One of life's simple pleasures is to be a part of a Beer Club that meets every Sunday at a different brewery. My friend Jim sends out a text message about 11 AM. Lets us know the location and those who are available. Can meet up. Most of the time we catch up on life sometimes we talk about beer. Gravity bound is one of these places we always find ourselves returning to. It's a great location and parking on a Sunday is pretty good. To compliment the great hazy beers, there's a quasi food truck kind of catering thing that serves food that a lot of people order from. I would definitely recommend a stop by gravity bound and try one of their beverages. Great patio.

There are two reasons that I come to gravity bound. One is the patio is absolutely amazing and they keep making it better. Seriously I would totally hire them to do a pergola in my backyard. The other is while I'm not a beer drinker, I freaking love their kombucha. Love is metaphysical is my absolute favorite but even the one they currently have on top which is a little more citrusy is also beautiful. They're really good about keeping out that vinegar taste from the kombucha and it's genuinely the best I've had.

One of my favorite downtown patios by far! They recently just renovated and elevated their patio experience! The vibe is super chill and they always have a great selection of brews that rotate pretty frequently. The bartenders recognize us by now and are always friendly and welcoming! Great for a chill Sunday vibe or an after work treat :) Also if you love food trucks, they have a pretty good lineup including New Mex-a-Que and Teo's Tacos. Treat yourself next time you find yourself looking for a sweet patio to just vibe.

Really enjoyed this spot. This was my second time here. The first time was for a run club run where it was warm enough to enjoy the patio space. Last night we were bopping around trying ABQ spots that had beer and kombucha. Nice that they had a palo Santo kombucha on tap that was pretty tasty. Not a ton of beer, a Mex lager, 3 IPAs and another beer. Enjoyed the vibe, allowed to bring babies and kiddos and they had a Mexican food truck outside. Bartender was super nice and chatted with us a bit before we grabbed a table to watch the CFP game on their TV. Loved all the plants in the space too!

Nice place for a relaxing beer. Great beer selection, pricing, and outdoor and indoor seating. Servers were very warm and helpful, they didn't have food options themselves but a pop up pizza seller was making pizza on their location. Excellent location for refreshing drinks and relaxed socializing!

Life of Utter Gravity We stopped into this quaint brewery and tasting room to sample some of their suds, and we were blown away. A relatively young brewery, as Gravity Bound Brewing has been in business for less than five years but has quickly put the New Mexico brewing scene on watch with their stellar beers and their Quick Take IPA winning an award at the '22 NM Brewers Guild IPA Challenge. It's truly worthy of the award, as it might be one of the best Hazy IPAs I've ever tried with a smooth grapefruity finish with bold, hoppy flavor. The service here is also phenomenal, as they're all too happy to pour you sample shots to help you make a decision on what to imbibe in. No food but a welcoming, fun ambiance that you're more than welcome to bring your own food from home or wherever you choose. I believe they do have food trucks pulling up at certain days, but check the schedule as there was none during our visit. Dog-friemdly covered outdoor seating and street parking only rounds out what you'll need to know about visiting Gravity Bound.

We came here for post-dinner drinks. It was a nice spot for great beers. The brewery was also just wrapping up a trivia night and it seemed to be a nice community. I ordered a hazy and my partner ordered a festbeier. Both were delicious!!!!

Nichelle N.

My beer, The Pon Pon, was delicious, and the service was great. There is a nice outdoor space and the staff was helpful and kind.

Always been a fan of the friendly service and the beer. I'm not a big fan of crowded breweries that over rated . This one is my favorite and not too crowded . I wish they had some patio heaters or fire pits but it looks like they're looking to improve!!

Pleasant spot. Not the most beers, bit the ones they have are always great. Indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the homeless community is anchored just up the street.

What a great little jem! We tried another local brewery and it was packed so we looked at the map and tried Gravity Bound! What a great little place!! Having the Lemon Layer that has lemon and raspberries and coffee. Such a great flavor!! We are so happy to have found this place. We will be back!!!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Gravity Bound. It was very open, fresh air, lots of plants, and great mural artwork throughout. You're also able to sit outside if you'd like. We sat right on the edge of the interior so it felt like we were both inside / outside. While I enjoyed being able to eat at the food truck that was here today, Lucky Goose - (check out my review for them they're fabulous) I am unable to enjoy any alcohol beverages here because they do not serve anything catering to gluten free allergies other than a kombucha that is non-alcohol. Which was good in & of itself but when I come to a brewery I'd like to have 21+ beverage. Otherwise it was very clean, great staff / customer service. Nice spot to hangout! read more

