Spotted Dog Brewery

This is an out of the way small brewery with a decent selection of dozen or beer on tap. Since they had Hefeweizen, that’s what I tried. I guess I am a bit disappointed that the beer was filtered, but it was very refreshing. We are here as well. They didn’t seem too busy, but the food took a long time to be brought to us after we ordered it. I think it was 40 minutes or so. Worth checking out.

My husband and I love this place. We have lived in las cruces for a couple of years and this is consistently in our top 3 fave spots. I requested dinner here on my birthday! The beer is good, with seasonal rotations. The menu is weekly/seasonal so it’s always a fun surprise to try something new every time we go. The burgers are always top notch but I’ve also enjoyed chicken sandwiches, sliders, and Philly cheesesteak, and tonight I had caldo de albóndigas which hit the spot since it is starting to get chilly outside. I don’t think I’ve ever ordered something I didn’t enjoy. I also dream about the beer battered fries. Best fries in town! We are always too full for dessert but every time we wish we would have saved room because it always sounds delicious. The Ginger Ale is also really good if you aren’t drinking!

Great little brewery in Mesilla, great vibe and the bartender is outstanding! Wide variety of people, outdoor covered and uncovered seating, dog friendly! IPA was good but not great. Big Poutine fan so when I saw this I was skeptical (Fries topped with cheese & green chile gravy and fried cheese curds), when I saw it I was even more skeptical. This dish is one of the best things I have had in awhile, the green chili gravy it's ridiculously delicious. Pollock Poy Boy had great flavor and coleslaw topping was great but bread was a little dense. Rare 5 stars for me/ great beer, great food, cool place but customer service is incredible as the number of apparent regulars was high. Highly recommend. Update went back on recent trip, unfortunately for me they change their menu regularly and no poutine, very disappointed. Had the Green Chili Cheeseburger and was no longer disappointed, best Green Chili Cheeseburger outside of Sparky's in Hatch. Back again, had the Gyoza, really good. The Dog Platter (Nosh plate) was just ok, nothing special. Back again, been stalking the menu waiting for the Green Chili Poutine to come back. It was as good as the first time, so good! Update: Another great visit this time had the Irish Stew with bread, really good! Great food and customer service! Best brew pub in Cruces by far.

Ordered the wings today as a takeout order. They went up 20% in price since last week. OK I get it. Their costs went up I’m sure. I was just disappointed that they seemed to be smaller wings and they were overcooked. First time I’ve been disappointed with their food. Still love the dog and will continue to be a patron. Great beer!

Great food and atmosphere. Beer was a 7/10 for me, but there was a large selection. I had the hatch chili cheesesteak, and it was one of the best I have had. Don't miss out on the garlic fries!

Legit one of the best burgers I've had in my short 40 years of existence. The beer was good, too. Real good. But that burger! I hate that i live 4 hours away. But having just dropped my kid off for college, I'm bound to return. The wings were good, too. And the fries. But that burger! So juicy!

I go to this brewery every now and then since it's a little far from home. Every time I land there. Their service, food and beers are always awesome, it's never let me down. Good everything and everyone

This place is cute and has a fun vibe but overall the beer and food are lacking. We had onion rings that were good crispy and the dipping sauce is spicy. The tacos looked delicious but were a burnt unseasoned hamburger patty chopped up with lots of lettuce, pico, and sour cream in an attempt to hid the burnt hamburger. My husband ordered the mushroom burger and it was in his words slightly more moist than the meat in my tacos. Fries were fine and the beer was mid, of the flight one was drinkable the others tasted like cleaner. The root beer was fine heavy on the licorice.

Ok...this very local place has amazing food & beer! The Green Chili Cheeseburger was the best we have had. Service was excellent with a very "Hey Norm" feel. Recommending to my family who has yet to find this gem.

Wow, Spotted Dog Brewery did not disappoint. We got the charcuterie board (The Dog Platter) and their craft beer, what a delight. The Apricot jam was amazing!! I don't usually drink beer but got the Cerveza and it was wonderful. Amanda was just fantastic, She was personable, delivered great service and was just a pleasure. Thanks so much, when we come back to New Mexico we will sure stop in again.

Came by after the Farmers Market and thoroughly enjoyed out patio experience! We had the ENORMOUS pretzel, which was warm and soft, as well as the sliders with garlic fries. Everything was delicious, staff was attentive amd friendly. Only complaint was no iced tea for my husband. I enjoyed the IPA!

