29 Best Cocktail Bars in Albuquerque

“Austin!!! Great Bartender and Great Service!!! Old Fashion cocktail on point. whoo hoo!“

“Firrst time and it was a nice time! Nice small venue for live music.“

“The food was served piping hot and absolutely delicious! Every bite was full of flavor, and the quality was spot on. Nothing skipped a beat — everything came out just right. A wonderful experience from start to finish! Will return!“

“Love the atmosphere, it feels like we just up and left Albuquerque. The food here is amazing, I have yet to try something I don't like. I recommend ANY of the Tacos (my faves). I am not a cocktail type person but look into each drink and you will definitely find something that suites you (Italian Stallion for me). And if you cant find a cocktail, traditional spirits and beers are also available. The service is the best. Friendly, efficient, and if you ask the right questions, you'll get a lot of great information about the products they use, the origin of the drinks and food.
They even hosted our company party and we couldn't have been happier.
A+++ all the way.“

“First time here and it was AMAZING!“

“Lily was an amazing server, bartender, host… you name it. She did it all! I’m here on a Friday night, on a whim. I live close by and she has 7 tables as I write this and she rocks. we’ve been taken care of really well. We ordered the classic dog it was good. My black and blue burger was decent. Taste was good, when it came out it wasn’t all that hot. My friend ordered the bbq burger and it was hot and delicious. Good food. But exceptional service.“

“The best bar I’ve been to in ABQ in 3 years. The perfect gem that’s friendly & fun as all get out. Rocking music on Sunday night with a bunch of locals who accept ya with open arms. We will DEFINITELY be back. Add this place to your list folks. You won’t be disappointed.“

“We held an organizational Brunch at M'tucci's Bar Roma and could not have been more pleased! Amanda, one of the Managers, was exceptionally helpful, responsive and accommodating through the planning process. She and her wonderful Staff made our event special through their attentive, friendly service and room set up. Food was delicious, atmosphere of the room/restaurant was inviting and we will definitely book future engagements with them!“

“Great bar, nice people, really amazing range of drinks.

Some folks seem to get thrown off with the idea of pre-mixed cocktails, but theres a lot of work that goes into making these behind the scenes. There's such a great range of drinks to try, and the consistency of drinks produced this way is unmatched.

Extremely friendly service, great drinks...i'd love to go back.“

“Went last weekend with my wife. Everything was perfect. Although they were busy, the wait staff was very friendly, even the busser Mika was attentive and had a great attitude. We'll definitely be back.“

“I highly recommend a superb dining experience at Triana Restaurant! The menu is fun, extensive and diverse, offering a broad range of tapas with exciting and unique tastes. The food arrives fresh to your table with stunning presentation and absolutely perfect combinations of tasteful delight. Ben the front area manager, and the serving staff take great pleasure in making this dining experience the best of the best! Don't miss out on this gem of a dining experience. We will be certain to return often!“

“I love going to Gather, Ian has turned my experience from a “quick stop in” to a “frequent flyer” , their rotating menu is perfect every time. Ian has elevated my taste buds and opened my eyes to a truly craft cocktail. I can’t wait to see what else he creates, cheers, this is going to be my longest relationship with a restaurant. I’ll be back hungry for more“

“Went here for a 4th anniversary. Loved it. My wife got the risotto with chicken and gave it 2 thumbs up. I got the short ribs and they melted in my mouth. Didn't even need to use a knife. Note the ribs have no bones, it's just a plate full of meat, veggies, and potatoes. So yummy. We ate outside on the terrace, and there wasn't much traffic noise from Central so I recommend the outdoor seating. Service was prompt and friendly. We got a cocktail, a mocktail, a side of bread and butter, two entrees, and a yuzu panna cotta for dessert. Including 20% tip it was $167. Worth it!“

“Great drinks. Knowledgeable bartenders. Fun atmosphere!“

“The dogs and fries here are excellent. Great beer selection, atmosphere and top notch cocktails!“

“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.“

“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. ??“

“Ed and the crew are friendly and brew some great beer🍺 . Can’t wait for their next hit with in house born whiskey 🥃. My new favorite in ABQ.“

“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.“

“Our server, Benjamin was new to his position but went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The bartenders were so great, taking care of an elderly gentleman who left his card at the bar. The bartender also made sure the lighting was corrected when someone made an error as it became dark outside. We will definitely come back to this location!“

“The food was great. Atmosphere was outstanding.“

“Central Bodega is the best date night dining experience in town. It is quaint, yet sophisticated. The service is very good. The food, particularly the lamb, is out of this world!“

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

“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.“

“Good times , good jams!!!!“

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

“Delicious food!!! I can’t wait to try everything on the menu!! Staff is friendly“

“Great food!! Best quesadillas I’ve ever had!“

“Celebrated a Birthday dinner and the food was excellent! However, our server; who we had before was a disappointment again. Lack of attention and poor memory as to who ordered what and handing over the food across the table rather than standing next to the person and putting it down. We've been a customer since you opened in 1979.“
