Alien Brewpub was my favorite local place I went to while on a week long work trip to Albuquerque.It had a fantastic chill vibe, great selection of craft beers AND cocktails, and the food was great too! Went three days in a row and definitely was the best place to relax after a very long day of out of town work.Allie the bartender was awesome and the best!
Zero redeeming qualities. I couldn’t take more than a bite of the fried pickles. I had to get my own napkin and silverware. And I can’t get my bill to save my life. Thinking about guessing at the check and trying to leave a rough estimate for the total and tip.
Pretty good food overall. The Jalapeño poppers are some of the best you will find out. Unfortunately the owners don't staff the place with enough help. Service is terrible because they are going back and forth working at alien bar and uptown bar and grill. This awful service is on the shoulders of the owners. They put their employees in no win situations due to the lack of help. This was a problem before covid. I feel sorry for the employees that deal with this and I can see why there is so much turnover in employees.
Nice environment and a friendly staff, but our server seemed to really take her time between her trips to the table to check in on our group. We were a large group and several of us had places to be, so it was a bit inconvenient having to keep waiting, wondering where she was when we had to leave. Then, when we finally saw her, we noticed she strongly smelled of cigarettes, giving us the impression that she was taking frequent smoke breaks, which was likely the cause for our prolonged waiting. When we asked for our checks, we noticed that several of us got charged for the wrong items and had to ask her to fix the problem, but again, we had to wait for the elusive waitress to return. Once our problems were resolved and the remainder of us moved outside, those of us who ordered at the bar had no problems at all. The bartender was wonderful and she was able to serve us in a timely manner.
Great selection of craft beer. Fish and chips were very good and the fried pickles. Waitress was excellent and taking care of the whole place. Very pleased with our experience.
Go to alien brew pub they have really good beer and their food is good also. I had there fried pickles they were pretty good. The atmosphere is alien style on the walls and spaceship on the wall. The bathrooms are pretty clean also. The wait staff is very professional they would take really good care of you. I have been to this bar before when it was a different name than alien brewpub. I would go to this again it was fun.
Place was not busy by any means. Nobody to greet you at the door, we just guessed that we sat ourselves. No biggie, right? Found a table and waited a good 10 minutes before anyone greeted us or acknowledged us. Server finally approached and delivered menus. A good 10 minutes past that she came back around and asked for our drink order. Since we waited so long we were ready to order food and drinks at the same time. I ordered the imperial stout and my wife ordered a water. Her water came, then about 10 minutes later, our food came. No beer yet. I asked the person who delivered our food about my beer and she said she'd ask. Then, finally the server brought my beer. From the time I ordered my beer and the time I received it was definitely longer than 20 minutes. Long story short, our server was not very good. We watched her walk around and she was never overwhelmed, she just didn't seem to care. We only ordered appetizers and thank goodness because I feel we would have waited the rest of the night. The food wasn't bad but the service was definitely substandard. Can't say I've experienced service this poor in a long time. To sum it all up there are plenty of other brew pubs that are better, if you have nowhere else to go then by all means stop by. If you have choices then definitely choose something else.
We went inside and waited to be seated. There were no waiters no bartenders present and than finally someone came out and told us to sit anywhere. So we sat on the side of the bar at a tabletop for about 10 minutes. No one said anything to us! Nothing was said! So we got up and walked out! Very rude!!!
Enjoyed a great lunch of green chili cheeseburgers, onion rings and pilsners. Courtney was a fantastic waitress, very personable and attentive. We look forward to going back.
Great place to grab some elevated bar food. I ordered the jalapeño poppers, New Mexico Philly, and some onion rings.The jalapeño poppers are hot hot hot. Like super hot. If you like hot hot get them. If you don't, skip them. That's not a ding, but you should know that going in.The onion rings are amazing. But I love onion rings. They are a good crunchy ring. Philly was ok and filling. Service was amazing. I'll for sure be back.
