    Amazing atmosphere! back door entrance, you pass by the kitchen which creates the vibe of being someplace you shouldn't be, to a very welcoming and classy/laid back environment. Hand crafted cocktails and excellent service drives home the experience. Loved every minute of it, highly recommend 💯

    This is a welcome addition to the Nob Hill hood. Tight drink menu with the option for hot dogs or small bites. Drinks are tasty and inventive. I had a rigid old man in my group and the bartender was able to provide a jack and coke. The service was attentive and delightful. The ambiance is chic. Music was on point. We'll def be back for drinks. I do hope the food menu can expand a bit from mostly hot dogs (despite them being very fun creations).

    Absolutely loved this new local bar! The low lighting creates a lovely, calm atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. The drinks are top-notch, and the music perfectly complements the vibe. Plus, the bartenders are super friendly and attentive. The Tea Time was my favorite, it was sweet, light, you can for sure taste the lemon and honey and it was an enjoyable drink. Pictured: tea time, fifth loko and the desert bird.

    I loved this place!! I’ll start with the food (cause that surprised me the most). I am not a hot dog fan - never have been. But I was hungry so I tried the vegetarian version with the sauerkraut and mustard on a pretzel bun. INCREDIBLE. So much texture and flavor. Wow. My husband got the bahn mi hotdog and that was delicious as well! On top of that, the drinks were next level. They make an espresso martini but it’s a much more elevated version without standard vodka. I could drink 15 of them. We tried several cocktails and all were delicious - not too strong…just perfect for diverse flavors and pretty garnishes. The ambience was great as well. Loved the decor and cozy little tables. The service was spectacular. One bartender was working and it was actually pretty busy but he was very attentive and there was really minimal waiting for how custom the drinks were. I also love this place because of the “cause” - seeing a business working so intently to add to society is really incredible. I wish more places would adopt this strategy. Please visit this place - you won’t regret it!!

    I'd like to start with the positives. The Fall drinks we had were exceptional, very tasty and well made, and the atmosphere was very unique for ABQ. Unfortunately, a few beats did feel missed. My husband ordered an old fashioned, and the waiter couldn't tell us what kind of whiskey was going in it, nor could he list what else they had to offer at the bar. Which would be fine, but he also didn't ask or go look at their offerings, just expected us to pick one he might have. It was very odd. The old fashioned was also VERY sweet, disproportionately so. I would stick to their practiced cocktails and not go off book (not that an old fashioned is that off book, lol) My other biggest gripe was no indication that the bar or kitchen was closing. We had a round of drinks, and our waiter never came back. We ended up flagging him down to order another round and some food, and he said the kitchen had already closed. I would have ordered food with the first round. He also mentioned that we had less than 5 minutes before last call to order a second round or we wouldn't be able to do that either. I'm not sure where the communication break was, but I'd been hearing raving reviews about the food and I was so disappointed I didn't have a chance to give it a go.

    Such a great place! The hotdogs, fries and charcuterie boards are delicious, the craft cocktails are incredible and the atmosphere is perfect- feels like it shouldn’t be in Albuquerque but a bigger city rather.

👍👍 Awesome super unique theater! We have never been to a theater that has a self serve food court which we found to be extremely efficient, fast, and convenient! Food was awesome by the way, and hot.
