The Perch Breaks Ground in Queen Creek, AZ

Big things are brewing in Queen Creek. The Perch, a popular brewery and restaurant based in Chandler, has officially broken ground on a brand-new location in downtown Queen Creek. This project is part of the town’s growing revitalization efforts and is expected to become a major destination when it opens in Fall 2026.

A New Destination in Downtown QC

The new Perch development isn’t just another restaurant. Plans call for a three-story, 16,000-square-foot brewery and restaurant that will anchor a 3.8-acre site on Munoz Street between Old Ellsworth Road and Ellsworth Loop. In addition to the core brewery and pub, the project could expand to as much as 30,000 square feet of total dining and retail space. The design may even include a rooftop bar and special event spaces, making it a true hub for food, drinks, and entertainment.

Construction Timeline

Groundbreaking took place in early September 2025, kicking off what is expected to be an 11-month construction timeline. The Perch’s Queen Creek location is anticipated to open its doors in Fall 2026, giving residents and visitors something big to look forward to in the heart of town.

Part of a Larger Vision for Downtown

The brewery is one piece of Queen Creek’s broader downtown revitalization. The town has been investing heavily in infrastructure upgrades, new parking solutions, and streetscape improvements to make the area more walkable and inviting. With shade structures, improved lighting, and additional public amenities underway, downtown QC is transforming into a true community gathering spot.

The Perch fits right into this vision. By combining local craft beer with dining and entertainment, it will give residents a unique, locally owned option—something that many in the community have been asking for as an alternative to more national chains.

Why It Matters

When The Perch opens in Fall 2026, it won’t just be another restaurant—it will be a catalyst for downtown Queen Creek. Expect it to host everything from casual dinners to live events, with the potential to attract visitors from across the East Valley. Its success could pave the way for more unique retail, dining, and cultural options, helping Queen Creek build its identity as more than just a growing suburb.

The Bottom Line

The Perch’s expansion into Queen Creek is a big win for the community. With its size, scope, and timing, the brewery is poised to become a central gathering place and a key anchor in the ongoing revitalization of downtown. From craft beer to rooftop views, Queen Creek residents can look forward to raising a glass to this exciting new addition in just about a year.
