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.
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
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!
I lived around the corner for 3 years and used to come here as every week sometimes and loved it! So my husband and I had the idea to have our wedding welcome party here. Kyle and the entire team at High & Dry were amazing to work with. The whole process was very fluid and chill and it was super affordable. The bartenders were friendly, professional, and helped create such a fun atmosphere for our wedding welcome party. Everything ran smoothly, and they were a pleasure to have as part of our celebration. Thank you for helping make our wedding so memorable! Excited to keep coming back!
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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!
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!
This is a fantastic neighborhood hangout, and you can tell that the neighborhood actually hangs out here. As people were coming in they were greeting other people, and it had that feeling like this was the neighborhood Cheers. There's a great selection of craft beers. There's also a selection of cocktails. Although selection isn't huge, they are delicious because the syrups are all house made and so, so good. There is a food truck on the property. The tires were flat so I presume it's there all the time. Many people were ordering food from the food truck. It was karaoke night when we were there and there was somebody singing the entire time we were there. It was fun to see all the people go up and give it their best. I definitely recommend this place for casual night out! read more
This will be a pretty brief review because we didn't spend too much time there due to arriving shortly before closing. This was my first time visiting High And Dry and I plan to come back again. Service was fast and friendly. I really enjoyed the Unbalanced Breakfast stout. The outdoor seating area was very cozy (the weather was good), and there was a food truck on site. read more

I visited High and Dry yesterday as part of a sponsored event. I didn't love the paleta and beer combo but separately they were lovely! Its a great neighborhood find with a food cart out front. It is a surprisingly large space inside and the potential for events is wonderful! The service was polite and friendly, we had a corner of the bar to chat and it was nice to see other folks around but not be drowned by noise. There is a TON of indoor and outdoor seating, again I was surprised and hope there are events with multiple cart vendors and tons of people, because its a large space with good beer and paletas that can handle it. read more
As said before this is my favorite micro brewery right now. The service is always amazing and you can find a balance of lively nights with music and calm mid day beers. The food trucks they choose are also sooo delicious. Highly recommend the paleta shandy with the hazy ipa and mango paleta. read more
On the way to visit my parents, I always stop at this great local brewery. I love how welcoming and open the space is, and after a day of driving, their brews always hit the spot. Plus, I can count on there being a great food truck. * Errorberry Guava Göse~a light and delightful, well-balanced drink at 5.7 ABV and 10 IBU. Rye Orbison Amber~this malty drink went well with my meal with an easy 5.0 ABV and 18 IBU. Always a delightful stop, and if you find yourself in the area, don't hesitate to stop by. read more

First visit to High and Dry! In the Nob Hill area. Good crowd and friendly servers. Unique names for each type of beer. Food trucks were available and a good crowd for a Saturday afternoon. Beers were cold and a good selection was available. Wine is also on the menu with a variety of both white and red. This brewery had a hot air balloon themed vibe throughout. Definitely a local hot spot! read more
Wow! Went here on 6/27/22. Fantastic. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. Patio was good size and inside had a lot of tables. They have a good selection of beer from light to dark. A lot of IPAs. We got a flight. We tried the wheat, gose, kolsch and rye ipa. Everything was fantastic! There was a taco food truck also. It was really good! Good vibes and ambiance. If I lived down here this would def be a go to. Cheers! read more

Cute brewery with live music. Just enough beer options. I had half an Alice In Chains Blood Orange Sour mixed with Tractor Berry Cider. It was delightful. Perfect for those who like a sweeter sour. I appreciated the older crowd I saw at this brewery on a Friday night. Given it's close location to the university one would assume it'd be filled with a bunch of college students. But it was a nice mix of business professions, students and everything in between. read more

Most popular bar in the neighborhood. If your looking for a smaller bar with a patio, dog friendly, more than enough choices of beer then try this spot. They usually have a food vendor that changes each week and plenty of tables outdoors. Not a small patio whatsoever. They switch out their types of beer every so often as well. No TVs here just FYI. read more

Came in to relax and try something new. Im glad I did. There was live music and the drinks were cold. From a regular glass of wine to a drink with a paleta in it. The food was from a food vendor just outside the front door and it was good.. Pulled beef bbq burger hit the spot. The live music great. The best of the night was Coalesce Blue. What a great performance. This place is just off the beaten path and doesn't look like much, but I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did.. read more

Overall this was a terrific experience. They staff helped me find a beer I liked...says alot because I am not a beer person. Helped my friends as well. The popsicles were over the top. We 2 two Mexican chocolate and a rasberry. It didn't sound at all good to put the popsicle in my beer. Did do some dipping. The popsicle was worth it even if you didn't like the beer. Had tacos for lunch...excellent. They have different trucks and vary the food day to day. Love the idea. Will try again. read more

I stopped by here for a quick stout tour of Albuquerque on Black Friday as is my yearly tradition. I hadn't been here before and I have zero idea why. Every single beer was clean and to style. Outside patio that I believe is dog friendly. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about beer. Will 100 percent be back for more. read more

How have I lived in Albuquerque for four years and I'm barely discovering High and Dry Brewing now? The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in, was all the beautiful colors. I thought this would be the perfect place for a photoshoot. Lol, The atmosphere is calm and hip. It's not as loud as some of the other breweries in town. You could actually enjoy a beer and read a book here if you wanted to. The staff was friendly and helpful when it came to sampling all the different beers on tap. They also offer coffee, which is a huge win for me. Don't forget to check out their social media to see what days what food trucks are there. We were able to try Punchy's Pizza, and it's was delicious. read more

First time here! Great little place and very accessible to the neighborhood. Cute patio outside and garage door to let in fresh air for the inside. Good crowd and good music. Food truck available as well. Great number of beers on tap. Little disappointed that their own IPA was out but had some of the Ghost of a Moon Pale Ale. We also had some Unhinged Cider from Red Door and Threshold IPA from Bosque. People friendly and staff friendly and accommodating as well. Great little brewery! read more
