This is the spot where my mom and I will meet up for lunch every other Friday for the past 6 years and we would order their food during the pandemic as carry out. The plough man's lunch is my favorite with turkey. The tomato chutney that they serve alongside it it the best thing in the world. Also the house made bread is thick and delightful. I usually wash it all down with a wonderful pint of the black stuff (Guinness beer). Check it out for an authentic experience. read more

First time I was here we had a great beer but didn't get to enjoy the food. Second time around we got delicious fish and chips and a tasty bread pudding! Service was great and they really seem to take time to keep customers safe. Lots of space, access to hand sanitizer, and they sanitized after each customer left. read more

Food was very good .good portion size .I had the fish and chips.excelent could hardly finish.its a little cramp and a little loud.but it's a bar.the service was just as good as the food read more

We've been going to this place since it opened, ordered practically the entire menu, discovered that I don't like Scotch Eggs, and loved everything else. Go with a group, four to five, and order the Irish nachos appetizer. It's way too much for two, although Di and I made a valiant effort. Everyone talks about the fish and chips, and with good reason. A large piece of deep fried fish with a mountain of shoestring fries... what could be bad? Great flavors and textures. The boxy Guinness beef stew is rich and flavorful. You may want order some if their great brown bread, but don't since the portion is large (I'm talking about the small portion here) and you'll find yourself waddling out. And let's not forget the bar and all those single malts, Harp and Guinness on tap together with a nice range of other beers. Ok, so I like this place... you probably will too. read more

Yep! You should come here! So this is the place we come for Irish fare because it feels right! This place takes me back to time spent in Galway and Dublin and places in between. The atmosphere is consistently fun and friendly, if not a little loud and raucous at times. Yes, there are plenty of televisions broadcasting sporting events, (real hard hitting Euro football) and the weekend live music makes it especially entertaining. Irish nachos plates is large and tasty, the beef boxty makes a cold breeze seem less invasive and the black bean burger is the best beef burger substitute in town. Come once and you'll come back! read more

Second time eating here. Went for late lunch with a buddy. Food was ok, service sucked. Good tap beer menu. Probably won't return.

Came in here while working out of town. The place was very busy, so we sat at the bar. The bartender was extremely helpful and quick to get drinks and food. Overall a great experience. read more

Among the worst fish and chips I've eaten globally. Soggy breading and over cooked fish. Came in just for the fish and chips, so I won't be going back. Atmosphere was ok, but not enticing enough for a second visit. read more

Love Two Fools! Great pub ambience Dark and comfy... If you want to watch soccer you're in luck since that is on both TVs all the time ... oops, baseball too! The food is Irish/ English pub style Always great! Nice fireplace....clean restrooms Prices are reasonable Friendly service read more

Awesome fish & chips, best in town. Unfortunately I've driven to Two Fools twice in the past two weeks only to find you closed. I had checked Apple Maps the first time, and Yelp & Google Maps the second, all still say you are open. Closing to remodel is understandable, but those of us who must travel to get to you would appreciate the favor of up to date hours on the usual apps we all depend upon. 5 stars but for the oversight. read more

So my wife is from England and although this is an Irish place, their food is legit! I got the fish and chips, a huge portion! Glad I opted for only two pieces of fish. My wife got the bangers and mash and loved it! You typically can't find sausage like that here in the States! The reason for only four stars is that our waitress/bartender (we ate at the bar), was miserable! She got our order correct, while not writing it down. Holy moly, she didn't smile once the whole time we were there! I didn't get her name, young and pretty, probably mid 20's... dark hair. Over, we really enjoyed the food and I liked the beer. They also have an amazing selection of whiskies! So, we plan on going back. read more

Great atmosphere, GREAT service, OUTSTANDING menu, a but pricy but you get more quality food than you expected and paid for. A shining star among Albuquerque eateries. Everything that O'Niell's wanted to be and thinks it is... but isn't and will never be. read more

9/27 Eat in, early dinner Food - A Service - A Waitstaff was continually attentive. I especially like "not the waitress that started with us" wait staff checking in on us Covid Precautions - F - STarting w the hostess. As we've all found w masks over the last year and a half, you can't hear when someone is talking. She kept pulling her mask down to talk, which is the worst thing you can do. She didn't have it up when we walked out either. Additionally, there were patrons walking through the restaurant, to the restroom, to leave, etc., without their masks. I get it, you don't want to find yourself on social media bc you confronted someone and it went sideways. But we're talking about the health and safety of you, your team and your patrons. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend. The food was really good. I will say that the sauce has Guinness in it. So, only get it if you like that. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. It was a fun place for lunch. They seemed a bit understaffed, but our server was friendly. read more

