Still Spirits is definitely a hidden gem, somewhere I had been wanting to check out, but had yet to have the opportunity to. I was lucky enough to be invited to a private party at the venue and it was a great experience. It's a rather intimate venue, but they have a cute little patio and great menu. I really enjoyed both my drinks, one was a cocktail and the other was a mocktail. I started with the Tormenta Pina which was very coconut creamy and then I got a Nekked Raskolnikov which was a very refreshing coffee drink. Overall everything was great. read more

I had no idea this place was here. The sign is small the bartender mentioned when I asked about it. It's on Marble street near the same name brewery. It wasn't huge in there but it had a great bar setting, enough tables to sit at inside and out and a cool ceiling of a variety of doors, yes I said doors. It had a green area with beautiful plants . They had happy hour drink specials. A couple frozen drink options and a couple of draft beer options. But honestly it's more a distillery than a brewery for sure and I love that distilleries are becoming more of a thing in NM. Drinks were great, atmosphere and staff were great too! I'll definitely return and if you haven't tried it and you want a nice cocktail, give them a try. A nice kinda hidden gem. read more

A very good local distillery in Albuquerque. The bartender on duty when we were there was highly professional and provided excellent information about their products and the drinks we ordered. I couldn't help but notice that she spotted a smudge or dirt on one of the glasses as she inspected them prior to mixing our drinks. She promptly set it aside to be washed and used another that met her standards. I enjoyed a "Bad Lieutenant" (a variation on a classic Old Fashioned) and a "Cowboy Negroni" made with agavero and bit of "smoke." Both were tasty! And I purchased a bottle of their whiskey to take back to Wisconsin -- and I'm looking forward to my next visit to try some other cocktails. read more

Went to Still Spirits just last Monday night - had a great conversation with the bartender and a delicious Bloody Mary, made with their own line of Still Spirits Vodka (the distillery is right behind the bar), house spice mix vegan Worcestershire sauce, one wedge of lemon one wedge of lime, and a couple pickled olives. Best cocktail ever, wanted to bring my friend out from Philly as he's a martini drinker - Bloody Marys are $8 during happy hour from 4 - 6, read more

Great staff and an array of spirits to choose from. Some good and some meh. Overall a great place to visit and try!! The place has a cool vibe and clean! We will come back and try some different drinks for sure! read more

We stopped into Still Spirits for an afternoon cocktail and really enjoyed it! The drink menu is unique and has many options for all pallets. Additionally, the have a happy hour menu that has great discounts as a typical drink is $10+. This is a great stop for an upscale cocktail with friends and we'll definitely be back! read more

Ahh Coronavirus Quarantine... I've been meaning to write a few reviews of the places I visited in Albuquerque, but now that my entire city is nearly on shut down, I actually have time to sit down and write some. First on my list? Still Spirits. I enjoyed this place so much, that I wish I was still there sipping on a cute cocktail. So Here I was, Day 2 of my Solo trip in New Mexico and I definitely needed a drink. I had spent the morning at the Jim Henson exhibit and I, of course, wanted to have a drink to finish out the end of my mid day activities. So, I looked up the bookmarked bars on my yelp app (always gotta be prepared) and remembered the lovely photos of drinks at Still Spirits. "Oh Yes" I thought to myself. This was definitely the next place I wanted to visit. I was only in ABQ for a few days and I had to make sure to visit enough places to brag about when I returned back home. I walked in sometime in the afternoon, maybe 3pm and immediately fell in love with the interior. It was small, clean and definitely could rival the hipster bars back at home. The best part? There was plenty of room for me to plop down at the bar. I looked though the menu and can't remember what I got, but what I got was dark red and delicious. Did I pretend I was a vampire temptress drinking the blood of her enemies? Um Duh, of course. I'm a huge fan of fruity cocktails and this one definitely hit me right in my girly feelings. So delicious. I enjoyed my adventure to Still Spirits. It was on my tip top list of places I had to visit in ABQ and I am so freakin' happy I did. read more

Craft cocktails here are always an adventure worthwhile. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Albuquerque.

Really nice little spot with some inventive cocktails using their own distilled spirits. It's a really great spot for happy hour. My favorite cocktail spot in ABQ outside of Bar Uno. read more

I enjoy Still Spirits very much for the spectacular drinks. Their flavor balance is just absolutely delicious. The customer service is always so wonderful.

