The waitress could have been anywhere and not known. Not sure if it's being stoned or just careless. The food we ordered took over an hour and we never got it as we had tickets to a show. Chicken wings a burger and frito pie don't take over an hour especially when we were the only table. I'll never go back to go to a show hungry and disappointed. read more

Called to ask where the entrance was, owner said "are the doors locked? Then we aren't open" Online it says open till midnight 12am on Sunday. Don't have to be an asshole and could be competent enough to have legit hours. Waste of a space. read more

Great food and service. Mariah makes great cocktails and the security keeps out the riff raff down town.

I can't rave enough about the quality service, food and ambiance Bourbon & Boots exudes! I hosted a wedding shower for 30 guests with the assistance of the incredible, professional and helpful GM, Rhiannon. Before arriving to decorate my event, the staff already had tables and table clothes ready. They took the guess work out of a very special occasion. Please try their brunch- eggs Benedict, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs and yogurt parfaits were delicious. Not to mention the most tasty breakfast potatoes I've ever tried. The waitresses and staff took amazing care of my large party! Especially Brianna, attentive, friendly and professional! If you have an event or just want a good drink with yummy food with a killer setting try Bourbon & Boots! read more

Bourbon & Boots - Set up for an amazing bridal shower - Sports Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Fun spot. DJ was horrendous and drinks were fine. It was a fun introduction to ALBQ for the first time.

Yelp etc says this bar is open on Sunday. Nope. Wasted trip! We went to Sisters instead but of course there were zero boots

WALK AWAY FAST... they had just opened the doors for the evening 5:00 on a Thursday ( NO one else was in the restaurant our waiting to enter) Upon entering they wanted to pat us down & search all purses & bags for weapons. We refused and walked out and the employee stood at the door watching us walk all the way to our car. read more

We were downtown doing some bar hopping and this was the last place we stopped. They had a DJ that was playing a good variety of music. Everyone danced and had a great time. There was a good selection of beer and drinks. The restroom was clean and there was plenty of seating for our group. The staff was friendly and attentive. If you are looking to just relax and have a good time then this place is for you. read more

Bourbon & Boots - Sports Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So much potential yet so much disappoinment. Looks like a great renovation from the old Maloney's when you walk in but the service was horrible. The female bartender was working her butt off servicing the entire long bar table, cleaning tables, etc the other staff not so much. We came during a non-peak hour and it took 40 min to get service. Unfortunately it had a lot of hype but a lot of disappointment. read more

Bourbon & Boots - 40 min wait to get a beer for non busy day "disappointed" - Sports Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

They collaborate with wing it up now. Wings are pretty good, but WAY over salted. Inside the place was okay. Service was nonexistent and they require payment (and tip) before the food is ever even turned into the kitchen. Area is really sketch so be careful. read more

Entered the establishment with some hope was met with some resistance. The staff was not attentive at all! A large group went in after me and they catered to them but not my small group. It is clear they are all about the $$$. Perhaps some further training should be provided. Couldn't help feeling a certain race was given treatment prior to us. Unfortunate. Tons of potential here. Never got to try the food as service never came our way. Very small damce floor if your wondering. The Bar back could not even tell me what his favorite dish was. The restrooms were meh, kinda run down for a "renovated" bar. Feel free to see what I mean on attached photo. Left immediately to 505 courtyard and that was a far better choice. Only one street away to the west. read more

Tall ass Cowboy checking ID's!! Food!! Service!! Ambiance!! For a Sunday Night.. This place was All That!! My family and I had BIG FUN!! Hidden Jewel in The Duke City!!! Oh yeah! Super clean establishment read more

This place is a scam with a crappy atmosphere they have menus all over the bar listing the specials and when I ordered a drink from the specials menu the bartender charged full price because I didn't specify I wanted the special....I was holding the specials menu and pointing at it while I ordered. read more

Was excited to try a new place on vacation but when we tried to go in during open hours we were rudely greeted by a strange man with no indication that he even worked there mumbling "not tonight". When my partner tried to confirm if he meant they weren't serving food tonight he again just mumbled "not tonight". We left feeling extremely confused and uncomfortable. While we tried to figure out what to do next that man and another man inside the restaurant just stared at us through the front doors. Overall I'm not sure what the issue was but I would suggest customer service training for the staff who great customers. I didn't appreciate the weird looks after the whole ordeal from two men either. It felt really gross. I would say try elsewhere so you're not treated the same. read more

This place sucks it wreaks of shit and piss, disgusting undercooked food, would not recommend this bar to anyone, the service was mediocre at best read more

Doesn't update holiday hours. Lack of detail in everything related to this restaurant.

