Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro, a renowned restaurant in Albuquerque, has been serving patrons since 2003. Located in historic Nob Hill, Zinc is situated between the Lobo Theater and the Buffalo Exchange. It offers a formal yet relaxed atmosphere for diners to indulge in American bistro fare at an affordable price. With an impressive wine selection, a full bar, exceptional service, and a diverse menu, Zinc caters to all tastes.

As soon as guests step inside, they are greeted with warm colors, stained glass, and fresh-cut flowers. The zinc top bar is perfect for those seeking a cocktail, while the main floor and mezzanine offer intimate dining options. For an exciting experience, diners can sit at the exhibition bar and watch the kitchen prepare Chef Chris Pope's menu, which includes classic bistro dishes such as steak frites and French onion soup, as well as unique seasonal creations like smoked trout on potato pancakes and seabass over chilled noodle salad.

Zinc's Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list, premium martinis, and ice-cold beers as the upstairs, but in a more casual, intimate lounge setting. The menu is also more relaxed, with appetizers and sandwiches that pair perfectly with any cocktail. Zinc's Main Dining room can accommodate up to 120 guests, while the Cellar Bar can seat up to 85 people. Both areas are smoke-free and available for private events.
