A very pleasant Sunday lunch experience! My wife and her father have an early lunch most Sundays, seeing that Spectators opened at 11:30 on a Sunday morning was good news! The atmosphere was very chill, a few tables were occupied and the wait staff was friendly. Service was quick and the beer was cold! I selected the half rack ribs. Very nice! Meat was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious, sweet and savory. Sides were also good, crunchy onion rings and succulent cole slaw. My wife had a very tasty Frito pie and her father, a cup of creamy green chili chicken soup which they reported as very good. The atmosphere was very pleasant for dining, good music and an attentive server. A great choice for an early Sunday lunch!
my cross country running group (Albuquerque Hash House Harriers) used this place as a beer stop on a run. Staff were friendly, place was clean, bathrooms well maintained. We all congregated outside in the fenced in area (see pictures), good place for a bunch of sweaty people. Beers were of quality with many to choose from. Food looked good, I know for sure the nachos were outstanding. Lots of TVs for your sports day/night. Stop in tell them their Hasher friends sent you. One of those bars that after going for awhile everyone will know your name
The bartenders were prompt and friendly. The French dip sandwich and fries were excellent. However, it seems like the patrons were quite drunk and being over served for it only being 9 pm
This is a very nice corner sports bar.I had a sweet and spicy chicken sandwich with few drinks. The food was really good and drinks are reasonably priced. Elena and Lia are always helpful from the bar , smiling and calling your name as soon as you enter ! In general, it is a hidden gem in Albuquerque that you should try. Fridays afternoon, may be very crowded with locals that new customers may not be able to find a seat or get a service ( believe me! it is packed all the way), but other times, all goes smoothly.
I took my dad here for NFL Sunday and it didn't disappoint! We hadn't been here in over a decade and it was great to be back. The TVs are plentiful and the sound is great. The service, food and drinks are on point! I haven't had wings this good in a long time.
Still one of the best places to hang and catch your favorite games.4 Beer. Food was delish! Loved the Fried Ice Cream too. Service impeccable! Will be back!
The best boneless wings in town! They're like mini chicken tenders. I recommend the habanero ranch dry rub. We've also had the sliders & the green Chile chicken soup. Everything has been good so far!
Spectators is definitely the 'Cheers' of our generation. It really can become the place where everybody knows your name. Exquisite food, the wings are my family's favorite, the creamy green chile chicken enchiladas with an egg and carne adovada egg rolls are my personal favorites. It is a perfect place to watch your favorite team play, especially the Lobo Basketball games. The rotating food and drink specials are always spectacular. The chefs put attention into the flavor of every dish ordered. Service is always friendly. Weekday happy hour is fun and a great place to unwind after a work day. I love playing the Buzztime Trivia anytime I go in. Karaoke nights are fun and energetic.