Wow. This place was absolutely amazing. Food was stellar, out of this world. I lived in the UK for a year and the fish and chips was on par if not better than the ones I got in the UK. Service was perfect exactly what you'd want from a pub. It was just a little dark in the pub. 10/10 must try. read more

So I was recommended to enjoy a meal here by a friend who used to live here. Well worth it! Brendan and Noah are slinging classic cocktails (e.g., with actual egg whites (yes I yelled at them for wasting the yolks!)) and turning out some killer food. First, I saw the nachos! I love nachos. At least the first 6 or 8. Not the soggy ones below. But these looked real good. Vegas good. I'm Nacho Daddy, but I'll tell you these looked close. ;-) I was told to get the Fish and Chips. Well worth it! Where they top on my list? No. I don't actually have a list of fish and chips (just barbecue and restaurants to try), but I LOVE FISH AND CHIPS. So when I saw the Food Network say Dandelion in Philadelphia had the best (MUST TRY) fish and chips I went! Word to the wise, try their Pate! AMAZEBALLS. If you want excellent fish and chips, the ones here T Two Fools will keep you smiling! Enjoy, cause they are better than Dandelion's. Ask for Greg. He's the manager. Tell him I sent you. read more

I discovered 2 Fools just a few years back and have been impressed with some of my favorite options for hot comfort food. I think that they do a fish (and chips) that is consistent with fish I've had in Ireland, England, and Australia. I am not as in love with their fries, mostly the size of the cut but yummy nonetheless. The atmosphere is very warm and dark with a fireplace which has the charm of pubs in the UK. I am a Stout drinker and have been happy with their selection of on draft Stouts. Today I'm drinking a left hand milk Stout which is perfect. My friend and I shared the corned beef cabbage and were very satisfied. read more

Really good food! Fish and chips are awesome! Great selection of beef and spirits. Of course Guinness! Atmosphere is awesome and great service. read more

Haven't been to this restaurant since before Covid. So last time I was there I swallowed bones from my fish not a good experience. So for Mother's Day I decided to try it out again with my wife. My wife ordered the fish and it was pretty dry and the tartar sauce was ok. I had the NY Pastrami sandwich very dry also. Definitely not a top rated Irish pub any more so I think I'm done once again ! Years ago it was good but it's gone downhill since. I don't recommend going to this place anymore. read more

Great food. This place has amazing fish n chips. A great whisky menu as well. Parking can be hard to get during the busy time, but we'll worth it. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner this evening at Two Fools. We met some family members here around six (on a Monday evening) and were able to find parking and get a table without waiting. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was attentive without being pushy and ensured that we had all that we needed. Our food was well-prepared and brought out extremely quick, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the single order of fish and chips ($9.99) and found it delicious. The fish was fresh and lightly battered. The chips were thinly sliced and fresh. You could tell that they used real potatoes. The other couple we were with ordered the same thing (larger order $14.99) and sung the exact same praises. My hubby ordered the bangers and mash and cleaned his plate. For dessert, my hubby and I split the Guinness brownie and our friends split the Bailey's cheesecake. We were shocked that the desserts were priced less than $5. Say what?! So cheap. This is a great little Irish pub located in Nob Hill with a great atmosphere and amazing service. AND, the food won't let you down. Come check this place out! read more

I've been here multiple times. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere is intimate. I recommend the fish and chips, pot pie, shepherds pie, and quesadillas. read more

This is by far one of the best IF NOT THE BEST RESTAURANT in town. The environment reminds me of a classic Irish pub. You can't get anything bad from their menu. The fish and chips are the best in New Mexico in m opinion. The Pub Beef Burger has some of the best flavor/meat I have tasted in Albuquerque. The drink menu is comprehensive, and I always go for the "Fools Gold." I don't have enough great things to say about this place. read more

Read in a travel magazine all of the best fish and chips restaurants in all 50 states. Two Fools was named for NM. Tried it, loved it and went back for more. Live relatively close by so no issues. Great service and atmosphere so sit back and enjoy. Plus they have tasty beers too. read more

The food here was delicious and the service was friendly and very helpful. Despite being packed, we were sat immediately and our food came out quickly. Our server was helpful and attentive and the tavern reminded us a lot of food/places we saw while in Ireland. My favorite part was actually the fresh made brown bread. So good! The only complaint I have, is that my husband was disappointed when his ploughman's lunch came out with a very tiny amount of meat on it. Overall, delicious and would love to come back! read more

Loved it!!! Great fish and chips! Very attentive staff despite the place being so busy and crowded. Great place to celebrate your Fridays.

