Will someone that makes the music decisions upstairs PLEASE get a DJ that plays some decent music? Also, clear the tables a little quicker especially after happy hour. The place was a wreck after happy hour and no one picked up. Not a good impression. read more

While staying at the Andaluz this week, I needed to find a nice place to watch the Thunder game. Was happy to discover great cocktails, and a large-but-not-too-large TV, tuned to the station, but no sound, which allowed for conversation and listening to the good music - best of both worlds. I had the vodka tonic made with Fever Tree tonic and grapefruit, as well as Zsa Zsa's cocktail with vodka, grapefruit, St Germain. The bartender was lovely, and other patrons were a mix of locals and fellow hotel guests. We also tried the hummus - so good with crispy sesame lavash crackers. It was a little too chilly for us to enjoy the patio, but we surmised this was pretty much the perfect little hotel bar. read more

Don't go here. I'm not sure what was worse the service or overpriced drinks. We were STOKED to spend a Wednesday evening at Ibiza. We came for the view, stayed for a drink, left because of the abuse. After walking through an empty bar (6 people) we sat waiting to order for 10 minutes. Not bad. Not good. We finally ordered and waited 15 minutes. We questioned the waitress about why it was taking so long. She informed us that there were people at the bar asking questions. Apparently two bartenders are needed to answer questions, who knew? We waited another 10 minutes when our 4 drinks came. We asked again what the issue was because it seemed a bit ridiculous to wait that long in an empty bar and our waitress informed us there were more important people that needed to be served before us. She also told us that "she didn't know what else to say", slapped her hands down to her side and stormed off in the style of a moody teenager. We left immediately. read more

There are many ways to know a "corey g" (yeah, I'm goin' third person on you). If you wanted to know me by going places, I'd say stop in a place such as this. Ibiza is a cool bar at the Hotel Andaluz (I was also staying at the hotel). I stopped by a few times. The first time was to catch the last few minutes of the Celtics/Cavs game. I didn't want to get a drink, but the bartender saw me and asked if I'd like a water. He gave me one with a lime in it. He was cool. Made it here a couple of times during the weekend. Just love the set up here. There's the bar area. Then there's an outdoor rooftop patio, complete with a cool fountain with fire! On the weekends a DJ spins and scratches outside (well, mainly spins); I was surprised he was outside in Nov--it was chilly out--the party must go on though, right?? While dining at the hotel restaurant I ordered a drink from here (an Old Fashioned...I like to test bartenders), and they totally made me a nice and unique drink. Now on the weekends, this place was fairly packed. There might have been waits for drinks, but they also had servers scanning the area. I believe Ibiza also includes some of the adjoining alcove-y rooms nearby. they looked warm and cozy. Now the people here might have been a little more pish posh than me, but I still liked the vibe. read more

This is a nice rooftop bar inside of the Hotel Anduluz. It's on the second floor with the hotel rising on the south and west sides. This is nice in that it provides a nice shade and gives you a view of the mountains. (A downside of this is that it also gives you a view into hotel rooms. Before the night is over, you will probably see a naked man standing by his window as I did. Alas, no naked women...) The bar has a large fireplace/waterfall in the middle and a good variety of seating for large and small groups. There's good downtempo music playing in the background that won't drown out a conversation. I ordered a Bombay Tonic. This is one of their special gin and tonics. Besides the Bombay Sapphire, it contains juniper berries and muddled ginger and grapefruit rind. It's served with a small bottle of local(?) tonic water. A nice drink for a warm night in Albuquerque. The night I went (Tuesday), Ibiza was rather empty. Maybe six small groups and a few individuals. The waitresses did say that this was odd. read more

Never had a bad time here, always outstanding service. Our most recent trip here was for a private birthday party, and the whole thing was handled very, very well. We had a great server, the manager was on top of things, and any problems we encountered along the way (like say, a sudden monsoon downpour) were handled professionally and without hesitation. One of the things I really like here is the cocktail list. They take some old favorites and refresh them. For instance, the jalapeno cucumber margarita. Man, so good. Or their Conrad Collins. Amazing. Their gin and tonic even comes with real juniper berries. I love that. The rooftop patio deck is an awesome place to hang. Lots of space to lounge, great view of the mountains. I really do recommend this bar if you want to try something special in the Duke City. read more

Really nice drinks, surprisingly vegetarian friendly, and really nice outdoor space! Easily able to accommodate our group of 10, but I would imagine that was because we arrived right at 5. read more

