Love the owners for their active efforts in the community. They have consistenly surprised and awed crowds for fun shows and incredible fundraisers to benefit the local community. Having participated in several drag shows for fundraisers i can say personally, this venue and restaurant brings nothing less than phenomenal love and care to the LGBTQ+ community. The best part is the food is traditional recipe Phillipino/American flavor. As New Mexicos Premier Mens Rugby Sports club, the New Mexico Brujos Rugby Football Club formally thank Sidewinders Ranch for all they do.

Just moved here. I feel like this bar was very underrated by locals, decent prices and friendly people. We come often now for drinks and gear night. There are many rooms like the dancing floor and karaoke room, they turn the karaoke room into The ABQ Eagle which is very nice. Their restrooms are also very large and decently clean for it being a busy bar. They also have a leather store open on the weekends here, items are made locally. Very cool bar.

An albuquerque institution, and one of its final true “LGBTQIA” friendly establishments here in the southwest, “Sides” is locally owned by two wonderful men whose philanthropic work throughout our community have made them both integral to our cities character and spirit! What would we do without Renee and Michael??Sometimes folks go to a bar like Sides with expectations that aren’t fair, then they leave nasty comments and reviews; please know that their hurt does not adequately represent what you will experience if you visit... sides is a great place, I have a great time when I go there, and I adore the gentlemen that own this place.The customers are sexy, and the folks that work there are hotties too!

Ive been coming here for almost 10 years. The atmosphere is always friendly and the service consistently goes above and beyond. Since moving to their new location, they have branched out into food and let me tell you! Every item Ive eaten gives that home-cooked goodness without exorbitant prices. My recommendation, stop by for a drink, one of their many productions or just a bite to eat. You will not be sorry!

Michael and Renee are a wonderful team ️. They are making improvements to the the place all the time. We enjoy hanging out with Toby, our favorite bartender and karaoke on Tuesday nights.

The owners are dolls. They are great for support. Give equal opportunity for talent shows. Host outrageous nights. Yeah its not a club but its better than just a bar. This is my favorite place to frequent when I am in the area!

So it is now 6 pm, not a large crowd. There are 4 tables on the patio that have customers. I would hate to see how this waiter would actually do in a place that was busy. For the record not all the tables were eating. The waiter comes on the patio only if he has a mission and never looks anywhere (to any other tables) than the one he is going to. In the two hours I have been here, he came to my table on his own twice. He had to be called over for anything else. He would have a bad time at Denny’s where you have enough tables to keep you busy. They need new wait staff or he need to rethink how he does his service. HOLD THE PHONE. To be fair to him, ALL THE TABLES on the inside are full of customers. So, it’s not him. Their should be more wait staff. That is a MANAGEMENT ISSUE. To the server I apologize. However checking on your customers holds true.

Awesome and inclusive place to hang out, and the owners do SO much for local charities. Amazing community involvement, and always something different going on! I love this place !

Havent been by for food yet, but I have enjoyed every visit. Relaxed atmosphere and never felt out of place.

Great new location. Great staff, and great prices for Nob Hill. The outdoor patio is great to sit and chat with friends, grabbing a bite to eat, or having something refreshing to drink.

Food was great and cant wait for the drag shows and live performances to start! The staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating!

Love The People Who All Work There .. The Owners Are Sweethearts.. The Drinks are AMAZING!!! Food Is Wonderful!!!!

Amazing place! Great community, and the owners are very nice!!

Their food is made fresh daily fried mushrooms are devein salsa omg everything yummy came for taco Tuesday

Yummy food. Strong drinks. Friendly staff.

A great place to eat and drink in a gay friendly atmosphere.

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, plus karaoke!!! LGBQT+ friendly space.

Great bar, very awesome atmosphere and great employees.

This place is so slow we jad to sit for fifteen min before i had to go hunt dwn a server and after we ordered our drinks another 15 min nd there is still no site of this guy ummm hello im hungry nd want a beer

Definitely an interesting bar, with interesting entertainment. Had some good laughs. Good drinks, and affordable. Overall a good experience. A little hard as a new person to get drinks, kinda wait a long time. Other then that it was a good time.

Great people and great bar.

