Quarters

3.5 stars.

There’s not that many places open late in Ruidoso so if you’re looking to have some fun with friends after 9pm, you’re options are small. If you’re looking for some country dancing, kareoke, or just a place to have some beers this is one of your options. It’s usually pretty busy during the weekends especially if it’s tourist season.

If country music ain’t your thing, they do have a jukebox (AMI) you can play music on and you can also download an app for it, similar to TouchTunes.

This place is your typical local bar, it’s casual, nothing fancy. It has two pool tables, some arcade games, a patio, a dance floor and plenty of seating. They do have live music on certain days, check their Facebook page or other social media to get that info.

They check for ID at the door at night. They do have a kitchen that serves food during the day.

I came out looking for a place to hear music and a nice ambiance and I got both. The night I visited, they had a great country band which really knew their stuff. The crown really got into great music! This is a nice bar for relaxing and dancing-- if you know the two-step! ;-)

I see a lot of criticisms on the reviews here. I’d like to give you my honest feedback on this.

I personally had an excellent time, the waitress insured that my drink was full at all times and was checking up on me constantly. I love getting to listen to live music from local artists, even throughout this Covid pandemic they are surviving.

The social distancing is still on point if anyone is concerned or worried about that. This is a heavy pour bar so if you like your liquor, then you are in luck.

My one take away from this that would be negative, is that none of the food is fresh whatsoever and it’s all frozen. The burgers are only cooked well done which for me personally is a no go. However I did have the hatch chili burger and it honestly was quite phenomenal for a well done frozen patty.

I am going to maintain a five star on this just due to customer service and quality of experience. I would recommend this and I hope that your experience will be the same as mine was.