Good food, a bit expensive . Beer was a good selection and was nice and cold . Cool vibe here with people playing music outside. Place was nice and clean. Service was fast and friendly.

Only had food and a ginger ale and everything was delicious! The place is small but the food is Big in Taste! Would definitely come again.

Great tasting beers reasonably priced and friendly service.... They had a nice loooing menu as well. I'll be bank!

Woah, this place is super cool. Super chill environment. The beers are tasty and the burgers are great. Very friendly staff. If you are unsure about what beer you want. They will bring you small sample cups to help you make your decision. I ordered the Jalisco burger and it was just meat on meat. So juicy and filling. I will definitely come back

Delicious! Is the word to describe both the beer AND the food. We sampled a variety of beer styles, and each was made without imperfections and true to style. These are clean, well-made beers that do not go light on the malt and hops. We tried a burger and the pork BBQ sandwich, and both were so satisfying if we were ever back in town we would likely order the same thing again. Kudos to the friendly, funny competent staff who handle regulars and visitors with grace and equal care!

Stopped for lunch on our way from AZ to TX. Split a Philly Cheese Steak with garlic fries and an Irish Red. Enjoyed both.

We love it here and it's always on the agenda when in town. The beer, food and service are always on par!

This place is cool as hell. Not super large inside, more cozy. It's a rare instance that I found the food to be even better than the beer! Recommend the Green Chile Cheesesteak. Super friendly service. Bring a 4WD for the parking lot...I kid! (mostly). My top brewery experience in Las Cruces...recommend!

Went with a large group and service was quick and helpful, I did not order any drinks, but the rest of my party enjoyed theirs and I enjoyed my food. Tasty bee-battered fries and a decent hatch Chile burger although it was a bit dry.

Had been wanting to try this place for months and it did not disappoint. For a small place, the service was great! Everyone was super nice and the food was amazing! Wish there was one in El Paso. Can't wait to go back!

Great place. They have seating both inside and out. They have FREE stickers. They serve food up until an hour before the pub closes. We got there too late to enjoy. The staff were friendly.

The guys were amazing! They brought my dog some water while we sat outside, we had already been driving for two days on our way to Florida Love them PS the food is delicious

Friendly staff, great beer and good green chile cheeseburger!Lots of regulars that go every week for camaraderie!

Very tasty food, great beer. Very nice place! It's on the small side and the menu is not huge. But it was St. Patrick's Day, they had live music AND it wasn't a madhouse. Service was attentive and they have outside seating. Would recommend.

Went there had their hefevitzen and the garlic fries. Both were excellent. They have great outdoor seating and the people there are considerate and helpful

Good drinking options to shock the palette. Cold beer and good eats. It's a good start or end to a Las Cruces to El Paso adventure.

Stopped in as we were taking an afternoon Memorial Day drive. Saw this as we passed, turned around and went back. Loved the atmosphere right away! There was outside seating also, but we opted to sit inside. Our waitress (so sad that I forgot her name) was simply amazing! Her suggestions were spot on! My daughter and I decided to try the Cerveza, the waitress suggested lime salt along with. It was this type of focus that made us happy. Even though she was really busy., we never felt unwanted. The brews were full bodied and each one we tried were individually unique. Though we did not get a chance to eat, the food we saw being delivered was aromatic and looked delicious!! Will be returning for the full experience.

Spotted Dog Brewery is the perfect stop after a day at White Sands. The food is great, the beer is tasty, and the heated patio makes it a comfortable spot to relax. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which is always a bonus. Laid-back vibe, good service.. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The beer is typical craft beer with an excellent variety of brews. On the other hand, the food we had was awesome!

Live music was wonderful. The food was really good I enjoyed my grilled cheese bacon with apricot jam. My husband really enjoyed his beer. The bathrooms didn't feel clean, and disorganized it also didn't help that they are 3 feet away from the bar. Decor was a little outdated but staff were great and food and drink were great.

Happened to stop by this brewery on a road trip with my dogs. The staff was amazing and so helpful. The beers were great and the pricing was amazing!

The service was fast! Food came out quickly and was pretty tasty! The burger was juicy and flavorful, just needed a little salt. The fries and fried ravioli were great! The inside is very small, so most people had to sit outside but they have umbrellas to provide some shade. A good bar burger experience. Not the best burger ever but I definitely would come again for a quick bite.