This spot is now open ladies and gentlemen! There's something about this spot that just lights me up, and yes I'm talking about the extraordinary cocktails that this place has to offer. Just know that each drink will be made with love and grace. Definitely a spot that will draw you in as a regular. The ambiance is quaint and modern. Whatever you order you will enjoy, I usually go between the Limonada con soda or the Bees Knees (made with gin, but it's good with whiskey too) read more

Craft cocktails in a relaxed and cozy environment. Outstanding infused liquors layered in tasty and enjoyable beverages. Mixologist Michael did a great job making sure we had a great night despite significantly varying drink preferences. Do not discount the non-alcoholic options which were complex and well balanced (no Shirley Temple copouts here). Seriously folks you NEED to get here. read more

Great Vodka drinks, especially the Roskolnikov! Friendly service in a chill atmosphere. We'll be back tomorrow! read more

Consistently creative and Great cocktails and good service. I've gone when there has been live music and the space just isn't quite big enough unless you don't like hearing the people you're there with. Just too loud for such a small space. I would avoid that. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the drinks were so delicious Would definitely come back and it's walking distance to a lot of tasting rooms read more

Stumbled upon this bar on our way to Marble. The location is perfect for grabbing drinks. I like to go for an old fashioned at any new bar because it usually feels like a good measure of the drink quality. This one did not disappoint. It's a small but cozy space & there is a small outdoor area that is also available for when the weather is nice. read more

I had such a fun night last night at Still Spirits. I was hooked on the Kim-tiki cocktail. It was a perfect blend of fruit without making me feeling like I was going to get a headache. I watched the bartender make this drink, and you could tell that they have their drinks down to a science. An interesting part of her construction of the drink was when she slapped the mint between her hands. I asked why she did that, and she said that it releases the mint flavoring so it's not just a leaf in a drink. She was super nice and very attentive to us. The ambiance was very laid back and cool. There is a part of the bar that faces the outside, so that's where we sat and watched the sunset! read more

Great drinks. They use natural ingredients. The drinks are not too sweet. They are made just right. My husband had the Gin and Tonic. He said it was refreshing. I had the Kun-Tiki and the Tormenta Piña. Very good! read more

Still Spirits is a cool little bar that specializes in drinks that showcase their house made spirits. Vodka and gin I think it is. They don't offer any beer, but you'd best just find yourself across the street at Marble for that. It's basically just across the street so bar hopping between the two would be an easy task if you like to go back and forth between your libations. The vibe in the is pretty chill and low key. The lighting is low and they have random doors decorating the ceiling.It's not terribly big inside but still has plenty of seating for a few small groups. The menu is is not too big but the drinks are very unique and even include such ingredients like Turmeric which I don't see very often at other places. Be sure to try a few of them out, they have some fruity drinks and my favorite, the Raskolnikov. Its an organic cold brew coffee with organic half & half, simple syrup and their vodka. Perfect for the coffee addict like myself. The music selection is always fun and seems to match the mood of the crowd. If your looking to escape the crowds of most spots and enjoy a good drink I would highly recommend a night cap at Still Spirits. read more

I love this bar! They have the best cocktails in town. The setting is usually relaxed, they play eclectic music and it's set in a nice minimal yet comfortable space. They are actually a distillery and distill gin and vodka right in the back. Their gin is some of the best I've had ever. read more

I had never heard of this place till my friend suggested going. It is a fun place to go. The drink are amazing and unique. The prices are not bad for the size of drinks you are getting and that they have fresh ingredients. When it comes to the service don't expect fast service. The bartender was very slow to get drink orders and did not do well with multi tasking. He was very knowledgeable about their spirits and was willing to make whatever you want. I am hoping that they will consider a second bartender next time I am back. read more

Cute, little swank bar located across from Marble Brewery. We were referred here from a nice woman who said the drinks were great and decently priced. I had the Bloody Mary and my husband had the Raskolinkov. Both were on the stronger side but tasted great nonetheless. The menu is simple yet the cocktails are intricate. Definitely a spot for post date night drinks or to meet up with friends because the inside is very intimate. They are also pet friendly! We will be returning. read more

Incredibly busy and not prepared for it. Only one bartender for a place that was already tiny and was packed to standing room only. We were instantly forgotten about. The one drink I had was outstanding but definitely not worth the people breathing on your neck the whole time or the exceptionally poor service. I can see why it is popular. It was very new age and the drinks were outstanding but again the environment and the staff just ruined it. I'll try to give it a shot on a Thursday night when they have a handle on it. read more

Truly excellent cocktails. Only problem is you've got to wait a bit for them - seems like they could always use one more bartender working. Very comfortable vibe. Reasonable prices. It's a nice spot. read more

Hidden Gem. This place has absolutely amazing cocktails, and I love how quaint but "cool" this little spot is inside. You'd never guess it was anything more than a garage standing across the street at Marble Brewery. It's a MUST pit stop while your in Downtown ABQ! PS- My boyfriend + I highly recommend the "Kon Tiki" and the "Raskolnikov"! read more

If you're looking for a cocktail I recommend Still Spirits. My favorite on the menu so for us the Kon-Tiki. It's fruity taste isn't overly fruity and the vodka isn't overpowering that you feel like it's taking a shot. The interior is small so when it's their busy hours (945pm-11pm) it starts to get crowded. So if you can get there prior seating isn't bad. You do have to order your drinks at the bar because of how small the area is. It can also get very loud when it's crowded. To me it's not a big deal because our group is loud when we do go. Hoping they get a similar place on the Westside though because a good cocktail joint and getting served a good cocktail in general is hard to find in Albuquerque outside of an actual restaurant. read more

