Drinks & Nightlife
Consistently voted one of the best bars in New Mexico, Burt's Tiki Lounge is a little bit of Hawaii transported to the Southwest. This weird little oasis in the desert combines a bizarre, almost spooky vibe with some serious island fun, serving up tropical drinks and live music almost every night.
Tip: Drinks here are dirt cheap, so you'll get lots of bang for your buck. With a group? Order the "Volcano Bowl", a giant fishbowl of tropical fruit punch that arrives at your table ON FIRE!

One of Albuquerque's best-known architectural landmarks, the KiMo Theatre was originally built in 1927. The somewhat gaudy Pueblo-Revival-Art Deco Style incorporates adobe architectural styles with the linear motifs and recessed spandrels more typical of classic Art Deco. Paintings and images of Native American cultures abound. Through the 1970s the theatre fell into neglect and was barely saved from the wrecking ball. A renovation completed in 2000 has allowed the theater to again become one of the city's premier venues. Oh, and it is reputed to be haunted!
