    This place is the most hole in the wall bar ever!!! You need to wait a minute when you walk inside to adjust to just how dark it is inside. The beer is cheap and cold. I think this place runs on beer and cigarettes. People take shifts going outside to smoke and then come back for more beer. This place is great. It is Albuquerque's Cheers.

    As far as "dive bars" go, this one has got it down perfectly! Nothing fancy, and as far as the location: you might blink and miss it! There is live music on most Fridays, karaoke every Saturday, pool tables, dart boards, friendly staff, a really large oval shaped bar as well as some table seating, and affordable drinks! I hear there are a few food choices, though the focus is definitely on beverages, games, and music. Weekends it can get pretty packed, but the atmosphere is always friendly and jovial.

    The racism in this bar is real. Grant it the staff was nice, but they didn't remove the problem..just apologized. If you black DO NOT go to this bar!!!! Took everything in me not to flip out or I would be the problem.

    I like coming here during the afternoon because it's dark as a old style dive bar should be and there's a 50/50 chance "piano man" will be playing on the jukebox but most of all it's pretty much assured that I'll be the only patron at the bar who wasn't alive when JFK was assassinated.

    at first it was great. nice place, good people,great service ,but now apparently the pool league can just walk in a steal the table we were playing at. we were midgame and the league treated us very poorly. the bartender pretty much just told us we were SOL, this place has lost my business, I will never go back. so be warned this place will discriminate against you if you are not in the pool league. a report will be filed with the BBB

    Food got no stars only cus we didn't eat and I didn't see anyone else eatπŸ€”πŸ˜³ I really don't know if they serve food? But I do know good service for how packed it got. Also I have to say that the acoustics was awesome πŸ‘Œ I could feel the bass in my stomach and the guitar and the lead singer gave me chills there was no annoying feed back or distortion at all. Now what you hear the video is from my Samsung mind you but over all fun. There is live music some days and karaoke on others there is four pool tables and the only thing I'm gonna complain about is the bathroom situation only one boy and one girl and some times there was a line so me and my boyfriend were like screw this we are going together in which ever one opens up first. πŸ˜† lol. Smoking area outside you can vape inside. Over all I would say this is a small big crowdπŸ€”πŸ˜† well it's not huge and a lot of people know each other there. But it's a good crowd and it's the kinda place where you wanna have some fun but not a crazy night like still be in bed by 10pm type of thing. Oh and as you can tell by my outfit it's chill there is no need to dress up it's not that type of crowdπŸ«£πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰

    For a dive bar it's just what you expect. There are pool tables to shoot on, there are darts to toss, there are TVs to watch and mirrors on the wall. I wish the TVs were a little larger but they don't have the ceiling space. I think that anyone with a gold handle on the commode could afford double-ply toilet paper. It was a little hard to find which door to come in we found three lock doors before we found the correct one, They need signs on the door pointing towards the main entrance. If it's Thursday it is karaoke time. This is Christmas season they started with o holy night. There's a really good crowd here for Thursday night for all the festivities lots of people watch the football game which was on Amazon prime.

    So we walked in, the scenery is nice and were greeted by regular customers, an the band that had just played. which was nice but the bar tender made eye contact and turned away. We were at the bar for 10 min waiting for her to come greet us. She talked to other customers and looked at us a couple different times and we even walked around to the other side to were we were in more direct sight of the bartender. A group of older (50yr +) women came in and stood at the bar not even 2 min and the bartender made room for them at the bar and greeted them and took a drink order. Just completely skipped up and so we walked out. This bar definitely shows favorites to repeat customers and to the older generation even tho we are in our late 20s. Maybe she thought since we were one of the youngest couples there that we would tip as well or something. Or that maybe this bar is just for people 40 an up. But we walked out and will not be coming back.

    This was our first time ever going to this bar, it was a lot of fun. There is pool, darts, and karaoke! We did darts and karaoke and had a lot of fun. I hope that they continue doing karaoke on Saturdays.

