19 Best Bars in Santa Fe

“fabulous atmosphere! a hidden gem.“

“This was our second meal for our weekend getaway, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is very nice, but not pretentious. The service was excellent with just the right amount of attention. The food was very good and we never felt rushed. The suggestions from the server were well thought out and he listened to us, and we ended up splitting and it was just the right amount of food, so it turned out to be a great experience. The presentation of the food was excellent. We would definitely recommend this place. “

“Gem restaurant just a short distance from the Santa Fe Plaza. The view from the place and the environment was special. Having come on a snowy day in April, the soups were delicious and warming. The fresh sourdough rolls were good as well.
Local artisans' work is featured on the bar area walls. Tribal clothing examples are also framed on the walls along with native pottery. It was eye candy to me.“

“Was good experience, food was on point“

“Love the atmosphere at this small but tasty brewery. The house style indoor bar is cozy for cold nights and the large outdoor patio is great after a long bike ride to kick back with friends for a refreshing beer. The food truck at this location also makes some of the best burgers.“

“sorta the old school, "last of its kind here in SF"�this place“

“J-rod is the WORLDS GREATEST BARTENDER! He is a stallion amongst mules and all should bow to superior skills! He’s intuitive, cool AF and will get you Muddy! Overall just a master of his craft! Everyone else is superb as well! Recommend roots and leaves to anyone and everyone!“

“Really nice place attached to the Hotel Chimayo. Service was quick and friendly, the pizza was very very good, and we had a good time taking it easy. Was a bit overrun with a wedding party ordering a pile of crazy drinks, but Efren kept up with the crowd very well. During busy times it could be good to bring on another bartender, but we have no complaints and will be back next time we are in SF NM.“

“Each item we enjoyed on the lunch and dinner menu was A-amazing. The attentive and well orchestrated staff was a delightful aspect as well.“

“We had an early birthday dinner and the restaurant was lovely. All the food was very flavorful and we really enjoyed everything we ordered but especially the cocktails! The staff was excellent ?! And they gave me a free desert with a candle for my birthday.“

“Yes, loved the quaint and warm atmosphere. Bartender Daniel is the best. Knowledgeable and pleasant. Enjoyed my visit there immensely!!!“

“Going to Evangelos is bittersweet for me. My boyfriend did all the wood carving on the wall & built the bar many years ago. He passed away in 2020. Evangelo's son (Nick) retired several years ago but still owns the bar. I moved away from the Fe but will hit Evangelos next time I'm there. In the meantime, raise a glass for me & make a toast to Patrick Trujillo, woodworker extraordinaire.“

“Live the cider best in nm“

“Last Saturday night we celebrated my husband's 80th birthday. I called and spoke with Ricardo Gutierrez about our wish to make this a memorable event. He could not have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with, sending me sample menus and tolerating my changes and many questions. He and the staff went out of their way to make the dinner party a success - providing several shiny balloons proclaiming happy 80th birthday and even making 2 birthday cakes, which were very good by the way, one to eat there and one to take home. The price fix menu provided great selections and the food was very good and reasonably priced. A good time was had by all.“

“Have been here off and on since the 1980s … one of my all time favorites….“

“Excelente restaurante. ..muy rica comida y atención..y si gustan tiene los fines de semana se hacen bailes y se pone superior bien ...un agradable ambiente“

“Always good music playing. Prices are reasonable for Santa Fe. Primarily a local joint but tourists who behave are welcome to spend their filthy lucre. Cash only. Watch your step. Sidewalk is trashed and the stairs are steep.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not remotely good for wheelchair access. My knee hurts after a few trips up and down the stairs.“

“Visited the Albuquerque location, the service and atmosphere were exceptional. Just passing thru the area.... The beer was pretty darn good too....“

“Great simple taproom with extensive local options. Bartender Wes (sp) was knowledgeable and funny. Gave us great food recommendations for the area. Big notes: no real food options here, only packaged snacks; and no NA options other than water and pop. Great spot if you want to drink local options! Would recommend.“
