2. FLAGSTAFF BREWING COMPANY
Jeff Thorsett opened Flagstaff Brewing in July, 1994 with the mission to provide craft-brewed beer and a robust whiskey selection to a thirsty mountain town.
Sitting in the heart of downtown, Flagstaff Brewing throws down that classic brewpub style we’ve all grown to love. The outdoor seating located alongside in the pedestrian-only alley will be buzzing with activity on a hot day.

3. MOTHER ROAD BREWING COMPANY
Driving on a dark stretch of two lane road, the Marquess family headed into the final stretch of their journey home.Pondering how to better live their creed of ‘finding joy in the adventure,’ they came up with a plan to join their passions of craft beer, travel, Arizona and the enjoyment of life. Founded, was Mother Road Brewing Company.
The mission of Mother Road Brewing is to brew distinguished beers and build community one pint at a time. The vibe is chill as you sip away amongst the brewing equipment that you share the room with.
For food don’t miss out on the terrific wood-fired pizzas that can be ordered from one of my favorite restaurants, Pizzicletta next door.
They also have a great dog-friendly outdoor courtyard complete with fire pits and propane heaters. Bring the entire family as kids are welcome here.

“Founded in 2013 in Flagstaff, Arizona, Historic Brewing Company was built on the desire to do what we want, when we want to do it, and with the people we want to do it with. We are committed to creatively designing a lifestyle that works for us and brewing delicious craft beer for those who also choose to carve out their own path in life.

Don’t be fooled by the rather bland building that Historic sits in. Once you come inside you’ll be rewarded with a fun decor and hefty variety of beers as well as a unique and fresh menu.

7. HOTEL MONTE VISTA COCKTAIL LOUNGE
While this is not a brewery I couldn’t resist giving Monte Vista an honorable mention. Take a step back in time with Flagstaff’s first speakeasy.
Historically, The Monte Vista Cocktail Lounge was the first speakeasy in Flagstaff, welcoming everyone from celebrities and law-breakers to skiers and river runners. During prohibition, the Cocktail Lounge opened and was successfully running a major bootlegging operation in the very same location as today! Come 1931, the Cocktail Lounge was raided by officials and was forced to close their doors until prohibition ended two years later.
