This is the first time I've ever eaten here. CORIE the bar attendant did such a great job. She served other guests and turned her attention towards me to take my order. She greeted me and welcomed me to the local brewhouse, handed me a menu and asked if I'd like to have a drink. I asked her for a recommendation and she said the blonde is a good one. She gave me a small sample, it was good but I was in the mood for something fruity and had a sample of the watermelon cider. It was very good. That was what I asked her for my drink. I ordered a double burger and it was done to my satisfaction. The bun was really good too. The bar was very clean. And the variety of Music was also a welcome change. I will come Back again. Great service, great food and great environment made my visit awesome. CORIE left a great first impression in representing the bar/restaurant very well. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Terminator, "I'll be back!" read more

Old antiquated karaoke system. New songs missing. Ask KJ and he says that's what owner uses. I'll never return. Too many good karaoke places in town to waste my time. read more

Really nice staff and other customers. Football watching is great. Patio is great. Only problem was no n/a beers or mocktail ideas. I like to contribute money to the place I'm at even not drinking alcohol. read more

One of the best outdoor patios around with killer views of the Sandias. Food was good, but nothing special. Something about the ambiance was off. Another brew pub that hipster parents let their kids run amok killing the adult vibe for sure, especially on the patio. read more

honestly really bad vibes. bartender lindsey was rude. i would never waste my time or money here. wouldn't let us order an hour and a half before they closed but let everyone else around us keep ordering read more

Only giving this business a Two Star review due to, if you order a double... with no pre warning, they will charge you for two drinks. $8.50 + $8.50 for a Sky and Soda Water? I would have said.... No thank you. I like to support local businesses. Maybe I should have read more reviews. read more

The bartender was not kind. We came in to have one drink and she refused to serve us and asked us to sit down at a table when there was plenty of room at the bar. Not friendly, did not seem to want our business, won't be back. read more

if I could give 5 stars just to the karaoke DJ I would unfortunately the bartenders were the most annoying people I've probably ever met. I will NEVER be back or recommend this place because of the servers tonight. also before you get defensive; yes i had on a bikini and I grabbed a towel and a top which (let's be real you have a bartender with tits to her knees that wears a bra top but whatever) i drop my towel to dance (again I I have bottoms on) she tells me "grab your towel and get the fuck out" ok. I will, but also yall suck and I will always speak poorly of you. read more

Shout out to Rhiannon, our server for friendly, prompt, and efficient service. Well done. Shout out to the kitchen for one of the best burgers eaten in a while. The blue cheese bacon was superb. The 3 shredded beef tacos with avocado were fabulous. I could have eaten 3 more, they were so good. The location and view from this mile high location was breathtaking. I am anxious to go back again soon. read more

This is a during covid review. During covid every other patio I've been to (several) have been able to provide ice water this summer and fall. Especially when it's 100F. Not providing free water is absolutely ridiculous and should be illegal like it is in Arizona. Water is a big deal for me, and when you can serve sodas with refills, you should be able to serve tap water with refills (a healthier alternative). Otherwise, the food is the same. read more

Went there to try it out, was very surprised by the fish tacos which were flaky, crispy! Very good! Also, I ordered some deep fried mushrooms, omg! They were huge! Like take 2-3 bites to finish one. Very good! Good beer of course, nice waitress. Definitely coming back for the food. read more

Well the service here is horrible!! Me and my husband came in for a beer. We went to the outdoor area, sat at a table thinking a server would come over and ask us what we'd like, but that NEVER happened. The waitress's walked by us several times never said a word. My husband had to go back inside and order our beers and bring that out. Still no waitress ever even spoke to us. Mind you they've been out here to sever other people. We will never come here again. read more

The beer was indeed cold. The service was great. The green Chile chicken prolly was very very spicy (good but spicy) only disappointment was there was more green Chile than chicken. Loved sitting outside. read more

Had a big gathering and they could not have been more accommodating! Super friendly, professional, and a great selection of brew! Did I mention the food? Food was on point! Nothing but good things to say about this place! Stop on! You will not be disappointed! read more

