“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.“

“My wife and I visited The Copper Lounge to celebrate the 4th of July, and we had a fantastic experience. The staff was warm and welcoming, and our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our visit.

We enjoyed the Loaded Nachos, Smash Burger, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and finished with the Strawberry and Vanilla Sundaes. Everything was fresh, delicious, and served quickly.

The restaurant was clean, the ambiance was great, and the service was outstanding. We truly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

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

“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!“

“We stopped in for some drinks and provisions after a conference on 4/8. The Happy Hour menu is on point. The Mezcal BBQ wings were delicious. We also got the hummus and veggie platter. I would have made the hummus soother and more flavorful, personally. The drinks were great. Our bartender was José. His stellar service, attention to detail, and outgoing personality made the visit a great experience. The environment was tastefully decorated and makes one feel like they are getting a glimpse into the roaring 1920s. Highly recommend this great little lounge!“

“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.“

“awesome staff and beer. Recommend by another brewery“

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

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite cocktail bars in Albuquerque! I have had the Cucumber Gimlet, Alpine Gimlet, Everything Nice Paloma, Timber Pear Collins, Sawmill 75, and many others. I love all their cocktails. Many are on the sweeter side without being too sweet. The bartenders are very nice. It's a little expensive but fun if you're splurging. The bar is kind of small but I love the decor and vibes.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Stopped in a few nights ago to check it out and my experience was incredible. Not only were the views amazing, our bartender Danny made the best drinks. He was super attentive, kind and gave really good suggestions on the menu. 10/10 experience and definitely will be coming back for more“

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

“this is a very tiny little sushi place that I pass by all the time and finally went in and gave it a try. Boy I’m glad I did. Super nice staff. The atmosphere I only gave a four because it is very tiny. To me it’s all about the food and the food was amazing. I can’t get enough of everything. Went in for sushi. Tried the teriyaki chicken bento box and wanted to eat everything. This is a must try for everyone.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! One of my favorite meals in Albuquerque. Me and a friend ordered a steak and the special which was fish called Opah (I think). WOW! The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the fish was one of the most amazing things I have tried.
Food can be fabulous and if the service is bad, it ruins everything. NOT HERE! Our server was Jasmine and she was also PERFECTION. Friendly, professional, and on the ball. I really appreciate good service these days, because it's not always great. Jasmine is the exception. I would go back and have exactly the same thing, and it would be a must to have her as the server.“

“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.“

“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“

“Leo's is where its at!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food, service, and vibe were great! This place definitely deserves more than 4.4 stars. We were a group of 3 adults and 2 kids with very particular food preferences. The kids each ordered the chicken tenders and ate all of their food. I had the chile smashburger and a lavender old fashion - it was delicious! Everyone was absolutely pleased with their food and drinks. The others ordered the OG Fried chicken sandwich and Aden bowl.“

“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!“

“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 😋“

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

“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 atmosphere is cozy, the views lovely, and the staff friendly. Make sure to check their socials online - as the website hasn't been updated in aeons - to find an event open to the public. This venue is a true club typically restricted to members. It's a true hidden gem!“

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

“We are driving across country and are now headed back home to SC. We really enjoyed our Mexican dishes. I enjoyed my tamales but my favorite was the pinto beans. I’m serious.“

“Amazing food! Try those Sammies and Munchies!!“

“Had a great time at Happy Accidents - the cocktails were interesting, delicious and expertly crafted (we had the Happy Accident and the Boyz To The Yard). The burger was incredible. Josh went above and beyond to give us a great time and then even sent us home with some suggestions for other places to visit while in town. Highly recommend stopping in for a bite and a beverage!“

“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“

“Awesome environment! Very relaxing and chill! Great service every time! I recommend to my peeps!“

“The food is delicious, service is fast and servers are pleasant.“