On a major metropolitan scale this is a three, although for Albuquerque a solid 3.9 The location is beautiful. Fans might help the outdoor space as the tables near the building don't get much air movement. My wife noted that using a mister system as in Arizona might also be nice addition. Still, a very nice outdoor location for sunset. The food like the food downstairs at Más is solid, and frankly the best in town. This said, the execution from chef to table in bar outside is not as solid as it is downstairs. Flavors of course are excellent and inspired. The cocktails are superior. However, given the length of time between even getting attention at all from a server who seemed slammed to receiving a cocktail and a beer were simply unacceptable. My hypothesis is that because they have an excellent mixologist, there is a bottleneck during prime time secondary to the goal of paying for such excellence. The number of servers picked up over time, but even so, the bottleneck continued. The beer selection was standard, a tiny bit uninspired, and it would have been nice to display ABV and ABU for a beer town such as ABQ. Service is very reasonable, compassionate, and tainted only by what we felt were bottlenecks in food preparation and drink preparation.. Parking is either in a garage next door and you can get this validated in the check in office downstairs for the hotel, or valet up front and is complementary. A tiny bit convoluted to get there with downtown and some one way streets. All in all a nice place to go, and a place to which we will return read more

Great place to catch an early-evening rooftop view of downtown Burque while enjoying friends and the fireplace. I'm pretty sure the only reason our service was so great this time, despite being a relatively slow start to their season, was because I was not able to stop myself from flirting with our smokin' hot and super fun waitress. Other times I have been there the service has been uber professional but often a bit of a patience exercise. The drinks were a tad bit juicier than alcoholy, but that was perfect because we were there for quality time. They tasted AMAZING and were the topic of many positive comments. Those who are not into people watching, being well dressed, do not enjoy crowds or expertly combined drinks may wish to go somewhere else. Ibiza is hot, and it knows it. I'm perfectly okay with that, especially if I have the right people and occasion to celebrate. I'll for sure be back. read more

See all

I went here simply because it was inside the hotel I was staying at. The bartender and staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to food and local beers. They have about a half dozen on tap and it actually changed during the week I was there which was nice. The happy hour food prices are good. The Asian wings are five dollars for about six wings, the usual price is about $11 for 10 wings so kind of half price. The chicken nachos were not great. It was like diced chicken that you would get in a fast food salad. The flavor was pretty good but not worth the money. I did get it on happy hour pricing for five dollars but still I don't think it was even worth that. They have an outdoor area which is nice, but the second night I was there it was closed off because they were afraid of wind problems in the windows. Overall a pretty nice place if you're in the hotel, if not I would go somewhere else. read more

Amazing atmosphere and fairly good drinks. There's one bartender who didn't know how to make a few drinks that she created.. which was interesting, and then double shook an egg white drink which really watered down the drink but after that let us keep the few she goofed on so that was good. My high rating is more for the atmosphere and vibe, it really is a cool spot where you can get away from the noise and have a more intimate evening. read more

This is a beautiful bar and patio in the downtown area. Everything about this place exudes class, from the flashy bar set-up to the spacious outdoor area complete with a central open-air fire. There's a nice view of the mountains, comfy couch seating to lounge and waiters and waitresses to make sure that all one does is enjoy. During our recent Yelp event, I made it a point to try a mixed drink and asked for a Paloma, the tequila and grapefruit drink. It was fair, kind of weak on the liquor and flavor and not as generous as I'd have hoped, but this only served to bring me over to the beer menu where I feel more comfortable anyways. I liked that there was a respectable selection of beers, not something I'd usually expect from such a swanky place, and I had fun trying a few different brews. They had O'Dell and Marble on tap, among a few other macrobrews, and several other options in bottles. It was enough options to make me think I could spend an evening there and not get fed up with whatever I was drinking. As for the food, our fine community manager Howie hooked us up with some munchies, and the most notable to me were the truffle fries. Now, I'm not sure if it was truffle oil or simply truffle salt, but I could've finished five trays of these bad boys. The truffle flavor really came through in each bite, unlike other places where the smell seduces you only to find a standard fry when you take a bite. I must confess I was thoroughly impressed with Ibiza and found the crowd to be pretty cool too and even came around to liking the DJ for playing some bachata---which made up for some questionable earlier mixes. I would certainly bring out-of-towners here and make a trip from time to time with my wife to soak in the city. read more

The hotel is beautiful, the rooftop bar has a great setup. The DJ was good (the speakers were great) - but somehow, the mood/ atmosphere just wasn't there.. Also, it's self-service style which is odd for being so fancy.. read more

This bar is adorable. We went to the Happy Hour and had cheap drinks. I had the sangria (very strong, and yummy fruit), and my boo had the margarita. Both drinks were delicious! The service was great, and the bar was clean and well decorated. They even let us take drinks back to our room! Loved it. read more

Excellent rooftop patio--Burque needs more of these--and delicious drinks (if a little expensive) on the second floor of Hotel Andaluz downtown. This is where the fancy people hang out ... last week I was at an Ibiza party attended by an Academy Award-winning actress. The waitresses keep it real, though, with those platform flip flops. read more

