The Phoenix location of SanTan Brewing Company has closed.
Located on Bethany Home Road just west of 16th Street, the pub was an outpost of SanTan s main brewery and restaurant in downtown Chandler.
Along with the main pub in Chandler, the parent company SanTan Brewing + Distilling runs a neighboring cocktail bar called Spirit House and a production facility that includes a tasting room a few miles away. A statement from the company and owner Anthony Canecchia said the plans for SanTan are to focus more on the East Valley. We therefore made the difficult decision to close our Uptown Brewpub located on Bethany Home Road, the statement read, ending with We’re grateful for the tremendous support of SanTan fans.
