Don’t go in here if you wear a red hat! Freedom of speech is not welcome. Absolutely horrible and disgraceful. Shameful!

I have lived in ABQ my whole life and Anodyne used to be a spot that I would regularly go to. But now they have this bouncer that is incredibly rude. Was rude to me and the whole group I was with. Ego trip this one was on and I think giving him a position of power such as bouncer is not a good fit for him. Will change rating once I see this place go back to the vibes that it once was.

This bouncer is getting sued for aggravated assault and a police report/criminal complaint with APD has been fired. I was asked to leave for “walking around alone without a drink” - even though I had ordered 2 drinks and was in line for a third. I asked him if there’s a policy against standing and walking around, and then he said “there is now and you have to leave”. I calmly asked to speak to the manager or get his owners contact information, and he became very rude and aggressive and put me in a chokehold. He then pushed me down the stairs, and when I took out my phone at the entrance to record him to submit evidence of my assault, he pepper sprayed me in the eyes. This left horrible burns on my skin and blindness for hours. Bouncers in New Mexico are only allowed to use physical force if I was causing a physical or verbal threat to someone, and I was simply just talking. This violates Chapter 30, Article 20, Section 30-12 of New Mexico code. The bouncers here straight up assault people for no reason and violate state laws, and APD said this is illegal and I have very valid grounds for an assault charge against this man. This person and bar will be held legally responsible for their actions. I see it’s been happing to several other people here as well.

Bouncer was absolutely terrible. Turns out it’s not just me either…so many reviews are written about him. He was very pushy and creepy towards my friend and I, ruined the whole experience and we ended up leaving early.

Been here before, had a great experience prior. Last time I had went the door dude was a complete ahole. Told me I couldn’t come in and accused me of having a fake ID?? Made it a point to try and get everyone’s attention while doing so too. I just walked out because i don’t want to be somewhere i don’t feel welcomed. Really bad experience not sure if the dude recognizes me or if it was just discrimination, but it was absolutely an awful experience. I would invest in better bouncers or at least ID scanners but it was the short door guy with an eyebrow piercing. Really changed how I viewed this place, the manager should definitely look into all these discrimination reviews it’s kind of alarming.

drinks are amazing and this is a usual go to spot BUT i was kicked out at 11:40 when they close at 12. last call was at 11:30 so we got our drinks at last call but they were kicking us out 5 mins after receiving our last call drink. i wasnt able to finish my drink because we were kicked out bc of “closing” mind you it was 11:40( 5 minutes after last call) everytime go there i usually have a good time, but i am completely disappointed in the treatment i received here today. when they told us to leave there were still people at the bar receiving drinks. whoever that guy was needs to be fired or get retrained. the way we were treated is a way to not bring back customers.

My friends and I consistently start our night at Anodyne for a reason. The drinks are always great and the overall vibes are the best. On Saturday, Alex one of the bartenders really helped make my friend's birthday great.
