Happy Accidents

I was meeting up with some friends for a post-holiday holiday get together and we decided to try the pop up at Happy Accidents. I hadn't been before so I'll also have to go back when they're not having a special event. That said, I loved the decorations for the event and the cute mugs the drinks came in were just spectacular. The drink menu both for the event and in general was pretty extensive. The server also had some good recommendations for us. I just couldn't resist the drink in the adorable t-rex mug! The food also looked quite tasty though I had just had lunch so wasn't up for anything at the time. I will go back for more food and drink taste testing. If you're in the area definitely stop in!

Happy Accidents *never* lets me down! Tonight was all about delicious drinks and good vibes. We ordered the Kagano Old Fashioned and the Goo Goo for Suzu -- and wow, I'm really hoping they keep that one on the menu because it was *so* good! One of my favorite things about Happy Accidents is that their menu is always evolving, but somehow it just keeps getting better. The creativity behind their drinks is unmatched. The staff is incredibly welcoming and takes the time to explain each cocktail and dish, making the whole experience feel special and personal. If you're looking for a spot that's full of flavor, originality, and heart, this is it. Can't wait to see (and sip) what they come up with next!

We went here based upon a recommendation and I immediately regretted not having done my usual diligence beforehand. I would argue this is not a cocktail bar. Yes, they serve cocktails but 60 drinks on tap eliminates the art of cocktails. Cocktails are a bartenders art. Watching the cocktail be made, no two cocktails are exactly alike. I was turned off by the idea of choosing a drink that would pour from a container through a tap (never mind that most of the ingredients are not commonly understood). 99% of the staff was friendly. Unfortunately the 1% that was not was our bartender. I asked if they made drinks that were not on the list. She responded that if their 60 premade cocktails plus those on the back page were not enough then probably not. I hadn't seen the back page of their online menu so my bad. I ordered a drink from that. It was not good. The steak frites described itself as being cooked to medium rare. I asked if they could cook to a higher temperature (I appreciate not all restaurants want adjustments to their offerings). She explained it was possible but then proceeded to tell me how a more well done hangar steak doesn't fare well, it's not the right temperature for that cut of meat, etc. My significant other is Argentinian. They don't cook their meat medium rare. They cook it well done. I'm well aware of what cooking a hangar steak longer does to the meat. I simply want to know if it's possible. In the end, the steak and chimichurri were good but the fries were overly salted. P.S. I watched a lot of PBS as a kid. I don't understand the connection to Bob Ross and a wall of women's breasts.

I was in the mood for a little treat this afternoon and decided a fun cocktail would be just right. I'd been curious about Happy Accidents and it was close so I stopped in to give it a try. Yes, they check IDs - unlike some reviewers I understand that this is a good thing! It was quiet when I went in and the service was friendly and helpful. The drink I decided on was the Ursula, a sweet lightly fizzy concoction with a lovely purple color. They have a lot of fun cocktail options and a nice selection of mocktails as well. I'd definitely like to try more of their offerings.

Stunning! Gorgeous! Delicious drinks! All the things!I saw this bar on an IG post as one of the venues making special items for the balloon fiesta, and it was on my list of places to visit. This is definitely a more eclectic place than others we visited, but I didn't find it pretentious or uncomfortable.To start, I was IN LOVE with the decor: everything was so luxe and elevated, with textured walls, live plants, dark colors and just... chef's kiss.We were seated at a huge table, and we were just in for cocktails. There is food, but we weren't hungry after a huge lunch. We had a gin and tonic, the Swipe Right (their version of a mai tai), an Espresso Martini, and an Up In the Air (a spicy martini with a cotton candy cloud) as well as some PB& J shots.All the cocktails were incredibly balanced and intentional, and we were left with bottles of water to enjoy our conversations and linger as long as we wanted. I could have spent way more time, but it is added as place to visit when we return to Nob Hill.

Cool spot that is a Christmas themed cocktail bar. The service got off to a slow start but they could have been busy. The drinks are good and the spot is cool. Check them out if you're in the area.

If you like rules and rigidity go here. Staff is rude and pretentious. They want you to be grateful that they are taking the time to serve you. Take a flask to a library. Same experience and a lot cheaper.

Drinks were good, if not a little too expensive for Albuquerque, New Mexico. We only had a couple of drinks, so will need to return & try other options. Also so far I haven't tried the food.They have an very extensive drink/ specialty cocktail menu online, it was hard to make a first-tine here choice; especially since many of the drinks listed ingredients we'd never heard of before today. Both my companion and I have been around the sun a few trips, but we were still surprised at how many ingredients were completely unknown to each of us. A little research needs to be conducted before I return. Also, I will sit at the bar next time and get some insight from the bartender. I was a little disappointed in the decor/ ambience/ colors choices. I think they were going for a youthful, cleancut & modern look. Mostly I got cheap. Decorating on a strict budget. Tables were mostly constructed of cinder blocks. Fabrics were miss-matched. L believe someone attempted to make the color scheme shades of blue, but somehow the two shocking pink chairs upfront with scratched paint didn't quite fall into the "blue" scheme.Happy Accidents has potential, but it definitely needs attention if it's going to survive in this crowded commercial atmosphere.

Happy Accidents is a place you can not only get some of best drinks in the city, it's a vibe! Come enjoy the drinks, eats and chill environment!

The staff is amazing. Friendly and willing team take the time to discuss the different drink flavor profiles. The drinks are great as well. The gin and tonic is amazing go-to drink. If you haven't been lately give it a try again.
