Love the Westside. Great beer. Events. Curated food truck offerings. Conveniently located. Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Sure, there is a rouge kid now and then, but we are fans!
So I had recently went to Flix Brewhouse and I had noticed they had Tractor Brewing Blood Orange Cider, so after trying it I thought it was the absolute best. I had then decided to go to the actual place where they sell it at Tractor Brewing Company, so I entered and once I walked in no one said hello or welcome I then continue to sit down waited for at least twenty minutes and no one took my order. Overall I was very disappointed I thought this place was going to be great, but that was my first and last time.
One of my favorite haunts! What people don't realize is that Tractor is one of the only Microbreweries, on the Westside, that offers custom cocktails as well as mocktails!!! They have a rotating beer menu, along with the standards, that the staff are always happy to help introduce new customers to. The patrons are always friendly and you can grab grub from Slice and Dice next door if you and your crew are hungry! The patio has an awesome fireplace, for when it gets chilly, and there is plenty of space to have a large get together. If you are on your own and just want to meet someone new, sit at the bar and give it 5 minutes, you are sure to make a friend! Overall, worth a stop in!!! Apologies, this review should have been for the West side location. Just wanted to make sure the right folks got the right props!!!
Been awhile since my last visit. Great having along Yelp elite group, doing our part sharing our experiences. Cold beers, Specialty Liquors, climate control indoor areas with a decent size patio, variety of daily specials, Live music on Saturday. Parking could be an issue during peak days and hours, still a better alternative than crossing the River to those other places.
What a find! (if you can find it...there isn't yet a sign for Tractor on the list of businesses at the street entrance...trust, though. It is there.) I don't totally recall how I found out about Tractor Brewing. Perhaps a location search for breweries close to where I was....my parents' house. This location thing was important because we wanted to EARN our beers by getting a walk in either nearby or on the way. And technically, this taproom was within walking distance of my parents' place! In fact, it was close enough, and the weather decent enough, that we walked both there AND back! (about 3.5 miles each way). When we walked in, we sat ourselves at the bar and told the bartender we were interested in a couple flights. She brought us some paper and pens and we got to deciding! The main draw for our visit to Tractor was that they ALSO have ciders! About an equal number to the amount of beers they have! Yaaaay! Flights get your four options. And they are priced by what you try. Beer only (cheapest), cider only (most expensive), and a mix of the two. Only separated by a couple bucks, but still important to know. My sister opted for the All-Cider option, and I got a mix because there were a couple beers I was interested in trying. I got the Silence of the Yams, Beer-a-rita, Rose cider, and Berry cider. The beer-a-rita was probably my favorite of the four, followed by the berry cider. I also really liked the thai basil mint cider that my sister got, but she didn't like so much. The bartenders were friendly and we greatly enjoyed our visit here. I would gladly return the next time I visit my parents in ABQ!
Chill place to grab a beer at any time. They often have fun events in the evenings but grab a great Haymaker at any time, inside or out. Thanks guys!
This was a typical Friday night where my friends and family go to tractor brewery on the westside to enjoy happy Hour. I have been doing this for nearly three years, we arrive at 1630 and leave around 2100, but today (November 11, 2022) was a little different. It was Veterans Day and all our military friends gathered to enjoy some good times, but that was nearly impossible due to the DJ (DJ Fishbowl, he plays every Friday night). You couldn't have any sort of conversation without yelling to one another. We asked the DJ several times to turn down the music but to no avail. He would state to us "Yes, I have been asked to turn down the music and I have", but nothing ever happened or the volume going down. One time, I went and asked the DJ personally to turn the music down and he turned it down while I talked with him, but as soon as walked away (and I watched) he turned it right back up. It is one thing when you are sitting behind the speakers with head phones on, and sitting in front of the speakers, it is 10x louder. My apple watched even alerted me (I took an age of the alert) that I have been sitting in environment for 30 minutes or more of over 90 decibels (on my iPhone it stated the loudest was 98 decibels). I have already lost 30% of my hearing and i even thought it was way too loud. This is one thing if it is a concert (which average 100 to 120 decibels), but this is a brewery. There is no place for sound to escape. You have a mixed crowd in the brewery, both young and old, so the DJ should have respect of all ages. I may be in the older portion and I love my music, and I go to concerts, but when in a confined area you need to take into account the facility. To me this DJ has no respect or consideration for the crowd within the brewery. All he cares about is himself. Maybe, if people were dancing to his music I might understand some louder music, but not a sole was dancing to his music and people sitting close to the DJ area kept leaving and they stated to us, it is impossible to talk or think. I asked several staff members to request the music be lowered, but the DJ never lower his music, or maybe the Staff didn't care (not sure which one). I seen the DJ at one time with his arm around one of the staff members and the staff member pointed towards us as they were walking and talking. Were they talking about me and my party or was it an illusion, only they will know the truth. My buddy and wife asked for a beer and they told them that they were at their limit, but they had only two beers (my wife was drinking Milk Mustachio and my buddy was drinking blood orange). I think it was to get rid of us and stop complaining about the music. One of my friends had to leave early because it was so loud that she was getting a migraine headache, and several of us decided that it was impossible to hold a conversation without yelling that we decided to leave and go to Marble. We even talked with one staff member at the table (Don't know her name but she is a short young lady with semi long brown hair, cut up Tractor T-shirt with her sports bra showing) and she stated "We have asked him to lower the music, but he doesn't work for us". This young lady was rude and disrespectful as we told her that the DJ works for Tractor Brewery, so he should listen to your request. Each year, we all purchase a membership to the COOP, and if this is how we are going to be treated by the Tractor staff and DJ then maybe it is time to find a better location (i.e., Marble Westside, Boxing Bear, Bosque Brewery, Ex Novo, etc.) there are other locations within the westside area to go spend my time and money. Extremely displeased customer of Tractor Brewery Westside
Great beer, great cider and let let really handsome men sit at the bar, this is Sam. And he is very well mannered
After a long day, we needed to get a beer and chill! Tractor was on our way home so we stopped in. We are familiar with their drinks, but had never been to the Westside taproom location! Same great brews, awesome service... and nice patio! There are food places nearby, so flock to this Westside taproom!
Personally, I can't wait for this review to read as dated. Written back when That Virus Thing happened. No longer relevant. Because that'll occur someday, hopefully someday soon, and when that's the case, you'll read this quote from Tractor's social feed and realize, yeah, this company is a true New Mexico gem: "We're pitching in by providing Presbyterian Hospital Downtown with 7,000 gallons of hand sanitizer made with Broken Trail Brewery & Distillery in our brewing/distilling facilities. Thank you to all our healthcare professionals for putting their lives on the line. New Mexico, please continue to stay home, stay safe and drink local craft beer." Time to throw another dollar at your beertender. Concerning the venue itself, I'm still remembering our evening at this place, right before we had to run and hide at home. Seating is modern comfortable, ambiance open and twinkly when the sun's setting, and the beer's good, cider's great. Throw in friendly service and I'll be back, just as soon as this review reads as dated.
Get Plowed! Hahaha I dig the slogan. The Hay Maker Honey Wheat is smooth and the first sip is...oh so refreshing! They mix the Berry Cider and Honey Wheat to make a fruity sweet mix they call "Honey Bear", I like this mix in the spring and summer. My husband is an IPA guy and enjoys the Acreage IPA They have a great selection of beers and ciders. The patio is nice on a warm day. They don't serve food but sometimes they have a food truck out front, if not there is a pizza place next door, you can bring your own food or have take-out delivered. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

