While in Albuquerque recently, we were on the hunt for our favorite brewery. Bow and Arrow filled the bill! From the moment we arrived, the service and ambiance were warm, welcoming, and where we wanted to be! Large and open, Bow and Arrow is spacious for folks to come for pint, small groups, as well as large groups and company events. We sat at the bar for more face-to-face service and had a great experience. We each got a flight and loved the ability to try four different beverages each since the menu is so extensive, creative, and delicious! I got the "Dos Arrows," "Wildly No. 1," "Bury My Heart," and "Lav Letters to the SW." I listed them in order of my favorites. Each beverage was complex, unique, and delicious! I would have enjoyed a full pint of each drink! Alas, 4 5oz beverages was enough! Prices are reasonable for such high quality beverages! We also loved that the brewery recognizes Indigenous land rights and supports Native American initiatives. Euro-Americans have much to learn from Native peoples, the original stewards of this land. But first, relationships, listening, and reparations are needed! We loved Bow and Arrow Brewing. We look forward to visiting again next time we are in town! read more

If I wasn't using my GPS, I would have missed this place because it's hidden behind a fence with greenery. Once I drove onto the parking lot, which is small, I was totally surprised that it was there. A food truck is onsite. Inside is spacious and most tables were filled with patrons. There was live music and a line of folks purchasing their beer to go. Another bit of information, it's the country's first Native American Women Owned Brewery in the U.S. read more

What a great place. My wife has native ancestry and when we were planning our visit to the area, this was a "must." It didn't disappoint! The beer was excellent. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. And the vibe is somewhat "elevated" without being at all pretentious. read more

This place came highly recommended from my brother who is a beer conisouer. It didn't disappoint. First of all native American woman owned is just so cool. Their space is big and beautiful and feels like a great spot for birthdays or big group hangs. The beer is awesome. The cactus colada was super good. They also just released a hop water that was super tasty and I loved that it wasn't super hoppy. I thought they had kombucha, so this was a nice substitution. They also have foosball and typically have a food truck outside this spot. read more

There are a lot of choices when it comes to craft beer taprooms in Albuquerque. So every time I'm in town (usually just once a year) I like to visit several and if possible, try one that I've not yet been to. This year Bow & Arrow was the new one for me. Upon entering, it was quickly apparent that this is a fairly substantial operation. The taproom itself is as huge as a Bavarian beer hall, with high ceilings and community tables. The room has an industrial vibe accented with New Mexican inspired graphics and decor. One can get a glimpse of the brewery itself through windows near the entrance. As I remember, the beer was very good -- I ordered "Loyal to the Land," a Czech style dark beer. Though not as deep in color as the beer I enjoyed in Prague a few years ago, the flavor was spot on. The best quality of a dark Czech beer is that despite its inky black color, it is almost as light on the palate as a full bodied lager. Bow & Arrow's Czech style hit all the right notes for me. The only thing lacking was a shot of Becherovka on the side. I definitely recommend stopping in for a beer or two -- I know I will the next time I'm in Albuquerque. read more

Bow and Arrow Brewing was great - ample variety of seating, low comfortable light in the evening made the place a chill place to hang and try a few brews. I read on one of the seats in the couch-like area. Staff was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the beer options were plentiful and all well done that I tried. read more

I'd been wanting to visit this brewery since it's opening, as I'd heard about it through Indian Country. Tender to the bar was incredibly friendly and provided a couple samples, which was appreciated. We appreciated the diversity of beers available, although wish there were some less-hoppy IPAs, but I/we understand that technically we're on the "West Coast." Interior of the brewery was spacious and there seemed to be a regular clientele that visits, so it had more of a "bar" feel than other breweries. My only regret was not getting a t-shirt, but I'll save that for my next visit. read more

