The Chicken Cobb was one of the best cobb salads I've ever had. It paired well with their 2920 IPA. In fact, we took a 6-pack of the 2920 back with up to San Antonio. On other visits to Second Street, we were amazed by the Northern NM Style Enchiladas, Rueben sandwich and fish -n-chips. This became our go-to when not sampling the fare at Tune-Up Cafe or Counter Culture for breakfast/brunch. read more

We decided to stop in for a quick beer before dinner but quick it was not! We almost left after sitting at a table for awhile because we weren't sure we had a server - they seemed very short staffed. But the seating options were good - they had both patio and indoor tables, plus a bar to sit up at. There was a stage in the corner so I'm assuming it's a lot more fun and lively when they have a music night. I ended up getting a flight to be able to taste a few of their beers but unfortunately didn't love any of them. I probably liked their brown ale the best. They do have a pretty wide selection, and also have cocktails and wine, so there's a little something for everyone. read more

The Alien Burger is THE BEST burger I've ever had!!!! OMG wow, it's packed with amazingness: a big cheese-stuffed roasted green chile, crunchy bacon, chopped hatch chiles, guacamole, queso sauce, perfectly cooked burger patty, and toasted bun. I'll be dreaming of this burger! My husband and I each got one. The tater tots side was a huge amount and they were seasoned to perfection, super crispy. The coleslaw had a delicious flavor and cut through the heartiness of the burger. 5 stars for Second Street Brewery just for the Alien Burger!! Eat it, right now! The beers were a range of great to OK. The brown ale was our favorite! The bitter was very good. The two hazy IPAs were not great... When we arrived, the service experience was pretty confusing. We were told to order from different people, our server was overwhelmed with a big table, so we ordered from the bar. But the server excused himself and was really cool in the end. There's tons of seating inside, and an outdoor patio, so this is a great spot for groups. And we got to meet the Chef, he was so nice!! Gave him massive compliments on the burger ;) We will 100% be back to Second Street Brewery when in Santa Fe, I'll be fantasizing about their Alien Burger until then!! Support local and do yourself a favor, check them out today! read more

We stopped in Santa Fe during a road trip and were looking for a local spot for a late dinner. We had read some mixed reviews, but honestly, don't let the negative ones scare you off! We had a great experience at Second Street Brewery! The food was amazing. We ordered the cauliflower wings and the Alien Burger. I loved that we mentioned we were going to split it and it came already cut and in separate plates! The Hatch chile inside the burger was so good and I'm always a fan of avocado in my burger. We also got a beer flight to try a few of their brews. Everything was solid! I really enjoyed the crisp pilsner, and my boyfriend was a big fan of the IPAs. Our server was super kind and even offered us dessert because we helped him with a bet, which was funny. We were too full to try it, but the gesture alone was greatly appreciated! The space itself is big, and they even have a small stage, which I'm guessing is for live music. They also have a dog-friendly patio (always a plus!) Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Santa Fe! read more

The idea of a vegetarian ruben initially gave me pause, but as a vegetarian who loves mushrooms, I'm really glad I gave it a try. We were looking for a place to eat after Meow Wolf and this is right around the corner. The parking lot is SMALL--that's the biggest complaint that I have. The menu for both food and drinks offers a lot of variety. It was busy but not overly loud. Our server was great in terms of offering suggestions based on our preferences and what they had on tap. read more

Great burger. I had the Alien burger as takeout. Delicious dish, plus the bartender was sweet.

Loved this place. Friendly bartenders, delish food, and beer. I had the raspberry cider mixed with the original/dry and a turkey wrap. Very delicious and the ambiance was great. Perfect Sunday afternoon. read more

We were visiting Sante Fe for Memorial Day weekend and chose Second Street Brewery because it was close to our hotel. The hospitality, service, food, beer and cocktails were amazing. I would highly recommend this Brewery. The servers were really great at their jobs recommending beers and bringing a taste to the table first. They never made us feel like we were imposing. We had our mom with us and all the servers made her feel special. Thank You we will be back. read more

The service was good, however the I was not able to find a beer that I liked. I had the fish and chips because it was recommended by a friend. The fries were okay, but the fish was crispy on the outside and soggy on the inside. The parking is horrific. You basically have to park on the street far, far away from the actual place. I did not like this place. read more

Josh and the whole team are great! Wonderful food, beers, and vibes. Highly suggest for people to visit!

