Z Lounge

Super cool spot! Perfect for a rendezvous! Great drinks. The bartender was excellent and the drinks were made quickly and tasted amazing. The vibe was lesbian speakeasy. So if that's you go for it!

Very helpful wait staff. Comfy room with excellent music. My cocktail was delicious, but my wine wasn't special. Good vibes all around.

I really bummed about this place. I wanted to like it so much. We decided to come here on a whim. I didn't read any reviews. So I didn't realize this was a speakeasy type place. It had a whole fake wall and everything. It was so cool! The ambiance is definitely there. I didn't see if they had any food but their drinks were just disappointing. When they came out they were very cute and I was very excited to try them. However, this is where everything kind of went downhill and fast. Everything tasted like lime. I got a Paloma and it tasted like lime. My friend got a mojito and it's just lime. I thought maybe it was just a fluke so I ordered a Manhattan and what do you know? Lime. After that we just paid and left.

This is a brand new speakeasy bar located in Nob hill inside the hotel Zazz. I came here one night with friends not knowing what to expect. You enter through the hotel lobby to find a secret door that leads to the magic. Entering through the door you are greeted with stunning 70's hip interior and the vibe was giving hipster house party. My friend and I were immediately greeted with shots from a guy that had bought a round for the entire place. The bar owner then came up to introduce himself and went on to tell us this bar barely opened 2 weeks ago!We had a few drinks, one of them called the "princess" and another called the "coffee break." These drinks were not only some of the best I've had in Albuquerque but they were very reasonably priced. The bartenders were constantly checking up asking if water was needed or if we wanted more drinks which I appreciated. Overall, I think this is one of the coolest bars I've been to in Albuquerque and the drinks were on point. The interior, music and vibe all together was something that I haven't seen in this city before. We definitely need more bars like this one. I will definitely be back!

I cannot wait to come back to this place in the summer. The drinks were on point, the ambiance was legit with Wutang playing when we got there, dope lighting, and the experience of the arrival is unique. Hint: tap the banana three times. They also host events & concerts. Speakeasy found through their hotel lobby & they have a pool. *selfie opportunity in the restroom mirror. Restroom very clean.

This place is ok, but definitely a little pretentious for what it is. Since this used to be one of the worst hotel properties downtown, it makes me laugh how they painted it brightly to try to distract from the general decay of the downtown/nob hill area.The bar is ok, there's a dumb pretense of it being a speak easy, so you have to tap a stupid banana 3 times to get in. Whatever.Inside it feels like a simulacrum of a hipster's idea of a "funky" 70's vibe, but it just feels like a try-hard. The bartender was snotty and just slightly not-rude. The drinks were ok, nothing special except for the sort of pricey total. There are plenty of cooler places to get middling service and a decent enough cocktail in ABQ. Overall, I wouldn't go back. I feel back for the out-of-towners who are suckered into thinking this is a cool, hip spot in a nice downtown area .

Dropped by to see what this was about, visited the front desk and got the instructions to get in.. they were welcoming, very subdued lighting, i wound up getting one of the cocktails as virgin, but my friend got a tasty fruity one. we had a great little chat and then wandered on our way. fun spot. will post some photos of the menus, after i adjust for the red lighting.

Great ambiance! Loved that you had to touch the banana to get through the hidden front door. And had to leave through a back door. We sat in the back room, past the beaded curtain, which was nice and quiet, so we could actually talk. The drinks and service were good, too. Definitely my new favorite lounge in town!

This is the type of cocktail spot Albuquerque is needing! Super cute speakeasy with great vibe, service, and cocktails! I will definitely be going back soon!

Went to have morning coffee latte in a wonderful setting. Cute and artsy place. Very friendly
