Sister Bar
Albuquerque / THE ROOM
Why this room makes the map
Sister is a 360-capacity music room on Central that books bands and dance parties most nights from Tuesday through Sunday. More than 15 pinball machines fill the gaps between sets, and New Mexico Pinball holds weekly meetups and monthly tournaments there.
About the room
Open since 2012 at 407 Central Ave NW, Sister runs a kitchen turning out tacos, burgers and burritos and pours several dozen beers on draft. The house rule posted up front is simple: no discrimination tolerated.
Before you go
Sister is 21 and over, so bring ID even for an early show, and eat before 10 p.m. when the kitchen closes. Shows and hours are at sisterthebar.com.