Bourbon Located at the Crossroads of historic Route 66, in the heart of Downtown Albuquerque. We bring you an array of bourbon, beer, spirits, and some of the best hand-crafted cocktails in the Southwest.  Boots Our large dance floor is always boot ready. If you feel like leaving your boots at home, come in and watch your favorite sports team on one of our many TV's. First off this bar is very beautiful downtown. I remember the old Malone's, but the aesthetics inside are very modern and perfect for two stepping and sipping on good bourbon. I'm so excited that there is now country music in the heart of downtown ABQ. The drinks we tried this evening Miss M, Miss Lisa and Old Fashion. All of them were delicious, cold and fresh. Customer service was wonderful, I asked about the whiskeys and the bartenders were very knowledgeable and friendly. As of right now I have no complaints about Bourbon and boots and look forward to coming back and seeing some bands. read more

Bourbon & Boots just opened and has already impressed me. In all the cities I have lived in, I have never been in a bar with such a nice crowd and such good dancing! (I hear TX is a force to reckon with but I have never lived there). The staff was top notch and always friendly. The customers were so delightful and willing to swap dance partners or share moves. The bar is beautiful, small and intimate. Come early because they do reach capacity quick! I am not sure how often they will have music but during opening weekend night they had awesome live music. Looking forward to many more fun nights at Bourbon & Boots! Also, there are always food trucks out on central if you're looking to snag a bite before dancing your butt off!! read more

STAY AWAY!!! I bought a red bulk and vodka with a few other drinks and paid. When my sister drank her mixed drink found that it didn't have any vodka so she went and asked. The bartender attempted to look for the check but gave up. So I went up and asked and she said she put alcohol. So I asked for another shot. It was $8 something. I gave her $9. She didn't give me change so I asked for it and she took it out of her tip jar. We go outside and a bouncer says we're too drunk and need to leave. It was our first drink and the manger comes out and says the bartender feels uncomfortable and we need to leave and takes the extra shot we paid for and says "you said there was nothing in it" I ask for my money back or the drink. they refuse and kick us out. read more

Amazing service and drinks by some of the most beautiful bartenders I've seen in Albuquerque! They have an impressive selection of hard to find bourbons and whiskey, and Krystal steals the show with her margarita.... Tall cowboys working security were very courteous and professional. Can't wait to two step with the ladies with Nathaniel Krantz playing live next weekend! read more

Amazing spot. Lunch or evening time. Staff is always friendly, the facilities were very clean and the staff is great at what they do. Food came out hot and fast. We were constantly checked on and beverages were constantly refreshed. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

I needed to find a place to watch the game Sunday night. The place I wanted to go was closed. I found a parking spot near by thankfully. Place was dead close to 9pm. That was actually nice for me. I didn't order any alcohol, just water. I was hungry so I ordered the chips and queso plus their green chile brisket Mac & cheese. I was disappointed. The queso was like the movie theater packaged cheese, super thick and cold. I was mad at myself for paying $8 for it. The creamy Mac and cheese was meh. Opposite. It was very thin, should eat with a spoon. Not a lot of cheesy flavor, mostly liquid and the brisket and green Chile is placed on top. I'm not sure if people go here to eat. I would not eat here. $24 for what I had wasn't worth it. The waitress was very nice, the stars are for her. Restrooms are decent, not super nice & clean. read more

Went here on a Thursday based on a tip from local Albuquerque. However, the music didn't live up to the name as nothing "boots" about it. The food menu was limited. Very young crowd. Has promise as a live music venue on Friday or Saturday. Bright spot: staff were friendly & customer service focused. read more

Horrible wanna be country bar. Manager and workers are shady and drama. Good way to ruin your night out. First of all the vibe in there was just sad. I got a vodka and red bull and it just tasted like Red Bull, no vodka so I let the bar tender know. She said " are you asking me to buy another shot" I told her I really just wanted to check the receipt to make sure my sister ordered me the right thing. It was loud so miscommunications can happen. But she looked and told me she couldn't find anything with that last name. She told me she had 300 tickets so she couldn't find my Red Bull order. And there was only like 10 people in the bar. She kinda gave me attitude and obviously didn't want to find it. Maybe 4-5 people ordered after me and she's the only bar t. She also just has a security guard next to her at all times ready to pounce which I did realize was weird to start. Anyways, My sister buys me a vodka shot to put in my Red Bull. The bar t didn't even give her her change. My sister had to ask for her change and the bar t took it out of her tip jar. So we go outside and the bar tender complained about us saying "we're too intoxicated" " she's not comfortable". Literally just hanging out. It was literally my first drink AND it didn't even have alcohol in it haha." we honestly don't care what you say you need to get out now" we asked to speak to someone cuz it was probably just a misunderstanding. The manager comes out saying" it doesn't matter what you say you need to get out" she proceeds to grab my drink out of my hand saying " it doesn't have alcohol anyways right! RIGHT" (I had just poured my shot in it.) That spills everywhere and she starts yelling at us and acting crazy... and the bouncers are protecting her like she's being attacked haha. Obviously she does this all the time. I've never seen so much unnecessary drama in my life. First time I ever got kicked out of a bar. The only thing I can honestly think is. White guilt over the new bar tender? Or they're just shady cuz it literally made no sense to me. But just what I observed. Weirdest experience I've had in my life. Most unprofessional manager to grab my drink n try to fight me and also hide behind her body guards when literally no one's ever trying to do anything to her. I was just standing there in shock. Wouldn't refund us for the shot she just dumped. Idk like I said weird af. read more

