Sunday Service Motor Company — Restaurant in Albuquerque

You gotta work your way here through a bit of an industrial/business area, but it is worth it when you do. SSMC has a vintage cigarette pack coolness infused with art vibe. There is an art studio next door that you can see through a big window inside the building. SSMC is both cafe roastery and brewery tasting room. You feel both things. There is a tall chair bar if you want to stop for a pint and a large seating area with tables and couches for lounging. Out back there is a patio (with a local street scene mural) that is outside yet covered and portions of it are protected from the wind. They thought it out. The owner is behind the bar brewing coffees when I arrive, and he mentions he's working on a fresh pot.

Sunday Service Motor Company (SSMC) is one of our go-to spots in Albuquerque. The service is consistently fantastic, and the drink menu covers everything from expertly brewed coffee to craft beer and cocktails. You really can’t go wrong with any of their beers, but the Killswitch Kölsch and the IRA (Irish Red Ale) are definite standouts.

During soccer season, this is the place for us to catch Bayern Munich matches. The ownership and staff have been incredibly welcoming to our group, New Mexico Roten, and have created a real sense of community. If you haven’t been yet, SSMC is absolutely worth...
