They have a decent selection of beers and cocktails but no wine; if you want wine, this is not your place. Celina did a good job of taking care of us and the service is always good. The place is not fancy but is clean and has several TVs if you want to watch sports. Definitely worth trying.

I think out of all the restaurants I've been too, this had to have been the worst service I've ever…read moreexperienced! The server never put in my drink order, 30 min later I finally have to walk up to the bar to check on it. He took 40 minutes to come back so we can order food and then he forgets half of our order. So I have to wait another 30 minutes to get my wings and my daughter's quesadilla. The services rolled his eyes at me when I called him over to get our check. I usually tell people to go try it out and now, not only will I never come back, I will never recommend this place again.

We don't come here a lot as we aren't big on food truck people but we think they have them most of the time at dinner so you can get food here.

We also tried the mac and cheese, which was creamy and comforting. The atmosphere was unique, the service was attentive, and everything we ordered was enjoyable.

It's a nice, big airy, friendly space with a large outside area bordering Central. I ordered the Penguin Tuxedo Stout which was good. And my wife had a faux mojito which was refreshing. It's passover so I didn't have a burger but they have plenty of options. I got the wings with the Red Chile Ranch sauce and the Brewers Garden Mix salad with red onions and fet which was delicious. I judge my wings by how much I gnaw on them after I eat most of the meat and these were stripped clean. Great place for a relaxed lunch!!

We came here after having dinner somewhere else. The music and the vibe was good from the outside…read moreand we wanted to check it out. They were holding a concert kind of next door (via Sister's mean door), we didn't know the band we just stayed at the bar/arcade area. Even though we were there, we were still able to hear them. They played very nice. Since we were full, we just got a couple of drinks. The prices for the drinks were affordable, yet very well made. The staff seems friendly. The lady at the bar made a drink for me with rum, because the item I originally wanted from the menu was out. Don't know the name, but it was delicious. It was nice to sit wherever we wanted, have nice cocktails, and listen to music while enjoying watching things happening around us.

Between the 4 of us, we opted to share 2 samples of seasonal and regular rotation options. Really enjoyed the lighter tasting, less hoppy beers on hot days, though we were told their IPA's are known for those who are hoppheads. The gentleman who assisted us, didn't get how name was really friendly and answered multiple rounds of questions. We'll be back again next time we're in the area.

Because it is really great and is easily confused with a few other places with similar names. A group of the boys from the VA Creative Writing Group went here (again) and (again) thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food, the prompt service, and an interior that made us want to stay even longer.

I really like the bbq here but I'd need to know that things were improving before a return visit. Portions of burnt ends were light and didn't get the side salad nor a receipt.

Great Vibes, Live Music, and Plenty of Beer…read more Had an awesome night at High and Dry Brewing in Albuquerque! The place was packed thanks to the live music, but we still managed to find a spot to sit and enjoy the scene--which was honestly impressive. It had that lively, local energy without feeling overwhelming. The bands were playing, the crowd was into it, and the beer was flowing. Solid selection of local brews with something for every taste--whether you're into hoppy IPAs or something more mellow. Everyone was friendly, and the staff kept things moving even with a full house. Street parking was available nearby (big win in Albuquerque on a busy night), so getting in and out was easy. If you're looking for a spot with good beer, chill vibes, and live music that draws a fun crowd, High and Dry delivers. Definitely coming back for another night like this.

Service is always outstanding. They all look like they're photo be there and the staff has been there for a long time. Great bar, plenty of high top tables and low and some other low comfy seats to relax and enjoy a beer or a refreshing El Tri. My personal favorite along with salad adding chicken. Just can't go wrong.

Pozole not as good as the one I get at Meso Maya back home in DFW but it's still quite good. Seems like it was missing some acid or salt, not sure. Ambiance was ok but not great. Being in a strip mall isn't a great place and inside could use some plants and dividers between tables or areas. Liked the artwork, lighting, and decor though.

The IPA was nice and juicy and the Stout was dark and thick. It's still pretty new so they will probably add more beers in the future (I saw about 6 tap handles.) Decor is a bit spare and industrial, though the brick walls and big "Echoes" sign are cool and so are the frosted glass squares on the wall behind the stage. The night I went they had both a food truck (Desert Ocean, which serves seafood tacos) and live music (Talking Hours, which was a pretty awesome local rock band.)
