A quaint little dive bar, this place does not deserve the recent negative reviews that nearly kept…read moreme away from visiting. The bartender was attentive, poured good drinks, and refused the clearly drunk patrons who tried to enter (who likely left the bad reviews). I couldn't imagine trying to run a bar as bartender, waiter, and bouncer on a slow Monday night never mind when it gets busy. It's a swell place to get drinks with a few laughs and I'll be back.

Not sure why this is listed as a speakeasy. I definite wouldn't categorize this location as one…read more But it's a solid bar! I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. It's also listed as rooftop. Which it is... but it's on the second story. Either way, they did a great job with the space. There're options for diff seating areas to be more in the mix of things, or more secluded and private. Entrance is through the hotel, through Char, and up the stairs. Suprize and RJ were great bartenders. The clarified pina colada milk punch was delicious.

New prohibition era-style speakeasy bar at the Hotel Andaluz. Formerly Ibiza, this space has…read moretransformed inside and out, the architectural details indoor transport you back to the 1930's with marble accents, emerald green velvet and low light. The space has been flipped around so the bar is on the opposite side it used to be. The bar is larger but the space is the same size leaving the seating area a bit cramped. Service was well enough I believe it was their first day of service so they are finding their footing. I did not try a signature cocktail however, expect to spend $15-$17 which I guess is standard these days. I had a vodka soda (my go-to) and we went outside. The patio is much more open compared to the old space, and the vibe is more boho chic with funky accents and wicker chairs. They have these fun swinging chairs outside, however , I found their placement a bit odd, because they are right in front of the dual service bar top and there's only two chairs. The music was big band, and swing and the vibe was chill, it was a precursor to our next venue but still relaxing for a Sunday afternoon. Also one thing to note is that they do not serve the downstairs menu upstairs but serve "snacks". Beef jerky, nuts, that sort of thing. Go check them out and help support local. I expect to go back again soon and will update.

Still Spirits is definitely a hidden gem, somewhere I had been wanting to check out, but had yet to…read morehave the opportunity to. I was lucky enough to be invited to a private party at the venue and it was a great experience. It's a rather intimate venue, but they have a cute little patio and great menu. I really enjoyed both my drinks, one was a cocktail and the other was a mocktail. I started with the Tormenta Pina which was very coconut creamy and then I got a Nekked Raskolnikov which was a very refreshing coffee drink. Overall everything was great.

I had no idea this place was here. The sign is small the bartender mentioned when I asked about it…read more It's on Marble street near the same name brewery. It wasn't huge in there but it had a great bar setting, enough tables to sit at inside and out and a cool ceiling of a variety of doors, yes I said doors. It had a green area with beautiful plants . They had happy hour drink specials. A couple frozen drink options and a couple of draft beer options. But honestly it's more a distillery than a brewery for sure and I love that distilleries are becoming more of a thing in NM. Drinks were great, atmosphere and staff were great too! I'll definitely return and if you haven't tried it and you want a nice cocktail, give them a try. A nice kinda hidden gem.

This is a beautiful historic bar, located in the Clyde Hotel…read more I had Carrie's Burger and the Olive Oil Martini (OK, this was an experiment based on another review that I read). The burger was fantastic! Served with your choice of salad or fries. ( I picked salad - trying to be healthy ) The Martini was a bit shocking at first sip... it got better as I drank it. I thought maybe the EVOO was good for my health too . I might not order it again, but I enjoyed the adventure! Service was a bit slow, due to limited staff early on. Later, more staff arrived...just in the nick of time. I got there at 7pm, maybe that was a bit too early.

I wouldn't typically go to a hotel bar, but this one was worth it. The old vintage feel was nice…read more The open lobby area outside the bar is really neat with velvet couches, plants, lots of ornate decor. I don't think you can have a drink out there though. We went here for a low key place to paint and spend some time. They put up with us doing art at the table well and allowed 2 of us to sit at a big round corner booth to have some quiet and privacy. The place was actually surprisingly loud when we arrived with some loud groups and sound carrying, but it quieted down later. This was a weekday evening. Our server was very nice and helpful in us selecting our drinks. The drinks were fancy and good. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pumpkin spice martini off- season. I really enjoyed the drinks I had. I ordered mushroom flatbread and it was plentiful and very tasty.

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.

I didn't know what to expect from this place since I looked at the bad reviews first so I can set…read moremy expectations right. When I came this day, they had live jazz music. I don't care for jazz. But it was great music and the place was packed. Everyone was enjoying it all and the vibe was a good one to be around. Arcy was behind the bar and suggested a few drinks. They were both good. Deviled eggs were good and the pickled purple onions were a good touch - though I still haven't come across deviled eggs that are better than my own The special of the day was pork chops. I'm not a pork person but I chanced it anyhow. I'll have to say, it was probably the best pork chop I've ever had. They sousvided it and it came with apple butterand it all worked beautifully. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Well done!

Big bonus points to our server, Noah, who was amazing -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and fun.

This place is decorated like you're walking into a 60s spot. I didn't get a chance to look at the food but I went to the bar this specific time. At the time we were the only folks there at 4pm and there were already items on menu that weren't currently available for a Tuesday afternoon. I ended up ordering the Pondy Pit Stop, which is lemonade and a New Mexican lime lager. Sounds very refreshing for this time of year. Sadly I was bummed to see it was just smiths lemonade poured into my glass. I think I preferred a fresher taste. It also felt like the bartender is getting to know the menu still hence why I'll give it some time and come back in the future. All in all it's a cute spot and I wish it well.

It has such a cute 1960s vibe, from the sign to the rooms, everything is decked out in 60s decor. Super adorable! It's a very clean place, the room was so cute, very clean and felt very homey. When we checked in, it was inside their coffee shop, the staff were super nice and helpful. They give free coffee to those who stay at the motel. Next time we're in town, we will be staying here!

Went for a happy hour after work and I loved the ambiance! Dark and cozy with a speakeasy vibe…read more Once I entered it was easy to forget it was still sunny and hot outside. The menu was listed as cast of characters/script, which was lots of fun. Our group was about 20 people, which I'm sure was a challenge, but our server was great and kept us all with full glasses and no waiting. There is a small parking lot with free parking. It was full by the time I got there, but it was easy and free to park on the street nearby. They had a great selection of local beer, wine and creative cocktails. Didn't really try the food but the drinks were great. Would definitely go back!

When you go in the entrance the bar is to the left and is now kinda of a speakeasy. It's dark, nicely done, music playing and fancy cocktails being made. They don't have a huge menu but you can get some appetizers, sandwiches, etc. We had some non traditional nachos which were very good. The service was also very good. When we left the bar, I checked out the restaurant that was to the right when you walked into the front door of the Copper Lounge. It's has a very nice ambiance and it's not dark like the bar was next door. Don't have any other info on it but looked very nice. I would recommend checking these places out if you are looking for something very different from the usual places.