Love this place! Ample parking, yummy brew, chill vibe and great service! Dog and kid friendly with an awesome outdoor patio. They have various food trucks that also come, depending on day. Gotta try it! read more
This is my ABQ Beer Passport for Tractor Westside. I've been avoiding Tractor due to a friend's opinion that stems from the very first brew master being a significant tool. What a mistake. We visited right at opening (1pm) on a Wednesday to have the taproom to ourselves for the first hour. Our bartender Isabelle was very patient with us and extremely knowledgeable about their beers. She has a bad ass car and rides motorcycles, so the conversation was fun for sure and her service was awesome! Definitely someone I'd want running my business in my absence. We sampled a few of their beers with us enjoying a majority of them. My buddy was gaga over their IPAs (which I'll never understand) and I enjoyed their darker offerings. Was bummed they didn't have any ales or stouts other than their milk stout (lactose), especially for "stout month". But, their Turkey Drool more than made up for it (took a growler home)! The taproom is bright and inviting, dog friendly, plenty of parking (except the front spots coned off for an invisible food truck) and the patio has great views of the Sandias. I had to pace myself as most of the beers were 5%+. I enjoyed it so much I will return soon to try more of their beer. In addition to the beer, they have a good selection of ciders and cocktails for those that don't imbibe barley sodas. The place was clean and I particularly liked the menus boards that included ibus and abv. read more

