It's always happy hour when you consult your Spirit Guide. Your best friend for bar-hopping lets you in on the drink and food specials, tells you where the music is (and isn't) and helps you find the perfect spot. A great night out starts with Spirit Guide.

At Blades, the mood is jovial and boisterous, in keeping with the neighborhood bistro feeling to which its aspires. A stainless-steel counter at one end extends the feeling of openness by offering a view into the kitchen, while across the dining area is a beautifully crafted hardwood bar. On the short, dinner-only menu, there’s an eclectic mix of appetizers (roasted beets with toasted goat cheese and balsamic glaze), European-style entrées (paella), and several salad and soup options, all beautifully presented.

I have never been disappointed in any visit to Blades
Professional from the front of the house to the wonderful waitstaff to the kitchen staff.
The menu changes and forces me to try dishes I have avoided for too many years.
Try the sweetbreads from Chef Kevin's seasonal menu.
They are simply incredible.
Pastries by Catherine are incredible.
Try her banana and chocolate bread pudding or opt for her house made ice creams and sorbets.
And Bartender of the Year Brian creates some of the most intriguing concoctions in the Metro area.
Blades is worth the short trip from downtown ABQ or even Santa Fe.