    Place looks closed, sign out front is not lit up. Both doors at front have no indication it is an entrance. Walk in and the staff seemed friendly enough, said they would be right with us. Sat for about five minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. There was about 15-20 people total in the bar. Apparently if you're a regular you are priority. First time we've been here. Bartender would ask if we needed something, would tell her what we needed...she would walk away and take other people's orders, start a conversation, go about her duties and completely forgot about us, two different times. I had two drinks and he had three. We were sitting at the bar in plain sight. We would have stayed but the service was terrible. I would not recommend this place to anyone based on my experience.

    Great neighborhood bar, nothing fancy, worn down and hard to tell it's even a place to visit. Seems to be a good mix of people, drinks and smaller pool tables.

  • 5/5 Jeannie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Dark, awesome hole in the wall bar tucked away in the shopping center. We love coming here and I personally have celebrated my last 2 birthdays here. They have pool leagues and we are here Wednesdays for leagues. Thursdays are karaoke and on Friday nights they have live music. It's a little place with a large crowd so get here early for a seat.

  • 5/5 Amy G. 5 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 Craig E. 6 months ago on Google
    Music nights are fun. Unfortunately, the bar tenders are not consistent in their pour, so the mixed drinks are hit and miss. I don't understand why there is no fountain for drinks. Cans are not good.

  • 5/5 MerryChristmas C. 1 year ago on Google
    Santa Claus found this place on Google and took me for a date. Great wings. Great conversation. You won't be a stranger for long.

  • 5/5 Aaron H. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is great! Donna made me a repeat customer! The only downside however, they close at midnight during the week. Google has it incorrect. Pay them a visit. You won't be sorry.

  • 1/5 Brian M. 11 months ago on Google
    I have no idea what this place is. I was never there. Unfortunately, this app doesn't show a date nite time frame that coincides with my supposed attendance so I can't say where it was. I've made several suggestions to Google about this little 'issue' but, since they're 'too big' to read the comments they ask for, nothing comes of them. So this 1 star posting is more a reflection of their inaction than anything else.

    Bartender was amazing super helpful and friendly to out-of-towners also met some locals who took us to the 4th of July barbecue Stephanie a place I'll visit when I come back

  • 4/5 Diane 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love the place but can't find any calendar posted for the Friday night band schedule. Can't see driving all the way there from northwest Rio Rancho if I don't know who is playing.

  • 5/5 Adam R. 1 year ago on Google
    These are real Bartenders, a real drinking spot, with real music, and cool old school people. Pool, food, fast service, and Bartenders that mix real spirits. If yiu want a place to take you woman to dance this is your place. Chessa could be the hardest working Bartender in town. Bar / Lounge / Pool / drinks / Dance / Local Music / Dive / Food

    Cindy is an amazing bartender. She keeps an eye on everyone and is very responsive. Great atmosphere with pool tables. Drinks are good and reasonably priced.

  • 1/5 Diandra B. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be a 5πŸ’« Until coworkers & I were warming up it becoming our hang out. Then the latest bartender spread rumor that we never tipped. WE all tipped on our own tabs & made sure to keep it professional but fun. Discrimination before understanding is the response we got. Before we made up our mind about this being an absolute great possible hang out, we were pretty much rumored against. So we will not be returning. The bartender Chessa will be missed by all of us though. Thanks for the Blue Lagoon & Scooby Snacks!🍻 (at least you knew how to keep it interesting & knew drinks that the public would love). We hope you have better business than what we tried to establish. In short, find a better hang out for your friends, family, coworkers etc. that won't turn its back on youπŸ’―

    Been there a couple of times in the last month. Great place for a letting go and being yourself. Good drinks and fun place to relax.

  • 5/5 Valeria De Lira R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks and nice atmosphere with a good variety of different people. They had pool tables and Saturday night karaoke. The bar tenders are all super friendly even with how busy they were. We had an awesome time here!

  • 5/5 Andrew L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to Karaoke. They have a special type called Kamikaze Karaoke where you can make your friends sing songs that they may or may not know. Either way they gotta sing it. The employees are all nice and everyone I know who goes has a great time.
