Downtown

Downtown Albuquerque has become one of the city's real craft-beverage hubs - BarFinder's 57 listed venues here are led by breweries, not bars, with fifteen showing up including Ex Novo Brewing Company and Marble Brewery, plus four distilleries like Downtown Distillery. Cocktail spots such as DWTNR (Downtowner) Cocktail Bar & Lounge and Apothecary Lounge add some polish to a scene that's grown considerably as Albuquerque's downtown core has filled back in over the past decade. It's less about a single famous strip than a dense, genuinely varied collection of spots within walking distance of each other.
