37 Best Bars in Albuquerque

“Food, drinks, and service are all amazing. Definitely recommend!“

“Jo and Dimitri were so pleasant and accommodating. This place has transformed into the best agave spirit bar in Abq! Jo along with her business partners are true and admirable experts and trainers! As someone who has been in the industry for over 20 years I was so impressed I got my parents down here within the hour! I will be back and be bringing friends! Thank you!! ❤️“

“It’s like having seven different restaurants inside your favorite sports bar! It’s a friendly, low-key place to catch the Lobos, NFL or whatever you want. Almost as many screens as seats. Beer and shots only, but there’s also a full bar 50 feet away if you dig the mixology scene when you’re watching your game.(Moonwalk). I work downtown so I can sneak away during the workday for tennis majors, world cup and other international stuff, as well. A downtown secret gem.“

“I can honestly say that this restaurant has some of the best dishes I have ever had. Not only is their food delicious, but their desserts are of top quality. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.“

“😁Today's yoga class was a wonderful experience. The instructor was exceptional, guiding us through a series of rejuvenating poses. The ambiance was tranquil with the soft music creating a soothing atmosphere. I left the class feeling physically and mentally refreshed. Thank you Outpost 1706 for putting on this event. BTW😋The post drinks were also delicious.“

“Great drinks. Knowledgeable bartenders. Fun atmosphere!“

“Our bartender Torrey was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable in the menu and a true mixologist. You can tell he takes his craft very seriously. His service was superb, coming from someone that deals with severe social anxiety he made me feel comfortable sitting at the bar. I would come back again just off the strength of knowing Torrey would be my server/bartender again. Kudos!!“

“This place is amazing. I recently quit drinking and wanted to find a new watering hole so to speak. The owner is a wonderful person and is very knowledgeable about the kava and kratom she sells. I found my new spot! I loved it here. It’s very relaxing and such a chill vibe. The prices are good, similar to a bar but there’s an all you can drink special for a super reasonable price. 10/10 would recommend. The Kava has an acquired taste but the effects are extremely relaxing. I hope this place stays around for good so everyone please give this amazing woman your business.“

“Intimate guest experience, swimming pool, and the Momo Lounge on site. Off the beaten path but right near Old Town and Downtown.“

“I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys beer. The atmosphere was light on the night I went, but it made the experience even better to have an engagement with bar tender. Their drink flight was served on a skateboard .... How so cool! Good pricing too.“

“Fabulous spot in Old Town to enjoy an awesome meal, drinks and live music. Will definitely go back. Staff super friendly.“

“Every. Single. Drink. I have ever had from the Botanic Bar is absolutely amazing. Tip: even their non-alcoholic drinks with alcohol in it are amazing. I highly recommend the bee sting with gin. Just try it, you won't be disappointed. ??“

“Great taproom style storefront with loads of local brews on tap, along with ciders. All local so if you want your Coors-latte, go somewhere else—only real beer served here. Awesome selection of flavors with multiple options per style of beverages to your liking. Get your brew for about $8/pint and get some great food from the other stores in Sawmill.“

“It was gorgeous and clean. Everything worked as it should and contrary to some of the other reviews, we DID see security outside on the premises at night. The staff was amazing. My mom was happy with everything except for the amenity fee, which was posted, but it wasn't super clear that she was being charged until she got her receipt. Yes there is a sign, but perhaps it would be more helpful to include a statement at check-in about what the fee includes, or just increase the nightly fee by $20. Even still, the price wasn't too bad.“

“Great service , great cocktails and you can bring your doggo!!!“

“Went to the Chocolate and Coffee fest this April and they had a testing station for Green Chile Vodka. We didn’t buy any at the event, but later wanted to find it again. I sent an inquiry in on their website to help find the product - and Matt Reeves got back to me almost immediately! Very helpful! Thank you Matt!“

“Walked in not knowing that it's a membership-only bar.Must have passed a vibe check because I was offered information about joining and was given an application when asked.Was told prior to paying it would be a 7 day wait on membership status. I was fine with waiting, but it also would have been cool if I could have been offered a two-drink, 20 minute maximum to meet other members and deciding on joining.“

“Leo's is where its at!!!!“

“Great experience! Love the bartenders!“

“Extremely rude owners!!! was treated awful and yelled at on the phone for asking a simple question and then was hung up on! WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT SUPORT THIS PLACE“

“High life on tap and good metal shows.“

“Love this place great food and drinks I go every chance I get“

“I'm from Albuquerque and when visiting family discovered La Cumbre Elevated. Love this IPA! I am able to buy it at Safeway in Tucson, so I stock up here. When I was last in the Duke City I stopped by to see the Brewery and it was a great experience!“

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“Best Mexican restaurant sports bar in NM, they got live famous bands that perform every Thursday-Sunday. They got the best tacos in town that will blow your mind, they have great and fast service and very beautiful and waitresses with great customer service“

“Brian was the only bartender the night i visited. He handled the lively busy Saturday crowd very well! He was personable with each patron & quickly served the cocktails with ease. For gin fans, I highly recommend the Corpse Reviver 2. This bar is worth a shot. Show support & stop by. Disregard the bad reviews.“

“Highly recommend! Great service, delicious food, friendly atmosphere, excellent cooks.“

“Top notch food and great service from Emma and the crew! Will be back!“

“Loved it!!!! Just had my first time here and I felt so at home that I was able to sing in front of other people for the first time ever! So much fun — the drinks are reasonably priced, there are plenty of places to sit and hang out, and the staff are so cool and friendly! Can't wait to come back 💕💕💕“

“The food is wonderful! Each dish I order is always so flavorful and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and relaxing, and the staff are very friendly and attentive, and provide excellent service! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The food here was very delicious! Being an indigenous person myself, I was happy to know there's a place where you can have indigenous home style food! The chef was awesome and the bartender staff were nice and attentive! I recommend this place!! Prices were also reasonable which was a plus!!“

“My husband and I go here fairly often for lunch since it's close to our work... Today our waitress, Shannon, was the BEST by far!! Usually the waitresses just "do their job" and the bare minimum of friendliness.. Shannon actually spoke TO us and checked on us often and was outgoing and friendly... You can tell she cares about her customers and her job. Maybe the other waitresses there should either be trained better or just find different jobs where they don't have to talk to people..lol.. Shannon, you are awesome!?“

“Cool vibe & great food! La Canna sub was delicious & fresh. I tried the tea selection & Oh my Clementine was the best!“

“We had dinner at this restaurant recently. The rooftop restaurant has fabulous views, particularly of the Sandia Mountains. On this hot summer day, we had an inside table by the windows. As the weather cooled near sunset, they opened the glass walls for a fabulous sunset. Equally good, was the creative foods on the menu and no problems sharing plates. The service was impeccable. A memorable night out for my wife's birthday.“