I was looking for a good happy hour while visiting a friend that lives in Albuquerque and we stumbled upon this one! I was quite excited. Checked the website, everything looked good. We get up to the door and there's a camera crew inside and a girl sneeking out saying "I think there's some sort of filming going on" in a soft whisper. What?? We proceeded downstairs and asked around. Apparently the place is closed for the winter? No sign on the door, no update on the website. I understand ice cream stands closing in the winter up in Michigan, but come on-people still drink in January! And this is the south. What a disappointment (both in the loss of a good happy hour and the lack of info to the public.) read more

I don't recommend coming here! First of all, it's hardly a rooftop with a view; just a second story with a pretty sad little view of across the street. We ordered a tequila shot, a brand we pay $18 for in Southern California. When we got our bill, we saw that we were charged $60 a shot! The local grocery store sells a whole bottle of this tequila for $75, making it just $3 a shot without the sad little view of across the street! What a shake down! Avoid this place at all costs and eat at the bar/restaurant on the first floor. read more

LOVE this rooftop bar! I came here a few Friday's ago for my birthday and it was just beautiful outside on the rooftop. Such a classy place and one of the few in ABQ to actually have a rooftop with a fire pit. I have been here several times before on weekends and have always enjoyed myself. They sometimes have a DJ that plays on weekends, but not sure if they'll be doing that anymore due to the fact that they were receiving several noise complaints from visitors staying at the hotel. Either way, they do play music outside (DJ or speakers). If you go early enough ( I think until 7:00pm), they have a great little happy hour with appetizers and drinks. I highly suggest the Truffle Fries.. to die for! The service was OK, but seemed a little understaffed when we first got there. Considering it really wasn't that busy, there were still only 2 servers and one of them was the bartender as well. As the night went on it got better. One thing to note is that there was a service change of 10% added to our bills at the end of the night. I'm assuming this was because we were a large party, but they still should have said something before hand, as I don't think any of my guest were aware of this until after they paid. Also, if you get there after 7, it starts getting busier downtown, so you may have to pay for parking, valet or a meter. If you go early enough, you can usually get FREE parking on the street and just walk over. I highly suggest coming here for an event or even a quite night out. The bar wasn't too busy and if the weather is good, it's just the perfect place to hang with friends and have a cocktail. read more

My boyfriend and I recently enjoyed a wonderful weekend stay at Hotel Andaluz and were very pleased with its wonderful rooftop bar Ibiza. For starters, it has an amazing view of the Sandia mountains. We were fortunate enough to have patio-sitting weather and were able to sit outside. The patio is spacious with various types of seating to accommodate small and large groups (the same goes for inside the bar). We went for their Happy Hour which is seven days a week from 4-7. Its fantastic! Five dollar well and speciality drinks and appetizers. We enjoyed the truffle fries immensely, but I do not recommend the bruschetta (no cheese and not a lot of flavor). Our server, Danielle, was great and very attentive. I've been here at night when their outside fire place is on and the whole bar has a great, classy ambiance. All around a fantastic, beautiful bar. Best time to go is in the warm weather so you can enjoy the patio! I have to amend this past review by taking down by star count (it was at five). I recently spent an evening on their wonderful balcony for a friends birthday. We had a great time...until our bills came. Not only had they included a 20 % gratuity-fine-but there was a service charge! If your going to check this place out on the weekend, get your drinks from the bar. Otherwise, its a nice place away from the college heavy, down town scene. read more

I like their happy hour. I recommend getting the egg rolls and wings from their menu. Live music on Fridays.

Came here after dinner! Atmosphere is perfect! Drinks are phenomenal! The bartender made ALL drinks from scratch! He was very attentive and knowledgeable! I accidentally knocked my drink over. He came out immediately cleaned it up and replaced my drink for free! If you want a cool bar, great drinks and outstanding service, then this is your place! We will definitely come back read more

They give out blankets on request when it's cold out. Second story rooftop bar, not much for a view but it's still a great spot to grab a drink and relax. read more

Our second rooftop lounge experience in one night. Although a rooftop lounge, it's only on the second floor so it doesn't have a view of the sunset because its own building blocks the sun. The surrounding downtown buildings are also not very interesting to look at. But after five days in New Mexico, this was the first place that gave me any sense of a chef that has a command of food. I only ordered the Mezze platter, but it had many components that were finely executed with careful consistencies and textures. The flavors of the hummus, baba ganoush, cous cous, olive tapenade, harissa yogurt, and mild whole garlic were consistently balanced and purposefully deliberate. The pita chips were a bit too much like tortilla chips. Too bad this was our last night in New Mexico because I'd like to try the food at Lucia, the main restaurant at the Hotel Andaluz. I had a "Mediterranean Manhattan" which was lighter (in body and color) than a normal Manhattan. Without the weight, the cocktail became bright and crisp. read more

