The Main Ingredient Ale House

Owner Matt Diamond might’ve honed his chops at some of the Valley’s best wine bars, but he and his wife Courtney decided to call their restaurant an “ale house” instead, offering five AZ craft brews among the eight on tap, along with 20 bottles and cans. There’s still wine, of course, as well as a […]
