Great beer, great patio- pizza from next door, beautiful music and just a great place to hang in Santa Fe.

Not a brewery. They haven't brewed in over two years and their trap lines are hot. I would pass on this one if you are looking for local craft. read more

Change is good!! Smoking the hops in your beer is very good!! If you steal my idea, you owe Alexander a royalty!! The staff is 5 stars and full of personality! The sours and ambers are legit! The fermented green tea and hibiscus is super light and so refreshing! Beer pretzel is on point, quit thinking about it, get it! When you have a great marketing idea, it's one thing! When you have the chops to make the beer to back it up... now you REALLY got something! Have you ever sniffed a beer that smelled like brisket, and realized beer has been letting you down? Now you know better! Get in here! 5 stars for the best hidden gem! #ShopLocal read more

Chili Line might not be big on space, but they do make some interesting beers for their small footprint. We sampled a number of their beers on a recent trip to Santa Fe and enjoyed all of them. They emphasize their smoked beers, which seems to be for good reason. Both of their chili beers were great, which can be tough to pull off for the style. Other highlights were a bruin and a smoked barleywine. The space itself is fairly small - you order at the bar and then grab one of the few tables inside or outside on their minimalist patio. You can also order food from the adjacent pizza place. Certainly worth a stop to try to some unique beers while poking around Santa Fe. read more

On a recent day trip to Santa Fe we were looking (like we always do) for a local brewery. It's kinda my thing. The wife found Chili Line and *whoosh* off we went. Chili Line is a small place, but very cozy. It occupies an unassuming spot along the road right next door to Lino's Trattoria & Pizzeria. We were just there for the beer so we sat in the bar. It's tiny, with only two tables, and a few stools at the bar. Jessica was our server so she directed us to the online beer menu. I ordered a flight of 4 beer (with the help of Congo), and they were all REALLY good. One of the things I absolutely LOVED about Chili Line was that smoked beers. I love a good smoked beer, be it an ale, stout, or lager. There's something about a smoke brew that is unique and makes it stand out from other beer. Chili Line is a CLEAR standout when it comes to smoked brews, and definitely The Best I've had. Jessica was awesome. She didn't mind engaging in conversation and helping us make beer choices. We also swapped a few tattoo stories (which is awesome) and helped me decide which merchandise to purchase. It was a short visit (maybe an hour), but it was great. Chili Line is a very cozy, relaxed place. Some breweries go for the hype, but not here. Just a quiet place to hang out and drink some excellent smoked brews. I'll be back. You've been warned. read more

4 stars strictly for the service; 3 stars for the beer. The staff was extremely friendly, and the servers knowledgeable. I didn't try the food, but we tried a flight of all their beers and I only liked a couple. They are a micro brewery so they aren't pumping out large amounts. Their pale was okay, and they had one similar to a Heff. Everything else was just not to my personal liking. A cool spot to check out wish I would have tried the food. read more

We had a delicious Chile Line Pizza, beer for my husband, white wine for me, and for dessert I had Tiramisu and he had strawberry cheesecake. Very good, all of it! We will go back. read more

Everything was great-bartender Chris (he was also the waiter and bus boy), food, ambiance, beer and music. We were able to get food from the place next door-not often you get gourmet Italian food at a brewery with great beers. We had the spaghetti and meatballs (had spinach a little spice-yum), Sinatra-light cream sauce with asparagus and mushrooms, yummy pizza. Great sour/natural ferment brown, bourbon barrel aged beer (had a nice sweet note) and a stout which was a little Smokey. Highly recommend-check it out. read more

Great spot for a great brew. Stopped in to try their craft brews and ended up staying for a pizza from the restaurant next door which connects in the back. Bartender, Chis was helpful and friendly. I had a flight of 4 before deciding on their Green Chili beer. Not a bad one in the bunch. If you like craft brews, stop here and enjoy. It's a little hard to find but worth the hunt!! read more

We decided to go here based on he yelp reviews and the Brewee app reviews. I would suggest that you put this place on your list of must go places even if you are not a beer drinker. The atmosphere is quintessential Santa Fe. Chris was our expert at the bar. I had a flight of their beers that were overall the best group of beers I have had in 7 weeks out west. Their west coast IPA was excellent and do your self a favor and try both the red and green chili ales! The red definitely gets my vote. My wife had the stout and it was superb! The biggest bonus was the food. We started with the calamari appetizer and it was so tender and lightly breaded in a sauce that just enhanced the flavor. Definitely recommended. Then we each had a pasta dish, I had the Frank Sinatra and my wife had the Sophia Loren. And the topping was the jazz trio to finish the night. Oh so good. Rich and creamy both!! The food and the beer will not disappoint and if you are lucky enough to have Chris serve you tell him Brad and Ronna sent you. read more