I enjoyed gravity bound! It was a cool atmosphere and there was a nice indoor and outdoor space. This was one of the only places in Albuquerque that wasn't insane with Covid restrictions and I have to say that was a breath of fresh air. There weren't any free tables so we ended up sharing a table with a group of strangers. Nice to see people interacting with each other again. I will definitely return the next time in ABQ. read more

This is absolutely my new go-to brewery. It's small, yes, but mighty. Every beer I've had from there has been way above average for a new place. By a lot. And y'all know I'm a beer snob so that's saying a lot. It's small system so the taps change frequently. So go OFTEN. Also, they make lovely Kombucha inside and those flavors change frequently as well. It's a nice offering when you are out with non-imbibing folks. read more

I rarely write on Yelp. Although I should more since I use it for anything industry related and a resource for figuring out what my experience may or may not be. I've been on a solo road trip for over a month now and have experienced A LOT of places. Was looking for a great beer with WIFI to work for a few hours. The spot has a different type of charm from most breweries I have been to. It's comfortable, friendly, super clean, delicious beers, the garden on the property that's used in making some of the beers adds a nice touch AND the people that work there are so accommodating (especially given COVID). I'm an IPA fan and had the Green Scale and loved it. I'm not a Gose fan in general but they had me try the Garden Spot Cucumber Basil and I bought one to take home. Also, if your a Kombucha fan, they have that too, although I can't speak for the taste as I was happily consuming the IPA's. read more

Perfect early post-work stop on a Friday! Inviting space with great light, an amazing mural, and those all important garage doors typical of a repurposed downtown space. My husband and I hardly ever agree on beer, but we were both taken by the Terraform dark lager and ended up with a growler to take home - smooth and light in body with none of those heavy coffee or vanilla notes making it an ideal summer beer. The owners, a brother duo relocated from Colorado, certainly have all aspects of the business figured out from a friendly welcome to a pleasing aesthetic to great beer. Our new go-to spot! read more

Great new brewery in downtown ABQ! I had been eagerly awaiting their opening day, so as soon as I got back from a 10 hour drive from Kansas I made this my first stop. I tried four of their beers: Wichita Blue (a Berliner Weisse with blueberries and kiwi), Terraform (dark lager), Where Lightning Strike (Pilsner), and Proof of Life (Vienna lager). All were fantastic, but my favorite was definitely Proof of Life. Easy drinking but with loads of flavor! The space is designed really well and feels cozy but inviting. We met one of the owners, Chris, who was extremely friendly! This will definitely be one of my new go-to places for craft beer in Albuquerque. read more

Second trip to Albuquerque. This is the best brewery I've visited in this city so far. Highly recommend. Friendly staff and high quality drinks. The fruity sour beer might be the best sour I've ever had and the NE IPA did not disappoint. There was pizza for sale in the back and it's was perfect with a million tiny pepperonis. The only thing that is missing is more seating options because the place is busy. The word is obviously out that this place is the best. Can't wait to come back. read more

What a great place. My wife has native ancestry and when we were planning our visit to the area,…read morethis 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.

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!

The place and decor are quite cozy with warm and slightly dim lighting and some screens to watch a game or two. The tables can hold a good amount of people and even incentivize strangers to share some space. They have geeks who drink trivia on Wednesdays, by the way! The servers were quite attentive and fast. I think the manager was helped us first with our drinks. He was quite attentive. He sent another server for our food order. The other guy took our orders without notes and even remembering substitutions. The food was out in no time. Our drinks were decent with the blue berry açaí cider (the blackberry cider was too dry) and one of our friends had an IPA. I had the turkey pesto, the hubby had the Nashville hot fried chicken, and our friends had the Boese and the Cali burgers. The turkey pesto had a decent amount of turkey, but needed more pesto. The Nashville hot chicken was tangy more than hot, but it had a good flavor and on the drier end. Our friends described their burgers as ok. The fries were also ok. Overall, the ambiance and service were excellent providing a chill and friendly place to talk. The food and drinks were decent.

That said, for management: there's one issue that prevents me from leaving 5+ stars -- the styrofoam take-out containers: a huge environmental no-no.

The bread is clearly baked fresh and was nice and crusty on the outside and fluffy with the perfect chew on the inside. My mini me 1 inhaled her grilled cheese (of which my husband ordered the full size and also demolished his), and mini me 2 and I shared the toasted tuna melt. Good balance of tuna, celery, and bread ratio, but I didn't dig the olives in it. There's a mini kale salad that comes with entrees, and it was healthy and palatable for kale. We did end up balancing that green with the pistachio cruffin and pistachio chocolate chip cookie. Would definitely go back for the cruffin with its flaky layers and luscious pastry cream. Cookie was less impressive but still worth the impulse buy. Indoor and breezy outdoor seating available. Highly recommend!

