Los Alamos contains more churches than bars, which is a probably sufficient commentary on the night life. Some of the restaurants occasionally offer live entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Quark Bar

At the central avenue grill see above has recently opened. it's a comfortable wood finished room nice for meeting friends after work or pleasure.

Il Santo Vineyard

Improbably enough, Los Alamos contains a winery that's operated by a retiree from the nuclear weapons program at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Il Santo Vineyard also called Balagna Winery on signs leading into town is a low-volume operation and doesn't advertise or distribute widely, but their irreverently named "Bomba Grande" sometimes appears in local outlets. It's a reasonably potable table wine, and the whimsical label makes the bottles an amusing memento of the town. Update: Mr. Balagna has retired
