Pinetop Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 3.8 (709) • $$

"Quite possible the best bite in the white mountains. I went to pinetop brewing for the first time with a large group this week. The service was great but the food was the true star. For a brewery the cocktails were not second fiddle the blueberry gin spritzer was an absolute delight. We ordered about half the appetizers on the menu and they were all amazing. But most importantly for me, they had no shortage of gluten free options. I got their Mediterranean pizza with hot honey and it was one of if not the best GF pizza I've ever had. It was absolutely a hot mess, maybe not a great first date food, but I downed that pizza like I hadn't eaten in weeks it was so delicious. I couldn't recommend Pinetop Brewing more if you're in the area or even if you're not, it's with the trip."

La Reforma Brewery

★★★★★ 4.6 (463) • $$

"Overall: La Reforma is the perfect spot if you want decent Mexican food and tasty drinks. It's not the most authentic, but they do a good job of making an enjoyable meal.Food: 4Carne Asada Fries: The fries were crispy and I liked the toppings (shredded cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole). I wish there was more guacamole and the carne asada was better seasoned, but I would definitely eat this here again.Carne Asada Torta: The telera bread wasn't the best that I've had and I wish it was more toasted. Again, I wish the meat was better seasoned. Overall, it was an okay torta but a little bland.El Tri: This watermelon cocktail was recommended by the waiter when asked for a sweeter drink. It definitely meets the criteria. It wasn't too sweet and had a hint of acidity and freshness.Service: 5Our server was fantastic. He was patient with our questions and requests.Ambiance: 5This brewery is in an unassuming plaza with lots of parking. There is lots of seating including at the bar, dining tables, or high tops."

Canteen Brewhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (258) • $$

"Admittedly, this rating is biased.I have had many different beers at Canteen Brewhouse. They range from okay to absolutely fantastic! One of my favorites is their citrus wheat, which I believe is only available during the summer. The orange flavor was balanced nicely with the hops and barley.The food can be hit or miss. I have ordered the pretzel on separate occasions. While the pretzel came out PERFECT the second and third time I ordered it, the first time it came out dry and hard.Of the sandwiches they have, I recommend the Pigmac. The pork is cooked nice and tender, and there is more flavorful juices than Tropicana inside. You need hefty bread for it not to get soggy! I have also had the cubano, which is decent at best, and the Frenchie, which is quite good.I'd give Canteen 4.5 stars, but they earned 5. Why? It is the first place where I actually had a good IPA. Rare!"

Lino's Trattoria and Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4 (257) • $$

"Absolutely fabulous restaurant in so many ways. Food was outstanding. We actually were looking for a different restaurant but due to construction and bad GPS directions we ended up here on our first night in town. The food was amazing and during a week long trip we ate here 4 times. Try it, you'll like it."

Ponderosa Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.6 (293) • $$

"This place is tucked away from the Sawmill market and the NM history museum. I'm not much for the brewery part but, I was interested in the food and atmosphere. The waitress was nice, I was with a group and she was good at getting everyones food and drink orders correct, As well as, when giving the bill she was very good at remembering who ordered what. There was a small issue with one of the ladies who ordered a side and being charged extra amount. I felt the waitress handled it well, although, she could of told the lady there would be an extra charge for the side as a courtesy when she ordered even though it says it on the menu. Which is the reason for the 4/5 stars. The food coming after order was timely, didn't seem too long. I ordered the pulled pork bbq sandwich with coleslaw and beans. The sandwich was good. Sauce was sweet not tangy and the coleslaw was tasty and crunchy. Good size portions for the price. I had water which was set up as get your own which was nice. It was a clean and spacious, lighting was good, music was at a good volume, and right when I was about to leave looked like they hired a DJ for the rest of the night. It's a nice place to go for a end of the week drink food night. I would go back to try some more on the menu."

Chili Line Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (166) • $$

"On a recent day trip to Santa Fe we were looking (like we always do) for a local brewery. It's kinda my thing. The wife found Chili Line and *whoosh* off we went.Chili Line is a small place, but very cozy. It occupies an unassuming spot along the road right next door to Lino's Trattoria & Pizzeria.We were just there for the beer so we sat in the bar. It's tiny, with only two tables, and a few stools at the bar. Jessica was our server so she directed us to the online beer menu. I ordered a flight of 4 beer (with the help of Congo), and they were all REALLY good.One of the things I absolutely LOVED about Chili Line was that smoked beers. I love a good smoked beer, be it an ale, stout, or lager. There's something about a smoke brew that is unique and makes it stand out from other beer. Chili Line is a CLEAR standout when it comes to smoked brews, and definitely The Best I've had.Jessica was awesome. She didn't mind engaging in conversation and helping us make beer choices. We also swapped a few tattoo stories (which is awesome) and helped me decide which merchandise to purchase.It was a short visit (maybe an hour), but it was great. Chili Line is a very cozy, relaxed place. Some breweries go for the hype, but not here. Just a quiet place to hang out and drink some excellent smoked brews.I'll be back. You've been warned."

Bosque North

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (287) • $$

"We were greeted warmly when we came in and seated quickly.It's an interesting restaurant brewing pub with vibes of a sports bar interesting bar food. There are at least two that I know of.They have a nice patio area and they can accommodate family and other groups outside or inside.Of course they also offer their own beers and have a moderate variety that changes they definitely are proudly New Mexicanin style. It's not about just food and drink It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The staff did a great job. The other thing is it's very loud inside but fairly quiet outside. There were all kinds of appetizers we shared blistered shishito peppers, nachos and chicken wings Everyone enjoyed them all and surprisingly the kids loved the shishido peppers. A couple people shared a regular burger and a pulled pork sandwich too. It was a good experience but I would sit outside if you can and the weather permits."

Canteen Taproom

"When I used to drink beer this place was a nice place to meet up with friends or have a quick bite with my wife. The parking can be challenging but the food and awesome brews are worth a short hike."

Bosque Brewing - Cottonwood Public House

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (17) • $$

"Jordan was our professional, charming server! I ordered Chuck's excellent green chili chicken soup, the chicken and Andouille sausage jambalaya. I LOVE the soup! The jambalaya is pretty special. The serving size is generous and I had to get a to go box for about half of it. We'll be back because there are still so many things on the menu that we would like to try."

Red Door Brewing Company

"This a a great place to grab a drink with friends. There is plenty of room and the options are great. There is nothing that would make this better than other places nearby."

Nexus Brewery and Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Another great dining experience at Nexus Brewery. We stopped in for a late lunch and had a lovely time. We also found out that we aren't the only Santa Feans that make a pilgrimage to Nexus when we visit ABQ. Overheard another customer telling our waiter that she stops in to dine and take some food home to Santa Fe, too.I usually try to work my way through a good menu, but after I had the chicken dinner with mashed potatoes/gravy and collard greens, I have stopped. I tell myself I'm gonna try the catfish. Then the chicken dinner just comes out of my mouth when the server asks my order. All three elements are exceptional. Chicken is crispy, potatoes are creamy, and the collards are perfectly seasoned and delicious. I took half of my meal home to enjoy for supper. My husband was smart. He had the chicken and waffles in the restaurant and ordered gumbo/shrimp and red beans/rice to take home for later. Wish I had done that with the catfish!We also brought an order of grilled fish tacos home for our daughter. That's her favorite Nexus offering. She enjoyed every morsel.Our waiter was helpful, attentive, and timed our to-go items perfectly. You can count on us to always come back to enjoy some home cooking at Nexus. But please, please consider opening a new location up the hill, too!"
