Sports Bar Recommendation (environment, work, bank)

[nmguy]

I'd like to watch the Lobo-Aggie football game at a local sports bar. Does anyone have a recommendation.

Thanks.

Oh, I do - big time - The "Horse & Angel" Tavern on Juan Tabo (just east of Eubank)...great, great place to watch a game.

Secondly, you could consider Coach's on Central Ave. near Dowtown.

If EnjoyEP's rec's don't work out Fox & Hound would be a close third.

I also am a big fan in ABQ of the Fox & Hound!

Yeah definately Fox and Hounds on Jefferson.

Is the Horse & Angel a good spot to watch NFL games on Sundays? Is a middle aged single female going to stick out like a sore thumb or is this a howdy neighbor friendly sort of place? Looking for a chatty spot, not a pickup joint

Spectators.

(keep it local y'all... none of this Fox + Hound crap)

If you want to watch real football (you guys call it soccer) the best place is Two Fools Tavern

The Horse and Angel would be PERFECT for you then, Yukon!

I am not exactly a "hippster" myself...young-30s male with two little children, and I went to the Horse and Angel ALL THE TIME for NFL Sundays. Definitely the HandA is not a pickup joint (except maybe for late weekend nights), more of a classic Northeast Heights large neighborhood tavern (definitely a bit more upscale than Spectators and Howies Sports Page, etc.) - more comparable to a smaller and locally owned Fox and Hounds.

Actually, the H and A I far prefer for NFL football Sundays because it typically is busy but not terribly crowded and packed - you can spread out, enjoy your game, etc., and aren't crammed in like a sardine like you are in places like Spectators and Howies.

The Horse has a ton of TVs and they'll have any game on almost any TV if you ask. Perfect place for you, Yukon, in ABQ to watch a game.

(Yes, the bartenders and waitresses are all female and they wear generally attractive clothing, however, it is weird that way...it is about as far from a "Hooters" or a "Twin Peaks" type environment than you'd get, and you get just as many 43 year old female patrons as you do 25 year old guys during the daytime).
