“Loved Copper Lounge! Such a sexy spot with amazing cocktails. The staff was also so kind when I spilled my drink almost immediately after getting it—they replaced it without making me feel awkward. There are so many other drinks on the menu I’m excited to come back and try. Great service, great cocktails, and I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Wow, what a fantastic spot! The drinks were delicious, the vibe was fun and the space was thoughtfully designed. The service was also attentive and kind. They offered great recommendations and were quick to make our beverages. Sit at the bar if you want to enjoy watching them make the drinks. 😉 While it’s not a tiki bar, they have many riffs on tiki drinks.

Only area for improvement - the noise is quite loud because of the low ceilings and tight space. Try to go early or late if you want to avoid a loud, busy setting.“

“First time here and it was AMAZING!“

“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.“

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!“

“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.

Food was delicious, atmosphere of the room/restaurant was inviting and we will definitely book future engagements with them!“

“My friends and I went here after a show and could not have been happier we did. We were in advance of our reservations but they easily accommodated us and gave us a warm welcome. We shared a delicious charcuterie board which was a great value. Everyone ordered something different but all 4 of us agreed that the food was perfectly seasoned and outstanding. The service was attentive and friendly and we had quite a few laughs with the staff. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Only reason for not giving a full five is they dont serve non alcoholic drinks. I guess the soda they use for the alcohol would count but not today. The place was clean. The bar tender was nice and attentive for just serving water. I went for a comedy show. First time going. Comedian was horrible. Host was great. DJ was great.“

“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.“

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