Despite being the only customers in the whole place at 5 pm on a Monday, I sat at our table for 10 minutes while the two bartenders looked at their phones. I finally went up and ordered a drink, and the guy seemed surprised. And reading all the other reviews about the service, I'm not surprised. And it definitely gives off an unsafe-for-women vibe. Wack. read more

Great place to have a drink didn't k ow they had food before we got there. Staff was great.

Ordered the catfish, it was 'ok' however 2am came around and I began to vomit and heave all night into the late afternoon today. Not sure about the other food but don't order the catfish. read more

I came here on a Sunday night and my bartender Megan was so attentive and friendly. She made the best drinks and very quick. Our server Brittney was on top of her game and brought out of drinks pretty fast. The music was great and the vibes of the night were perfect! read more

Bourbon & Boots - a plate of food with fries and a sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Love coming here, and listening to live music. Had a great time every time I have been here

The bartenders are great, the food is great, the drinks are great and they have a dj on most nights. However, the security guard at the front door is super homophobic and has refused to let me in the bar on numerous occasions. If I go to this bar to enjoy a good old fashioned and watch the game or listen to some pretty good djs when he is not working I have a great night. However every time I have gone to this bar and he is working, he refuses to let me in claiming I have had too much to drink, even on nights that I'm sober. I like this bar but they should really look into the morals of their employees. It's unaccountable for them to deny service to patrons based on personal beliefs. read more

Excellent service and the Shrimp PO Boy was delicious. Looking for some good vibes and live music while we're are in Albuerque

Awful staff and service! Spend your money at better bars and don't waste your time here.

It was a great experience a lot different then a bar in Arkansas, more of a night club for a younger crowd but I got cut off after three drinks so I'm a little disappointed so I guess just don't stand at the bar lol. If you are reading this then know the food was not present only drinks they were alll good but I wanted more I had just started to get tipsy when they said no more read more

Bourbon & Boots - A lot of ppl lol, max capacity there's a line out front on a Thursday night!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

For a place that sounds country but doesn't play country. But if they do, it's not the right vibe for it and the DJ doesn't care and takes requests but doesn't play they. If I could give a negative rate on the place and DJ, I would honestly read more

What a crap hole. the music sucks, the drinks are watered down and the ambiance is lame. There are a thousand other places to,go that are fun, inviting, and the vibe is so much better. It's sad when they have such a great opportunity and they ruin it with greed and inconsideration. While inside with maybe 4 other people on a Friday night, horrible music was blaring and my friends tried to get in the door. Mind you, there was no line and only a couple other people in the place, but my friend,tried to come in. However, the big man bouncer decided to not let the, in because he was told that he was too intoxicated. Sadly, my friend only had one drink and it was up,to the decision of some punk whether or not to let them in. A 22 yr old making decisions that has absolutely no experience? The best part: it was done out of malice. He was joking around with the bouncer and the child got his feelings hurt. No worries, though - the place is disgusting and cheap so we all left anyway. We have plenty of money to spend elsewhere... read more

They tore down my beloved Maloney's to put up this tiny little country bar where there's not that much space to dance! I don't understand what's going on with downtown but charging five dollars to get in the bar is ridiculous especially when back in the early 2000's it was free to bar hop downtown now they charge each of these places this place charges five dollars per person that's too much to go listen to some run of the mill country band sorry but we won't go in there and less were desperate read more

Staff is friendly and attentive. I don't understand the impossible burger being served plain- if i wanted to feel like i was in a cafeteria putting my own mustard or Mayo on a burger i would've stayed home. Why do the other burgers on the menu get all the fancy attention and sauces and all i get is a dry bun and slices of avocado that fly out? The variety was ok for food-the selection of drinks is nice. Bourbon focused of course. read more

This place was great. Cool vibe. The guy at the door, Trent, was awesome. He was chill and super cool.

It was so much fun will definitely be back so happy they finally opened a country bar downtown they had good music and I would say that drinks where a little pricy but definitely worth coming to. read more
