Dinner with friends. Had a pretzel (pricey but tasty; love that beer cheese & real mustard), fish & chips, and the green chili burger with salad. Fish looked overcooked but tasted better than it looked (unadorned presentation). Burger was excellent and with a generous side salad. Oktoberfest beer was superb, and the oatmeal stout equally tasty. Great service from Devan. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to us, we walked in on karaoke night, which was genuinely rugged, at times criminal, with a couple relief highlights.

Not my favorite beer among the local breweries, but five stars for being the only conveniently located brewpub we could find in town, vs. everyone else that relies on rotating food trucks. Still a GABF and WBC winner (hoppy pils). Hop vines were cool. Huge servings of Brussels Sprouts. Burnt tacos are a good deal and an unusual meal. Enjoyed it!

I’m pissed because the food was good. I got Mac & Cheese w/ Chicken & fries. (To-go) I never got the chicken but I got the fries and Mac and cheese. & I’m pissed because the Mac & Cheese was DELICIOUS! After not receiving the chicken I was mad, but then I took a bite of the Mac & cheese & it hit all the right spots. The Mac was tender. The cheese was creamy and cheesy. Even after eating it an hour after ordering, it was still creamy and had a cheese pull. We also got some beer on tap while we waited for our food and they were both good. I got the NM Lager Lime & my mom got the IPA. Both were delicious. The waitress was also very nice & she was very attentive even when she was by herself & had other tables. I will definitely go back. Especially to try that chicken!

Good food, good beer. Quiet area, just off Old Town. Kind of sterile outside, but they had live hop plants growing there, which is cool. They had a good live band playing inside, which was nice.

First Time visit ABQ after moving away years ago. Met two of my good friends here for dinner and the from the moment you walk in you just feel so welcomed. The food was great! My buddies got tacos which looked amazing, I had the pretzel thinking it would be a light small bite. It was huge, flavorful and filling. Obviously then brew all their beers in house which makes for a unique experience. And the server was just si sweet and very attentive. Would highly recommend giving this place a visit!

Cool brewery close to Old Town. The beers are great. Food is very good. They used to have happy hour specials which made it much more fun and reasonable but it’s still a fun place to visit. The Oktoberfest is really good. The IPA’s are very good too. They forgot a key ingredient in our salad too, which they need to be more careful about. Portion sizes were nice.

The best brewery in town. The food and beer are all fantastic! I continue to go back, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend. Be sure to hit Old Town following your visit.

I was finally able to visit Ponderosa Brewing Company and I was not disappointed. The appetizers were awesome! They have a great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining. We had to sit outside but it was well shaded and they had water misters to help with the heat. The beer selections were ice cold and refreshing. The 90's music was also a good touch. It's worth visiting. Plenty of parking and also souvenirs to take home. Give it a try!

First time in. We only tried two of the brews, but they were delicious, the gold metal winner Italian pilsner and the blood orange double wit. Wonderful for a hot summer day. We had the nachos too, absolutely hit the spot. Service and friendliness superb, enjoyed meeting Donna, we will be back to try more.

Courtney was awesome and super cute. I told her that Ponderosa was not a brewery due to its lack of Edison light bulbs. She returned shortly with the required bulb and made it official! They offer a 10 beer flight so you can try everything. I really enjoyed the Nicolaus and Spanglish! The food was perfection! Make a trip to the Ponderosa.
