The Bitter Nun is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an elevated, intimate cocktail experience. Perched in the mezzanine above Ex Novo Brewing, this spot feels like a secret hideaway with a “big city” energy that’s still uniquely New Mexican.

The real showstopper at The Bitter Nun is their specialty cocktail list, which perfectly balances classic techniques with bold, inventive flavors.

If you want the definitive Bitter Nun experience, you have to order the John Herman. It’s a masterclass in balance. Vibrant, sophisticated, and exactly what you want in a signature drink. The service only makes it better; the bartenders speak passionately about the ingredients and ensure every glass is garnished to perfection. Between the high-end craft of the John Herman and the seamless, friendly hospitality, it’s easily the best cocktail seat in downtown Albuquerque.

My friends and I had a fantastic experience at The Bitter Nun in downtown Albuquerque. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and relaxed, and the food and drinks were spot-on. A special shout-out to Beth, whose outstanding service and genuine friendliness made the evening even better. She was attentive, welcoming, and clearly cares about creating a great experience. I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

Harp is an amazing server, bartender and person. She lights a room and made us feel so special. Eric was friendly as he introduced himself. Felicia greeted us at the door with the kindest smile. Danny was knowledgeable and was willing to help me figure out what I wanted.

Ambiance is fun, chill. Server was ok, she was not educated in a gluten-free diet.

Anthony took care of our birthday table on 11/15/25 and was absolutely incredible. He was enthusiastic about being of service, knowledgeable about all the food and drink, and made us feel like we were a VIP table. He listened to our questions and preferences, and offered appropriate guidance. He is the type of server that should be teaching classes on hospitality. He was truly an ideal server and (while the drinks were amazing) we will absolutely be back because of his impeccable service.

Great craft cocktails, bartender and space. The menu has changed over time and is now disappointing. The lack of Gluten Free options caused us to have one drink and leave.
