I had saved going to Tumbleroot Pottery Pub on my list of things to do in Santa Fe and after a trip to the Georgia O'Keefe museum and lunch we saw it was close by and decided to head in! So glad that we did since we were warmly welcomed and were given friendly, detailed info from the staff member there about the pottery/pub, about the air dry clay, and let us taste some beer before selecting. I had the Mexican Lager and my partner had the pale, and with our clay in hand we were ready to create. I felt no pressure at all and had all the info needed to make something. The staff member there was very helpful, and even gave each table a little dried fruit and nuts to snack on. I loved the vibes here, and it was a really fun affordable activity! I really recommend it! I will cherish the tray I made and remember the yummy beer and friendly staff! read more

What a fun concept! It's a brewery. It's a distillery. It's a pottery shop where you can buy a pound of clay and make your own creation. We came just for drinks midday. Weekday day drinking! My wife had a bee's knees cocktail and I did the beer flight. Both are served in pottery vessels. Quality of the beer was very good. Staff were super friendly. read more

Hi all!!! So, we stopped in this amazing place today and we're not disappointed. 1lb of clay for 16$ to create anything you want! And you get to take it home same day! The drinks were great, and the staff were polite and friendly! Will stop in again next time we are in Santa Fe! Dan & Lexi read more

Stumbled upon this absolute gem of a business while wandering around Santa Fe. My 12-yr old son and I spent a blissful 2 hours enjoying their specialty drinks (I had a cocktail and he had a delicious soda made to order) while working on clay creations. We could have easily spent more time there if we hadn't had to leave for an appointment. I live in LA and I've never found a place quite like this - family friendly yet hip, chill, cool but not so cool that we felt out of place. Prices are reasonable for the quality and service. They have everything you need to make a piece of pottery that's ready to take home (you don't need to wait to kiln-fire). Absolutely loved it! read more

We went to the pottery pub while on a walking eating and drinking tour. This is our second stop in. We had a beer flight as well as a cocktail flight. My wife had a cocktail flight and said she absolutely loved the ingredients. Come to find out that the owner was a chemist and I may be wrong and he really figured these drinks out. There are a lot of other libations available such as Mezcal, etc. my beer flight was really really superb. We saw a group coming in to work with the pottery and have some fun drinking there libations. Really cool place and nice people. read more

Tumbleroot Pottery Pub - Cocktail and beer flight - Bars Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I absolutely love the concept of this business and it's a great way to spend a few hours. It's a cocktail lounge combined with a pottery studio and the whole experience was so much fun. From the friendly bartender and creative cocktails, to the cozy space and beer that they brew themselves, each element worked together so well. They sell a few small snack items but if you're working with the clay I think it would be difficult to eat at the same time. A large hunk of clay only costs $16 and they have all the tools you'll need. You work at your own pace and even if you don't have much experience with clay it's fun just to be an artist for a bit. You're then able to paint it and the specific type of clay they use is self-dry. Because of this, it dries with a darker matte finish so it's probably not going to be your prized masterpiece but it's really about the experience. read more

Went to the brewery for St. Patrick's Day. Got a raffle drawing win of pottery class and some cocktails. They exchanged the classes for SWAG. got sweatshirts, and it feels weird to rave about a zip up hoodie, but I wear it everywhere. The canned cocktails are great, and we have a nice little pottery cup. My wife and I are 100% going back there next time we visit Santa Fe. read more

Really great place. Pottery stations were perfectly stocked and a great experience. Loved the staff including the staff dog!

I brought some friends here when they visited, and it was such a great experience. If you are looking for a fun and relaxed spot with good drinks, this is the place. It works well for date night, hanging out with a group, or even family gatherings. You can do pottery or simply enjoy a drink. Street parking is available. The customer service was excellent. I did not catch the bartender's name, but he was extremely nice, helpful, and kind to everyone. He made some amazing drinks, and I will definitely be back. Overall, this is a really cool spot in a great location with a nice atmosphere inside. Please support this local business if you are visiting Santa Fe or if you are a local looking for something fun to do. read more

Wow! My daughter and I were lucky enough to tumble upon (see what I did there?) this great spot on a Sunday afternoon! Great concept, super groovy, friendly employee/bartender, and a definite must visit on any trip to Santa Fe!! read more

My friends and I stumbled across this place and had some nice employees on break tell us outside to check it out and we're glad they did! This is one of the coolest experiences I've had. You can order drinks and tapas and create whatever you'd like with your slab of clay. It's a cocktail bar where you can create pottery. It was my first time visiting a place like this. Slab of clay is $15 and you get a pound and they have all the tools you need at tables and a paint station to paint your creation if you'd like. Service is 5/5 everyone is super chill and cool. They even brought out complementary snacks for everyone which was super sweet of them and delicious. They also have non-alcohol drinks, authentic Mexican hot chocolate, and teas. Definitely a cute date spot or night out with your friends. 5/5 def recommend! It was so cool. read more

Cool place with good entertainment. They have a good selection of draft beer and a friendly vibe!

