The Copper Lounge

Stopped in for a night cap and was surprised by the attention and craftsmanship to the cocktails. A huge selection of spirits to choose from and bartenders did a good job of mixology and pairing of flavors . If your palette is open to variety of notes and flavor try looking at the list for creative blends. If you want a simple beer or other still good selections to choose from . A good place for a first date or even date night with the spouse for good cocktails. Being emphasis on drinks was reluctant to try food choices but the birrhia tacos were on point . Price point for drinks is what you expect for a craft cocktail and not a random watering hole . Enjoy what you drink and find one that fits for you . Will stop.in for a few more on my next visit .cheers

Wow. This place rocks! I was in town for a couple months for a project and ALWAYS ended up at The Copper Lounge. The drinks are DELICIOUS!! Every single time. Great food as well. What really makes this place special is the staff!!!! They are kind and efficient. I went in one night after a rough work day and immediately was greeted by one of my favs who noticed I seemed off and she was so kind to bring over my favorite drink (indian army) (be sure to try it) without me even asking and she just really brightened my day. If you’re in a party mood be sure to go next door to Conejos. Same owner. Totally different vibe. So. Much. Fun! I am sure I’ll be back at The Copper Lounge next time I’m in Albuquerque.

Rarely do I enjoy every single thing I order at a restaurant/bar, but Copper Lounge proved me SO wrong for that. Every cocktail I had was complex and delicious. And the food… maybe it was just my thirst for good Mexican food being quenched since I was visiting from NYC, but those were some of the best tacos I’ve had in a LONG time. One of the best parts though was the staff, everyone there was so welcoming, and the girl who helped us at the bar (Milly, I think?) was both courteous and HILARIOUS. Truly made me and my friends’ night. Come here if you want a fun vibe, delicious drinks and fire tacos.

If you're looking for a nice romantic quiet atmosphere this is the place. Great for a first date or just to sip & chill. The service is excellent and friendly, expertise is cocktails. I have not tried their food but will soon. Right next door is a more lively vibe with great music. This place is my first choice before anywhere else.

Way too LOUD and way too EXPENSIVE. Take your earplugs and prepare to sit in silence, you won't be able to talk to your friends. The walls were vibrating they had the music up so loud. You guaranteed will take on irreversible hearing loss. This is not something to mess around with, your hearing doesn't heal, it's damage for life. If the blaring speakers hurt your ears, you are taking on permanent hearing loss. This overly expensive place is NOT worth it. Go somewhere where you can actually talk to and hear your friends. Find a place where you can get a cocktail that is not a skinny glass, filled heaping with ice, and only about 1/8 a cup of liquid, that you have to pay $16 or more dollars for. PLUS an automatic 20% tip on your check, even just for 2 people! If you feel the tip should be different, you will have to "make a scene" to get it removed, which no one wants to do when they are trying to have a nice night out, and that's exactly why Copper does it. Tips are supposed to be optional and up to the customer to judge based on the service!

Amazing cocktails. Very creative menu. Nothing is batched. The Kentucky ninja was my favorite along with the mika that has sparkling sake in there. The atmosphere is super classy and polished. Quite impressed considering I walked passed 6 homeless people and someone smoking meth while on my way to from the Andaluz hotel. Def take an Uber/lyft to come here!

The Copper Lounge: Stylish cocktail bar with a cozy, upscale vibe. Creative drinks, attentive bartenders, and a great spot for a night out or date. Prices are on the higher side but worth it for the quality. 66 Diner: Classic retro diner with tasty comfort food, friendly service, and good portions. Busy at times. Great for casual, late-night meals. Solid choice!
