    Talented, good vibe, musicians, and Dj's. The new location is much cleaner, open, friendly, and brighter with a huge patio/walkway. The view of Central and the cars cruising by on Sunday is a vibe. There is a dress code on some days, so put some clothes on like you are not going to Walmart yo! They actually have GOOD HOT GREEN CHILE on them burgers fooo!!! This ain't that Colorado/California green chile

    Went to Canvas Friday night for the first night of their 3 day event of #DiaDeLosMuertos and was nothing short of AMAZED! The drinks were very reasonably priced and were on point! The food was great and tasted even better after having a few signature cocktails! DJ had the dance floor going and had a wide variety of music playing! Definitely will be back! The Owner ,Jesus, super dope and down to Earth guy who really cares about the staff and customers it seems like! Definitely will be frequenting that place often!

    Let me start by saying this restaurant is such a breath of fresh air to the " red or green" typical dining experience in ABQ. My party dined in for the "Soulfood Sundaze Brunch" and it did not disappoint. We were approached by Logan shortly after being seated. He gave us great options and was extremely attentive. We ordered the Smoked Gouda Grit Cakes and Chicken & Waffles. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was on point. DJ Cello was was a nice surprise since we weren't expecting music...nothing like good food and great music. We will definitely return.

    The staff was truly exceptional, and our waitress did an outstanding job as our host. The food was not only fresh but also bursting with exceptional flavors. The portion sizes were just right! We indulged in a delightful array of dishes, including chicken and waffles, birria tacos, taco burger, and fish and chips. We will be back!

    Seems like a great space. No one to great forst timers and was not clear where to sit or go. It was not busy but it seemed they were short staffed so it took a long long time to get an order in and food/drinks. The food was really well done and delicious.

    This place is lovely! It is downtown and you right away think "ghetto!" But if you park inside the building garage, you just need to get onto the elevator to the third floor. You don't have to worry about any random people coming up to you while you walk there! It is definitely a really beautiful spot! The staff and the bartenders were all extremely Nice! The view of downtown Albuquerque was surprisingly very beautiful!

    Absolutely spectacular place to be on a Friday night- great service, awesome music, and out-of-this-world cocktails! Would give more stars if I could- definitely try the Pinup Girl cocktail and ask for Cassie - great place!

    Canvas artistry is an interesting, brand new location to the Albuquerque area. Located on Central in a brand new space it attempts to do a bit of everything. There is lots of open space, a nice outdoor patio, two bars, a DJ Booth and what appears to be an area for TikTok with a permanent ring light. In the evenings it transforms into a painting workspace and there is live music frequently scheduled. Food wise: The appetizers were delicious and the fry board is huge, the meal itself left me a bit wanting. The blackened chicken was as described but the meat itself was kind of bland and the mashed potatoes were similar. Other members of my party enjoyed their burgers greatly. My only other ding was that during a lunch, when we all had places to get back to, it took more than a half hour just to get our orders in. Parking is unfortunately a paid lot (though it is under the restaurant itself) that for our near 2 hours cost $4-5. All said, this is a very unique space with a unique theme. Give it a go.

    Fantastic! Everything on the menu looked great and It was hard to narrow down a meal of choice. The ambiance and location is very inviting, service is top notch, prices are great. You seriously can’t go wrong here. Lots of variety and a cool art gallery as a bonus!

    Wow!!! Literally the best spot I've been to in ABQ. The atmosphere was great. The band Dee Brown was so very awesome. The DJ was playing all amazing music. My friends and I didn't want to sit down. The best part was the staff. Every interaction was great!!! Monique, our server, was so friendly and attentive!! It's so nice to see someone enjoy what they do. Her personality and service was top notch!!!

    Update: They had a great 420 experience!! Several dispensaries and prizes, great burger and the DJ was great!! _ Free parking in the garage with validation from Canvas!! I heard about this new place on the radio and the $6 green chile cheeseburger & fries special so I decided to go grab me a $6 special "To go". I like my burgers med. well and the cook made it perfect! The chile is spicy (3 out of 5) and had no skins, the waffle fries are perfectly crisp!! I sat there and ate 1/2 my "to go" meal cuz it smelled soo good! It is delicious! The area is very open and large, great for happy hour groups or off site meetings. The staff was friendly. They have several Daily food and drink specials, and dj's!! Parking was tricky, the lot was closed so I parked on central, easy peasy. Come check this place out with your friends$$

    We had such a great experience here! The customer service was outstanding! We brought our two little ones and we were treated great, and everything was out in a timely manner, and the food was awesome! Our favorite part was the DJ…. Dj Cello we love couch. He had a variety of stuff for all different age groups, and preferences. We will definitely be going again. Highly recommend. This is five star material and the service they provided you can’t find now days

    My husband and I came here for dinner and mistakenly brought our two younger boys. Luckily it was early enough before the party really started.The bartender/server was so nice and fun. The food was absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I will be back to enjoy their wonderful food and the fun atmosphere. .

    Nice location, beautiful environment, friendly staff. It took a bit for the food considering they weren’t busy, but ABSOLUTELY worth the wait! I got the Strawberry Salad and it was amazing! The have a ton of delicious (different) menu options! Definitely going back. Prices are decent considering the portions. My salad was HUGE.

    Food is top notch. Drinks are perfect. It's a fun atmosphere. Bartenders are on point. Come see Sassy Cassie she rocks! The entrance is hard to find but we'll worth it.

    Cool atmosphere and good service, but the food was not good. We got the fish and chips and the green chile cheeseburger. The fish was very pungent and the batter was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen—it was like pancake batter. The burger was flavorless (except the green chile), like they didn’t season anything and used very low-grade beef. The fries were also stale. Drinks were too sweet and they were out of a lot of beers on tap. Not cool for a Saturday night.

    First let me say, I was recommended to go to Canvas. I am not from Albuquerque. I went to Canvas twice, the first time, all was well. The second time, the inevitable happened: I was told to never return because they had me on camera going in and out of the ladies room. I was embarrassed that they would falsely accuse me of going into the ladies room. In my opinion, I think Canvas was simply excluding me to maintain some sort of racial quota. As an African American, I wholeheartedly believe that Canvas was simply excluding me because of my race. This was my experience and I cannot speak to anyone elses.

    Great new space in One Central (3rd floor). Chakra Coffee shop, Bosque Brewing tap room and Canvas Artistry bar & kitchen. Outdoor patio, pool table, dance floor, DJ stand, tons of TVs, lots of seating.

    It was our first time eating here and we are pretty impressed, the service was excellent, food was great and we just happened to show up on an evening when they had a really good band, there was a wide variety of people, everything from young people to elderly people, we will be back
