Wine & Beer Menu

Very cool vibe with great live jazz on a Saturday night. The place was packed and still staff did an excellent job of serving us. We had the guacamole and the fried chicken sandwich and both were great.

This place was so cute! A few coworkers and I went out for a light meal and drinks and this was the perfect spot. The ambiance is great. The decor is very much in tune with the local dynamics and there was even a man playing the guitar to set the scene. I saw that for big groups, there is a room with a fireplace that was on and it was perfect on a crisp autumn night. The server provided great drink recommendations and the food came out very quickly. We all ordered the tacos and they were tasty!

Fantastic service from the friendly bartender provided us with mashed-at-table guac that was out of this world, and a gourmet Caesar salad with cute little anchovies decorating the top. Our beautiful stone table was refreshing clean. The Dragon Room social hour from 4-6 pm provides drink and food specials daily. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! The jazz trio were very good!

Sometimes you just want to relax with a great cocktail and a burger. This bar delivers. Sat at the bar, enjoyed learning about the special cocktails and the bartender recommendations were spot on. A must stop. It's a Solid bar.

Come inside!!!!

Our friends recommended Dragon Room bar. The bar tender made us great drinks. Live music by a trio entertained us. Fun people and lots to look at inside.

Online consensus for The Pink Adobe is middling at best, and no one we encountered had any personal reviews ‒ "They changed owners, and they say it's not the same," was the one thing we did here consistently ‒ so we eliminated that longtime Santa Fe institution from our plans. But not wanting to miss out on its ambiance, we decided to visit its adjacent bar, The Dragon Room. That was a smart call. The Dragon Room is a small room, dimly lit, loaded with exotic art and artifacts, many of them dragon themed. Two large turquoise glass chandeliers hang from the ceiling, contrasting the beige and maroon tones that dominate the room. There is a selection of small plates, and they also serve the full Pink Adobe menu. The drinks are excellent: For tourists on the Santa Fe Margarita Trail, there is a special margarita called The Black Dragon made with Chambord, the French black raspberry liqueur. Friends had the margarita made with green chile (when in Santa Fe...), while I tried the Dragon's Paper, made with rye, Aperol, Nonino, and lavender ‒ excellent. Guacamole is made at the table, and their salsa had a unique flavor I couldn't figure out (epazote?) but really liked. Service was excellent, as well, up there with the best places we visited in Santa Fe. The Dragon Room was easily the most stylish and, dare I say, glamorous bar we visited in Santa Fe, and I wish we had made another visit. It's definitely at the top of my list of places to go on a return trip and a spot any visitor wanting a drink or two should hit up in The City Different.

Menu as of Sept 2021

A very cool and chill bar that opens up around 4pm. I tried a couple of their margaritas and while they were unique and refreshing I didn't find myself in love with them. With that said, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the female bartender was extremely friendly and nice.

Zucchini Fries are a must! OMG!

Really bad appetizers on the happy hour menu, drinks were just ok, but TINY. Gave an extra star for the bartender - he was fairly attentive.

What day/times are happy hour?

Used to be 4-7 but not sure if that has changed with new management?

I think they are closed for remodeling?

I think so! We drove by it on 3/24/2023 and not open. Hope it opens back up soon.

Secreto was hands down our favorite spot for drinks in Santa Fe. Tucked inside a beautiful hotel,…read morethe bar has an atmosphere that's both elegant and relaxed. The massive mirror behind the bar makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Western movie, adding to the unique charm of the space. Their signature Sage Margarita is a must-try. The bar is filled with the subtle aroma of burning sage, which creates a memorable experience before you even take your first sip. The cocktail itself was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. My personal favorite, however, was the Mezcal Paloma. Our bartender, TJ, crafted it to perfection. Watching him work was like watching a magician at his craft, every drink was made with skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion. Between the beautiful setting, creative cocktails, and exceptional service, Secreto is a place I would gladly return to on my next trip to Santa Fe.

Place signs around outdoor seating area notifying guests to place drink orders at the bar. 2. Designate at least one person to take orders at tables indoors. This should be easy to track based on who has menus and who doesn't. 3. Set up an online ordering system and place QR codes on tables for easy ordering. Give option to place orders at right or left side of bar. My aunt, mother and I were ignored multiple times by multiple staff after we asked at bar if we should order there and were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Two other tables that came in after us were served. I then had to go up to the bar to ask to pay as no one came by again even after all our drinks were empty for at least 10 minutes. Again multiple staff walked by us multiple times. Hard not to read into the reasons we were ignored specifically when several groups were being tended to.

I ask the other girl waiter, but she sounds upset and irritated. They're not that busy, the problem is where is the manager. I work in the food service and I will not act like that to my customers. Then they keep messing our food. How many times they have to come ask us, what food we wanted. But luckily the front guy, decided to give us free food. I really hope they got trained for more.

The restaurant is an absolute must if you're staying at El Dorado. It is quality food at a decent price and is incredibly convenient. But even if you're not, it's worth a visit.

Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.

Kind of a grungy, punk, divey vibe. Not exactly my thing, but where that feels unique to me this is…read morethe kind of place to remind yourself it takes all kinds.