My family and I were excited to check this place out and sadly, it SEVERELY disappointed ! $10 for 5 BOTTLED water because they don't offer glasses of water. Miniature burgers at $12 a pop AND the most disgusting overly seasoned meat! Fries were soggy and raw in the middle. "JUMBO" chicken wings (6) for $11... NOT JUMBO, not even close! Chicken and cheese quesadilla was so poorly seasoned our daughter took one bite and spit it out. This is NOT a kid friendly establishment. It DOES NOT have the best burgers in town. (probably the worst burger I've ever tasted ) FLIES EVERYWHERE INSIDE! We didn't sit outside for a reason. It's a bar and that's it. Don't waste your time or money! Grossly overpriced and terrible management; if there was even was a manager present! If the disrespectful, non verbal, disgruntled woman who came to pick up our burger plates was the manager I now understand why the reviews for this place are absolutely terrible and our experience was appalling. Our server was legit though and the chicken wings were pretty good just super small. read more

On a fabulous day, the blonde beer is refreshing, but dude, you need to ease up on the sour cream in the guacamole! Totally disgusting :/ Guacamole tastes great on its own with simple Ingredients. I thought this was hard appetizer to mess up until now. Seriously disappointed in such a simple thing to make. I also asked for a large guacamole and received a small amount. Seriously?? We are so close to Mexico and California so why are we dishing it out like there's a shortage? Also the server took awhile to get my second beer refill. They were having a managers meeting in the middle of the day, apparently. Can we save that for the hours we are not serving customers? How about mornings? On a better note, the last time I was here the fish tacos were good. The server I had was also pretty nice. Not her fault the guacamole wasn't up to par and she was pulled away for a discussion. At least she recognized my issue with the food. read more

Our.first visit for a take out meal tonight Recently moved to Rio Rancho and have driven by many times Fish and chips they tout on their electronic billboard out front, so that's what we had. Good sized filet of fish was tasty and mostly crispy after driving it home The fries were a bit pale, could have used a bit more time in the fryer. Coleslaw was tasty and their tarter sauce has a wee kick of horseradish in it Someday I'll enjoy a meal on their patio along with a cold beer. If covid ever lets up Until then, try their meals to go. Worthy of a stop read more

It's all fun and games till the dj bouncer starts shit with you!! Happens to everyone.. along with the songs the place socks in general a place to get free beer tho hahaha other than that it socks read more

Unprofessional business decisions has updated my review score. Will not be supporting this business any further.

Furthest bar northwest of Albuquerque in Rio Rancho. This place is an Hidden jewel of local tap beers, excellent bar food (Chicken Philly my Favorite). Freshly painted, new Dart boards, and of course corona-19 floor plan including the bar, and patio area. This local pub is worth the drive for something different, but locals already know that read more

They refuse to serve tap water. What kind of place refuses to serve water? You know they have it. It's not like it's rare if difficult to come by. read more

Been going to Local for quite some time... it is an awesome little local bar deep on the northwest side of rio rancho. The bar is a bit dark, but if you prefer some awesome Views and fresh air the patio area has plenty of room. Karaoke is fun, and the staff is beyond amazing! Heather, the manager, is awesome! The food is above average. The beer selection is awesome. I know it's a ways to travel to get there, but if you find yourself in Rio rancho and you want a place to watch sports, ufc... belt out a few songs... or have some fresh air with food and drinks... give them a try. Don't forget marble Monday's... and taco Tuesdays! The fried mushrooms are the shiz! read more

Pretty good place. We might return as it os indeed local! Food was OK and the service was very good.

Thank you, normal!....no, really.....THANK YOU!!!! Got to enjoy our nachos, (I mean totally enjoy them, with real, house cooked beans, shredded and nacho cheeses, well cooked, not greasy ground beef, ample sliced fresh jalapeños, and a side of salsa, which we poured right on top, fresh, tasty, great chip to topping ratio here!) while NOT shivering from the cold on the patio, sitting at a great table in the back of the bar, quiet enough to have great conversation, and tentative servers stopping by to check on us and to chat. The only shivering we did was when we picked up our icy cold pints, and sipped of the Bosque and Marble brews of our choices. There's a rolling digital sign out front that scrolls to "coldest beer in town"....they ain't lying! So wonderful to have enjoyed inside, oh, kinda like normal people used to do once upon a time! Loved this visit! read more

Very impressed with this place that is so close to home! The drinks are fantastic. The food is delicious, and the music is great (80's to current). We will definitely be back!! read more

