Wow! We had cocktails and dinner there a few nights ago and I have to tell you I was extremely impressed and I’m not easily impressed. First of all the ambience was out of this world, loved it loved it loved . second the drinks were stellar. I had a vesper, and our friends had gimlets and old fashions all wonderful, and the presentation was just to die for, now the food; had the steak bites and our friends had the chicken skewers and a burger. All of the food was presented beautifully and very flavorful. It is a neighborhood gem!I used to go there when it was Jack’s. Make a reservation and get over there pronto , I promise, you won’t be disappointed

Did not eat here; rather, my group stopped in for some after dinner drinks.The decor reminds you of an old-fashioned speakeasy, with a modern twist, which is belied by the exterior when you arrive. Great selection of bourbon, and the drinks were pricey for Albuquerque, but good nonetheless, well, except for the margarita.Parking is a bit of a hassel, and make sure you have a reservation if you are visiting in the evening. We did not, but the staff ultimately found us a table, and we enjoyed our time.Overall, it's a fun place to hang out, not too loud, and the service was really good.

Service and Ambiance was top notch. Will definitely go back again . We didn't get anything to eat but I'm sure if the drinks were as good then the food would be great

I love the atmosphere but the drink I got smelt like wet dog. I only drank half of my drink because every time I want to sip it smelt gross. Very disappointing since these drinks are more expensive than most bars. :( maybe I’ll try the food next time I go.

Look here. The man behind the bar (Dimtri) knows how to make an excellent Boulevardier and Jungle Bird. The man is knowledgable and is honestly a man who cares what he puts out. I recommended him without a doubt.

Very comprehensive drink menu! We ended up trying two of the cocktails, “it’s a party” (pictured in the front) and “sweet life”. “It’s a party” had a very unique taste, I didn’t quite like much green food coloring had settled at the bottom but I enjoyed the tartness. “Sweet life”’s not quite as fruity as I expected, I look forward to trying more drinks on the menu.The atmosphere and decor inside is lovely—dark and vintage. Service was wonderful as well. Overall a very charming place, I would recommend coming here!

So, let me start with the highlight and boy are they a highlight. The drinks are really top notch, some of the better cocktails we have had in the city, so a super big shout out to the bartenders. Also, a quick shout out for the atmosphere, super cool digs and environment. However, that concludes the niceties for our experience. Let's start with the service. It was a Friday night and while fullish, I certainly wouldn't have called this busy. At the fullest, we counted 16 people in our service section. We waited a solid 15 minutes to get a touch from our server after being seated. Since we had ample time to review the menu, we put in our drink and food order all at once. We received our drinks in a reasonable time line but here is where it started down hill. Our server would touch a table near us but then blow right past us and then continued to inexplicably disappear for long periods of time and then when they would reapear, they would blow past us. I'll detour for a moment to talk about the food, it was delivered by someone that wasn't our server and at no point did our server ever ask about our food. I got the biria tacos, calamari and my wife got the fries and elote. The fries were cold but based on service, we weren't going to touch that. My wife loved the elote. The calamari was solid. The biria tacos were beyond a disappointment. The beef was bland and flavorless and there was no offering of consume, so they were dry and really were just a big nothing. Again, someone else cleared out plates, because again our server vanished. We really wanted one more drink before cashing out, we nearly bailed on this notion because again our server seemed to avoid us at all cost but again, the great bartenders saved the day.In summary, would we return..... possibly if we wanted a good cocktail and had an abundance of time to surrender to the abhorable servers and yes, I used the plural because the table next to us, on the dividing line of sections, at one point, so desperate for a drink, approached the bar in attempt to get their needs met, only to return dejected and left to the cattle call that was the service here.

Had AWFUL food here but I’m too much of a coward to ever send anything back. No problem with our sever, she sweet & attentive. Drinks were good. But the price for food that caca is thumbs down !!!

Food and beverages are good. Ambience is very relaxing. Service, on the other hand, has been consistently bad. But, not bad to visit once in a blue moon.

If you can get past the rude hostess, you might be good. Do not recommend. Terrible service. Always looking for m new Friday spot. This won't be it, unfortunately.
