Decent prices, good burgers, good beers with a decent variety of taps. Interesting crowd out back on the outside patio. They had a DJ inside that made it too loud to have a conversation but I might be a little old to say though. That said, I did feel the younger folks were getting better service than me from the late 20s early 30s waitress. read more

Just an ok spot for me. They have some local beers as well as national beer. Inside was a little divey (and nothing wrong with that!) Service was friendly. Beer that I tried had only ok (a vanilla cream ale). read more

Overall, a decent experience. If you're not experienced in big city travels, please be aware of the homeless population. Sometimes they may be "on something." I had the cherry sour, it was alright. While we were there, a homeless guy came in and initially refused to leave. The bartender had to toss him out. They had to open the doors to vent out the smell he left behind. Even briefly opening the doors, they required employees to guard the doors. Kudos to the employees for keeping their patrons safe, but I wouldn't travel here alone TBH. read more

Not a fan of this place. Bums and homeless everywhere. Drinks were not tasty and way overpriced. Way too crowded with rude people bumping into you. The outside patio in the back was nice, but it was too crowded to enjoy. read more

Love it. Great staff. Awesome beer and cocktails. Plenty of fun events. Indoor and outdoor patio seating options, even during the winter (fire pits). Love the food, too. They have CHEESE CURDS. Yep. read more

People say if you want to find the good food in town find out where the cops hang out. So we followed the line of cop cars through Downtown like a trail of donut crumbs leading to the Red Door Brewing Co., a misleading name as they don't brew beer and there is no red door. The beer, which is brewed by actual breweries, tasted a little stale. The food seemed to be standard bowling alley fare but we needed something to make the beer taste worse. The dirty fries were on point; cheese, chilis, bacon, curds. I enjoyed every bite though I fear what the morning brings. Lord forgive me for I have sinned. read more

Red Door Brewing - Downtown - Dirty Fries and chicken tenders. - Breweries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Slow Monday night, but the people made it. The bartender killed it, and the cook. They both sang karaoke, and it really got the crowd going. I give three stars because I saw the list for karaoke. I counted how many were before me and my friend when we signed up. The MC skipped us and kept letting his GF sing. She's great, but it sucked getting skipped. We left early. read more

Holy-moly!! This place is looking Amazing!!!! Great beer selection and FULL BAR ladies and gentlemen. Food menu is ridiculously mouthwatering.... has anyone ever heard of Dirty Fries!?? (thick cut fries, cheese curds, green chile, avocado, fry sauce)... I highly recommend with any beer or cocktail! Dustin helped us out and was very friendly and attentive! We hung out in the back patio which, I used to come to often when it was Blackbird nightclub. You will have good times in this patio!! Come check it out!! You can thank me later! read more

I was happy with my experience at Red Door. I came around 3 on a Friday to finish up last minute work things and it was a great environment for that at that time. Mike was the bartender and he was great. They've started a new thing with $4 burgers 8-close Thursday-Saturday! Pretty sick deal For the beer I had the cream ale for a smooth end of afternoon drink read more

Red Door made the right downtown move. This building, which was for so many years the incomparable Blackbird Buvette, has a personality that begs you to stay a while. That's right, the architecture alone can influence your mood, and it's nothing particularly unique, a front hall with a pitched ceiling and a hallway leading to a generous back patio, hugged on all sides by Albuquerque itty bitty concrete jungle. While it's easy to imagine a swanky upgrade with some exterior and interior design investment, it isn't necessary, and Red Door has generally let the building speak for itself, focussing on a smart spirits program and a menu that offers bar food basics. I'm glad this local brewery found a spot on main street and I'm still putting this place on my later-night downtown radar, because that patio, paired with some twinkling lights, a cold pint and some good friends, is the way to bring your evening to an end. Someday soon, I hope. read more

As a first time visiting New Mexico on vacation I google this place and found out it was very closed to where I was staying. My friends and I decided to visit and on a Thursday night- it was a weird vibe as soon as walking in we had to order from the counter/bar then we had to find our seat, after we got our drinks and food we had to get up and ask for one more more. Am not sure if this is how they do service here in New Mexico but the food was very good and we were enjoying our vacation. We got our second round of drink and we thought everything was fine but when trying to order our third drink the bartender closed out our tab because "you people been here for a while" am not sure if it was because our friend was black or there is a secret time limit to be a customer in this establishment. It was very unfortunate because we tried hard to overlook their poor service by staying positive and focusing on the good food and music but we were very sad to be treaded this way. I hope they were more focused on customer service, for this reason I would not recommend this place unless you enjoy self service and want a drink and leave as your done with your food. read more

