Rio Bravo Brewing Company: Reviews & Ratings
Rio Bravo Brewing Company was one of our final stops on our New Mexico brewery tour, and they truly left an impression. It was early morning back in October 2024, and we had the pleasure of chatting with the manager and owner--what a great way to kick off the day! We even shared stories about our "Beer Church" in Taylor, TX, and they sent us on our way with a crowler that our whole group absolutely loved. Not only did we get a warm welcome and insider recommendations (they tipped us off about Quarter Celtic, another hit on our tour), but the facility itself was immaculate with plenty of seating and outdoor covered seating, making our early breakfast visit that much more enjoyable. The beer was delicious--a perfect start to the day--and we couldn't help but wish we had more time to hang around. If you're ever in Albuquerque, definitely stop by Rio Bravo Brewing Company. They truly stand out as stellar beer people, and we look forward to returning on a future visit!
Driving thru Albuquerque and found this gem! Food was great, beer was great and service was great!!!
We stopped for lunch during the balloon festival and were not disappointed! Great food and drink and spectacular service. Stop in for a drink, a nosh, or both!
Love their food and beer selection, this is hands down my favorite brewery to hit up. The Very Demure beer is a new favorite, almost makes up for a previous beer they had that they no longer do. Their chef is top notch, I've never had any bad food here. Highly recommend!!
Staff, food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing! This was the best out of 4 places I tried while in town by far! Do yourself a favor and check them out!
I agree with their owner, "Rio Bravo Brewing is not just a brewery; it is a destination! Rio Bravo Brewing is not just a brewery; it is a destination!" Visiting from MD, we highly enjoyed our last few visits to Rio, and again they did not disappoint-two years later & they are only expanding their craft- fantastic brews- the staples we loved were still as delicious, their new offerings were bold flavor unique profiles- street parking was a lot easier this time, with an expanded lot-less unnerving we enjoyed the outside patio ambiance & easy QR code menu, with the attentive helpful bartender, super friendly offering samples, other brewery suggestions for our self-made beer tour, and where to buy for home advice always happy to return! we will be back.
What a great spot! Dog friendly! We went on a weekday and were lucky to find space outside on the patio so we had room for our dog that is in the middle of training. The food was delicious (chicken sando was incredible) and the beers were spot on. Parking was easy. Best of all the crew that took care of us and our pup were fantastic.
