Angel's Trumpet Ale House

We’ve been here before — their patio is fantastic and one of my favorite spots to sit when the weather cooperates. Unfortunately, they’re going out of business at the end of the week, so if you’ve been meaning to check them out, now’s the time to show some love before they’re gone. Beer Flight: #7 Slice of Heaven Hefeweizen: A little too literal — light, slightly sweet, but not much “heaven” happening flavor-wise. #9 SweetSin Chocolate Porter: Very creamy with a nice mellow chocolate note — smooth and not bitter. Easily the best of the bunch. #18 Bacon & Eggs Imperial Coffee Porter: The coffee aroma hits you first (in a good way), and the flavor backs it up — bold, roasty, and definitely bitter. Not for the faint of heart, but solid. #22 White Witbier: Pretty much flavorless. If you told me this was sparkling water with an identity crisis, I’d believe you. #26 Rielly’s Irish Stout: Predictable but reliable — smooth, not too heavy, does exactly what you expect. #30 Prickly Pearadise Cider: Really refreshing and not overly sweet, though it’d be way better ice-cold instead of “mildly chilled.” The SweetSin Chocolate Porter was the clear winner for me. We split the Warm Sausage Platter — three sausages, two pretzels, and a mix of sauces that sounded amazing on paper. In reality? Two of the sausages were good, one was a dud, and there wasn’t nearly enough of the sauces to really taste them. The creamy horseradish and hot mustard were the standouts; the rest were just kind of there. My husband went for the Bourbon County 2018 Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout — and wow, that’s a stout. It’s so thick it’s practically syrup, but in that smooth, luxurious way that stout lovers chase. I appreciated it, but one sip was plenty for me.

Visited here last night to grab a quick bite before a comedy show in downtown Phoenix. Ordered the crispy fried pork riblets. I thought the flavor of the pork was pretty good. However, it was very salty and hard to eat because of the rib bones that were inside each piece and also pieces of cartilage, etc. I guess I was expecting more of a boneless experience or a burnt end experience. We also ordered the pretzel and that was very good. I’m not much of a beer drinker so I had the cider that they had on tap which was apple and lemon and that was excellent. Service was good. The wait staff were very friendly. Parking was very challenging. They do have a small number of spaces right next to the restaurant which is great, but if those are taken, then you have to park on the street. I think in the winter when it’s cooler and the patio is available, I bet it’s a rockin place and I look forward to trying it again sometime.

We came at a recommendation of someone we met somewhere else. If you are a craft beer person, they have beers for everyone! The service was great. The food was wonderful. We were told we should order their homemade Pop-tarts. This month's flavor was peanut butter and jelly. It was wonderful. We sat outside but they have a nice indoor area too.

One of my husband’s go-to spots for a flight of beer, and I can see why! Their rotating selection keeps things interesting, and the food never disappoints. Today’s picks: the Brewlee burger with a fried egg (our favorite!), crispy skin-on fries, and the spud taquitos—cheesy, crispy goodness. Always a solid choice for a date night. Plus it was a quiet time of a Thursday evening.

Good place for burgers and beer. 2 beers shared one hamburger, $38.00 not including tip. Nothing is inexpensive these days.
