Tipsy Cactus owners to launch small-plates restaurant in east Mesa

Sean Hayes and Jo Ann Franko, the couple that owns 2-year-old Tipsy Cactus TapRoom & Bottle Shop in southwest Mesa, are launching a small-plates restaurant in east Mesa next month.

Share Craft Kitchen & Bar will be located in the Safeway plaza on the northeast corner of Val Vista and Southern.

Hayes and Franko are partnering with Taste of New Mexico food truck chef Gabe Madrid, who will create a menu of shareable New American dishes.

The bar will offer craft cocktails and a dozen beers on tap.

Share Craft Kitchen & Bar is expected to open in early June.
