    Giving this place another go.
    Jason F.

    Intels us clean and had indoor and outdoor spaces. Since it's cold outside, we sat indoors and it was nice. Not very busy for this time but the street work crowd might show up soon so we'll see. Full bar and the drinks are spot on! Old fashioned is perfect. What to eat...I'm going with the buffalo chicken salad. Trying to eat a little better with my old fashioned! Meal completed and everything was on point! All plates looked great and smelled wonderful! Staff is friendly and professional!

    We love going to o'niells! The food is great and the service is excellent! You can do indoor or outdoor dining. Their patio is beautiful and big. You can sit at the top level which is more in the sun but they do have umbrellas, you can sit at the fully covered patio, or of course you can choose to sit inside. We usually take our doggy with us and sit on the patio. They do bring out clean water and a treat for your pups! My doggy loved the treat. The food alway comes out so hot and fresh. The believer in paradise is my absolute favorite thing to order from there, though anything I've had has been great! Good food, good prices, good service! All around a great place!

    Wish I had read the most recent reviews. I haven't been here in a while but I was so disappointed in my dinner, the experience, the food, etc. I won't be back. Our bartender was nice, but the only one working the bar plus taking food orders at the bar. Obviously understaffed. We waited over 30 minutes for our appetizer that had been sitting Under a heat lamp because the fries were soggy. Our order came out wrong - wrong burger and husband's sides were wrong. I didn't want to send it back because I would have waited another 30 minutes for my meal. The food was tepid and the cheese was congealed on my burger. The manager took off a percentage, but it was still was overpriced for the quality of food and service. The bar was very dirty with glasses and plates that had not been bussed. That should have been an indicator to not eat here.

    ***************** Today was our first visit and Landon was our server. He mentioned he's been serving here for 7.5 years - which I consider a very good sign. The restaurant was shiny and spotless inside - something my wife and I both noticed and appreciated. Pride of ownership on display - and really nice to see. During our initial conversation with our server, I joked about my Irish heritage and my fortunate St Patrick's day birthday - I even showed my license to prove it :) ... unfortunately Landon shared he couldn't serve me a cocktail, because my auto drivers license had expired in March. My thoughts: Certainly don't want to "shoot the messenger" or break any liquor control laws. But it seems absurd an expired license makes it illegal for a bar to serve a 60+ years old guest a Guinness, during a 3:30pm lunch with his wife. But who knows - maybe there's an obscure New Mexico State liquor law, which I'm not aware of, stating you need a drivers license (which is current) in order to buy liquor or be served by a regulated establishment (bar, store). Oh my, what will people do, if they don't ever want to drive? Never be able to buy wine, port, bourbon or gasp tequila? My passport expires in 2027, my Global Entry Card, (allowing me to skip US Immigration) expires in 2025, my FAA Pilot License... none of these government ID's were going to be acceptable to my server apparently. Because he'd already witnessed my criminal action, with my expired drivers license. So "no" to the current passport and "no" to my beloved (anticipated) Guinness either. So Sad. First World problems ~ Earlier in the day, my wife was involved in six different orthopedic surgeries - and I was eager to enjoy a relaxing conversation with her, rather than wrestle with the restaurant for a cocktail. Meal: Our server knew the menu really well, and was kind enough to make some recommendations. Since I'm allergic to garlic powder, which is often found in seasonings like Lawry's or processed food from Sysco food trucks. Our server checked in with the kitchen about possible clean (non-powdered garlic seasonings) entrees offered. For me, Fresh Garlic or Fresh Scallions - are no problem at all. Unfortunately, nothing the kitchen prepped was surely free of Garlic Powder - and I appreciated them playing it safe. I settled on fish-n-chips while my wife enjoyed the shepherds pie. I wish this restaurant well. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the setup of indoor and outdoor seating. The Irish environment would have benefited from some Irish Rovers music today or other Celtic tunes ... as the rain / monsoon unloaded on the roof. After our meal, and frequent check-ins from our server we received our check. Our server generously and kindly provided two $2.50 coupons for a future visit. I left them on the table, and my "ever so kind" spouse later retrieved them (while admonishing me). Will I return? Nope There's a lot to like here, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience more than I did. ******************************

    Green chili cheese burger with green chili cheese fries.
    Lara F.

    The burger was really juicy and the green chili tasted like it was freshly roasted it had a Smokey taste. It was really good. The fish and chips were just ok, the fish was firm and not greasy, I would have like more of a beer batter but still not bad. The waitress was extremely efficient and friendly. The restaurant could use some upgrades I got a Furrs Cafeteria vibe, older clientele,but the prices were reasonable less than $45 for two plates and drinks.

All staff were very nice and kind. Even with a small selection of beer, their choices are solid with lager, red ale, stout, IPA, a rich Scotch ale, some ciders, and some seasonal picks. For our food, we ordered The King's Fish and Chips (half) and the Brewer's Beef. The King's Fish and Chips had a big piece of fried salmon that flavorful with a nice crunchy breading. On the other hand, the Brewer's beef was scant in roast beef and plentiful with grilled onions and a sharp horseradish. While the King's was wonderful, the Brewer's was unfortunate. Overall, this was a mixed experience with one good and one not-so-good experience at a place that is inviting and fun.

I went for the classic burger. They call their fries Spudnik and they have a very interesting cut. The potato shape is like a broad, curling wedge, but these are not curly fries. I asked for the smashed burger and it came out with a nice crispy touch. I enjoyed the blue cheese dressing. The brioche bun is very tasty. I would rate this Burger as tops.

    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!

They tasted ok but the salsa and a pink sauce (?) helped to give them more flavor. The atmosphere was ok and the Friday evening crowd was arriving. We ate inside and our server, Sophia, was very good. It didn't take long to get our dinners except my partner's salad took forever! The salads are included w the meals. My salad was different and good which was a Blackeye pea, corn, & more ingredients. My experience there was disappointing since I wanted ribs and not "soggy" fish tacos.
