I love this place, one of my favorites in Albuquerque. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the live band is just too loud. Being on the dance floor, it's so loud your ears will physically hurt; and I'm a young person who loves going to loud concerts and blasting music in the car, but this was just TOO loud. The volume when they play music is awesome, but the bands play so loud I hate them automatically, depsite the fact that they're pretty talented. Bring cash when you go, they have excellent cash only door prices on drinks.
Other weird things: then I walked in I thought I was in the wrong place; seniors were at the door checking IDs, tickets, etc. So, little old ladies and men as bouncers. Thought I was here for bingo at first. Nice folks, just, well...different.
Great place to go out dancing and have fun and the bar tenders are all friendly people as well
Great place. the only down side is it gets packed! Wish you guys would open one up on the westside.
The sound seems okay for a live music venue. Two long 53ft bars...yup, 106 liner feet of bar and yet no beers on tap; all bottles and cans (so just clap your hands) and they cost twice as much as the weak sports bar next door.
Large crowd
Music is way too loud!
Pretty girls
Pros:
Roomy dance floor
Smoking patio in back. We're it not for the bands playing tonight, it probably wouldn't be worth the $20 Uber ride. Your mileage may vary.
Smoking area out back
It's a really fun place to dance but some of the bartenders are pretty rude.
I think they have a mechanical bull, but it isn't out this evening (in fact, they're normally closed on Mondays and this is a Monday...Which explains the lackluster crowd for a national touring act.
Good drink specials ($2.50 well drinks before 10PM some nights)
First time here in the 6 years they've been open. Here for a local indie band and JD McPherson show. Very weird. Strange signs about no gang apparel and to leave the parking lot by 2am or cops are called.
