When you first drive up..you already love this place. Great parking, wonderful building that had been brought to life. Plenty of seating outside on the beautiful patio, tons of bar seating and indoor seats for everyone. Great for groups. They are keeping it classic with beers on draft from Blue Corn, Chama, Bosque Brewery, Turtle Mountain, Marble and La Cumbre Brewery. Small brewery menu with bar bites. TV's all over to watch sports. Plenty of bike parking for you bike riders like me.

My first trip to Albuquerque and I needed to find a spot to quench my thirst. I think we were driving down Central when we stumbled upon this place. Its a nice spot to grab a pint. They have a nice selection of local brews and the two nights we went here they had the football game on. They have a nice outdoor patio section where you can enjoy your beverage and watch the game at the same time. The beer selection was good, the game was on and they kept our drinks filled. If you are in town, check it out.

Was in town for the night, decided to come here because the boyfriend and I both love beer. Came in around 8pm on Friday night, the place was about 50% full, several employees were behind the bar talking, eating and using their cell phones. Took about 5 minutes to have someone come over to get our drinks order even though we were literally 6 feet from the bar top. Several other patrons had to come up to the bar to ask for drinks, service, their checks, menus etc. Finally we just moved and ordered at the bar top but tbh the service wasn't much better there. The food was pretty good and once we got our drinks ( though they were out of my first two choices) they were good as well. The only employee who actually looked like he was working was a guy with a black beard and long black ponytail, didn't catch his name but he was the most helpful. Two stars for food/drinks and environment, but the service, especially on a slow night, really ruined it for us. Unless you are really a fan of New Mexico beers, I would skip this place.

Took awhile to check this place out, but I'm glad we stopped in for a lazy Saturday afternoon. It took our server a couple of minutes to get to us, but we were there right when she opened up (yep, serious day-drinking), so it was understandable. Thereafter, service was attentive but not intrusive, and the laid-back atmosphere was friendly. The tap menu seems Chama/Blue Corn heavy; wonder if this is part of their group. Why not pull in some outstanding Santa Fe brews, if that's the case? Glad to see tasty Red Door Cider on the list. Fried pickles and wings were nothing special, but DS doesn't strike me as a place you go to for the food. Would like to check out the patio sometime when it's not blazing hot, as there were no umbrellas to shade the metal chairs and tables.

Every Wednesday pints are $2.50. Good selection of beer from different local breweries.

The Draft Station is a great place to get a beer. They offer a great selection of craft beer. The staff is very friendly and always helpful! The food they offer is better than most breweries selections. I always have a great time when I go! I highly recommend trying the Draft Station out. Plus if you ever have a problem, the manager is very professional and readily available to take care of your concerns.

Went to the draft station a couple of days ago, I had some friends to me to check it out plus it was on the ABQ passport brewery thing. First off the service was absolutely horrible on a Sunday afternoon and they weren't even busy. The lady who served us didn't even clean off our table when I expressed that it was dirty. Second off she seemed annoyed by me asking questions about the beer and when I asked her to stamp my passport she rolled her eyes. I asked for a water twice and never got it. She came to my table once the whole hour and a half I was there. The chesse fries I ordered were horrible as well, fries with two pieces of American cheese melted on it. The funny thing is that I have a business in the area and I will not be recommending this joint.

One evening my man and I were driving around with "KID#2" simply just looking around downtown. We decided to cruise to Old Town, but then we came across the Draft Station along the way. The adults were delighted, but the kid was upset. She voiced her opinion by saying, "I don't like breweries. They're boring." We adults found a loop hole. "This isn't a brewery; it's like a taproom." Ha ha! Take that, kid! Much to her dislike, we ventured off of Central and into the Draft Station. My husband noticed a dog on the patio. What a plus! Now I know our puppy can join us on future visits. We walked in through the front doors and made and immediate right; it was a slow enough day where we three had the entire section to ourselves. We chose a high square table to sit at -- the one closest to the electrical outlet and water station. Luckily there were games there. I chose dominoes and a deck of cards. This made the kid happy. After playing a few rounds of dominoes, she changed her mind about the Draft Station, and now she wants to bring people here to hangout sometime. We'll see about that. I'm not ready for a car load of typer teenagers just yet; I'll make her earn that hangout by washing dishes for a week. At any rate, I had a cup of the free water, my teenager enjoyed a Dr. Pepper, and my husband had two beers. Neither the kid nor I remember which ones he enjoyed. However, we all recall that we like Draft Station. The televisions are always a good idea for sports. The restroom was clean. The atmosphere was just the right amount of brightness. We'll have to bring KID#1 here to see what she thinks. I think I am a fan.

