Billy’s Long Bar

Our service was terrible, our waitress refused to split out check even though we told her from the beginning we needed it split. I spoke to the manager John but he told me they were short staffed and it wasn’t his fault, but he didn’t actually do anything to fix things either. He just sat there eating dinner while his server fell apart.
It was a completely unpleasant experience.
The bouncers were pretty ridiculous too, we get it, your not nice, and neither is your bar

Not the best place, the overzealous security staff, slow wait staff if sitting at a table, and microwaveable menu items drop this bar out of the running for a nice hangout. I was ready to spend some $$$ on their extensive tequila menu but the service was slow. They said my young female companions couldn’t sit and inhale their e-​cigs out front. It used to be a nice place but it’s getting a little pretentious and unwelcoming. The pool tables and multiple bar areas (including a deck that can be opened in the summer) smartly breakup the large space. It doesn’t really have a style. Without a bump in service and professionalism at the door, people might want to avoid this place.

We went to billy’s excited. That is where the story ends. A rude kid approached us. My son who is over 21 had a Pa license that identified him as over 21 he asked us to leave. I would say something rude but f… That guy. Lol

Worst place to have a drink with a group of friends! First we were approached by a rude and very unhappy looking male employee. The waitress was ok until we wanted to move from the table to the pool table area. She informed us that we need to close our tab. As we were trying to figure out the splitting of the check, she strongly voiced her opinion that she deserved a large tip. Her service was not superior. Food and drink are great however the experience was the worst. never returning.

I will be the bra amongst a lot of bros that approve of Billy’s Long Bar. It’s a cool spot though I’m not good at pin-​pointing the «theme» besides what the name entails. A long bar? CHECK. Sports memorabilia? CHECK. Chicks? CHECK. Truly, Billy’s core demographic are sports fanatics, locals, and even some couples in the mix. I’m told the food here is the one of the best things, if not thee best, but I’ve yet to judge. On this day, it was a mellow weekday afternoon, with the faint sounds of ESPN commentators in the background. Our waitress was super nice and got our 1554’s in even less time. Bars tend to offer good people watching and fun times in the Burque… Billy’s didn’t stray far from that or four stars at all.

Been there. Service not too good, sat there for 30 min to get a beer. Waitress was dicey. Food took an hour for nachos. Suck Bar!

As a craft beer lover that travels, Billy’s is a great late night spot for me. Full menu till midnight then fried food after that. I haven’t eaten much here so I can’t comment to much on the food. What I have eaten has been better than expected bar food. I mean, don’t come here for a filet, but a burger and hellfire chips are damn good. Speaking of… great chips. They have a ton of beers on tap (83 I think she said) and plenty in bottles. I try and drink the local craft brews since I’m not from here and I’m never dissatisfied. I gave it two $$ because I can never get out of here for less that $ 20. Too many good beers to pass up to get out of here cheap. Service is great and always with a beautiful smile.
Damn good place with damn good beers.

I’ve been here a few times with friends. Drinks are reasonable and their green chili cheese fries are to die for!!! We’ll be back again.

This place is what I would call hit and miss. There are a couple things on the menu that are good and consistent and others that are just bad. My other complaint would be the cleanliness of the place is pretty poor.

Great bar. Decent food. Weird atmosphere. Went on hooker night. The girls were scantily dressed — much better looking than any Hooter’s I’ve ever been in though. Went with regulars so we got pretty good service. Hellfire chips… be warned. Don’t take them with fireball shots. Tortilla burger was passable. Amongst the many foods ate with green chili this trip.
Was not even close to being the best.

Billys long bar was a good experience. Staff is really nice. Their food is really good. Was impressed with their green chili.

