Great place to go Shoot a solid game of pool. Great place to meet up with your friends. Kick back. Enjoy quality drinks with good old rock ‘n’ roll. It is a long time favorite of mine to hang out and shoot pool
There's an edgy, almost retro vibe at this place. It feels like a spot you'd run into Nick Fury trying to relax after saving the world or Frank Castle after a night of fighting bad guys.
The ambiance is what makes it. It's been 5 years since I first visited, and I still go back anytime I'm in town.
Pretty relaxed atmosphere! Not too loud, not too packed, very nice place. In all honesty, the atmosphere was the best thing about Anodyne. There were plants every where, soft lighting, and good music! The pool hall is in an upstairs loft so you have a great view overseeing downtown Albuquerque. Great place to people watch! 10+ billiards tables! Even 2 in a quieter room. The only shortcoming was the drinks. They were overpriced for the quality. Ordered 2 Sex on the beach drinks and received pretty basic versions of them. If you want a relaxed atmosphere where you can sit back on a couch and sip some bottled beers, definitely check it out!
Really awesome pool hall bar. Cool crowd at the bar, really friendly ppl, good drinks, tons of tables. Rent the balls. Yes It's upstairs. The music isn't a juke box lol at least not when I was there. It was rocking.
We had a great time good atmosphere. Gr at drink and great service. ❤️😁

Very relaxing place to go play pool or just get a drink with friends. You feel very comfortable and everybody seems to be happy and enjoying their time. Bartender was very attentive. If you need to take money from the ATM they make it very easy and cheap the fee it's only a $1.00 too pull money out.
Very nice bar and pool room. Lots of good tables. Short wait to get one. Bar tenders are attentive and the drinks are good.
Nice place but unnecessarily politically oriented.

It's a nice spot to have drinks with some friends, there are plants covering the booths so it feels very fresh when you're able to find a booth, it can get a bit crowded, but there are pool tables and live bands there, thus people are constantly playing drunk musical chairs so to speak :)
What a cool place. We had great service, because Alex is freaking amazing. We did not play pool but we enjoyed chillin with the plants and enjoying the vibe. They play mostly metal and modern hard rock, but the volume is reasonable and not bothersome for those who don’t really get down with that. I will definitely come back here to hang out next time I am in ABQ.
Easily the coolest, and most pleasant bar in downtown by a mile.
Every time I come here I feel like I have to be straight. It's funny though, I always see my gay friends here.
