“We saw The Doso Dirtbags Band in Roswell. Had a great time watching them, chatted with them during their set and they invited us to go to Ruidoso for the 5th anniversary of the Lost Hiker. Sounded like a great idea. Drove out had some good Mexican out of the food truck and some great beers while listening to the band hanging out with the locals. Such a great little brewery. Highly recommended.”

“It was a fairly good spot. We were going to hit up the Dennys next door. Which despite the 24 hr sign. Was closing. Im glad because it seemed unpleasant. We went to Los Victor's and ate a big meal. My only gripe was a few spots of tortillas were soggy with grease. Overall, it was pretty good.”

What a cute place, the food was delicious we had, barbecue, burger, stew, panini, salads, and a delicious cup of hot chocolate to finish. The music was great classic rock, we loved the outdoor fire pit. Great experience from 5 appreciative Texans in town for vacation.”

“Honestly, I loved the vibe and people more than the beer or food. The lady at the bar was super friendly and came outside to turn our heater on since we were out there with our pomeranian. Super sweet. Dogs aren't allowed inside from what I read on the door, but some lady walked in with her dog and hung out inside while we were outside...not sure why that was allowed or even if they knew, haha. No stouts are available, but the beers we tried were good. It was fast and easy ordering, but I was expecting so much more in the pizza. I wish it was made in-house like they claim, and I wish there were a ton more pepperoni. Wings were good, and if I was in a bind for food, as Ruidoso Restaraunts aren't open late, I would probably order them again. All in all, this place has a great vibe, friendly staff, wonderful patrons, and medicore food that I would still revisit when I'm in town.”