The service has been great each time I’ve been in! Droids is good! I would have to to say the best local place I’ve been to in Albuquerque

Billy’s Long Bar has been open in Albuquerque for quite some time. I come here on and off randomly based on the party I am with; it’s a nice break from the norm. Every time I have visited Billy’s, I have always been carded, which is a great policy to have because of the DWI problem that New Mexico is notorious for.
Just the other night I was carded twice upon entry. My only paranoia is that I don’t look like my picture on my driver’s license, so I have a thought in the back of my head that one of these days I’ll be asked to leave. Thank goodness this hasn’t happened yet. *knocking on wood*
This bar is your average place with plenty to offer from local beer to mixed drinks. The party I was last with over there had anything from domestic to craft to local beers. I prefer to go out with this particular group because we just stick to beer.
One of the restrooms in the back is small. I took a picture of it for you to verify. But, hey, it’s a toilet conveniently open for those located towards the south side of the building. The restrooms in the front are larger. See for yourself when you go.
Still speaking of my last visit: my people agreed to meet here based on the recommendation of my friend who is a bartender. He usually knows other bartenders around the area, and if he doesn’t, at least he knows the etiquette. I’ll even say, «The reason why he is paying with so many ones is that he is a server too.» The waitresses usually joke around and asks, «You mean he isn’t getting all of these from stripping?» I will continue to joke by saying, «He gets them from doing that too.» We all laugh.
It’s a great thing Billy’s servers can laugh because I have been to other establishments where the help is sort of unfriendly. I think it’s best to serve others who are in the industry because we all know what it is like being in the trenches. I will continue to visit Billy’s Long Bar like an on and off again bromance because I have always received good service here. Every time I have visited the place is always clean. It’s been years since I’ve eaten here, so one of these days I will have to stop in for an appetizer. Good job, Billy’s! Until next time!

I love this place for the atmosphere.
I’ve never been impressed with the wait staff, if you’re a man you might like it more since they all wear their underwear to work.
That said, the food is usually good, and their draft selection is unrivaled.

I like the beer selection there. My favorite waitress is Georgina. Food is good and atmosphere is where it’s at! Yeah !! Good place to watch footbal.

Not bad bar food. Went here for lunch and had the Blackened Blue burger. It was very good. The blue cheese was nice and pungent and the bacon was thick. A little over cooked though. I asked for medium rare and got medium to medium well. The nachos kicked ass and the staff was friendly and provided good service. I’ll probably hit this place again soon. Cheers!

*Edited my review * went back two more times and service was great bartenders friendly and food including the new breaded wings were really good. changed from 2 to 4 stars
*first review *I hoped for better as I just moved down the street– Took a while to get served– We sat at bar. Bartenders were busy talking. Beer was nice and cold– Ordered Salad and Wings– Salad was totally limp– Was really not appetizing. WIngs were nothing special (just medium hot and dry) As the night slowed down we got more attention but I am all about first impressions– I will go back in the future and if I have a better experience I will update this review– But first impressions. Not really excited to go back.

I come to Billy’s to watch sports. They are really a sorts bar, with TVs in every room. They are good about having every NFL game on, for example. Cool.
Beer and drink selection is good with multiple local brews. Food is typical bar food, but tasty and a reasonable selection.
Bar staff is generally nice, though sometimes a little disinterested. The ladies are very attractive… :)
The place kinda has a ‘motorcycle bar’ feel to it, probably because of the number of motorcycles out front. But it’s not scary or weird, so don’t let that throw you. One of the better places in town for sports.

Billy’s has one of the best burgers in Albuquerque (as well as some other fine pub grub). They’re hand-​made, big, juicy, and there are lots of options for toppings. Not just «lettuce, tomato & pickles». We’re talking chorizo, egg, bacon, green chile. This is the place if you want a burger and a beer. The beer selection is decent with a mix of «domestic», «import» and a few craft beers.
The bar has a pretty established feel. It’s dark with a fair amount of wood and random stuff on the walls. I’m not sure what it’s like during the evening, but I’m guessing it’s a biker crowd. During the day it’s an odd assortment of folks on their lunch from work. The staff are dressed for much later in the evening, which may explain why most of the patrons are men…

One of the better places to catch the game or watch a fight and be able to still get some decent food. I’ve been here several times in my years in Albuquerque and I’m a fan. They have a great beer selection, decent prices, good drinks, friendly staff, and a pretty big menu. This is one of the few bars in ABQ where I can get a salad I really enjoy (fresh romaine, cucumbers, tomato, mushrooms, and grilled chicken) but I can still have a bit of junk food too (try the jalapeño poppers!!!)
When they are really busy, the service is a bit iffy, but it doesn’t stop me from going there.