They definitely take their time when you order their drinks. But, once they come out, I would say the drinks are well crafted and eclectic. They have the best drink options if you are feeling cocktails in all of Albuquerque. Service can be shotty but, it is definitely worth checking out. They even have a happy hour. Usually the young professional crowd but, don't be surprised to see some of the older folks around. read more

This is one of the best craft cocktail bars in Abq. The bartenders are always willing to make an adventurous drink to showcase their superb skills, as well as truly nail the classics! Thank you Ibiza for a consistently outstanding experience! read more

The waitstaff are lazy, inattentive, and entitled. The drinks are too sugary. The food is fine. Its sad because the place has so much potential and yet is held back by the staff. read more

Only had one drink here but it was phenomenal: Rhum Rangoon, delicious and dangerous. The place is gorgeous, the bartender and cocktail waitress were great. We came 30 mins before closing and didn't feel rushed at all. read more

Came to this bar with four friends, looking to have a great margarita in Albuquerque. It was a Saturday night, but the place was not at all busy and we expected to get drinks right away. 15 minutes later, not one of us had been approached by a server. Finally, one of the three bartenders looked our way to ask if we'd been helped. Nope, we hadn't, and in fact, no one had even tossed us a drink menu. We got one of those, but then another 15 minutes passed with no server contact. Not ones for wasting time at a place that couldn't care less about having us, we left this place for Nob Hill and never looked back. read more

We spent the night here for NYE. The hotel is beautiful, our room was spacious, comfy bed and nice linens. The shower was a little on the cold side, but that's probably just me, if my skin isn't burning- it's cold. We opted to stay upstairs at the Ibiza bar instead of braving the studio 54 crowd for the night. We were not disappointed! We were greeted by Bridgette, our bartender/mixologist for the night. She is the best bartender in Albuquerque, gracious, friendly, knowledgeable and pours a stiff drink. God bless her! We will be back for another staycation soon! read more

Great place for happy hour. It's hard to find, go up to the second floor of Hotel Andaluz and hang a left, it's right at the corner. Lovely specials and snacks, go for the almonds and the sliders, and get a glass of the house white. Then sidle out to the large square patio and enjoy feeling like you're in a little oasis in the center of downtown Albuquerque, with lots of comfy chairs and tables. The service is excellent, and the wine and hard liquor selections make this Ibiza an inviting choice, especially since it can easily accommodate larger groups. read more

If you want a watered down drink in a warm glass, pull up a seat! The once classy spot has hit rock bottom with bad drinks & SASSY service! Don't bother! read more

Great rooftop bar. However $36 for 2 Jack & water's?!?! Not doubles or talls! An entire bottle of Jack Daniels is only $19! Really nice atmosphere but severely over priced. read more

The cucumber jalapeño was fabulous. So spicy and delicious. This rooftop bar has amazing decor including a waterfall fire feature. I was passing through, if I lived here I would stop by every day! read more

Ibiza is amazing. I had my birthday get together here and the set up is really nice and comfortable. The only complaint I have is that our server was not very attentive. read more

This is our first stop at the rooftop lounge. Our waitress, Tuesday, was extremely attentive and helpful. Happy hour wings and drinks were great. Would highly recommend this place. read more

New Menu, so not much of the food recommendations prior to now apply. We had the stuffed green chiles, they used to be fried but are now roasted. Really good. Patio area gets early shade, was very comfortable. It was quiet as we were there on a Wednesday, but service was attentive but not over-bearing. read more

Rooftop lounge attached to Hotel Anuluz. Lovely wine selection and upscale, modern vibe. MUST DO in ABQ.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome meal! My wife and I were staying at the Hotel Andaluz and decided to try out the restaurant in house. Needless to say, we were impressed! We had the grilled artichoke, beet and goat cheese salad, sea bass, and ribeye with scallops. Truly amazing! The waiter had a very unique name I can't think of but was truly delightful:) read more

This restaurant would be much better if it simply advertised what it provides. Being that it serves Spanish cuisine, one might be surprised that the "tapas" here are not actually tapas at all. Additionally, there are in fact, other dishes, not actually belonging to Spain, which are advertised as shareable dishes like starters, also known in Spain as tapas. I didn't find the food to be bad and the cocktails were good, however, if you order something at a restaurant for a relatively high price and get something completely different with no forewarning, you will likely be, at the very least, a little disgruntled. read more

Came to Ibiza tonight hoping for a relaxing evening, but it was far from that. Our server was very rude (maybe homophobic) slow and forgot many things during our visit we had to remind her of. We also smelled a strong marijuana smell every time she came to our table. Very bad service. read more
