The Whining Pig beer & wine bar to open 5th Valley location May 17 in Ahwatukee

The Whining Pig, a local craft beer and wine bar concept known for its inexpensive prices, no-frills decor, and laid-back atmosphere, opens its fifth Valley location at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 17, in Ahwatukee.

It’s located on the northwest corner of I-10 and Ray between Honey Baked Ham and Native Grill & Wings in the small strip mall next to JC Penney.

The pint-sized but popular neighborhood hangouts (Gilbert location pictured below) offer a limited menu of five different grilled cheese sandwiches, a meat and cheese plate, and brownies.

A grand opening celebration is planned for June 2.
