    A hidden gem! I stopped into Tiki Tiki Lounge for a quick drink after lunch and instantly felt like…read moreI'd been transported to a seaside getaway. The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and full of tropical vibes--perfect for unwinding. The drink menu is impressive, with a wide selection of creative cocktails, and the bartender was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. Every detail--from the decor to the drinks--made the experience unforgettable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a little island escape right in the city!

Had the jungle bird, which was properly bitter if you're into that. The marikoriko was sweet and fruity, way easy to drink. The Saturn was also wonderfully fruity and easy to drink. I didn't bother with the mai tai because they use kraken instead of an actual funky Caribbean rum, which is wild because they carry Meyers. Probably my biggest critique is to funkify that Mai Tai yo! Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot! Would return again.

    Volaré Rooftop Bar is located in Uptown Albuquerque inside the…read more Element by Westin Hotels. I went up for a nightcap on November 25, 2025. I sat a brief while at the bar before being greeted and later served a "Sandia Sunset" (watermelon, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine) made with vodka (around $12). The views were nice of both the city lights and the silhouettes of the Sandia Mountains. The bar was chic. By all accounts, this place seems to be not a chain and not a franchise either, Brian G. (per your review from 12.14.2025), but an independently-founded and owned bar. When I explored the patio, it was quite windy that night, but I thought I could handle a few swigs next to the smokeless fire pits. Several seating arrangements I went to each had dirty dishes. I didn't like the crowd vibe inside so I just took my drink to my room. I'd definitely visit again, but hopefully next time hand-in-hand with a particular tall dark handsome man.

    Gathered with 7 pals for appetizers and beverages on 4/14…read more We have been here before and have enjoyed the service. This time was no different in terms of our server's attention, personality, efficiency, and overall demeanor. V ~ was great and thank you! I am personally giving 3 stars for this bar/restaurant for 2 reasons: 1) the online menu is not updated with prices - I will delve into this more in a minute, and 2) kitchen service was slower than expected. Here is a link to their menu online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/148CplSivVBTXmrWlSO46WytoWdpd0REA/view I got the hard seltzer which was supposed to be $7 but I ended up paying $10 for a can of seltzer. Got 2 and the total without tip with tax was over $21. Seriously! that is friggin outrageous. I would have gotten wine if I wanted to spend that much. TRULY HARD SELTZER | 7 Hard Seltzer | 5.0% ABV Secondly, 7 out of 8 of us ordered food and 1 person had to ask for her crostini 3 or 4 times. Our lovely server did take it off of her check but nontheless, we were all done eating by the time she got her food and she was so gracious about it. Another thing: why can't I make a reservation in advance for a group of more than 4 when the place was clearly not busy at 4 pm on a Tuesday? We make 3 separate reservations for 4 people. This is a social group, and we meetup via MEETUP weekly. People will RSVP and then cancel. We had 12 coming and then 8 showed up. I am not certain we will resturn.

    Service was friendly once seated. Had a weird experience at hostess stand, where we weren't sure…read moreif they had tables or a wait. Hostess walked off and never came back. Finally someone sat us. Service was great despite being packed! The drinks are insane--gigantic fish bowls, whole blenders, and mixing bowls with straws! Have to imagine they only allow 1 to avoid over serving. Food was fantastic. Birria tacos, fajitas. Generous portions and full of flavor. A little on the pricy side but absolutely worth it. Can't wait to eat here again.

    This felt like I was in a club, so at times it was a bit overstimulating but the music they played…read morewas a vibe. This is the type of spot you come to celebrate and definitely not for just a casual dinner. (We were there for a birthday) I'm always looking for delicious mezcal drinks and wow was their hibiscus sour refreshing. I'd heard so much about the pastor with piña assembled for you to prep yourself but sadly it was sold out by the time we ordered. Instead, we ordered the tacos norteños (asada with chorizo) nothing out of the ordinary but the flavor was good. I wasn't happy with the type of flour tortillas they had so would order corn next go around. My only downside is this place tries to upsell you to get all the things like a large $20 Margarita is wild. Would get the pitcher next time because it's cheaper that way if you come with someone. I'm always looking for great cocktails and tacos but not sure if this spot is for me. May consider giving it another go but we'll see.

    Seated right away. Wonderful waitress; attentive, friendly and quick…read more Restaurant was very busy. The crowd was a bit loud but cheerful. The tables have a USB outlet for charging your phone. We'd been driving all day without a charging cable, so grateful for that perk. You do have to have your own cable though. Appetizer: The Parmesan fries were delicious. The little biscuits were good, even though one had an extra crispy hard bottom. The honey butter is amazing. They need to market that on its own. Entrees: The butter noodles weren't as buttery as expected, and spicier than preferred. Requested no capers, but there were still some in it. The Caesar salad with crispy chicken was delicious. Dessert: The berry cheesecake is remarkable! It tastes like CHEESEcake but not cheesy. I'm all about the texture of food, and this was creamy but I could feel the cheese. I don't know how else to describe it. Personally, I'd add a little chocolate also. Overall: Highly recommend this restaurant for casual dining, office lunch, or small friends reunion get together. It looked like it has a large party room separate from general dining. They serve neat looking cocktails, but we didn't have any.

Opted for the chicken tender platter w/ a side of fries for one meal (added a side of the Mac & Cheese w/ bacon too) and the Green Chile Chicken Alfredo for the other meal. Both were really good - no regrets. Before the meal came out we loved the complementary mini green chile biscuits with butter and the Mediterranean hummus appetizer. Looking forward to future visits to try the kabobs, sliders and other options that I've heard are great.
