The downshift brewery is definitely a hidden gem in this noisy river village of Ruidoso New Mexico. Absolutely loved it I actually parked behind the brewery side as soon as I got out of the car very quaint place I could hear music coming out of their continued towards the village so we could shop a little bit unfortunately during memorial day weekend all the shops closed up before 6 PM. Cruised around for a minute went to quarters they were not serving food past 1 PM on Sunday unfortunately. So we went to the downshift brewery they had live music a one-man show very entertaining very diverse music from country to patriotic to rock and classics. This brewery is very inviting with a very nice assortment of IPA local beers. Definitely stop on by the atmosphere is great very inviting plus delicious food which they serve till midnight or closing time. The selection of beer is oh phenomenal cannot get over the amount of choices they offer. My favorite was the alien IPA beer definitely suggested try it out when you’re over here in town or definitely pick some up at your neighborhood grocery store. Definitely come by and check out downshift brewery in noisy river Village in Ruidoso New Mexico a great place to enjoy it have a good time. By the way this is actually a family friendly environment I took two teenage boys of 15 years old and they had a great time and enjoyed the wings the pizza and the...

First visit was pretty good. The waitress who directed me to some seating outside was prompt to come out for my order and the food was pretty good (flatbread).

Second visit there was a short wait for seating and the host sat me within 10 or so minutes of taking my name and number.

This is where it goes downhill. The wait staff this afternoon apparently can't see. After 10 minutes the host saw I hadn't been waited on at all and apologized, then found a waitress and informed her. He apologized a second time after letting me know. The waitress was curt and didn't apologize. Strike one. It seems solo diners are a nuisance. When taking my order she appeared to want me to rush and order both my drink and food at the same time.

The host is who should be getting the tip for being far more attentive than the waitress.

Third visit, I found out the kitchen is already closed at 5:30pm on a Sunday. Not sure what time they close the kitchen, but that was still with an hour and a half before their listed closing time. They still had a fair amount of customers, so you'd think there would be worth in not closing the...

Honestly, I loved the vibe and people more than the beer or food. The lady at the bar was super friendly and came outside to turn our heater on since we were out there with our pomeranian. Super sweet. Dogs aren't allowed inside from what I read on the door, but some lady walked in with her dog and hung out inside while we were outside...not sure why that was allowed or even if they knew, haha. No stouts are available, but the beers we tried were good. It was fast and easy ordering, but I was expecting so much more in the pizza. I wish it was made in-house like they claim, and I wish there were a ton more pepperoni. Wings were good, and if I was in a bind for food, as Ruidoso Restaraunts aren't open late, I would probably order them again. All in all, this place has a great vibe, friendly staff, wonderful patrons, and medicore food that I would still revisit when I'm in town.

Really enjoyed my time here. Beer selection seems pretty unprecendented for Ruidoso. Though they were out of a La Cumbre favorite of mine, the bartender recommended a rye pale ale called Rye Knot that is my new favorite. Apparently its from a local brewery that's just a month old called Lost Hiker, and I had a few tastes of a russian blonde and a stout, and both were interesting and tasty. For food, I chose the beef quesadilla off the late night menu and it was nice and green chile spicy. The only thing I'll say is that this isn't a very quiet bar, as most everyone seems a little buzzed and are having conversation with friends. Everyone I had random conversation with was friendly. I'll be back.
