Fun Places for Cocktails and Dancing in Albuquerque

Cocktails and Dancing

IMBIBE

Imbibe is a café with a sort of European vibe by day and disco by night. The best part is dancing on the rooftop when the sun goes down. If you are into cigars, this is your place.

THE Q BAR

Located at the Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town. This is the place I usually go out for drinks when friends visit from out of town. The place has a sophisticated atmosphere with a piano lounge, good food and drinks and comfortable seating. I have hosted a few small gatherings here and often go for drinks during the weekend.

THE COOPERAGE

Go for the steak and stay for the dancing! Read other reviews about the Cooperage.

ONE UP

This place has a great view, convenient parking, great music, food, and cocktails. If you love tapas, this is the place for you! Come to drink, eat, or dance and enjoy the view! You can even use this place for your next event. They can accomodate a small group to 450 people!
