Brixens

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.

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!

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!

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!

The service was really great, the high ceilings made the restaurant too loud, and we were mixed on the food. We got some vegan options and my partner thought everything was amazing. I thought it was fine. Not bad, but nothing special. I do love that they make their vegan dressings and burger patty food from scratch in house, though. Also, kudos to our waiter Chad iirc for being so kind and chatty even though you could tell he was hustling through a dinner rush!

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.

With a chic yet hearty minimalism, Brixens brings it home with an authentic flair that you might find only in burgeoning Sacramento, CA or Chicago. This place is something special. Views of downtown ABQ while you dine, the comfort of a beautiful brick wall behind you. The food is creative and delicious and their attention to detail is what sets them apart from the competition. Their martini has salt on one side...if you prefer a sip without salt, at least they give you the option I had the Chimi Burger. Cooked to order beef and chili rolled into a tortilla and deep fried! DELICIOUS. The burger comes with creamy and robust red and green chilis on the side. Try their Brussel Sprouts! You will not be disappointed. This venue stole my heart and I highly recommend this place. I cannot wait to go back to try more of their menu. Go to Brixens!

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!

We arrived a little late for my birthday. It's always a big famy event for all 12+ of us, but they were great! The food was AMAZING! Especially the gluten free options, which are completely celiac safe & cooked in a designated gluten free area! And the drinks.... all I can say is we will definitely go back and HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone!
