    Margarita
    Megan A.

    Such a fun place to stop in for drinks! Came here with my parents while I was in town and we had a couple drinks on the patio and enjoyed tacos for lunch from the on-site food truck. My margarita was delicious and I also enjoyed an Elevated IPA on draft. The service was quick and bartender was super friendly and helpful with suggestions. Love how there are so many different spots to sit and the ambience is super fun with tons of antique signs and things to check out. Also swung through the store on our way out to grab a tshirt. Definitely a must stop place if you're in the area!

    Great ambiance, lots of outdoor seating, super friendly staff. Nice family vibe, lots of kids. Good spot for girlfriends to hang out, neighbors to grab a beer, dates, extended families to comfortably get together. Great cocktail menu. We didn't get food so I can't comment on the food truck. It's kind of out of the way, but worth a short trip. The Paloma was perfect for a hot day, bright and refreshing and not too sweet. Served up in a 12 oz cup. Good beer selection, too. Great margaritas. Recommended.

    Let the good times roll!

    What a great, relaxing bar! Too bad it is only open Friday - Sunday. Only the best, top shelf spirits are served here in quality crafted cocktails with various beer and wine options also available. Service is smiling and accommodating. Even on an early Friday afternoon, this place was busy. Still, it must have been the calming babbling from the rustic fountains in the middle of the bar or the amazing La Brujita mezcal in my Oaxacan Old Fashioned that left me with a very relaxed feeling as if I had a large dose of melatonin. Be sure to stop by the market for some spirits or merch before you leave.

    This courtyard is calling you.

    We moved to town a month ago and have been desperately seeking a decent margarita for 29 days. The search is over, this is the winner hands down. Found this gem on Yelp and then accidentally crashed a Virgin Galactic private party. If it's good enough for people who drink off planet, it's good enough for those of us stuck on this rock. Cocktails and a food truck and a killer courtyard, what else do you need??? Drink here soon, life is too short to waste your money on bad Las Cruces margs!

    Weird place. Outdoor bar with a crowd lulu-lemons and LV purses to old men hunched over the bar. Alcohol and heat is not a good combo.

    This is a multi dimensional review…read more Dry Point Distillers. This is one of the best bars in Las Cruces. They not only distil their own spirits, but they invent some great cocktails as well. Last night I had a double shot of Blue Corn Bourbon neat, an Old Fashioned with Rye, and two Kentucky Mules, all while participating in Trivia Las Cruces with my two new friends, Paulina and Steve. (We finished second). The mixologists behind the bar were great. They got my drinks to me with grace and speed and every cocktail was perfection. I appreciate the both of you very much, Dry Point also carries a small number of New Mexico breweries products, which, based on the chalkboard they were listed on much change from time to time. If you are looking for a great place to hang out with your friends for drinks, I can think of no better place than Dry Point. Stone Crow Gourmet Stone Crow Gourmet, owned by Chef Gary is located inside Dry Point as an independent entity. Perhaps one of the best things to happen was the joining of these two business. Stone Crow Gourmet takes a great bar and turns it into a great gastro-pub. I had the Smoked Salmon Crostini and I had to get a box to take some home. For those of you familiar with Crostini they are typically sliced baguettes with a smattering of goodness. Not these Crostini, these were full side French bread slice on the diagonal with generous portions of flavorful joy. I ordered the full order which was six Crostini and that friends was too much. I was able to eat two of them there, I shared one each with the aforementioned mixologists and took two home, one of which now remains after a great midnight snack. The Crostini also came with a fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumbers marinaded in something, tasty greens, all drizzled with Gary's house made vinaigrette I also got a chance to taste Chef Gary's house made Barbeque sauce and it is sweet and spicy bit of liquid magic, Can't wait to try it on a pulled pork sandwich or the rib tips. If you have been to Dry Point then you probably know everything I just said, but if you haven't been, and you enjoy gastronomical delights and great cocktails, get thee to Dry Point and Stone Crow Gourmet

    My husband and I were visiting family in the area and decided to try Dry Point Distillery. Overall,…read morewe had a mixed experience. The drinks, while nicely presented, felt overpriced for the quality and taste. However, the food was truly exceptional and quickly became the focal point of our entire experience. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and honestly far exceeded what we expected from a distillery setting. The chef is incredibly talented, and it's very clear that the kitchen is carrying the experience here. I genuinely hope they are being recognized and compensated well, because the food alone is what makes this place worth visiting--and what brought us back a second time. That said, the overall atmosphere felt like it was missing something. There wasn't much going on in terms of entertainment--no music, open mic, or events--which made the space feel quieter than it has the potential to be. Compared to other distilleries in town, it lacks some energy and liveliness, which is a missed opportunity given the quality of the food. We truly enjoyed the food and can't say enough good things about the chef. We'll absolutely be back for that alone--my husband and I adored it.

The menu is surprisingly creative with tons of vegan and vegetarian choices (and they'll happily modify just about anything). I decided to branch out and try their vegan tamale, and wow -- easily one of the most unique takes I've had! It's served wet style with a rich sauce poured over the top, and it totally worked. Pair that with a glass of their perfectly brewed iced tea and you've got yourself a solid meal. The service was spot-on from start to finish -- several friendly faces checked on our table throughout, which always makes a difference. And bonus points for the little gift shop attached to the restaurant -- it's such a charming touch. Salud really nails that small-town comfort with big flavor and genuine hospitality.

The ambiance mostly fits that idea, but at the same time it feels a little unsure of what it wants to be. Parts of it feel upscale, while other parts feel casual, making the overall atmosphere a bit all over the place rather than one clear theme. I ordered the Belgian waffle, which was honestly the highlight of the meal--soft, warm, and delicious. The scrambled eggs were also good, cooked well and flavorful. Unfortunately, the turkey sausage tasted like it had been frozen and quickly reheated on the pan, which took away from the plate. And while the eggs themselves were fine, the water served tasted noticeably off, almost like water from a garden hose, which was disappointing. The service was okay overall, but it felt slightly rushed. We were given the check before we had finished and before ordering another round of drinks, which made the experience feel cut short. Sunset Grill has some good elements, especially with the food when it's done right, but the experience could be improved with more consistency in ambiance, better attention to details, and a more relaxed service pace.
