    a bar with bar stools
    Jim F.

    On a recent day trip to Santa Fe we were looking (like we always do) for a local brewery. It's kinda my thing. The wife found Chili Line and *whoosh* off we went. Chili Line is a small place, but very cozy. It occupies an unassuming spot along the road right next door to Lino's Trattoria & Pizzeria. We were just there for the beer so we sat in the bar. It's tiny, with only two tables, and a few stools at the bar. Jessica was our server so she directed us to the online beer menu. I ordered a flight of 4 beer (with the help of Congo), and they were all REALLY good. One of the things I absolutely LOVED about Chili Line was that smoked beers. I love a good smoked beer, be it an ale, stout, or lager. There's something about a smoke brew that is unique and makes it stand out from other beer. Chili Line is a CLEAR standout when it comes to smoked brews, and definitely The Best I've had. Jessica was awesome. She didn't mind engaging in conversation and helping us make beer choices. We also swapped a few tattoo stories (which is awesome) and helped me decide which merchandise to purchase. It was a short visit (maybe an hour), but it was great. Chili Line is a very cozy, relaxed place. Some breweries go for the hype, but not here. Just a quiet place to hang out and drink some excellent smoked brews. I'll be back. You've been warned.

    Flight
    Shane A.

    4 stars strictly for the service; 3 stars for the beer. The staff was extremely friendly, and the servers knowledgeable. I didn't try the food, but we tried a flight of all their beers and I only liked a couple. They are a micro brewery so they aren't pumping out large amounts. Their pale was okay, and they had one similar to a Heff. Everything else was just not to my personal liking. A cool spot to check out wish I would have tried the food.

    Nightly fun

    Everything was great-bartender Chris (he was also the waiter and bus boy), food, ambiance, beer and music. We were able to get food from the place next door-not often you get gourmet Italian food at a brewery with great beers. We had the spaghetti and meatballs (had spinach a little spice-yum), Sinatra-light cream sauce with asparagus and mushrooms, yummy pizza. Great sour/natural ferment brown, bourbon barrel aged beer (had a nice sweet note) and a stout which was a little Smokey. Highly recommend-check it out.

    We decided to go here based on he yelp reviews and the Brewee app reviews. I would suggest that you put this place on your list of must go places even if you are not a beer drinker. The atmosphere is quintessential Santa Fe. Chris was our expert at the bar. I had a flight of their beers that were overall the best group of beers I have had in 7 weeks out west. Their west coast IPA was excellent and do your self a favor and try both the red and green chili ales! The red definitely gets my vote. My wife had the stout and it was superb! The biggest bonus was the food. We started with the calamari appetizer and it was so tender and lightly breaded in a sauce that just enhanced the flavor. Definitely recommended. Then we each had a pasta dish, I had the Frank Sinatra and my wife had the Sophia Loren. And the topping was the jazz trio to finish the night. Oh so good. Rich and creamy both!! The food and the beer will not disappoint and if you are lucky enough to have Chris serve you tell him Brad and Ronna sent you.

    A flight of beers! Each is about 2.50-3.00$  Our favorite out of these was honey!
    Makayla M.

    Sarah was absolutely awesome! We're from out of town and she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We did the flight of beers; the paddle comes with (4) but you can get as much as you'd like. They were 2.50 or 3.00 each depending on which you got. Our favorite out of these was the honey! It was so good I thought it was JUICE. After trying the beers we decided to go ahead and get the wings. They're bone in mango habanero and we're the absolute best mango habaneros I have ever had. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. If you're visiting Santa he, TRY A FLIGHT OF BEERS HERE!

    Pepperoni green chili pizza

    Took my dog-o here. They have an outdoor patio which is nice. I ordered the pizza with pepperoni and green xhili. It was delicious. They also had a June cider which was hibiscus. Wow. Absolutely delicious. Check it out.

    El Diablo
    Alli M.

    I'm not a beer person so I got their signature cocktail - el Diablo. It has chocolate liquor in it that's all I can remember but my dog's nickname is Diablo that's why I ordered it. Very very good. Bartender was so friendly and helpful. Live music was 5 star as well!

