    Giving this place another go. - The image shows the interior of a restaurant with a bar counter on the right side, where several patrons are seated. The space has wooden tables and chairs, some of which are unoccupied. The ceiling has multiple ceiling fans with lights, and the walls are decorated with brick and yellow paint. The bar area includes shelves with glasses and bottles, and a chalkboard menu is visible behind the bar. The overall setting appears casual and inviting.

    Intels us clean and had indoor and outdoor spaces. Since it's cold outside, we sat indoors and it was nice. Not very busy for this time but the street work crowd might show up soon so we'll see. Full bar and the drinks are spot on! Old fashioned is perfect. What to eat...I'm going with the buffalo chicken salad. Trying to eat a little better with my old fashioned! Meal completed and everything was on point! All plates looked great and smelled wonderful! Staff is friendly and professional!

    Burger in paradise and Philly sandwich - The image shows two plates of food on a table at a restaurant. Each plate contains a burger with cheese, French fries, and some vegetables such as pickles, onions, and tomatoes. There are also drinks, including a glass of iced soda with a straw and a glass of beer. The table surface is light-colored with a textured pattern, and there are napkins and utensils visible in the background.

    We love going to o'niells! The food is great and the service is excellent! You can do indoor or outdoor dining. Their patio is beautiful and big. You can sit at the top level which is more in the sun but they do have umbrellas, you can sit at the fully covered patio, or of course you can choose to sit inside. We usually take our doggy with us and sit on the patio. They do bring out clean water and a treat for your pups! My doggy loved the treat. The food alway comes out so hot and fresh. The believer in paradise is my absolute favorite thing to order from there, though anything I've had has been great! Good food, good prices, good service! All around a great place!

    Sad burger with cold cheese.

    Wish I had read the most recent reviews. I haven't been here in a while but I was so disappointed in my dinner, the experience, the food, etc. I won't be back. Our bartender was nice, but the only one working the bar plus taking food orders at the bar. Obviously understaffed. We waited over 30 minutes for our appetizer that had been sitting Under a heat lamp because the fries were soggy. Our order came out wrong - wrong burger and husband's sides were wrong. I didn't want to send it back because I would have waited another 30 minutes for my meal. The food was tepid and the cheese was congealed on my burger. The manager took off a percentage, but it was still was overpriced for the quality of food and service. The bar was very dirty with glasses and plates that had not been bussed. That should have been an indicator to not eat here.

    A "few fries" with the battered  fish .. - A plate features two battered fish fillets, French fries, and a small bowl of tartar sauce. A side of coleslaw with shredded cabbage and carrots is also present. The dish is served on a blue plate, with a lemon wedge visible on the side. The setting appears to be a casual restaurant with a wooden table surface.

    ***************** Today was our first visit and Landon was our server. He mentioned he's been serving here for 7.5 years - which I consider a very good sign. The restaurant was shiny and spotless inside - something my wife and I both noticed and appreciated. Pride of ownership on display - and really nice to see. During our initial conversation with our server, I joked about my Irish heritage and my fortunate St Patrick's day birthday - I even showed my license to prove it :) ... unfortunately Landon shared he couldn't serve me a cocktail, because my auto drivers license had expired in March. My thoughts: Certainly don't want to "shoot the messenger" or break any liquor control laws. But it seems absurd an expired license makes it illegal for a bar to serve a 60+ years old guest a Guinness, during a 3:30pm lunch with his wife. But who knows - maybe there's an obscure New Mexico State liquor law, which I'm not aware of, stating you need a drivers license (which is current) in order to buy liquor or be served by a regulated establishment (bar, store). Oh my, what will people do, if they don't ever want to drive? Never be able to buy wine, port, bourbon or gasp tequila? My passport expires in 2027, my Global Entry Card, (allowing me to skip US Immigration) expires in 2025, my FAA Pilot License... none of these government ID's were going to be acceptable to my server apparently. Because he'd already witnessed my criminal action, with my expired drivers license. So "no" to the current passport and "no" to my beloved (anticipated) Guinness either. So Sad. First World problems ~ Earlier in the day, my wife was involved in six different orthopedic surgeries - and I was eager to enjoy a relaxing conversation with her, rather than wrestle with the restaurant for a cocktail. Meal: Our server knew the menu really well, and was kind enough to make some recommendations. Since I'm allergic to garlic powder, which is often found in seasonings like Lawry's or processed food from Sysco food trucks. Our server checked in with the kitchen about possible clean (non-powdered garlic seasonings) entrees offered. For me, Fresh Garlic or Fresh Scallions - are no problem at all. Unfortunately, nothing the kitchen prepped was surely free of Garlic Powder - and I appreciated them playing it safe. I settled on fish-n-chips while my wife enjoyed the shepherds pie. I wish this restaurant well. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the setup of indoor and outdoor seating. The Irish environment would have benefited from some Irish Rovers music today or other Celtic tunes ... as the rain / monsoon unloaded on the roof. After our meal, and frequent check-ins from our server we received our check. Our server generously and kindly provided two $2.50 coupons for a future visit. I left them on the table, and my "ever so kind" spouse later retrieved them (while admonishing me). Will I return? Nope There's a lot to like here, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience more than I did. ******************************

