    Great Vibes, Live Music, and Plenty of Beer Had an awesome night at High and Dry Brewing in Albuquerque! The place was packed thanks to the live music, but we still managed to find a spot to sit and enjoy the scene--which was honestly impressive. It had that lively, local energy without feeling overwhelming. The bands were playing, the crowd was into it, and the beer was flowing. Solid selection of local brews with something for every taste--whether you're into hoppy IPAs or something more mellow. Everyone was friendly, and the staff kept things moving even with a full house. Street parking was available nearby (big win in Albuquerque on a busy night), so getting in and out was easy. If you're looking for a spot with good beer, chill vibes, and live music that draws a fun crowd, High and Dry delivers. Definitely coming back for another night like this.

    We stopped in for some beer on Saturday afternoon. We started with a flight and enjoyed most of what we tried. My wife liked the Log Chucker strong ale the best, while I had a pint of the "Beer" lager. Others we tried included the Rye Orbison lager, the Jiminy Krispness Kolsch, the cream stout, and the Agua Fria Pilsner. We sat inside, but they had a nice patio too. Beertender service was prompt and friendly.

    Fun and eclectic local brew pub - with a really nice indoor and outdoor eating space to enjoy! Selection of beers and ciders was great, we tried a number of different ones! Also funny we thought was their "gin" on tap to make gin and tonics plus good pink lemonade (with vodka) and a pretty mean mojito! Bartender and servers were awesome and helpful in aiding us in what to try!

    First timer and cool lil spot but was alil disappointed since I didn't get to try there food truck because they weren't open yet. But I would definitely return

    One of my favorite breweries in town. They have an awesome patio and a super great selection of rotating food trucks. You really can't go wrong. They've been having the Cacho's truck which has really solid burgers and such. Their loaded fries are also delicious and the sauces they use, super yummy. I always recommend people try the paleta shandy which is a paleta in your drink of choice. It's such a treat!

    Really cool venue with outdoor seating, small private parking lot, food trucks, local talent, and beers with paletas! We came for an event during open mic night and it was a really great experience :) My only wish is I wish the workers were better about explaining what paletas were available. There was a bit of confusion what options were in stock or being offered. Had I known there was a Mexican chocolate paleta I would've gotten that with my Stout beer. The only options written on the board were Lime, Mango, watermelon, and strawberry. Then we found out the mango and lime were out. So, I ordered a watermelon paleta... I found out later coconut and Mexican chocolate were available. At first I was pretty nervous to dip the watermelon paleta into my beer, but I ate Froot Loops on a hotdog the other day so I figured "go for it". Surprisingly, the watermelon + Mrs. stoubtfire was actually a good combination lol I'll have to go back and try the Mexican chocolate paleta with a stout. Really cool spot to hang out :)

    The vibe at high and dry is 5 stars. Their brews are inconsistent so they lose a star. Sometimes the beer is great (their pina colada beer was one of the most interesting sours I have ever had) and sometimes it is ... not. But it's overall a great neighborhood bar and I love to hit it up for the food trucks. They used to have a shuffleboard table which was great fun but that has been moved on to the great beyond for shuffleboards as far as I can tell... Big picture: a great neighborhood hang, a regular in my rotation.

    Kyle the bartender. He moved here from Eugene, Oregon.

    The blood orange Tractor Cider was great. The blueberry lime sour came up puckeringly sour and not to my liking. There were 17 offerings. So many more to try. They did shandy's with flavored pop cycles to melt into the brew to add to the flavor. They included Bloody Mary and mango! They had doggie pop cycles too of chicken broth flavor. Kyle was the very personable bartender. There was plenty of seating and a food truck. Today was Mexican with tacos galore. Need to come back and explore more.

    Great beer selections. The employees are very cool. There are games and shuffle board. On the day we went, the buns food truck was there. Excellent food!!

    Peach Habenero Wheat....delicious!

    Solid brews, relaxing vibe, plenty of off street parking, great patio, ample bar and indoor seating, knowledgeable and friendly beertenders, and a decent selection of gourmet popcorn and snacks in case the food truck du jour doesn't suit your fancy. Yes, we have another top notch beer option in ABQ! Cheers, y'all!

    Delicious beer. Welcoming atmosphere and staff. I was in Albuquerque for my day off and decided to look up breweries nearby and wanted to try one of the smaller end brewers. This place did not disappoint. I pulled into a full lot and saw a lot of happy people chilling outside and inside. I knew I was in for a treat. Walked in and asked a few questions, the bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful in my selection for the flight. I love this brewery, and I think you would too. Stop by and check it out for yourself! If you're hungry, they have a food truck right outside- when I came it was tacos but they are rotational, check out their website for the daily trucks!

