50 Best Bars in Albuquerque

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

“😁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!“

“Always great beer! I love the patio! The art on the walls is spectacular!! I think my friend and I got a taste of just about everything! And we loved them ALL!! Their IPA's were so good! Loved the pilsner! Friendly staff! Just really enjoyed ourselves and we'll definitely go back“

“Atmosphere is...well it's a hole in the wall bar, you get exactly what you expect. Service was fine for a hole in the wall bar. Very nice, but not attentive. Beer was served at the perfect temperature and they had a very large selection of local beer and liquor.“

“Wow we were blown away. The space is so pretty and fun. DJ was amazing, really fun to have a place where you can sit with friends over drinks and food and also have such awesome music and vibe. The staff was super super busy (it was popping off in there!!) but really nice and we felt taken care of. Haven't been to the bar next door but it looks really pretty and fun as well.

The cucumber michelada was insanely good. The waitress said they juice the cucumbers fresh- you can tell. All the food was bomb but standouts were the agua chile verde (BEST by far in town, some of the best agua chile I've ever had, seriously) & the churros--so well presented and the warm chocolate was amazing.

GO HERE! So awesome to find a place like this in ABQ.“

“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.“

“I had one of their cocktails, lemon drop, not bad! I also had their corn chowder, which was yummy. This was my second time at the bar, Jose was our bartender, again, and it was lovely . There were a few more people than my first time, and it was nice. I didn't take my dog but I appreciate that I could bring her along if I needed or wanted to. We were staying at the hotel. I enjoyed the bar and would go again.“

“Such a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy some incredible Kombucha and other unique elixirs! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—but the real stars are Julie and Ted, the amazing duo behind it all. Treat yourself and stop by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Love hearing Felix and Justin play. Great drinks. Great food.“

“Great little place. The lounge is where you check-in. The gentleman working the bar was friendly and quick to attend to any request. It appeared he was a one man show. He was serving drinks, checked us in to our room. We needed him to rekey our access card as well as plunge a toilet clog (just TP) from the previous guest. He was on top of it all immediately. The room itself was super cute, really clean, and comfy. All of it was aesthetically pleasing. Really great stay for the price. Would definitely stay here again.“

“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. ??“

“This was the perfect spot to unwind with a beer and good friends. The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was great. My favorite part about this experience was the incredible service provided by Raina! She was so friendly and inviting making sure everything was enjoyable! I will definitely be returning soon!“

“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!“

“I did not rate the food because when I went, there wasn't food offered; however, I would love to be able to eat up there. I think the prices are high compared to other local favorites. It seems to be priced more for tourists staying at the hotel. The service was quite slow the night I was there; however, when I return, I will update my review if that is different the next time.“

“My wife and I always have an incredible experience at Still Spirits! The drinks are absolutely phenomenal, and the service is exceptional. From the moment we walk in, we feel welcomed and taken care of by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The bartenders are true artists, crafting delicious and creative cocktails that we couldn't get enough of. We particularly enjoyed the whiskey sour and the lavender gin fizz. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, perfect for a romantic evening out. We also appreciate the attention to detail, from the beautifully garnished drinks to the carefully curated music playlists. Overall, we highly recommend Still Spirits for a memorable night out with great drinks and exceptional service. Its great to go when the pop-up Charcuterie, WOLF AND SWALLOW, is preparing food to order.“

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

“Leo's is where its at!!!!“

“Great experience! Love the bartenders!“

“High life on tap and good metal shows.“

“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.“

“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“

“The mule peach drink was delicious, and the prickly pear margarita was amazing. Both drinks were well made and flavorful. This is a great spot to hang out, especially for a date night. The views are amazing and really add to the experience. The outdoor flame feature is a nice touch and makes the atmosphere feel even more relaxed. Overall, we had a great time and can’t wait to come back again.“

“So I should do a different review later on. The place is adorable and cute, and we bought some candy from them. Some sweet and sour watermelons as we explored the area. Service was fast and kind, but they really hit the sugar craving I had that day. I love candy shops, and this is good, but not the level Minnesota candy shops are.“

“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.“

“Though I think they need to place a beer menu on the side wall where you’re inevitably going to wait in line on a busy weekend, the staff was really accommodating with beer recommendations, and offered me a sample to help me decide. I didn’t feel rushed, which might add to your wait. But I think the attention they give you makes up for it! Also the beer was tasty 😋“

“The set at the new location is absolutely awesome! The lemonade itself is sooo unique, usually I tend to stay away from lemonade because I find that the ratio of sweet and sour is messed up, this lemonade however is super sweet and that’s absolutely what I love about this, adding the blueberry flavors to the lemonade as well gives it soooo much more flavor and sweetness! Jordan you’re absolutely the best keep up the good work!“

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

“awesome staff and beer. Recommend by another brewery“

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

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

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“Me and my wife went this past weekend and it was fun enjoyed the music they were a really good band good music hope to see them again here at first turn lounge“

“I called several sushi places hoping to find one local that specialized in large orders. Bento was the easiest to work with and the most responsive bar far! It was so easy to order and pick up, and we even were able to schedule a last minute pick up when they were technically closed! And on top of it all, the sushi was fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. It really made this girl's 40th birthday party a very special event 🥰“

“My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed a lovely dinner at Pazzi tonight! Lonnie was attentive, professional, and so friendly! There are so many delicious options on the menu, and Lonnie was knowledgeable in helping us select our entrees. We enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan and the Chicken Piccata. You must try Pazzi; it will be your new favorite spot!“

“Some people say it needs a better sound system, but the system is ok. The KJ doesn't know how to work his keyboard to adjust for singers. He just puts on a song and let's it fly. Being an ex KJ you should always try to do your best to make the singers sound the best they can. Also the KJ was si ginger when there was a number of singers signed up. Over all it was a good environment and had a good time.“

“Locally owned and operated by extremely nice folks. The food is amazing..especially their reuben sandwich. You won't find a better one anywhere. Prices are reasonable. Try them and you'll become a regular like I did.“

“Looking for a place to grab a bite I stopped here. Restaurant is inside the bar but not part of it. Drinks are payed to bar and food is ordered and payed at window next to bar..still inside so no issue there. Food was great, service was great, place is clean with plenty of bar tables and regular tables for comfortable family dining. Do recommend chicken sandwich.. wings were also really good. Burgers are huge. Overall a great place for drinks and food.“

“Dipped on while staying across the street for a quick dinner. We had the chicken pesto sandwich OMG was it good and the cherry chicken salad which was another world flavor. Great place, we will be back!“

“Had drinks met several awesome people.“

“We have a private event here that was a blast! Our host, Daniel, was the most entertaining karaoke MC you could ask for. The sound system was on point, the facilities were clean and comfortable and the bar staff was super sweet and upbeat. Great place to party or do some karaoke with the homies!“

“Prime Rib was the beef special of the night. I forgot to ask the market price which ended up being $96. We split it and there was an adequate amount for both of us. The beef was perfectly prepared (rare). We also split the duck croquette and steak tartare. All were excellent.“

“I love all the M’Tucci restaurants! Always great service and welcoming! Also I like the fact that each one has some items on their menu that is common to all four but each chef has specialties that they create unique to their particular restaurant!“

“The food is fresh and delicious. The service is first rate.A big attraction for us is the gluten free menu and most excellent. Our server was helpful and explained the dinner options and had great wine recommendations. It is the kind of superb service we are used to. Paisano's ambiance is understated elegance. We have been enjoying Paisano's for nearly 20 years. It is an exceptional restaurant and that keeps us coming back year after year.“

“the food was good I will love to go again February 28 2025“
