    Great bingo
    Francisco S.

    Canteen Brewhouse is located at the industrial brewery area near I-25. The patio is huge, versatile, and comfortable in nice weather. It is also great for the events they hold, Including music shows and drag bingo. Today, we had the great fortune to participate in drag bingo organized by the Imperial Sovereign Court of NM and it was a ton of fun and joy. Our servers were quite busy with a full house, but were quite on it through out the event. Kudos for the bartender for that awesome placement of the flight by color! My selection included the citranova, pink warrior, autumn rose, no schwarz, and luminaria stout. The cottsnovs was the best in flavor while the pink warrior had a great color, but lacked the fruity flavor I was hoping for. The rest of the beers were ok. For our food, I ordered the New Mexiterrainean and my friend ordered the Brewmeister. Both sandwiches had a good amount of protein but they were just average. Overall, the ambiance, music events, and other events makes this place quite special and fun. The food and beer are nice ways to compliment the fun.

    Amazing little spot. Too bad it was the end of our evening so I could only try one of their brews. They have so many choices! On night of my visit they had live music too. We also got a pretzel and it was tasty and hit the spot. They have a book exchange too!

    First time visit to Canteen Brewhouse. I was invited to come after the 5K race my BIL was in. I arrived as soon as they opened. They were still setting up, but we were allowed to seat wherever, so I chose a round table in the corner, closest to the restrooms. A kind server took my order and explained a few things. She gave the kids paper and crayons to entertain themselves. She suggested the Housemade Root Beer 16oz vs 20oz since you get a Free refill, so I ordered that. I also ordered the German Pretzel with fondue (but they were out), so it came with ranch and spicy mustard, and the Cubano Sandwich. I received my root beer right away, and waited about 10 min for the pretzel. Then, rest of my party joined us. I waited about 30 min before asking about the Cubano Sandwich, in which another server said that they were pretty backed up, showing us the long tickets. We were also next to the food export station. So, I had been eyeing it for awhile. I tried to give them benefit of the doubt, but I can tell that my ticket was misplaced bc as it started getting busier, everyone else was getting their food and drink orders already. Finally, after an hour, I spoke up, and that server said that it could've gotten lost, and that she'll get it out ASAP. Thankfully, another server started to take the rest of the party's orders, so I added a Green Chile Hummus with tortilla chips, thinking that it would arrive sooner. Eventually, after everyone got their food, my Cubano Sandwich and Hummus arrived at separate times. The Sandwich was hot and the cheese was stretchy at least. It got really chaotic as time progressed bc majority of customers were the racers. So, I understand the service was trying their best without a kitchen and just a bar. I got my root beer refill and asked if I could get another To-Go, which was supposed to be an extra charge. I waited as long as I could before we had to leave. The server had forgotten, and was nowhere to be found. But before I left, I went to the restroom. When I came out, the first server I had was apologetic and gave me the root beer To-Go, and said that there was no charge. I knew already bc I had already paid my tab. That was nice of her, but had I not gone to the restroom, I wouldn't have known. Lol I think the servers share/pool tips bc at least 4 ppl helped get our orders, dropped off orders, and helped distribute our tabs, which we pay on the spot with their portable handheld device. Everything was digital, and you can text your receipt to you, which was so convenient. Overall, I enjoyed the company and the food and drink. The ambiance was a little chaotic, but they conveniently have stations where you can grab your own To-Go containers, condiments like ketchup and mustard (maybe bc we were so close to the server/ food export station), and water stations. I really liked the Root Beer, though tasted a little flat, the flavor is great. The Pretzel was served warm, and was sad about the lack of cheese sauce, Spicy mustard was actually really spicy like wasabi (spice went up my nose), so I had to dip it lightly, and the ranch was just ranch. Cubano was salty, by great with the chips. But FYI, I should have looked at the online photos bc I thought it would look like a real Cuban Sandwich (which in hindsight looked like the Turkey Sandwich that was panini pressed). Hindsight, I wished I had ordered that. The Hummus was tasty with a kick, but I was full by that point. I would recommend bc their drinks look legit, and their hot food isn't bad.

    Great patio with Adirondack chairs! Awesome relaxing vibe and tasty beer! Service was great and friendly and they have their own parking lot.

    Outdoor patio with plenty of covered and uncovered seating.

    Love the offbeat vibe and location of this place. Great service. Live music on Sundays 4-7!! Great Frito Pie.

    Pigmac and chocolate milk stout.

