The drinks were all very well made and the selection of hard liquor was excellent. The bartender was super nice and very good about selection and attended to us as well as she could given she was the only one. The drinks were excellent at her suggestions and and would love to come back to try the rest and the collection.

Prices on the menu at Volare are a bit higher than they should be, though that's to be expected at…read morea hotel bar. Expect to pay maybe $10-$15 more than you would at a different location. Despite the higher prices, I'd rate this near the top in terms of hotel amenities, mainly due to good service and a fantastic, elevated, almost 360° view of Albuquerque. If you want to socialize a bit at the end of your day, you'll find 10-20 people enjoying dinner and drinks even on a random weekday. The music is tasteful, there's good ambience, but it's quiet enough to have a conversation without yelling if you'd like to. I ordered the peach mule and pepperoni flatbread (with green Chile added, of course). The mule was great, I had to order a second. It was just peachy enough to give character without being overwhelming. The flatbread was decent, though being served on a small charcuterie board let it cool off a bit faster than I'd have liked - this my reason for 4 stars rather than 5. All in all, if you want a fantastic view and a nice place to relax at the end of the day, try Volare. The views alone make it worthwhile.

This time was no different in terms of our server's attention, personality, efficiency, and overall demeanor. V ~ was great and thank you! I am personally giving 3 stars for this bar/restaurant for 2 reasons: 1) the online menu is not updated with prices - I will delve into this more in a minute, and 2) kitchen service was slower than expected. Here is a link to their menu online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/148CplSivVBTXmrWlSO46WytoWdpd0REA/view I got the hard seltzer which was supposed to be $7 but I ended up paying $10 for a can of seltzer. Got 2 and the total without tip with tax was over $21. Seriously! that is friggin outrageous. I would have gotten wine if I wanted to spend that much. TRULY HARD SELTZER | 7 Hard Seltzer | 5.0% ABV Secondly, 7 out of 8 of us ordered food and 1 person had to ask for her crostini 3 or 4 times. Our lovely server did take it off of her check but nontheless, we were all done eating by the time she got her food and she was so gracious about it. Another thing: why can't I make a reservation in advance for a group of more than 4 when the place was clearly not busy at 4 pm on a Tuesday? We make 3 separate reservations for 4 people. This is a social group, and we meetup via MEETUP weekly. People will RSVP and then cancel. We had 12 coming and then 8 showed up. I am not certain we will resturn.

Price for drinks were good and I really like that they have a water station for free water all night. Didn't try the food but, it seemed pretty good. Last time I was here was back in 2019, they didn't have the other half of the bar then, so it got pretty crowded, and now with the other half of the bar and food section it's still crowded. It gets crowded after 10:00pm. Plus the PBR was in town which made it more crowded. Not sure what the crowd limit is for them but, I'm sure they were either close or exceeded it. I left at about 11:30 because it was too much. Band last night was ok, the music was louder than the singer so he was hard to hear. Floor for dancing was fine, as long as it wasn't too crowded. Had some good dancers to ask me to dance with which made the night really nice & fun. There were a good amount of security "bouncer's" there and for being a female I felt pretty safe. Didn't see any issues with any out of control people and if there was they did a good job handling it. There is only 2 places for the bathrooms. Near the front entrance to the East and in the food area in the far corner. The line was a little long but ok. I did notice for that one, they have female bouncers keeping the line moving as there is only 3 stalls with sinks in them. No sharing stalls ladies. As being one of the only country bars in Albuquerque, I'll go back for some more good times and dancing.

We had just walked in. Out of everyone in our group, there were definitely others who were actually intoxicated. If they felt that way why didn't they deny her entry? She was our DD. Better security is definitely needed. On the way out, I mentioned to security they need breathalyzers if they're going to kick out people for being "too drunk" when they're full sober. Security told me I was disrespecting them and I could be blacklisted. All in all, this place is extremely homophobic and had no attention to detail. There were plenty of people around us that were screaming and looked obviously more drunk than anyone who didn't get singled out. The bartender targeted her immediately. BS.

They explained to me that they are having a problem with a leak in the plumbing from next-door. The floor wasn't wet. Obviously someone had spelled A sticky drink on the floor, and my flip-flop stuck to it as I walked in the door. Someone had taken time out of their busy day to put a wet floor sign in the restroom. Both gentlemen were standing at the front of the establishment doing absolutely nothing and someone could've run a mop over the floor, but nobody bothered. Just so gross.

The lady at the bar made a drink for me with rum, because the item I originally wanted from the menu was out. Don't know the name, but it was delicious. It was nice to sit wherever we wanted, have nice cocktails, and listen to music while enjoying watching things happening around us.

Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot!
