I tried the only cider they had on the menu, and it was really good--light, refreshing, and perfect for sitting outside on their patio. My friend ordered one of their lighter beers and really enjoyed it too. The patio itself was such a nice spot to relax, with a laid-back atmosphere that made it easy to stay awhile. Service was great, everything felt welcoming, and you can tell they put a lot of care into creating a good experience. Definitely a great downtown Albuquerque brewery to check out if you're looking for a chill place to grab a drink and hang out.

The downside of this brewery is that they don't always have a dark or darker beer. They produce those in small batches so if you have someone who prefers darker beer, there might not be one available so be aware. Also, you have to go order your drinks at the bar so if you want to be waited on, this isn't the place. They do do have a food truck if you want to order food.

From the moment we arrived, the service and ambiance were warm, welcoming, and where we wanted to be! Large and open, Bow and Arrow is spacious for folks to come for pint, small groups, as well as large groups and company events. We sat at the bar for more face-to-face service and had a great experience. We each got a flight and loved the ability to try four different beverages each since the menu is so extensive, creative, and delicious! I got the "Dos Arrows," "Wildly No. 1," "Bury My Heart," and "Lav Letters to the SW." I listed them in order of my favorites. Each beverage was complex, unique, and delicious! I would have enjoyed a full pint of each drink! Alas, 4 5oz beverages was enough! Prices are reasonable for such high quality beverages! We also loved that the brewery recognizes Indigenous land rights and supports Native American initiatives. Euro-Americans have much to learn from Native peoples, the original stewards of this land. But first, relationships, listening, and reparations are needed! We loved Bow and Arrow Brewing. We look forward to visiting again next time we are in town!

Marble Brewing in downtown Albuquerque absolutely nailed St. Patrick's Day this year…read more We stopped by on St Patrick's Day and it was such a fun, festive atmosphere. Of course we had to get the green beer! Sitting outside, enjoying the sunshine with a cold drink in hand, it felt like the perfect way to celebrate. But the real highlight? The Highland cows I mean... how often do you get to sip a beer AND pet adorable, fluffy cows wearing little festive hats?! It was such a unique touch that made the whole event stand out from your typical bar scene. Marble always delivers on a great beer selection, but events like this take it to another level. If you're looking for a brewery that goes all out for holidays and creates a fun, memorable experience--this is the spot. Already looking forward to next year!

I had a candy apple cauldron cocktail thing and it was delicious! Also we happened upon one afternoon while the Kentucky derby was being broadcast and all the staff were dressed up and so were the patrons. It was really random but fun nonetheless Tractor used to be a staple when choosing somewhere to hang out but with the recent openings of other venues, it's more like a precursor to your actual venue of choice and not the main venue of choice.

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!!
