    Two cocktails are on a wooden table at a bar. The front drink is in a tall glass with a pineapple slice, large ice cubes, and a metal straw. The second drink, slightly behind, is in a stemmed glass with a dark cherry garnish and a straw. A person wearing a beige sweater is partially visible in the background, and the setting appears dimly lit.

    What a cool speakeasy esque rum bar on Central! While we did not have a reservation, the host was able to sneak us into a table for an hour or so. All of the weight staff were incredibly kind and helpful with the menu. The menu offered a wide range of rum, focused, as well as other spirit focused drinks both my friend and I were delighted with our cocktails in our overall experience. I would certainly recommend this for a fun bar experience on Central Ave!

    Round 2 - Three cocktails with flower garnishes are arranged on a marble table in a dimly lit environment. One drink is in a coupe glass with a purple flower, another in a tall glass with ice and a purple flower, and the third in a short glass with a lemon twist. A small glass of water is also visible in the background. The setting appears to be a bar or restaurant, with a warm, intimate atmosphere.

    We don't go to bars very often but some videos on instagram caught our attention. A friend came to visit for Balloon Fiesta and we thought it could be a good place for all of us to try. At first, I was confused because we entered through Little Bear Cafe. But once we turned left, we clearly saw the sign! Then, we were invited downstairs to a very fancy-looking, dim-lit space by a group of guys wearing very clean mechanic clothing. Everyone was great, attentive, and nice during our visit. Drink orders were very timely and we did not run out of water. As for our drinks, our first round consisted of the Monchito Matchalada, Cannonball Corpse, and Kino's Cannonball. The Monchito looked like a green smoothie, clearly indicating a healthy drink that was sweet and smooth with a nice texture. The Cannonball Corpse was not lying when it described a strong rum flavor with a hint of apple and walnut. Kino's provided a whole experience with burning cinnamon on top of a lime. It sparkled beautifully! Our second round included a Le Fleur, with nice acidity and a floral touch of lavender. The Tropical Fashioned was tiny but mighty with a more orangey flavor than a typical Old Fashioned. And last, the Mai Tai was also perfectly acidic and sweet. Overall, this was a great experience to share with our visiting friend. If only they have had some food, we could have stayed for one more round.

    Secret entrance - A dark corridor leads to a closed wooden door, with a vertical sign to the left of the door displaying the word 'DAYDRIAM' in red, illuminated letters. The sign is composed of individual circular lights with each letter inside. The surrounding area is dimly lit, with plain walls and a concrete floor, suggesting an indoor setting.

    Great service. Great drinks. Great vibe. Enough said. You'll definitely need to stop by and experience for yourself. (ADA accessible entrance available)

    Mai tai & classic daquri - The image shows two cocktails on a wooden table in a dimly lit environment. One drink is in a coupe glass with a lemon slice garnish, and the other is in a glass with floral and mint decorations, featuring a straw. A person wearing a black shirt is partially visible in the background.

    You desend stairs into the cutest little oasis. The menus are a fun newspaper and everything looks like a crisp upscale resort. But honestly the service might be what wins the rum bar the most flowers. Alex was so friendly and fun, knowledgeable and personable. We loved every suggestion, including the salt & vinegar chips that come opened in a "boat" with an umbrella. We will be back! Get a classic daquri. You won't regret it.

    Two cocktails are positioned on a wooden bar counter, each on a napkin. The left drink is a green frozen cocktail with a straw, a slice of lemon, and a spoon, while the right drink is a clear cocktail with a lemon slice garnish. The background features a wooden liquor display with circular cutouts showcasing various bottles, and a tablet device is visible on the bar shelf.

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.

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.

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.

    Such a fun cocktail bar in the historic Route 66 of ABQ! I had been eyeing Happy Accidents since a…read morefew years back and excited to finally get a visit. 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.

I'll stop being a fan boy and get to the review. The vibe is great. You don't come here to get wasted, you come to meet friends, both old and new. The music is a laid back groovy. The servers give you air and since they work as a team, you get great service all the time. Yesterday we came and I had a mocktail to start. I don't need booze with drinks like that. The bride had a grasshopper yesterday and today she had frizen dirty chai latte both were excellent and she preferred the grasshopper because it was like a Girl Scout thin mint. Yesterday was a mocktail and then a drink with alcohol. They both were outstanding. Today I did a martini flight and the Cacao, the alpine and the one with sandalwood. They are the perfect size for a flight. The Alpine was like a limoncello and is good. The cacao was also good. It wasn't chocolate overload but a true cacao taste. The big surprise was the sandalwood manhattan. What a smooth and dangerous drink. I'm not a fan of a manhattan but wowzer this could get me in trouble. It's so smooth and not too sweet, which is why I don't like manhattans. This by far my favorite place to have a cocktail. There are places I go to drink but the vibe, the drinks and accepting atmosphere make Happy Accidents an exceptional experience.

The menus are on a vinyl, to match their theme. And their drink menu is fun. What was disappointing was that 1. we had to wait 25 minutes for a bartender to show up and get our orders, then another long time to get the drinks. 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. Some or our drinks did not come out with all the "frills" and effects as described on the menu, so we missed part of the experience.

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. The gal at the front said the DJ has stepped away for a while but would be back soon enough. The drinks were ok, the service was so-so. We really wanted to like the place, hopefully next time things are more together.