This is a fun and diverse establishment serving those in East Albuquerque. One day, you can be attending a burlesque-type show, the next it becomes the city country western bar, the the day after that it could drag entertainers putting on fun shows, Leathermen in gear at their inner side bar known as the ‘Albuquerque Eagle’ or a host of other things. The owners are known for doing a lot of fundraising and community involvement so I definitely recommend checking it out!

Havent been here in a few years due to bad service, thought I would check it out since I had a free night. If anything has changed its for the worse, paid $10 to go into an empty bar, then waited ten minutes for one of the 3 people behind the bar to acknowledge me. After I finally got a beer, the bartender tried to take my change, thinking it was a tip. I was around when this place was packed 24/7, bartenders were hot and friendly. Sadly, not the same place. Dont waste your time or money, Its not worth it.

Their burlesque show is the best that I ever watched.

This place is great! I come here every Tuesday and I absolutely enjoy it! The bartender is amazingly sweet and he makes the best drinks! Definitely deserves the 5-star rating I gave it.

Very welcoming and kind! Strong pours and great kareoke make this an awesome spot in ABQ!

Just so you know, its a gay bar. Nobody told me. Best night of my life.

I love the laid back atmosphere and it doesnt hurt that the bartenders are cute! I like that I can have a conversation with my friends here without having to scream over the music.

First drink was weak. Next couple were right on par. Enjoyed the bartenders! Great quick service. Thanks for such a good safe night!

I done drag show over 30 years Im The Original The Infamous Miss Felisha Marie Starr

Cooperative management, fun shows, and a great sense of community!

Bartender not friendly to strangers. Sad because this is a gay bar. Maybe friendly to the bar files. Not to me. Tuesday night looks like its on life support.

54 years old and they wouldnt serve me because I didnt have a picture ID. Use a little common sense! Place smelled like piss and despair anyway.

Hello, been there for ladies night so they call it went to meet a couple of friends for drinks the crowd there as become so much different...the drag queens in this bar are not like the ones in good old days? what happened? why are people so negative towards one another here? and all it has turned into is a sex club...i dont think this is the road to go down anymore i am sorry...i was interested in becoming a new manager but with the building and the crowd i am now no longer interested i wish you all the best.

WACK! Didnt feel like i was at a gay bar/club. Dead and corny.

Just a fun place, friendly bartenders and good selection of drinks. My brothers band played last night for the 25th anniversary, it rocked. Great place to people watch! ;)

What a disappointment. This place is not what I expected. Staff is rude and clickish among paying patrons. A lot of drag queen and fem drama. Sorry but I just cannot endorse a nose dive joint like this. Did not appreciate the manor or attitude in which my husband and I were treated. You are better off at one of the other gay bars if you are looking for a safe and friendly establishment to have drinks and meet friendly people.

A large night club with pool tables the dance floor area and stage are very large with great line of sight elevated seating. I cant add the last star because I havent seen a show there yet.

The bar is super dead and I’ve never worked so hard to get a drink in a dead bar.

Amazing shows, great drinks, and beyond wonderful staff! Love this place!

Always a great place to drink and great bartenders:)

My son goes here all the time but people mess with him dont like that...he works hard and I love him!!

Good bar owners work hard to provide a variety of entertainment

Nice and quiet if the weather is a bit less than perfect, friendly, but a bit on the older side for the locals, best to swing by on a special night (holiday, gear night, or event)

Fun club, good people, awesome drink specials, just an all around great place to hang out regardless of your sexual orientation

Only been once . Some fashion show going on. Was a bit rudimentary but seemed like a fun divey type place

Loved the music/vibes. great selection of brews

This Place was gross i didnt travel far just to see messy people and bad attitudes DONT EVER INVITE ME HERE AGAIN!!

Thank you for your continued support by having commission shows honoring the leader of your legion you truly are a great inspiration not just to myself but all Humanity for all things to be considered and thank you for your nomination

Fun friendly atmosphere, great drink specials, FABULOUS shows!! this place holds its own in the community...a few bad apples but we dont fall far from the tree ;-)

Love this place. Best bartenders ever. Go on a sunday, youll love it

Friendly staff. Lively atmosphere.

Very comfortable for the lgbtq family

Horrible place...bad energy. I was beat up by ABQ cops outside this bar.

Sunday drag shows are awesome

Tragic.

Cute bartender

Openness, real diversity, acceptance.

Tragic at times
