    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.

    Neat place! The entrance is about as incognito as it gets. Not gonna blow it up by saying what or…read morewhere it is, but I thought it was very clever. I don't remember needing a password, just an ID, but maybe that depends on who is in charge for the evening. Once inside, it's all vibes and great drinks. The bartenders made me a really awesome smokey old fashioned, but the star of the show was the specialty ginger cocktail they were featuring, that right now I cannot remember the name of. Pic attached tho! It's not a big place, but there are both high tops, couches and lounge chairs, and bar seating depending on your preference. As an out of town visitor, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

    Oh my goodness, I don't know how I've heard of this place for quite awhile but not how great it is…read more My partner and I went for a date night. We both love speakeasies. We actually did need a password to get in. Luckily, you could go to their website and request one and get it instantly by email. The facade is a real liquor store with a good selection of local and unique brews and spirits. We were led through a walk in freezer door and down a dark narrow staircase, which was fun and felt like a true speakeasy. We got to sit in the side room by ourselves the whole time, which was fun and nice and private. It's a small space with an old speakeasy type feel with neat art, wallpaper, ceilings, and such. Most importantly, the drinks are so good! We were enthralled by the fall seasonal cocktail menu, with smoked cinnamon, pumpkin, sweet potato!!, and other delectable fall flavors. The drinks all have a wild and complex combination of flavorings, and they make all their syrups in house. So yummy and such a good experience to sit and sip. Our server came to take our orders and check on us and was very nice.

    Tucked away behind an unassuming alley in Nob Hill, Teddy Roe's Speakeasy is one of those places…read morethat instantly makes you feel like you've discovered something special. From the moment you find the hidden "bakery" entrance and step inside, it's like being transported into a completely different era--dim lighting, vintage décor, and that perfect moody, upscale speakeasy ambiance. The atmosphere is hands-down one of the best in Albuquerque. It's intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of lively. It's the kind of spot that's perfect for a date night, girls' night, or just wanting to feel a little fancy for the evening. Now let's talk drinks--because WOW. Every cocktail feels like a work of art. Beautiful presentation, unique flavor combinations, and clearly crafted with serious attention to detail. You can tell they don't just make drinks here--they create experiences. I also loved that they pair the whole experience with live entertainment! One thing to know: reservations are definitely recommended since it's a smaller, more exclusive space, but honestly, that just makes it feel even more special and intentional. Overall, Teddy Roe's isn't just a bar--it's an experience. If you're looking for somewhere unique, a little mysterious, and full of personality, this place absolutely delivers. Easily one of the coolest hidden gems in Albuquerque.

I knew after dinner we may wanna grab 1 more drink so I had checked to see if there were any new spots sine the last time we were in town. I hadn't heard of this Teddy Roe's so we grabbed a reservation for the late evening. After getting dropped off by a car we tried to find the entrance. I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

    Sixty Six Acres - Shishito Peppers - not spicy. Still very good.

    I was traveling across the country and had a stay in Albuquerque and was lucky enough to be staying…read moreat a hotel right around the corner from Sixty Six Acres. First on service - I ordered carry out, and the woman who took my order over the phone was extremely kind. She also was the one who helped me once I arrived to pick up my food, and she was just as kind in person. It truly seemed like the entire staff was very customer centric. Food - holy cow it was great! I had the sixty six burger with the hatch chilis, and it was a phenomenal burger. Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries, worth the extra two bucks!! If I lived here I know I would be a regular and ensure I tried out the entire menu!

    We went in on a Friday evening right at 5 to avoid any dinner rush. We were seated immediately and…read morebrought water right away. We planned to split some small app's and one entree. We went with the Korean Chicken bites, the Margarita Flatbread, & the green chilli cheeseburger. The Chicken bites were terrible. Taste wasn't great at all, they were very very fried, but not in a good way. I love some good crunchy fried chicken but these just were not it! The flavor, the texture, none of it was right. The Margarita Flatbread was med. Taste was pretty good, but it was soggy and didn't hold up well at all. That said it was the best of the 3 things we did get. Unfortunately, that's not saying much..... The burger was okay also. Not bad by any means, but nothing special at all either....considering there's a burger place next door I thought the burger would be able to compete with the neighbor, but trust me if you want a burger, go next door! They don't put sauce on it at all, no nothing. Just straight up patty, cheese and bun. Only my 6 year old cousin eats like that.....I did add some mayo and ketchup, which helped, but still not a great burger.... The bun didn't add much for us either, even though it was baked in house with green chilli....A simple brioche would be better imo... The fries with the burger were actually the best single item of the experience. Their fries are really good! So good that I was going to eat every single one of them but instead my waiter just came and took my plate before I had finished the last 10 or so. No are you finished yet, or anything, just grabbed it, turned and left. I was so shocked I didn't even have time to say I'm not done with that. He left the crummy chicken bites we weren't eating though..... LOL Seriously don't touch my plate unless it's empty, or you ask first! Since it was a small amount I let it slide and didn't reduce his tip because the rest of the service was actually pretty good overall..... I definitely 100% will not be back here though, there's much better food in the area.