    Teresa A.

    Great service and attention by Jessica and JD! My mom and I were only in town a handful of days, but we kept coming back to Chili Line because it felt like 'home.'

    Flight (guava sour, raspberry sour, green chili beer, red chili beer) and a bowl of fried shishito peppers.
    Priscilla R.

    The chili beers would have been much better if they weren't flat. The server/host was either new or very inexperienced with the bar, because the pours for the other party there at the same time as us were also looking a bit rough and it took him about 40 minutes to switch out the keg. The fried shishito peppers were great and a huge portion (as expected for $12 for fried peppers). We're a fan of sour beers, and their raspberry and guava sours were very interesting. They had an almost fermented taste to them? The patio out front is dog-friendly. Inside is a bit small but they had live music setting up in there while we were leaving. It looked like they had a really pretty back patio, but it isn't dog friendly. Overall, beer and service were just okay.

    Burrata Pizza with prosciutto
    Jillian R.

    Chili Line Brewing is a chill spot, great atmosphere, friendly staff and good pizza. We had the Burrata Pizza. San Marzano tomato sauce, organic mozzarella, Burrata Cheese, diced tomato, porcini mushrooms, and basil, we did add prosciutto. I had the Mentriosa, lager dry hopped with pecan smoked hops...fantastic! My husband had an IPA and enjoyed it.

    Pizza.

    Great vibe and good beer. Chris the bartender was a great guy. Very accommodating. Give it a try. Only negative - parking was a bit rough.

    I was in Santa Fe for a ridiculously niche lawyers conference and wandered into El Matador on a…read morerandom Thursday night. Then I came back Friday. And Saturday. Not because of the drinks. Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.

    Kind of a grungy, punk, divey vibe. Not exactly my thing, but where that feels unique to me this is…read morethe kind of place to remind yourself it takes all kinds.

    WOW. Wine here is AWESOMENESS!…read more Yelp friends ... Armando Rosales is the friendliest bartender I've met in a long while He's from Espanola so he's super down to Earth ! (Future manager I think) He let me sample some great wines 1) Signature Canyon Five ~ fruity. Unique 2) Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon ~ AMAZING ! I ordered number 2 to pair with my (incredible) FRENCH ONION SOUP If you have that on your menu I have to try it but this was truly exceptional ! Following that I had the New York Strip. Medium rare. GREAT but I did ask for a side of Green Chile. And Garlic Aioli for the potatoes Nicely cooked but I added some salt and chile to make it pop my taste buds. YES. I would order it again the same way The Pork Chop looked great as well Desert was also very good. Truffles and Port wine ...I love Port wine (Spicy chocolate truffles with lovely RED CHILE in them) I think I'd give these guys 6 stars of if I could because Armando was so cool toward me !

    This wine bar was just ok. When visiting Santa Fe in the summertime, we stopped in for some quick…read morebites and a bit of wine tasting. The wine was not cold. We ordered flights of white and none of them were cold enough. I understand if they had been reds, but on a hot summer day, one just craves a cold glass of wine and/or bubbly. Once we were done tasting our wines and the food arrived, we had to ask a couple of times/people to remove the large glasses and apparatus they rested in from our table since there wasn't room for everything. The hummus and pita with hot honey and feta was pretty good, and our son loved his pasta dish from the kids menu, but that was the extent of the magic here. The paninis the rest of our party ordered were again, just ok. When I went to the restroom I was appalled. There was some really gross stuff sticking to the wall next to the toilet; I couldn't tell if it was barf or poop, but it really turned me off. Good thing we were already on our way out. The atmosphere is kind of a New Orleans vibe with a high ceiling and covered terrace upstairs with plants that you can see from the downstairs area. That was nice. The day before when I was walking around the Plaza, they had a big carafe of fruit-infused ice water outside the restaurant with plastic cups for people to help themselves to, and it was super refreshing. That was the best thing about this place.
