25 Best Sports Bars near Rio Rancho

“Exceptional food and drink! I highly recommend the Turquoise Burger and the Pretzel Appetizer. All their breads are sourced locally from the bakery next door. The service is exceptional, and it has become our local hangout.“

“Time and time again Emily always gives me the BEST service! She’s the best bartender I’ve ever had anywhere I’ve ever been. She’s quick, attentive and always the friendliest no matter what is going on!“

“Veronica is the best server always enjoy her service cold beer hot food highly recommended“

“Excellent Food, fantastic staff and lovely vibe. Shop local! Eat local!“

“High key disappointed that they stopped making the actual chicken patty for the buffalo chicken sandwich this was THE ONLY place in abq that had an actual authentic buffalo chicken sandwich now it’s chicken strips dipped in buffalo sauce 👎 shout out to the ladies at the bar who let me know in advance that it was not the same. I still ordered cause I made the trip and the girls were awesome. But overall I wish you’d go back to the chicken patties you had.“

“Wind Dancer was just a delight to our vacation. Beautiful view, wonderful service by Leslie, we kept going back and forward from inside to outside and they were very patient with us haha, food was just incredible, All four of us cleared our plates and those Bloody Mary's �on point. Thank Ya'll!“

“Excellent food! Great service“

“This must be a hidden gem in Albuquerque-great food and atmosphere. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this place!“

“We have been dining here for breakfast for as long as they have served breakfast. Today I realized I had not done a review - which was a mistake. Now open at 8:30 AM seven days a week, you are really missing something by not watching for their specials. The initial specials were free breakfasts for the first fifty patrons. That lasted a month and they were the same breakfasts as on the standard menu. This past month, they have offered BOGO - again the same standard menu. The first few weeks of December (2025), we were told they will offer half-price breakfasts. We're coming back even after the specials are done with. Friendly service from a delightful staff. Some folks are put off by the sports bar ambiance for breakfast, but we don't mind since we arrive when they open and just ignore the numerous TV screens and music. Great place to enjoy a surprisingly good dining experience. I favor the Crab Cake Benedicts with beans instead of the papitas. My wife really likes the Avcado Toast but with two eggs. Highly recommended.“

“Mikaela is amazing! She’s always so friendly, welcoming, and on top of everything. She makes sure everyone is taken care of and always has such a great attitude, even when it’s busy. She really makes going to Craft Republic that much better! Definitely recommend asking for her if you stop in!“

“Jen (the owner) and her husband are so friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to accommodate my group and I appreciate their willingness to be flexible. This place has great volleyball courts, great food, and great drinks! Highly recommend!“

“Greg was incredibly attentive and welcoming, even though we only ordered water and fries since we planned to eat elsewhere after our session. He never made us feel rushed or unwelcome — instead, he remained genuinely hospitable and accommodating the entire time.“

“The venue claims to be accommodating for ADA requirements. And while they may be, it truly is not accommodating. I contacted the venue months in advance to our concert to confirm the accommodations. I was told that we would be upstairs on the balcony, that this was the designated area for ADA. But upon arriving to the venue. We were advised otherwise. The seats were set up under the balcony, nearly midway to the back of the venue. Tucked in a small corner. There was no way we would be able to see over the people standing infront of us. The "landlord" was incredibly rude and told multiple people that he was "sorry his employees don't know everything " yet multiple people were told the same information we were. He told multiple people if they weren't happy with how they could "cater" to us, that they could get a refund and leave. he even said that my mother, in a wheelchair could sit against the barricade and that he didnt care. while other venues advised this was not legally safe. The band was incredible. The venue staff and the landlord had zero disregard for their disabled guests. Very disappointed in the venue and lack of proper accommodations. I will never be returning“

“I have wanted to give this place a try for years. My fiancée and I like to go around town to different bars on the weekends. So far this has been our favorite place. The live music and the energy of the crowd was awesome! Definitely going t0 be back. Great service as well!“

“SAGE, waitress was fabulous, customer service! Food hot, good, and Sage was very attentive, paid attention to all the little details as well! Simply nice, pleasant atmosphere. NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARED ABOUT MAKING SURE YOU WERE TAKIN CARE OF!“

“Great spot in Albuquerque for a night out! The arcade has a massive selection of games, and we had a blast taking advantage of the half-price Wednesday deal. The wings were hot and fresh, and our server Kasmira was incredibly attentive even though it was busy. No drink was empty and no plate left unattended! The manager Nader leads by example going above and beyond in customer service and keeping his location spotless by helping his team on the floor! Overall, a fantastic place to eat, drink, and play! Bet… I’ll be back!“

“The host with blonde hair & glasses was amazing. She was kind and at first she sat us in a spot where i couldn't really see the game ( i had my sport shirt on) and she came back around and found us an amazing spot without us asking. our server was also very kind and we didnt feel rushed at all. A good first time experience! (the nachos are huge)“

“Desiree is incredible and she makes sure we always have what we need!!“

“I’ve been coming to this bar for awhile now
Always fun and great atmosphere
Bartenders are always making sure people are getting taken care of.
Love how they got a security for the weekends.
Chris is awesome and very aware of people inside making sure everyone is having a good time…“

“First time here, Marcos the manger on shift was extra patient with us while we played the bar games. Audrey made some great drinks. The drinks were amazing and very reasonably price. Also had the World Cup going. Definitely wasn’t expecting anything special when we walked in but the staff and the prices were more than a reason to return.“

“Was a little frustrated at first when we walked in and weren’t greeted and had to wait about five minutes to be helped/seated. our server turned our experience around with The energy and kindness from Nevaeh! She brings positive attitude! Hearing her talk to other customers around us, her customer service really stands out! Thank you Nevaeha!!!“

“Stopped by Hooter for the first time on February 4th at about 7 PM. The environment was lively, the food was enjoyable, and the music was great. Shoutout to Selena for her wonderful service and for patiently explaining the menu items and deals.“

“Went there twice this weekend late. Only a couple people working up front. Ireland was there both nights and the kid is excellent. Amazing customer service, hard worker, even tho it was clear they were shorthanded. Great experience! Thanks Ireland!“

“This 5 star review is specifically because of Arianna. My partner and I recently bought a house in the neighborhood, and over the last several months we’ve been a handful of times. Each time we’ve been lucky enough to have her as a server, the night has been made with her warmth, attention to detail, and hustle. Please, give this woman a raise. I will be inquiring in a few months’ time.
Honorable mentions to Gabriel, who also makes it a fun and bubbly experience, even when the table isn’t immediately at a place to match it. Indomitable spirit with that one.“

“Bonito lugar para comer 🍽️ en familia lo recomiendo 💯 por ciento 🤗🍕🍻“
