Usually one of my favorite places to go, but unfortunately had a really bad experience tonight. The bartenders were both so rude to me every time I tried to order. When I tried to order one final round I was ignored for several minutes while the bartenders both poured themselves shots. Finally one of them approached me and said “there’s water over there” and when I tried to order he repeated himself and refused to let me order despite me only having had 2 drinks over the course of 2 hours and not being drunk at all. I understand if there’s a drink limit or something but that was never communicated to me, and being ignored for several minutes and being talked to so rudely like I was a nuisance felt humiliating in a space i normally feel safe in. I’m really wary to go back because their attitudes really ruined my night.

Very rude ,they don’t like straight couples. I’ve heard this from multiple sources… but tried to give therm a chance.they Don’t know how to be professional. If you don’t know them don’t go there! They attack people for singing songs they provide . Then make a spectacle of you after they encourage you to sing them. This place is absolutel trash unless you’re in their circle! Take it from a raver plur peace love unity respect that’s the way … haters all day nuff said . Good luck and good riddance

Enjoyed the new Indigenous food items on the grill menu... new chef! Indigenous burger was great. The Frito pie was great. Enjoyed it with friends.

Talk about a dive bar trying to be something more. The food was overpriced and cold. The bartenders like to spend 15 mins outside smoking weed. Well, im waiting in a long line that has no one behind the bar. I witnessed so many people doing coke in the bathroom, to which the stall hardly worked.

Had a late lunch, so it was not very busy. It's my first time here. I ordered the Yakitori Chicken and it was very good. I'll have to return and try more off their menu. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

EDIT: Upon speaking with some regulars, I have decided to be a bit more specific with my review. The place itself is alright. It's not my cup of tea, but that's OK. I was told by a patron that there was favoritism based on sexual orientation (I was told that the bartender I was trying to get assistance from preferred conversing with gay men instead of gay/bi women) but in retrospect that was untrue, as this bartender was incredibly nice and pleasant to me. The crux of my problem comes from a certain Karaoke Jockey, whom I believe is named Simone. This KJ would only respond to patrons that tipped them, as opposed to the other KJ (whose name I'm unsure of), and would deliberately push anyone who didn't tip them to the back of the karaoke queue, regardless of how long they had been waiting to sing. I witnessed this firsthand when I saw that the person who signed up before me was next up on the queue, but I did not show up anywhere, and I know that people who signed up after me sang (sometimes 2 or 3 songs) before I could. I will definitely not be coming back as long as this KJ is running karaoke. In addition, I do not appreciate being told that I am "dangering" an LGBTQIA+ bar for venting my frustrations. This bar could be gay, straight, or solely for women, and I would still have the same complaints if I had a night like I did. I much prefer the Albuquerque Social Club, and I will be taking my business there from now on.

Was invited at random to see a show here. Did not feel welcome or included at all! Show was supposed to start at 10pm, it's 1030 and there are less than 20 people here and the show did not happen at all!! Had a couple drinks, hoped for something to happen, but no...
