I always come here with my sister who lives in SF, the food is always good and down home feel too it, not too foo foo for my blue collar background. Very laid back and the beers are smooth and taste good. Out of the searing hot touristy plaza its out of the way and quiet, worth the drive on the backstreets to go visit and relax.

A biggish place, open but with a bar area at the back. Kind of insular, cause it’s Santa Fe. The service is usually ok if you engage them. The beers are from the 1990s - not terribly exciting. But they seem to brew darker stuff pretty well, like the cream stout, the scotch ale and the smoked imperial porter. They rotate beers a lot and have three new seasonals each month, usually with a theme. The food isn’t bad. The happy hour is solid, and is every single day from 4-6:30. There are often bands, but they are never loud. You can get here on the bike path that runs along the railway tracks, a big plus.

We are living a 10 min walk from here, or 3 minute bike ride so are turning it into our local. The location is very good--right on the main bike path in Santa Fe. It’s not necessarily a "where everybody knows your name" kind of place, and ppl can even seem a bit cold, but it’s friendly enough. There is a fairly long bar. Some of the servers are a little clueless about the beers. The beers are good in general. Some are very good, like the imperial smoked porter. I’d say their strong points are bitters, pale ales, and anything requiring solid malt character. Except the rauchbier, that one is disappointing. This location is very big, and often there are families there but not in a bad way. They accomodate live music often too. They have a large outdoor patio. Have never needed to eat here except some chips and salsa, seems a rather boring menu but I’m sure the food is fine.

Beer, as at the downtown location is stellar across the 8 taps, which makes the 8 taps plenty. This location seemed to have fewer interesting food items in my eyes, but now perusing the two online, they seem to simply be different, not necessarily more or less interesting, so make your own choice! Delicious of course either way. Probably nicer outdoor seating here, but I preferred the vibe of the service and the interior architectural concerns of the Railyard. Again, who really cares, both locations are great and there’s nothing to be disappointed about at either.

A nice, chill brewpub in Santa Fe. There is a fair amount of indoor seating, but everyone was sitting outside on the shaded patio on a Thursday afternoon/early evening. There was also a small band playing some country rock-ish type music as well. They had about 8 beers on tap, including 2 of their IPA series. I got a chicken caesar salad which was very good with tons of chicken in it. Great atmosphere here - if you’re looking for outdoor seating I’d prefer this location over the Railyard (but for indoor seating I’d pick the Railyard). Otherwise, everything else is pretty much the same between both sites- great food, great beer, good times.

This place is the bomb...awesome beer, great food (try to the london broil), and a laid back atmosphere that is always crowded towards the weekend nights. Often they have live music performances.

Clean and family-friendly but not too bright to be off-putting. Good selection of well-made house beers.

A laid back brew pub that you can usually find full of locals. There is a different beer on tap every week and they seem to like to try new things. Service can be poor to exceptional depending on what server you get and it is seat yourself except on really busy days. They also don’t bottle there beer so if you want to try it you have to stop in. Good place to grab a pitcher and something tasty to eat.

Stopped in here for lunch - probably my favorite place in town - large pub interior with your typical southwestern decor - they were playing jazz during my visit, which earned them points - food was decent, with your average New Mexico menu items (chipotle this, and blue corn that) - our server was a little strange, and slightly pretentious, but quite attentive - tried three of the five beers available, and all of them were solid - the limited selection was a little lame, but otherwise, coming here was a great experience (if you don’t count the difficulty finding parking).

An okay little joint with far too small a menu most months. During December their menu becomes gigantic and they have some truly incredible brews, but a lot of the time this simply isn’t the case. Ambiance is nice. People keep their conversations down so the entire place has but a low murmur instead of being so loud like a more commercial bar. The food is decent, but definitely standard tourist faire. Chile isn’t hot enough, some stuff is overseasoned. It’s an okay place and I’d recommend it to just about anyone, but I don’t head over there too much.
