This is a member's only club. Didn't get the visit the venue.

I've been a guest here for a better part of a year, and I love coming. The drinks are well priced and tasty and the pool table is all sick. Bartender always says hi and has a smile. Having meetings for my organization here is very nice, almost has an older club type feel...which is the point. Makes me wish I was in the press so I could sign up to be a member.

I went here as a guest of a member and was asked multiple times who I was with. They have a vetting process so once it's done the first time it should be good enough - I couldn't tell if they were rude or just not organized. Other patrons were friendly but I don't understand why they would tolerate the staff to be like that. Cabin was really cool, and the concept is neat but, I can't decide whether the elitism of the staff is fake and designed to be part of the exclusive type feel.... Or they're just super entitled. The people there and the overall atmosphere are the only reason it gets two extra stars. Interesting enough When my friend that was a member said I did a lot of reviews on multiple platforms suddenly everyone at the end was all smiles and you should have said something. That's not how this works and why I don't say a thing Maybe it was an off night and after a duration, I will go back and try again because we all know that sometimes staff can give a bad impression that's not the fault of the whole business.... But.. yikes

Enjoyed a tour of the historical cabin, designed by an architect for his family and built in the early 1900's. The high vaulted and welcoming study features a stone fireplace, a collection of books and several places to read or enjoy a quiet place for conversation. The billiard room, porch/veranda, and patio areas are very inviting. The multi-level bar area is cozy and features a wide range of delicious cocktails. I am applying for membership so I have a quiet place to have a cocktail and enjoy the sunset.

An old piece of ABQ history. Went to an art exhibit there. Would love to explore it more with less people some time.

Great place to hang and enjoy the drinks (have a smoke if you are so inclined). Very eclectic with many rooms to explore. Need to come with a member, tho -

Good place. It's a members only place, but I was invited over for the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride this year. Drinks are a touch pricy, but good.

I cannot express how awfully my partner and I were treated because we were not members. Neither of us have ever heard of this place before. We found an event that was listed as public and "open to anyone" on Facebook. We arrived and there was a sign saying "members and guests" so we called to ask if the event was open to the general public were told "yes" by someone named Harry. We parked and walked up to the front only to be stopped and told we had to be members or guests of a current member. We're told we can enter if we buy a membership on the spot. I ask for details and they bring us inside to "learn more". I'm immediately told to just fill out an application with no further information, granted the application is decently informative. I decide I don't want to spend $110 for my partner and I to enjoy an event that we were told was "free" and "for the public" especially at a place I've never been to before. As we're leaving a member offers to sign us up as his guests to let us stay and enjoy the event they were hosting. We were grateful. But then, the evening proceeded to get worse by the way we're being treated as "non members". Essentially abq press club employees were trying to "kick us out" or coerce us into leaving by telling us "the member who signed you in was leaving therefore you can't be here any longer and have to leave too". And by ignoring us at the bar. We then had another member sign us in as their guests. We were shunned, scoffed at and had eyes rolled at us, for a raffle we paid to enter, because we won two very large prizes. People "jokingly" avoiding us, putting a hand up to block their face from us, or saying "oh, YOU'RE the ones who won". Our host member offered to buy us a drink. When we approached the bar the bartender asks "are you guys even members yet?" And I responded "no we are guests" he looks at the member who was ordering for us and says to him "are you even a member?!" He responds "yes I am, I have been for months." Our member tries to order us three espresso drinks that he explained the head bartender made him before. We are told they don't have espresso and they don't have any coffee to make us our drinks. The president, Will, comes up and orders two cold brews for us that staff reluctantly served us. Our host member is now furious because we were all just lied to. So our member tries to approach the head bartender named Shaun who literally says "we aren't going to serve them because they aren't even supposed to be in here!" And walks away. I don't understand how we weren't supposed to be in the bar if the policy is literally "guests of members" which we were, of several members who offered to host us as their guests because they enjoyed us there. I absolutely cannot even fathom paying a membership to a place that treated us so poorly and practically denied us service because we didn't want to join on the first night we've ever stepped foot there. We were told by many members we could be guests of the theirs any time. But we don't even want to come back!

Horrible place. Even worst service! Not going to renew the membership here. Seriously rude as s employees !

Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere. That includes the staff & membership.Well worth the membership fee in adult beverage savings alone. Outdoor patios with a splendid view all around, a large fireplace in the high-ceilinged front room, a cozy bar area and plenty of other comfortable rooms to gather a small group. Pool table, dart boards, poker table, and a huge outdoor barbecue available to members. There's a nice park next door and it's right off Central Ave. I wish I was there right now.
