Downtown Chandler's Memorable Murals

    If you have ever been to Downtown Chandler before you have probably noticed the numerous different murals that are scattered throughout the town. It is hard not to notice these astounding and bright paintings that are usually located on walls outside restaurants and shops. These murals found in Downtown Chandler give great character and charm to the town and make it memorable for visitors. Most of the murals around Downtown Chandler include elements specific to Chandler such as cacti, the Arizona state flag, and Saguaros, which is Arizona’s state flower.  

The first mural pictured is located right outside of SanTan Brewery. The mural resembles the inside of the Brewery by having a painting of the big grey beer towers that are located inside the restaurant.  ​The San Marcos hotel which is located right in the heart of Downtown Chandler is featured in this mural as well. The cacti, palm trees, and mountains in the back illustrate the beautiful nature apart of Chandler and encapsulates the city as a whole.    

Another notable mural in Downtown Chandler consists of floral patterns with the famous phrase "We're Not In Kanas Anymore Toto". This quote reflects how Chandler is blossoming into a highly populated city and becoming increasingly popular. Chandler isn't the small farm town it once was. 

This vibrant mural is located on the wall right behind the family owned Serrano's Mexican Food restaurant. The mural painted on Serrano’s back wall represents the family’s core values of faith, family, and food. The Serrano’s family first opened a store in Downtown Chandler over 90 years ago. In 1930 the family decided to move out of the retail business and start their own restaurant. Serranos restaurants first opened right here in Downtown Chandler. The remarkable restaurant is still up and running in Downtown Chandler 45 years later.  Now the family owned restaurant has several different locations throughout the valley. 

Chandler themed mural located right outside of the Darwin Wall team's office! The Darwin Wall team has many chandler native members and this mural reflects the team's strong sense of pride they have for their city.
