About the Business

Specialties

Brother John's Beer, Bourbon & BBQ is a fun, family‐friendly and unique destination restaurant as the first Bavarian‐inspired beer garden, bourbon bar and barbecue concepts in Arizona. Customers receive a comfort food dining experience with a selection of true slow‐smoked meats, southern‐style sides with a southwestern kick, salads and desserts, all containing thoughtfully- and locally- sourced ingredients. In addition to offering classes, tastings and regular food and beverage parings, Brother John's also hosts a weekly live music series catering to all demographics.

History

Established in 2015.

While the restaurant has its own identity, elements of the well‐established iconic Wildcat House, which closed its doors in 2012, remain for nostalgic purposes. Brother John's is keeping the integrity of the history of the dance club build in 1977 while moving in a more mature direction. A complete re‐design, remodeling and build out included repurposing existing Wildcat House materials and incorporating into the barbecue theme. Brother John's welcomes the opportunity to participate in reviving downtown and desire to help with the revitalization of the surrounding Stone area. The restaurant hopes to serves as the catalyst to building up and vitalizing the neighborhood and corridor to downtown.