I love this brewpub and enjoy many of the beer styles they brew. The staff are always excellent, as is the atmosphere. Bring your dog and sit on the front patio when the weather cooperates. The food is hit or miss, though. The pulled pork tends to be dry, whether on a sandwich or slider. I recently had an Asian burger here that was almost inedible due to the amount of soy sauce used. The teriyaki pulled pork sliders were very salty and dry, even with the pineapple slaw that came on it. Great beer, mid food, awesome staff. My only critique of the ales is to add coriander and dried orange or lemon peel in your Belgian Wit for a more complex and flavorful product.

Pretty area of town. Looks like a local hangout. Myself and my son asked about non alcoholic beverages (he's a teen) and they didn't have ice tea or fountain drinks, but they did have a Zia brand bottled root beer which was great. I ordered a green chile cheeseburger and it was a bit bland. Asked for some salt and that did the trick. Sweet potato fries were good! My son liked his sliders! They were pretty busy and super friendly.

Stopped by to refuel on a long road trip from TX to CA. First of all, there is a gas station next door so major win. Second, the service here is amazing from the server was attentive and knowledgeable, she even brought a dog bowl packed with ice for the pup. I ordered a flight of beers and let me tell you, choosing only four was hard. So I got a second flight but that was after food, which I had the wings and begger's pouches. Both were amazing and really complimented each other. Everything was so good that I bought a taster glass with their logo and got some free stickers.

June 2, 2023 - Spotted Dog Brewery (Las Cruces, NM) We came here on a Friday afternoon to have a quick beer. We were here a couple years ago and really enjoyed the ambience and beer. The last time we were here, we sat at the bar and ordered a couple flights of beer and picked up some swag. This time, it was just a quick stop for a pint. Again, we sat at the bar. Bobby and Nick were our bar tenders. A couple of wonderful human beings! Friendly, cheerful, and helpful. I ordered a west coast IPA and my wife ordered a sampler of crème ale. The vibe in the bar was hopping. A group of about 15 people were sitting at a large table just behind us and they were feeling the joy. There was a guy and gal sitting next to us at the bar and they were laughing up a storm as well. It was a little loud, but in a good way. The large group left about 10 minutes after we arrived and things really quited down after that. Our bar tender, Bobby, was very friendly and asked me about our day. I told him we were on the road traveling and that checking out breweries is one of our hobbies. I told him we would be heading up to Albuquerque the next day and he gave me some recommendations for breweries to check out while we were up there. Spotted Dog has both indoor and outdoor seating. They have food as well. And yes, I could drink their west coast IPA all day long. Excellent beer. Can't speak for any of their others, but if the IPA is any indication, they must be good!

My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and absolutely loved it!! I got a shrimp beggars purse appetizer it was so very good!! Atmosphere was great and welcoming.....waiter was fantastic and just the right amount of attention. Music was really good! Will be back for sure

Spotted Dog is a must visit spot for us anytime we're in town visiting family. The beers are delicious, food is always changing and tasty, and service is consistently good. On our last visit I tried the Ankle Biter and my old standby IPA and both were fantastic. Have been coming here for years when I'm in town and will be back many more times in the future!

Great selection of beers at reasonable prices (although my personal favorite the cream ale was out when I last stopped in) but the Kolsch and Bier de Chien farmhouse ale hit the spot on a very hot day outside. Also very tasty appetizers and free peanuts was a nice surprise. It's a rather small establishment so can get a little cramped at times when they get busy. But it's always a fun experience with excellent service each time I stop in so I will keep visiting whenever I am in town.

We came here to celebrate Best of Show at the Las Cruces Arts Fair. Nice place! Good food, good selection of beers, these guys know how to please. We had the Milk Stout & IPA beers, with Pineapple Teriyaki Wings & Onion Wings. We were too full to order more, although we wanted to do so. As a result, we'll have to go back...SOON!

The beers were excellent. Great service as well. I had the chance of 4 beer flight and non of them dissapointed me. I ended up pairing my meal with their cerveza...so crisp and refreshing. Totally would recommend this place.

Nice dog friendly patio. Good selection of beers. Very friendly vibe. Staff very attentive.