Raise your pint to another great fueling station in the 505, y'all. The Draft Station doesn't reinvent the wheel. I've been driving past this place for the better part of three months, during construction, and this evening I noticed that the street sign declared "Now Open", so I stopped in for a cold one. Glad I did. I think I should preempt this critique by stipulating that we have a really great beer scene evolving around ABQ and this place isn't anything particularly special. It's a tap room, somewhat spacious, great patio, the pours are the usual: Marble, La Cumbre, Bosque and to a much heavier extent Chama River and Blue Corn in Santa Fe. It's the sister shop of the station in Santa Fe, this one emphasizes Chama, I'm not in love with their brews. But the heart of this station is golden, in that they only serve NM product. It's a great space to unwind, sip tasty suds and enjoy eats from Garcia's and Vinaigrette. Limited menu, but word has it that they're connecting to a Five Star burger joint in the months to come. Beer, chile, salad and burgers, sounds like a great place to watch the game. And that's what I'm psyched about. The sipping rooms are laden with televisions. Does Albuquerque need more sports venues? Absolutely. Again, word has it that they'll open at 11:00 for the upcoming NFL season. Will I be there? Damn straight. A decent beer selection, very good food, ten bucks for a membership, I'm looking forward to Teddy Bridgewater's first touchdown pass for the Minnesota Vikings. Skol! See ya at the Station.

Love this newer spot! Great patio, live music, geeks who drink. The food is awesome! Great burgers and fries. Lots of great, local brews to choose from. Pretty kid friendly too. Good service. I'll definitely be back.

Nice different beer selections! It's pretty awesome that you can drink here and order food from 5 Star Burgers. Plus they have Garcia's queso and salsa too. They're getting a little of the local flair for food around them, while still serving up a few things themselves. They had a little oven right there near the draft beer selections and they can do pulled pork nachos and the likes. Simple easy bar food. I didn't try anything because the bartender was the only one there, and I was the only customer, and I felt it easier to order from 5 Star then make him turn the whole oven doo-hickey on. Maybe next time when there are more patrons or he has already fired it on I'll have him fix something up. The patio is nice and I hear there is live music and an open mic night during the week! Definitely a random find, as I was biking around the corner from 5 Star and quite literally ran into it. :P Check it out at night, or a casual Saturday/Sunday afternoon outdoors. Can't beat the prices for the quality of the beers, either!

I have an instant crush on this place. One more place to expand my horizons. The atmosphere us clean and classy. The patio is pretty sweet. This part of town needed a good bar and chill spot. The food is limited but the beer selection is good. There are 2 TV's for the average sports fan. This place is so shiney and new, I hope it stays this way!

there are maybe 10 people in the place and i waited over 20 mins to get service. never got service. once we left is when the bartender decided to come over to our table... but not to get our order but to get our menus out of the way. the blonde bartender, erin, is always a pleasure but not this red head. NOT impressed!

Great space -- good selection of local brews -- both visits have had really good service. Snack food only. If they had more of a menu, I think I'd probably visit more frequently, and I know you can order takeout from the restaurant next door, but that just feels like a hassle. I imagine I'll pop in here more frequently when the weather warms up again -- great stop along a favorite bike route.
(4)Kim P.
Stopped in real quick to check it out. Pretty good beer selections. A little pricey but I suppose that's understandable since they're owned by Chama river brewing and are incorporating other brewery's in here. Food selection is mediocre; however the bartender told me five star burgers is opening soon and will be serving food here as well so that's good to here. I wish their were some salads on the menu, craft beer fills me up so much and I don't like the stuffed feeling with bar food. Personal opinion. But I will definitely come back. Good location too. Away from the hustle and bustle of the middle of downtown.

This place is awesome. The people that work here are awesome, the beer is awesome and now they have 5 star burger on there menu!!! I can order 5 star from the Draft Station and enjoy an awesome beer??!!! Whaaaat??? Whoever thought that idea up was a genius! This is a perfect place for me, two of my most favorite foods in the world, burgers and beer and more beer!!! Well, I guess beers not a food but you know what I mean. The atmosphere is a lot of fun and everyone seems to be really friendly. I have been in several times now and so I thought it would be a good idea to bring some of my friends in with me. We were there last night and they had "The Geeks that Drink" going on and it looked like a lot of fun. Everyone was having a really good time. I think we might have to play next Monday. Might wanna show a little early tho cause it gets PACKED. I give this place 5 stars for being awesome and I can't understand why anyone would say anything less. The service is always amazing and everyone that I have met that works there is a pleasure to be around. Sorry Isaac D. but I think you are wrong however it doesn't really seem like you are happy anywhere you go. You referred everyone to Marble but then you gave them a bad review too. Anyway. Ladies/guys (although I haven't met too many guys). Keep up the good work! I will most definitely be coming in again soon for a tasty burger, beer and warm atmosphere. Cheers!

They just have other breweries' beer and don't seem willing or able to answer questions about the beers. Food selection is extremely limited. Toilet in ladies' bathroom was stained and had hair on it.
(2)Thomas A.
Albuquerque has a lot of good breweries, and it is nice to have a place that showcases some of those beers. It's nice and close, nice ambience, good beer, food, and I can fill growlers. I think it's a good addition to Burque's beer community.

Understaffed. Had to wait a long time for service and not customer friendly. Beer was great

Awesome to have a draft house in the Old Town area. It's a little pricey, but great selection and great patio.
