A new food hall in metro Phoenix: Your guide to every restaurant and bar at Tempe Eats
A new food hall is now open in Tempe. It features eight eateries and two bars under a shared roof. Teresa Nguyen is the mind behind Tempe Eats and all the restaurants. She was inspired by her travels in over 70 countries, especially by German beer halls, high-tech Japanese eateries and European communal dining spaces.
In Tempe, the space includes a family-friendly main food court, a beer garden on the main patio, a sports bar-esque main bar, a more low-key second patio and a tropical-themed, TV-free wine bar.
Her goal is to allow guests to try a mix of globally-inspired dishes and drinks with options for all palates so friends and family can dine together even if they have different tastes, she said in a release. The food hall uses an online ordering system that allows guests to order dishes from multiple restaurants at once and have them all delivered and billed to one table.
Here's a guide to all the restaurants in Tempe Eats.

Craft U has 36 beers on tap, many of them local, including selections from Huss Brewing Co., Four Peaks and PHX Beer Co. They also serve a few wines and cocktails.
