Oro Brewing Company

Can't get vibier than a red-lit, dark, dank, dive bar style brewery, and this is the one. Quaint, very intimate, and you half expect to be walking all over peanut shells on the ground. They also had smokes, vapes, and other assorted mart-style snacks.

Yyyooo! These guys should be at 5 stars! Cool dudes running it on a Sunday. Quick to pour your drink and chill. Pretty solid spot. The beer is also very good. Our favs were Give Peat A Chance and Cafe Oro. Will def stop in the next time we are in Mesa.

Happy to visit the Mesa breweries along the light rail with this being our first stop. Great Saison that is year round (a hard find). Met the owner who was very friendly and helpful with our selection and beer tastes. Location is cozy right in the light rail with the smell of a brewery wafting through the air. I'll have to come back during Ren Fair or the next time I'm in Mesa. Thank you.

My wife and I stopped in and tried out 3 flights. We couldn’t make our mind up and had to keep trying the different beers! They were all so good! Several options from hoppy and bitter to mild and delicious. I would definitely pit this on my bucket list for stopping by and giving them a try!

This is a great smaller brewery in downtown Mesa, with a wide range of various beers. We tried several and each was superb. They don't serve food, but there are several local places recommended by Oro and they encourage you to bring the food in. Oro is the best brewery we've tried in the Phoenix area.

*Edit* I stopped by because I was in the area and remembered that I liked the King Gus and wanted to take a can to go. It was 6 dollars a can at the time of my original review (about a month ago) and now they are over 8 dollars a can. That's way too much. Since that's my favorite beer from this brewery, I have to dock it stars. Original review This place is pretty solid. I met the owner and talked for quite a bit. He is passionate and knows his stuff. The beer is solid. I really liked the "give peat a chance" the "king gus" (only sold in cans but is on the level of a church music or hop chowda), and the "trigo suave". The "hopiphany" and the "sabastians porter" were good, but not my favorites. The prices were also reasonable. Happy hour is 2 to 6. They have full size pretzels and bags of chips but food can be ordered from next door or you can bring some in. Come check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Great space in downtown Mesa which is much needed there. Brewery is small but comfortable and service was excellent, sadly all of their beers tasted very water down. I had a sample of every beer they had available at the time. Hopefully they can adjust and make improvements, I would hate to see a brewery in a really cool spot go away.

Awesome brewery in the heart of Downtown Mesa. Staff was super nice and the beer was unique and delicious. They also have a good menu to get some grub from the cafe next door. How convenient!

We've love this place for a couple years now. It was recently "reimagined" so they took out a large community table and replaced with a pool table and added a shelf of tacky convenience store items like Tums and condoms which isn't my favorite look for it but the beer and staff remain the same. And both are great! They also have a small selection of board games which is fun for a date or small group. They don't have a kitchen but have details for nearby restaurants to order from, many will even deliver there. If you don't want a meal, they do have a great selection of snacks available.

I came here knowing I don't enjoy beer but came with friends who wanted to stop for rats and a drink. I didn't end up having anything but the vibe was cool. Very alternative and dive bar-y. And older friend in our group struggled to understand the bartender but seemed to enjoy the surprise beer the server brought. We were all starving and while Oro doesnt have food, they do have a QR code for about 4-5 walkable options that they allow you to bring food from (or some will deliver to Oro). Nothing on that list appealed to us so we closed our tab and headed across the street for food. All in all, it was a fun dive bar showing the classic Young Frankenstein with low lighting and a pool table.

Honestly amazing. The place is so friendly. The beer was excellent - I had a couple IPAs and a farmhouse ale. I think I met the owner (Dave?) who was so gracious and friendly. I will be back.

I'm not a big beer person but I really enjoyed everything I tried at Oro Brewing. My favorite was Trigo Suave. Definitely recommend

Great brewery with a lot of selections, clever drink names, and awesome service. Dave was attentive and helpful- and gave great suggestions for types of beer to try. I love the set you of this bar, and that it provides games to play, such as Yahtzee! I would definitely go again!

