    Very chill vibe, vocals by one singer with guitar. He played some good music acoustic style of course. They arrived LA Cumbre beer, all types. Many mixed drinks. 10 stools at the table top. 10 tables for medium size parties. 2 areas with luxury chair seating for 4. Would come here again to try out their many other options of mixed signature drinks. Today I tried the hot buttered rum. A warm drink. See attached picture. Beer ranges from IPA to Stout by La Cumbre. Service could pick up just enough to make this place stellar.

    Gotta tell you! Had some time before we needed to catch a flight, so headed to this distillery as we normally do in a new city. What an awesome experience! Nick the owner and Chris running the tasting room - both quality, class acts! Best service and so friendly. There products, all made there and NOT shipped in, is also a high class, quality products. Their rums are a spectrum of types (try the jalapeño rum). The single malt was smooth and distinct and their rye was delicious with the ever so slight hint of vanilla. I also enjoyed the orange moonshine! Bright and refreshing and will definitely replace the orange liquors in my margaritas! From The Bar Dad!

    Great place! I love the drinks here. Everything is super good. Music on the weekends. Nice ambience! I haven't tried the food yet but it looks super delicious! One of the things I really like about this place is how friendly the servers are. They are always super nice and inviting. It's a great place to stop off from central for a drink or two! Manager is a nice guy. Everything about this place is charming!

    We went to a very fun bloody Mary bar, tour of this distillery, and it was excellent. They currently have house distilled vodka, rum, whiskey and moonshine, and they are working on gin recipe certification. lt is relatively new, but the space is light and clean, the service is excellent, and the bites of food were tasty. The wings were very good. I was impressed by the bartenders and the way they carefully crafted each beverage. I had one of the best drinks I've ever had: a pear martini made with pear infused vodka and house made spiced flavoring. It was delicious and I drank it before I thought off taking a picture. There is good parking, and this is a welcome addition to the San Mateo, Central area.

    Great spot to grab a craft cocktail. The best thing was going next door to grab some yummy carne asada tacos while the kitchen was closed.

    First time here but had been wanting to visit for a long time. I was not disappointed and this might be my new favorite distillery in town. There is a really large selection of spirits but I recommend the jalapeño rum (particularly in a dessert mule) and the single malt, which was smooth and light on the smokey notes for those that are not usually scotch but more bourbon fans. The mixologist creates all of the cocktails in house and if you are lucky you'll also have her as your bartender. Looking forward to when they bring food back because right now it's beer & cocktails. Hours are a little limited (Wed - Sat at the moment) but worth going out of your way for!

    New to Albuquerque, I was looking for distilleries that offered something different from the mainstream selection that I was use to. Landed on Albuquerque Distilling By far one of the best places I've ever visited. Clean, friendly environment, most important, the drinks are the best. The Tapia Agave was absolutely amazing. 100% Proof and smooth as butter. Can be used for mixed and straight. By far a pleasant surprise in Albuquerque.

    White Manhattan. You gotta try it!

    I love the dark rum. Has a smoky flavor. I went old school and got a rum and coke - delicious. This is a cool spot in the Highland area.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

Had the jungle bird, which was properly bitter if you're into that. The marikoriko was sweet and fruity, way easy to drink. The Saturn was also wonderfully fruity and easy to drink. I didn't bother with the mai tai because they use kraken instead of an actual funky Caribbean rum, which is wild because they carry Meyers. Probably my biggest critique is to funkify that Mai Tai yo! Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot! Would return again.

    This was our third time at Happy Accidents and, to my surprise, I had not reviewed this place…read more This bar is definitely big and screams artsyxotic with its grassy ceiling, hanging monkeys, and mannequin wall. The drink crafters are definitely talented and very attentive, ready to make recommendations. This last time we ordered the espresso matini, the citrus, the bubble gum cosmo, and the pornstar martini. The espresso martini was absolutely smooth with a lot of coffee flavor. The citrus was definitely citrus and refreshing. The pot star martini was very funny and fun to drink, wirh a lot of tropical flavors, but it was not as fun as the glittery cosmo. As a snack, the birria fries were a good compliment, quite delicious with enough birria. Overall, it is no surprise that Happy Accidents is one of the best bars known the US. Creativity and flavor abound on Route 66 for sure.

My husband got the signature Happy Little Accidents- the cocktail with Bob Ross atop. He said it tasted good- sweet. I got a N/A cocktail- London Girl Lost and Nochtilli Refresher. Both were really well made mocktails that didn't just taste of syrup and soda water. Flavors like actually melded really well and you can distinguish the notes! The garnish for my mocktails were fun, too- and the giant rectangular prism of ice. Staff was very kind and friendly from when we entered to sit until we left. Definitely a fun stop for an evening.

The menus are on a vinyl, to match their theme. And their drink menu is fun.

After the wait, a second drink was out of the question. 2. This is a vinyl lounge, and even though they had a setup for a DJ, there was no one playing but a speaker. 3.

They have some retro club music going, but no DJ. When we left about an hour later a DJ hadn't steppe dup, but the music was pretty good all the same. We had to wait for our 1st drink for a while.

We really wanted to like the place, hopefully next time things are more together.
