Service is amazing Elena is awesome. We always have so much fun when we go. Food is typical bar food and is good with a reasonably priced menu.
The only complaint I would have is once karaoke starts in Saturdays you can’t hear yourself think so we usually leave once it starts. We love karaoke and would love to stay and sing but its just so loud.

Leah was a really welcoming bartender! Im new to ABQ, work in a restaurant, don’t know a lot of people. She immediately recognized that I work in the industry too. There were so many regulars who were there obviously for her, nice guys, it was a good crowd. Anyway, great bar, highly recommend especially if you like pool or nice staff.

A great neighborhood bar that makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in! I went in on a Saturday for football and was greeted by the bartender named, Smiley. She was super nice, fast with drinks, and somehow always knows when your aluminum bottle beer is almost empty. She was on top of refilling my water and even suggested the carne egg rolls which were a 10/10! Great bartender with a Great vibe! I’ll definitely be back!

Audrey is hands down one of the best bartenders/servers around. She remembers your order, treats everyone with kindness, and somehow manages to make the whole bar feel comfortable. Drinks are always perfect, her energy is always on point, and she genuinely cares about the people she serves. You can’t ask for better. Audrey is a whole vibe.

As soon as we walked in instead of being greeted we were told we were not going to be served by the owner. We’ve been going there for 25 years and we were laughing as we walked in. The owner then rudely told us that we would not be served any drinks and walked away. She was very confrontational and rude. Unfortunately they just lost long-term customers I will no longer be going to spectators. The new ownership seems to be affecting Spectators in a negative way. We went to horse and angel after being turned away at spectators and they mentioned that many customers have been coming in complaining about the customer service at spectators. The new manager is so rude and disrespectful and unprofessional, sadly we will never return. If you are too busy to be able to provide good service you should tell the customers that rather than act as if the customers are doing something wrong.

We sat down at the area in the front first. Wasn’t sure about whether we’d get service or not as it was about 8-10 minutes before we decided to go straight to the bar and ask for a drink. We thought maybe we’d get faster service in the area with the pool tables. Waited around 20 minutes before a waitress came to our table. Another 15-20 minutes for food and drinks. After that absolutely nothing. No silverware no napkins. No replenishment on beer. Our original waitress never came back to our table. My husband decided to just go to the bar to order his second beer, I went up and asked him if he knew where the bathrooms were. The owner was standing right there and rudely told me if I was coming from the other area that I needed to stay in the other area even though I was just asking for the bathroom. Another waitress came and asked if we needed anything. Just the bill and a box at that point. Never again will we step foot there. Egg rolls are good prices are good but the service was horrendous.

This place was really nice. It’s not too crowded or rowdy. Food was pretty good. Drinks are not the best. But they had pool tables, a jukebox, darts, and some arcade games (one pool table didn’t work, also make sure to bring quarters). The service was very friendly.

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!

Came in on a whim, it was karaoke night so that was already a huge plus! Sat down and my server Audrey immediately appeared to get my drink order. Honestly incredible service throughout the night from Audrey and she was extremely helpful with my food order as I was pretty indecisive. I plan on coming every Friday now just for Audrey. She made my night… scratch that, she made my year! Go in on a Friday night and ask for Audrey!

This place used to be one of my favorites, but it’s completely gone downhill since the new owner took over. The rules change every other week, and no one, not even the staff seems to know what’s going on. You can feel the chaos from the top down.
The owner, a nearly 50-year-old woman trying way too hard to act like a 21 year old who owns a bar, is clearly the problem. I’ve seen her stumbling around yelling at customers for standing at the bar or ordering from the “wrong” side of the room. She’s always beyond unprofessional and always appears drunk. However, maybe that’s just her naturally awful behavior.
It’s honestly sad to watch a great local bar get ruined by someone so clueless and self-absorbed. I don’t see myself coming back here. The weekends are dead now anyways. Take your business anywhere else.
