    This is a fine place to grab a bite and a brew when visiting the railyard district! We sat at the bar on a weekday afternoon, and a few patrons and groups were scattered through the space. The bartender/server was friendly and helpful. A big chalkboard lists what's on tap, and four of the selections were Nuckolls beers: a pils, an ale, a hefe, and a collab with Beer Creek Brewing Co. called Danielweizen. The collab was my fave; the pils and ale were both very mild. They offer full and half-pours, so it was easy to try several. The shrimp tacos were okay; they were topped with lots of avocado sauce (which tasted much like ranch dressing) and chopped cabbage. On the side were a large portion of mango salsa in a cup and a bit of green salad (lettuce and chopped tomatoes). Overall the balance of shrimp v. veggies seemed off, there was too much sauce, and the tortillas were greasy. The price was right, though: just $8 for three tacos. Other food looked good! Also in our order: a generous serving of fish and chips, which were both brown and crispy. Nuckolls has a nice outdoor area; there are plenty of seating options inside and out. The patio is pet-friendly!

    I'm loving this brewery spot smack in the middle of the rail yards! What a cool hangout spot..... very industrial with huge windows so you can see everything around you! They serve local beers from other breweries, I love that by the way! Service was awesome and I'm glad we checked it out! Oh. They also serve food. Menu looked legit, so if you want food and beer this is the spot!

    Half pour and lots of beer options!

    I think I forgot to check in when here, but I had to write a review. We stopped in shortly after open on a Wednesday. The bartender was so super nice and helpful. I wish I would have asked her name. We had some half pours to try multiple beers since they don't offer flights, but the half pours were perfect. They carry other local beers besides Nuckolls too. There was a man eating wings for lunch, and they looked so good we had to order some. They were amazing wings! Big and the sauce was delicious. It's a big beautiful location in the rail yard with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I didn't venture into the basement bar, but they had cocktails down there. Everything was great with the experience, and we go to tab out and our bill was $10 and some change. I said no way, and she explained that our half pours were even cheaper because it was happy hour and wing Wednesday where wings are only like 25 cents each. My jaw hit the floor. We had 4 half beers and 6 wings for $10. It was the absolute best deal in all of Sant Fe. So definitely stop by for beer and wings on a Wednesday afternoon for the greatest deal ever. If I could give 10 stars I would.

    Everything from the beer, food and service here is top notch. Love the vibe and the friendliness of the staff. Great spot for families and for singles as well. Highly recommended!

    Staff and service are great. Beer and food are excellent. What else can you ask for? Throw in a nice outdoor area with plenty of seating and live music. Makes it a one stop shop. Still haven't really been to the bar downstairs, but it looks really cool. When I ate here I had the Nuckolls burger and it was delicious. Becoming a regular spot for me to stop in for a couple beers.

    Cute new brewery in the Santa Fe Depot/Railyards area. Would probably be a place to check out during the summer since they seem to have a lot of seating outdoors though honestly I'm not sure I'd go back! Our bartender was not friendly to us (not even slightly), totally unwelcoming. We had planned to eat dinner there though we turned it into one drink and leave. We ate at Second Street Brewery next door instead, much friendlier! Sorry, Nuckolls, do better!

