Tempe's Self-Pour Beer Wall: 42 Taps at Tempe Eats
Self-pour beer technology has been growing across the country, but Tempe has its own standout destination: the Outlaw Beer wall at Tempe Eats Food Hall. With 42 taps of craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, tap cocktails, and margaritas, it's the most extensive self-pour experience in the area — and one of the coolest ways to drink in the entire East Valley.
The concept is simple and genuinely fun: you're handed a card linked to your tab, you walk up to any tap, you pour what you want, and you're charged by the ounce. Want to try four different beers in one sitting without committing to four full pints? Pour two ounces of each. Prefer a full glass of exactly one thing? Pour your pint and walk away. The wall exists to put you in control.
What's on the Outlaw Beer Wall
The 42-tap Outlaw Beer wall at Tempe Eats rotates its selection regularly, keeping things fresh for regulars. You'll typically find a range of craft beers — IPAs, lagers, stouts, ambers — alongside hard seltzers for lighter drinkers, hard ciders, margaritas on tap, and cocktails. The range is deliberately wide: whatever your preference, there's something worth pouring.
The margarita on tap is a particular crowd-pleaser, especially during happy hour when it drops to $3. Tap cocktails hit $6 during happy hour hours. House beers are $3. For a bar experience in Tempe, those prices are hard to beat.
How the Self-Pour System Works
If it's your first time at a self-pour wall, the process takes about 30 seconds to learn. Check in at the bar or host station to get your RFID card set up. Walk to any tap you want. Tap your card on the reader — it unlocks instantly. Pour what you like. The system tracks your pour in ounces and adds it to your tab. Close out when you're ready. That's the whole process.
The ounce-based billing means you're never paying for more than you drink, and you're never locked into a choice before you've tasted it. It rewards adventurous drinkers and respects cautious ones. Learn more about the self-pour experience at Tempe Eats →
