The Perch Pub & Brewery

If you like birds and a good time, go here for lunch!
Good food. Unique atmosphere with the birds in big cages — feels like you are in the jungle if you sit outside!
The wings are smoked and are ridiculously good!
My wife and I came here one time and shared a cheese and meat tray appetizer — it comes out looking fancy and we nibbled for an hour while we talked about life!
Try this place.

Ordered BLT brunch, came out cold, soggy fries. 2 strip of bacon? Why do the call it a BLT? Really did suck, last time I try eating here. I will say owner took the food off our tab, so that was good and the right thing to do

I’m so torn when it comes to this place. I went for the first time because they had my favorite beer from Flagstaff on tap and I’ve heard good things. The atmosphere is so cool here; Perch has misters and fans outside and loads of trees to provide shade. The unique thing about their outdoor seating is that they have birds as well, which was really neat. This would have been wonderful if the service was better. Or if I got service at all. After being taken to a table, at least three waitresses walked by and didn’t acknowledge us whatsoever. After about ten minutes, my friend just went inside to the bar to get our beers. We talked and enjoyed our beer and nearly an hour later, not a single waitress stopped to even say hi, much less ask if we wanted to order food or have another beer. Not a single acknowledgement from the waitresses. This review would totally be five stars but the service just wasn’t there — literally.

Love this place! Love the food, drinks and atmosphere. Only complaint would be how busy it gets/​how long the wait can be on the weekend, but such is life when a place is this good!

LOVE LoVE LOVE The Perch! Very laid back atmosphere. The patio has all kinds of exotic birds, shade trees and misters going to keep the patio feeling 20 degrees cooler than it was in the sweltering heat last Sunday! Our waiter was very nice and helpful. He recommended the Perch house made sour beer and it was so delicious that I left with a growler of it. This was definitely worth the drive from South Phoenix. Cant wait to come back!

Oh man, I can’t believe I just barely made it to The Perch for the first time! My old man and I came in to celebrate my birthday with a little dinner and bird watching. All of my expectations were exceeded. This is sincerely one of the coolest restaurants I’ve ever been to.
It’s kinda hard to locate, but thankfully there are sandwich board signs in the parking area directing you where to go. When all else fails, just follow the bird noises.
Walking in, it feels like you’ve entered a secret brewery in, the rainforest. There’s indoor & outdoor seating, which we opted for outdoor; because, I wanted to get the whole experience. Both my better half, and I, were shocked at how cool we were at our table, considering the truck thermometer read 104° when we pulled into the lot. There are misters all around the outdoor area, none of which are directly above the tables, because that would be gross. The many trees act as natural ceiling in the courtyard, and of course, birds everywhere.
One bird was the star of the show. Her (I assume it’s a girl) name was Luna, which we joked was probably short for «Lunatic» since she was a spaz. I personally found her outbursts hilarious, but I could see how someone trying to have a serious conversation could grow annoyed by her squawking. If you’re reading this and you want to come here to whisper sweet-​nothings to your partner, request to be sat away from Lunatic.
The food we had was great. I got the chicken fingers and the cheese/​bacon tots. Normally I’d try something a little less basic, but I’m 7 months pregnant, which has given me the pallet of a 6 year old. I enjoyed my meal, while my dude was also happy with his perfectly cooked burger, and his can of Bud Light. We almost went with a dessert, but I knew if we ate anymore we’d go from satisfied and full, to miserably full real quick. Maybe next time.
To sum things up, I ¹²⁄₁₀ recommend you make a trip to The Perch. We smiled from the moment we walked in, until the moment we left; and, vowed to return soon as well as with our son when he makes his way into the world.

I WANT to like this place. Each time I’ve gone though, the food has been mediocre at best and the service less than that. Service is very slow, they rarely come back to check on you (drink refills, etc) and it takes forever to get your check. Calling it quits– too many other restaurants in Chandler to try out. It’s too bad because this place could be GREAT, but I can’t even say it’s good.

Amazing breakfast today. My family and I thought The Perch simply offered lunch and dinner. We were driving by, got hungry and stopped in. We were met by Travis who is one of the best and friendly servers we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. All three meals were fantastic. One more thing; the price for the food was just great.
Heading back soon to enjoy another Saturday breakfast, the weather and listen to all the birds.

