Please do the community a favor and fire the bartender that works in the corner that has a beard and wears a black hat and a black hoodie dude has the worst customer service I've ever endured in my life has happened to me on four occasions and last night I saw him doing the same stuff to other people being sarcastic and with his quick quips like he's funny. Don't work in the customer service industry if you don't have customer service stop being entitled because you have a alcohol server's license you're not special.
Very nice entertainment amd bar downtown Albuquerque pinball machines and music. Very good food reasonable price. Expect plenty of crowd mixed younger and older , gets a bit warm in there but what you expect from popular place . It's a must see and a night to remember.
First time here and it was crowded. But I walked in during a PinBall tournament. Who knew. Very cool place staff were really great. Ordered hamburger that came with fries and a beer or root beer for 11.00 dollars. Opted for the root beer . Was really happy with it. I will be going back. Maybe play pinball next time.
apparently by state law, we had to show physical ID in order to get in. They did not accept a digital one. so heads-up before you go. luckily our hotel was very close so we got our id's and returned (we were supposed to meet friends that were already there). it took about 20 min to the bartender to take our order. the place itself is nice, good atmosphere, kind people. you need 4 quarters (1$) to have 3 balls to play, so keep a change with u.
Full disclosure, we didn't eat, we did however have drinks and explore the property... if you enjoy eclectic locations you will LOVE, Sister! With 10+ pinball machines, an old photo booth and various other old timey vending machines this place has a "shot back in time" feel. While at the same time it's cozy and relaxing, smooth jazz plays over the sound system too. The bartender really knows his stuff, a lil snarky but in a fun way. All in all if you are looking for a truly unique place to grab a drink, learn some history and kick back Sister bar is the place for you. Oh and they have live music in the back in the evenings!!