Sarah was absolutely awesome! We're from out of town and she was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We did the flight of beers; the paddle comes with (4) but you can get as much as you'd like. They were 2.50 or 3.00 each depending on which you got. Our favorite out of these was the honey! It was so good I thought it was JUICE. After trying the beers we decided to go ahead and get the wings. They're bone in mango habanero and we're the absolute best mango habaneros I have ever had. A perfect blend of sweet and spicy. If you're visiting Santa he, TRY A FLIGHT OF BEERS HERE! read more

I'm not a beer person so I got their signature cocktail - el Diablo. It has chocolate liquor in it that's all I can remember but my dog's nickname is Diablo that's why I ordered it. Very very good. Bartender was so friendly and helpful. Live music was 5 star as well! read more

Delicious beer! Had one of the ipas and a sour and both had tons of flavor. Service was good as well.

The actual brewery was closed but Lino's next door was open and a part of Chili Line. We had a wonderful server who was so helpful and social. Their pizza was great and the beer was nice! read more

The chili beers would have been much better if they weren't flat. The server/host was either new or very inexperienced with the bar, because the pours for the other party there at the same time as us were also looking a bit rough and it took him about 40 minutes to switch out the keg. The fried shishito peppers were great and a huge portion (as expected for $12 for fried peppers). We're a fan of sour beers, and their raspberry and guava sours were very interesting. They had an almost fermented taste to them? The patio out front is dog-friendly. Inside is a bit small but they had live music setting up in there while we were leaving. It looked like they had a really pretty back patio, but it isn't dog friendly. Overall, beer and service were just okay. read more

Chili Line Brewing is a chill spot, great atmosphere, friendly staff and good pizza. We had the Burrata Pizza.

Absolutely amazing !! The pizza had to be the most memorable pizza I've ever eaten . The crust , the sauce , the fresh mozzarella... Chef kiss read more

Chili Line is connected to a delicious Italian restaurant. It's a perfect spot for dinner and a few after-dinner locally brewed beers. They have a nice sized patio. There was a really fun band that night. We started longer than expected because they were so good. The Al bartenders were good and checked in on a consistent basis even though we were outside. read more

One of our favorite places (actually our favorite place) to visit in Santa Fe. Love the patio, especially during COVID. The staff made us feel very safe with their COVID protocols and even took our temperature. We usually try different beer flights, but they also have wine and champagne if you are tired of beer. However, it's always fun to try the different types of beer that Chili Line has to offer. We also enjoy ordering pizza here. Perfect combo of pizza and beer to hang out by yourself, with a buddy, or a small group. Will definitely be back. read more

Chili Line Brewing - Main bar - Breweries Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Phenomenal spot near downtown Santa Fe. Chili Line offers an enticing atmosphere with a chill bar and the option to sit in the connected pizzeria (Lino's). They have a great selection of brews -- some (or all? not sure) of which are smoked in-house -- and there is even a delicious NA beer to try for those who don't do alcohol (also available is an NA white wine and vodka -- neither of which I tried this first time. Looking for a bite to eat as well? Chili Line offers a small menu with some of the freshest options you'll find at a brewery. I ordered the Panino Pollo, a mind-blowingly good sandwich with tender chicken, artichoke hearts, and a delicious pesto sauce. I will absolutely be revisiting this gem to try their other menu options and to hang out. And last (certainly not least by any stretch of the imagination), the brewery is filled with some of the best music you'll find. The playlist they had on while I was there brought me back, brought me forward, and rocked me for a couple hours. Amazing complement to an already amazing dining experience. Not only that -- Chili Line also plays movies on their tv instead of the usual sports games you'd catch at a run-of-the-mill bar. If you're looking for a unique gem near downtown Santa Fe, within walking distance of several hotels and the De Vargas Mall, this is 100 the place to be. Don't miss out -- this is a place for locals and visitors alike. read more

Chili Line Brewing sounds like an amazing intriguing brewery. And it was awesome! Smoked beer really adds a depth of flavor to some of the beers. And our waitress was the most friendly personable waitress ever! The beer is brewed in house, the smokiness from the malted barley being dried over open flames. All of the beers were smoked. This brewery lets you order 4oz tasters, half pints, pints or growlers. We got tasters of all the beers plus the speciality. That includes the Llorona, PG IPA, Jacona (stout), El Jefe, Star baba, La bandito, and Antonito bandito. My favorites were the star baba (oak smoked wheat beer) and the El jefe (beechwood smoked hefewiezen). The star baba had a smoky semi sweet taste that was brightened by the fresh lemon juice. The El jefe had this oaky smooth taste to the beer. It was complex and beautiful. Our waitress was so friendly and personal. She anticipated our needs (more bread, more food, do we want more beer). She also was quick to clear our plates and offer us waters. And she was genuinely so nice. I loved this beer and our waitress! read more