I drink way too much beer and Ive tried many microbrews and I'd say that Spotted Dog is brewing some great beer. I've tried around 8 different styles and all have been excellent. They currently have 20 styles on tap. Highly recommended for beer lovers. The food choices are limited, though for a brew-pub it's not a paltry selection, and everything I've tried has been quite tasty. The location in Mesilla is good, and the front patio has a great view of the mountains; however it is located on a busy road and the road noise is a nuisance (especially since open mufflers are "a thing" here in NM. If better located it would easily get 5 stars.

Good vibe and a chill staff that are entertaining. They brew great beers! And the Food is definitely on point! No food pics available cause it got crushed immediately...

Great beer for a good price and decent food. Laid back atmosphere and staff are friendly.

Love the place and it has such a good burger I haven't eaten anything else there yet.

We were very very impressed with Brews, service and food. I had bbq'ed pulled pork sandwich. Delicious. Served with Cole slaw that had bits of jalapeño in it. Hubby had shrimp wontons. Yummy. Our pooch enjoyed the patio too.

The green chili burger was delicious. I was with a group of 8, and all were happy with their food and their beer.

Must stop if you love breweries! Got the kolsh, then ordered a 4x4oz flight. All great beers and great service. Very friendly crew and customers. Plenty of outdoor seating that's pup friendly and indoor seating with large windows so you can still see the sunshine but have The comfort of shade and AC. Definitely recommend if you are in the area or passing through! Glad we stopped by for a beer. They also have non-alcoholic ginger beer, made local, for any DDs!

Stopped in around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and was met with friendly, courteous, and helpful service. The attendant, Micah, greeted me and directed me towards one of their umbrella tables outside, and handed me a menu. (Outside dining only at this time) From an interesting list of beers I chose their "Amber Ale", 6.3% ABV. For my late lunch, I was trying to decide between their "Green Chile Cheeseburger", or their "Swiss Champignon Burger". Micah suggested I could add green Chile to the Swiss Champignon Burger - so done deal. The Amber Ale was cold and refreshing and the umbrella provided nice shade. A pleasant breeze made for a very relaxed and comfortable setting. Within 10 minutes (and on my way to my second ale), my burger arrived. It was Ginormous! It was fresh off the grill and very hot. The addition of the green Chile proved to be an excellent choice - the burger was delicious! The beer battered fries were crispy and tasty (as beer battered fries should be). All in all, it was a great meal! Friendly, prompt service, excellent food and drink, and reasonable prices, makes for an easy 5 Star rating. I highly recommend you check this place out! Cheers! Business Hours: Sun: 12:00pm-8pm Mon-Thur: 11:30am-10:30pm Fri-Sat: 11:30am-12:00am

Always stop when in Las Cruces or Mesilla. Friendly staff. Very casual. Nice outdoor seating. Excellent craft beer and amazing onion rings. Very comfortable and cozy. Love the dog. Just a little small. Lots of parking in the back

This has become our "go-to" brewery while visiting Las Cruces. Parts of the menu get changed frequently, keeping things fresh for future visits. Service is always friendly and quick. The food comes out nice and hot. We really enjoy the green chili cheeseburger: the burger is juicy, hot, and full of flavor. The beers here are also good, with a nice variety. We like the Milk Stout. And you can sit outside and enjoy views of the Organ Mountains. This is a great place to relax with a good beer.

I had the white stout and hubby had the IPA. Noth delicious. Nice place here! We would be regulars if we lived here. Cheers!

I stopped in last Saturday while on my drive back to Arizona. I had done some hiking in the Franklin Mountains in the morning and this brewery was only 26 miles away. I was hungry and thirsty and this place did not disappoint. I like German style beers and wheat-based beers and this brewery makes them, along with English and Scottish ales . I sat at the bar, ordered a flight and then had a Grande chicken burrito served over double fried fries. Everything was excellent! I had a seasonal Cerveza (5.4% ABV) with my meal. I also took advantage of the bucket of peanuts. While the front and side patios are dog friendly, I was parked in the spacious rear parking lot in the shade and kept my dogs napping in the car. It was in the 50s and they were comfortable. On a warm summer or fall day they will join me on the patio on my next visit, as I will be back! The place had a constant stream of customers.

Loved this place. Had a stop in Las Cruces for the night and the beers were excellent. Always great when a smaller town can deliver great beer. My green chili Philly was ok, my wife's green chili burger was great. Wonderful selection of beers too.

Food was delicious! I ate the hatch Philly. And it was complimented perfectly with their Pilsner.
