Downshift Brewing Company (Hidden Tap)

Great selection of IPAs. Although they were out of dark beer tonight, the red ale/amber Camp Vibes was unique and well done. We will go back for chicken sandwiches and okra. Acoustics for live music worked.

Beer was great, mic night had some amazing talent (guy pictured sounded just like Tyler Childers) and the food was good but took forever.

Will go back.

Honestly, I loved the vibe and people more than the beer or food. The lady at the bar was super friendly and came outside to turn our heater on since we were out there with our pomeranian. Super sweet. Dogs aren't allowed inside from what I read on the door, but some lady walked in with her dog and hung out inside while we were outside...not sure why that was allowed or even if they knew, haha. No stouts are available, but the beers we tried were good. It was fast and easy ordering, but I was expecting so much more in the pizza. I wish it was made in-house like they claim, and I wish there were a ton more pepperoni. Wings were good, and if I was in a bind for food, as Ruidoso Restaraunts aren't open late, I would probably order them again. All in all, this place has a great vibe, friendly staff, wonderful patrons, and medicore food that I would still revisit when I'm in town.

I loved this place. It’s more of a bar but it’s family friendly during the day. The service was great, they took our order and gave us our drinks quickly. We did wait a bit for the food to come out but it did not disappoint. I ordered the House Salad and Buffalo wings. Both were very tasty. My sister ordered the chicken tender sandwich and pepperoni pizza and said it was also very good. The best part of downshift brewery was their beer selection. Snowday was citrusy and fresh and their beer flights were so much fun!

This is a nice comfortable place to go on a Sunday afternoon. I had the chicken tenders and as you can tell, I liked them so much I forgot to take a picture of the full order. The shrimp tacos were good as well. Decent beer selection. Give it a shot while in Ruidoso.
