“😁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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped in for a bite to eat and was really impressed. The New Mexico Prime Rib Dip was excellent—perfectly tender and full of flavor. Nichole was our server, and she made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely personable. Great service can make all the difference. We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome place highly recommended.“

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Absolutely loved this place! The space is beautiful, the atmosphere is effortlessly classy, and the views of the Sandia Mountains are stunning — especially when the sun starts to set.
And a special shoutout to Danny behind the bar. He made some seriously delicious cocktails and made the whole experience even better. 🍸
Beautiful views, great atmosphere, and cocktails worth coming back for. Definitely a spot to add to your list!“

“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’m always looking for good tasting and unique cocktails. Surprize who works the bar is one of the main people I love to see when I visit. She treats her customers like they’re a close friend of hers and she has such a welcoming and warm personality. The way you can sit and chat for hours in her presence and enjoy your time is something I look forward to every time. She gives the atmosphere life.“

“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.“

“I'm really impressed with this sushi restaurant. I was super hungry, so I got to try the miso soup, spider roll, yellowtail sashimi, and spicy salmon roll. The salmon was absolutely phenomenal, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The miso soup seemed more complex and slightly thicker than your average miso. I savored every sip. Plus, the presentation was artful, with one of my plates including a lovely orchid flower. I highly recommend and will be returning as soon as I can.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“Great menu, excellent food, and excellent service. Pleasant ambiance. Waitress and Manager went the extra mile responding to all our requests and providing some extra sauces for the pasta, as well as a secondary carryout order at the end of the meal.“

“Leo's is where its at!!!!“

“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.“

“We had a brunch meeting at Smothered Brunch on the west side. The food was fantastic! The service? Excellent! The staff is very friendly. We got to speak with the owner--she's awesome! By the way, try the chorizo gravy. It's delicious! 👍👍 Two thumbs up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars“

“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!“
