The Copper Lounge had incredibly unique cocktails and the service was unmatched. We sat at the bar and were so impressed by the cocktail menu - what a creative concept! Cole and Taiya were behind the bar and did a phenomenal job in their craftsmanship but also as conversationalists! They deserve to be recognized. Not only did they work hard but they were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the spirits they were serving. We didn't try to food here, but several excellent cocktails that didn't disappoint! I hope for another trip back to ABQ so I can stop in and check out the latest inventive cocktails. Very much worth a visit!

Went for a happy hour after work and I loved the ambiance! Dark and cozy with a speakeasy vibe…read more Once I entered it was easy to forget it was still sunny and hot outside. 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!

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.

This was our third time at Happy Accidents and, to my surprise, I had not reviewed this place…read more This bar is definitely big and screams artsyxotic with its grassy ceiling, hanging monkeys, and mannequin wall. The drink crafters are definitely talented and very attentive, ready to make recommendations. This last time we ordered the espresso matini, the citrus, the bubble gum cosmo, and the pornstar martini. The espresso martini was absolutely smooth with a lot of coffee flavor. The citrus was definitely citrus and refreshing. The pot star martini was very funny and fun to drink, wirh a lot of tropical flavors, but it was not as fun as the glittery cosmo. As a snack, the birria fries were a good compliment, quite delicious with enough birria. Overall, it is no surprise that Happy Accidents is one of the best bars known the US. Creativity and flavor abound on Route 66 for sure.

My husband got the signature Happy Little Accidents- the cocktail with Bob Ross atop. He said it tasted good- sweet. I got a N/A cocktail- London Girl Lost and Nochtilli Refresher. Both were really well made mocktails that didn't just taste of syrup and soda water. Flavors like actually melded really well and you can distinguish the notes! The garnish for my mocktails were fun, too- and the giant rectangular prism of ice. Staff was very kind and friendly from when we entered to sit until we left. Definitely a fun stop for an evening.

Review for Baby Dolls House of Blues…read more | Where Music, Hospitality, and Soul Come Together Last night my husband and I discovered what may very well be Albuquerque's best-kept secret--Baby Dolls House of Blues--and we are already planning our return. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we had stepped into another era. Imagine the elegance and charm of Harlem Nights brought to life with modern comfort. The intimate lighting, rich colors, luxurious seating, beautiful bar, and sophisticated décor created an atmosphere that was equal parts classy, timeless, and welcoming. Then the music began... Absolutely phenomenal. The live jazz ensemble was exceptional, but the true star of the evening was the owner herself. Her voice is breathtaking--rich, soulful, and effortlessly captivating. Every performance felt personal, heartfelt, and authentic. It wasn't simply background music; it was an experience that filled the entire room. One of the things we appreciated most was the audience itself. Everyone seemed genuinely there to enjoy the music, relax, and soak in the atmosphere. It felt intimate without being crowded, elegant without being pretentious, and lively without ever becoming overwhelming. The cocktails were beautifully crafted, service was warm and attentive, and every detail reflected pride of ownership and a genuine love for live music. In a city where finding an authentic jazz lounge can be difficult, Baby Dolls House of Blues delivers something incredibly special. It's more than a venue--it's an experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning date night, entertaining out-of-town guests, or simply looking for an unforgettable evening, this place belongs at the top of your list. We'll absolutely be back, and next time we'll be bringing friends. Thank you for reminding us that great music, exceptional hospitality, and timeless style never go out of fashion. 10/10. One of Albuquerque's hidden gems.
