I really want to support new breweries. I spend a lot of time and money at San Tan, Wilderness, and 4 Peaks. I was excited to try out The Perch. The excitement did not last. I had one beer (4 Peaks Hop Knot) and left. \n\nThe music sucks. If I want to hear Margaritaville and easy listening classics I'll go on a 55+ cruise. This alone was enough to drive me out. \n\nThe brewery itself is decent, but it's in the ghetto and surrounded by trash. The appeal of sitting on the 2nd story balcony is lost when you are looking down on piles of garbage. \n\nWhile looking at the large cockatoo on the first floor, I was told by a staff member that the bird is 'a vicious animal, a face biter and he will tear your fingers right off'. Doesn't seem like the best idea to have this bird in the middle of a bar, in a cage with large openings, but what do I know. \n\nThe seating on the upper level is from an old nightclub. I remember seeing it for sale on Craigslist. It is completely out of place and uncomfortable.
