I don't remember needing a password, just an ID, but maybe that depends on who is in charge for the evening. Once inside, it's all vibes and great drinks. The bartenders made me a really awesome smokey old fashioned, but the star of the show was the specialty ginger cocktail they were featuring, that right now I cannot remember the name of. Pic attached tho! It's not a big place, but there are both high tops, couches and lounge chairs, and bar seating depending on your preference. As an out of town visitor, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

The bartender was attentive, poured good drinks, and refused the clearly drunk patrons who tried to enter (who likely left the bad reviews). I couldn't imagine trying to run a bar as bartender, waiter, and bouncer on a slow Monday night never mind when it gets busy. It's a swell place to get drinks with a few laughs and I'll be back.

Not sure why this is listed as a speakeasy. I definite wouldn't categorize this location as one…read more But it's a solid bar! I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating. It's also listed as rooftop. Which it is... but it's on the second story. Either way, they did a great job with the space. There're options for diff seating areas to be more in the mix of things, or more secluded and private. Entrance is through the hotel, through Char, and up the stairs. Suprize and RJ were great bartenders. The clarified pina colada milk punch was delicious.

New prohibition era-style speakeasy bar at the Hotel Andaluz. Formerly Ibiza, this space has…read moretransformed inside and out, the architectural details indoor transport you back to the 1930's with marble accents, emerald green velvet and low light. The space has been flipped around so the bar is on the opposite side it used to be. The bar is larger but the space is the same size leaving the seating area a bit cramped. Service was well enough I believe it was their first day of service so they are finding their footing. I did not try a signature cocktail however, expect to spend $15-$17 which I guess is standard these days. I had a vodka soda (my go-to) and we went outside. The patio is much more open compared to the old space, and the vibe is more boho chic with funky accents and wicker chairs. They have these fun swinging chairs outside, however , I found their placement a bit odd, because they are right in front of the dual service bar top and there's only two chairs. The music was big band, and swing and the vibe was chill, it was a precursor to our next venue but still relaxing for a Sunday afternoon. Also one thing to note is that they do not serve the downstairs menu upstairs but serve "snacks". Beef jerky, nuts, that sort of thing. Go check them out and help support local. I expect to go back again soon and will update.

Still Spirits is definitely a hidden gem, somewhere I had been wanting to check out, but had yet to…read morehave 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.

I had no idea this place was here. The sign is small the bartender mentioned when I asked about it…read more 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.

This is a beautiful historic bar, located in the Clyde Hotel…read more I had Carrie's Burger and the Olive Oil Martini (OK, this was an experiment based on another review that I read). The burger was fantastic! Served with your choice of salad or fries. ( I picked salad - trying to be healthy ) The Martini was a bit shocking at first sip... it got better as I drank it. I thought maybe the EVOO was good for my health too . I might not order it again, but I enjoyed the adventure! Service was a bit slow, due to limited staff early on. Later, more staff arrived...just in the nick of time. I got there at 7pm, maybe that was a bit too early.

I wouldn't typically go to a hotel bar, but this one was worth it. The old vintage feel was nice…read more The open lobby area outside the bar is really neat with velvet couches, plants, lots of ornate decor. I don't think you can have a drink out there though. We went here for a low key place to paint and spend some time. They put up with us doing art at the table well and allowed 2 of us to sit at a big round corner booth to have some quiet and privacy. The place was actually surprisingly loud when we arrived with some loud groups and sound carrying, but it quieted down later. This was a weekday evening. Our server was very nice and helpful in us selecting our drinks. The drinks were fancy and good. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pumpkin spice martini off- season. I really enjoyed the drinks I had. I ordered mushroom flatbread and it was plentiful and very tasty.

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 didn't know what to expect from this place since I looked at the bad reviews first so I can set…read moremy expectations right. When I came this day, they had live jazz music. 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!

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.

My cousins and I basically gave up on food and say... let's just drink!! Best decision ever because that's how we met Joshy!! BEST BARTENDER EVER!! Joshy was so fun and friendly, and of course his drinks were delightful. Honestly all the 5 stars for this establishment is mainly for Joshy!! He deserves allllllll of the stars and the moonnnnn in the skyyyyy.... ;) Moonwalk stands out since all of their products feature local vendors... so local wines, liquor and brews. I'm not the biggest New Mexico fan but I respect the concept. Supporting locals is good for the local economy. 3 drink limit. Everyone gets carded, so don't be sensitive and take it personally. Between the three of us, my cousins and I tried a good amount of their brews and whiskeys. I had the Sandia Paleta, Lexington Lemonade, and Jala-Back Girl. The Sandia Paleta has agave spirit, watermelon, lime, tabasco. Fun to try but the least favorite if I had to compare. The Lexington Lemonade has lone wolf, lemon, peach and ginger beer. Very light and refreshing. A tad sweet, but still probably my favorite drink among the three. The Jala-Back Girl has jalapeno rum, simple syrup and lime. Not too spicy, just enough spice to have a kick. Very unique. An amazing way to start the day at Moonwalk with my cousins and Joshy. Highly recommended checking this spot out if you are in the area.
