    Quaint & cozy lounge off to the side of the Monterey Motel. Live music Fridays & Saturdays. My only snippet of feedback would be to knock back the can lights and rely more on the nice ambient lighting from lamps to improve the vibe a bit.

    So this was my first time. I saw a review for it and thought the drinks looked great and that food could be delivered to it. Took a few minutes to figure out where to park. There are spaces within the Monterey Motel (which has had a makeover and looks nice). The Momo is also a sister bar to the ElVado brewery/bar which I have visited when they first opened. The Momo is not super big but the furniture was super cool and the chairs at the bar was comfy with hooks for your purse. I had an espresso martini and a strawberry gin and tonic. So good! I loved that all the liquor was from New Mexico. The coffee liqueur they used for the martini was great. When I asked about food, the only two places were available were not anything that interested and two that were in there didn't offer anymore so they need to update that. There were only 2 in there so I'm thinking many people know don't know about it. So hopefully this review will spread the word. There is Great seating outside so when the weather is warm this place will be great. The drinks were fun and creative and not terribly expensive. Come check it out. It has a great vibe.

    We stopped in on a whim since we'd never been here. It's in a cool retro hotel and has a very fun lounge area with the bar. They serve local spirits and beer and the menu looked super fun. We asked if the bartender could make us an espresso martini and she said absolutely. It's very tasty and not on their menu. I'd recommend a visit.

    I loved this place so much that I came by twice in less than a week. They have done a great job of the Art Deco style in this lounge. We came by on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet. They had live music for entertainment and she was quite good. I noticed they had two cute patios, but because it was cold outside we sat by the cozy fire in the lounge. I loved this place so much that I brought my book club the following Tuesday. Our bartender was amazing. She handled us 15 ladies like a champ. If you are hungry, which we were, there is a QR code you scan that gives you different restaurants that deliver to your table. Next time I go I will order our food as soon as I get there because we did have to wait quite a bit for delivery. Overall not only was I impressed with this cute place but one of our members is planning on coming back and staycation here. Our other book club member will be hosting her birthday here and I can't wait to come back!

    Had a fabulous time checking this place out! Our bartender Rafael was amazing!!! He was so personable and made delicious drinks! The vibe in this spot is so welcoming and fun, there is indoor and two outdoor seating options. They don't serve food but you can order from nearby places and have it delivered.

    Great bar

    This motel is an excellent stay. Room was extremely clean and freshly painted. Bartender Kimberley was amazing and attentive and extremely friendly. Will definitely return!

    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.

    My husband surprised me with dinner here while we were in Albuquerque celebrating my 50th birthday,…read moreand it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. This charming little bistro near the south end of Old Town is elegant, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. Having convenient on-site parking was a nice bonus, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our server, Christopher, made the evening even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He also took the time to recommend several local restaurants and places to visit, which we really appreciated. We started with the mussels, and they were outstanding--fresh, tender, and served in a rich, spicy butter broth with perfectly toasted crusty bread for dipping. My cedar plank salmon was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and paired with a delicious chorizo risotto. My husband ordered the filet mignon, and after trying a bite, I can understand why he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. The mushroom risotto and seasonal vegetables were the perfect complement, and the fresh salad with homemade dressing was a great start to the meal. To top off the evening, the staff surprised me with a three-flavor sherbet dessert complete with a birthday candle and a thoughtful personalized birthday card. It was such a sweet touch that made me feel truly celebrated. We couldn't leave without trying the German chocolate cake, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable dinner. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we're in town.
