    Beer selections
    Aram K.

    The long lines are worth the wait. The kolsch was a light beer that was smooth and easy to drink. The beertender was very knowledgeable and helped me make the perfect selection. The ambiance is just mainly the food court but the bar is your typical bar, the service and quality of the beer is what made it all worth while. I would definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone.

    Mind the Tap Taproom located inside the hipstery Sawmill Market, which is the lone respite for tasty suds in this food-filled space. The name is a homage to the business, Paxton Lumber Company, that used to occupy this space for nearly fifty years before its current iteration. The Good: *±30 beers and ciders (#CiderisNotBeer) on tap of every color, type, and ABV one could possibly want. *Bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable of what they had available. *Most of what they serve is locally or regionally produced *Indoor and dog-friendly outdoor dining available The Meh: *While they don't serve food, you certainly have almost the entire world at your fingertips inside the rest of the Sawmill Market. The Ugly: *Prices are 60% higher for a beer ($8 vs ±$5) than most restaurants in the area TLDR: Great place to grab a brew to go along with your tasty bites, but be prepared to pay a little extra for the experience.

    Good variety! Good location. You can order and walk around with your drink. The server was super nice and helpful. Good portion for the price - paid $16 for 2.

    Two almost empty glasses and the Hawt pizza is history!

    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!

It was a warm day, without any wind, to enjoy sitting out on the patio. It was a quiet Thursday. I spotted a woman here wearing a Marble Brewing tee shirt in a pale peach color. I went inside and bought one too, to add to my summer wardrobe! A Railrunner train passed by on its way to Santa Fe, clanging as it pulled out of the Albuquerque station, and it added to my enjoyment.

Yes it's a little pricey but considering the view it's worth it ... seriously Albuquerque what's wrong ?!?! All the servers were wonderful The food (duck) took a bit but was absolutely delicious The patio is amazing I'm a bit of a foodie and in the industry The restaurant is clean , lively and beautiful I would be proud to have this establishment in my city I was about to skip this based on old reviews and glad I did not ..... Mike drop.....

    When we discovered Level 5 was a short walk from our hotel, the universe was clearly on our side…read more So we did what any reasonable people do on a warm, clear February night in Albuquerque, we dressed up and walked ourselves straight into a perfect evening. First: that view. Five floors up, city lights stretching out, not a cloud in the sky. The cocktails set the tone immediately. I ordered the Macaw -- unusual but very delicious in the most delighted way possible. My husband's specialty cocktail held its own right alongside it. I made it my mission to eat as locally as possible and Level 5 delivered completely. The Mole Poblano was extraordinary. My husband's duck dinner had him going moaning and groaning in pleasure. Our waitress was warm and wonderful, and finding out she had Pacific Northwest roots made us feel right at home from about 1,500 miles away. Level 5, you made our Valentine's Day genuinely unforgettable. Albuquerque, we'll absolutely be back.

She introduced me to the blood orange cider, which the only and favorite cider I can drink. I don't drink beer and rarely drink ciders (when forced) but this one I wish they would sell in Texas, but they don't. We bought some cans that I was able to bring back in my luggage for a few extra days of enjoying it while here. Every time I go to ABQ now, I must stop at Tractor Brewing for this blood orange cider on draft, which I wish they could get the same experience in a can...it's close!

All the times I've gone, it's really dead so we don't stay long. Some highlights are that I actually took a mixology class here back in June which was pretty awesome and also for Halloween, they had a fun selection of seasonal offerings! I had a candy apple cauldron cocktail thing and it was delicious! Also we happened upon one afternoon while the Kentucky derby was being broadcast and all the staff were dressed up and so were the patrons. It was really random but fun nonetheless Tractor used to be a staple when choosing somewhere to hang out but with the recent openings of other venues, it's more like a precursor to your actual venue of choice and not the main venue of choice.
