“By far my favorite bar in Albuquerque! The food is delicious, the bartenders are some of the best in the city, and the time, care, and craftsmanship that go into every cocktail are unmatched. Be sure to check out Los Conejos next door too - if it were in my best interest, I’d sit at that bar every day!“

“First time here and it was AMAZING!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 drinks. Knowledgeable bartenders. Fun atmosphere!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“First visit and the food, people, atmosphere and service was exceptional, will be our go to for sports event“

“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.“

“Has alot of potential! The Dj that night was bringing the hits. The esstestics were nice and I hope this spot doesn't get tainted. We went for the adult prom and although not everyone was dressed for the occasion. We still had a wonderful time“
