Part of the Gay Albuquerque Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Country-themed LGBTQ+ bar with line dancing, karaoke, and drag shows
Sidewinders is an LGBTQ+-owned bar and grill at 4200 Central Avenue SE and a longtime fixture in Albuquerque's gay nightlife, long a favorite of the city's country-and-western crowd. It runs a full kitchen alongside the bar, with a dance floor and a big outdoor patio, and the calendar leans on Drag Queen Bingo, drag shows, and weeknight karaoke. The room is friendly and come-as-you-are, the kind of place that mixes regulars in for a fundraiser with anyone wanting a casual night that still has a dance floor. It's a frequent host of benefits for local nonprofits, and it sits just across Central from the members-only Albuquerque Social Club: the easy, walk-in counterpoint to the SOCH's clubhouse feel.
