If you want a decent local bar downtown for an afternoon drink, this is the place to go. The service is great, the food is top notch and you can watch the passers by on Central. Stay away from the night time as it is quite the hot spot for the younger crowd - very crowded at night with a... More

Interesting place to dine and a lot of fun. The food was OK. If you like the typical bar type food and enjoy playing poll, this is just for you.

Husband and I went for a drink after a day long event. Arrived around 5PM. For downtown ABQ it is a larger bar. The brick walls and woodent ceiling trusses are exposed and makes it look quaint.

I liked it here more than my girlfriend. Look at the website to see why! In all honesty, if you look past the slightly tacky staff dress code, this is actually a pretty good bar. Food was OK and very plentiful (we only ordered a couple of starters between us, and didn't even finish them), and there were quite a... More

The "uniforms" the ladies wear make for a very relaxing afternoon. The view of the main drag through town (route 66) is fun to watch as well. Can't really remember how the food was.

its just another terrible greasy frozen deep fried food chain with female staff in skimpy clothing. no better than hooters or twin peeks, this may be the tackiest of the genre'd theme establishment.

What a dive! Not like the one in Phx at all. Bikers and a doorman on the nod! If you want to get shanked chino style to here.....if not take a walk up the street to Maloney's or BrGr for good drinks and no knives.
