Depending on her music tastes, Santa Fe has some great entertainment options...
Skylight Santa Fe puts on some great shows in the heart of downtown just off the plaza, and
Sol Santa Fe Sol gets great acts at their venue at Santa Fe Brewing down by the NM 14 exit. If her tastes run a little edgier, the
Matador is a great punk rock bar in a basement right off the plaza. A 21-year-old might also enjoy Santa Fe's busy microbrewery scene at places like
Second Street Brewery (off Cerrillos/St Michael's or in the Railyard),
Duel Brewing,
Blue Corn Brewery, the aforementioned
Santa Fe Brewing, or local taprooms like
Draft Station or
Marble. If drinking holds no interest, maybe she'd enjoy taking in an indie or cult film at Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin's
Jean Cocteau Cinema, or checking out of the readings or events at the amazing
Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse. Speaking of coffee, there's always the coffeehouse scene at one of the
Ohori's locations, and the colonial Spanish and Pre-columbian Mesoamerican takes on hot chocolate available at
Kakawa Chocolate House offer another caffeine option that's uniquely Santa Fe. Finally, if she's not on a tight budget
Ski Santa Fe will probably remain open for at least another month or so, and the Japanese-style hot springs experience at
Ten Thousand Waves is always worth a visit (there's a great Japanese restaurant there too).
Otherwise, there's always the galleries, food, museums and great outdoors that bring the rest of us to Santa Fe!
