Backstage at Revel — Restaurant in Albuquerque

If you are looking for a nightlife venue that is different from the typical bar scene, look no further than Uptown Funk! It's a great place for some great entertainment with a lot of adult humor, perfect for a date night, chilling with friends or a celebration of a special event. At present, there was no cover charge during a weeknight (my visits have always occurred during a weeknight) and usually no reservation is required UNLESS you have a big party or possibly during the weekend when the venue is busier. The piano players alternate so you never see the same act twice, unless perhaps you are a regular. This venue is somewhat hidden (in a square next to the Japanese Kitchen). There are daily drink specials and you are more than welcome to bring in food from one of the surrounding restaurants. (Uptown Funk does partner with Ruth's Chris Steak House, you can call and place your order and they will deliver the food to you) This venue is something that Albuquerque has always needed, and it's definitely...

I came to Uptown Funk Dueling Pianos for my birthday with eight of my friends. It was a packed night but we were having lots of fun! However some stupid person tried to start a fight with my friend and my husband and the bouncer told them to cool it off but what really made us mad was they served the guy more beer and shots even though it was obvious that this guy had way too much to drink. My husband asked the bouncer why they served the guy more drinks if he was the one instigating the fights, and the bouncer just told him that it was fine. I felt they don't take people's safety into account when it comes to how much they serve a person alcohol. This guy could have been one shot or beer away from starting a fight with another person. We left immediately because this was not right. And we will NOT be returning to this place. If you want to be safe while having a good time, then do not come here, go somewhere else where they don't encourage fights by over serving people who are...

I've been wanting to go to this place since it opened, but it's always been so busy. We walked in and it was standing only at 9:30 and tables didn't clear out until close to midnight right before they closed. At first, I was a little bummed by having to stand up, but as the night progressed, it didn't matter. The musicians are amazingly talented. You don't have a ton of drunk, out of hand people that you have everywhere else in Albuquerque, and the wait staff were friendly and kept busy all night. Even when you're standing, you have a place to put your drinks and lean. If you want your song played, pick a good one and throw down a good tip to ensure it gets played. Not only do the musicians deserve it, but they get a lot of requests and they choose the highest bidder. Drinks are fairly priced. Overall, one of the best nights I ever had! Will...
