    I highly recommend Bow & Arrow Brewing!! It's beautiful inside and the vibe is really cool. Great outdoor space as well and they have local food trucks they work with so you can order food. This place is well worth the stop and if I lived closer I'd be there all the time! Great beer, impeccable service and everyone is really friendly. Wish I lived closer, it was great to support an Indigenous woman owned brewery!!

    Highly recommend!!! So great to see groups of women meeting at a brewery. Fantastic vibe, friendly and cool. Staff is attentive. Tasting encouraged and healthy pours! The inside is so fun and the patio is large with lots of seating. Hopping even on a Thursday! Hazy IPAs are super yummy. We're already planning on going back for live music this weekend. Pleasing website.

    In the age of IPAs’ being the main attraction it was awesome to see a brewery with that many sour options. The ambience was great, ample room to practice social distancing if you choose or if you are vaccinated and want to be with other humans you can sit at the bar and get that experience. Highly recommend trying the savage sour and the desert water, they were two beers that were different enough from others that I actually got cans to take home. Our bartender was great, gave us good suggestions and checked up on us frequently

    This is a fantastic brewery that pushes the envelope on well-known styles and experimental‘s. They have a strong selection of IPAs, but also have multiple other beer brewing styles to satisfy the pallet of just about every connoisseur. Large indoor and outdoor seating allows you and your friends to enjoy socially-distanced gatherings. There’s a regular roster of rotating food trucks, but I have yet to try any of the food at the brewery because I’m so focused on their amazing beers.

    Bow and Arrow Brewing Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a testament to the spirit of innovation and community that thrives in the city's craft beer scene. My visit to this brewery was a delightful experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the art of craft brewing. From the moment I walked into Bow and Arrow, I was struck by the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. The brewery's modern and rustic design creates a comfortable and vibrant setting, making it an ideal place to gather with friends, both old and new. The beer selection at Bow and Arrow is a testament to their commitment to quality and creativity. The brewery offers a diverse range of craft beers, from hoppy ales to barrel-aged specialties. I was particularly impressed by their inventive approach to flavors, with unique and seasonal brews that cater to a variety of tastes. What stood out most, however, was Bow and Arrow's dedication to sourcing local and sustainable ingredients. It's evident that they prioritize not only crafting great beer but also supporting the community and the environment. The staff at Bow and Arrow is knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. They are more than happy to guide you through the beer menu, providing insights into the brewing process and the story behind each beer. The brewery often hosts events and live music, adding to the vibrant atmosphere and fostering a sense of community. It's a place where locals and visitors can come together to enjoy good beer and good company. In summary, Bow and Arrow Brewing Company is a gem in Albuquerque's craft beer scene. It's a place where artistry, sustainability, and a strong sense of community converge. If you're a craft beer enthusiast or simply someone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, I highly recommend visiting Bow and Arrow Brewing Company. It's a testament to the creativity and camaraderie that make craft brewing such a special endeavor.

    A favorite in ABQ! High quality and range of beer (recently including a sour IPA). Surprisingly sophisticated interior; somewhat limiting parking lot (although it's nice to sit out at the picnic tables). Sleek can art. Friendly, fast staff. And happy to support an Indigenous American business.

    Fantastic and innovative beers (even excited me with a stout, which hasn't happened in ten years!), very cool space, chill vibes. Indigenous women owned too - neat!

    Absolutely one of my favorite stops in Albuquerque! I must check out, drink up, and eat spot on your next to do list. Supporting Native owned businesses is my favorite hobby. Great place and great staff. Don't forget to check out their sweet swag!

    LOVE this place. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. The beer selection is superb. Check it out. I highly recommend!

    The service was okay! The beer was okay! Going to a place to relax and have a beer, little kids running around screaming and yelling! The cafeteria style seating was just not like it used to be!!

  • 1/5 Alan M. 9 months ago on Google
    Probably the worst brewery in town. Went to have a single drink that I picked up at the bar (server only had to grab glass and fill with beverage) and then I closed my tab. I put the total for the beer on the receipt, no tip due to the fact that server only had to grab glass and pour 1 single beer, but when I checked my bank account I realized that this server decided he was entitled to a tip and added it to my bill! Very DISHONEST business practice. If a customer wants to tip, then cool, but if they don't why does your establishment feel the need & desire to STEAL from customers? I will never visit this place again and will let others know how y'all choose to run your DISHONEST business. 👍

    Best hazy IPA's in Albuquerque! All around great beer. Don't waist your time going to other breweries.

  • 5/5 Steve C. 1 year ago on Google
    Top quality brews with locally sourced ingredients. Also, some fantastic food trucks.

    Great variety, including gluten-free seltzer and gluten-reduced beer. Good atmosphere for a summer hangout.

  • 1/5 Chelsea A. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying out this place, horrible service. Horrible menu and horrible staff. I understand there are rules and regulations to be followed, coming from a fellow bartender. But there's a way to do things without escalating the situation and taking a beer away from a customer, with no explaintion. All that was needed was to explain why we couldn't have an open beer container inside your building and that came from your establishment. The server kept saying its illegal to have it. Illegal in what way? She's not drinking off the premises. Explain please, don't just take it away like that. You can't expect us not to get angry about it when the employee does not explain themselves. We worked a 15 hour shift all week and just wanted a break, obviously my friend did not tolerate the employees behavior. Basically have your employees explain themselves before taking away a drink like that and walking away without providing solutions.

    I don't know if I just came in at a bad time or if i ordered the wrong drinks but I didn't really have the experience all the 5 star reviews say. All the drinks were canned and just a bit too hoppy, there wasn't anything on tap, they didn't have all the menu items and the atmosphere was pretty dead; however the drinks were decent and the service wasn't terrible so it wasn't a deal breaker. I wouldn't say stay away but there's definitely other breweries in town i prefer.

  • 5/5 Blair H. 1 year ago on Google
    The beer is great. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. My only regret is that my trip to Albuquerque is so short; I'd love more time to explore the menu. Inside is open and modern, very inviting. They only negative is parking. But once you're parked, who cares, right ?

  • 5/5 Marcus W. 2 years ago on Google
    Something I can say about B&A and almost no other brewery: I have never had anything bad here. I've tasted a few things that I don't personally like, but that's not the same. I'm not much into the whole hazy IPA thing, but I have friends who are. B&A is the best place for us to meet up, because they can get their favorite things, and I can get a great stout or porter. I'm not sure if the Magic Desert Shop coffee stout was designed with chicken and waffles in mind, but I just had it with breakfast and it was amazing.

    Masks required. Truly fantastic, flavorful and playful selection of beers both canned and draft. I like stronger flavored beers and many local beers taste watery to me but the saisons here consistently surprise and delight my taste buds. Large spacious taproom to hang out in. Female, native NM owned.
