A pleasant big bar of a place on Central Ave in the University district. You can take the bus easily from downtown. Worth a detour if you take in the Kelly's Brewpub around the corner. When we were there the food truck outside was more like soul food, smoking up a storm.

Casual and cheerful place with local folks of various ages and lots of the younger. Definitely not a tourist stop. Big windows, big outdoor area. The kind of college-age, sweet, and attractive bar girls that melt a geezer's heart. Eager to please.

Beers were quite pleasant, if not memorable. I would return here next time in Albuquerque before I went to at least three other brewpubs. They have a Honey Wheat, a Pilsener, a Red Ale, a Stout, and a Pale Ale on tap as "classics." I also tried a "Wild Wheat Belgian Ale" which was good, and they have a Doppel Bock and other seasonals.
