Expansive selection of drinks both on tap and bottled. The owners are always friendly and provide great service whether staying in to have a drink or grabbing something to go. The location is always clean. They have a selection of games as well, which is a nice touch for a casual afternoon or evening out for a drink.
Chris the bartender was very helpful with his knowledge of craft beers, and he was good looking
Didn't get good there but I had a good time with a few friend only very minor issue we had is my wife wanted to play music we payed for the music but we could hardly hear it. Other than that it is a great place to have some drinks and hang out with friedns.
Cat Wagon is such an awesome addition to the area! They have an expansive selection of both draft and bottled/can beer. I love that it's so close to the river and Canyon, I plan on stopping here after every kayak trip or river float. If you haven't been and you live in the area check them out!
Fantastic beer selection with wine and ciders also available. Super knowledgeable staff for this little spot and great recommendations. There's no food (aside from little bags of chips) and I wouldn't recommend the pizza place next door, so maybe eat before you come. Really fun and low key spot!

If you like craft beer, Cat Wagon is the PERFECT place. Plenty of local beer options. Choose from draft or pick something from the coolers. Lots of tables and a spacious bar. Definitely a great addition to the Apache Trail main street. No food, but you are welcome to bring in something to eat. We will be back!
Great selection of draft beers, and over one hundred craft beers for sale. There is a good variety of wines. Beer and wine can also be purchased to go. This is the cleanest taphouse I have ever seen. It has a great atmosphere and friendly service and caters to a variety of local patrons.