March 2024 Vibe: chill Beer: no taboos Pilsner. Really enjoyed. Easy drink for third spot on my solo brewery tour through Mesa. Sat outside, it was gorgeous and the staff and patrons were welcoming

Stopped by for taste. I haven't been in AZ for a few years so it was fun to check out a few places. The Black IPA was great. Small space with a long bar. I do prefer drinking at the bar when checking out a place by myself. I was offered some tastes and feel that it would be worth returning for more.

I found this place on Waze. Absolutely great IPA's! The barbeque place outside is really a treat. I also tried their Sour, it's good too. Friendly people, good atmosphere, great selection. Highly recommend!

Yyyooo! These guys should be at 5 stars! Cool dudes running it on a Sunday. Quick to pour your drink and chill. Pretty solid spot. The beer is also very good. Our favs were Give Peat A Chance and Cafe Oro. Will def stop in the next time we are in Mesa.

Always a solid place to stop in when in downtown Mesa! Best beer in Mesa by far!! Trigo Suave wheat and the Sebastian Porter are absolute staples.

Excellent spot, good location. Right in the center of main st. Helpful service. Comfortable atmosphere. I'll be back!

Very cute brewery that wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon! I loved their pretzel and they also had food menus for nearby local restaurants. It was a great experience!

I've really enjoyed the beers I've tried here over my first 2 visits. The Cafe Oro is the perfect coffee blonde. The saison is impressive with just enough character to keep you coming back for another sip. The porters and IPAs are also good, but I've only had tastes so far. No food in house, but lots of options nearby so you can order and enjoy your food there with your beers.

Oro Brewing is our first stop on a multiple brewery day. I was going to say "run" but I jacked up my knee yesterday so it's more like a brewery hobble today. Regardless, this is my 146th unique brewery visit! OB has a good amount of seating both indoors and out, and yes Yelp, they are complying with all of the covid restrictions so quit asking me about it. Don't be such a nag... Unfortunately OB wasn't doing any flights, and since I am hitting multiple breweries I'm only reviewing a couple of beers. No flights is poor form though. I ordered up the Give Peat A Chance, a foreign extra stout with heavily peated malt. I love peat! Islay whiskys are my absolute favorite so how could I not go with this one. This was a little heavy for my first beer but was quite good. Earthy, rich, not super-peaty but then my peat palate is quite high so YMMV. It also had some coffee flavors there as well. SWPFTD went with the Red Fury, an Irish red ale. This was a nice malty red with just a touch of hoppiness. All in all OB was a good stop. I would have liked to try more beers but with multiple stops planned today I can only do so much. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you!

No food at this place but the sheer and the service was great! Went to have an after sandwich brew and wasn't disappointed. Would have liked a snack but they do have QR codes to all the local food joints that will deliver to their tap room.

We had the Sour Child series ( fruited sour mirage, La Rosa, Passion fruit, & guava) and the Oro Trigo Suave (American Tangerine Wheat Ale) both quite good. Mine the latter one received the World Beer Cup Silver Medalist and is quite impressive. The bartender was attentive and spot on for service. Only drawback is that they do not serve any food, but there are nearby places to order from and have it delivered to the place which is quite convenient and overall a great place to come and relax. Music is not overwhelming inside nor blasting you out so you can actually converse in conversation and hear yourself speak.

Best bar in Mesa hands down! Highly recommend! The owner, Dave is an awesome guy and super friendly and knowledgable

A really gross and unfriendly experience. The counter top was sticky, the glasses were not cleaned at all, and I saw a roach in the bathroom. The bartender, short with short black hair and beard, was really rude to us and felt like we were being pushed out after we ordered. We went out to the patio to stand and the bartender thought we were walking out and immediately stole our glasses back without questioning. Didnt ask us or give a refund, just grabbed the glasses and walked in.

