“Rating is for their web store, which I've used an embarrassing amount during quarantine. So Superstition mead is amazing. They deliver to most states and their webstore gets all kinds of great stuff. You can pay a little more for early access, but most important, mead is great and superstition mead is the best. Expensive though.“

“Most renowned for their barrel picks of whiskey, tequila, etc. Most loved for their pizza and restaurant. Probably most under rated for their beer selection.“

“Very cool and cosy bar in the basement of a delicatessen store. I took two flights of twelve(?) 2 cl glasses of different styles of mead. They made me fall in love with melomels. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Located inside Bashford Mall, in the heart of downtown Prescott, this place has been here since the late 80s, and is a staple of the Prescott experience. Most beer is now brewed off location at the main plant just north in the Prescott airpark. John is the owner and runs a tight ship here in a tourist town; fun and busy atmosphere most of the time, has great craft beers on tap that include standard fare (amber, IPA, porter, etc) and rotating seasonals. I happen to love the Achocolypse for its slight coffee but bold chocolate flavor. Food here is also pretty good, and reasonably priced for the downtown area. Check it out for lunch or dinner. Also got one of the best happy hours in the downtown Prescott area.“

“Went here in December 2016. This place closed about May 2018. Its now called 'Marks Beer Garden'. Addictions Bar was owned by a nice couple that purchased it for fun, hoping to also make some money, and it was mostly run by the wife but after only 2 years they decided it was too much work, and their profit margins were close to nothing. Over all it was a good concept with relaxed atmosphere, decent selection of about 20 beers on draft, basic food menu of sandwiches and burgers, live music some nights, large outdoor patio area. Unfortunately, the landlord was trying to sell the building and the place was in a pretty run-down condition, and the landlord did little to nothing to maintain the facilities or improve the property.“

“Visited on a Friday shortly after they opened. The place is kind of hard to find since it's entrance is actually inside another building. They had a sign on the sidewalk, but I didn't actually see it until we were almost to the first entrance we needed. My GPS said I was actually there about two blocks early, so be prepared for that to happen. The entrance is right across from the courthouse and you have to go in through a big cooking shop. Once you are inside, walk toward the staircase you can see toward the back and go downstairs. At this point you should see plenty of signage to help. Downstairs is like a high end wine bar, which it sort of is, just with mead. There is a large bar with some of the most comfortable barstools I have ever encountered, but also a lot of tables to choose from as well. The place never really got too busy, but I was there at an off time and they were still about half full. I could imagine they get slammed at high traffic times. The mead selection here is out of this world. All the meads and ciders are their own, but that means it all rules in my opinion. You can do flights of once ounce pours of anything they have in stock and purchase bottles of almost anything. Prices are on the menu and it was up to date for my visit. If you purchase a case, you do get a 10% discount. Service here is excellent as well. Both guys working checked up on us plenty of times and kept us hydrated with a new water bottle any time ours was empty. All things considered, this place is world class, and should be on any mead lovers bucket list!“

“A friendly and relaxed brewpub, just a few steps away from the main Courthouse Square. Very quiet on a wet Tuesday night, giving me an excellent opportunity to chat with the brewer. For me this by far the best of the brew pubs in Prescott, being unpretentious and having really good beers.“

“A nicely styled, modern-looking brewpub across the street from the estimable Raven Cafe - let down in my opionion by the loudness and choice of the music, shich is even played outside on the sidewalk. Great service, and a good range of thier own beers, although lacking the guests that other have reported.“

“Easy to drive right by, the window is so small. Downstairs in a speakeasy type setting below a shop/coffeehouse. Fantastic all around - the food, décor, service. Meads were out of this world good, and though bottles are expensive, the flight was reasonable.“

“Like Gene I had some trouble finding the place, visited just before closure and the other day just after they opened. Understandably almost no one inside, pleasant interior, wouldn’t mind spending couple of hours here. Quality of meads and cider was great. One of the reasons to visit Prescott and I wasn’t disappointed. Well worth visiting.“

“Large liquor store with excellent beer selection. Since we’ve visited just after opening I haven’t checked the taps, I believe there are 16 of them. 13 fridges full of beer, and some outside, good selection of local stuff, also Almanac, Bruery, some Deschutes specials, Prairie, Modern Times. Grabbed Arizona Wilderness crowler. Superstition meads are available, lots of spirits and wine. In terms of beer selection some rarities (or should I say whalez) could make it better, but i perfectly understand it’s hard to expect that in such small town. Service was very good, guys working there gave me recommendation of some local beers. Breaking of 6 packs was allowed. Haven’t checked other shops in town (if there are any), but it’s hard to imagine a better shop at a town this size.“

