Nob hill & unm
Monte Vista Fire Station
Housed above the Gruet Steakhouse, Monte Vista Fire Station roosts in a converted Depression Era fire house. Atmosphere lacking; bit empty.
Nob Hill Bar & Grill
Urban-chic bar in the heart of the Nob Hill District. Cocktails good, food not bad.
Two Fools Tavern
Irish beers and music abound. $3.75 bottled beer, $5-16 wines, scotches, whiskeys. Good beer and wine.
O'Neill's Pub
Great food, casual atmosphere, and a fantastic patio facing Old Route 66.
Kelly's Brewery
Wide variety of beers brewed on site. Good food, friendly wait staff mostly hot young ladies, and an extensive outdoor patio for people watching.
North i-25 corridor & heights
The Barley Room
Wide selection of domestic and imported beers. Good food and nice atmosphere. Live music almost every weekend. Being located in the far Northeast Heights and right next door to a mortgage company, it tends to attract an older, classier crowd.
Chama River Brewing Company
Fantastic local micro brewery which also offers a solid dining experience. $3.75 pint.
Downtown
Burt's Tiki Lounge
Eclectic doesn't even begin to describe Burt's. Popular nights: Monday, Geeks Who Drink pub trivia -- $2 drafts; Thursday, $.75 Pabst's Blue Ribbon 'til midnight.
Lotus
Unique themed nightclub. One of the few 18+ clubs in town. Thursday nights are Goth/Industrial/Electronic all other nights are House/Hip-hop/R&B.
Marble Brewery
Fine local micro brewery located in Albuquerque's industrial heart. Limited food selection, but in a taproom -- that's the point.
Westside
Turtle Mountain Brewing Company
Fresh beer and greasy pizza. $3.75 bottled beer.