Nestled alongside Main Street and Country Club, Oro is a hole in the wall watering hole that is whipping up some pretty darn tasty craft brews. Good thing for Yelp, otherwise I may never have found the place - and I'm sure glad that I did. I came in about 30 minutes to close on a Sunday night. Being fairly underpopulated at that time, I expected to receive glares from bartenders ready to head home. Instead, I was greeted warmly as I bellied up. Considered a nano-brewery, it's not a large place, though there's ample seating at/or around the bar, and on the patio. After assuring the bartenders that we'd make our visit quick, I asked for a recommendation. They countered by asking what I like to drink. The result was a tall glass of their very own Saison, which has a lighter flavor and qualities of a Belgian beer. I thought it was quite good and realized later that it packed a punch. My friend ordered an IPA, which was remarkably good. We joked that if we were forced to trade beers, there would be no winner or loser. I definitely want to come back and try a few more selections. After reading the other reviews, it sounds like there is a decent happy hour and food in proximity. I like what I hear, so plan to hear more from me about this place in the future!

Cool brewery on Main Street in downtown Mesa.. we stopped in for a drink on a Saturday., I will say I don't typically drink beer but when the only thing on the menu is beer .. you pick a beer and enjoy it I asked the bartender for a light beer and he suggested two from the menu.. after samples I decided on the Kolsch "I wish I was a cool kid" at $6.25.. it was light slightly fruity and refreshing The place was busy on a Saturday afternoon with a rowdy group enjoying themselves.. two tv's behind the bar were showing different sports teams .. small patio seating area out front If you're hungry, this place is in cahoots with Worth (yes!) menus at every table (look for the small clipboards) place your order with a server and Worth will deliver fresh food and chips to your table .. nothing wrong with that !! Worth is next door!

Beer Fact: North Dakota drinks more beer than anyone. Step up your game, Arizonians. Cheers! I popped in because I was next door enjoying me a sandwich. Having heard such great things about Oro Brews, I had to stop in. Their Elevate Nepal, a coffee blonde, was excellent. Good flavor, still quite hoppy, and very smooth. I also like their Royal Windsor, a spiced winter ale. They have a quaint bar here with comfy stools, some tables here and there, and they have outdoor patio seating. They don't serve food here but they're affiliated with Worth Takeaway next door that you can order from. Oro Brewing is a great place for some delicious brews. I would like to try some more booze!

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer. At least, according to Arnold Schwarzenegger anyways! Well thank goodness we found Oro Brewing Company on a Friday night, because it was payday, and hubby and I felt like adulting. Oro is a cool little brewery on Main Street in downtown Mesa that has a partnership with Worth Takeaway a few doors down. Come hungry and you can order a meal from Worth while sipping on a delicious craft beer, and have it delivered to your table within the brewery. There were two gentlemen behind the bar, and as soon as we took our seats, one of them brought over a couple of cold glasses and a chilled milk jug filled with water. As he poured us each a glass, he mentioned that there are about 12 craft beers to choose from, and the menu was an easy read on the wall directly behind the bar. Hubby chose the Hop'iphany and I chose to enjoy mine Inside the Park. We both agreed that these beverages were not for babies- one sip and you would agree! Overall, the beers were really tasty and were served super cold. The service was great, and the music was on point - not too loud & great selection. It was clean and inviting and we we can't wait to visit again with a couple friends!

Matt was the best!!!!! I had the greatest time solely because of this amazing man. Promotion or I never come back.

This is an amazing local gem!!!!! Great beer, awesome vibe, and a very friendly staff. Located in the heart of downtown Mesa with plenty of other restaurants in walking distance. Also a great place to come before any of the festivals or art shows that they hold in downtown Mesa

Unlike so many other new places around downtown Mesa, you feel at home here. The noise is low. The customers are calm and the Beer is fantastic. I'll be honest, I prefer a dark beer but even the lighter colored beers have some amazing flavors. There are usually 12 beers from their wonderful brewers efforts. They are all perfect in there own way and there is always something special for everyone's taste. They even carry a unique selection of canned beer from other breweries. If your hungry, you can get all the great food from Worth's Takeaway delivered right to your table. Get the Crispy Chicken or the Cuban. You will love them. Enjoy a nice relaxed time at ORO!