It's a small location but full of life inside!!!! The drinks are even better. Nice place to come during the week to enjoy a beer or cocktail and catch up on reading a book or meeting friends for happy hour! read more

Still Spirits - The "Still Bourbon" ordered neat! - Distilleries Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

A must if you're in or passing through Albuquerque. Harry at the bar was wonderful, he was a class act and definitely serves some of the best drinks in this city. We tried a couple different ones. The old fashioned was A+ and the Greyhound is a springtime staple. I do think this is great for groups and even more great if you're in the mood for something different besides beer. Best of all, their beverages are right under the $10 mark which isn't the case for surrounding bars and lounges downtown. If you're really about supporting local, Still Spirits is it! read more

Am I hallucinating, or is Albuquerque finally getting swank? Not swank in a blingy sense, more like the swank I tend to experience in other cities, the Damn-I-just-dropped-in-the-spot kinda swank, the I-can-do-this-for-a-coupla-hours swank, the Oh-now-that's-how-a-cocktail-should-sip kinda swank. Still Spirits isn't braggy or brash, it's just right, a simple distillery pouring simple spirits in a low-key space with just the right sprinkle of woods and greens, I dunno, it hits those notes I've found other places, rarely Albuquerque. My Brown Derby hit a delightful mark, a drink the way I likes it, three ingredients. I also licked up a Lavender Jalapeño Gimlet, wow, just enough fire to send the drink wandering away from what I anticipated. An absolutely perfect down the street sidecar to the OG Marble Brewery, this is probably the place you want to begin, before beer. Look at you, ABQ, fly cocktails? I never thought I'd see the day. read more

To keep it short; Great service, amazing hand crafted drinks, small-but cozy atmosphere. I'd like to see an expansion for this thriving location and business. Two thumbs up! read more

Best drink in town: Limonada con Soda. These guys make the best drinks in town with fresh ingredients. They also have great music and atmosphere. I feel like I'm in California not too far from the beach when I'm here. read more

I just moved to Albuquerque from Los Angeles and the cocktails at this place are comparatively as good and so darn cheap! Plus, how fun that they have house-made spirits. The jalapeno-spiced cocktail I ordered tasted exactly like I expected too, which was a pleasant surprise, and the people I was with all seemed to really enjoy their drinks. While the bartenders obviously know what they are doing, I didn't find the service to be very friendly, which was a bit of a bummer. I feel like people could be guided through their selection and educated on the house-made (and other) spirits a bit more. Maybe that's an LA thing? ;) But the live DJ was good and the bathroom wallpaper is awesome. read more

Vodka and gin, neither of which are my first choice for liquor (not gonna lie, the days of undergrad ruined vodka for me), but Still Spirits has renewed my perspective. The bartenders were friendly and helpful as my boyfriend and I were trying to choose drinks. We settled on the Greyhound and Kontiki, and both were tasty! Kontiki is a definite winner with refreshing tropical flavors--all reparative qualities for my relationship with vodka :) The spot is nice and quiet in comparison to the hectic masses at Marble just across the street. Definitely will be returning! read more

This cocktail bar is all time. Puppy friendly and smooth in-house gin and vodka. Raphael and Avery were perfect bartenders. Their service and quality of drinks were amazing. I definitely recommend the Raskolnikov and their vodka variation of a mojito. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

Love this place! Their drinks are unique, and they have a regular drink menu plus a rotation of seasonal/special drinks. The ingredients are fresh, and the cocktails are thoughtfully created - so it can take a few minutes to get a drink, which I definitely don't mind because they are so so good! It's a small, intimate cocktail bar and it feels like I'm transported to another city. The crowd is chill, especially earlier in the night, and the music is eclectic and on point. This is my favorite spot to grab a couple of delicious cocktails with friends - I highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is an interesting spot. It has a cool vibe and offers up some great drinks. This past weekend, I stopped in with some friends and tried the A Basil cocktail... it was both delicious and dangerous. It goes down super smooth and then you realize there are 2 oz of vodka per drink!! It's probably one of the best cocktails I've had in ABQ. I don't like all their drinks but it is a cool spot that's off the beaten path. Happy drinking. read more

I do not have any photos from my experience here because I had no intentions of writing a review when I came. I wish I had because I imbibed 5 drinks and they were soooooooo good. I'm not a big fan of gin. But I'm a huge fan of anything whiskey. I was stoked when I saw the Penicillin on the menu. Heart dropped when I found out it was made with gin. I took a gamble and ordered it anyways. WOW was all I had to say. Not sure how she did it but the bartender was able to capture the smokiness of the drink without floatimg any scotch! All the drinks were reasonably priced and even better during happy hour. Definitely a place I'll be frequently visiting for some downtime indulgence. read more