    Green chili cheese burger with green chili cheese fries. - A cheeseburger features a beef patty topped with melted cheese, lettuce, and tomato, served in a bun. It is accompanied by a side of green chili cheese fries, which are covered with melted cheese and chopped green chilies. The meal is presented on a white plate, likely at a casual restaurant setting.

First, I have gone to this place off and on for several years. I find it a nice change of pace from the rest of the world. Second, it is a little funky, even for Albuquerque. The owners seem to want to be "Austin like." In a funny sort of way, I think it gets there. It reminds me of the All-Good Cafe in Dallas. Maybe if there was some live music ala All Good, it would seal the deal. Food was good. It was served hot. Everyone got their orders around the same time. Two in the group are vegetarians. The menu had options for them to choose from. I had the Klasic Kosmic Burger with cheese and bacon and a side salad. The salad was big enough to share or have as an entrée. The burger was a little overcooked but good. Lots of bacon!! Next time I will split the order with my wife. My wife had the fish and chips. She could not eat the whole meal and brought some home. The spudnik fries were terrific - hot with a crunchy outside. Two in the group had the afghan rice. They thought the dish was good. Beer and wine is served. Parking is easy and plentiful. The place has patio - I look forward to summer afternoons on the porch. Overall: good choice. Lot of good feedback from the Loungers.

Four stars instead of 5 because they were out of quite a few things - like fried pickles and a few other things. I got a side of sweet potato fries and they were so tasty - air fried I believe. Also got chicken wings. I almost never eat wings but because they were out of what I wanted I got the wings. They too were likely air fried. Really very good. Prices are pretty fair. Never quite busy - kind of off the beaten path location. Good parking.

    Marble Brewing in downtown Albuquerque absolutely nailed St. Patrick's Day this year…read more We stopped by on St Patrick's Day and it was such a fun, festive atmosphere. Of course we had to get the green beer! Sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine with a cold drink in hand, it felt like the perfect way to celebrate. But the real highlight? The Highland cows I mean... how often do you get to sip a beer AND pet adorable, fluffy cows wearing little festive hats?! It was such a unique touch that made the whole event stand out from your typical bar scene. Marble always delivers on a great beer selection, but events like this take it to another level. If you're looking for a brewery that goes all out for holidays and creates a fun, memorable experience--this is the spot. Already looking forward to next year!

    Bring back the OG marble Pilsner. I won't be going back until you do. Also on a side note. I've…read morebeen going to the place since it opened. I feel like a stranger every time I walk in. Same familiar faces , same peeps for the most part that have been working there for quite some time now. But I always get this weird vibe that they could give a fk about my dollar. They make enough to not give a sht. They bend over backwards for the whites. Tell them the upmost goodbyes and hellos. But when I come in. It's just a what would ya like. Swipe my card and hand it back to me with the most dull expressive look one could give. F this place tbh. Hope it suffers the same fate as bosque. See ya in hell. Oh wait . We are already here. (Unless you're white) I'm sure you're living your best life.

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.