Great tacos and brews your choice of indoors or on the patio with quick and helpful staff. This place is always in rotation for these locals. read more

My son got food poisoning from the chicken fingers I went back and told the waitress a week later and she didn't care. Honestly, we used to go a lot but the food is meh and the staff is meh read more

Hey, hey, hey, over here! It's tough to get server to come by and the bartender won't do a thing except stare at you like you're doing something wrong. The server had our drinks in hand but decided to stop by the bar to chat up some dude. So if you are looking for stellar service, this is not the place to go. We decided to split a large house salad with chicken. A family member picked it up and paid for it. When we checked at home, no chicken. Online menu for this location says the large house salad was $12.5 and chicken Is an extra $5, $17.50 total. The serving is not worth the price. The beer is good though. On a warm high desert day, the kolsch hits the spot. Most of the stouts are hearty and delicious. Water is in coolers around the restaurant. And don't ask for water, they can't afford to get any for you, self serve only. The calamari is way too fishy smelling, old. Patrons at the bar aren't always friendly. The atmosphere is not friendly at times. It's hit or miss. Hopefully, they can kindly and professionally treat all visitors. read more

Been going to 2nd Street since it was on 2nd street but only for beers, which are good. Ended up at the newer Rufina taproom and decided to order dinner to go. Order 4 burgers medium and they all came back extra well done with a burnt taste. If they can't even cook a basic burger to order without burning them, I have no confidence in order food from there in the future. Fries were good which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. Btw the overall price with tip for 4 burgers and 3 beers was over $100. Could have ate a better cooked burger for cheaper at Whataburger. #disappointed. Eat before you go and just enjoy their beers, is my recommendation. read more

Stopped by to have a beer while the family did Meow wolf... every parent needs to stop by here, either before, during or after. Great atmosphere and good beer. read more

Second Street Brewery Rufina Taproom - 2920 ipa - Breweries Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Wow! Our bartender Cindy gave us the most attentive and engaging service I have ever enjoyed at a Taproom. We are Marylanders and Love,Love, LOVE chicken wings. We ordered 24 Xtra Crispy and tried each of the three varieties! The Green Chilie is mild, the Buffalo was a little spicier, but i would say mild too overall. BBQ was also a mild sauce as well. I would recommend the 2920 IPA to cleanse the pallet. We saw a T-Shirt for a crawfish boil. We were told to look out for a Pilsner and Crab Boil event around Father's Day. We will definitely be back to this welcoming and luxuriant Tap Room. Thanks for having a great menu instead of relying on some food trucks! Stay Enchanted New Mexico! read more

The hostess was a little off putting when when my group walked in and seemed unhappy when we asked to be seated at another table other than what she was offering. We were provided a ton of food menus, but there was only one beer menu at the table...sharing that between 4 people was impossible! I'm trying to decide which beers to get for my flight and was hogging the menu. When other people tried to figure out what they want to drink, they were hogging the menu...we asked for another menu and got another one for food [rolls eyes]. Please put more beer menus on the table. Anyway, we were finally all able to place our orders despite service being a bit slow. I got a flight of 4 beers and a separate beer that wasn't on tap. Out of the 5 beers I had, I only liked two. I'm a picky beer drinker so that's not very surprising. Beer was cheap tho, so that was definitely a bonus. read more

Surprisingly great food. Had the club wrap and fries. Very fresh and delicious, fries were crispy. Very cheap beer flights with a good porter and the best cherry cider ive ever had. Our waitress Destiny was very friendly and efficient. An overall nice friendly vibe with dogs welcomed. We will definitely be back! read more

Love this place! Great gluten removed beer selection and really good nachos! Staff are super friendly too

This is definitely a nice place in town! It has both indoor and outdoor sitting. It's has a nice view from the street if you sitting in the outside porch. Live music was playing during this visit. Enough and spacious sitting is available. Prices are reasonable for the most part. Customer service is present and they very helpful. Food is adequate in taste and quality. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese. The sweet potatoes are a must and so in the alien burger. Definitely recommend this place for the wings quality. read more

Great beer! Good food. What made the experience so great was our bartender, Dylan. My sister and I were in town for my grandfathers funeral. We struck up a conversation with Dylan and he made a toast to our Grandpa. Made our night! Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town. read more

We were in town for a workshop and decided to get dinner here. Huge menu with lots of different options for everybody- sandwiches, soups, salads, etc. They also had a great selection of local beers and flights if you wanted to try more than 1! Very spacious inside with lots of seating and pretty packed for an early evening weekday dinner. Our server was friendly and fast. read more

Service is okay until they forget to mention the 20% on the check for party of six. Tip on tip, I don't play that BS. Honesty counts. Average bar food at best. In doors picnic tables are cool until your ass falls a sleep. Ouch! read more

In a party of four, all of us found the food here to be very good. The Philly cheesesteak was messy, spicy, and tasty - just like a true cheesesteak should be. The burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches were also good. I wasn't impressed with the taste of my beers - both IPAs were darker and hoppier than I prefer. Our server seemed over-worked and that made it hard to put in additional orders. read more

Food was good, but the service was terrible. Not sure if I expected too much, but sat at the bar and got no conversation at all.

