    Stoneface Tavern is probably one of my favorite places to go for live music, great food, a pleasant environment and to shoot pool. On this recent visit I was not able to shoot pool or heat live music due to covid restrictions, however the rest of my visit was outstanding. My friends and I went for a Cowboy game (even though I'm a Bronco fan). On this occasion my waitress was Latoya. She was extremely pleasant, patient and quite frankly... A joy to be served by. She wore her mask the entire time. The food at this establishment is on the tasty sign. There's literally nothing that you can order that you will not enjoy. A favorite has been the nachos. Whether you are getting beef or chicken, or steak, be sure you have assistance and eating the mountain of food. I have had the salmon, fried zucchini, green chili cheese fries, and burgers. Any selection off of the menu may become a favorite of yours as well. The serving sizes of the food items is what brings you back. This is a great location to visit with your friends, watch the game, or if you're feeling so bold as to go solo - - - do your thing! Already got plans but need some spirits your libations - - - Stoneface has you covered with liquor available for purchase near one of the entrances. Due to the ambiance, layout, price and taste of the food I am giving this location the highest rating. If you found this review helpful or informative, please like it. Or follow me for other local reviews. Thank you in advance.

    This place has amazing food!! I ordered the Fajita Sandwich and it was so tasty. The steak was cooked perfectly, guacamole was just a shade spicy, lettuce was crisp. The fries came out on abundance all piping hot and crispy! Even the pickle was great!!! Chloe my waitress/bartender was polite and super friendly. I would recommend anyone to stop here and visit if you're local or from out of town like me.

    Rock and roll bar/pub. Service is fast and friendly. Food is good for bar food. I would give six stars for courtesy and service as we brought our 82 year old Madre with us. We knew she wouldn't be able to get up on the higher chair. Joe, an employee, jumped into action and set up a low top for us. My mom and I were so touched by his extra effort to make sure she would be comfortable. Thank you!!! My mom also felt supercool going to a rock n roll pub for lunch, she had an extra bounce in her step as we left.

    Trash service. Showed up and sat at a center table at 5:32. 5:46 First waitress asks what I want to drink - I ask for beer and menu. She says she’s shift changing so she will get me a beer and cash me out. No problem. 5:55 I get beer. No menu. 5:59 she gives me my check. I ask for menu 6:01 she takes my card and gives me menu. 6:12 she comes back with my card Never was asked for food order or anything. 6:14 I pay and leave after 40 min of waiting.

    I came here on Thursday in June and was skeptical from the other reviews but the service was great, food was good and well priced, there was a great selection of drinks which were well priced, and the security at the door were super friendly. They were also open 2 hours past what google said. I really enjoyed this place and I'm glad i didn't listen to the bad reviews.

    Service was very nice :) my friend and I both ordered the fish and chips and it was a very generous portion and tasted pretty good. My friend also ordered a coke with vanilla crown but it was a bit too strong.

    Gabby in the bar was GREAT but the patio was packed and they had a few servers call out. I took our check to Chris the manager to cash us out so we could leave and he did it no problem. Super helpful team! Great spot for good food, yummy drinks, awesome vibe and competitive volleyball!

    Stoneface Tavern has been one of my favorite places to eat, drink & dance in Albuquerque but unfortunately at this time they are not Covid safe. The Wait staff do not wear masks & I did not notice any signs encouraging the wearing of masks.

    Hair in our salad, food was cold, and the only thing they did was give a $3 discount. Beer was nice and cold and our server was great. Server was very friendly, checked on us multiple times, and did a good job. Go for the beer, if you go.

    Our first time there and we met some friends who loved the place. It wasn't busy but it took 10-15 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order and she was rude to everyone. So we cashed out (took 20minutes) and went to Cocina Azul, better drinks and the food was delicious! They lost some regular customers.

    I attempted to take my wheelchair bound mother here for a nice lunch, I do not recommend… they are NOT handicap suitable. Not a single table is of an appropriate height and the waitress said that she would look in the back for one, we waited 20 minutes as she was walking back and forth talking and laughing with coworkers

    Was a bit disappointed with the beer selection here. Pretty generic beers, especially since we live in a vibrant craft beer area. The food was ok, but not great at all. The green chile stew was not good for the area we are in. My tortilla was hard and lacked quality. The bun for the buffalo chicken sandwich was stale and unacceptable. We were rushed by they waitress to hurry and pay out before her shift ended in the middle of the day. She rushed us multiple times and made us quite uncomfortable in doing so. Even afeter being less than attentive to our needs. Don't think we will be back.

