Pretty dissappointing.

Most of the staff are great, Don't expect to be treated with more than professional courtesy if you're a newcomer. It is a private club, and very 'local-centric.' It's clean and well-kept. It's no showplace. It's not a cruise bar. On weekends, it abounds with drag queens and straight couples. It is not a 4-star gay bar. Far from it, it is kinda pathetic I am a native. I have a ferocious love for Albuquerque. Mine is an intense and abiding love and affection for this place. Gay-wise, it sucks. Albuquerque is my home town. I love it dearly. It is, however, a gay wasteland. If you're a visitor, I recommend Nob Hill Bar & Grill or O'Neils. They are not gay establishments. They are, though, very gay-friendly. They will be of a much higher caliber than you'll encounter at ASC. New or old to Albuquerque, if you want a place to have a drink after work & commune with your fellow locals, it's a great place. It is family. Don't expect anything more than that and expect to be held at a distance until they're satisfied that you're a bona fide local. You can expect to be talked about, either favorably or disparagingly, by the staff not in your presence. I have witnessed it. It seems they are not directed or inspired to be professional at what they do. On weekends, drag queens abound as do straight couples (not sure why that is).
