For your dining options, you can enjoy dishes like charcuterie or a hummus platter, beer-battered fish and chips, or applewood-smoked steak frites. No matter what you order for dinner, you won't be disappointed.

Of course, you must pair your dinner with one of many refreshing cocktail options. While you can certainly order a glass of wine or a pint of beer, if you enjoy a good cocktail, there's no better place to try one than here.

Among the cocktail options are a crafted martini flight, a Mai Tai with a spiced rum float, a Manhattan, and an old fashioned. Just pick your poison!

For a cozy, intimate place to have drinks, there's no better place than Bar Uno. This tiny bar in New Mexico offers craft cocktails and beer as well as a local feel.

Bar Uno is a tiny bar located at 108 2nd St. SW close to Route 66 in Albuquerque. It's the tiniest dive bar in the city and yet has a big community feel when you enter through its doors.

With very few seats at the bar and tables, only a few people at a time can be served. But that's part of the charm here, am I right?

As small as it is, Bar Uno has quite an extensive cocktail menu.

Whether an Aperol Spritz, a Bay Breeze, a Paloma, or a Cuba Libre is your go-to beverage of choice, this bar has an impressive selection of drinks.

And, of course, there is wine and wine-based drinks like a Champagne Cocktail or Mimosa as well as six local craft brews on tap. What will you order when you're here?

When you come to Bar Uno, it's practically a requirement to play a game of Uno while having a drink, right? There are plenty of other games at this bar but Uno happens to be one of my go-to games.

While filming an episode of Dateline in 2018, Mr. Morrison and the crew spent time enjoying the food and ambiance at The Buckhorn. The saloon was even transformed into a set for the show.

While it's incredibly cool to have such famous guests visit The Buckhorn, it's a welcoming place for all. You can come here and listen to music at the saloon's Opera House...

...or dine in The Buckhorn Dining Room or the Saloon. You can start out with a small plate of Italian meatballs with creamy polenta before dining on a burger or steak for your main course.

Glazed salmon, chicken parmesan, shrimp scampi, and mac and cheese are all on the menu as well.
