👍👍 Visited as had seen they had food on google that wasn't just spicy food as the husband won't eat if not plain. Wanted to eat on route 66 as well. To be fair I did not realise exactly the market of the bar before we got there but we were made welcome and it was the first time either of us have had ou... People often mention time, good,

    Nice staff and owners. Great for get-togethers and events for the local alternative lifestyle community. Food is pub style and sharable.

    Visited as had seen they had food on google that wasn't just spicy food as the husband won't eat if not plain. Wanted to eat on route 66 as well. To be fair I did not realise exactly the market of the bar before we got there but we were made welcome and it was the first time either of us have had our ID's checked in a very long time :D , the barmaid was an absolute delight and sorted me out with an awesome margarita and some terrific fish tacos. We enjoyed some karaoke while we ate on the patio. Shame we were so tired from travelling or I would have stayed for more margaritas. Thanks for your hospitality!

    Lovely people per gay bar standards. However, I am not sure who designed the layout... But the bar doesn't have much bar space to sit at, the sitting areas are awkward... Music volume is all over the place. Basically the place has no style or feng shui. They should hire some gay people to decorate. I have seen some definite improvements, but it's just not a "cute" place to hang out just yet. Dark and dingy.

    Had a late lunch, so it was not very busy. It's my first time here. I ordered the Yakitori Chicken and it was very good. I'll have to return and try more off their menu. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

    I specifically asked for no (grilled) onions on the burger. 🤔 It came with it anyway 😒 I specifically requested napkins and utensils, I Did not receive any of my requests 😒. But the fries were delicious.

    Ordered dinner for a 30 min lunch break, first timer, and show up to find out kitchen is closed and there's no food served because someone walked out. Waste of time, gas and now I am limited to what I can eat because I have 15 min left. First and last try here. Lame.

  • 1/5 Gabriel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered the loco Moko and it was worse than anything I've had. The burger tastes like nothing but burnt char, and the rice wasn't even cooked all the way through. I genuinely liked the food there but that ruined it for me👎. It doesn't even look cooked!

  • 3/5 James R. 8 months ago on Google
    I found this place to be pretty fun. The dance floor has enough room to accomodate quite a few people and the outdoor patio is very nice because it overlooks Central. The only reason for 4 stars is because I've only been allowed entry once because I refuse to let them digitally scan my ID upon entry. The only time I was let inside the club was when I told the bouncer "can you please just verify my age without scanning my ID" and he let me inside. Every other time I have been denied entry.

    This place creeps me out. When they ask for ID at the door I reach out with it, then they say "can you hand it to me?". So I had to extend it out six more inches to satisfy the doorman. I guess they didn't like the way I looked so I just walked away. They just add bad vibes in my neighborhood, sad to say.

    It was my first LGBTQ friendly bar that I visited in Albuquerque, and it was very lively. I went for the "Freak Show" and the performance was very fun. It was a very cozy venue, with limited seating, but it felt very friendly! I never tried the food, but the drinks were great!

  • 5/5 Melissa C. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place. The staff are really patient and helpful.

  • 3/5 Reid 5 months ago on Google
    Great spot. Having come here many times I’ve noticed there isn’t much diversity amoungst GOGO’s, bar staff, performers, djs etc. they all seem to be a certain type of person. I realize it’s New Mexico. But should be worked on

  • 4/5 Nawdy L. 6 months ago on Google
    I was visiting from California and my friends brought me here. I was excited to see they had a Kinky BDSM sampler event happening. We all had a great time and enjoyed the experience!!

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Menu offers a variety of options and weekly specials have been my go-to lately. Definitely casual dining with good sized portions. Prices are not expensive and quality is good. My favorites have been the Lumpia, Loco Moco, Hawaiian Bowl, Peach Chimichanga and several of their daily specials. Looking forward to their extended hours for lunch! Highly recommended.