“The best place in town I’ve managed to find. Pleasant interior, lots of wood. Very nice terrace upstairs we’ve enjoyed dinner up there after a long drive to Prescott. Beer selection is quite good, 30 taps, nothing spectacular, but good amount of AZ breweries. About 100 bottles in fridges, some quite interesting, caught myself a Hopslam. Food was good, service as well. Would revisit.“

“Walk down into the basement of a high-end food boutique...jams, hot sauces, spices, oils, etc. up top but the good stuff is down below! Once in the lair, honeycombs and a long bar await. Dimly lit, but the barrels and demijohns of unique experimental concoctions loom in a small room behind you. Hard not to stare! A great opportunity to try their incredible selection without forking out an astronomical amount on a bottle. Believe me, the bottles are worth it but it takes a bit of discipline to make it through 750 ml. You MUST experience this if in the area...world-class!“

“Pretty generic brewery restaurant in the historic town center of Prescott. PBC has been in business for more than 22 years, which is pretty respectable in this business. The brewing facility has been moved off-site a while ago (late 2011) but I am unsure if some brewing is still done at the brewpub. The interior of the restaurant is classic, first generation American brewpub. It looked almost a little run down to me. At the time of our visit, (late in the evening on a Wednesday) PBC was the restaurant with decent beer still open in town. The restaurant staff we interacted with were not really interested in their beer selection but were nice enough to provide us with a flight of everything the produce. Beers ranged from middling in quality to fairly interesting but nothing I would write home about. Many of their beers may have been right on the edge of extreme when they started 22 years ago but are now solidly within the core range of most microbreweries...“

“Superstition Meadery is located in the historic town center of Prescott which otherwise hosts a mix of antique shops, fairly historic buildings, bud light-serving bars and tourist trap junk shops. The meadery as well as the bar is located downstairs in one of the latter. However, once you enter the bar, the very welcoming and knowledgeable staff will let you know that their mead is in fact locally made (behind a glass wall visible from the bar). Depending on your level of expertise, they will tell you everything about the bees and birds. The bar is small but cozy, ’speakeasy feel’ probably describes it fairly well. There is bar seating as well as tables of varying sizes. When we were there, the light was fairly dim and the noise level acceptably low. The value for money at the bar is tremendous, a flight of 12 meads (ca. 1oz pours) covering most of their range will cost you 24$. The flight includes not only their core range but also smaller batch experimental meads (in our case Marion Coffee for example) or ciders. A separate flight of three berry whites can be had for 15$, which is significantly more expensive but still an excellent experience. Some of the meads we tasted were available in bottles varying in price ranges (around 30-50$ for the core range 750ml bottles and 85$ for the chocolate berry range in smaller bottles), some swag is also available. The quality and selection of meads at Superstition is incredible, it is at the same time a place where you can go and enjoy some of the world’s best meads and at the same time convert your non-mead drinking friends.“

“About 10 minutes driving from the town centre, this is like has a country shack feel to it. Average tap list, the highlights being the Mother Road beers. You can do flights of 4 for $10. Service is decent and friendly. Wouldn’t overly recommend a stop, but this was a cool place.“

“Best bottle shop I visited in Arizona. Extensive selection and tons of singles available. Good import selection too. The place itself is located in a big strip mall, and the front half is a restaurant that serves pizzas and other food, and the back half is the liquor store. Service is hands off, which is fine by me. Prices seemed reasonable for the area. If in Prescott, this is a must stop.“

“Nice little cafe in the heart of the town centre, firstly across the street from Granite Mountain. Lots of taps but beers not available in flights or taster sizes, so not an ideal ticker place. They have but stopped serving at 2pm, so didn’t eat. Service is friendly. Not a mandatory stop when in town, but it’s a nicely set-up place.“

“Just around the corner from Supserstition and across the street from Raven’s Cafe, this is a really nice place to hang out and sample some beers. They had 8 house beers on tap plus a guest beer. Beer quality wasn’t great, though not flawed, with a couple of standouts. Rather pricy for the flight of 9, which was $20+tax. Service was decent and quick. Solid spot for a stop when in town.“

“Almost immediately next to Superstition, this place is located in a little shopping mall. Rustic but modern feel to the place, there is plenty of seating, tables and bar. I ordered a flight of 9 forms good price, though the beers were generic and forgettable. Service was friendly enough. If you are in Prescott and have the extra time, you could stop, but I wouldn’t give it priority.“

“What an amazing place. Located in the heart of Prescott’s town centre, you have to go through a little shop first and then head downstairs to the mead cellar. Set up beautifully, there are a few tables and a bunch of bar chairs. You can order a flight of 12 for $24, which gets your 1 oz pours of all their main products. Then there are a few additional products which often consist of their very expensive $100 bottles, available for sampling for $10 - and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Mead quality is out of this world. These guys just hit it out of the park with almost everything they do. Service is super-friendly and knowledgeable, and they like ratebeer (of course, their stuff is rated so well ;) ). This was a truly unforgettable experience. If you are anywhere close, arrange a trip. You won’t be disappointed.“