This is a nice little brewing company downtown. We stopped in for some beer and appetizers. The cheese curds were just ok. Very greasy. The green chile cheese fries on the other hand were huge and very tasty. I definitely recommend those to share. The beer choices were good. Staff friendly. Not sure I will be back as there are other places near by that stack up a little better. It was a nice place to just grab a quick beer and snack. read more

Nice small venue in the middle of downtown ABQ...if you're near and like beer they have some very unique selections...I had one called "Glazed and Confused" which has 40 pounds of donuts in the wort. Nice selection of food...I had the Cobb salad which was very good and a lot of it...$12. I'm back for lunch the next afternoon and the six burger choices (all served with ample crispy fries) are $10 read more

Beer is god awful... smells horrible like its bad and made me sick. DO NOT GO HERE I don't know what's going with these guys. It seems they want to just be a bar and don't care about the brew side anymore. It's shame they used to have decent beer. Something's changed for the worse. I will not be drinking here ever again. read more

Another brewery downtown. Just what we need right? No really, there's no sarcasm there. I know it can be hard for your to decipher as a reader. I just wanted to be clear we are on the same page. You may find yourself in the area but are not interested in going to a bar. Maybe you don't want to settle with the lousy beer selection or the crowd. That's where a brewery comes in to save the day! So yes, another brewery downtown! Yay! The bigger the selection the better, who doesn't love options! I've been to their original location on Candelaria but had no clue they had this one. I came across it after getting some ink done at a place across the street. We were looking for drink on a Sunday evening, and a place we hadn't been too, I remembered about this spot. Needless to say, it was not busy. There were three other patrons in the place. No big deal, we weren't necessarily looking to be totally social. The location is neat because it used to be part of a bank. They even have part of the original vault still in there. They've re-purposed it into a game room but kept the name of it The Vault. It's neat and fun. And hey, after a few, if you're feeling like getting out, downtown is only a street over. You can hit up a pool table or dance floor somewhere. As for the beer selection. I have yet to find myself a regular beer that I like at Red Door. So, for me, I usually peruse the seasonal selection. They have a Rye Steam on the board at the moment that tickled my taste buds just right. Give it a try if it's still on the tap when you stop by. read more

I don't know how I've never been to this brewery, but I've never been here! The service during Geeks Who Drink needed some work, as a person there for a quiz for a cause and a representative for the agency, we couldn't get service to save our lives. Yes, we had a few flyers on the table, but that doesn't mean that the server shouldn't come to our table, we're customers too. There are a lot of regulars here and perhaps if I'd had service at all, even after going to the bar twice, I would go back. The only reason I got service is because my boyfriend waited at the bar a good while and ordered us drinks. They had good sours, but I probably won't be back unless Carrie is there because I know she's a great server. read more

Hands down best gathering spot. I love the laid back vibe and they have a cute little back patio! The service is denominated and the food is not bad. The bartenders are great too! read more

Food Allergy Review: I've been to Red Door Brewing Downtown twice so far, both times for Geeks Who Drink. I love this little brewery and as for the location I like that it's a little bit off of central. Getting to Red Door and finding parking is easy, both important factors for me when I want to go relax and have a drink with friends. The brewery is small and intimate and the staff are super friendly. I have celiac disease and I appreciate the cider and all of the gluten removed beers. Now, gluten removed beers are one of those things in the celiac community that we don't all agree on - some celiac or gluten sensitive people can't handle these drinks, while others don't have an issue. Red Door says their beer tests at less than 10PPM which is less than the FDA requirements for gluten free food. So it's up to you if you think this works for you, but they are upfront with the info and have a rotating selection of gluten free beer which is nice. If you don't trust the beer you can also always get a glass of wine!! As for food, Red Door only has chips and salsa, but they have a ton of menus for places that deliver and my FAVORITE part is that Rad[ish] is literally right next door. Rad[ishtotally gluten free to-go food option so the two together make a great pair!!! I definitely recommend Red Door for those avoiding gluten in their diet! Head on down and visit the friendly staff and enjoy a tasty beer. UPDATE: I did get glutened after visiting Red Door and I have 2 theories why. 1) I went for a Harry Potter quiz night and they had butterbeer. I asked if it was gluten free and they said yes, and I went back to my table for about 30 min. When I came back I just ordered a butterbeer and didn't specify gluten free. So maybe it was possible to make it gluten free, but because I didn't specify when I ordered, I got a gluten one. Option 2) The gluten removed beer is not gluten removed enough for a celiac. read more

