The Main Ingredient Welcomes New Outdoor Bar

March 24, 2025

An Arizona Gem with a Brand New Patio Bar

Nestled in the heart of the Coronado Historic Neighborhood, The Main Ingredient Ale House & Café has long been a local favorite, known for its relaxed atmosphere, delicious sandwiches and salads, and an outstanding selection of craft beers and cocktails. Now, there’s even more to love—their brand-new patio bar has officially opened, making this beloved spot an even better place to gather and unwind.


A Grand Opening to Remember

The grand opening of the new patio bar was a celebration of community and great food. The event was nothing short of spectacular, with special appearances from Phoenix Mayor, Kate Gallego and Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, highlighting just how integral The Main Ingredient is to the local culture. The upgraded outdoor space provides a new reason to enjoy delicious bites, refreshing drinks, and lively conversations under the Arizona sky.


A Neighborhood Staple with Character

Set in a charming brick house built in 1922, The Main Ingredient seamlessly blends historic charm with a welcoming, laid-back ambiance. Original wood floors, a scratch kitchen, and an expansive patio create an inviting space where locals and visitors alike can enjoy thoughtfully prepared meals and drinks. Dog-friendly and community-driven, this is a place that truly embodies the spirit of Coronado.


Exceptional Eats & Drinks

At The Main Ingredient, every dish is made to order using fresh, local ingredients. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, a fresh salad, or something unique, the menu offers something for everyone. I had to give their TMI Cuban Torta a try and it hit the spot. Of course you also have to pair your meal with a selection from their unbeatable craft beer and cocktail list. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest beer drinker, but as a foodie I am always expanding my palette. I decided to try The Main, and I won't lie, it was really good. Crisp and light, it was the perfect choice for the warmer weather too. Their focus on quality and creativity shines through in every sip, making it a go-to spot.


Third Saturday Feasts & Community Events

One of the things that sets The Main Ingredient apart is their dedication to bringing people together. Every third Saturday of the month, they team up with an independent brewery to host a massive feast featuring a one-of-a-kind menu. It’s an experience that combines incredible food, expertly paired drinks, and a vibrant, communal atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.


Visit The Main Ingredient

Whether you’re stopping by for a laid-back lunch, happy hour with friends, or one of their signature community events, The Main Ingredient offers an unbeatable combination of great food, amazing drinks, and a welcoming environment. And now, with the addition of their new patio bar, there’s even more reason to pull up a seat and stay awhile.