First time here at this place. I visited on a Friday night. Supporting local businesses during these uncertain times. It was a little hard to find parking since it is in a busy area. Especially also since there was construction going on across the parking lot. They had a good selection of beers and the service was great. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They have multiple food trucks that visit everyday. The night I visited, they had this gourmet doner kebab truck. It was good stuff. The beer I just tried was the Godzilla IPA. Tasty yet subtle. Just a side note, don't be surprised if there is an added 20% gratuity on top of your tab. It's to support the staff that work there. read more

I came out here to listen to Eryn Bent play music. I have never been to this location I've tractor brewing before. It's a lot better than the other location on 4th Street. I personally do not like the warehouse feeling at the Fourth Street but this location is very nice. Nate 66 grill is located here on Thursday night from 4 to 9PM, and Saturdays 1 to 9 p.m. I ordered their green chile cheeseburger for $9 and $2 more for French fries with the burger. The green chili on the burger was awesome and the burger was really moist. read more

This is a one of the best west side tap rooms with a really good selection of beers. It has a great atmosphere and the staff are always fun to talk to. Nothing like mixing beers and ciders together. Like the haymaker and the berry cider to make a Honey Bear. read more

Stopped by to on a nice warm Saturday for a nice cold beer. Enjoyed the haymaker honey wheat beer, blood orange beer and my honey had a dappy haze. We enjoyed them and the comfortable atmosphere. The service was nice and friendly. This was a great local place for great Albuquerque beer. They do have food trucks on a rotating basis so you can pair your beer with something new every day. read more
Not sure how my originally review got removed (most likely my mistake.) I do maintain that this is one of, if not my overall, favorite brewery/tap house to visit in the city. The service is always great, the beer AND ciders are always abundant and delicious. They are also one of the most dog friendly breweries in that dogs are allowed inside and on the large patio. The best days to go are Wednesdays as Franky's 505 taco tuck is there. Don't miss out on the best tacos around!! Overall I can't recommend Tractor Westside enough the only downside to me is how far a drive it is for me. read more
Sooooo happy Marble has some competition now!! Loved the new location, super industrial inside, clean (hopefully it stays that way) lots of space, indoor and outdoor seating. The wait staff was friendly, non pretentious (can't say that for Marble at all [rolling eye emoji]) and the beer..... soooooo good!! Not a huge list, but what they do have is very delish. Now, I'm not really a beer drinkers beer drinker (can I say that?) So I cant comment on the IPA's for the true beer drinkers, but as a person who has only recently been enjoying beer, everything I had was delicious. I absolutely loved their sour - I've been looking for a similar flavor since a sour I had in an Arizona brewery and now i think I found it!! The food truck that was there the night we were there was the Urban hotdog company (is that the name??) so delicious, I had TWO of the bratwurst B&B dogs and the truffle fries are to die for! I'm excited to see what more they will bring and to have a new place to hang on the west side read more

I've been wanting to come here from months now and let me say it was worth the wait!!! The New Mexico Lager is amazing and the fact that they have food trucks outside with great food is great (ShoutOut To Franky's burgers 505 for his street tacos). But if you are looking for a great beer this is it and the service is 5 stars in itself! We will now be customers for a long time! read more
