Grand Canyon Brewing + Distillery

Grand Canyon Brewing + Distillery sits in a timber-clad building in downtown Williams, and it pulls double duty as both a working brewery and a distillery, with a gift shop up front and a patio out back. With a 4.0 rating from over 1,200 Google reviews, it's one of the more consistently well-reviewed stops on the Route 66 strip.

Food and drink

The menu runs pub-standard — burgers, fries, pizza, calzones — with reviewers singling out the Indian fry bread taco and a meat lovers calzone described as crunchy outside, soft and flavorful inside. Beyond the beer, the distillery side has its own following: reviewers who've toured dozens of distilleries nationwide rank the cocktail flights and blue corn bourbon among the best they've had, and the tasting menu includes flights of both aged spirits and mixed cocktails.

Good to know
