Whole Foods Market - Scottsdale

Visited on a Sunday early afternoon. Normal while foods. The bar is toward the front right. They had a pretty nice draft list, pouring several La Cumbre beers, a Big Bad Baptist variant, a five year old Bourbon County Stout. Servers were both very nice. They offered samples of whatever I wanted to try, which was pretty cool. Pint prices were higher than I would typically expect. Overall a good time though.

Solid Whole Foods Selection. Not too many beers that seemed different from my SoCal selection. I did see a tap selection, but didn’t have time to stop by. Seems like a typical whole foods. I did notice some RB shelf tags which was nice. Not a bad stop to get a few local beers.

Gotta love this place! Not quite sure why the Chandler location gets so much better ratings than the Scottsdale one... perhaps it’s the Chandler beer culture that seems to be growing... Anyway they are basically equal in my mind, although I’ve only been to the Chandler location once. Over 30 beers on draft including some unusual stuff I don’t normally see in Phoenix. For North Scottsdale especially the selection is awesome! They seem to have regular events (just went to a Sonoran beer dinner on Saturday and a Ska tasting on Wednesday). Growler fills are now up and running and reasonably priced as well. Throw in $4 for all beers on Saturdays (Palate Wrecker and Mongo IPA on draft for that price, are you kidding me??) and you got yourself a great place! I just can’t give it more than a 3 for ambiance as it is in a Grocery Store, albeit a nice one.

Great rotating selection. Go for the beer you will appreciate the selection no matter what style you like.

this place is huge! like an open air market only pretentious and inside. cool taps from time to time but when i want to sit at a bar i’ll sit at a bar not a grocery store full of silicon house wives in stretchy pants

This whole foods rocks! A beer and wine bar! Tons of bottles. They even have a 90 and above Ratebeer bin of beers. Good stuff.