Decent beers - BUT must have upped the price within the last few weeks. Paid 24 Dollars for two 16oz pours. I am a local and have been many times to this place, but this price for a beer is absolutely not justified for a pint in a brew pub setting. 7-8 Dollars per pour maybe - but not 12, if you want to keep your regular business and not just rely on tourists. This is a pub, not a nightclub. read more

Amazing one of a kind experience in Santa Fe! If u left the city not having tried this place u might have just missed an experience. Their beer is intriguing and amazing. The beer is great and so is the staff. The guy has been on his toes and I have been here for a couple hours. It's a no frill bar. Stop by ur mid day lul or after dinner pint. It's delicious. They also let u try almost all the beer if u want. I prob tried 80% they pouring ***guilty*** read more

Chili Line Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Beer was pretty awful, I tried 3 samples before settling on a Pilsner. The bartender filled my glass from the runoff mason jars he used to settle the head. Just bad. I just can't believe there are 5 star reviews from days before my visit. IPA, Lavendar Dandelion Sour were terrible. Go to Santa fe Brewing. read more

Stop reusing beer glasses without sanitizing them and holding them against the tap (against health code). I was really excited to check this place out but sadly, it was a bit disappointing. There was only two people working and they were extremely scattered. The man who was taking orders was huffing and puffing the whole time, acting extremely annoyed. The food is the only reason there are 2 stars. read more

Chili Line Brewing - Green Chile Beer - Breweries Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

It pains me to write this as we were early fans of their unique take on brewing - and we were excited to have this as our go-to Santa Fe brewpub. We proudly brought visitors here. Well, they are no longer brewing, they are replacing the house beers with guest beers as they run out. So it is becoming a tap room, no longer a brewery. The tap system is badly in need of some TLC and beer line cleaning. Every tap pours mostly foam. To the point that the bartender was pouring beer into Mason jars so that it could settle for serving. Otherwise, it took several pint glasses and several minutes to pour a pint. The draft station looks like a chemistry experiment gone nuts with jars everywhere and black marker tape-over-tape beer labels and a big cracked mirror background. This is ongoing over several visits, not a single-day glitch. The other thing that is disappointing is the kitchen has a real wood-fired oven with the capability of making great Neapolitan style pizza. Which they used to do - it was our go-to pizza in town. However, the last several times we ordered pizza, they arrived crispy on the outside, but the center dough was so soggy and underdone that you couldn't pick up a slice - it had to be fork eaten. Not a pleasant texture. A little pizza making attention, decor & cleanliness love and a full-time brewer, and it could be great. But the shine has worn off the apple, and we are sad. read more

I stopped by here this past Friday night with my wife for some drinks. We were in Old Town Sante Fe for the evening whenever I consulted Yelp for a brewery. Only .4 miles away was Chili Line Brewing and so we headed over. Upon entering the restaurant we immediately headed to the bar area and took a seat at a high top table. There wasn't too much decoration in and around the bar other than a whiteboard with some of their beers on it and then a bunch of branded merchandise. Right after we sat down the gentlemen working at the bar came over to tell us about Chili Line Brewery. What sets it apart from other breweries is that all of the beers here are smoked. Yep that means everything from their chile beers to their sours and even the IPAs are smoked. He told me how many breweries in the US are the same way and it was a really small number but I forgot the exact number. Overall he was super nice to us and really made us feel welcome. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a flight here. At Chili Line Brewing that consists of 4 - 4 oz pours. For my beers on this day I went with Que Picante (Red Chile), Como Pica (green chile), Cherry Poppin (smoked sour) and Pinche Guey (West Coast IPA). Normally I wouldn't order the chile beers as I have had too many that set my mouth on fire. However I figured that I wouldn't have the chance to get these beers again and went against my better judgement. Thankfully it worked out for me as both of the beers were really good! I would actually call them the best chile beers I have ever had. You could taste both the beer and a chili flavor in each of them and while they had a kick to them, it was a low heat that was enjoyable and didn't leave me looking for water. My other two beers were nice as well. The sour had a nice smoked cherry flavor which both my wife and I loved while the IPA brought the juiciness along with a touch of smoke. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. All of the beers that I had here were good and the gentlemen working the bar was super nice as well. read more

Cool brewery colocated with a pizza spot. I actually walked in and got confused and asked where the brewery was. They have a lot of beers on tap and really friendly service. I ordered a flight using the touch less ordering system (scan, order and pay online) and it was brought over right away. Nothing blew my mind but I wasn't disappointed with anything I had either. I would definitely go back if in town. They have a really nice patio area making for a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy some summer beers. read more
