AGAVE lounge

I was in the county clerk's office around the corner, and inquired where to get a good lunch nearby. It was a Friday, and the chorus that came back was "Agave Lounge, in the El Dorado." Well, OK then.

So off I set, I found the El Dorado easy enough, and I saw a door outside that said Agave. I tried to open it (it was noon) but it was locked! Curses, foiled! But alas, I would not be deterred. I entered the hotel proper, hung a left, and lo and behold, I gained entry into Agave.

The Friday $5 hamburger special is a heck of a deal. You get the burger and some fries for a good price. They have a nice selection of beers to choose from, you should pick something local.

If you're ever in Santa Fe and feeling the need for a more Cosmopolitan vibe, then head over to the Agave Lounge. This swanky establishment is a good combination of Modern meets New Mexico.
The happy hour menu is great and the cocktail menu offers a good selection.

$15 for a "top-shelf" margarita??? When it tastes like an acidic nightmare without Anejo tequila, I'm pretty pissed. God-awful bartenders for a Saturday night. Protip: Your restaurant name has AGAVE in it. In capital letters. Your margaritas better live-up to that. But they don't. Failure is always an option when you're trying to be a hipster.
