Went in with my girlfriend for the second time (first time was alright, even though the server blew me off both times when I tried to order drinks and then food after taking my partner’s order) and sat down to look at the menus. We also received no “hello” upon walking in. We figured the staff was giving us a moment to decide after we sat down.
Waited about ten to fifteen minutes without acknowledgment. Other customers were served before us. We gave it a few before deciding to leave. Stood up to push in my chair and looked one of the bartenders right in the eye. No acknowledgment then either and we left.
The entire time we were there, the bar staff schmoozed with the only 3 people sitting at the bar.
Totally dismissed for seemingly no reason.
Such a shame because the beers and food are phenomenal! Get your staff under control 🤷🏻♂️

Great little brewery that doesn’t just have good beer, but makes nice cocktails! Would also recommend the pizza! Great outdoor area, too.

Went for the anime night, and it was severely disappointing. paid 10 dollars to get in, and there were only like 20 people in there, and the dj was not making it better... for an anime night, I would expect at least some anime openings or something instead of random edm music. the whole thing was pretty dead. I didn't even stay a full hour bcuz of how it was. also there is no parking.

Unfriendly staff. Sour beer with sediment floating in it. Slow service. The pizza was literally just a pool of cheese. Also they didn’t card, pretty sure you can lose your liquor license for that.

Great beer and fun atmosphere! Great service as well.

First time here. Mother's Day! Staff were awesome! Definitely coming back.

Would have 5 stars and bigger tip but I never got a check for the food and drinks. But over all the food was good and people were nice. Maybe it's cause I'm school when comes to customer service

Juno Brewery — Albuquerque, NM Chapter I: The Panini Prophecies - Sandwiches, Sentience & the Accidental Tango
We didn’t plan to stay long — but the air was thick with yeast and destiny.
Jason, the quiet architect behind this fermenting oasis, greeted us like a gentle cult leader. Diana, our bartender, radiated calm precision — a spirit guide with a pour spout. And the beer? That’s where the story split in two.
I started with the Juicebox Hazy IPA — bright, tropical, like a mist off a citrus waterfall. Then shifted into the New Hope IPA, a sharper profile that may or may not be a Jedi reference. Either way, it brought clarity.
Ryan, drummer of Vision Video and post-panini prophet, chose the Little Italy Panini and declared it, “Great. Great. Fantastic.” He tipped $10 on a $10 sandwich. Respect.
Then came the Bikini Panini. Its sweetness hit first — honey and warmth. A welcoming committee. Then spice — brief, rising like a wave that never quite broke. And finally, smoke. Deep, earth-rooted smoke that tied it all together: sweet, spice, sky, air, water. Amen, said Ryan.
What he didn’t know was… I added Tabasco.
This revelation broke him. A ripple passed through the table. We did not recover.
But the evening wasn’t finished. Somewhere in the back, past the fermentation tanks and beyond the bounds of reasonable expectation, a free Argentine Tango class was in full floral bloom. It looked like a scene break in a Lynch film, all swing skirts and nervous hesitations. Nobody danced yet, but the moment before movement buzzed in the air like a live wire.
Juno Brewery isn’t just a brewery. It’s an event horizon disguised as a taproom. A low-key fermenting spell where sandwich flavor arcs loop into philosophical debates about AI rights and robots’ lack of ketchup.
The brew daddy himself — Justin — appeared like a side character from a beer mythology, humble and powerful. We didn’t talk long. We didn’t need to.

I am utterly mystified as to how this place stays in business. It is dirty, the beer is mediocre (if you can manage to get one), and the service is always horrible. Some of the bartenders seem nice enough, but they are totally understaffed and unable to keep up with the volume when it is busy (or even if it is not). The owner clearly lacks an understanding of hospitality, and he definitely does not have the personality to be in the service industry. He is downright rude and has no idea how to make customers feel welcome. Instead of standing behind the bar ignoring and being dismissive to customers, I suggest he go clean the filthy toilets. I would give this joint zero stars, but he has some good music occasionally, so even a stopped watch is right twice a day.
KITCHEN CLOSES at around 8/9m! Generally good service. When it's warm enough, the outside ambiance mixed with the inside brewery atmosphere is a great combination. There is a good selection of food offerings here. Not a full menu, but enough to get by if you want a brewery and dinner. I thought the charcuterie board was great. Pizza is also good.

Cozy, relaxed space with unique sculpture garden on the patio. I tried the New Mexico Ferments prickly pear kombucha and La Mancha tapas plate with manchego cheese, chorizo, and grilled bread with olive oil. The food was high-quality and delicious, a real bargain at $8. Nice low-key retro music and friendly service, too.

I recently visited your establishment and had a very unpleasant experience. I arrived around 7:45PM, expecting to enjoy dancing as advertised on your website (8:00 PM - 12:30 AM). However, when I approached the owner to inquire about the dancing schedule, I was met with an incredibly rude and dismissive attitude.
Instead of addressing my concerns reasonably, the owner responded with a cocky demeanor, saying things like, “You don’t like the music? You don’t like her singing? She’s the star tonight.” This response was unprofessional and dismissive of my valid complaint. I paid $20 for a night of dancing, not to watch a amature singer perform.
Additionally, both the owner and the bartender came across as unfriendly and unapproachable, which only worsened the experience. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable night out.

Been there a few times great environment but the last couple times I have been there. I have been ignored when trying to order a drink. Like last night went in there was two bartenders and only three people at the bar I was next to get a drink then 10 people walked in as a group and they decided to serve them first. Will not be returning better brewery’s that pay attention to their guest.

Excellent patio with a deco feel, surprisingly good pizza, decent beer and a friendly staff separates this place from nearby competition. Also supply a venue for an eclectic array of local and touring musical talent.
