“We were visiting Ruidoso, New Mexico, and decided to stop by Lost Hiker Brewing for a quick drink—and we’re so glad we did! The atmosphere was fun and laid-back, and the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

They let us sample several of their beers and ciders, and we were really impressed with the variety and quality. Everything we tried was delicious—we had a hard time picking a favorite! This is definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy some unique, locally crafted drinks.

They also have some great merchandise like shirts and caps, and the owner was kind enough to give us some complimentary stickers, which was such a nice touch.

We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in town. Whether you're a craft beer lover or just looking for a chill place with great vibes, Lost Hiker Brewing is a must-visit in Ruidoso!”

“This is a nice little bar owned by pleasant people. Lots of personality in the art and aesthetic. They have wine supplied by St Claire and we got a bottle it was so good. They may have food options but you really go for the drinks and atmosphere”

“We had a large party that came in at 8:45 to celebrate a birthday and waited to be sat for a bit. May Lucero was our waitress and she was and always is awesome. Where most servers get annoyed at serving a large party so late in the evening, she served us with a smile and did a fabulous job! Servers should learn from her! We had a great evening because of her and she took great care of us.”
