“We came here for dinner, and the experience was amazing! Food was delicious and every bite was an incredible burst of flavor. Service was wonderful and really appreciated the way they spaced out our food coming out. We got to enjoy our cocktails, appetizers, entrees and dessert without our food getting cold.“

Founders Speakeasy Bar • $

“Second time that I was there in two years and their service was good as last time. They have a small cocktail menu but they can make whatever you like. If you are looking for place to try some whiskey/Bourbon this place is should be on ur list.There are few games that you can grab and have more fun with ur party. Barmen are great and nice . We had two cocktails and both were delicious but not exceptional that I can say “Wow”. I will go there more to try their whisky menu or Mezcal. So far I am giving them 4 ⭐️.“

“Bar Uno is great. I don't go as much as I used to but every time I do make my way that way I remember all the great things about this quaint bar: atmosphere, great drinks, people watching and the bartenders, Steve and Lara in particular. They are personable and know what they are doing. Highly recommend stopping in if you find yourself downtown.“

“Everything was great all around. Definitely a perfect lunch location. Plenty of seating available and the service was pretty quick. Food was delicious all around from the appetizers to the main. The only constructive criticism I would give is that the chicken was a little on the dry side, both otherwise tasty enough.“

“This restaurant came highly recommended when we were visiting ABQ, and we were not disappointed! Food, ambience, and service were all outstanding. When we arrived, we were given a choice of where to sit: in the lively, hopping bar area or in the quiet, white-tablecloth-yet-not-stuffy restaurant area. We opted for the latter. Both areas have eye-catching art on the walls. We had questions about the wine selection (super reasonable prices!) and followed our very knowledgeable server's recommendation. It was perfect. And then the food came: little flavor bombs with eye-pleasing presentation! Between the two of us, we ordered six tapas. It was plenty. There are more substantial plates available that looked fantastic, but we went for variety. Every piece was a marvelous culinary adventure. Both our server and the owner came to the table repeatedly to check whether we were happy. We were. And we will be back during our next visit!“

“Just went here for the first time the other night for my friends gig, and man was it cute!! Needs more space to sit but as a live music venue it was stellar. The cover wasn't outrageous, and the guy manning the door was really good at handling some dude harassing us when we were outside smoking on the break. definitely one the better local music spots“

“First off amazing atmosphere. To our awesome hostess, beautiful server. She was amazing, she handled the upstairs that night. I wish I remembered her name :(. But she was amazing:) It was my moms birthday dinner, and everything was top notch. Bartender perfect, and to our Chef Izzy, if thats spelt correct. He came out to introduce himself and wish my mom a Happy Birthday. Hes a talented chef and you can tell, hes a perfectionist. He deserved a kiss as I always say for delicious food lol. Thank you to all the wonderful staff. We will be back.“

“Consistently creative and Great cocktails and good service. I've gone when there has been live music and the space just isn't quite big enough unless you don't like hearing the people you're there with. Just too loud for such a small space. I would avoid that.“

Momo Lounge Bar • $$$
2402 Central Ave SW, Albuquerque

“I loved this place so much that I came by twice in less than a week. They have done a great job of the Art Deco style in this lounge. We came by on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet. They had live music for entertainment and she was quite good. I noticed they had two cute patios, but because it was cold outside we sat by the cozy fire in the lounge. I loved this place so much that I brought my book club the following Tuesday. Our bartender was amazing. She handled us 15 ladies like a champ. If you are hungry, which we were, there is a QR code you scan that gives you different restaurants that deliver to your table. Next time I go I will order our food as soon as I get there because we did have to wait quite a bit for delivery. Overall not only was I impressed with this cute place but one of our members is planning on coming back and staycation here. Our other book club member will be hosting her birthday here and I can't wait to come back!“

“Very enjoyable dining experience. Friendly, efficient staff. Very good food. Very good drinks. Allowed to linger and talk without feeling pressured to leave. I enjoy that the restaurant is in an old service station. It has a lot of atmosphere. Very good place to go before or after the concert at Popejoy Hall. Parking could be better. I had to walk a block and a half to the restaurant.“

“Wow! We had cocktails and dinner there a few nights ago and I have to tell you I was extremely impressed and I’m not easily impressed. First of all the ambience was out of this world, loved it loved it loved . second the drinks were stellar. I had a vesper, and our friends had gimlets and old fashions all wonderful, and the presentation was just to die for, now the food; had the steak bites and our friends had the chicken skewers and a burger. All of the food was presented beautifully and very flavorful. It is a neighborhood gem!I used to go there when it was Jack’s. Make a reservation and get over there pronto , I promise, you won’t be disappointed“

“Great location. The outdoor rooftop deck has fabulous ambiance and prime view of sunsets and nighttime view of downtown and beyond. The menu is reasonable and has an array of offerings but the indoor bar and lounge layout is so confusing. It looks like part storage space and old 90s furniture for an office. It hints at ambiance and delivers something else. Needs an upgrade, even in the lobby on the way up. Strange tile covering the walls that isn't unified with the space. I wasn't there long enough to comment on service but it was adequate. It has potential, though.“

“Loved coming here on a Saturday night. Very much a Hispanic population and a lot of Spanish music, which we loved. The owner is clearly very passionate about his bar as I saw him tending to his guests throughout the night. He was fantastic to our group, and we felt very welcome despite not being Spanish speakers. Great hospitality, fun times, and great drinks. The crown apple mule is very good!“

“I stopped in yesterday at lunchtime, and had the "Tilo" burrito. It had shrimp, fish, and octopus, with green peppers, onions, and garlic, with guacamole. To save on calories, I asked for it with no tortilla, and got a very generous helping of meat and veggies. A soft drink and complimentary chips and salsa completed my delicious meal. Absolutely what I was looking for.“

“Ok we have now been here twice, and wow! the hand pies! they are winners. And the sesame cookies both times have been fantastic! Fine drinks, and an amazing back yard patio. Not fast paced in the kitchen, or a very extensive menu. but what they do what they do very well. The moctails and cocktails were delicious. I had not even known they had any food, and im not a big drinker so it was only by catching their signboard listing handpies, got me in the door. and Im glad I did. Im looking forward to visiting their neighbors who share the patio, its a new brewery.“
