Hello there peeps.
I’m going to be passing through ABQ on Sept 21st and need recommendations on a safe & secure area to stay in. I don’t know ABQ at all and I’m trying to avoid any issues.
Likewise, I’ll be looking for a good place for dinner, drinks, and adult entertainment and company.
Feel free to PM me.

The hotels off Eubank aren't the best, neither anything at Tramway/Central or Coors/40.

Best bet is by the airport or a little north of 40/25, near Jefferson to Alameda.

Restaurants along 25 near Jefferson are good. What are you looking for in that aspect though? Our brewery scene is top-notch, I'd put it against any in the country (even if I didn't live here).

Thanks for the response spencer. The Jefferson/Alameda area sounds good. Food and drink wise, I’m all into the patio/bar scene. Craft brews are good as well.
Hopefully everything is all close to one another. I’ll be driving in from Dallas so I will probably be wore out. I know I can muster the energy if I can find a lovely lady to spend a little time with.

Bars are still closed here, so you'll need to go to a restaurant with a decent bar or a brewery.

Bubbas has a good sized "patio" now due to covid (tents outside). Lots of places did that to get some business when we were patio only for a while.

Pappadeaux's patio/bar area is good. Pretty much all the ones by there are decent enough.

Craft nation on Jefferson has large outdoor area too and steelbenders close by

Marble Brewery... Maybe El Patron?

Any recommendations for when one has decided to stop drinking?

Ordering water at the pub, just seems wrong....

Some of them brew their own sodas and root beer and they are BOMB!

Rio Bravo does a root beer I know for sure.

Turtle Mountain sometimes has a root beer and/or cream soda. Both amazing.

I'd seek something like that out if I were you.

Il Vicino does a kick ass root beer as well..
