The atmosphere is great and the dancing was a lot of fun. However, I’m only giving it two stars because I felt pretty discriminated by the staff. I understand I look young and don’t exactly fit the age of 21 yet, but when security and entrance checks your ID and gives you the stamp for eligibility to drink then why are the bartenders still checking your ID again?? I got it checked TWICE when trying to buy a beer. This just made the experience uncomfortable but I would definitely give this place another chance.

After 3 years, I decided to go to QBar (Salsa nights back). Sadly new door security did not allow me in due to dress code. Honestly, I remember salsa dancing nights back in the days and I could not believe it. I was dress casually (jeans, UNM shirt, and casual sport shoes); nothing, in my personal opinion, inappropriate. New salsa community is the same as all the new salsa people: full of pre-judgement, and fake appearances...

Went to have a drink with some family that we had in town we were all 21+ just wanting to have a quick drink before we went to dinner. We had my 5 month old baby and sat in the back room where no one was so we could talk and laugh and have a good time. But then this blonde lady with curly hair came up to us rude and said they can’t serve us since we had a baby and it’s against the law. So we went to a few bars that said they’ve never heard of that??? Also the bartender didn’t know how to make a Manhattan or an old fashion. Never going back.

Music was absolutely fantastic. The bar service was not great almost out of everything. Bartender did his best but was not familiar with the menu or what was in stock. Seemed to still be in training without proper support from the hotel staff. Qbar used to be great. They need to bring back salsa night. Jazz music was absolutely lovely and the musician's were great.

Very comfortable. I listened to some wonderful buttery jazz. Its a fun place to dress up and lounge around. Kim stone from rippingtons was there and played some tunes! What a treat.

Jazz was ok...singing was ok. Nothing spectacular. Small $10 margarita...no food served anymore at all. Sad presentation of a great memory.
We decided to throw my dad's 70th birthday here because the place is always a ghost town. We brought a cake and the bought chips and salsa from Gardunos. Gardunos said it was okay to have a cake but Q bar said no... even though other food was allowed from Gardunos. So that's all fine but every time someone (one pregnant woman) ate snacks of their own discretely, the bartender would lose his mind and call someone over to lecture us and say we could get food poising and sue them. What lol. The attitude the entire night was the rudest I've really ever experienced. Eye rolling, curt, just INSANELY rude. I never leave bad reviews, but being rude when you're the only customers..., I mean. We will never be back. Again- it wasn't the rules that were the problem. It was the attitude. No wonder people stay away.

We were excited to go to newly reopened Q Bar. It looked like there was going to be happy hour with bar bites, and live music.We got there shortly after happy hour was supposed to start. No one was there except two bar staff who looked puzzled to see anyone. We bantered our way through the first few minutes, and discovered they knew nothing about any happy hour and had to consult with an unseen someone on the subject. They came back to tell us happy hour meant $1 off their drinks. Cocktail prices started at $16. And there was no food. No set up for food. I personally found that odd given the hotel complex with at least one kitchen and two weddings in progress.We ordered from the drink menu. The drinks were their concoctions. Mine was not complex, dominated by lemon on top of bitters, no nuance, and short even in the small up cocktail glass. The smallest martini glass. The ounce and a half one. My guy ordered a drink made with bourbon, honey, and sugar. It came a faint yellow, and the bourbon taste was absent. Again, sour lemon dominated with a distinct honey flavor and no hint of bourbon. It might as well have been vodka.A group of very dressed up parent-of-adult -aged-children breezed in, were warmly greeted as returning clientele. Two of the women ordered French 75s, not a menu drink. I couldn’t tell what the rest ordered. Then drinks in hand, they breezed out. We remained the only bar patrons. We were told the music would begin within the next half hour. We left to get something to eat and some satisfying local beer. The check arrived with full price cocktails. There is no happy hour at Q. Make your own happiness.

Staff was very judgemental by our attire just popped in on a spare of the moment. Will not return . Native to Albuquerque and being so disrespected by our fellow neighbors. Such a disgrace........