    I grab lunch regularly at Stoneface, I recommend the BGC burger, Naked Wings or Quesadilla. It’s a tacky old bar locally owned. The girls are real and not overly “fake friendly” which is refreshing. They have a great whiskey/ scotch selection all spirits prices are great. Stoneface is a locals bar who understand the vibe, if you’re looking for a modern bar or a nice place to take a date this probably isn’t the place for you but if you’re looking to have some good bar food, a great alcohol selection and you like dive bars this is the spot.

    Wet Mop! This used to be a good time. Now the herd of cows they call waitstaff stands around upset they have to work. Be better if the just gave veding machines at the door. Waist of time money. Ugly staff. Just fell.outbof bed wipe the white crude of their face go to work. Ugly.

    Born and raised in Johannesburg South Africa and currently traveling across the United States, first time here. Good foods and drinks at affordable prices and excellent customer service too...due to language barrier, I have a hard time ordering but my server Mariah was able to understand my Sesame Street English. (originally written in Afrikaans)

  • 1/5 Carla A. 4 months ago on Google
    Today we stopped by this place. It ended up not being a good idea. The worst service! We stopped by for a drink and something to eat. We were there for about 15 minutes and were never acknowledged. Staff walking around but no one cared to check on our table. I asked a waitress and she said she would come by and never did. So we just walked out and will never go back. I would rate their service a big negative. So disappointed.

  • 1/5 Atheena P. 7 months ago on Google
    When I walked in, I loved the atmosphere. There was good music and a very nice bartender (I don't know names but she had on an oversized T-shirt). She was alone until another bartender came in (wearing a plaid shirt tied around her waist). She was ok at first but my fiance and I had to go to the bathroom. We went and then wanted to go outside for a cigarette. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT GO OUTSIDE SMOKE!!! When we returned, she slammed the receipt down in my fiance's face and said we had to pay our ticket and leave! I informed her that we only went outside to smoke and she said we still had to pay and go. I have never saw this at any place that serves alcohol! I only gave 3 stars because of the doorman! They should definitely take people's cars info to prevent this misunderstanding!

    This is my buddies favorite bar in abq and we had a fun there. We went multiple times and it was always good. Food was great service was great and had plenty drinks to choose from.

  • 1/5 Shelly P. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst service! We stopped by for an early dinner and drinks. We were there for about 20 minutes and were never acknowledged. Staff walking around but no one cared to check on our table for two (we sat ourselves). They weren’t that busy. So we just walked out and will never go back. I would rate their service a big 0.

    We recently returned to Albuquerque after living in Denver for 20 years. Stoneface was the place to hang out in early 2000's. Great blues music on Fridays and Saturdays, bouncers that really watched out for the clientele, and I wondered how it had changed since I've been gone. The place is much bigger, the food and wait staff is much better (try the shredded beef quesadilla with jalapenos!!) BUT... absolutely no music happening. Very much miss the weekend dancing. Let's bring it back and start dancing again. Will definitely change rating to a five.

    Haven't been, going today 5/07/2022.. Gonna see what it's all about , don't let me down......after all of the write ups and I'm originally from a small city (Galveston) but for the most part Houston was my place of entertainment Don't let me down on my ranking you with a 5 star ,even before I set foot inside your establishment, because of all of the great things I've heard about your FINE establishment!!!!!!

  • 1/5 Nick G. 1 year ago on Google
    They will serve you until you’re drunk enough to wreck into cars in their own parking lot. Yet they will cut you off once of the servers bump into and cause you to drop a beer. That was our first drink by the way. “The wrong person saw you” is what was told to us. “Your friends are in the back” is also what I was told when I was going to the restroom. Won’t be back for the rest of my volleyball season or ever.

  • 3/5 Vickie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere is really fun. I love that there are different strings of Christmas lights hung up all over and the music is great. Drinks and food were okay…typical bar food. We each ordered a drink and two appetizers. The zucchini sticks were fine (probably from frozen but a good sized portion) but she told us the wings were not breaded. They also weren’t sauced so they were okay but lacking in flavor. Our server was friendly enough but service was subpar. After we ordered drinks my husband asked if he could also get a soda water with lime…which she forgot. Trying to be gracious when she brought our food I said, “when you being his soda water could I please have a glass of water with no ice?” She apologized and of course I said it was no big deal. And then she brought a HUGE glass of ice with some water and I had to try to pull the cubes out with a fork.
