World Of Beer

Great selection of brews. Server was great, unlike most servers on Mill St. He did a great job. Tater tots were great.

Just left El Hefen and came across the street to this place. OMG! Big difference in the service. The atmosphere is totally different from the bar we just left. The bar staff was awesome and friendly. They made us feel welcomed and gave us great service. Thanks for the great experience and we’ll be back!

WOB WOB WOB! I had an old friend who worked here after I graduated from ASU in 2012 so I payed her a vista and boy was it great! So many beer options… and I’m indecisive, I had to get 3 different ones on tap!
Service, after she left, was actually pretty poor which caused my star deduction. Other than that I love the options here and the ability to get either a bottle or tap is nice.
All in all, if craving a weird beer from away place I would stop by when I’m in the area.

Huge selection of beers on tap and even bottled. The only caveat is they might not have some of the on tap stuff. What do I mean?
Me: May I have the Dogfish Head brew?
BT: Sorry, we currently don’t have that one.
Me: Okayyy… How about the Four Peaks beer?
BT: Yeah, we don’t have that one either. We had a tasting event earlier and don’t have those.
Good times. There are plenty of other places on Mill and Tempe with large beer selections that actually have inventory. Proceed to this place with caution!

I found myself, along with some friends, wandering the streets of Tempe, after a University of Washington v. Arizona State loss. We found a quick table available at the World of Beer, and were really attracted to the place based on some online reviews attacking the owner. But, we wanted to check it out for ourselves. Great service, pretty much. And when it wasn’t great service and we let them know, we were comp’d our appetizer, thanks! Go Dawgs!

World of beer had a great selection of beers. The fact that I knew more about there selection was the only reason I didn’t rate it a 5 star. You normally get this kind of service in touristy parts of the city for Tempe this was above par. Still a go to for serious beer though. Service was so so.

The service was horrible, the food was even worse and the bathrooms we are atrocious. First plate of food came out cold and had to send it back. Another person from our group ordered jalapeño sliders and each came with one single small slice of jalapeño. Tater tots we’re disgusting with cheese that seem like it came out of the freezer minutes before they put over semi warm food. I saw a glimpse of the kitchen which in would not serve my worst enemies out of. People in the penitentiary would send back the food from this kitchen. Bone Appetit

They have a variety of draft beers to choose from (obviously). Their bathrooms are cleaner than the hotel room I rented *thumbs up*. The staff/​bar tenders are super friendly and willing to give as many samples needed to choose the next beer :)

If this was a year ago I would give 5 stars, but WOB has changed for the worse.
I will start off by saying Linda, Ben, Kenny, Cody, and both Brittany’s were all great! They were the coolest people with the best ability to match my palette to their selections. Well, Kenny and Cody moved to other locations and Brittany left the company. After then there were new bartenders that were cluelessly rude!
I was a regular, being an IT person, we deal with a lot of stupid stuff on a daily basis. WOB was the perfect place to kick back, have a beer, watch a game or play trivia on Tuesday’s. I’ve met many awesome people there, and even when awkwardly running into my boss while bar hopping, still had a good time!
The last time I was there I sat at the bar on a slower night and was completely ignored! There were people who walked up to the bar and were served immediately. I had to ask two guys next to me for a beer menu, then tried to flag one of the bartenders to take my order to no avail.
I know WOB is busy as all get out, and I like that about the place (except the lack of seating), so I don’t push the servers to take my order, especially since most of them are super cool people. But the last experience of shitty service was on a particularly crappy day for me, and being completely ignored was the icing on the shit cake. I ended up leaving and going over to CASA, who I would get mediocre service and received the best service ever from them then and since.

Its funny reading the comments on service. Why would you let 1 time bad service make you give a place like this a 1 star? The beer choices are excellent here! I found a new type of beer I really enjoy, I got the shrimp tacos which were amazing and got to watch football. What more can you ask for?

Overall our experience was good.
The beer/​cider we had was really good. We decided to order food as well and it was just okay. My boyfriend really enjoyed his steak sandwich and the fries we both had were great. I ordered the sliders and while the bun and onion ring on each were great, the actual patty itself left something to be desired. It was very small and dry. It tasted of a badly made meatloaf and was round as if it was meant to be a meatball instead of a slider. Definitely not something I would ever order again.
Would for sure go back for the alcohol and atmosphere, but will be getting food elsewhere from now on.

if you want quality craft beer and a huge selection… this is the place to be. I always ask for tasters before ording a pint and the bartenders are always friendly enough to let me try what I want. Also, its a rotating beer menu, so there is something new to try every time I go!
I would also recommend trying their beer flights, so you can get a little taste of everything.
I like to sit outside on the patio and silently judge the drunken ASU kids that walk down Mill Ave, embarassing themselves in so many ways. Its just my form of entertainment.
They also do Trivia night which is free!
I will avoid this place like the plague during the weekends though, its small and gets crowded quite quicky, but the weekday its just perfect.

