Thirsty Lion Gastropub Gilbert, Az

We came in for Arizona restaurant week and lett me just say, if you're considering it- DO IT. For $33 per person you get a three course meal and everything we had was absolutely on point! So delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. It felt like the cooks really cared about details and took pride in what they were sending out to the tables. Our server, Brooklyn, was very attentive and helpful, and overall we can't say enough about how great of an experience it was. For whatever reason I have not been able to find a place that will actually cook my burger medium rare. It's always medium or even well done. But the cooks at Thirsty Lion got me a PERFECT medium rare burger. Made my day! We had a ton of fun and left super full and happy!

1st time visiting this restaurant was a great experience. The Gastropub burger was perfectly built and cooked. This burger is now in my top 10 of all-time burgers. #1 being Gordon Ramsey’s Burger in Las Vegas. I washed this down with a cold pint of Papago Orange Blossom beer. The server Chris, was super friendly and gladly answered any questions I had. His hospitality and menu knowledge was outstanding! The morning/lunch crew on Thurs Sept 29, and especially the hostess, were all working hard to keep the restaurant up to high standards. This is a neat restaurant. I will be returning soon.

We have been coming here for years…usually for lunch. Whether we’re meeting with a client or have the kids in tow after shopping, there always seems to be something on the menu for everyone. Food is delicious and service is friendly.

We have been trying to find our go to casual pub with good (if not great food. We felt like we 've been all over and either the food was bad (like BAD or they played live music on the weekends, thus making conversation impossible (and then why bother going out? . We FINALLY found THE spot!!! The atmosphere is chill and the music is NOT blaring! I can 't tell you how many places play the music to max level allowed. I really want to converse with the company I go out with, so I can 't tell you how much I appreciated it! Next is the level of detail in EVERYTHING: the food is great. Everything is made from scratch and even the side salads were delicious. The thoughtfulness put into each dish was really amazing for a pub. I love shrimp tacos but hate getting a whole shrimp and the rest of my taco is empty. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious, AND cut into medium pieces so you could appreciate the quality while also having a balanced bite of ingredients. They cut up a small lime chunk per taco. Really well thought out. Our server Kaylee (so sorry if her name is misspelled! She was amazing! was the perfect level of being attentive without overbearing (this can tough when we came in with just a little over an hour before closing . She was very knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations! Last but certainly not least the drinks. We typically find a bar is focused on a specific commodity of alcohol, but never have I seen a pub execute a listing cocktails (modern/claasic/and seasonal! , a variety of beers (craft/import/macro , AND a well balanced, quality wine list! We tried the Makers Manhattan and could not believe we got such a well executed, perfectly balanced Manhattan from a place that is not just focused on mixology. They were just lovely! We were just so impressed by how thoughtful every aspect of our experience was, and want to thank every member of their team (front line, back of the house, management, etc for curating such a wonderful experience. It was everything we were looking for and more!!

We enjoyed our dinner here so much we went back on Sunday for their brunch. What a wonderful meal, 4 of us each ordered a different item and we were not disappointed. We will definitely return
