After going to numerous locations of this company, it's safe to say that it is the worst brewery in…read morethe state, maybe the entire southwest. The attitudes that appear to be cultivated in the employees is beyond rude most times, especially at the HQ and Tin Can locations, and they treat customers like they don't care if you come back or not. There is one employee specifically that stands out regarding terrible service, short round girl, definitely not going to be a good experience with her on the floor. The beer is not great, so they should be a little more grateful for local customers, there's plenty of other places to support with our dollars.

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. A busy setting and top candidate for beginning or ending your Santa Fe drunk parade. That is to say, it is fun. It is not refined. But it clearly does not want to be. :)

Just rating the margaritas and the karaoke…read more Margaritas were good. Karaoke had a nice stage, good mics, and a strong crowd. Regulars get more chances to sing than visitors though. Karaoke end at 12AM.

Let's begin with the obvious: quality, well crafted, delicious beer…read more Service: this place was packed. Yet, the bartender still had the patience to answer any question we had. Ambiance: we had settled into Santa Fe after a few days in Pagosa Springs. Honestly, our experience hadn't been the best. Changed hotels three times, a few other things were making us feel we had made a bad choice coming to SF. Then we walked into SFB, and my daughter said, "ah, we found our people!" The vibe. The energy. The people. All of it was the starting point of turning our entire trip around!

I didn't even think of taking pictures of this place…read more The place is super tiny, like in the backyard of a small house. The parking is large with street parkings if lot is filled. The vibe is backyard brewery. There is live music or projected music where after sunset, a movie is aired in a small projected screen All the beer we had weren't really good. My friend felt sick to his stomach. And the one another had was like bad barley beer.

The Bell Tower Bar is the rooftop at La Fonda and a popular place to be at sunset. We arrived…read moreearly enough to get our name on the list and get a nice "window" table relatively quickly. Rooftop staff were very nice, and our drink choices were well received. The food choices were a bit limited, with one friend expecting more of a fuller meal selection and her husband being restrained by his various food allergies. On that point, I did not know that corn chips were not automatically gluten free and depending on what else was in the fryer at the time. Lucky for him, staff were aware of that nuance prior to ordering. The shrimp on the other had were A-OK. The Sunset was nice, but not all that impressive. That of course is out of La Fonda's control, but our group did have a nice social time up here nonetheless.

This is a great, popular place to hang out in a casual way. The food itself (primarily pizza) is…read morepriced very reasonably as well. The ambiance is like a casual bar with music in a background. It does get pretty busy, so if you are with a large group, you may not find a place for everyone to sit. Probably 1-3 people would be ideal. Overall, ok place. The pizza is freshly made to order and had some variety. I had the NM White which I thought was ok. Next time, I would probably want to try something else though. I also wished they sell pizzas by slices, too so I could actually try more than just one or two variations (but I believe they solely sell them by whole).

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 !

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.
