Red River Brewing Company & Distillery

The on tap beer 🍻 options are many and great tasting. The food is very good and service was fast. I highly recommend eating here.

Came here off of a recommendation from my son who lives in Española, NM. He is into the newer generation of local breweries.
This place is very nice and clean. They are keeping strict on the Covid safety mandates and the environment and atmosphere is a great feel.

We had the chicken wings to start. Good flavor but I would've like them cooked a bit longer for a crispier skin. (My preference)

My wife had the traditional NM hatch green chili burger: okay flavor. Meet cooked well but it didn't taste like it had any seasoning on it. The green chili was mild but still had good flavor.

I had a BBQ plate with brisket and ribs. Now I'm from Texas, where BBQ is like water. We take it serious and to compare others is IMHO not a contest. Now that I've beaten my chest, i will say that i was impressed with their efforts. First off they served me a lot of meat for the price. One heck of a deal. Only $15 for the plate. Back home that would cost maybe $20.
Next, the brisket was not as dry as it looked. However it did lack a bit of flavor. I like it where you take the black on the outside. The ring was a start but could be a bit deeper. To me it enhances the flavor.

Now the fixin's were EXCELLENT. You won't go wrong with the potatoe salad or the baked beans.

The BBQ sauce was very tasty. Wow.

Loved the Lite Blonde i had. Smooth and crisp.

I will definitely recommend this place and come back when we come thru again.

Great food, great atmosphere, good service. They are still working out some kinks in the kitchen, but in their defense, they were swamped when we were there.

They gave us some free chips and salsa and checked on us often.

Beer was excellent and they offer a wide selection. I'm looking forward to trying all they have to offer during our stay in Red River.

If you like spicy, I highly recommend the Ghost Burger, it doesn't disappoint and bring the heat.

Everyone in our group was able to find something they liked.

If you have a chance to catch a live band there, the acoustics are great both inside and outside the restaurant.

Stopped in for supper,wife and I both had the half order of BBQ ribs,sides of potato salad and bbq beans delicious, as was wifes margarita,generous portion of ribs,must say they sucked,toughest meat I have ever been served,especially for being so pricey, don't recommend the ribs,yuck my dog enjoyed them though!

Tried a sampler and was happy with all my choices. Not a coffee fan but am a fan of porters and stouts. Both the porter and stout had strong reflections of coffee so I was a bit disappointed but my wife who is a coffee fan loved both of them. I can’t hold that against the brewery for my personal taste. With that said I found comfort in some of their other beers. Atmosphere is welcoming with great Mountain Views, great music, and great staff.

This brewery/restaurant is the crown jewel of Red River. Excellent beer, excellent food and excellent service! You can't go wrong at this place. Family friendly, dog friendly and beer lover friendly. I can't recommend it enough. Try it! You will not be disappointed!

Great atmosphere and views. We did not try the beer this time, as we still had a ways to drive, but the Hatch Green Chili burger was fantastic.

My whole experience here was truly one of a kind. I sat at the bar and had the chance to talk with Stephen who recommended wonderful drinks and amazing places in the area to check out. Service was sublime and I can’t wait to come back :)

A busy Sunday afternoon, lots of people but totally worth the wait. We had the Ruben and a hamburger with chips and salsa. The servers were fast and friendly. We’ll be back!

Great environment. Really cool beer flights. I'm a wing-eating- machine... and the chile garlic wings weren't up to par. Not crisp. Not complex. Smothered in sauce. Maybe I just ordered wrong. But I only ate 3 of a 6 count. They were $9. Steep on price. Also ordered the nachos. What's make great nachos? A lot of cheese! These skimped on the cheese. 2 strikes for me on the apps. I've been coming to RR for 15 years... and the kids at the table next to us ordered the MILE HIGH ICE CREAM PIE. Photo attached. They devoured it... and it looked amazing. Priced at $9.50... fed the entire table! They said it was amazing. Worth a stop when you're in town.
