Having relocated to New Mexico not so long ago, a few weeks back I stopped in on a Friday night which was my first gay bar experience here in Albuquerque. I sat at a table in the corner by myself and it was mostly an older crowd and they seriously all seemed to know each other. Everybody was laughing and having a good time. One of the 2 bartenders acted as my waiter and I ordered the fish and chips platter and a Stella Artois. The fish and chips tasted great and I'm not sure why, but their tartar sauce just seemed amazing. It had a certain tang to it. The place felt totally like a dive bar but my meal was delicious. However, the bartender/waiter never checked in on me after dropping off my meal and I didn't see him again until I walked up to the bar so I could pay my bill. The place wasn't that busy and the two bartenders were mostly just standing around talking with each other. My meal was great but having worked as a front of house service manager for many years, I know that dropping off food and then never checking in on me and me having to go to the bar to get my check is just really poor service. He was friendly and affable, though. Also, the fish and chips said one price on the menu but on my actual check it was a few dollars more. I really enjoyed my food but you absolutely have to as a business owner make sure the prices listed are congruent to the final bill pricing. Another small thing, they have a long bar but there are zero chairs or bar stools to sit at the bar. I'm not sure why that is, but maybe they have their reasons. Overall, I would return but would probably bring a friend to keep me company so as to not feel like the odd man out in a place where everybody seems to have known each other for years and years. Also, I wonder if they would sell me a bottle of just their tartar sauce. Pure tangy awesomeness.
Luv this bar, when I am bar hopping. Its always one of the bars I hit up no matter the day
Food was disgusting; not authentic Filipino food, tasted fridge-like, days old. Fun environment. Server didn't approach us at our table during the day. Had to approach the bartender to place the order. When serviced, workers were overall kind and welcoming.

New kitchen staff, menu AND daily specials!I had the green chile beef and cheese enchilada special tonight.$8.95- great value. Thankfully they have reduced their five page Cheesecake Factory menu and now focusing on a smaller more manageable menu.
good food and friendly staff.
VERY nice place to meet people. They have live performances on Thursday night. I had a good time because I don't sing very well but I thought I could get up there and do a song but I didn't put my name in.
The Lumpia is out of this world delicious.
Cool place
amazing atmosphere amazing staff and amazing bartenders what more could you want