Such a fun unique spot for a quick drink! Would love to come back for some crafting! Adding phots of the menu so folks can see it (: read more

I've seen the sign advertising this place but just hadn't been yet... now we will definitely go again! A fun, chill place for a good drink and tapas if you're feeling snacky. The draw for me was playing with clay and making my own sculptures! A great date spot, for clay it's $9 per person. There was tons of tools and paint to create your masterpiece. The atmosphere was calm and groovy allowing you to get into the flow of your creative process with a yummy drink in tow. This place also sells local artist's pottery! read more

You down wit TPP? Yeah, you know me. Like many of the reviewers, I stumbled upon the pub after finding out the Georgia O'Keeffe museum had sold out, so this was a nice consolation after missing out on all those paintings of beefy axe-wound flowers. Because people are stumbling upon this pub, maybe it should be called Stumbleroot. Anyway, the place is so chill they should paint icicles on the walls. The guy behind the bar didn't give us a hard sell. Or even a soft sell. Don't.. don't you want me? It was almost an anti-sell. He waited until I asked, and he was like, "oh, yeah, we have clay..." I almost sculpted a brick in my pants when I found out it was only $9 for a pound of clay, with the tools, paint, and time included. I think if people knew it was that straightforward and cheap, they would dive in. Best of all, it kept us off our phones. Plus, it's a chill bar with unique offerings. I got a giant Japanese lager for $5. Plus, they have Open Mics (Wed), live jazz (Summer Sundays), and live music (first Fridays). Artisanal and organic, it's a very hipster offering that joyfully welcomes tourists with open, heavily tattooed arms. So... for this reason, Tumbleroot was one the best experiences we had in Santa Fe, and one of my most recommended businesses anywhere. It's an enormously inviting, unique, memorable, and cheap way to enjoy a beverage, perfect for first dates, couples, friends, families, co-workers, and people looking for exciting new ways to ruin their new Double RL shirt. By the way, the Reporter's "Best of Santa Fe" listed Tumbleroot the #1 Best Bar a second year in a row (for "top-notch locally made drinks" and being an all-inclusive music venue). PS. (The Small Print). The paint selection is bare (they had no white which is limiting), but it's hard to complain since it's free. Maybe they could offset this by charging $1 for paint. The pottery will air dry overnight, so hopefully you have the next day to retrieve it. It's not waterproof, so don't make shot glasses. And it's fragile (my cat whiskers and gas can handle fell off), so don't make handcuffs. And, try as you might, it's nearly impossible to summon Patrick Swayze's ghost. read more

Jeremy made our first time experience an amazing one. Such a welcoming soul that sealed our good time! The flight of mojito, mule, margarita, and the Paloma was right on! We came as a family. 6 year old and a baby, was able to enjoy a drink with some creativity. Already want to come back with my husband for date night! read more

We stumbled on this place this afternoon when we were strolling downtown, looking for a quick drink. We live near Tumbleroot Brewery & love it, so we were excited to see this new location & their UNIQUE, FUN idea! "The marriage of suds & mud" is their motto. The owner of Tumbleroot's wife is a potter & they had this business "baby"... BRILLIANT! It was warm & cozy inside on this cold & sleeting night; every table was full! Lots of smiles & deep conversations while we all worked on our entertaining creations. I wish there was a way to do more advanced (fired) work.... Right now, it's just air-dry clay. Maybe later.. (or maybe they have special events like that on the calendar? I haven't looked at the website yet.) We spontaneously called a couple of friends & they popped over to join us - curious about this new place! We had a great time & we'll DEFINITELY go back! read more

Tumbleroot pottery is so fun! Good vibes, good people, good art. You get a pound of clay for $16 and all the supplies and time in the world to create a masterpiece. Drinks were good and served in unique pottery. This is such a fun concept and there should be more of these around the country. read more

After an afternoon on a hot, sunny day walking the Sante Fe plaza we were looking for somewhere to stop for a drink and just happened to find this place and we were so fortunate ! Pottery and drinks a perfect combination. The owners are a husband and wife team , the wife a potter and the husband a brewer, and both so welcoming and nice. We tried a flight and each drink is served in handmade pottery glasses and cups, so unique and available to purchase. Drinks are served with a small plate of snacks. There is plenty of pottery to purchase but you can also purchase a ball of clay to create your own . The vibe is calm, relaxing and chill. Absolutely loved the combination of talents. Definitely will return, read more

