Santa Fe Brewing Company - Tin Can Alley ABQ Taproom in Albuquerque

The afternoon staff was terrific! However, the evening staff was the exact opposite. 2 staff members were too busy flirting with each other to bother looking around the restaurant for patrons who would like to order. I even started waving my arms frantically to get attention with no avail. Then, a different employee walked by, looked me in the eye and asked, “how’s it going?” But kept walking. Didn’t wait for an answer, didn’t take my order. I’ll sit somewhere else next time I come to Tim Can Alley, if ever.

SETUP AND ATMOSPHERE: 5 out of 5 StarsFOOD: 1 out of 5 Stars.I'm 0 for 2 in dining experiences at Tin Can Alley. I've tried both 'SA BBQ' and 'On the Flip'... both of those contracts should be terminated immediately. The BBQ was something I'd imagine an old British lady eating... cold and bland. The "OG Cheeseburger" at On the Flip was OG (Oh, God) Awful. Typically I rate burgers this bad because they're over-cooked... but this burger had an acceptable amount of pink, yet still somehow managed to taste like burnt, unseasoned Walmart meat. I have not tried the other food vendors, yet... but I have to assume they are on the same level as these two failures. In retrospect, it could be a strategic move by Santa Fe Brewing to contract with only the most appalling food vendors in order to dramatically increase their alcohol sales by people that are desperately trying to wash down that terrible, terrible food they just ate. Oh, BEER: 5 out of 5 Stars.

Dee and Kayla are literally the best!! My friend and I record a podcast here every Tuesday and they are nothing but smiles and a good time.Tuesday’s are super busy for them and they handle it so well and bring such a positive attitude to their work. I continue to come back because of them and the incredible drinks!!
