    Great band and axe throwing. Had a great time here!!

    Hard working staff!! My kids did the axe throwing. The owner on-site made sure everything was good. Had a great time.

    Just my kind of place. I love the dives. Dim enough that you can't tell if it's clean, the air smells like a party with a hangover. Properly used duck tape on the stools and the drinks are cheap. The bar tender was friendly and talkative but not in the annoying way. I could spend my day here.

    Thai place is cool, the outdoor patio is nice and we loved the axe throwing lanes! A bit pricy to throw the axes but worth it!

    Gettin a drink

    We stopped in while strolling around Friday evening the drinks were reasonably priced and the band was great!

    Super packed at WPS

    Honestly.... This place seemed like something out of a really crazy country movie! If you love dancing, if you love country music this place is for you. It's something you have to experience for yourself and it makes it even more legit when a local invites you and makes it seem like it's a super secret, low-key place! I'm giving it three stars only because it's just a bar and it's only really practical if you go at night but if I could give stars for experience and ambiance it would be a five no doubt

    Love this place, its definitely where the locals hang out. Great live music. The daytime bartender Virgil is a crusty old school dude. You definitely have to be careful where you sit at the bar because you dont want to be caught sitting one of the regulars bar stool or you might get your butt kicked!!! You might want to wear a cowboy hat to fit in!!

    Meh. Dive. Owner is cranky as hell. Normally those things would make me happy, but here it is depressing. The day after the owner throws in the towel, this place will be closed and open as yet another potpourri/chili pepper/tshirt shop.

    Great little dive with a dance floor big enough to two step and enjoyed the live band. We had a great time while visiting Riudoso!

    First off, been here before, the food was good, the beer was better than most in El Paso. But I'll…read morenever go back here or recommend it to anyone coming to Ruidoso. Called inquiring about reservations, told it's first come first serve and I should expect about a 15-20 min wait. Showed up, 3 adults w/ 3 kids at 5:30. Was told I was the 2nd name behind an 11 top, and should be able to be seated in 5 min due to a few tables just waiting to be cleared upstairs. 20 mins later I watched them clear a 6 top at the front door downstairs, then split it so they could seat two tables of 4 who had shown up after my family. After waiting another 10 min I asked about how long we were looking at, the woman at the door told me she would go upstairs and check on the table, she returned to inform me that I was now looking at probably 20 min before we could be seated. We left... I don't know if the elderly woman working as a hostess at the door is an owner, a wife, family friend, or simply a pity hire due to her old age, but she has no business working customer service at a restaurant. She lied to me and several other groups about wait times, and seating availability only to double down several times about how soon we will be seated. She obviously has zero idea about how food service works, customer service relations, or kitchen service/food service times. Side note: an obviously drunk group of six made their way in during my wait, the bartender had no issue serving them, fingers crossed they weren't driving home, but I doubt anyone is that lucky.

    Everything here was great. The service was awesome and they have a great selection of beer on tap…read morewhich we loved. They do not appear to serve liquor though so be prepared for that. The homemade salsa was fantastic. It was so garlicky and had a good kick thank you for seasoning your food! And the burger, that was a backyard, 4th of July type burger. It was great!
