Kettle Black Pub: Experience the Best Gastropub in Downtown Phoenix

Great place for happy hour. My husband and I walked in and there was a booth available on a Saturday night at around 5:30 PM. We had the Philly cheesesteak fries, the Bavarian pretzel, and the Ahi salad. Everything was good but thr salad was just OK and needed more dressing. The service was great and if we needed help any of the waiters were able to help us. The ambience was very fun and lively. Prices were very reasonable.

The drinks were great. The Mac and cheese with the honey siracha and crispy pork was insane and enough for more than 2 people. We got two orders of the mussels with chorizo as one was awesome but made us want more. Their beer cheese was phenomenal too. The Bavarian pretzels are nice but common but this sauce was a nice change. I'm not a big salad person but the salads my wife and daughter got were awesome too. Super friendly and helpful staff. If I find myself in the area again I will definitely make it back... can they do a repeat? I betting they can and will.

The bartender Ethan is great! Friendly and attentive, good conversation. Bar is chill and has a good vibe. Typical pub, with good drinks and good energy. Prices are reasonable.

Wonderful little pub downtown, great food and great service! I had the Guinness braided beef shirt ribs, and let me tell you they didn't disappoint!!

Great gastropub in downtown Phoenix. Bartender made his own version of an aperol Spritz it was tasty, but i think i like the original better. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I had the turkey club, and it was yummy.

This place gets 5 stars literally for how delicious the fries were!! We stopped in initially to grab drinks at the bar but ended up ordering some food because everyone's food who came out around us looked amazing! I don't regret our choice at all and wish we were more hungry to try some of the other things on the menu. Service was great. The bar is really cute and reminded me very much of the bars I visited while I was in Ireland. It is a little bit hot/muggy inside. It would be much more enjoyable if it was cooler indoors.
