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.

Spirit Sampler.. rum, jalapeño rum, single malt & a rye

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!

My cousins and I basically gave up on food and say... let's just drink!! Best decision ever because that's how we met Joshy!! BEST BARTENDER EVER!! Joshy was so fun and friendly, and of course his drinks were delightful. Honestly all the 5 stars for this establishment is mainly for Joshy!! He deserves allllllll of the stars and the moonnnnn in the skyyyyy.... ;) Moonwalk stands out since all of their products feature local vendors... so local wines, liquor and brews. I'm not the biggest New Mexico fan but I respect the concept. Supporting locals is good for the local economy. 3 drink limit. Everyone gets carded, so don't be sensitive and take it personally. Between the three of us, my cousins and I tried a good amount of their brews and whiskeys. I had the Sandia Paleta, Lexington Lemonade, and Jala-Back Girl. The Sandia Paleta has agave spirit, watermelon, lime, tabasco. Fun to try but the least favorite if I had to compare. The Lexington Lemonade has lone wolf, lemon, peach and ginger beer. Very light and refreshing. A tad sweet, but still probably my favorite drink among the three. The Jala-Back Girl has jalapeno rum, simple syrup and lime. Not too spicy, just enough spice to have a kick. Very unique. An amazing way to start the day at Moonwalk with my cousins and Joshy. Highly recommended checking this spot out if you are in the area.

Next time I would do only chili strips, the pickles weren't really working for me but that's a personal preference. The chicken wings were out of this world delicious. I would come back for those alone!!! They were tiny but OMGosh, so delicious. Juicy. Flavorful. Perfectly cooked. I also tried the baklava cheesecake which had a tremendous amount of coconut flavor from somewhere I could not identify and did not like at all. Bartender was gracious enough to take it off my tab and I tried the lava chocolate cake. It did not lava and I was very disappointed. Next time I will stick with cocktails, chili strips, & chicken wings. I didn't get to enjoy the rooftop patio but that was only because Mother Nature had plans to open up the sky and boy did she ever!! This place is definitely a vibe & would totally recommend it.

The ambiance was exquisite despite the somewhat loud noise level. The decor and the service were both top notch. Our server Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty. He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust.

The restaurant was dimly lit, with large whiskey barrels tastefully scattered throughout the space. The ambiance felt dressy casual with a touch of farmhouse charm, complemented by a curated country music playlist serenading us throughout the evening. Since we had mentioned when making our reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary, both the hostess and our waiter greeted us with a warm "Happy Anniversary" and surprised us with two complimentary glasses of champagne. It was a very thoughtful touch and set the evening off to a great start. For drinks, I ordered the Buffalo Trace whiskey flight, while my wife chose a shrub, which is a sweet fruity cocktail with a hint of vinegar (like apple cider vinegar or kombucha). We both thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. To start, we ordered the corn chowder with bone marrow, which was such a unique and incredibly delicious experience for both of us. You scrape the bone marrow directly into the soup, adding richness to both the flavor and texture, which were already excellent. For our entree, we shared the ribeye steak with duck fat fingerling potatoes, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. The steak was cooked to perfection and, surprisingly, had very little fat. The duck fat potatoes were soft, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal. For dessert, we ordered the Kentucky butter cake and...oh my...the salted bourbon caramel was absolutely amazing!

The establishment boasts a truly distinctive aesthetic recalling a refined Southern charm reminiscent of Georgia that immediately commands attention. The space is remarkably well-appointed, offering expansive outdoor seating alongside an interior that is pristine, polished, and spotlessly clean throughout.

The hospitality was top-tier from the moment I arrived gracious, attentive, and effortlessly polished.

I was immediately impressed by the staff. you couldn't ask for better care and warmth. we participated in any activities that were offered and made new and lasting friendships along the way. thru those years there were difficult times. I guess the most difficult was the pandemic when we were limited to movement within the building but you would be amazed attn lengths the staff went to to keep us happy. delicious meals were delivered to our door ( we ordered from our menu's ). Games were played at each door if you wanted to participate and there were fun prizes. The weekly wine socials were brought to your door. Meanwhile, all the necessary health precautions were taken. The apartments were thoroughly cleaned weekly. When necessary, immunization clinics were brought to each resident and if you wanted to participate, they made it easy. Eventually that passed and life got back to normal but it's hard not to recognize the professional handling of that difficult time. The building was renovated and mad lovely for us. If anything needed to be updated, it was life moved along smoothly and I must admit, to my surprise. There were many staff changes but amazingly, the staff remained warm and caring. Deep down, I can forget that they are dealing with many different personalities and sometimes elderly people can be a tad grumpy. The loving staff simply overlooks the bad days. Food is always an issue but the menu is large with choices for everyone. If that isn't enough, there's a really great Bistro you don't want to mis. The activities are numerous and year round. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and outings take place twice a week. All you have to do is signup. I can't close this without mentioning that my husband passed away in 2022. it was a difficult time made easier by the Fairwinds staff and especially the management. Being100% deaf and disabled, my family wanted me to move to assisted living despite my reluctance. Doralei warmly helped me make that decision to move and very graciously helped me find a comfortable apartment. The move was smooth and the golden treatment given by the health and Wellness staff has been perfect so I have to admit that it was the proper move. When I need appointments, the transportation service is wonderful and I can't forget to mention the wonderful drivers. Do you see how fortunate I furl that all those years ago, we made the decision to move here it was the perfect one. You can't go wrong.