I really loved this nano brewery in downtown Mesa. They have a little outside patio, a long bar and a few tables inside. They have about six of their own beers on tap and about six guest taps. Most of the guest handles are from other Arizona breweries which is a nice touch. The best beer that I tried was Oro's All or Nothing double black IPA. It was the perfect combination of roasted malt and hoppy bitterness. I also ordered a crispy chicken sandwich from Worth Takeaway right from the bar at Oro. The sandwich was delivered quickly and was delicious. I'm looking forward to coming back to this little gem of a brewery soon!

Oro is my favorite go to brewery. They've got great options as well as award winning beers! Love the staff and the environment. Check it out if you're in downtown mesa. Two favorite beers are Trigo Suave and Boot the Brits

Great casual place to hang out, grab a freshly brewed beer (pints and flights), and get work done or chill, either inside or on the misted patio. Beers are quality. I particularly like the saison, but their English strong ale is on my list, as are the IPAs. Good regulars and specials. Bartenders make you feel at home. Bring in some food from Worth or the other great places in the area. Park in front or in the public lots nearby. Small, hidden gem. Enjoy.

We haven't spent much time is Mesa as it is well out of our beaten path. We hit up several breweries in Mesa and this was our second stop. This is a tiny brewery. Very cozy. We drank outside. Not sure what they were brewing inside but it had the strongest bad hoppy smell. Didn't bug me but my wife did not care for the smell at all. The beer was great. I appreciate any small craft brewer and Oro makes a solid IPA Thanks!

So I absolutely love this place... So why the 4 stars? Wells its missing a vibe. Let me start from the beginning. I almost walked right buy this place. They are doing some renovations on the building and completely walked by it tge first time. After finally finding the door walked into a room with a bar, and a few hightops. It was nice size, but I can see it getting uncomfortable really quick on busy nights. I'm not much of a brewery guy myself however these are "the thing" to do. So I tried a few of their beers and I stuck with the hefeweizen which i love but have recently started trying others. Its a chill place that has some amazing food delivered from next door, which is a bomb sandwhich shop. Overall its a cool place to hang out for a hour or so, but after that I get bored. I know breweries are not "sports bars", but give me some games, good music, something.... Like ive said I love it but its missing a vibe!

The stout named "Give Peat A Chance" is in the top three of all stouts I have ever tasted!! No food, but the craft beer experience is totally worth it.

One of the best brewery's in DT Mesa, great atmosphere, kind service, and solid community. You can't go wrong with any of their beers, flights are available if you ask, and they have menus of local restaurants so you can eat local and have a local beer. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves a chill atmosphere and good beer!

Service was much better than last time I was in. Wish worth still delivered. Will stop in for a pint again in the future.

Great beer. Great service! I had dinner at Taco Chiwa. They didn't have any Hazy IPA's. The bartender suggested walking across the street to Oro for a Boot the Brits pint. So happy we did. Excellent service. Excellent beer. All-around excellent time.

Came here with a partner, and was excited to see another brewery had opened up. The beer was okay. Will have to try more. The bartender though, maybe he was having a bad day. He got us what we needed but was in a super dont-care sort of vibe. Wasn't very comfortable so we just had our beer and left. And he was super rushy to where he broke some glasses after he picked them up when we dropped them off Will try it again though! Seems to have good reviews

Staff is friendly, good beer, all kinds of food options they encourage you to bring back. Favorite new find!

First time here and it was worth the trip. They have a very nice selection of beers. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Tvs for the sports that are on and good prices. I'll be sure to stop by on my next trip into Phx. My favorite so far is the INSIDE THE PARK

Stopped in here to have a beer and watch a football game. Cool place, friendly service. Love that they bring everyone their own pitcher of water. I enjoyed my beer while sitting at the bar. They had what looked like a chill patio as well. The patio isnt very big but good for people watching.

