State 48 Brewery expanded their restaurant/brewery concept to downtown Phoenix and needed a 8,500+ SF tenant improvement at the historic Welnick Arcade Market and Liefgreen Seed Company building. They wanted a truly urban space that reflected the downtown and city life where people could meet for locally brewed beer and a great meal.

AFT repurposed and refurbished space in a historic building and created a lively, urban, and unique brewery restaurant for State 48 Brewery to serve Downtown Phoenix.

Bar

The heart of the restaurant features a large U-shaped bar that offers plenty of seating and is home to 60 beer taps.
