Vintage 423

Albuquerque

911 recensies

High-backed booths in gorgeous upholstery create the illusion of privacy at this steakhouse just off the Paseo del Norte. Why does a steakhouse make it onto our “Best Bars in Albuquerque” list? Because of sublime drinks like the shockingly pink Aston Martin, the McLaren Manhattan with bourbon and vermouth, or the Love Potion- a symphony in apple. Food is just as superb, with USDA Prime meat always on the menu and other options including salads, charcuterie, and a shareable seafood tower. Opulent and welcoming, for a quick afternoon cocktail and sandwich or a leisurely dinner.

As the term Bistro suggests, there’s a good dollop of French influence on the menu at Zinc. Onion soup, duck confit eggrolls, and Manhattan steak frites are all on offer on the dinner menu. The Cellar Bar downstairs is where the serious wine fans need to head. Small plates are lovingly paired with top-quality reds and whites, and there’s a range of signature cocktails taking inventiveness to new levels. Try the Gin Basil Smash, and ask about their vegan cocktails.

Tapas y vin: literally, small plates and wine. The perfect combo for sharing, either on a date or with a big group of friends. MÁS resides in the upscale Hotel Andaluz, and very much continues the Spanish theme that the hotel’s name suggests. Plates include tender garlic shrimp, bone marrow with Padron peppers, and Iberico ribs with barbecued corn. Diners can find an intimate spot to enjoy a wine from their extensive list, or indulge in a rich port or sherry. A true taste of Spain.

Blades' Bistro

Placitas

Placitas is a beautiful village way out north from Albuquerque. It’s always developing and evolving, so it makes sense that Blades’ Bistro should spring from the ashes of a dark and gloomy pub building, transforming it into an intimate and welcoming dining space. Small plates include beets with rich balsamic vinegar and pan-seared crab cakes. Bistro favorites range from Boeuf Bourguignon to an award-winning Con Frutti de Mare. The bar offers wine tasting to allow diners confidence in their final choice from the extensive list. Sophisticated yet with the warm feel of a neighborhood joint.

Vernon's Speakeasy

Steak

Albuquerque

4.7

4463 recensies

A hidden gem that’s, well, not so well hidden anymore. This Speakeasy really dedicates itself to its theme, with a nearly hidden entranceway and blacked-out windows to keep prying eyes away. A live pianist tinkles the ivories while diners enjoy succulent steak, crab cakes, and creations from one of the best bars in Albuquerque The Dillinger takes gin and elderflower and makes it sour, their basil julep uses house-made syrup, and there’s a Manhattan with a hit of cilantro. Prohibition just got classy.
