La Fiesta Lounge
La Fonda Hotel
100 E. San Francisco St.
Santa Fe, NM
(505) 982-5511
Used to be one of our favorite venues before alterations spring 2016, located downtown in Santa Fe’s most historic, famous hotel. Attracted locals as well as the expected tourists, it used to be a great place to dance or people watch. Unfortunately it now looks/feels like an airport lounge. No cover.

In Madrid, an old mining town 15-20 miles from Santa Fe – you might have seen the town featured in the movie “Wild Hogs.” On a Saturday night when they are in full gear it’s a noisy, wild, crazy place!
