“First time here and enjoyed the food and drinks! Sat at the bar and had great service. Beer on tap choices along with an extensive cocktail menu can confirm that the old-fashioned is the best in town! The tourist burger is highly recommended. Homemade bun with green chili cheese and crafted pickles. And the queso Blanco to dip the fries! My wife my had the fried shrimp tacos with refried fried black beans, pico, and Crema- chef kiss!
We will be back!“

“Legendary. Unforgettable. Pure Albuquerque Soul. The Craftroom Brewery isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s a sanctuary of flavor, community, and craft. The Staff? Absolute legends: warm, genuine, and always ready with a recommendation that hits the spot. The food? Outrageously good. From green chile-fired pizzas to sandwiches that make you rethink lunch forever, every bite is a masterpiece. But the real crown jewel? The cider. Bold, creative, and unapologetically New Mexican. Whether you're sipping on their signature OG Apple or diving into a rotating seasonal blend, every pour feels like a toast to local flavor and fearless innovation. This is where Albuquerque gathers, laughs, watches the match, and drinks in the good life. The Craftroom isn't just a brewery — it’s a legend in the making. 🍻 Come for the Games. Stay for the Cider. Return as a Legend. The Craftroom "Local Flavor. Legendary Vibes."“

“Bow and Arrow continues to be my favorite brewery. They have a wonderful beer hall with a relaxed environment, and consistently release an excellent lineup of beers in a variety of styles. Additionally, the staff have always been kind and approachable.“

“Best beers, spirits and let’s not even mention the food!!!!! LEGENDARY!!!! Joel and Chef Marc Q are UNSTOPPABLE!!!“

“Stopped in for the first time at this location and absolutely amazing. Staff was friendly and fast. Beer was tasty and the the sandwiches were top notch. I recommend the French Onion Grilled Cheese for sure! Thank you for a great experience.“

“Great products, fantastic staff. Confused as to why the tip app keeps changing percentages every other day. I love tipping 30%, the staff deserves it and I say let the cheapskate do their stingy math and make it easier for those of us who appreciate good service to tip accordingly.“

“The beer and atmosphere are amazing. Wait staff are kind and friendly!“

“SO happy to have our favorite beertender, Laurel, so close to us! Such a fun little spot to visit - great beer and cocktails and yummy food trucks. Definitely recommend visiting when Laurel is working - she makes you feel at home and like a regular (even if you're not! <3)“

“They were all super great! There was one lady who was drunk and making a scene throwing beer etc. they calmly walked her out and checked on everyone involved. Nicely done“

“Awesome environment! Very relaxing and chill! Great service every time! I recommend to my peeps!“

“Our waiter was very nice. He took the effort to make sure everything was good to our satisfaction. I did not eat my salad I ordered. He asked if for some reason I did not like the salad. It had nothing to do with my waiter or the restaurant. I did not know what kind of lettuce was used. I should have asked. I medically can not eat roman lettuce. Everything was wonderful. We were a little worried about getting in because of it being New Years eve. We did pick your restaurant for our New Years Eve dinner because we have always had such great service and food.“

“Good times , good jams!!!!“

“Harvest host excellent . Thank you“

“Good place after new ownership. New beer selection that have been better after new investor ownership. Still thinking it’s not quality beer kick other breweries but they are trying to get back to the top. The good location and good setup has ala ways been there for sure always.“

“TOP 10 BEST BREWERIES IN ALBUQUERQUE: #9: TRACTOR

My name is Matt, Albuquerque’s Brew Reviewer. I’ve tried over 200 local beers, and visited over 40 unique breweries in Albuquerque.

You haven’t tried Albuquerque cider unless you’ve gone to Tractor! Offering delicious, sweet, refreshing cider, canned or on draft, and a fun, large selection of beer, with a spacious, decorated, inviting atmosphere, Tractor is serious about brewing. Kind staff, some fun and unique beer flavors, and a great interior. They love to go all out for Halloween. It’s one of those breweries that’s great to go to with friends, because there’s spacious, comfortable booths. The only thing which holds Tractor back is the lack of food, but for a place to get drinks, especially with company, this is a premiere spot in the city to go, which is why it’s the ninth best brewery in Albuquerque.

“Fire drinks good food 😎🔥 highly recommended the vibes are here“

“Great food! Great beer! Great Service!“

“Bosque Brewery offers a solid experience, but it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The hummus platter was a highlight—tasty and well-portioned—while the beer selection was well-executed across the board. However, the atmosphere fell a bit flat. The staff wasn’t rude, but they also weren’t particularly engaging, which made the experience feel a little impersonal.

The building itself looks great from the outside, but inside, there were noticeable signs of lack of attention to upkeep. Given that Bosque has been around for a while and has multiple locations, I expected a bit more polish. Overall, it was a decent visit, but it didn’t quite leave the lasting impression I had hoped for.“

“Super relaxing environment, family friendly, great staff and super good beer rotations!

Dortmunder is awesome!

Literally moved to the Westside to be within walking distance of the taproom🤣

The Beertenders are a great source of local information for events, places to eat, and local happenings.“

“The food is always consistent and extremely tasteful! Can’t find anything in the menu that I wouldn’t recommend! Worth every penny! I would even be as bold to say it’s the best burger in town“

“First night of their new summer menu and Left Turn knocked it out of the park once again!!! Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!“

“The menu was diverse, the gumbo was excellent, enchiladas were fantastic and the cherry/peach cobbler was as good as my grandmother's. My waitress (Steph) was attentive and informative about the menu and beer selections. Great dinner, great service and I will definitely be going back soon.“
