JUNO Brewery

JUNO Brewery sits at 1501 1st St NW, in the Downtown Arts District just north of Albuquerque's main Downtown nightlife strip. It combines an on-site brewhouse with an art gallery and a kitchen serving Mediterranean-style tapas. The house beers run from IPAs and pilsners to sours. It is not a gay bar. Local LGBTQ+ listings describe it as a queer-friendly community space with a mixed, all-genders crowd, and it fits easily into a night out in gay Albuquerque. The outdoor patio, with its custom steel tree sculptures, has regular live music. The events programme also takes in Argentine tango lessons, burlesque shows and local art exhibitions. Listed hours are 4pm to 10pm Monday to Wednesday and on Sunday, and 4pm to midnight Thursday to Saturday. It works best early in the evening, before heading to Effex NightClub on Central Avenue SW, a short ride away. Check the website or Instagram (@juno_abq) for the events calendar, as tango, music and burlesque nights rotate. Phone +1 505-219-3938. The legal drinking age is 21 and ID is checked.
