Socorro Springs Restaurant

Saw some great reviews and figured would come and try it out. The beer draft machine was broken so we settled for bottled beer. Which was ok.The food was also ok. Bu the service was awesome!! We had a server who had just hired on and she made our visit worth it!

I am a avid beer drinker and I love tying new beers. I stopped into here because its sign said there was a brewery. Sadly, however, they do not brew beer anymore. It is still a nice place to come grab a beer and some food. For how small socorro is, they have a pretty decent beer selection. The food is pretty good also. They have happy hour from 4-6 min-thurs as well as various other deals during the week. See the attached photos. I ended up going here twice in the 5 days I was in town. It was very convenient for me to walk to as my hotel was right next door. I would recommend if you are in town, stopping by and having a drink.

I read most of the reviews about this place, and caught my attention the reviews about the owner and his son. So yep I didn't had the same experience. The owner himself and his son help me with my food and drinks, no cocky just proud of his kitchen and workers( defending his employees👍🤘)don't blame him. GREAT FOOD, this will definitely be a place to stop by again. RECOMMEND

Tried the Alfredo pizza. Awesome. The pesto pasta was good. Enjoyed our time.. Good place for drinks and food as we stopped through the town.

Like other reviewers, I stopped to drink the homemade beer and discovered that, in spite of the large sign in front that states the place is a brewery with award winning beers, that they no longer brew beer. To make matters worse, the microbrews they do sell are only four beers on tap. Not to mention, $7 for one of these was overpriced. I had the pesto pasta which wasn't bad. They did charge us for salsa and chips which is free in most restaurants in New Mexico. I used to love to stop into Socorro Springs (before the pandemic) and it is sad to see how it has all gone downhill since then. The place used to be crowded, aesthetically pleasing, and sold excellent home brews. But, this is no longer the case. The place is now run down and sad. Apparently, it has been sold, and if you read the two responses from the new owner, it is even more obvious why you should avoid this place. He claims it is too expensive to change the sign which implies the food is unsafe as well. Note the two pictures I have posted. The sign in front is a "bait and switch." NOTE THAT THIS PLACE IS NO LONGER A BREW PUB. The few beers they do sell hardly make up for their "bait and switch." I have contacted the Socoro Chamber of Commerce and have alerted their Office of Tourism in the hopes the can shut down this scammer. I see that there are two new places on the Socorro Plaza which I plan to try next.

I stop here quite a bit during the winter as I'm in the area hunting. The food is great as well as the beer. During busy times the service can be a bit slower due to understaffed, but that's to be expected at a great restaurant in New Mexico (finding good employees is difficult).

Despite the signs outside, this is not a brewery. Service is slow and disjointed. Lots of unhappy faces among patrons, of whom there are few. The food is bland at best.

Sigh. I think this town is going through staffing shortages and hardship like everywhere else, so I want to say a lot of our experience was out of the control of the restaurant. First, they do not have an alcohol license anymore so there is no wine or beer. The wait was quite long with only a few places to sit and wait. One of the servers was clearly very stressed and after we were seated very nice, but extremely short and a little rude to any waiting parties. The food was fine? The pizza crust was thin with no chewiness or give, and the toppings tasted ok. The feta on our pizza was the most flavorful part. They do have some good options for vegetarian toppings. They also seated us in the back despite there being plenty of room in the front - the back was freezing and the smoke alarm battery kept going off. I think the servers and cook staff are trying their best with very limited resources, but I sadly would not recommend here if you are expecting the experience from years prior.
