Experience the Top Rooftop Bars in Albuquerque
Sipping on a refreshing cocktail at a rooftop bar is a picturesque end to a summer day in Albuquerque. Check out a round-up of the top rooftop bars that are sure to serve up spectacular views along with delicious drinks.
Located on the roof of Hotel Parq Central, Apothecary Lounge offers stunning views of the Sandia Mountains to the east and Downtown Albuquerque to the west. The Lounge specializes in Prohibition-era classic cocktails. If that’s not your style, try one of their many flavored bitters – including Aztec chocolate and rhubarb – to take your drink to another level. Sample some of their small plates while you’re there too.
Where to Listen to Live Music This Summer
Summer means that musicians and bands are heading out on tour. From up-and-coming performers to well-known bands, you’re going to want to attend a concert in Albuquerque this summer.
Two of the best places to enjoy music in an outdoor venue are the ABQ BioPark Zoo and ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden. Zoo Music takes place throughout the summer on Friday evenings at the zoo. Catch nationally touring bands like Clay Street Unit, Paul McDonald & the Mourning Doves and Blair Crimmins & The Hookers. Garden Music happens on Thursdays during the summer at the botanic garden, and features local bands like Reviva, Tracey Whitney, Calle 66 and Chris Dracup.
