Brixens in Albuquerque, NM
This unique and trendy locally-owned 2-year-old restaurant-bar is nestled in downtown Albuquerque's historic 1909 Yrisarri building, which adds charm to this cozy and inviting place. Tanya (owner & chef) and her restaurant were recently featured in Albuquerque The Magazine's November 2019 issue. They have awesome staff, really delicious and unique eats (my absolute fave is their NM Wafflini), tasty craft cocktails, a selection of different wines from around the world, a 99 bottled beer selection, and a very clean, relaxing, inviting atmosphere. A cooler is hidden in the middle of the wood table for your beers, and a tablet replaces a basic paper menu. They also have entertaining games to take to your table to play.