I wanted to like it. The beer is good and the ambience is nice with the green courtyard. The food though, average at best.
We had the pig wings. These were half cremated in their char grill. The fat in the pork of course made them edible but that could have been a lot better. The arepas… please. Think less of an Andean flavor sensation and instead think of yesterday’s McDonalds breakfast sandwich muffin with some flavorless pork in between. More like a chewy slider.
The lobster wontons may have had some lobster hidden in the cheese sauce somewhere. Perhaps a trace. Without advanced analytical techniques we will never know.
Nice staff. Nice setting and to be fair we were late getting there and only on the appetizers.

This place was sooooooo good! Really neat that there are birds you can walk around and see and service was good. I had the baked tamale and it was so amazing! My boyfriend and sister had a burger with the beer cheese and they both loved it. This is my new favorite place to get food and beer! My only complaint is there isn’t much seeing that’s indoors and accessible to elderly at least that I know of. We sat inside but it was all open to the outdoors still which is really cold at night in the winter even with heat lamps. Still will go again though, may just have to do it during the day if I want family to go that can’t wait in hightop chairs.

Atmosphere and ambience are «top shelf», just like the rooftop bar, especially when it’s not super hot. They have recently added a separate seating area with a huge protector TV for a group party. This is a unique place.
I did find that the food menu was a little limited and had mostly fried food. But, it is a bar /​microbrewery after all, first and foremost.

You’ve gotta really really really love birds to enjoy this place, and in general I feel not great about them. I know, dumb of me to come anyways, but I promise that’s not the only reason I think The Perch deserves 3 stars. However, it is important to note that it can get pretty loud on the patio (like, hard-​to-​hold-​a-​conversation loud) if the birds all get riled up. That being said, the patio is the best place to sit when it’s not too hot out.
We came here for brunch and were a little bummed that we couldn’t get tots until 11. But we stuck around for a bit, so we were able to get the garlic, herb, and goat cheese tots later on. Pretty tasty, but it threw us for a bit of a loop that the goat cheese was liquid. I chose the chicken and toffles for my meal, which was okay. The fried chicken was just a few chicken strips, which weren’t terrible or anything, just not at all what I was expecting and nothing to rave about. The beer sausage gravy didn’t taste very beer-​y, just kind of like a general gravy. I did enjoy the over easy egg on top, but that’s pretty hard to screw up. The toffle itself was a cool concept but I think better in theory than execution. Overall, a bit underwhelming.
The service was okay. Food came out pretty quickly despite the place being fairly full, and our waitress was perfectly nice, but couldn’t answer a few of our questions. This normally wouldn’t be a huge issue, but she struggled with a lot of the beer questions, which I was taken aback by considering it’s a brewery.
I do like that this place has a separate gift shop with some pretty cool things. and particularly enjoyed that you can get a lot of merch with Luna on it.

Love the bizarre array of buildings, lush garden, and bevy of rescue exotic birds cawing loudly at you as you meander through the beer menu. Perch is tucked away behind the main downtown area and it has such epic promise. Our service was slow and spastic, but nice. The Bird Food, caramel popcorn, fried jalapeños, and bacon lardon was… weird and sticky. But, with the option to order lots of tiny beers to try a ton, some interesting menu items, and an awesome locale, I will so be back many a time.

Awesome spot to come eat. You can sit outside with the birds or stay cool inside. They also have a mini rooftop to eat on which is pretty neat. They make their own beer and is pretty dam good all styles. Highly recommend it here

This is one of my favorite breakfast/​brunch places. It’s seriously a little oasis in this hot desert of ours… The restaurant doubles as a bird sanctuary so while your dining outside, you’re surrounded by lush trees and the chirps of birds. The atmosphere reminds me of vacationing in Honduras and Belize, which is why I continue to come back. The food is to die for. I usually hate going out to breakfast because every breakfast place has the same tasting food, but the perch is different. The presentation is great, food is amazing, and there is a wide variety for you to choose from.
Only drawback… The service is horrible. I always try to order my food and drinks at the same time to avoid having to wait 10 years to order my food. Sometimes the coffee comes out cold, but if you ask nicely, the waitresses are more than happy to make you a fresh pot. The staff is young and that’s probably why the service is slow. But, if you can overlook the slow service, this place will become one of your favorites.