This is one of my favorite breweries in Albuquerque, likely my favorite. I really like the vibe, with warm lighting, wooden tables, cool big rustic chandeliers, the look of the bar, nature images and logos. Even the beer labels are pretty. There is a community feel here, with big long communal tables and events like political debate watch parties, holiday markets with lots of indigenous makers, yoga, trivia, fundraising events, and political debate watch parties. It can be a little weird of a feel sharing a table with strangers, but is also cool. I like the unique beers that don't just taste like all others, especially the fruity sours. There are a variety of interesting subtle flavors in them, nice colorings, and serving glasses. I also love supporting a business that's indigenous, women, and queer owned. They use their beer, brewery and events to highlight native issues and other indigenous business owners. I like going and supporting it read more

Bow & Arrow Brewing - My tasty pumpkin stout while listening to really good instrumental music. - Breweries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Native American woman-owned brewery? HELL YEAH! As a Native woman, I was so excited to learn about and support this place. All of the staff I interacted with were very nice and they have a pretty good "non-beer" menu for those of us who don't like beer. I had the mojito and margarita from the canned cocktail list. I wasn't too fond of the mojito but the margarita was good. Very nice atmosphere and decor. They did have a food truck on site but I'm not sure if that's a regular thing. I'm mad I forgot to buy merch before I left, esp since I live out of state read more

A go to stop whenever I have friends visiting from out of town. Just an all around great spot to grab a beer. Service is always very prompt and friendly. Plus they have a great variety of food trucks there should you get hungry as well as some tasty pretzels inside. Love hanging out outside, but love seeing all the different events they host there. From a mushroom group to goth night you are guaranteed to find something to strike your fancy. Support this native owned brewery. read more

This is my ABQ Beer Passport review for Bow & Arrow. Mid day on a Thursday and it was two of us, two ladies at another table and one guy at the bar (so service was very good). I had the Denim Tux Pilsner which was light and crisp, but it seemed to lose its crispness as it warmed up. Also had the Oktoberfest 25, which was so tasty I took a 4-pack home with me. I really enjoyed sitting in this taproom. A couple of employees hopped up to the bar after their shifts and what appeared to be the brew master and the owner went to the end of the bar to look at spreadsheets on a laptop. All of them seemed to really enjoy their own beer, as would I if I were lucky enough to work there! No kids (always a huge plus for an adult who likes his adult beverages without other people's spawn around). The vibe was old cocktail bar'ish with very low lighting and not a lot of natural light, so cave like. The music was way too loud for the lack of patrons, but was turned a bit down at some point and the mix was pleasant (again, like a cocktail bar). The parking lot is small and a mess, with all of the spots full, despite the small number of customers. So, plan on parking in the street around the brewery. The taproom and restrooms were super clean, showing a lot of pride in this business. They offer some authentic looking pretzels in house and a food truck was setting up as we were leaving. They have a small stage for musicians and a foosball table that was shoved into a corner, so not very playable. I was immediately drawn to the Oktoberfest banners hanging above the bar and ordered some before even scanning the menu. Any brewery that advertises like that AND has pretzels must be serious about their version of Oktoberfest barley sodas! I can say they should be proud. They have cans to go but could not tell if they filled growlers. They have a small patio in front, but it doesn't offer much of a view of anything other than the employees vehicles. If I lived closer, or wanted a very nice tap room to take friends or clients to, I could see spending a lot of time here, it was that comfortable. But, in the end it is about the beer and Bow & Arrow Brewing knocks it out of the park! read more

Visited this spot during my Albuquerque trip and it was a highlight of my trip. It's very comfy with the different types of seating all around. My kid and nieces enjoyed the foosball table. I got a flight and enjoyed my beers (IPA, Stout and Porter). They had a pupusa truck outside the night I went. Pupusas and beer.? Say less. read more

Bow & Arrow Brewing - Desert Standard Czech Pils - Breweries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

