🇺🇲 Happy 4th of July and upcoming weekend to all of you from the NM Vintage crew. If you're looking for something to do in between the BBQ and the lake, come see us.

🎸 Jamie O'Hara is bringing the bluesy & funky-fun July 4th; Saturday evening Sons of Soul will be laying it down (come early to get a seat); ending the weekend on a high note, C.L. Smith will be rocking Sunday afternoon.  Open Mic Monday with Chris Baker & the MF Rhythm Section is the region's best way to sing, play, or just chill.

🔥 Gosh, so much good music, you might want to camp out!

Vintage continues to be THE cornerstone of Mesilla's music scene, pioneering live area performances for 18+ years. Our commitment to showcasing diverse local talent has been unwavering; most weeks you can take in 5 - 7 different shows on the biggest little stage in New Mexico.

🍷 Unique drinks?  Of course.  Good times?  Naturally.  Best musicians?  Obvi.  It's just "cooler" here. With 40+ wines, 15+ beers, and a multitude of select NM-distilled spirits, Vintage brings the state's best libations to one location.

Come here as strangers and leave as friends.

Mary Jane's Pilates Studio!

🤣 Pilates will help you with dancing by giving you a core so strong, you’ll pirouette like a pro and still have enough balance left to avoid tripping over your own feet at the afterparty. Plus, with all that extra flexibility and control, your dance moves will be so smooth, even your mirror will want to applaud-now that’s what we call “core-rect” alignment!

Sign up today for the New Client Special. Call Mary Jane (575) 649-5591 today! *