    Back in the Railyards area of Santa Fe, Nuckolls Brewing Company is a stunning new addition to the local craft beer scene. Open for less than a year, this brewery boasts a truly beautiful setting with plenty to offer. The brewery features ample outdoor shared seating with games, art, and an area for live bands to play, creating a lively and inviting environment. Inside, there's plenty of seating as well, including a bar top. The walls are lined with beautiful art, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. Lots of raw wood, copper, and iron give a very industrial look that I liked. A unique touch is the beer pull tabs, crafted from iron rail nails, which align perfectly with the Railyards theme. There is no shortage of things to look at and enjoy while sipping on a brew. Our visit was somewhat disappointing for a few reasons. Firstly, the brewery does not offer beer flights, which is a letndown for those wanting to sample a variety of brews. Secondly, despite being a brewery, they only had two of their own beers on tap. This was surprising and a bit underwhelming, especially given the impressive tap wall that boasts over 40 handles, many of which were empty during our visit. While we didn't try the food, the menu looked promising and could be a draw for future visits. The combination of a good meal and a beautiful setting could certainly make for an enjoyable outing. For beer enthusiasts seeking a traditional brewery experience with a wide selection of house-made brews, Nuckolls Brewing Company may not yet meet expectations. It might be best to skip this place for now until they expand their own draft offerings. This, I believe is why I gave my score as I did. To put "brewery" in your title and on your building, and to only have 2 beers brewed by Nuckolls, is very misleading to guests. Once on site, this is very much a restaurant that serves craft beer at the moment. However, if you're looking for a beautiful spot to enjoy a craft beer and a meal, this brewery is an excellent choice. The ambiance and aesthetic are top-notch, making it a great place to relax and soak in the unique environment. In summary, Nuckolls Brewing Company has the potential to be a fantastic destination, depending on what you're looking for. As they continue to grow and hopefully expand their beer selection, it could become a go-to spot for both beer enthusiasts and those seeking a picturesque location to enjoy good food and drink.

The person who served me was attentive and friendly. Loved the upstairs area, and probably would have sat out on the outdoor patio if it hadn't been raining during my visit. They have beer for purchase in cans to go. The only thing to mention is that they do not have a food menu... so you're at the mercy of the adjacent taco stand if it's open. Loved place and would definitely go back! Hard to argue with fresh, local beer.

The staff was super friendly and attentive and the grounds for the outdoor, open-air venue were nicely kept. We ordered two drinks before the show and when I checked in on the Yelp app, I scored a discount, which the staff honored. I can't express how nice and friendly everyone was at the bar. The concert was something I'll never forget. It started raining while Cannons was playing and this made for a truly unforgettable experience in a good way. I'd definitely like to see another concert or two here. Hopefully Cannons will be back! When the concert ended and everyone was making a mad dash back to their cars, other was no one directing traffic, which made things kind of a cluster-f***. Overall though, I enjoyed my experience here and Santa Fe is lucky to have this place!

The fish is terrific; moist on the inside, crispy on the outside, not fishy; a really nicely done fried fish. The fries were a big miss! Last time they were overly salted, and we did mention this to the staff. This time, it was worse; not too salty, but everyone was unhappy with the texture. Some thought they were frozen (they had that frozen fry texture), but of course, they were not, we were told. The taste was OK, but after a few fries, none of us could eat any more. They all ended up in the trash. Too bad because the most challenging part of fish and chips is the fish, which Rowley's does very well. Chips? Nope! You can ask for a Caesar instead, but it's rather lackluster (more later). My wife had the Green Chile Tuna Melt, which was pretty good and unusual. They use wild yellowtail to make the salad, and it was a nice upgrade from the usual. Not fishy like Tuna can be (although if you like tuna salad, which we do, that's not an issue). Had a nice kick from the Chile, nice bread, etc. We recommend this dish. Came with a side Caesar salad, which was pretty bland. It's all about the dressing, of course, and this version didn't seem to have any anchovies I could detect, nor the necessary other ingredients to make it remarkable. Could have been ranch or any other 'white' dressing. Another miss. Tried the Roasted Brussels Sprouts, which were pretty good (need more roasting), and need the bacon as a default. The version at Box Car is far superior. But not bad here, not a miss. But better We also tried the Grilled & Roasted Vegetables topped with feta. This dish was delicious! A really nice side for those who want something healthy with their fried fish. The waiter knew we didn't like the fries, so he 'comped' us dessert, which was a very nice gesture. We tried the Bread Pudding and the Mango Cheesecake. The cheesecake was way too cool, so its texture was hard and not what I'd normally expect. There wasn't a trace of Mango I could detect. The crust was nice. Not a miss, but not something I'd order again. The bread pudding was pretty good, not the best in class, but more successful than the cheesecake. Not overly sweet, thankfully, but a bit dense. Service was very good! Our server was Gerson C, who got everything right. The kitchen served the food promptly, and everyone was served at once. But overall, too many misses for me to be convinced to go back.
