Sandia Bar

WOW! The New Sandia Bar is Absolutely Gorgeous The remodel of the Sandia Bar is beyond stunning! I wasn't around for the original, but what they've done with the space is nothing short of beautiful. The cozy fireplaces, pool tables, and rooftop hangout make it a spot that's hard to leave. It's officially our new Sunday go-to! I'm especially excited for the kitchen to open once the back building remodel is complete -- I can only imagine how good it'll be. I do love the food truck option and other restaurants that are available. On top of all that, the customer service is phenomenal. Friendly faces, great vibes, and an incredible atmosphere -- what more could you ask for? Can't wait to come back!

I was hopeful that this could be a new GOOD hangout spot. The construction came out great and the decor is contemporary Corrales. I had really hoped for a better experience.We arrived late one evening because the hours posted said they were open til 11pm on weekdays. It was very close to 10:30 when we walked in. The one server standing talking to other guests at the bar looked at us but didn't acknowledge us or say anything. We walked around and checked out the whole place where another employee was cleaning. She didn't say anything to us either so we went outside and sat at a table. The owners or managers were sitting at a high top table in front of the bar going over paperwork but didn't acknowledge us either as we walked by. So we waited a while longer before going up and standing in front of the bar for a couple of awkward minutes.Finally, we asked the bartender if we could get a drink or glass of wine to which we were told they had last call at 10:30. Nothing else was said so we left.The first and maybe last visit left a bad taste in my and my out of town friend's mouth. Especially considering there are so many other nice places to hang out in Corrales now.

The owners were very friendly. I would say they have the best outdoor space around and the seating is comfortably placed so you don't feel crammed. Nice fireplaces throughout and they currently are inviting food trucks but will soon have their own kitchen. Light music should start in March outdoors. Overall nice vibe!

On a beautiful day I stumbled upon this beautiful place. I couldn't resist trying it out and called my husband to join me. The bartender makes a great Manhattan cocktail and I am convinced she can make other delicious drinks but that's my go to. This place has been recently remodeled and they did a fantastic job. They also have an outdoor downstairs and upstairs patio with a great view of the Sandia Mountains. I can't wait to come back with friends!!

Well, I went back so I guess it isn't horrible. They are trying. It's not the bar it's the people. Corrales has a chip on its shoulder. Wants to be so trendy. Wow a place you can park your horse! Whiskey Society private event! Sorry, it's still just a dinky, dusty, Fanta Se wanna be. Too many people with too much money, trust fund burnouts and angry locals getting pushed out. Interesting, but kind of like having dinner at your pretentious sister-in-laws house. You don't fit and you're not necessarily welcome. The people. Not the bar.

I originally reviewed Sandia Bar, or so I thought. Love this place! The drinks are outstanding, a variety of beers and the service with a smile is perfect. It's a great place to relax after a long day or the perfect place to get your afternoon started. Looking forward to cooler weather so I can sit on the rooftop and watch the leaves change.

New renovated and tastefully decorated! We were in the Corrales area and decided to drop in. They recently reopened so food was not available. They have a beautiful patio space outside and inside has many areas to hang out and gather with a friends. There are two pool tables and the light fixtures are unique throughout the bar. The owner came to our table and introduced himself. He is very excited for the opening and it has been well received by the community. I ordered a Bloody Mary and my husband had a craft beer. It is a full bar and for now, you can bring your own food in. There is a Village Pizza conveniently located across the street. Perfect food to pair with a cold one. We plan to drop in again sometime.

Super cute remodel to the dive bar it once was! Definitely will be back every time I return to NM!

Love this place! Great customer service drinks and ambiance are wonderful. See a lot of friends and neighbors there!

We live in Corrales and have watched this place take almost two years to complete. The decor is really nice but I must say I appreciated what one review said and that is "it would be nice if it could have flattered our lovely countryside with more of and NM aesthetic then modern/industrial LA." It's not quite that but I agree and don't want to continue to see Corrales loose it's integrity and charm. Regardless, we waited a long time like 45 minutes for one beer and there wasn't food or a food truck so we left . I wish the newer facilities that have recently opened here in Corrales were more prepared before they open!!
