Great spot to relax after a long work week! Live music and some games. Can get busy!

I was so excited to try this place on my last visit back home and it was the absolute WORST place I've ever been to! Rude, dismissive, a very " Too cool for school" type of vibe. I regret spending my money there and recommend going ANYWHERE else!

We were hoping...the service was mediocre at best and the drinks were...meh. The combined patio is cool and very large. Might try again if in the area but if others are open, not likely.

Good drinks and food just on the pricy side. I came in for happy hour and didn't get any discounts on our 4 drinks. We also ordered bruschetta which was literally one piece of bread for $10, three hand pies $11 each which were really good, two sliders $3 each which had good flavor and some waffle fries $11 enough for two to share. Portions were too small for the price and not big enough to share except the fries. I would come just for the drinks, but I don't recommend going there hungry or expect a big bill at the end.

Ok we have now been here twice, and wow! the hand pies! they are winners. And the sesame cookies both times have been fantastic! Fine drinks, and an amazing back yard patio. Not fast paced in the kitchen, or a very extensive menu. but what they do what they do very well. The moctails and cocktails were delicious. I had not even known they had any food, and im not a big drinker so it was only by catching their signboard listing handpies, got me in the door. and Im glad I did. Im looking forward to visiting their neighbors who share the patio, its a new brewery.

Great drinks, great price for food (munchies) and the best outdoor atmosphere. We will be back many more times. If you are looking for a chill outdoor cocktail area, look no further.

We were feeling in the mood for a margarita and had never been here before so we thought to give it a shot. It's a cute area in the Bricklight District across from the University of New Mexico. The only downside for the area is the homeless population which can be common in the area. When you walk inside, you find yourself in a cozy modern rustic vibe. We were fortunate that they had live music; a guy playing acoustic guitar and singing. The bartender, Madison was friendly and knowledgeable in their drink selection. The margarita was very good and I would say one of the best I have had in the city since Zacatecas closed. I would definitely recommend coming to this lovely little bar.

This was one of the worst experiences in a bar that I've ever had. It was a total shit show and if I could have given zero stars, I would. We walked in to a bar area that was an L shaped bar with about a dozen chairs. But sitting at the bar and ordering a drink was NOT an option. Instead, we were required to stand in a line that was at least 10/12 people long and order from a guy standing in front of the bar with one of those hand-held credit card machines. You could not order from the bartenders (I asked and they said I couldn't and to get in line - sounded like they had no ability to ring up a customer). So, as is my custom, if I had wanted to run a tab, that was not a option. After waiting at least 15-20 minutes to order from the very slow-moving guy, it took at least another 10-15 minutes to get the drink. I watched the bartender try to give my drink to the party who ordered after us; I walked up and took it before I had to wait another 10 minutes for a replacement. By the time I got my beverage, I wanted to do nothing more than get out of the place. I drank it and left. It's too bad. The outside area was nice and the band we were there to see would have been great except that there was very little energy from the audience. Probably because they had waited in line so long...Do Not go to this place. These people have absolutely no idea what the hell they are doing.

I intended to do a short visit before an Isotopes Baseball game but...I was late to the game because I enjoyed myself so much. Very nice staff, answered lots of questions since I enjoy exploring distilleries, breweries and wineries. Wide variety of flavored liquors (I'm picky about those, don't give me flavored vodka) which were all very nice but the red and green pepper screamed local ingredients to me. I left with two bottles of the green pepper liquor to add zip to some cocktails at home.

One of the best secret hideaways in ABQ. Kelly, Edith and Madison are fantastic servers; and their cherry cider is the absolute bomb. Be on the lookout for the kick butt drink specials too, becasue the crafted cocktails rivals anyone's. If you're not hanging here, your're missing out
The hand pies are amazing, good cocktails, and the black sesame cookies are also great

The workers are so kind, gave me a water bottle while I was dealing with my broken car in the hot sun ❣️

Hot take: Go here ASAP! I personally cannot wait to go back to 505Spirits Amazing drinks, super friendly staff (with an exception), great atmosphere. But, to elaborate, I was tentative at first because the first young lady who "took our order" was alarmingly rude and dismissive from the jump, to a point where we felt like we were inconveniencing her by merely walking in and wanting to order a drink. I am sympathetic; maybe she was having a bad day or we caught her at a wrong moment but It was awful to feel like she was taking something out on us when we barely said 2 to words to her and were nothing but extremely friendly to this person. Thankfully the remaining staff were SO friendly that it more than offset the initial interaction. They all truly went out of their way to make their customers happy. The ambiance was warm and inviting. It was a hot day but the covered back patio provided plenty of shade where we enjoyed a great live band (shout out Stray Dawgs- so talented!). The staff brought out water and ice to keep us hydrated and cool. The margaritas were refreshing, delicious, and well balanced. I tried both the Green Chile and the Classic Margarita. I am craving them both right now. I will return here again and again!! A really lovely space, experience, and owner!!

An absolute MUST in Albuquerque. Not only are the drinks incredible and beautifully presented, I have never had wings this great in my life. The triple truffle fries are incredible, as well as the blue corn corn dog (vegetarian option available also). I will be coming to this place for years - the red chile wings were to die for. I have seriously never had food this great, and the owner is very passionate and loves what she does. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Now I know why this establishment was empty on a Saturday night. The cocktails were not very good. I had a dirty martini and it was one of the worst I've ever had! My other three friends ordered drinks on the menu and were all disappointed. We left after one drink.
