Canteen Brewhouse

Amazing little spot. Too bad it was the end of our evening so I could only try one of their brews. They have so many choices! On night of my visit they had live music too. We also got a pretzel and it was tasty and hit the spot. They have a book exchange too!

First time visit to Canteen Brewhouse. I was invited to come after the 5K race my BIL was in. I arrived as soon as they opened. They were still setting up, but we were allowed to seat wherever, so I chose a round table in the corner, closest to the restrooms. A kind server took my order and explained a few things. She gave the kids paper and crayons to entertain themselves. She suggested the Housemade Root Beer 16oz vs 20oz since you get a Free refill, so I ordered that. I also ordered the German Pretzel with fondue (but they were out), so it came with ranch and spicy mustard, and the Cubano Sandwich. I received my root beer right away, and waited about 10 min for the pretzel. Then, rest of my party joined us. I waited about 30 min before asking about the Cubano Sandwich, in which another server said that they were pretty backed up, showing us the long tickets. We were also next to the food export station. So, I had been eyeing it for awhile. I tried to give them benefit of the doubt, but I can tell that my ticket was misplaced bc as it started getting busier, everyone else was getting their food and drink orders already. Finally, after an hour, I spoke up, and that server said that it could've gotten lost, and that she'll get it out ASAP. Thankfully, another server started to take the rest of the party's orders, so I added a Green Chile Hummus with tortilla chips, thinking that it would arrive sooner. Eventually, after everyone got their food, my Cubano Sandwich and Hummus arrived at separate times. The Sandwich was hot and the cheese was stretchy at least. It got really chaotic as time progressed bc majority of customers were the racers. So, I understand the service was trying their best without a kitchen and just a bar. I got my root beer refill and asked if I could get another To-Go, which was supposed to be an extra charge. I waited as long as I could before we had to leave. The server had forgotten, and was nowhere to be found. But before I left, I went to the restroom. When I came out, the first server I had was apologetic and gave me the root beer To-Go, and said that there was no charge. I knew already bc I had already paid my tab. That was nice of her, but had I not gone to the restroom, I wouldn't have known. LolI think the servers share/pool tips bc at least 4 ppl helped get our orders, dropped off orders, and helped distribute our tabs, which we pay on the spot with their portable handheld device. Everything was digital, and you can text your receipt to you, which was so convenient. Overall, I enjoyed the company and the food and drink. The ambiance was a little chaotic, but they conveniently have stations where you can grab your own To-Go containers, condiments like ketchup and mustard (maybe bc we were so close to the server/ food export station), and water stations. I really liked the Root Beer, though tasted a little flat, the flavor is great. The Pretzel was served warm, and was sad about the lack of cheese sauce, Spicy mustard was actually really spicy like wasabi (spice went up my nose), so I had to dip it lightly, and the ranch was just ranch. Cubano was salty, by great with the chips. But FYI, I should have looked at the online photos bc I thought it would look like a real Cuban Sandwich (which in hindsight looked like the Turkey Sandwich that was panini pressed). Hindsight, I wished I had ordered that. The Hummus was tasty with a kick, but I was full by that point. I would recommend bc their drinks look legit, and their hot food isn't bad.

First off, we love brewery pretzels, haha. Their pretzels are huge. The patio area is nice (we didn't sit outside since it was hot + a long day of hiking we needed the AC). It's nice they have covers to keep you cool from the sun, though. It's a nice spot and a highlight towards the end of our trip. There's a nice selection of beer, and their service was good.

Had a great time here! Went for the monthly Girls on the Run 5k, stayed after for a drink. Really great dog friendly patio. My pup loved hanging out and I loved that they had three flavors of kombucha from NM Ferments!

Love the offbeat vibe and location of this place. Great service. Live music on Sundays 4-7!! Great Frito Pie.

On a road trip and stopped by for some refreshment. Great German style beer and great Cuban! Even though it was very hot outside the patio was still breezy and comfortable. Loved the Helles!

Canteen is always a great spot to have a beer and grab a light bite. They are one of the most community involved breweries. The staff is always friendly, they allow pets, have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of shade, plenty of heat warmers and plenty of parking.

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!

I came to Canteen for Brain Gang Trivia a couple of weeks ago and have returned twice since then. Good food, great beer, and a pleasant atmosphere make it enjoyable.So far I've tried their porter and the blackberry lime wheat beer, both really tasty. Tonight I'm enjoying A Work of Heart chocolate milk stout - delicious!Canteen also offers going sandwiches. Last time I had the Frenchy (pork loin, Brie, caramelized onions) and tonight is the Pigmac - pulled pork, bbq sauce, Cheddar, and green chile slaw. So good!

The beer was fine, the food was fine. Great patio.We came here for dinner due to the suggestion of a friend of my parents' while we were in town. He chose this spot because it is dog friendly and he wanted to bring his pup with him. The weather was good, so doggos and outdoor seating were welcome. It is situated in a heavily commercial/industrial area which is a little strange, but allows for a bigger and dedicated parking lot. And they have done some things to make the patio inviting rather than just 'outside in a warehouse district' kind of thing.Everything during our visit here was...fine. Nothing really sticks in my mind as particularly good or bad. The beer wasn't really my style, but was drinkable for my palate. We all shared the German Pretzel with cheese fondue and mustard. It was tasty. They were out of or unable to make the sandwiches a couple of us were initially interested in (2 different offerings). If I recall, we were interested in the french onion offerings (a Frenchy sandwich and a French Onion swanky grilled cheese) and they couldn't be made on that day. So I settled for a Cuban. Which was fine, but not what I wanted. It was a generous size and half of it easily became leftovers.I don't know if I would come back here without someone else having a burning desire to visit this location. But I also wouldn't fight against it.You'll likely have a good time here, and leave beer-ed and fed if those are things you are ingesting.
