Ate at Stadium66 and had 2-meat cheeseburger with fries. The fries seem to be shoe string size and warm. Informed my server (Jaron/ Jaren) and he corrected right away. He displayed great customer service and was friendly. Ordered a house margarita and blackberry slush (alcohol included) and they were delicious. I will go back!

The server said they were going through a shift change when our order took over 30 minutes to arrive. But, that did not explain the long waits to be seated, to get out waters, to have our orders taken and to pay the bill. The nachos were great. Loaded with tons of meat, cheese and veggies. They were just the right amount and just the right level of spice. The salad was a salad. The tuna melt tasted like straight pickle juice. We are assuming this wasn't the normal recipe and that something must have gone wrong in the kitchen because most people couldn't eat this. We sure couldn't.

The place is not fancy but is clean and has several TVs if you want to watch sports. Definitely worth trying.

Despite posted hours (kitchen open until 9:30 PM, bar until 10 PM), no employees were visible for nearly ten minutes after I arrived. I asked the other four other patrons if it was closed. They said, "No, the service just sucks." When the bartender finally emerged from the back, there was no greeting, no eye contact, and no offer of a menu--just a curt "What can I get you?" while walking away. I asked for a tequila; he said they were out. I pointed to a bottle on the shelf, and he replied, "You mean the añejo?" I said yes and asked the price. His response: "I have no clue." When I asked if he could look it up, he seemed annoyed. This was during one of the busiest weeks of the year, yet the bar was clearly staffed with the C-team. For a hotel I stay at six or more times a year, this was disappointing and unprofessional. I'll continue staying here for convenience--but I won't be eating or drinking at the bar again until management takes service seriously.

My cousins and I enjoyed some drinks here when we first checked in and we also grabbed late dinner here on the last night of our stay. There is a tradeoff for convenience so don't expect too much of the food or service here. I can see why the waitress would be flustered while it's busy but she was just as flustered when we were the only guest around so I think it's just her personality. For dinner we shared the Spinach Dip ($9) which comes with toasted flatbread and tortilla chips. I really like that it comes with two different types of carbs to dip but then the spinach dip itself was tiny and you will easily have extra flatbread and chips in ratio to the dip. For our entrees my cousins had the Braised Beef Torta ($11) and one of the Taco entrees ($11-12). It seemed "okay". I had the Breaking Bad Salad ($14) which is probably the world's most unhealthy salad. It had spring mix and romaine, smoked bacon, pulled pork, cheddar jack cheese, chopped egg, tomato, cucumber and crispy fried onions. It was slightly overdressed and heavy for a salad, but an edible option. I'm glad the hotel had a restaurant and it was convenient. My low expectations were met and I survived the evening. 4 stars since we were in Albuquerque but it would be 3 stars in any other decent food scene.

The menu was listed as cast of characters/script, which was lots of fun. Our group was about 20 people, which I'm sure was a challenge, but our server was great and kept us all with full glasses and no waiting. There is a small parking lot with free parking. It was full by the time I got there, but it was easy and free to park on the street nearby. They had a great selection of local beer, wine and creative cocktails. Didn't really try the food but the drinks were great. Would definitely go back!

When you go in the entrance the bar is to the left and is now kinda of a speakeasy. It's dark, nicely done, music playing and fancy cocktails being made. They don't have a huge menu but you can get some appetizers, sandwiches, etc. We had some non traditional nachos which were very good. The service was also very good. When we left the bar, I checked out the restaurant that was to the right when you walked into the front door of the Copper Lounge. It's has a very nice ambiance and it's not dark like the bar was next door. Don't have any other info on it but looked very nice. I would recommend checking these places out if you are looking for something very different from the usual places.

About 20 minutes later, someone in our group was able to order pasta, so it seems like they got things worked out before we left.

Best boxty outside of Dublin--no exaggeration…read more Two Fools Tavern absolutely delivers. The food is dialed in across the board, but the boxty alone is worth the trip. Crispy, rich, and comforting in that "I'm definitely ordering another pint" kind of way. The staff keeps things moving--almost impressively so. The second you finish, they're right there, eager to clear your plate and keep the table clean. It's efficient without feeling rushed, and the whole place runs like it knows exactly what it's doing. Great food, great energy, and a spot that actually lives up to the hype.