Had heard about The Perch and so I was pretty excited to finally make my way. Have to say– it just may be one of my new favorite destinations just for the atmosphere alone.
You know those places you see on TV shows where couples are out for a nice dinner and there are all of those beautiful globe lights hanging from the trees? Thats how this place looks when you walk in through the main entrance. My husband and I just went for drinks — but we definitely plan on going again soon so that we can give the menu a try. The setting is very casual and the menu seems to offer the basic american type cuisine.
There are two bar areas– one upstairs and one down. Definitely a nice weather spot because– for the most part– all spaces are outside, except the downstairs bar. The upstairs bar area had tons of couches and patio heaters located all throughout which added to the ambiance. The night we were there both bar areas were packed.
Overall, seems to be a really great place to go grab a meal or drinks under the stars and just enjoy the evening.

This place was great! It’s a bit hard to find, but once you find it, you’ll be happy that you did. There are plenty of places to sit, so you won’t have trouble finding your comfort zone. The outside patio is perfect for a nice day or evening, as is the rooftop. If you’d rather sit inside, the inside bar is also a great option. We decided to share a couple of appetizers on our visit. We went with the arepas and the pig wings. The pig wings were delicious! The arepas didn’t have much flavor and were just okay. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on the beer selection because we went with wine. I know, I know… it’s a brewery. But now I have a good reason to return and hopefully update my review to five stars. Stay tuned…

Came here with my wife and some friends during our pub crawl. My wife and I are totally into birds (especially large talking birds lol) and so we already knew we would be having a blast here. There are multiple cages of birds ranging from cockatoos to macaws! We came pretty late at night so most of the birds were already asleep, but I’d imagine it’s even more fun observing them while they’re awake.
Now on to the drinks. They have a decent variety of craft beer here including their own. I ordered the S’more Stout and thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfect combination of flavors and an appetizing aroma! I also tried some of their tater tots which were pretty bomb as well.
The only knock I have on this place is the restroom situation. Based on how crowded it gets, they should probably have more than a small single-​stall room per gender. When there’s a line for the men’s room, it’s sort of an issue hehe.
Perch is very close to the main Downtown Chandler square. So next time you’re in the area, find a parking spot, enjoy the old western architecture of DC and find your way over to Perch for a good time!

Went to The Perch last Thursday to meet a friend I haven’t seen in a while. I like the patio area — very cool, but since it was still pretty uncomfortable outside we headed straight into the bar area where there were still some seats left.
The selection of craft beers here is phenomenal. If beer is your thing, this is your place. Lot’s of good stuff and a wide variety to pick from. The bartenders will let you sample beers before you fully commit, and if that isn’t enough the patrons sitting next to you are more than helpful. I couldn’t make up my mind on what to try until the guy sitting next to me offered some suggestions that hit it out of the park.
On the food side, I like what they have going on with the menu. Since this was my first visit, I don’t have a lot of recommendations other than what I ordered: The Beer Bread Burger. OMG. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. House made beer bread, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon — all topped with beer cheese.
I will definitely be back here to try some new beers and sample some more food from the kitchen. The coolest part of my visit — discovering the rooftop bar/​lounge, with live music, sofas and chairs. I think I found heaven.

If you haven’t been here before, there is a small parking lot next to the restaurant. However, the likelihood of getting a spot might be slim. A public parking dirt/​gravel lot is nearby.
You cannot miss this place. You will hear the birds calling… maybe calling out to you… and it is loud whether you are inside or out!
Started with a surprisingly refreshing light and crisp grapefruit beer @ a whopping 2.5% ETOH content. Perfect for the lush alike!
The Perch pretzel ($ 7) came as it’s true pretzel form (warm and fluffy) with a side of beer cheese dip and house made mustard. Simple enough and yet so comforting!
The other «Bites» selected was the pulled pork sliders (3 for $ 11). This was my favorite! Deliciousness with the generous portion of beer braised pork in their house BBQ sauce with fried light onion ring housed in a pretzel bun. Mmmm…
Finally, pizza picking: green chili pork pizza ($ 10). Unfortunately, it did not have as much pork on it at all. And my lips were on fire because of all the chili or jalapeño seeds sprinkled on the pizza! So in the end I was trying hard to search for the taste of mozzarella, red onion, and especially the pork. I think my taste buds need a break.
Ah well next time!