“One of the best places in AZ, and definitely a can not miss when in Prescott. The cellar location is cozy and has a bit of a speakeasy feel. The staff are fantastic, and there are always world class meads available, some of their more rare offerings, some onsite only offerings, and usually some mead-based cocktails. There are some small bites platters available. and you can look at all of the barrels, and italian glass demijohns of small batch experimental meads aging as you sip on your tasters or glass of mead or cider.“

“An unassuming place, in the basement of a grocery store. I had trouble finding it, got lost in Prescott Brewing and ended up by the back door. Staff with a key let me in. Glad they did. Amazing selection of amazing mead. Tasty snack food paired well. Massive flights go on forever. A must visit if anywhere in the area.“

“I came out to Arizona a day before my conference in Tempe started so I could visit Superstition. I am so glad I did! Groovy place that is in the basement of a gourmet foods store. Phenomenal meads. Flight of 12 pours for $24 with some additional pours available. It was a quiet Wednesday so I just camped out for about 2 hours. Everyone I met there were super friendly - I even got a little tour of the brewing operation from one of the brewers. Amazing to see such high quality stuff coming out of such a tiny brewing space. They have appetizer-ish foods, but I did not have any. These guys have really embraced RateBeer with the awards they’ve won framed on the wall. Make a trip - cool area of Arizona and an awesome spot for mead.“

“It’s a bar that happens to make beer (not clear where this happens). Bartender was cool. 9 beers on tap. Seems like as many mixed drinks / wine heading out from the bar as their beer. Quite busy, even on a Wednesday evening. Pizza was pretty good, but not great - I like that it’s made with their spent grain, but I’m not sure how you could tell.“

“Chill place that reminds me of a hipster coffee shop. Decided not to eat here, but it looked pretty good. Tiny fermentation system behind the bar. Blind Melon playing, ugh. Two of their beers were pretty good (a Belgian blonde and a milk stout) their other beers were off (old or oxidized or someone got a deal on cheap old hops??). Worth checking out for a few rakes. 5 taster pours for $10. Two Superstition taps (not different than they had at the tasting room though). Three beer guest taps too.“

“Pretty awesome place hidden off the beaten path in a small country town. A liquor store/beer store that you can drink a beer while you shop. Now thats pretty awesome. Throw in a huge oitdoor patio and some great food and you got a winning combination. Had the wood fired mac and cheese skillet and it was amazing. They had over 1000 beers to choose from and i think 16 on tap. My recemt visit they had the new odell pineapplr sour on tap as well as the grapefruit sculpin which was bomb. If ya ever in prescott ya gotta check this hidden gem out. The whiskey selection was pretty insane as well. Great job to who ever created this concept you rock.“

“Basically around the corner of Cortez from Superstition, so an easy rake. Pretty nice place, their small brewing system is right behind the bar. Lots of tables as well. Flatbread pizzas were solid - you could see the woodfire oven in the back. They had 12 total taps, including guest taps and a couple dedicated to Superstition meads. They had a mead that was not pouring at Superstition, so its a good place to pad your mead rakes as well. Bar staff were super friendly here as well. I did the flight. The milk stout was good, others could use a little fine-tuning, but nothing terrible.“

“This is about a two hour drive from Phoenix including all the damn lights in Prescott Valley, but it is worth the trip. Superstition is in the basement of a gourmet food store; you need to walk through to get there. Lots of street parking outside. Cool jazz and big band music playing, although there is a pretty eclectic mix if you stay a while. Nice ambiance, long bar at one side and a small number of tables around. No real food, but a lot of nice appetizers, like cheese and charcuterie plates, that I am assuming are sourced upstairs. Service was impeccable. The two people there when I was there were super friendly, helpful, understood mead, and were both into the larger beer scene. They recommended downloading the ratebeer app so I could rate their stuff, and were quick to point out that they have the number one mead AND cider on ratebeer. They have 6 tap handles (may have been nine), but its not at all obvious what pours from them. For sure the ciders, as they don’t bottle those yet, and the "off-flight" meads as well. Most of their pours come straight from the bottle, and they have the same bottles you are sampling available to go. They offer a "super flight" which consists of 2 oz pours of most of what they have. In my case it was 3 ciders and 9 meads. They had one other mead available off-flight, but Micah threw that one in for me for free. This place is a lot of fun, a great place to talk mead, and a real must-have experience. Go there. Oh, and off-sale bottles ranged in price from $32-48. They also sold shirts and glasses. And no, I am not a homer. This place is legit.“

“Well-located in the center of Prescott, this has all the "hip vibe" of the latest pop-up brewpubs around the country. It’s less "stuffy" than the dated, nearby PBC, and the beer and food is quite good. Friendly service. Neat art. Recommended. Brewery #709.“