We ordered and got a table inside right away. First impression is that its very inviting and cozy. Staff was so friendly. We ordered the lemon herb turkey sandwich, tuna toastie sandwich, and croque madam. Every single sandwich was absolutely delicious. The turkey had fresh dill and sprouts, avocado and this lemon jam which was the star. Tuna was so good. Some tuna is really fishy and this one had such a great flavor and the croque madam with that side of mustard was such a great combination. It was so good I came back during the week and had the beef sirlion sandwich that was so flavorful with the arugula and onion jam and had to finish it off with the best lemon blueberry muffin. Highly recommend if you are looking for good food with great flavor combinations.

As I walked in, the space was large and a very nice young woman greeted me at the counter. I looked over the menu and immediately saw the monte cristo sandwich. She immediately informed me it wasn't traditional meaning it wasn't fried and was on a croissant. I added a scrambled egg. When she asked what I wanted to drink, I chose the homemade chai with oat milk. It was a little cold in there so I asked for it hot. She offered me water which was self serve. I sat down where I could see the decor. She brought out my chai, nice foam on top. It was delicious and not too sweet. My sandwich came out and it was a nice size and they didn't skimp on the toppings. Ham, cheese, jam and egg and a side of fruit. Very tasty and reasonably priced. I'll definitely come back, maybe I'll try it for lunch.

Antiquity Restaurant

For our 20th anniversary, we were looking for more than just a great steak dinner, we wanted an…read moreexperience. After several locals recommended Antiquity, we quickly learned why reservations are so hard to come by. We couldn't secure a table on our actual anniversary, but managed to get one a couple of nights later, and it was well worth the wait. From the outside, Antiquity is understated. Step inside, however, and you're immediately welcomed into a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Old Town Albuquerque. Owner Steve, who has been running the restaurant for nearly three decades, greeted us personally. His passion for hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. While we waited briefly for our table, he took time to learn about us, ask what types of food we enjoy, and offer thoughtful menu recommendations. The restaurant itself is charming and authentic, with an old-world steakhouse feel that perfectly complements the historic New Mexico setting. Many of the tables and booths are arranged to create private, intimate dining spaces, making it an ideal choice for special occasions. We were touched when Steve seated us at what he called the "anniversary table," complete with a small scattering of heart confetti, despite our celebration having technically passed. Service throughout the evening was exceptional. Rather than relying on a single server, the entire staff worked seamlessly together. Water glasses were never less than half full, empty plates disappeared almost instantly, and every member of the team seemed genuinely invested in ensuring guests had a memorable experience. Even the kitchen staff engaged warmly with diners, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it exceeded every expectation. We started with oysters on the half shell, which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I upgraded to the special salad, a beautiful combination of greens, apples, strawberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts, bacon, and a creamy mini brie, all brought together with a delicious pear vinaigrette. For our entrée, we chose the Châteaubriand for two. It was expertly prepared, carved tableside, and cooked perfectly. Every recommendation we received was spot-on, and the meal was so impressive that before leaving, I made another reservation for later that week just so I could return and try more of the menu before our trip ended. Antiquity offers beer and wine rather than a full bar, which was perfectly fine for us and fit the restaurant's classic, understated character. This is not an inexpensive dinner, nor should it be. What you're paying for is exceptional food, genuine hospitality, flawless service, and an atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find. Antiquity doesn't simply serve dinner, it creates an experience. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a memorable meal, especially for a special occasion, this restaurant deserves a spot at the very top of your list.

No, so don't expect change for the sake of patrons' convenience. At least the person who answers the phone, and frankly, that's more than you get from most restaurants these days. Very unassuming on the outside. Inside, you can tell it's an established place that's been around for a while. Arrived a few minutes early for our celebratory reservation and were seated right away in a quiet, private book surrounded by art and dim lighting. For starters, my gumbo was good, and his salad looked as good as it tasted. For entrees, husband got sucked in by the specials and ordered the schnitzel, which (to quote Shania) didn't impress me much. To clarify, there was nothing wrong with it, but I've had a lot of schnitzel, and it just failed to stand out. I kept to the classics with a filet mignon. To my surprise, it left the same impression. Again, absolutely nothing wrong with it - cooked well, quality cut, etc. - but I've had more memorable steaks at High Noon Saloon. *shrug* Highlight: The servers were exceptional. Lowlight: The sconce / light fixture over our table was in need of a dusting. Overall: A lovely evening to toast my guy's significant professional achievement. Would recommend if you find yourself stuck in the rut of bad service when dining out. Antiquity's dinner service will remind you how a night on the town is supposed to feel!