I would like to start by saying I am British and moved to the states almost 5 years ago so I am writing this review with full knowledge of what authentic British/Irish food tastes like and this place has it bang on. For almost 5 years I have craved British fish and chips and missed going to a pub for my Sunday dinner and today my craving was satisfied. From the moment I walked into two fools I felt like I could be at home, the atmosphere and decor are so typical of an Irish pub. I wasn't expecting to much from the food but it was amazing. We ordered a bowl of beef stew as a starter which tasted exactly like it would back home, then we had fish and chips, bangers and mash, kids quesadilla and kids mini burger. The fish and chips were delicious my only criticism would be that the chips aren't home made there frozen and real British chips are fatter but that still didn't put me off or bother me that much that I would give them anything other then 5 stars. The bangers and mash almost brought tears to my eyes I haven't had sausages like that for years and it was real mash not boxed crap with home made gravy that was super tasty yum yum. Hubby got the house beer and the rest of us had waters and our grand total was $40 not bad for an awesome meal and all 4 of us walked out of there stuffed. We will be back :) Thank you two fools for making me feel at home. read more

Two Fools has become my home away from home this World Cup season. Beyond it being an awesome spot to watch matches, they also really impressed me with some of their offerings! The Irish coffee is so incredibly good. House made whipped cream and actually quality coffee - weird how simple it is to make something so delicious. Now, I know that everyone is crazy for the fish and chips. And it is good. (Was particularly impressed with the cole slaw and I am from the south.) But, I was overjoyed with the Cobb salad with house dressing as well as the Irish breakfast. These dishes for me were the real winners and totally underrated! Also really enjoyed the scotch eggs, wings, and the chips. You definitely can't go wrong here, it seems. The selection of Japanese whiskey is also surprising! Thrilled to have found this place, and even more thrilled they opened at 8am for the matches! read more

Their food is always good, we had drinks, which were all good, Irish nachos, excellent and shared the fish and chips. Everything was excellent, service was great, even with it being mostly full. read more

Honestly you can't go wrong with Two Fools Tavern when your craving pub food and beer. The Kerryman Chopped Salad was ok but honestly it had way too much dressing on it and I should have asked for it on the side. Plus I wasn't a fan of the mustard dressing to begin with so to have too much of it didn't make my salad pleasurable. The Chile Cheese Chips is a definite must order, they are they perfect gooey and green chile over fries! I feel the fish and chips truly tells you alot about an Irish Pub, Two Fools fish and chips is worth getting. It might be the best fish and chips that I have found in Albuquerque thus far. I want to say another reason I only gave this review 3 stars was due to the service. I don't feel we went during a busy time of the day (late lunch time ~1:30pm during the week), I don't feel like it should take 2+ hours to get my food. I am not sure if their target customers are business professionals but if it is they seriously need to improve their service. I don't feel like I should have to walk around and ask staff if we can place our order after waiting at a table for 30+ minutes. I like Two Fools and will probably return to their tavern but I do feel like they can improve their service. read more

Fish and chips used to be the best in town...sadly no more. Service can be excused because they were quite busy read more

Excellent food, service is better when not overrun(duh), highly recommeded, best fish & chips in NM. Warm cozy pub.

I love this place good food good food service and good atmosphere. My brother was enjoying himself too and it was his last day in ABQ. It's not too hard to find parking it just depends on what time you get there. Come and enjoy eating and drinking read more

Two Fools is one of our favorite local spots. The food and service is consistently excellent. The portions are large and the prices are fair. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect an Irish tavern with a huge selection of spirits and a nice warm fireplace. We almost always have the fish and chips bc they are the best in New Mexico, but we have not had anything that wasn't great here. Highly recommended. read more

The food was above average, not amazing though, same goes for the drinks. Ambiance was great as was the service. Definitely skip the bone marrow. read more

Great fish and chips, great Reuben as well. Cozy place if you're in to a dark pub with fireplace and trophies. Great bar as well.
