place is really nice. Great patio, nice lay out, good service. The beer selection is also good but the food is barely OK. The fries with steak have no personality and the serving is bigger than I would like it (at least fries wise, not that much steak, though). I had the pulled pork sandwich and the meat was excessive, the flavor just OK and too much cheese. Great place to hang out but don't expect anything from the kitchen. Stay with beers and comfort food and you'll do great. Prices are fair. Cheers.

I had heard so many great things about this place and I'm glad I finally went! The atmosphere is kickback and fabulous. My girlfriend and I hung at the bar and our bartender ROCKED. I tend to be very picky when trying new beer and he was very patient in giving me samples and educating me on all the beers. We didn't eat so I cannot comment on the food, but I will be back and I'm doubting I will be disappointed! (: Looking forward to taking my beau along for the next visit!
(5)Tiara E.
Overall, it's okay. I definitely don't mind the patio. Especially since it is dog friendly. The service is pretty hit or miss depending on who you get. Sometimes you feel great and sometimes you feel like you intruded on your servers day. (Customers really shouldn't be that annoying to employees considering that is how you make money) My favorite is the BBQ Burger!

We visited OHSO today for the first time, and went specifically for their beer brunch. Yes, you read correctly - BEER BRUNCH. They have several delicious brunch items for $10 apiece, all of which include a 10 ounce AZ beer from their extensive beer menu. The biscuits and beer gravy were to die for, and the carnitas were pretty good too. We tried a ton of different beers since OHSO offers 3-ounce samples for $1 each, including 4 or 5 of their own nanobrews. The wine list also looked great, but we simply didn't have enough time in our visit today to transition over to that side of the menu. We'll have to go back soon! Oh - and one of my favorite things about OHSO is their huge, dog friendly patio and bike parking section. They even make dog treats from spent grains leftover from the beer making. We will be visiting soon with our furry friends in tow. Thanks, OHSO!

O.H.S.O. doesn't stand for anything in particular but who cares? This place has a nice feel, friendly service, and a terrific brunch. The food was uber-tasty, but what really wowed us was the $10 price for a brunch item plus a 10 ounce beer. Where else can you be fed like that? Good menu choices like breakfast burritos, green pork chile, and a fantastic french toast with toppings. Love the open garage door windows and the cool mist on the toasty Arizona patio.

OHSO rita pizza... 5/5. Creamy cheese, flavorful pesto, crispy crust. Bomb ass. Cold local brews... mediteraen salad was just OK. Service was mixed. Very dog friendly spot. Come check this place out if youre in the area.

Because I'm really just a (slightly) overgrown 10 year old girl when it comes to food, I am always craving a grilled cheese. I remembered reading an article on Chow Bella about places that rock at grilled cheese sandwiches and OHSO was on that list. So last week whilst seeking a grilled cheese and not wanting to surrender to Sonic or 5 & Diner at such a late hour, OHSO popped into mind. I, indeed, ordered the grilled cheese and truthfully it was good but nothing special (keep in mind I am vegetarian so I ordered it without the bacon that normally comes on it). However, the side salad I ordered was DIVINE. For a such a small salad I was not expecting such a variety of flavor but it was peppery, sweet, tangy... complex. Very, very good. I only had one drink (framboise) but their beer selection was quite good. I noticed they carry Sonoran Brewery's White Chocolate ale which is my all-time favorite. (Sidenote: mix the framboise & the white chocolate ale for ultimate decadence) The atmosphere is surprisingly cozy - like a little hip cabin with bicycle parts on the walls instead of taxidermy and country lyrics on plaques. I can't quite remember why I avoided trying OHSO for so long but boy have I been missing out all this time. I will definitely be back.

Great place as a Hipster's Hangout. A parades of awesome atmosphere!!!! Went during happy hour. Dog friendly patio- probably the coolest restaurant patio and largest i ever seen. Cool friendly staff! They even offer doggy bags up front. The food is excellent, unique and different. It's a hip place with a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. Big enough for large groups to sit comfortably, and intimate enough for a date as well... Complimentary valet service also. Loved it.
(5)Morgan T.
I absolutely love the atmosphere, but I am not a fan of the food for the price tag. They have a great happy hour appetizer menu that I wish was offered all day. Perfect date spot as they have an array of beers + cocktails. My boyfriend and I love to come here for their Sat/Sun brunch. They are happy to accommodate food allergies. Your date can be male, female, or furry :) Great place to bring your dog. Not too hot in the summer as they have misters.

I love OHSO for it's laid back atmosphere and amazing patio. It's close enough for me that we can bike there, and they have plenty of bike racks plus tools to help with small bike repairs, and even locks. Their patio is also very dog friendly, complete with water bowls and dog treats made from the spent grain from brewing some amazing beer. Their beer list always features their beers along with other local beers that are rotating on tap - I've always found something to enjoy to drink (even for brunch - how about a cold brew coffee beer?). I enjoy their food but I've been so much that I kind of wish they would update their menu with a few new items. My favorite stand-bys are the veggie burger and the fish tacos. You can also substitute any of their regular burgers with the veggie burger or the turkey burger, and they are both delicious. Their fries are good, their brunch is good, their BBQ is good, basically everything is good.
(4)Francis V.
Anything on the menu is quite phenomenal. I love trying different types of Mac and cheese, and the Mac del mar has quite the bite! I am a die hard jalapeño fan, so right away I was excited. Also, the white sangria is the most delightfully refreshing beverage I've ever had. Make sure to grab a pitcher, because one glass is just a tease! It's light and sweet.
(5)Bjern H.
Came here on a hot summer afternoon with my brother-in-law and liked how they served brunch on the weekend until 2pm. Also, the outdoor vibe and bartender were good despite it being triple digits. The misters and shading make it more bearable. I will say the TV on the outdoor balcony needs an upgrade because it was really blurry and hard to see during the day. Why put a soccer game on when it's nearly impossible to visualize. Also, the female bartender inside wasn't very friendly when I stopped by to fill up a growler, so cest la vie