In my opinion, Tumbleroot is absolutely one of the best ways to spend an evening in Santa Fe and ended up being one of the highlights on my recent trip to the area. Located in a friendly and relaxed space off the Plaza, we stumbled in to this pottery studio and mixology bar on a whim. For a paltry sum, we each received a huge ball of clay and just went wild for nearly two hours, making a variety of handicrafts that really took me back to primary school days. In addition, the drinks, particularly the margaritas, were perfect, even though I found myself having to remind myself to take a break from all the fun to take a sip- imagine that! A perfect evening over drinks and conversation making your own souvenirs, I'd go every weekend if I could. read more

We found this place through searching Yelp of what places to visit. I am so glad we came here, getting drinks and for $9 you get a good amount of clay to mold. The service was great, and we had a blast here. read more

New, hip spot in Santa Fe. Literally stumbled upon this gem after visiting the Georgia O'Keefe museum. Clever takes on standard cocktails using their unique spirits. Tapas is offered with each drink. Drinks are served in handmade pottery that is also for sale. Music was happening with a two person band. Female singer was fabulous (sorry I do not remember their name). Cool, different space. read more

I brought my meetup group to Tumbleroot Pottery Pub for our inaugural meeting. The bartender was an incredible host and they do accommodate big groups with a little advance notice, we were a group of about 15. Really love the calm, quiet vibe they've created. I will definitely be back. read more

We did not participate in the pottery making but did participate in beverage sampling! Only one person was working when we came in and she was hopping! The bathroom is several floors up and requires a code. Lots of pottery to look at while you're waiting. The drinks were pleasant and we would be happy to return! Enjoy! read more

It's a pottery club that happens to do drinks! We had 2 margaritas and they were OK- not spectacular. If you like to do pottery art and drink tea it's your best to go. Otherwise go to an actual bar. They also sell their creations there, kind of pricey! read more

This was such a fun experience. The bartender was sweet and personable and made us excellent drinks very quickly. She also came to check on us multiple times and was interested in our pottery. It only cost $9 to get a ball of clay and there were lots of tools available to play with. My sister and I are not talented artists but we had a blast drinking and playing with clay. It doesn't need to be fired in a kiln so we were able to take it home the same day. read more

Love this spot so much! Great cocktails, amazing atmosphere, and so fun to play with clay. Turning in to a classic, must-go spot in Santa Fe

What a fun way to spend the afternoon - delicious cocktails and fun clay crafting! Very nice bartenders and studio assistant folks. Relaxing and lovely! read more

Really fun date night idea - drinks and getting to know strangers! The clay is really cheap and the staff is super nice.

Yes! So much fun and such a unique concept. I definitely suck at artistic things like this but it was still fun to have a drink with my family and built stuff out of clay. Wish we had these in Colorado! read more

Pretty space and nice drink selection. Went in January with a group of friends and we all had a nice time crafting up air dry clay goodies. The tools provided were mostly sufficient for straightforward designs ~ except for any type of wire or string to cleanly remove larger pieces from the table (staff member said their last one had broken earlier that day), may or may not be replaced by now. read more

What a surprise! We tried this place on a whim and were tickled with our experience. I'm not a big pottery fan, but the novelty of drinking craft cocktails out of bespoke pottery vessels was fun.

Excellent and refreshing on draft beverages served by excellent bartender! We enjoyed a cool drink after walking the plaza while waiting for our dinner reservation. Unique tall boy handcrafted "glasses" , great conversation and unique corner pub. We'll be back read more

What a cool concept! We spent several hours here just working g on clay and sipping great drinks. A must visit when in Santa Fe.

This was an amazing, joyous, delicious, delightful surprise! Tumbleroot has absolutely delicious beer, cocktails, gin...whatever your pleasure! They brew and distill thoughtfully and skillfully. And then to take the experience over the top, for an amazing price you can make a piece of pottery with your own two hands - something simple or complex, useful or decorative. Friendly doesn't really describe the proprietor - warm, inviting, but gave us space. Perfect. This experience was the highlight of our 3 days in Santa Fe. So cool. read more

We were staying at the El dorado hotel and were disappointed in the generic offerings at the hotel and the place across the street. But just a short walk away we found this place . Absolutely fantastic craft micro distilled cocktails and cheaper than the generic crap we were getting at the other places . An interesting non bar vibe in a pottery store. They even bring you a little snack with your drink . It felt locally authentic rather than all southwesterny tourist oriented like a lot of other stuff around the plaza read more
