For drinks they have everything from house taps and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, including mocktails. They also make their own house infusions like beet vodka, coffee liqueur, and cucumber gin, which I thought was interesting. The service was friendly although it was busy so I wouldn't say they were fully attentive. Differential Brewing does seem like a chill spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends. My only issue was that the bathrooms were not clearly labeled and the heavy metal playlist was not my cup of tea. Still, if you are into unique drinks and a casual local scene, this is a good spot for that.

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.

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.

Our server, Celina, was super attentive, friendly, and made us feel taken care of the entire time. The music was on point--Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers gave us the perfect mellow backdrop so we could talk easily without yelling over noise. The whole place has such a warm, inviting vibe. Food and beer were excellent. We shared the nacho fries, and a few of us ordered the fish and chips and BLT. Beers were the highlight for me--especially the Soul Snatcher and Pinche Wheat. We enjoyed everything and are already calling this our new favorite hangout!

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

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.

I remember the old Malone's, but the aesthetics inside are very modern and perfect for two stepping and sipping on good bourbon. I'm so excited that there is now country music in the heart of downtown ABQ. The drinks we tried this evening Miss M, Miss Lisa and Old Fashion. All of them were delicious, cold and fresh. Customer service was wonderful, I asked about the whiskeys and the bartenders were very knowledgeable and friendly. As of right now I have no complaints about Bourbon and boots and look forward to coming back and seeing some bands.

Why order food when you have just gone to Sam's club and bought a bunch of frozen shit and reheated it for your night. 3 stars because Sam's Club food isn't terrible. It's just lazy. The atmosphere feels like someone was dying to own a restaurant and forgot about making it cool. The tables and chairs seem cheep and corner cutting, but the bar, VIP room, and wood on the walls look great and took time. So if your looking for a place that makes you feel like you're "supporting local" but you're a fan of Chile's or Applebee's, then this is your spot. The normy crowd would love this place so have fun! 3 stars is what it gets.

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.

Heyyyyyy Albuquerque has a slick, real Speak Easy! we had…read morejust got into to the other week. I knew after dinner we may wanna grab 1 more drink so I had checked to see if there were any new spots sine the last time we were in town. I hadn't heard of this Teddy Roe's so we grabbed a reservation for the late evening. After getting dropped off by a car we tried to find the entrance. I'm not going to give away the trick to it but it was fun. Once inside we got our spot that we held. I didn't see a drink on their menu that I liked that was rum based, so I asked the kind bartender if they could make me one. I only asked that it be alcohol forward, but that I was good if it was a more fruity drink too. They brought me a concoction that was perfect. It's a real nice place. The ornate ceiling and the beautiful bar added to the regal vibes of the place. I would definite recommend Teddy's; it's one of the best speakeasies in town.

I don't care for jazz. But it was great music and the place was packed. Everyone was enjoying it all and the vibe was a good one to be around. Arcy was behind the bar and suggested a few drinks. They were both good. Deviled eggs were good and the pickled purple onions were a good touch - though I still haven't come across deviled eggs that are better than my own The special of the day was pork chops. I'm not a pork person but I chanced it anyhow. I'll have to say, it was probably the best pork chop I've ever had. They sousvided it and it came with apple butterand it all worked beautifully. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this spot. Well done!