    I love a nice stout on a brisk autumn or winter day. I had the chai stout here. This one has a lovely flavor, if not a particularly robust body. And though I love a tasty paleta on a balmy spring or summer day, I was extremely delighted with this chocolate one (courtesy of pop fizz) in mid-November. It has that wonderful hint of cinnamon you get from the Mexican hot chocolate, with the texture of a fudgecicle. I ordered a big-ol kombucha to go, but haven't tried it yet. Waiting for the right time to try to consume 32 ounces of kombucha lest I leave it to go flat overnight (they use crowlers - that is, big pop-top cans - rather than resealable jugs, don't ya know). I also bought one of those super soft vintage looking blue shirts for my pal... terrific $25 Christmas present for the microbrewery fan on your list! Two downers: no small def-leppard-style tank tops, and no resealable bottle for the to-go kombucha. One questionable policy: dogs allowed on (not at, on top of) the patio table (kinda gross, man). One "am I seeing this right?" moment: $16 for four taco truck tacos. One lingering question: do they do live music or are they beholden to neighborhood sound ordinances? Great neighborhood pub. I look forward to booking there when the nice weather returns!

    Lemon lime wheat beer with a watermelon Paleta, perfection! I was hesitant about these flavors but was delightfully surprised and satisfied! A must try!

We entered the building from the parking lot side (which there was plenty of parking, not sure how that would be on a busier night). We had already planned on signing up for the membership - the process took maybe 5 minutes to register each person and was fairly easy. The entrance has the registration desk and a hangout area, maybe unused bar area, and I could also see into another room where other events are sometimes held. We walked past the bathrooms where another bar area was located, and the main big room. The ceiling was covered with many pride flags, almost as to cover some of the vents that were emitting a strong current of air throughout the venue. There were plenty of tables with chairs for ample seating. Karaoke was already in full swing, and there were only a few other people participating. I can't remember which program they use, but it's a fairly easy app/website where you create a singer account, look up the song list, and add yourself to the singers queue. If they don't have the song that you want in the song list, you're also able to request for the DJ to eventually add the song if they are able to. The only thing I didn't like about the karaoke set-up were the locations of the tv screens where you'd be reading the lyrics. There are 2 giant tvs on either side of the main room, and maybe because I'm only 5'2", but to me - they seemed like I was looking up quite a bit. There are also smaller tvs behind the main bar. Overall, the SOCH seems to be a fun place to hangout when there are things going on, which they have a LOT of events available for all sorts of people and interests. I'd definitely go back there sometime.

Both gentlemen were standing at the front of the establishment doing absolutely nothing and someone could've run a mop over the floor, but nobody bothered. Just so gross.

There are plenty of local beers on the menu, and our friendly server gave us generous samples when we asked about various brews. The decor was as you might expect given the name--a sprinkling of black and purple accents in a high-ceilinged room. There's plenty of room for large parties, as well as two-seat high-top tables and stools at the bar. Pizzas are available in 8"and 14"; I always appreciate seeing an option that's suitable for just one person. We were one of just a few parties and were served quickly. Pizza was hot and tasty; the sausage pizza had a decent amount of topping. The salad was heavy on croutons, but those are easy to push aside... underneath was a satisfying amount of cubed deli-style ham, grated cheese, and bacon on a pile of lettuce. Good stuff!

Seemed like a good place for families and friends to hangout. I'd recommend if you're in the area!

He deserves allllllll of the stars and the moonnnnn in the skyyyyy.... ;) Moonwalk stands out since all of their products feature local vendors... so local wines, liquor and brews. I'm not the biggest New Mexico fan but I respect the concept. Supporting locals is good for the local economy. 3 drink limit. Everyone gets carded, so don't be sensitive and take it personally. Between the three of us, my cousins and I tried a good amount of their brews and whiskeys. I had the Sandia Paleta, Lexington Lemonade, and Jala-Back Girl. The Sandia Paleta has agave spirit, watermelon, lime, tabasco. Fun to try but the least favorite if I had to compare. The Lexington Lemonade has lone wolf, lemon, peach and ginger beer. Very light and refreshing. A tad sweet, but still probably my favorite drink among the three. The Jala-Back Girl has jalapeno rum, simple syrup and lime. Not too spicy, just enough spice to have a kick. Very unique. An amazing way to start the day at Moonwalk with my cousins and Joshy. Highly recommended checking this spot out if you are in the area.
