Description

Owner Matt Diamond might've honed his chops at some of the Valley's best wine bars, but he and his wife Courtney decided to call their restaurant an "ale house" instead, offering five AZ craft brews among the eight on tap, along with 20 bottles and cans. There's still wine, of course, as well as a full menu of craveable sandwiches and salads, a killer hot dog called The Coronado Coney, and even a Stone Imperial Stout float for dessert. Vintage hip-hop and soul tracks, plus the red brick bungalow setting, make it a cozy CenPho watering hole.

    Awesome happy hour. (All day long on a Monday? It's just what the doctor ordered.) I loved the patio, loved the tunes, loved the chill people around me. And I especially loved my Four Peaks Peach Ale, Calvano sandwich with mixed greens on the side, and cheesecake for dessert. I tried a bite of the mac and cheese too, and it's pretty legit - most of the time, I think restaurant mac tastes the same as boxed mac, but this was definitely flavorful and gooey and worth ordering. I'll be back, TMI, and soon!

    One of the best happy hours in Phoenix! Craft beer for $2.50 a pint! Who beats that? And the food is great too.

    Scrumtrulescent! The food in this place is fresh and paired well. I love the location too - an old brick house. Cool place to hang on a weekend night!

  • 2012 | Best Happy Hour, Downtown Phoenix

    After a long day at our 9 to 5, there is nothing we want more than to be drinking a pint of cold craft beer and listening to our favorite old-school jams on the patio of The Main Ingredient. The renovated 1920s Coronado neighborhood bungalow turned restaurant always has an enticing selection of local and craft beers on tap and a glass of wine for as little as $4, as well as cocktail specials. Main Ingredient doesn't feature specials on food, but with its drink prices so cheap, we're willing... More »

    We would have preferred to keep this Coronado secret to ourselves, but it's time to let the cat out of the bag. The Main Ingredient's patio is the best place to kick back and relax after a long day of doing, well, anything, really. There are no food specials and no gimmicks -- just a shady patio full of friendly souls chillin' out listening to the sweet sounds of classic '90s hip-hop while enjoying a cheap drink or two. The beer selection is limited to just eight tap handles but offers... More »

  • 2010 | Best Hot Dog

    When Matt and Courtney Diamond opened their bangin' little "ale house" in a Seventh Street bungalow, it wasn't enough to have a great list of regional craft beers and quaffable, affordable wines. They came up with some scrumptious eats, too, the most beer-friendly of them all being the Coronado Coney, named after the historic district where the restaurant is situated. This is one top dog, a plump, juicy all-beef frank from Schreiner's Sausage, a local institution right up the street. It's... More »
