Cute little place. Great stop if you want a draft and some good food to pair with it. To be clear, the drinks are beers, ciders, and ale. If those arent for you, they have sodas and water. Menu had charcuterie boards, salads, and sandwiches. The place is small and cozy, so if you like party bar vibes, go elsewhere. If you enjoy a good conversation over food and drinks, this place is for you. Parking is in nearby paid lots, or you can street park if you find some.
If you are looking for a quick place to eat might not be the best place, but if youre patient, the E-talian sandwich was very flavorful. My only issue was how long it took to get 2 sandwiches it was about 20 minutes there was less than 5 people at the same time. Service was very good.
Amazing beer, vibes, art & food. Seriously good food, they have delicious vegan options!!! The hummus & cucumbers are soo yummy lite. The vegan charcuterie is mouthwatering decadence. All the meat eaters raved about their food as well. There’s lots of choice beers & just so much love every time I’m here. Very cool owner & staff. It is one of the fun spots in town, we are lucky to have it.
When I travel, I hit a different place for each meal just to experience what a city has to offer. When I return to El Paso, I will definitely have this stop on my list for a return visit. The food was on point (I got the Italian w/ cucumber chips) and the selection on draft was awesome. Great artwork, cool collection of VHS tapes, and a chill vibe all contributed to this being a standout. One of the highlights of my trip to El Paso!
100% must see in El Paso! Omar, the owner, is so friendly and the beer is amazing. On a Monday when most of the restaurants and bars where closed, he stayed open and talked with us for over an hour! Great place for local, chill vibes with great beer in the heart of El Paso!
One of my favorite places in town. Really great beer. Really good food. Really great ambiance. They play good music in the bar, but they play amazing classic, or cult favorite movies from a projector on one wall. No sound, but that kind of makes it more interesting. All around one of my favorite places in town.
I really like this place. Its nice to go somewhere and encounter bar staff excited about what theyre serving. Excited enough to be very knowledgeable. Few may know that its hard to get small batch craft beer in Texas. Something about distribution laws, I was told. But they do a pretty good job of providing 10 or 12 beers you arent going to find in very many places in El Paso. So, go!
Amazing little place, it has so much character to it, it feels like youre stepping out of El Paso and into anywhere else, and for everyone else itll feel like home!They have 20 rotating taps of eclectic craft beers, that once they run out, theyre out and into something new. So be sure to come early and come often otherwise you might miss something.Theres occasionally events during the week, including art and music shows, geeks who drink trivia on Thursday, and tap takeovers.Theyre also equipped with delicious sandwiches and salads if you needed a break from your typical bar food - with many different options theres something for everyone.They also sell wine and growler fills, but no liquor so be warned if youre looking for a hard drink. Stop by and say hi, all of the staff is friendly and personable and there to help even if you dont know craft beer! Just tell em you know nothing, and theyll get you started and leaving with a smile and wonder to whats really beyond your basic domestics!Cheers!
Simply put, Omar the bartender/server is what we love best about this place. In my opinion, Omar IS Craft and Social.Great atmosphere, great selection of adult beverages, and a modest but delicious menu.Great place to stop for some drinks after work, before or after an event downtown, or just looking for a chill spot.
Kitschy little brew pub. I think I went three times in three days while I was in town working. They had good strong craftbrew with high ABV and an Italian grilled cheese sandwich that had what is possibly the most addictive aioli I have ever had in my entire life come with it. It is a smaller space, and while not terribly expensive is also not what I would call cheap. So dont go unless you have at least a little bit to spend, but do enjoy it. This place really is a gem.
Stopped in here tonight! First time in El Paso and absolutely exhausted from driving from Los Angeles.The staff could not have been more friendly and the food was incredible!My father got the Drunken Cow and I got the E-talian both sandwiches were fresh and tasted great! We also got the cucumber chips which Im definitely gonna go home and try to make! So unique and delicious.Highly recommend! If we ever pass back through here, well definitely stop by again!

Paid around $20 for a $10 fill bought as part of the Quarantine and Chill package. Employees response when asked about the over-charge was Oh, should have told you. See ya later, man. Guess it was too much to refund a long-time customer $10.Four stars for food/drink. One star for customer service.
This was the only place that sells food on a Monday night (around 10pm) next to my Hotel. Im glad I stopped by, the Bartender and staff were really friendly and the patrons there were all friendly as well, I met some new people and had a fun time for my only night in El Paso.
My favorite bar in the whole city: rotating taps, knowledgeable bartenders, some obscure movie is usually playing on the projector, rotating local art, small events going on all the time, hardly ever packed, its the place to drink when you dont want to be bothered or you just want to drink with a couple friends. Theres board games there, too, if youre into that.

2022-02-21Welcoming beer place with light food fare. Nice collections of beers and very friendly and helpful staff. In addition, if you are looking for a random selection of VHS to play, they have a tv ready to go and a large selection of them.

2022-06-21Cool atmosphere, cool location! Disappointed they didnt have a guide or menu for the beers on tap to see what notes or flavors I was interested in. I ended up with a lemon sour which I love, but had caramel notes , which I did not love. Also, I would recommend as a stop on your downtown venture but eat dinner somewhere else.

2020-12-08Craft and Social is amazing! Omar, the owner, is very personable. I had a lot of fun talking with him while I was eating and enjoying some beers. The food is delicious and it is obvious that everything is freshly made, in house. The hummus was excellent and the foghorn sandwich was amazing. So many different layers of flavor and the cucumber chips are the perfect side. And to top it off, the craft beer selection is great, especially for a smaller joint. Next time Im in El Paso, I will definitely be back. I cant recommend this place strongly enough! If youre in town, go here!
