Turquoise Desert Taproom

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in the Desert! Turquoise Desert Taproom is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve visited in a long time! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a relaxed vibe, friendly staff, and a beautifully curated selection of local and regional brews. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just looking for a place to unwind, this place has something for everyone. The tap list is constantly rotating, keeping things fresh and exciting every time you visit. I especially loved their hazy IPA and the seasonal sours – bold flavors with perfect balance. The staff clearly knows their stuff and are happy to offer samples or help pair drinks with whatever you’re snacking on. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, with cool desert-themed decor that makes the place feel uniquely Southwestern. Live music nights and trivia events make it a true community hub. It’s the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with a stranger and leave with a new friend. Turquoise Desert Taproom is more than just a bar – it’s an experience. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Owner takes pride in serving the community. Servers are great and prompt. Food is like having a home made dinner at home. Not a bad thing to say about Turquoise. Oh and do not forget the bakery next door.... Also great

Excellent little hidden gem. We are literally sitting in here right now. We stopped in on the way to Albertsons and boy am I glad. We ordered a few IPA’s they (have a great selection) and we got the pretzel with the spicy mustard and beer cheese is supreme. Our waitress Kelly is just lovely and attentive. Highly recommend. Will likely be here for the Super Bowl! ***UPDATE*** 3/20/24 5 pm. It’s been a few months since we’ve been here, and this time we got actual food. I got the Grilled Chicken Club. The freshly baked bread truly allows the chicken, cheese, pickled red onions and fresh avocado to shine. Fantastic service from Aspen, paired with a wonderfully chilled atmosphere. They are open to 9 on most nights. No shots allowed, but they do serve beer, wine and mixed drinks. My husband got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and he’s raving about it. Tried it for myself and my oh my They also use local spirits so come out and support this fantastic little gem!

Hands down, some of the best beer, food, service in the area. A real gem. Ordered a turquoise burger with onion rings, and my friend ordered a patty melt with cole slaw. Both burgers were cooked medium rare, perfectly prepared. The onion rings were battered, yet crunchy! Only 2 places I’ve been that have better onion rings and that’s Hodad’s in San Diego and Sylvester’s in Atascadero. Enjoyed a Bosque Brewing Coffee Stout and a 1544 Black Lager... both were excellent beers!

The food here is pretty good. I had the salsa verde bowl. And also some chicken wings. They were both pretty good. Service is okay.

First lunch here and I must say it was fantastic! Service and atmosphere are excellent. Great location. Tried the Turquoise Burger with home fries. Very good! The homemade buns are a great touch! Also had a Marble Double White Berry. Will definitely be back! Support local!

Kevin was awesome.... Exceptional service!!! The food..... incredible!! Our patty shared One of the yummy homemade pretzels with queso... We had fajitas, fish, and chips, and pizza. Everything well exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back.!!

5/29/25 Update: Almost two years since my last post and I still love the food there, and they have added some new items, such as the pizza, which I love. 8/7/23 New post: I had the chicken sandwich at Turquoise Desert for the first time today, and now I understand why it's the only thing my daughter orders. It was excellent! It had lots of bacon, avocado, and tomatoes. The fries are delicious also. It was big enough for me to share it with my daughter. I normally take pictures of my food but it was so good I didn't. If you're looking for an awesome chicken sandwich and top-notch service, you don't have to go far. Just head over to Turquoise Desert Taproom. Great service and awesome food! We went by Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings, our usual weekend restaurants, but both places had an hour wait. So we went to Chilis. We waited 15 minutes for a table, were sat, and after 15 minutes without a server approaching our table, we left. This place is a few blocks away from our house and less packed with people, so the environment is definitely better, and we got a table immediately. Our waitress took our drink order within 2 minutes. I really enjoyed the wings. My husband liked the nachos, and my daughter liked the kids' chicken tenders. The fresh salsa was the best we'd had from anywhere in a while. I believe they use Serrano peppers, so it was nice and hot! We'll definitely be regulars at our new favorite place.
