    Complimentary drink and some snacks between 5-6:30 on weekday nights since I'm staying at the hotel. Beautiful view.

    We decided to check this place out for a bite and some drinks. The food really is snacks, they used to have more by way of food, but many of those items are no longer on the menu. Though the drink menu they hand you still has that on it and they hand you a different food menu. The 'old' menu we were given looked like it had been drowned and chewed. Given they need to reprint them anyway, maybe it would be a good idea? The drinks were decent, the service was super super slow. The chicken quesadilla was kind of sad, seemed to be just chicken and cheese, decent portion, but kind of meh. The views are gorgeous and it's a great setting. So don't come for food, come for drinks and the view and you may do better than we did!

    Cheese board, chips and dip, bacon-wrapped dates

    My gal pals and I had a nice time here and enjoyed ourselves, but I also found myself thinking there was room for improvement. First of all, the view of the mountains is beautiful and the inside of the rooftop bar is Instagram-worthy. As for the food, I loved bacon-wrapped dates, but they if there was a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top, they would've been out-of-this-world delicious! The chips and dip were fine, but nothing to write home to mom about. The cheeseboard was good. I wish their menu was clearly marked to identify gluten-free items. I also absolutely loved that they had cocktails, but found it strange that the mocktail baby mule didn't have any ginger beer in it. It left something to be desired and what I was left with was a lot of lime juice with soda water. It was a miss for me. The other mocktail I tried was the das dis sunset, which was a lot better than the baby mule but it was served in a highball glass with a short straw, so after you got to a certain point, the straw was useless. It's a small detail that impacted the experience of the drink. The server was kind but when she brought our food, she didn't bring any little plates. When we we asked her for some, she happily came back with some but then didn't bring any silverware. We asked for that too. Both plates and silverware are helpful because it's polite to put a serving on your plate and they help prevent cross-contamination since I have to eat gluten-free free and my friends don't. I feel like we shouldn't have had to ask for small plates and silverware. They should've been provided automatically, either with the initial setup of the table or when the food arrived to the table. So all in all, not a bad experience but it could've been better.

    This is an upscale rooftop bar at the top of Element Hotel. Like the decor throughout the hotel, Volaré has an elegant, modern feel. Our server was attentive without being intrusive throughout our entire meal. Drinks were reasonably priced and well-made. I had a glass of St Clair Cabernet Sauvignon and it paired nicely with the bacon-wrapped figs. Their menu is small, but included a decent variety. Although it was too chilly for us to sit outside in December, I snapped a few pics just to capture the vibe. The views are outstanding and it would be a great place for a casual meet-up with friends or even a social event. We will absolutely return on our next visit to ABQ.

    Lavender martini.

    This is a super cute place in uptown. Once you exit the elevator you leave Albuquerque behind. You arrive to beautiful views of the city and cute fire places. The drinks were delicious. I had a botanical fizz and lavender martini. The flavors were so yummy. The charcuterie board on the other hand... for $35 dollars I wouldn't order again. There were two types of cheese. Two types of edible meat. One of the meats looked like a fruit leather I was unimpressed. When we had arrived the table before us had eaten the salami and bread off their board and that was it. After ordering the board myself I can see why. I recommend for the drinks and the ambiance. Maybe other menu items are more appetizing. It's a cute place to check out.

    Stopped by Volare after having dinner in uptown. The views of the sandias are stunning. There is also seating to watch the sunsets on the westside of the building. Our server was amazing and even showed us some magic tricks during the "down time". They had a variety of lighter food options as well as entrees. Their cocktails were delicious and super fresh. We had a pitcher of the white sangria which was made with gin and was super refreshing and tasty.

    Drinks are a bit pricey but the ambience makes up for it. Attached is a cocktail I had just before they lit up each fire pit area. This was a nice touch. There is plenty of seating and a small area with games for kids. This is not a big area but large enough to distract the little ones while you enjoy a drink. All beers on tap are from the local breweries which I appreciate. There are no TVs here as an FYI for you sports fans. But you should be coming here for the views.

    Bacon wrapped dates and Crostini
    Adric M.

