The music is pumping super loud, but for the most part the genres are the same from room to room. Or maybe I can't discern my house from my EDM? Plenty of youngsters out at night at the ABQ. I recommend this place for those with a lot of energy.

I would have never found this amazing organization if it wasn't for Yelp Helps!! So glad I did!…read moreThey give NM's troubled youth a second chance at life, getting through school and learn and grow their skills and talents. They teach healthy living starting from nutrition not only in books but in a way of GROWING FOODS. I LOVE that. They get to work and learn how to grow food, eat healthy, have a place to hang out and express themselves via music, poetry, spoken words, and art. They were prepping for an upcoming show and there were some seriously talented youth there I got to work in the fields for a bit and got to see their beautiful greenhouse they call the wind tunnel. Right now they have kale greens, spinach, beets, lettuce, and carrots. On the outside the had garlic, onions, and sugar snap peas so far. How amazing that they do all this?!?! The people who work there are passionate about what they do and I saw the light in their eyes shine when they spoke of what they do. I was blown away by learning all that they do. Thank you for having us!!

Our Yelp Helps group spent some time slinging poo, raking dirt and digging a hole with 3 of the gentleman that run this great program. I had some great conversation with Brad. He had some insight about troubled youth and the community. I was thrilled to see all of these great helping hands. The folks at the institute were preparing for an upcoming community event. We listened to some music and spoken word poetry before heading out to the farm where we were given a tour of the area and handed a pitch fork/shovel. I enjoyed my time with other helpful yelpers and the folks at the institute.

This is the absolute WORST facility in town to rent for an event. We had the misfortune of hosting…read moreour wedding reception here and I wish I could go back in time and go somewhere else. The managers are thieves, negligent and and racist. Anthony Roybal met with me a couple weeks before to go over the details of renting and he hand wrote a "contract" on scratch paper and took my deposit in cash only. He informed us that the biggest rule was we could not have outside drinks in the venue for the night of the reception and I agreed to abide. During the rehearsal dinner someone had purchased a small case of bottled water for the bridal party and shortly after our rehearsal began I got a call from Anthony. Before I could even answer the phone he was screaming and cursing at me about the water. He said that he would come down the bar and personally "kick every single ass out of there" and he didn't give a "fuck" that it was the night before our wedding. He made me cry and berated me for almost 20 minutes the night before my own wedding. During the reception he was over serving alcohol, did not even know drink ingredients, and served to a minor. I do not believe he is a licensed bartender and should not be allowed to serve any event. We had an African American friend walk into the bar with my groom and as they entered Anthony proclaimed "sorry we don't serve bananas in here." My husband said he was in absolute disbelief that he would actually say something like that. He was incredibly rude to my brother who ordered and liquid marijuana and Anthony asked what was in it and when my brother said "you're the bartender, shouldn't you know?" Anthony replied "you should fucking know what you're drinking" At the end of the reception he stole $150 from my mom. Our contract stated we owed $400 for the rental fee and he charged her $450 and then proceeded to tell her that there was a $100 bar fee that he could only accept in cash. This was never mentioned or written in our contract. When asked to return the money he said he didn't have it and I'm guessing that's why he wanted cash only. When I reached out to the other managers Adam and Miguel I was met with "deal with your issues with Anthony" and then ignored. I never got my $150 back that was stolen from my mom and we were never even given an apology for the absolutely horrible service to me as the bride and to my guests and family. NEVER EVER HOST AN EVENT HERE

The menu was listed as cast of characters/script, which was lots of fun. Our group was about 20 people, which I'm sure was a challenge, but our server was great and kept us all with full glasses and no waiting. There is a small parking lot with free parking. It was full by the time I got there, but it was easy and free to park on the street nearby. They had a great selection of local beer, wine and creative cocktails. Didn't really try the food but the drinks were great. Would definitely go back!

When you go in the entrance the bar is to the left and is now kinda of a speakeasy. It's dark, nicely done, music playing and fancy cocktails being made. They don't have a huge menu but you can get some appetizers, sandwiches, etc. We had some non traditional nachos which were very good. The service was also very good. When we left the bar, I checked out the restaurant that was to the right when you walked into the front door of the Copper Lounge. It's has a very nice ambiance and it's not dark like the bar was next door. Don't have any other info on it but looked very nice. I would recommend checking these places out if you are looking for something very different from the usual places.
