Happy Accidents bar, a new establishment in Albuquerque, opened its doors in 2021, introducing a breath of fresh air to the local bar scene. As a proud Albuquerque native, I was thrilled to hear about this new addition and wasted no time in paying a visit to see what it had to offer. Joined by my friend Urrutia, who hails from Las Vegas, New Mexico, we were among the first patrons to experience the charm and excitement of Happy Accidents.
Upon entering the bar, we were immediately struck by its inviting and cozy atmosphere. The dimly lit space was filled with a mix of vintage and modern decor, creating a unique aesthetic that felt both nostalgic and contemporary. The walls were adorned with artwork from local artists, adding a touch of creativity and a sense of community to the ambiance.
The bar itself was well-stocked with an impressive selection of beverages, catering to both wine enthusiasts and beer lovers alike. As an avid sommelier, I was particularly excited to explore their wine offerings. The extensive wine menu showcased a diverse range of varietals from around the world, including both familiar favorites and lesser-known gems. From crisp whites to bold reds, there was something to satisfy every palate.
Urrutia, on the other hand, is a passionate beer connoisseur, and he wasted no time in immersing himself in Happy Accidents' beer selection. The bar boasted an impressive array of craft beers, both local and international, showcasing the diversity and creativity of the craft brewing scene. Urrutia was delighted to find a variety of styles, from hop-forward IPAs to smooth and malty stouts. He was particularly impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff who were more than happy to recommend new and exciting brews to try.
One of the things that truly set Happy Accidents apart was their commitment to promoting local products and supporting the community. Not only did they feature local artists on their walls, but they also collaborated with nearby breweries and wineries, showcasing their products and creating a platform for local talent to shine. This dedication to showcasing the best of what Albuquerque and its surrounding areas had to offer was truly inspiring and made us feel even more connected to the bar and its mission.
During our visit to Happy Accidents, we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, who shared the story behind the bar's name. It turns out that Happy Accidents was born out of a serendipitous series of events, with the owner stumbling upon the perfect location and team to bring their vision to life. This story resonated with us, as it reminded us of the unexpected beauty that can arise from life's unplanned twists and turns.