A women and Native American-owned brewery where the beer is brewed on Native American land? That's so cool, and I haven't stumbled upon a brewery as unique as Bow & Arrow. This review is dedicated to close out Women's History Month for March! This was my favorite brewery spot of my trip in Albuquerque! It's very modern inside, and there is so much open space; it's the perfect spot to go with friends or family due to the benches in the middle of the brewery. We sat outside and enjoyed our drinks by the fire. They also have outside seating! I got myself a nice IPA; I believe it was the Scenic west! read more

A brewery you can feel great about supporting, and the beers are good too! I'm not a huge beer gal so I loved the hard seltzer options and cocktails in a can. The food truck on-site when we went was serving papusas and tamales which were awesome to nosh on while sitting outside in the sun. There's a huge interior with long communal tables, bar tenders were efficient and friendly, loved stopping in on a Saturday afternoon! They even have water bowls outside for the 4 legged friends. read more

As craft brew afficionados, we love discovering new breweries along our travels- which has become a bit harder when traveling with two kiddos...discovering Bow & Arrow made me happy & jealous at the same time haha overall their place was absolutely gorgeous both inside & outside I was happy because their outdoor picnic area was a fantastic hangout spot for us with the kids- the long picnic tables were well spaced out & gave a great relaxing vibe. The kids were entertained by looking at their cactus garden & everyone was super friendly (bonus- the area was a well-kept gated area off the road-safe in plenty of room) I was jealous because their inside atmosphere was a vibe- it made me wish we didn't have the kids, so we could cozy up on the couch area or enjoy the high top tables, nice lighting, and modern mellowed out ambiance Even better the beers matched the fantastic looks! Just Vote & Picking Guitars were hoppy perfection- creamy, hazy, hoppy-each very unique flavor profiles of distinct quality- we also bought Scenic West to-go & was very palate pleased with the dank piney west coast hop blend (all really reasonably priced) we ended up buying more of their beer from the local Total Wine when we found it! Also a really awesome aspect to discover was the brewery is owned by Native American women brewing on Native American Land, giving them a prideful boast read more

By far one of the coolest breweries I've ever been to. I think this is a must-visit while in Albuquerque. It's located in a very industrial part of town, so that was kinda strange but upon walking inside you are transported to somewhere else entirely. A huge space with awesome large chandeliers and all kinds of communal seating options. Loved the atmosphere here. We happened to come here on their 7th anniversary party so the place was popping. Very fun! I tried the easy cactus (dark Mexican lager) and their special bday drink seven layer cake ipa. I don't like ipa's but this was a coconut one and it was sooooo good. So unique. Their beers are smooth and flavorful. The service was fast and helpful. They also have an upstairs area you can rent out for parties. We will def come back next time we are in town! read more

I'd never tried anything from Bow & Arrow, and since I was in the mood to play Geeks Who Drink, I decided to visit them on Monday evening. I tend to prefer darker beers, so I tried their Proper Fall Beer, an oatmeal stout with pumpkin pie spices and cacao nibs. Sometimes oatmeal stouts can be a little sweet, but this one wasn't. It was a beautiful balance of beer, spice, and that hint of chocolate. Really delicious! I plan to return with my GWD winnings and try some other beers - and, most likely, take some Proper Fall beer home with me! read more

Bow and arrow brewing was a bull's-eye! I could not believe I found such a fantastic, phenomenal delicious brewery in Albuquerque. I got a flight of IPAs and they were all easy to drink well-balanced not such a juice bomb like they have out in New England. They had a nice huge indoor area and outdoor area. I love how you can buy single cans and mix and match for a four pack. I would definitely recommend the spot and will definitely come back. read more

I popped into Bow & Arrow after a hot day walking around the Petroglyphs and was met with cool bar with tasty beverages! Bow & Arrow is playing with a lot of fun and flavorful native ingredients that are sure to please any palate. The bar tenders are knowledgeable about the flavors and happy to give you a taste if you're having trouble deciding. It was a slow day so the bartender even came to me at my distant perch (I was smelly and didn't want to bother people so I went super far Away). My friend who is a local said it was her favorite brewery and I can see why. read more
