Good wine list, especially given the food hall venue. Service was up to snuff. Nice place to stop in.

Brian was the only bartender the night i visited. He handled the lively busy Saturday crowd very well! He was personable with each patron & quickly served the cocktails with ease. For gin fans, I highly recommend the Corpse Reviver 2. This bar is worth a shot. Show support & stop by. Disregard the bad reviews.

My first time ever to NM and I decided to visit The Sawmill. I happened upon West and was very happy this was my 1st stop. My server, he was amazing. I ordered the cheese board and some wine. This cheese board was outside my comfort level but it was perfect I ate everything but a few grapes! I wish I had caught his name but it was about 130 on a Saturday afternoon June 8th. He gave me lots of good local info and I was so impressed as he navigated a variety of different customers! I'm so glad I stopped in here thank you West staff for making this such an enjoyable experience

Bright, modern cocktail bar conveniently located in the Sawmill Market. We dropped in for the great happy hour prices and loved the vibe and will be back sometime to check out the outdoor fire pit.

Extremely tacky service. Unfortunately I would not recommend this establishment. Super disappointing when you're paying for an upscale experience. I consider myself a laid-back friendly person, and this was very unsettling and belittling. I won't be back, and I encourage others to skip this place as well.

Very poor service. The bartender was unprofessional and rude. Avoid this cocktail bar, there are several others in Sawmill that make you feel welcome.

A solid bar in the Sawmill Market. Slightly quieter than the main areas, bartenders happy to go off menu and do Prohibition-era cocktails or tweak an item to your tastes. Limited food, but you're not here for the food, are you?Have had responsive and attentive service at the bar even on a busy evening, prices may be high for Albuquerque but compared to our old hometown they're a bargain.Recommended more than Botanic Bar (which also does a great job) because they have bar seating and a bit quieter vibe.

The cocktails and mocktails we ordered were great and the service was friendly and accommodating. So much nicer and more peaceful than the rest of the food court

Horrible service. Because we came with another couple she assumed it was ok that she’d switched our bills. Drinks are WAY OVERPRICED and for no reason at all, there’s nothing spectacular about their offerings. We all left really perplexed about the experience. Their space is athletically pleasing, but that’s all they have going for them.

Ummm, the check out person put in for me to tip her 5 dollars for selling me a cookbook (which was already over market price) and the transaction would have took less than a minute. Ummm, nooooo. Ridiculous.My husband had checked out prior and didn’t even notice the tip she pre selected for his dessert.

What a great place to grab a bite to eat or meet up with friends. We needed a quick bite before going to the nearby museum, but could have stayed here for a long time trying all the different stalls of delicious food.

The food was overpriced to us. The flavor of the yellow rice dish was a bit on the bland side. The beer I had was good but way too expensive for a beer. The noise level was too high, we had trouble hearing ourselves talk. If you are young and don't mind losing part of your hearing by all means go there. It is set up for a younger crowd. We were told that there were vendors selling their wares, but all food and drink. Great place for mall food, but expect to pay a higher price than usual.

Tulipani was AMAZING, try it! We also tried the Kebabs and Baklavas which were delicious! Nice area, clean, lots of options.

Thoughtfully designed food court with a multitude of eateries and bars to choose from. Indoor and outdoor seating. Tips: 1. Call to check the hours of operation. Website is not updated. 2. Even if you are clearly above age 21, you still may get carded—By law, if you don’t have ID to prove you are 21+, you will not get served. It’s not that the bars are giving you a hard time, it’s simply policy and law. So bring your ID. :).

A friend recommended this as a place to meet and get something to eat while we talked. I am glad that they did. It is a wonderful place. It is described as, a “Trendy warehouse with an eclectic collection of bars & eateries, plus an expansive courtyard.” and that is exactly what it is. The structure is located just to the south of I-40 just to the east of Rio Grand Blvd NE. It has plenty of parking around the East, west, and south sides. The building is a large structure with lots of glass to let in the light, polished concrete floor, and a very wooden theme (please note the name of the structure with the wood theme). There are a lot of different choices for food. There are several tables inside on the main floor, upstairs, and outside in the courtyard. Food choices vary from sandwiches to steaks to desserts to drinks. We tried several different dishes and they were all good. The place is clean and beautiful. It was kept clean with staff constantly sweeping a bussing tables as they emptied. Prices were very reasonable. Overall, it is a great place to meet somebody, get a bite to eat, or just relax and enjoy the day.
