Downshift Brewing: Outpost 1706

Rented an Airbnb within walking distance to Old Town to explore the shops and atmosphere! We ended up here pretty quickly after arriving and came back a second time later in the week!We were mostly interested in trying the Raspberry Wheat as we have a similar one near our hometown in Minneapolis that we LOVE! This one was equally delicious and could compete!They have a cool wrap around deck outside. We went in February, but as Minnesotans we chose to stand outside at a table!

Love the modern sleek decor! We walked in and the place, ambiance and the staff was so inviting. We ordered our cocktail at the bar and took in the view of the beautiful church. I had the maple old fashioned which had a nice spicy note to it combined with a sweet smoky maple flavor. We came by on a Sunday afternoon and they had a live band playing country music. That was unexpected and enjoyable! I loved it and can't wait to come back.

Great place to relax and take a break from shopping in Old Town.Downshift has tasty and refreshing beers, and fantastic folks serving it. We really enjoyed the beers and the vibe here. Service was fantastic.

A cozy bar in old town that is open late by local standards. The bar has board games if you want to indulge in it. Over all a nice ambience to relax.

Trendy, hipster beer joint in old Town Albuquerque. Worth visiting because of the variety of types and styles of beer. A good place to sit and people watch for tourists and local alike

So happy to visit downshift again. i've been here 3 times and this time with a live band. What a great time! I had the pickletini which is a fun addition and a must try for pickle lovers!

This is hands down my favorite brewery and cocktail bar in Albuquerque. I absolutely love the location because Old Town is my favorite place in the entire city. It's absolutely beautiful and I love that you can sit on the balcony patio and get great views of the plaza. The service is always good and friendly. I love that they change the menu around during the different seasons. I also love that they host trivia night.

Great little place to get out of the heat. Great service, very comfortable atmosphere, and a good selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend as a place to go while the wife/wives are shopping!!!

Cute spot to get a drink in Old Town after shopping. Has very limited food options so if you're hungry would suggest otherwise. I had the blackberry sour and my mom had Tamarindo Margarita which were ok and overpriced. There was live music playing which was nice and plenty of seating.

Always passed by this place during the day, but never checked it out. We happened to be in old town on a Friday night and you could hear the music coming from inside this spot. We walked in and the place was packed. We had a blast! The beers were delicious, the live music was fantastic, and the service was very friendly. Plenty of seating and people willing to share their tables. During the day it seems like a tourist hangout, but at night the crowd seemed very mixed with some regulars.