Food is not worth the price. Party got a mixture of burgers and fries. Not worth the price at all. Got a few margaritas and they were awful do not get them. Beer is fine. Server forgot EVERYONES food, but they seemed to find it ok to give themselves a nice gratuity even though the service was terrible. Bad food, bad prices, bad service. Beer is ok. read more

The management has to train there employees. I went to have my birthday dinner. The hostess was very nice. If I was the manager I would have fired the waiter. We sat for over 10 minutes our waiter walked passed us 4 times, cleaned a table for people that came in after us. Didn't offer drinks nothing. We left. Never again read more

5:55PM today was the first time to try The Local Brewhouse. Maybe 20% occupancy and we waited 10 minutes before I had to greet the waitress because she never made eye contact with us the several times she walked by. I waited almost 5 beside her while she worked on the refister. I finally asked if we seat ourselves and she said yes. I had to then ask for menus and she said she would be with us in a minute. 10 minutes later of her walking past without any eye contact again, we left. That's 30 minutes we won't get back. We also won't be back. Its a shame when you try to support local businesses and this happens. LJS got our money for fish Friday. read more

Hell f'N no, not a chance in the world, for starters- personally I don't trust a bar/kitchen, when you don't even see the chef or cooks behind the wall, I know it's not a restaurant but it's a thing for me. Walked in , smelled funny. Bartender was obnoxious when she waa trying to mask it as welcoming for no reason, lady you don't know me & your "charisma" sucks. I can find a hundred b****y bartenders just like you in my city, you're not unique. And yeah just weird atmosphere, they had the live music stage lit up but no band. read more

I drove way out of my way to support Steve and the Local Brewhouse recently. It was totally worth it! Our waitress Jess was amazing. She was really fun and attentive. We got the fried pickles, fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks. The portions were great and they were all yummy (my pictures were well after we started eating them)! My vanilla stout beer was amazing too (thanks for the samples before we decided Jess)! I got the Steve burger with side salad and it did not disappoint. I had to take half of it home. My brother got the Bleu burger and he really enjoyed it. My friend got the wings and he said they were great! They do not have a full menu or specials yet and the prices are a bit higher. That's to be expected after being shut down for months. Also if you want water you need to purchase a bottle. Again, it's not business as usual so no biggie. The beer and food selection are really good, the staff is great and the food is yummy! Thanks Steve. We will be back! read more

Worst service ever! I can't stress on how bad the service was. We got our drinks 30 minutes after we ordered. I had to wait an additional 20 Minutes to get check, this place needs additional employees to make sure everyone is taken care of. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Nice environment...great staff...food is just okay...a bit overpriced.

Our server was great she recommended the fish & chips it was amazing . She was amazing as well great place ,

Decided to go out for happy hour one Friday night and BOOM. wound up with a hangover and some great memories. This is a bar. It's not a brewery. That being said, it's probably one of the best bars in town on a Friday night. Yes I said best. Not nicest, or fanciest, or anything like that. They just have a great vibe going on in there. Our bartender was super nice and charismatic. They had probably 20 awesome local beers on tap as well as a full bar. I drank desert fog by marble which is one of my favorite beers pretty much all night. And then the karaoke started. Me and my fiancé sang our asses off with a bunch of other semi talented people well into the the night and everyone had a great time. The room was full but not packed. Everyone had a seat. Food was great. We had the nachos and the fried mushrooms. Both were tasty bar food. Not super fancy but got the job done for sure. All in all the place has a great atmosphere with friendly faces and fun karaoke, decent enough food and tons of beer choices. What's not to love? read more

We stopped in for our first time. The atmosphere is like a bar, nothing fancy. They did have outdoor seating, which I prefer. We waited for a few, but that's ok. Like many businesses these days, they seemed to be short of help. I asked to try the queso as my favorite place is no longer in business. Sorry, but it tasted like a can! I won't be ordering that ever. Their chips and salsa was pretty good. We'll try them again just because they have other things to try. read more

I'm going to give this place 3.5. We sat at the bar and had one beer, juice and fried mozzarella sticks, tax and tip $25,00. I understand that costs have risen, but these kind of prices will keep us at home. You may be covering your costs, but I'm not seeing the value. On a good note, the bartender was cordial and friendly, but the establishment was no big deal. read more