Come for the beer stay for the people watching.
With a crazy long beer list featuring some of the best local brews along with rare and hard to find drafts and bottle WoB is a spot any beer lover can get behind. When it comes to a view it may not have scenic sunsets and valley views but on any given weekend night it has fantastic views of the debauchery that is Mill Ave. Watch as a guy is shot down trying to pull a number on a corner or as a girl is carried to the car after a few too many PBR’s at Moonshine. Don’t forget the jesus lovers trying to convince ASU students they should give up their ways mid-​party.
While I haven’t sampled much in the food department the wings I had were solid and the pretzel with bacon beer cheese was not only massive it was just the right density for a snack and incredibly enough without a costco bottle of salt on it.

Come here and ask for John. He had a great knowledge of what was on tap and was energetic and quick to check back with us. Great vibe inside of here and they have great food as well! Definitely a place worth checking out if you’re on Mill.

Went to this place on a Sunday afternoon, it was pretty busy and service was super slow. I think the waitress was overloaded with tables and the only one on. I’ve been here before and the food was good. I ordered a sour beer that was good, and our waitress suggested I try another one– which I did and liked it a lot. Will be back when hopefully they are staffed to not overloaded.

This is hands down the worst service I have ever encountered.
Our server took a few minutes before greeting our table. She was hesitant to answer any question the menu; telling us,“I will be back in a minute.” After 10 minutes of waiting my party decided to leave.
The venue has a total of 12 patrons
Will NEVER return

I was visiting Tempe from Tucson and my friend and I were starving late after a concert, we chose to go to World Of Beer at first they said the kitchen just closed but then the chef came out and asked what we wanted and whipped it up for us really quick. We ordered the tots and gigantic pretzel. We ordered a cider and «not your fathers root beer» they said they received one bottle of the root beer for the staff to try but gave it to us anyways. The staff was extremely friendly, food was great and the service was awesome. I really dislike the world of beer back home in Tucson because the service there is disgraceful, but I was so impressed with the world of beer in Tempe.

First time in this WoB. From 9 attempts, 8 beers were sold out. Finally I found a beer from Poland which was in stock. I asked the bartender to see the bottle and later I realized the best before date was expired. (I told the server that it was expired, but no reaction from her)
After drinking ¾ of the beer (1 hour later), I felt very bad in my stomach and asked for water and a slice of bread. I got my water, but the server said that she would have to charge me for bread. So I took the cab back and my friends continued partying that night.
We all ate 6 hours ago the same kind of sub at subway and I was the only one feeling very bad.
I’m German, so I am sorry for my non native English.

We came here for the game and had a blast. Our server was patient and great with our big crowd. It was overwhelming for me to pick out a beer so I just told the server what I was in the mood for and he came back with the perfect selection. We had the mac and cheese, pretzel, wings and we initially wanted the ham and cheese sandwich but they said they were discontinuing that so they subbed in turkey. Pretty standard bar food, not great but not bad at all.
Would definitely go back here for another game as they have tv’s everywhere.

My buddies and I decided to stop in to grab some beers to escape the heat. What we didn’t realize was the place didn’t open for another hour. The bartender however was quite gracious and was happy to serve us poor sweaty saps.
I opted for several of the local brews (Ninkkasi, dark and malty) and they definitely hit the spot. The variety is great (see the pictures) and there are loads of beers on tap and available. If you want to take a peek before venturing in, the menu is quite extensive:
Since the place wasn’t officially open, the bartender stood by and chatted. Very cool girl, I don’t recall her name but she was from California and she was very knowledgeable about the beers and the things to do in the area (and randomly, San Diego (lol)). The ambiance was a typical bar getup and there were TVs with sports. Very chill.

For the beer-​illiterates like myself:
When choosing a beer, the bitterness level is measured by IBU. IBU usually ranges from 0 (watery) to 120 (cough syrup/​medicine (IMO)). Beers are categorized in Malts (dark with usually hints of caramel, coffee, nuts, etc), Stouts (barley), Porters (dark and dry), Ales (full bodied with hints of fruit/​spice), and Lagers (aged, very carbinated with a medium hops taste).

Cheers!

Big selection of beers. They also have a small mix drinks menu as well. Didn’t realize it until a few days ago but they also serve food? Not sure if it’s good or not. Didn’t want to pay for overpriced food if it’s going to be bad.
The white chocolate and the Hava beer with blueberries was good!
I say come in a small group because it’s true what they say about the place being small. And eat first because the food here is unknown variable. Who knows if it’s good or bad. And then you’ll be out some money too that could have been spent on beer.
