    Love!  

    Delicious and fresh margaritas, great atmosphere, amazing nachos.  We stopped in on a Friday night with friends who own a cabin on the mountain - they told us Taos Inn is a family favorite and I totally understand why.  There was a fabulous band and the whole place was rockin'.  A good blend of locals and out of towners, with plenty of great people watching.

    This is only because I sat and sat and sat and sat... I was not waited on forever here, so I finally just got up and left. It was probably only 15 minutes, but when you can stare the bartender in the eye from your table, it just seems wrong.  I know they saw me... and still did not wait on me?

    It looked like people were helped outside... try that maybe?

    Regarding the duck quesadillas with Janine V, it took one bite to know they were bad; not as in "didn't like the taste" but as in "I'll get sick if I eat". Quickly telling the server she took away the dish. That they didn't consider removing the item from the ticket and the chef claiming "that's the way they're supposed to taste"; makes us wonder about the competence of kitchen staff and a clear indication of how they treat customers "our way or the highway baby" - of course we quickly took the highway.....

    Have previously enjoyed margaritas and music there. Disappointed last night. Food was awful--old guac and sad duck quesadillas. I felt bad for server who was trying to be responsive and had to come back and tell us the Doc Martin chef said the food was just fine. Recommendation: Stick with the bar menu (nachos, etc.) and avoid the overpriced and not that good Doc Martin menu.

    This place reminded me of a ski lodge.  

    Came here with my host to check out some live music, get some beers and see what Taos nightlife on a Saturday night was like.  This is part of a hotel as you can see from the name so I'm guessing half of the people were tourists and the other half local.  I have no way of determining this though.  Just thought I'd point that out.

    It was pretty funny.  All the beers that they had on tap here are from Oregon.  I live in Portland for those of you that might be reading this.

    Popular hangout here in the heart of Taos.  They have music every night of the week.  Eclectic crowd.  Good times.

    We were so excited to eat at Taos inn.  We have not been to Taos in several years.  This has always been one of my Fav restaurants anywhere.  Sadly we were disappointed.  Service and food was nothing like we remembered.  This is no longer a destination place.  Very overpriced for sub-par food.  Too bad.  The bar still has the best margaritas and I enjoyed every single sip of my pre dinner cocktail in the bar.  The historic bar is still a Very nice place to sit a spell for a drink.

    Due to a person who blocked me===who has also made a review..here is your update..you were unclear as to what you wanted me to do. No one has ever blocked me and it's rather silly. I was just asking for clarification. So thanks???

    When I was at the Taos Inn, during the summer time, I went almost every night, and there was an open mike night every night. But she tells me now it's once a week-but didn't tell me which day that that falls on, so I'm sorry, I have no extra information to give, except.
    That this place still rocks despite an attempt by another yelper who blocked me for no apparent reason when I was trying to get clarification as to WHAT DAY????? So whatevs and thank you for confusing me and the rest of Yelp.

    Was this review …?

    Was in Taos for 3 nights and went here for all 3 nights, so clearly I didn't hate it. Great margaritas. Just watch out for the potentially hazardous shit bands that may destroy your happy drunkness. The aging hippies who still thinks Pink Floyd rock need to have their floor length beards soaked in tequila and set on fire. Normally I'd say this is a waste of tequila but if it's Jose I think thats OK. On the other hand the band on Saturday night was really good and only enhanced my drinking speed and general demeanour.

    The bar itself is small with a fun relaxed atmosphere if somewhat bright in the table area with some dubious bits of plastic posing as art.

    This place only gets 3 stars because it closes so early. Thursday night and it closes at 10:15 - wtf! Friday and Saturday not much better. Conveniently we stumbled over to the Alley to find further drinking.

    I love going to the Taos Inn's Adobe Bar in the winter to snag the table by the sunken kiva fireplace.. that is.. if they have a fire going!

    Great place in the summer as well.. Enjoy a margarita outside on the front patio and watch Taos interesting combination of traffic cruise on by.

    Tip for the patio, supposedly they only allow smoking on the left side of the patio, so, check which side the ashtrays are on if you don't want to sit next to a table-full of chain-smoking 20-somethings.

    Regarding Open Mic night, last I know it was on Monday Nights. Check their website @ http://www.taosinn.com.... Or call them @ (575)758-2233.

    Cute place with a little patio to sit and watch the people of Taos walk by. Spent about an hour here in the afternoon having a couple of beers.

    Adobe Bar was a good spot for people-watching in the midst of downtown Taos. A great and shady outdoor patio with views to the main drag and a WICKED CHEAP wine list (for bottles!!) made it a great respite from the afternoon heat, despite the biker rally-goers drowning out our conversation with their motorcycle revving during traffic. At the very least, it's a chance to say you had a drink at the historic Taos Inn!

    Blue Corn Tacos!

    The local construction workers told us this was a good place to drop by for light eats and drinks.
    They forgot to tell us how historic it was or that it was one of the more busier Taos neighborhood spots.

    El Muchote Margarita with agave nectar. Perfect!

    I like the Adobe Bar quite a bit. There is a very cozy vibe, and they have live music here every night. You don't even have to pay a cover! If you can snag a seat by the fireplace, do so, because it's the best spot in the house. If you are looking for a place that really exudes the spirit of the way Taos used to be, this is a great place to visit. Open mic is on Monday nights, and be sure to go see the Monkey Feeders when they play there. They are a great bar band, and lots of fun. A must-see if you're looking to experience the (rather limited) nightlife in Taos.

    Many different types of margaritas. You could have a different one every day for a few weeks. They are good too.

    Great good margs, excellent chile relleno app and the music was outstanding - Zoltan Orchestrar - we bought the CD. The perfect place on a cool, rainy night in Taos.
