Great place to get a variety of ciders and now making house margaritas in different flavors and carry the Nickles gin or vodka. Also carry guest beers. Any of the pizzas you get you'll love! Nachos just got added to the menu and you can add protein . Friendly and fast service with good music throughout the day and live bands at times.
So I love the brewery scene here in ABQ but I don't love beer, actually I refuse to drink beer. Many of the breweries around offer a cider or two, maybe a seltzer but The Craftroom is where I come when I want to have a real cider selection. They have the most fantastic flavors such as the lavender which is my personal favorite. They also have really good food including the pretzels and pizza which have a very homemade taste. They recently expanded the space so it offers much more seating that it used to. Downsides are the location isn't my favorite (just off the interstate and in an industrial area) and they are currently understaffed. When I went it was busy but it seemed like some tables were receiving table service while others were instructed to go order from the bar.
I first learned of this establishment because they host bluegrass jam sessions on Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4. Those are quite fun. It is a very nice brew pub with many excellent beers, and although the menu is limited, the entrées are nice. Today I had pizza margarita. There's a nice little touch of drizzling with balsamic vinegar that I was just an extra bit of Thang. Crust is very soft, nice touch of cherry tomatoes. Weather permitting, there is a nice spot for outdoor seating as well. Very friendly with staff. The prices are excellent.
Bartender is always on point, service is great and food is delicious! A must visit! Friendly, not packed or crowded feeling.
One of our favorite places to enjoy lunch or an early dinner with tasty cider, exceptional service, and a great atmosphere inside with great patio seating as well. Flavorful pizza and sandwiches make this a great spot to enjoy a meal, but you could just drop in for one of their extensive amazingly delicious ciders or some local craft beer on draught.
The Planter peanut mobile came to town and the Craftroom advertised on social that they'd be handing out peanuts and allowing people inside the giant nut on wheels. I don't know about you, but that was actually enough of a draw for us to pay a visit after being at Urban Air Trampoline park. We totally needed a drink We loved the selection of Sandia ciders on tap. I tried the sangria cider which was tasty and not too sweet, and the guys opted for a flight of 2 different ciders and 2 beers, and we took home a growler of their dry hop cider. Our kiddo chose a bottle of root beer for her fun drink. We were hungry and luckily they offer a lot - pizzas, salads, sandwiches and appetizers. We ordered two pizzas and the stuffed mushrooms. The appetizer arrived with only 4 Shrooms, so we each had one and they were a good bite. We really liked the Burque Turkey pizza with the green chile, and also ordered the Craft 505 minus green chile. Both pies were really tasty and cooked to perfection. We were able to eat outside on their sunny patio, and then moved inside once the sun started to go down. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, with customers visiting the nut, others were wrapping up a paint and sip wine bottle project, and a couple local vendors had set up tables to sell things. We bought some chocolate covered strawberries from one of them, Mmmm. We left happy. Overall, I think this is a cool spot but because of it's location, we often forget about it.
Biscochito cider!!!!! This place is awesome, my husband loves beer and I prefer Cider. This is the best of both worlds. The drinks are very tasty and they always have a seasonal drink or something new. Biscochito is something new and if you are looking for local it is very New Mexico. They are always quick to service us and the place itself is very cute.I wouldn't come here specifically for food but it is good. The food is typical bar food that is pretty good but it's just snack food and nice to munch while drinking. I still recommend coming here 1000%
We found ourselves at the Craftroom after some internet sleuthing told us it was actually the home of Sandia Hard Cider. So we HAD to go! It is a little strange...a beer tasting room set in amongst an area of office strip buildings. Right next door is an axe-throwing place. (which is so fun, y'all!) There is plenty of parking and even a pet-friendly patio. After walking and hiking about 9 miles...we were ready for some adult beverages and some food to accompany them. Let me start off by saying the food isn't super. But the fact that there IS food here, and it is tasty enough and fills you up....just having decent enough food at a brewery is a major plus in my eyes. So while our chicken nachos were definitely store-bought corn chips and neon nacho cheese...it tasted pretty a-ok and certainly helped with having a carb-y cushion for the alcohol we were about to ingest! On to the cider! They have beer too, but the cider is what drew us there and what we were interested in. A flight of 4 costs $8. Not too bad, and they are fairly generous samples. I was here with my family, and thank goodness my sister is ok with sharing! Instead of having to choose among the many cider options to make a small flight....we each got a flight and decided to share so we could try every single cider! This was a brilliant plan! Also that way....after trying them all, we were better informed to decided to which one we wanted in a full serving! The ciders were all pretty great! There was still a fall seasonal on tap, a pumpkin cider that tasted ok (for a pumpkin flavored thing). The Sandia (watermelon) straight up tastes like a jolly rancher. I loved the Black Cherry, the OG is nice and tart and a solid cider choice, and the pineapple...yum. I actually ended up getting a glass of the sour/cider the Sour Razzi as a full pour. It has CBD in it, and a a pretty high ABV for either of those two styles (8%). It wasn't available for a flight, so the full pour was the only option. I really enjoyed it as well! Our server was fabulous. There is a sign indicating that you order at the bar, but we were the only ones in the place for more than half of our visit, so she decided to provide table service. That was unexpected and super duper convenient for us. We had a spectacular visit, and the cider is delicious. If you like ciders, or want to try some local brews and fermented apple drinks....this is a cool place to get those things!
This has been a difficult year for many businesses but so thrilled to see the Craftroom was able to adapt and as great as ever! Really those heaters on the table are amazing and create such a cozy and comfortable feel. Also nice lighting for your pictures! Ciders are amazing as always! Loved to see the lavender has been added to the menu. And tried the Burque Turkey Pie for the first time. It has "classic craft tomato, mozzerella, turkey, green chile, cheddar, & parmesan" and trust me it is such a great combination! The Craftroom just expanded their hours and I'm looking forward to visiting again really soon!
The bartender Bree was very friendly, interesting to talk to an funny! The pizza was good and the chili hot! Very nice place to go for an afternoon! Ciders were good and refreshing!
Lots of cider options here! Plenty of local brews as well, but nothing we haven't tried yet. The pizza smelled amazing but we didn't order any on our visit.
Nice soccer/cider bar. Came here for the ciders and were impressed. Great selection of ciders and local beers. The staff were very nice and gave great recommendations. Not too busy for a Friday night but had good vibes. We will return and absolutely try their food menu which appeared to be a pizza menu. read more
Great food and selection of ciders and beers. Tried a lava lamp and burque turkey, both were delicious! Went on a Friday night and they had a band with good covers. The service was great! The two girls working were extremely friendly and helpful, checked on us often and made us feel at home. I would recommend and we will definitely come back again! read more

