About this place Sidewinders Ranch

Sidewinders Ranch sits on Central Avenue SE, Albuquerque’s sprawling Route 66 corridor, just east of the university area. It’s a gay bar with a distinct country-western slant, where line dancing and two-step nights share the floor with a regular crowd of local men and women. The listed hours are 2pm to 2am daily, making it a viable option for an afternoon stop or a late-night one. Since dance lessons and themed nights rotate, check the bar’s social pages for the current schedule before you go. Central Avenue is long and not particularly walkable from Old Town, so use a ride or the bus.

Everyone gets al I ng great together. Some people are only half dressed and sometimes quite outrageously. Counter area can get hectic so I always sit at a table near the bar so I can watch for a slow moment then go up and order my Blue Moon beer.