UPDATE: I was contacted by Matthew, the business owner, and he was very understanding about my concerns: I really appreciate when a business owner responds to a negative review in this fashion. I was told that a new AC unit would be installed shortly, and I am willing to give Red Door on Central another try - once it's nice and fresh in there :) P.S. Matt also gave me a $20 credit. Great business owner! I will update my review again after I've returned for my 2nd visit :) This review is for the new downtown location on Central. A friend and I went last night and were not impressed at all. It was stifling hot in this place. Nobody greeted us when we walked in. Had to wait at least 10 minutes for a waitress even though the place was dead. When the waitress did come around she wasn't very friendly and seemed uninterested. There were insects flying around all over the place and something actually bit my friend. I ordered the Teller Tea which was very bland so I sent it back and got a Dark Cherry Coke which was pretty good. We considered ordering food but after seeing all the things flying around and sitting in the stifling heat we decided to quickly finish our drinks and go someplace else. There were no happy hour drink or food specials which was kind of a turn off. read more

Stopped in to kill some time while I was downtown and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a Saturday early afternoon so it was kind of slow inside but they were playing nice music and had delicious beer to offer. I enjoyed a white Ale, it had a nice honey taste up front and finished with a nice ale flavor. We had wonderful service and even got to play a little game of "hook and string" (use your imagination l read more

Always always always five stars at Red Door Downtown! I have been coming to red Door for about 6 years and they are my absolute favorite. They have two locations, one on Candeleria and the other Downtown central. The best things about this bar is the staff, Vince one of the beer tenders has always been such a great friend and always makes us laugh when we visit! Next up is their amazing self brewed beer, I have tried it all and my top favorites are the cider, cocktails, and the stout! Red Door has opened up a kitchen in their newest location downtown and the food is always so great! My personal favorite is the green chile cheeseburger with a side of French fries and their spicy mayo! Omg yum! Always feel at home here and its one of the best spots to check out during the monthly Art Walks Downtown! read more

One of my favorite spaces in Albuquerque's iconic Simms building, the first modern high-rise downtown. Good beer each time, but for me, it is the re-imagined space with wall to wall windows that frame a not usual for Albuquerque urban vista. This is a very sleek design. Warm wood, casual atmosphere. It can take you back to a time where Mad Men were the hippest dudes on the block... without all the beards. It can get busy in a few minutes but still feel calm, cool, collected. Always engaging staff and clearly a devout following of regulars. Super chillaxing space to enjoy an after work brew. read more

Good little place for an after work brew. The staff is friendly and attentive; not to mention personable. The beer is good as well. Recommend the West Coast IPA and the Irish Red Ale. The only thing I would change is adding chilled glasses to keep the brew colder longer, especially if you take a bit of time to drink one down. read more

I had just tried red door brewing on Candelaria about 3 days ago and was impressed! I tried this downtown location and was very disappointed. My friend and i walked thru the establishment and all the way to the back outdoor patio area... the raw sewage smell was so bad we decided to sit inside. We ordered drinks and nachos and ended up moving outdoors to the front outdoor area because the strong offensive smell from the back patio are quickly made its way thru the interior since both front and rear doors were open, it was easy for this smell to flood the entire establishment. It was really gross and has us literally gagging. Outdoor front was better as far as no foul odor, we just were subjected to the homeless people walking by and stopping to ask for money, and even saw some people arguing right out front. Correction is needed on the menu as Ruidoso is spelled incorrectly. We ordered the chicken nachos, the presentation was nice but the chicken tasted like an old store bought rotisserie chicken you leave in the fridge too long. The chicken had an old refrigerator funky taste to it. The address on the website is wrong and needs to be updated. I wasn't a fan of this location, the service, or the quality. read more

I have been in Red Door Brewing at their previous location, which felt to me to be better than current. I tried about 5 of their beers and was not satisfied. I do enjoy supporting local so my intentions were to buy a growler before I walked in. The beers had a stale taste and missing in body, as if they have been sitting for months. I ended up buying a growler of Czar of Aberdeen which was satisfactory at best, the only one bold in taste and a dark beer. I did purchase a bbq burger from the menu which was delicious and I do recommend and made up for the mediocre beer. The waitress was quite busy but not too friendly overall from my observation with others and myself. If you are on central and not sure where to go this is a fill your time type of place, not something to wow you! Average place and would venture off of central to surrounding breweries if you want to try better beers! read more

Good beer in a nice clean new space right downtown. Okay I don't make it out to the bars too frequently so this place may have been here for years. So it feels and looks new to me. Floor to ceiling windows let in a lot of light want was visually pleasing. Decent amount of of beers on tap. I met a bunch of friends here so I wasn't able to scope out all the details about any other beverage options. It's a nice place with friendly people that you should check out.

Now when my friends want to start our night I can get one of my top 10 favorite beers. i do have to say this location is very different than the one on Candelaria.

The location is kinda neat and the lighting brings a complete different atmosphere than what you expect from the downtown scene. Two thumbs way up! read more