    I came to Canteen for Brain Gang Trivia a couple of weeks ago and have returned twice since then. Good food, great beer, and a pleasant atmosphere make it enjoyable. So far I've tried their porter and the blackberry lime wheat beer, both really tasty. Tonight I'm enjoying A Work of Heart chocolate milk stout - delicious! Canteen also offers going sandwiches. Last time I had the Frenchy (pork loin, Brie, caramelized onions) and tonight is the Pigmac - pulled pork, bbq sauce, Cheddar, and green chile slaw. So good!

    On a road trip and stopped by for some refreshment. Great German style beer and great Cuban! Even though it was very hot outside the patio was still breezy and comfortable. Loved the Helles!

    Canteen is always a great spot to have a beer and grab a light bite. They are one of the most community involved breweries. The staff is always friendly, they allow pets, have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of shade, plenty of heat warmers and plenty of parking.

    Do they offer any gluten free beers?

    I think so. Sometimes they run out of a particular beer. I would call and ask to be sure or text them.

First, I have gone to this place off and on for several years. I find it a nice change of pace from the rest of the world. Second, it is a little funky, even for Albuquerque. The owners seem to want to be "Austin like." In a funny sort of way, I think it gets there. It reminds me of the All-Good Cafe in Dallas. Maybe if there was some live music ala All Good, it would seal the deal. Food was good. It was served hot. Everyone got their orders around the same time. Two in the group are vegetarians. The menu had options for them to choose from. I had the Klasic Kosmic Burger with cheese and bacon and a side salad. The salad was big enough to share or have as an entrée. The burger was a little overcooked but good. Lots of bacon!! Next time I will split the order with my wife. My wife had the fish and chips. She could not eat the whole meal and brought some home. The spudnik fries were terrific - hot with a crunchy outside. Two in the group had the afghan rice. They thought the dish was good. Beer and wine is served. Parking is easy and plentiful. The place has patio - I look forward to summer afternoons on the porch. Overall: good choice. Lot of good feedback from the Loungers.

    I've been here twice now, and my first experience was way better than last night…read more Our waiter was pretty, obviously out of it, potentially high, and at one point her clothing actually brushed the food on the table as she went to rearrange plates on our table top. She also seemed very distracted and did not have good recall when we were putting in our orders. She came back several times to ask what our drink orders were before finally bringing over the tablet to enter in the information right in front of us. Secondly, our food took forever to come. This also happened the first time we came to eat at social house a year ago, but it felt more pronounced this time. And the restaurant was not full. Probably a third full of patrons? We were seated at 6:45 and our food did not arrive until 830. Quite the wait if you ask me. Finally, the kitchen was having some sort of smoke issue. If you've never been in an establishment where the grease smell and smoke is visibly accumulating in the air, you know it's quite distracting from a dining experience. It was so smoky inside. I actually caught myself blinking my eyes to see if it was just my vision being blurry or if it was the room. Our food was fine, the pork belly was a standout. Otherwise, I'm not sure I need to come here again. I wish that they would get a better handle on service timing, because that seems to be an ongoing issue.

Food: Appetizers: We got a variety including duck confit egg rolls, encrusted brie, fried asparagus, mussels, rattlesnake sausages and sopaipillas. The encrusted brie was a crowd favorite (who doesn't love fried cheese?) but I thought the addition of bread was unnecessary when the brie provided its own crispy texture. The mussels were good but a little spicy so beware! The sopaipilla was my least favorite dish. They served bite sized sopaipillas with cheese on top. A delicious idea but the sopaipilla was chewy and flat rather than fluffy. All entrees come with the option of a soup or salad. French Onion Soup: This was my side of choice and it was super salty. Norwegian Salmon: The salmon was perfectly cooked. It was flaky and moist but had crispy skin. The saffron tomato risotto that came with it was undercooked. The Farm: This comes with duck leg confit, lamb chop, and rotating protein (elk for our meal). Each meat was perfectly cooked. The duck meat fell off the bone easily and was succulent. The lamb chop and elk were tender and not overcooked. The green chile risotto that came with it was quite spicy! However, it does seem variable as others had the same side but it was less spicy. Lemon Leche Cake: True to its name, it was very lemony while keeping the tres leche cake flavor. It was quite cold. Service: 4 Our servers were very patient with our large group and did not make any mistakes with our orders. Ambiance: 4 Seared is a small restaurant with a southwest theme. It would be a nice restaurant for a casual date or dinner with friends. It has its own parking lot.

The manager pitched in, but they were playing catch up with the silverware and we had to wait for it when the food arrived. Which, no biggie, but it was a fork when I had steak and my husband had a messy burger. So we right away asked for knives. I pointed out my steak, and the manager got snarky with us like she got it. But then she brought us butter knives. When I got up and went to the bar to ask for a steak knife, her attitude was even faker.