Loved this place! My wife and I had a couple of flights and every beer was great! I liked how they didn't just brew only IPAs which are great don't get me wrong but they had a great variety. All of the staff was friendly and the brewery has a really good relaxed vibe. It is a great place to just slow down and talk. If you are in the area this is a great bar to go to!

Awesome brewery in the heart of downtown Mesa. Super cool that all of the beer is brewed right in the back! I love that you're able to bring in local food places to munch on while you have a couple beers. This is a fun spot and everyone should check it out!

Stopped in Friday...as I entered I declared: I'm finally checking out where three breweries have said I HAD to try! Did not disappoint! Beertender Zach/k was chatty & friendly. The beers I tried: Saison d'Oro, Sabastian's Porter, Give Peat A Chance, & Qapla, & all were delicious. I liked the tap room. Looking forward to stopping in again. Thanks for a great first visit Oro!!

Oro Brewing is one of my favorite local places to grab a beer. The staff are very friendly and know about the area and the beer is great. They rotate most of their selection but they seem to always have a tasty sour and the Cafe Oro is my favorite coffee beer. I'm told their IPA's are good and that's not my thing, but sometimes they have an excellent Red (please ask about it so they bring it back). I love their beers and you can order food from nearby restaurants and eat in the brewery with your beer. My favorite chill place to grab a beer on Main St.

Great place to go with friends. Made everyone feel welcomed and even gave free sample before deciding on the best beer. It was so wonderful and enjoyable being there, you can't go wrong if you are looking for a micro brewery. Bring your friends and enjoy the beer's friend's and ambiance. Parking out front as well as in the side street. What more can I say !

Probably the best brewery in DT Mesa in terms of just beer quality. Small space but a surprisingly large patio. Definitely a recommended spot

Wonderful place to have crafted brews. The staff are always helpful and the beer is ALWAYS FANTASTIC! There's always a large selection of brews to pick from and the happy hour prices increase your enjoyment. And added bonus is that you can order food from Worth Takeaway that is delivered, be sure to order a package of home made chips to accompany one of their delicious sandwiches.

I enjoyed my second visit to this new craft brewery tasting room. They have a great symbiotic relationship with the sandwich store next door (Worth Takeaway) so you can have an awesome sandwich with an excellent beer or three. They have a nice bar with about 14 bar chairs, plus 6 table inside and a fenced patio area. They had 5 of their own brews plus 9 guest taps. The beers span the spectrum of styles so you are sure to find one to your liking. There was a good crowd but the acoustics kept noise levels reasonable. An encouraging addition to the west end of Mesa's downtown.

Nice start up brewery, decent selection, smooth offerings, looking forward to their continued brewings. Alley enjoyed the scene, relaxed atmosphere and cool vibe from the other patrons. They had a wide range of customers, all her adored her in just the way she wanted. She sat on the patio and took the night off. As holder of the leash and her photographer, i thought the other patrons are #1 reason we will be returning.

5 stars for the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff! 4 stars because of 12 taps, only 7 are theirs. They had a variety of beers but I ended up ordering a beer from Scottsdale Beer Company before I looked closely at the menu to see which were by Oro. My friend did order the Hopiphany IPA which she really liked. They don't have food but you can order from the sandwich place next door who will deliver to you in the brewery. Overall, I would come back to try some of their own brews!!

Stopped by here after work recently with some friends for the first time. The location is in downtown Mesa just off the light rail, so convenient if you live near a light rail stop, although we drove ourselves. The bar has a pretty cool setup although it is a bit small inside. I found they had a good variety of craft beers to choose from and they were all delicious. Nothing left me with a bad taste or experience. They don't have food here so if you are looking to eat you have to order from a nearby place. They seem to have a good relationship with Worth Takeaway, a freaking-fantastic sandwich place just nextdoor; which will deliver over to Oro. See my review of them - they're totally worth it and delicious! We all agreed we would definitely come back here again.
