Old Town’s own production brewery since 2015, and the one whose crowd stays stubbornly focused on the beer while the district around it gets louder. The street-level bar is fine; the real room is the Draft Mine, a subterranean taproom where the specialty and barrel-aged taps live.
Go down the stairs and ask what just came out of the barrels. A big stout in a cool basement is the correct answer to an Arizona summer.
When to go: weekday evenings and weekend afternoons, when the mine is claimable. March brings the spring training tide straight up this end of Scottsdale Road.
