Loved this place so much. As someone with a severe gluten intolerance, there are not many restaurants I can enjoy safely. Our server was very knowledgeable (and awesome in every other way) and explained that they have dedicated kitchen space, fryers, etc. The menu was very clear about which options were available gluten free, and the food/drinks were so delicious!
The atmosphere was perfect and comfortable. So happy to have this option downtown. Can't wait to go back and try more from that menu!
I went for the vegan option and it was amazing! The food was fantastic best ive had in New Mexico! Everything was fresh and seasoned to perfection. We ordered vegan nachos, NM tempura, the 66 crunch burger and the chicken parm (all vegan) and it was great!!! The service was above and beyond our waitress was the best! This will become out regular weekend restaurant for sure!!
Brixens has a great downtown classy feel with modern touches. The service was great! We were greated immediately, and it really set the tone for the night. Gisele at the front was so amazing! We got the table we preferred and the great service just continued. You order by I pad, which is a cool touch. The drinks are great and the food tastes as good as it looks! We will definitely be back here often!
This is a solid place to grab a good meal, a beer and/or a cocktail. There are fantastic shareables and starter appetizers on the menu. I really love the fried olives and my husband enjoyed the salt and pepper wings. Sunday is happy hour all day so it’s a fantastic time to try a new appetizer at a discount and not have to worry about paying for metered parking in the downtown area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and return again and again.
A really fun atmosphere, it stands out on the corner of the main street with lights and cool decor. Very clean and modern, with lots of TVs. The nachos were amazing, and bigger than expected! Great local beer selection, and fun original cocktails too. Highly recommend!
Best avocado toast I have ever had. The Brussels sprouts were delicious and crispy. Very happy with my visit for brunch today and I will DEFINITELY be back. Service is a bit slow, but totally worth the wait for the quality. ☺💛
Edit: I came in today (my birthday) for a little snack and a tasty drink and the service was absolutely amazing! Kaitlin was very kind and even got me little to go cups for my left over dipping sauces. I got the blackberry basil margarita and fried pickles and both ROCKED! Best little birthday trip.
Yum! We were visiting on business and ate kinda late after hitting the Sandia Peak Tram. The brussel sprouts were amazing. Also shared the hummus plate and nachos with friends. The fried olives on the hummus plate were a special delight!! Had the chicken sandwich and it was ok but not special; my drink was fantastic. Buuuuuut let's talk about the chicken and waffles omg! My friend had the last plate of the night and it was DELICIOUS. Cool vibe, the menus were tablets (fun feature of "reading more "). Appreciated the door man staying outside with us while we waited for our Uber; we felt safer, thank you! Would definitely recommend to friends! 👍
Located in a great spot right downtown. Atmosphere is mildly rustic and very hipster, could be described as sports bar with plenty of TV's playing multiple sports channels. Menu's are tablets and the tables have ice chests built right in the middle of the table. Food was tasty but pricey. Service started good but got slower as the night progressed. I ordered dessert but wasnt happy with it, and the waitress graciously took it back and gave us something else. Also ordered their signature Chimichanga burger and I wasnt dissappointed. Came with shoestring fries and red and green chile to dip, they used powdered red chile but it was still tasty, green was a sauce with mild kick. They also have a nice cocktail menu with specialty drinks that include absinthe.

We're in town to see the area for a potential job relocation and decided on a late dinner here at Brixens - wow! Everything was great! Our server, Ian, is one of the best we've ever had - conversational, friendly, knowledgeable, patient (we couldn't make up our minds on what we wanted to try first), and efficient.
The menu boasts that everything is made from scratch so it will take a bit longer to get your meal but that's fine by us! They also mentioned using sustainability sourced seafood, antibiotic free chickens and something about the beef too (cannot remember) so you feel better about eating here.
I feel like Chef Ramsey would be so pleased with this place. Food was flavorful, unique, good portions, and the menu wasn't too big or complicated.
Oh! Speaking of the menu, since it's on a tablet, you get a brief description of the item and can click on it for more info which includes allergen and dietary info as well as a more detailed description (even for drinks!).
The only thing I didn't like was that it was just a little loud for my preference but it's one big open room. This doesn't deter me from a 5 star score or from going again.
Thank you Brixens! Hope to see you again soon!
Spot on music in a fun atmosphere and ridiculously good food. Sliders are incredible, and those cajun fries are poppin. Tacos (citrus fish and red brisket!!) are a perfect intro to ABQ food too. Plus they have live performers up top overlooking the place, so rad!

Restaurant is beautiful trendy. Many young adults. Food was okay. The menu was an iPad with a cover. We really like that. Nice place to hang out with friends.
Stopped in for a quick bite and a few beers. Waitress was friendly and attentive. They had a good selection of local beers. I ordered the grilled cheese dunkers w/ tomato bisque. Both were delicious and the added walnut pesto to the bisque was a great touch.
