    Fun sign for a funny place

    Located in a beautifully renovated Downtown building, the Gorilla Tango Comedy Theater consists of 16 comedian/actors who perform Chicago style improve much like that seen on TV's "Whose Line is it Anyway?" A member of the audience shouts out a theme or phrase and the talented performers go to work bringing it to hilarious life off the tops of their heads. Most shows are suitable for older kids and teens as the humor is based more on smart comedy than shock or obscenities. For something really different check out the Gorilla Tango Comedy Theater.

    Downtown: When pool is cool...

  • This was probably one of the coolest pool hall/bar to hang out in downtown ABQ. Hipsters, jocks and hippies unite...where we can all hang out together and still have a great time. You literally do find a totally different array of people here, all just chillin and having a grand ol time. The music is always good and the jukebox has plenty more to offer when you're bored of the guy with the suspenders constantly playing the 'mighty mighty bosstones'. Decent array of drinks/beers and although you might have to wait for a table (red felt for a classier look) its well worth it because the atmosphere and people are all good.

    There is no dress code here...just ask the guy in the mickey mouse outfit greeting everyone outside.

  • Theme: Nightclub
  • Address: Central Ave...right smack downtown
  • Directions: Its crammed in between all the other bars downtown, its on a second floor so look for the sign and follow the steps up.

    O wow! How can I describe it? I've never been into country music or been to place where they played old serenading songs. At 1st glance, it didn't like the place because I felt I am too young for that place (i'm 26 anyway). but as soon as the live band played the music, it's good. and i didn't feel like going back to the hotel but stay there all night. drink options are good though i just took margarita (1st time!) and also the food. see my face, how happy i was (wearing brown jacket)

    no slippers

    Downtown: Downtown summer nights

  • This area of Albuquerque (Downtown) is the best place to be on a Friday or Saturday night during the summer months. Sit on Maloney's patio and you'll be able to see most of what's happening on the 4th Street Mall. There are about 6 or 7 decent bars within blocks of each other. On a weekend night, expect to see hundreds busily jay-walking across Central. Also, security is very assuring; the Abq. Police Department has about 6 officers on horses at 4th and Central along with a mobile drunk tank for all the idiots! This section of Central is mostly a college hangout but has great opportunities for people-watching!

    O-PM is the only bar/club that thinks that Albuquerque is a world-class destination for club-goers. They wouldn't let me or my friend in on our birthday because we were wearing white shoes. Avoid this place altogether-bunch of snobs! The doorman sarcastically told me that I could borrow his size 12's...I told him that I wear a 13! Albuquerque will always be a relaxed, casual dress type of place and O-PM needs to realize that. Oh yeah, it's one of the only places that charges a cover, too.

  • DON'T EVER GO TO THE COLLESEUM. It's the worst spot ever. I like hip hop but this place played the same played out song 4 times. And other songs I've never heard. It's the only place 18 and over so I went. It was terrble. I went back with a friend on a Friday and it was empty. And the *** at the door still charged me even though the place wasn't open. My friend tried to get here money back but they were such assholes. I later went down the street to a place called RAW. It was really great. They had dancers, good music, and a nice clean place. Colleseum was tacky, dirty, and *** music.

    At Colleseum a hobo could walk in and dance but everywhere else you have to look decent.
