On a trip to ABQ, I came here for a late evening drink while waiting for a friend. Lost Cultures is…read morea fairly quick walk from Old Town and has a parking lot available if you drive over. There's quite a bit of indoor seating and I saw friends meeting up for a chat as well as people studying or reading by themselves; so it's a very multifunction bar/cafe. Service was very quick and when I had questions about the difference between the two matcha teas I was debating between, the barista actually brought out both matcha tins for me to look at the color and scent. Their menu has been updated to have 3 types of matcha available and sadly I didn't photograph it as the photos here are the previous matcha offerings. Both matcha powders are a fresh vibrant green and one smells more nutty/bitter (the one I opted for) vs the other that smells more sweet. Hot Matcha Tea 4/5, this was great and I got some agave syrup on the side if I wanted sweetener. Price wise this is $$ given the size of the tea Sea Salt Chocolate Cookie 4/5, this was a lovely dark chocolate bitter cookie that paired well with the sea salt and the tea

What a cool spot! We had a chance to drop by before checking out the Downtown Albuquerque Art…read moreWalk. The space is super cool, filled with art from the owners daughter. There are tons of drinks, but I was there for the booch. I got the flight of 6 kombucha flavors for $12 and loved it. It came with a little dish of nuts which was a pleasant addition. I absolutely loved the unicorn flavor (lavender lemon) and the clear Amarillo flavor, made with Navajo tea. But let's face it, they were all good! The also sell water and some other fun drinks so we'll have to come back. Loved chatting with the women working here, they are super friendly and helpful when choosing what to order A plus that it's walking distance from the downtown growers market and the art walk!

A real hidden gem in Albuquerque!

While in Albuquerque recently, we were on the hunt for our favorite brewery. Bow and Arrow filled…read morethe 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!

Great Vibes, Live Music, and Plenty of Beer…read more Had an awesome night at High and Dry Brewing in Albuquerque! The place was packed thanks to the live music, but we still managed to find a spot to sit and enjoy the scene--which was honestly impressive. It had that lively, local energy without feeling overwhelming. The bands were playing, the crowd was into it, and the beer was flowing. Solid selection of local brews with something for every taste--whether you're into hoppy IPAs or something more mellow. Everyone was friendly, and the staff kept things moving even with a full house. Street parking was available nearby (big win in Albuquerque on a busy night), so getting in and out was easy. If you're looking for a spot with good beer, chill vibes, and live music that draws a fun crowd, High and Dry delivers. Definitely coming back for another night like this.

I tried the only cider they had on the menu, and it was really good--light, refreshing, and perfect for sitting outside on their patio.

Service was great, everything felt welcoming, and you can tell they put a lot of care into creating a good experience. Definitely a great downtown Albuquerque brewery to check out if you're looking for a chill place to grab a drink and hang out.

For drinks they have everything from house taps and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, including mocktails. They also make their own house infusions like beet vodka, coffee liqueur, and cucumber gin, which I thought was interesting. The service was friendly although it was busy so I wouldn't say they were fully attentive. Differential Brewing does seem like a chill spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends. My only issue was that the bathrooms were not clearly labeled and the heavy metal playlist was not my cup of tea. Still, if you are into unique drinks and a casual local scene, this is a good spot for that.

Lots of doors and roll-up windows allow them to combine or separate spaces. I'm not sure if it's a New Mexico thing, but this might be the first brewery we've been to that doesn't do flights. Too bad too because there were several we wanted to get. We ended up tasting four beers. The Bock was ok, and the Stout was pretty good. I had a pint each of the Blue Corn Lager and the Irish Red, while my wife had two pints of the Irish Red. Both were quite good. Had I had another, I would've ordered the Stout. The one knock on the place was the service. It was friendly enough. There just wasn't enough of it. Every time we needed something, it was around a 10-min wait in line. To order, to close out, etc. Not really because it was overly crowded. It just took a really long time for those in front of us to be helped by the one person tending bar at the time. Oh well. The beer was good and not overpriced. Even though the alcohol content wasn't too high, it hit the spot.
