About the restaurant

A speakeasy in the lovely Nob Hill neighborhood, with delicious classic cocktails and tantalizing seasonal house libations. An incredible food menu that's small yet thoughtfully crafted. A dark and mysterious atmosphere is where you can enjoy weekly food and cocktail specials, while enjoying the weekly rotating local jazz musicians. If you're looking for the perfect getaway from the daily routine, Teddy Roe's is Albuquerque's best kept secret!

About the restaurant

Prairie Star Restaurant and Wine Bar at Santa Ana Golf Club has offered an unforgettable dining experience since 1986. Housed in a renovated 100 year-old adobe ranch house, the warmth and intimacy of Prairie Star is intoxicating. You may absorb the NM Territorial atmosphere of handmade adobe walls, kiva fireplaces and full viga and latilla ceilings while enjoying awe-inspiring and sweeping views of the golf course and the Sandia Mountains.

Our culinary team masterfully creates stunning Contemporary New American cuisine with global influences and Executive Chef Myles Lucero changes our menu seasonally to reflect the time and freshest ingredients at hand. Each dish is carefully crafted from the finest ingredients, locally sourced when possible, and organic, sustainable and fair trade items preferred.

Prairie Star serves prix fixe menus on major holidays, and you can find details at prairiestarrestaurant.com. We are closed Christmas Day and New Years Day.
