QBar
Cocktail Lounge · Albuquerque, NM
About
One reviewer called QBar 'not a gay bar,' despite its inclusion on LGBTQ+ lists. Located inside Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town, this upscale cocktail lounge draws a mixed crowd of 20- and 30-somethings. The decor is tasteful, with a VIP room, piano lounge, and wine room.
The vibe leans lively and after-hours, especially on Saturdays. Bartenders are skilled. Note the limited hours: Thursday through Saturday only. It has low Yelp ratings and polarized reviews, so temper expectations for a gay-focused crowd.

From the community
This place is not a gay bar. It's full of pretentious downtown types and the kind of snooty gay people who want to be like them. The bartenders are excellent and very skilled, and the decor is classy and tasteful. But the crowd here isn't any gayer than what you'd find in any other part of the city. I wonder who decided to list this under gay bars. Probably the owner, trying to draw in wealthy gay customers from Santa Fe.
