      We went there three times in 5 days. We had great service, pizza and beer every time. Dog friendly and kids loved it.

      Highly recommend!

      Neat place! With Live entertainment, a little loud, if you sit closer, you can't visit!
      Good crafted beer and well seasoned pizza!
      We would return!

      We came here with a large group, and it was no trouble to find space as the venue was super roomy. We sat on the back patio and enjoyed the sounds of the river. Meanwhile, they had live music inside which many enjoyed. Service was fast and friendly despite it being a busy night. To drink, I had the kolsch. It was light and refreshing! I had the chicken bites with chipotle mayo which were very delicious. My friend was thrilled they had a vegan Bahn Mi, which she really enjoyed. Will absolutely go back!

      I'll start by saying the service was really good - she was very nice and helpful with menu selections! The inside was completely empty, and had a scent of raw sewage unfortunately so we went outside.

      The food took around twenty five minutes to come out. I'd describe the food as ballpark food. It wasn't good, the pizza borderlined on bad which is a difficult feat, and what you see pictured (salad with a scant amount of grilled chicken, one pizza, a pretzel, and a sandwich) was fifty bucks.

      We had meant to go to the other location which has better reviews, but wound up at this one by accident.

      Parking was also pretty bad (not their fault, but just as an FYI).

      The burrito was good, coffee was good. Very loud and for being a Internet cafe I could never log into the WiFi.

      All in all it was ok

      Oktoberfest. Great vibes, great people, great music, great time. It's worth the drive out for this event. Few local bands capped off with El Paso's own Fungi Mungal. Downshift has two locations. You need to come check it out.

      I just got into town and hunted for someplace to eat. When I checked the menu, there were some great possibilities. However upon arrival, there was a limited menu with chicken and pizzas available. I had the chicken tenders. They were large and good, although a bit dry. Fries were excellent.

      Small bar and "grill", order at the bar, self-serve. Water could be obtained at an Igloo at the end of the bar. Condiments in individual packets. Bartender was friendly but it was not the experience I expected. If you are looking for a place to eat, pass this up. If you are looking to drink beer or cocktails, and will maybe get hungry later, this place might work for you.

      We had dinner here tonight. The girl at the counter was sweet and helpful. We tried a beer or two before ordering two sandwiches and two beers. All very good. Unfortunately we had to get up twice and go back up to the counter cuz they forgot the salad dressing as well as the side of ranch for the fries. We'll
      go back to try the pizzas, they looked good.

      We enjoyed our visit for the most part. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars is because we just didn't like the pizza.
      Kids shared a cheese pizza. After the first bite, the oldest declared it was the worst pizza he ever had. Everyone else had a bite and the consensus was that the crust was just meh. It tastes like water and flour were mixed together and dusted with cornmeal.
      The chicken bites were delicious, as were the fries. You get a lot in each order, so don't order one order per person.
      Greek salad was good, as were the sandwiches and beer.
      They do serve "regular" sodas, but they aren't listed in a menu anywhere. We got bottled sodas from the refrigerator by the ordering counter because we didn't know better.

      We stopped in for a bite to eat and loved this new location. Sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather.
      Fantastic Bloody Mary. Enjoyed some pizza and poutine. Could have brought the dogs and sat on the bottom level of the patio.

      Enjoying the beautiful weather.