Stopped by here after taking care of some business paperwork nearby. Disclaimer: my wife saw the "Lava Lamp" on Tik Tok so that helped! Lol. We were not disappointed! The beer and cider was amazing and the food was great as well but to me, the service is what will make or break me as a repeat customer and I will say the service was phenomenal! Spoiler alert! If you check in on Yelp you get 20% off your check! Definitely give the craft room a try!!! read more

After seeing a post on another social media about a new cider flavor, I had to go grab one for myself. Well not only did I get the new Sangria cider, I also got the biscochito one too. Both were absolutely delicious! This place is the place to be when you need a good cider. You won't be disappointed in any flavor! read more

I really enjoyed this brewery. For me, I am gluten free and finding good cider is hard. This place had amazing cider! I recommend the black cherry and Sandia. The staff is friendly and it's a great atmosphere! All staff is wearing masks. Hand sanitizers are available on the tables. The pretzels are delicious as well (according to my Mom)! Definitely worth a try and you can even buy their craft cider in 6 packs! read more

Very mixed feelings... So we went in 4/20, they announced on IG A FREE Baked (get it haha jk) cookie with purchase of a pint or a pizza. We get there and it wasn't to packed at the time so we got a table and right away the server came to see us. However, she was being very abrasive, trying to rush us to order right away. They have a huge list of ciders! (You can sample up to 3) I landed on the strawberry cider, and it was delicious I loved it! My sister ordered a flight with 4 other different flavors and the Piña Cider read more
Loved the snacks and selection of beers and ciders. Yummy. The bartender was super sweet and knowledgeable. Everyone were smiling and it was a purely happy experience. Highly recommend! The music was awesome too. Cheers. Still loving this Brewery months later. I love that they have Groupon offers as well. Now I have 4 large pint glasses to add to my collection of pints. I am always greeted with smiles and the pizza is great! Oh also if you enjoy mushrooms they have huge stuffed mushrooms. The fruity ciders are amazing. Watermelon, Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple the list goes on and changes so every visit is a different beer/cider experience. This last trip I had the Cervesa Michelada, it was great. The buzz was even better. Also when ya check in here on YELP you could get 20% off. So check it out. read more
Nice small & chill cider/beer/wine bar. Has TV's to watch sporting events and food menu. Plenty of local ciders to choose from along with beers. Has a decent food menu too compared to other breweries that only have food trucks. read more

I walked into the refreshingly cool space and was happy to see so many green plants. The bartender was very welcoming and fun. I ordered the frozen watermelon cider and it was off the hook delicious; the mini glasses are super cute and also for sale. For lunch I had the summer salad and it hit the spot, getting me prepared to go next door to throw some axes. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Craftroom! Oh and the outdoor space is great as well. read more

If you are trying to find the best cider in Albuquerque, great news! Your search is over. The Craftroom is where you are going to find it. An impressive variety of fruity, sweet and delicious ciders is what The Craftroom has to offer to their customers. Some of their flavors include tropical fruits like mango, guava, pineapple, and kiwi but they also have more traditional cider flavors like apple and peach. My all-time favorite is the iconic watermelon cider. Pro tip: order your glass with the Tajin rim and enjoy this amazing combination of flavors! Recently (Dec-2020) I tried their Biscochito cider. That is the most New Mexican and the most Christmassy drink ever! That one comes with a cinnamon-sugar rim which makes it even better. They also have a nice selection of locally brewed beet and a pizza menu too, so even if you are not the biggest fan of ciders you will definitely find a nice drink and a quick bite to eat. The Craftroom is still opened during the pandemic since they have outdoor sitting (patio). They have heaters too which makes it more comfortable to stop by for a drink during these chilly winter nights. read more

House salad was a phenomenal portion! Really loved being able to share one with two and be very satisfied and have seconds! The cubano was shared and was perfect meat to bun ratio, simple + delicious sammie. We love this location for its variation in alcoholic beverages. Has beer selection for our IPA lover, and a great list of ciders for our gluten free club. We'll be coming back to try the summer salad! read more
