About Desert Dogs Brewery and Cidery

Desert Dogs Brewery and Cidery is a cool spot with good vibes, classic rock music, and free shuffle board and pool table. The place offers a wide selection of beers and ciders, along with delicious street tacos like Al Pastor and Carnitas. Customers recommend trying the Paloma cocktail and "the shroom" street tacos paired with a pint of Kolsch. Despite recent changes and a total remodel, the food and drinks remain great, albeit slightly more expensive. It's a fun and tucked away brewery in Santa Fe, located near the Plaza.

The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and fun. Bartenders are willing to share about local fare. The food is really good, with customers praising the chicken wings, burgers, and fresh-cut fries. The ciders, all brewed locally, are also a highlight, with the Desert Dog dry cider and Blackberry Cider being customer favorites.

Customers describe the Mexican Lager as a 10/10, the Dr. Stranglehop as an 8/10, and the Loaded Nacho Fries as an 8.5/10, noting they are good and cheesy, but could use more spice and meat. The venue is very dog-friendly, with a treat and water bowl provided. Customers recommend the Porter for its depth and the Blackberry Cider for its strong flavor, though it can be a bit tart. The Bourbon and Maple Rye spirits also receive positive reviews, with the Rye being described as sweet and maple-like. The tacos al pastor are good, but the pineapple is sometimes missing. The Honcho burger is great, but customers suggest having a big appetite and a big mouth to finish it.
