    The lofty rooftop perch at historic Hotel La Fonda is open only from mid-spring through mid-fall, but during the warmer months it's one of the loveliest places in town to sip cocktails while watching the sunset and surrounding mountains. Year-round, you can also enjoy outstanding margaritas and tasty bar food in lively La Fiesta Lounge, just off the hotel lobby, which also features live music.

    With its long front portal and expansive back patio, this ancient adobe restaurant is a lovely spot to enjoy the afternoons and evenings of summer. The roomy, rustic lounge has a true Old West atmosphere—there's been a bar on the premises since 1835—and you can order some fine Spanish brandies and sherries in addition to cold beers, sangria, and margaritas, and the kitchen turns out authentic Spanish fare, from hearty paellas to lighter tapas. It's a great place to see a variety of music, including first-rate flamenco dinner shows; the dance floor fills up with a friendly crowd.

    This beautifully designed bar inside the historic Hotel St. Francis makes some of the best and most interesting craft cocktails in the state, including a classic Manhattan with clove tincture spritzed over the top, and a smoked-sage margarita.

    The side bar at the Hotel Eldorado is stylish and contemporary, making it just as much of a hit with locals and nonguests as with those staying on property. The well-made cocktails, natty decor, happy hour deals, and stellar late-night bar-food menu (seared tuna with avocado, street tacos) are among Agave's key assets.

    This rollicking barbecue and burgers joint is one of the most popular places in town for live blues, country, rock, folk, and even karaoke. The bar is friendly and the cheap happy hour margaritas provide a lot of bang for the buck. The fun pool hall can get wild as the night gets late.

    The laid-back saloon at Downtown's Inn of the Governors serves a fine green-chile cheeseburger, plus quality margaritas and the like. It's less fancy than some of the other hotel bars in town, with old-fashioned Western decor, dark-wood paneling (warmed by the glow of a wood-burning fireplace), and an airy patio.

    A little off the beaten path, about a 20-minute drive south of the Plaza right where the Turquoise Trail intersects with Interstate 25, this respected brewery—the state's oldest—sometimes hosts live music on the weekends and serves fine ales as well as offering tours. Although food isn't served, visitors are encouraged to bring their own or order from one of the food trucks that regularly stop by.

    This retro-fabulous restaurant serving steaks and New Mexican fare is a legend in this town with politicos, reporters, and deal makers. The real draw is the kitsch-filled '50s cocktail lounge.

    Although not strictly a gay bar, this LGBT-owned bi-level nightspot does draw heavily from the alternative community—it's a fun and welcoming spot for dancing, especially with 20s and 30s types, whatever your orientation. There's a cozy bar serving light food on the main level, and a good-size dance club in the basement space downstairs.