    Stopped in last weekend, was out running other errands, and we were unsure if we wanted a meal or just a snack, decided to go check it out and see what the view was like. Was very comfortable, even though the wind was high so the west side deck was empty, the east side was open and the bar area had the wall folded back and clear view of the Sandias. nice un obstructed view of the Sandias and 90% of the Manzanos. we decided to eat several appetizers, Bacon wrapped stuffed dates(not as stuffed as i would have liked, but still excellent and freshly baked) Crostini with mushrooms and goat cheese. (very good), and have cocktail/beer and eventually a Cezar Flatbread. while we awaited the sunset. I liked that they didn't fuss about me only being in a tshirt, prices were reasonable. Would totally go back for a snack or on a day with a likely good sunset. The fire pits around the deck and fun seating along eith the bar with one side facing the sandias make for great options.

From the moment you find the hidden "bakery" entrance and step inside, it's like being transported into a completely different era--dim lighting, vintage décor, and that perfect moody, upscale speakeasy ambiance. The atmosphere is hands-down one of the best in Albuquerque. It's intimate, cozy, and just the right amount of lively. It's the kind of spot that's perfect for a date night, girls' night, or just wanting to feel a little fancy for the evening. Now let's talk drinks--because WOW. Every cocktail feels like a work of art. Beautiful presentation, unique flavor combinations, and clearly crafted with serious attention to detail. You can tell they don't just make drinks here--they create experiences. I also loved that they pair the whole experience with live entertainment! One thing to know: reservations are definitely recommended since it's a smaller, more exclusive space, but honestly, that just makes it feel even more special and intentional. Overall, Teddy Roe's isn't just a bar--it's an experience. If you're looking for somewhere unique, a little mysterious, and full of personality, this place absolutely delivers. Easily one of the coolest hidden gems in Albuquerque.

I knew after dinner we may wanna grab 1 more drink so I had checked to see if there were any new spots sine the last time we were in town. I hadn't heard of this Teddy Roe's so we grabbed a reservation for the late evening. After getting dropped off by a car we tried to find the entrance. I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

First off, the menus were terribly hard to read. The dim lighting, coupled with the light print on the newspaper like menus was a terrible combination. Several people in my party were pulling out their cell phones to shine the flashlight on the menu to try to read it. Next, when you're trying to capture a tiki bar type experience, that includes this expectation of fun over the top, cocktails comprised of ingredients you can't easily acquire to make it home or order anywhere else. The cocktail menu that the waiter said was "balanced" when he referred to all of their drinks, didn't really hit the spot. The flavors were pretty limited, and we're all very middle of the road. Nothing too exciting or potentially gripping. And honestly, when I come to a tiki bar I want a sugary fruit filled flavor bomb. And they had nothing like that on the menu. My husband is more of a hard cocktail drinker, and he even commented that their offerings felt stilted and not exciting. I would come back at a future date, but I would check the menu first to see if any changes had been made. Very cool location, though!

We're kind of snobby about our beer and every. single. beer is solid. I might not like reds that much but this is one that I'd actually drink. The Hefe is solid and delicious without the weird aftertaste and off flavors that 95% of them have. Just a clean, refreshing hefe. The DIPA is delicious and one of my faves. I still stand by that the IPAs here will stand up to any others we have around town and we have some good oens. We stopped in to watch football for a bit and the screens were plentiful, there was lots to do including darts, shuffleboard, and nearly every single game on at once. They've done a lot to the place and I really hope it sticks around - we need a place like this! Beers are super reasonably priced and they have a daily happy hour (including an all day happy hour on Monday!).

With that said, I am somewhat also disappointed in the non-beer options. One friend of mine is gluten sensitive. So, she can order seltzers or wine, but a glass of wine (which she prefers, is $12 or so -- pretty pricey. I don't drink alcohol and I don't consume sugar, so I can either get water (takes like hose water) or they have a quanine water in a small bottle - 10oz I think and it's about $4 I think (they don't have a menu with prices online). On the plus side, if you like sports then you will like their TVs. Never a cover charge, and you can bring in food from outside since there is no kitchen here. There is plenty of parking. Overall nice place, but the service is sometimes off - usually 1 bartender on week night. In order for me and my pals to return, they need to offer more reasonably priced wine and add more non-alcohol options. Some establishments offer Athletic brand NA which I like. Clausthaler now has a new IPA NA that is wonderful, and something like a canned sparkling water - La Croix would work too.