Great beer and food wit some specials. I would recommend the place to anyone who wants to visit this location

Came here after a family gathering to see how the place was. Took a while for a server to come over then took forever for food. Drinks were fast so that is a plus. So I can't give a lot of stars. While the place is very nice and atmosphere is great the service needs a lot of improvement. It was as if the server thought she was doing me a favor by allowing me to order food and beers, should be the other way around. She had a bad attitude read more

Good food. Big portions. Nice atmosphere. Open late (til 10). I went there with a group of friends. The long picnic tables are perfect for groups. I had the small fish and chips (with tater tots!) and it was still a big portion. The fish was excellent, crispy but not greasy. A friend got a gigantic bratwurst, another got the alien burger. Everyone was happy with their food and the craft beer. Friendly staff, too. read more

I had a great time Friday evening at Second Street. There was a live band and the place was full of great energy. I can't recall the name of the beers I had, but they were crisp and refreshing. I had an order of fish and chips with sweet potato fries and I don't know if I've had a better fish and chips dish! The exterior was perfectly battered and fried while the interior was flaky and juicy. These aren't the ones you get at Costco, that's for sure lol. read more

A nice restaurant close to Meow Wolf with both outside and inside dining. A good menu variety of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, soups/salads, specialties and kids meals. Also, a good variety of beers and wines. I had the Alien Burger which was huge, cooked just right and very good. I also tried a 4 oz sampler of the Cream Stout and Ron's Best Bitter which both were excellent. They also offer 8, 16 and 20 oz along with pitcher, 32 and 64 oz growlers. Staff was friendly, fast and attentive. Will return to try more. read more

Went to meow wolf museum to see the exhibit. Afterwards, I needed a break from all that stimulation and I was quite hungry. We found a place within .2 miles and stopped in. We were really craving pizza, and they do not serve pizza but we were desperate. I'm glad we were because the pretzel was super good!! I have been sampling the different quesos in Santa Fe. Each one is different. Some are spicy, some are mild, each has a lot of flavor!!! This one was not spicy but filled with lots of flavor. My friend got the sweet potato fries and they were probably the best ones I've ever had. I enjoy sampling beers but I'm not a big beer person. I did enjoy their sour beer but watch it it is quite tart! The bathroom was clean and the venue was very spacious. We are very glad we stopped in!!! read more

Great place for food after Meow Wolf. Came here with a large party that needed to eat and unwind after the art experience and we were very grateful to find large tables, well ventilated, heated (enough) and plenty of space between us and other patrons so we could enjoy a snack and beverage with our masks off. The cheesy spicy queso with chips and salsa, and the Steel Bender Cider, were absolutely perfect for the moment, much needed. The beer drinkers were quite content with their beers and got seconds - so they must have enjoyed them quite a bit! Alas I didn't taste, so no description here other than content beer drinkers. We also got seconds of the queso, so yummy. Service was helpful but slightly inconsistent, possibly understaffed? read more

Stopped on the way home from Arizona for supper and a brew. The Grisette is a new offering for Rod and the SSB enterprise. Stop in and sample a pint of this great, mid-week, low-ABV beverage with Belgian roots. The specials are solid good food and very reasonably priced in high-dollar Santa Fe. Park on the street and relax on the porch or inside with danceable music. read more

Great beer, great service & great atmosphere. We needed to kill some time before our meow wolf reservation & we stumbled across Second Street Brewery. So glad we did! It was the perfect afternoon vibe. read more

Taproom was okay, place wasn't busy but sign says " wait to be seated" . Waited for a awhile and waiter was not great she couldn't take our orders and continued standing at the end table taking orders while we shouted out orders instead of meeting the rest of the party of nine in the middle of the table and didn't bring menus on time. We had two family member wave around to get the waiters attention and get a bring the table napkins. Waiter couldn't refill waters and did not check on our table, was not helpful but looked more bugged. I rather continue going back to the original brewery. read more

Stopped in for a late dinner after visiting Meow Wolf. A cool and relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed the live band! Our waitress was very rushed and didn't seem very happy to be there. I ordered the Siesta Margarita. I do not recommend. It was not really a margarita. It was tequila and grapefruit juice in a small glass with no ice. I expect ice at least for a $12 margarita I asked the waitress multiple times for ice, 30 minutes later I received the ice. I ordered Christmas enchiladas and got red enchiladas, no green. The enchiladas were ok. Would not order again. My husband got the Fish and chips which he really liked. Our friends ordered the green chile stew. The stew Was vegetable soup with green chile thrown in. What was good was the beer! They have gluten free IPA! The Kolcsh was also very good. They brew on the spot. Overall we would go back because of the atmosphere and beer. read more

I love visiting breweries while traveling and I enjoyed this one. Their hazy IPA was tasty and the cheese enchiladas were really good too. I especially appreciated the service. The bartender served me even though I wasn't sitting at the bar and he was so nice and really attentive despite managing a large after work crowd. I also loved its airy vibe. The inside is decorated with plants and there's a nice deck for outdoor seating. I wanted to take a second beer to go, but they only sold four packs, so I didn't. Offering mix and match packs and/or singles would be nice for out of town visitors. read more

My husband and I were regulars at the original location on 2nd street. We were devastated when they closed down. This location on Rufina unfortunately doesn't have the same taste, ambiance or stellar customer service we became acustomed to. When we walked in on Saturday we were expecting a packed house but it was not too busy. We waited for about 10 minutes when we saw the waitress help another table that came in after us. After she was finished we motioned for her to assist us in getting drinks. She said "They were here first" talking about another table that arrived AFTER we did. Why would she say that if she had no clue of the arrival order. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have sufficed. I have been extremely disappointed with the customer service at this location and will not return. read more
