We had dinner and drinks here recently. I’d seen it recommended somewhere. This was a great choice!

First off, while the building is kind of tucked away among some warehouses and workshops, the facility is very inviting and spacious. We loved the patio (despite a couple pesky mosquitos), and the indoor looked great, too. The patio was where it was happening, though, so we were glad to be out there.

Service was outstanding. We were greeted quickly and given waters before we even looked at the menu. Our guy was super attentive the whole time, and friendly to boot.

Drinks were tasty, as is to be expected. Loved the selection of pilseners on that night. Food was excellent, way above what you’d expect from a tap room. We shared a green chile Philly cheese steak and nachos.

A great experience overall. I’d highly recommend it. If I were a local, I’d be a regular.

I was here a year ago, visiting from Vancouver Island, and I am *still* thinking about The Original Alien Burger. Possibly the best burger of my life. The pretzel and beer cheese was exceptional as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the beers, especially the Helles. Visited twice during my stay in Santa Fe, and can't wait to return some day.

Now THIS is a good pour of beer! (See my review of nearby Buffalo Wild Wings last night with the massive head). This was my second beer, a pilsner.  The first was a very tasty IPA and was an even fuller glass of beer! If you want real beer stop by this place!

Everything about our visit was just great!  We were seated quickly on a pretty busy Thurs night.  The beer options on draft gave us everything  we needed  including an imperial  stout.  Service was excellent.
Other reviews highlight  the Alien burger - it is a must do!  Be sure to get the sweet potato waffle fries for the side, and ask for some chipotle mayo for dipping.  Ketchup just doesn't  do it!

We were a bit shocked at how long it took someone to take our order, we even started to question whether we were supposed to order before sitting down. The wait staff was friendly, but not super attentive. We had the potato skins w/ bacon to start, I had the enchiladas with Christmas and my partner had the build your own burger with tots. I asked for no pico de gallo on my enchiladas and they forgot, not a huge deal, but definitely annoying. Everything else on the enchiladas was good, except I found the red chile to be pretty bland. My partner really enjoyed her burger, it was cooked well and the tots were nice and crispy. Our experience was overall good, just not great. While we were eating, we noticed the table we sat at had ridges that allowed a lot of food/waste to get through, which wasn’t really pleasant to look at while you eat. I think we’d come back to try some different dishes!
