live music and bands
at the salt yard
You know and love The Salt Yard for its delicious draft beer, creative craft cocktails and the best margaritas in the city. You love that you never need a reservation and the games are always on, whether you are playing ping pong or watching the big match on one of 50+ giant screens. But did you also know that The Salt Yard is the one of the hottest destinations for live music in Albuquerque?
The Salt Yard’s motto of Come, Sit, Stay & Play extends to our local and visiting bands, DJs and musicians. We know there is nothing better after a long day than kicking back with a slice of hand crafted pizza or sweet BBQ wings from one of our food trucks, drinking a beer and listening to live music in Albuquerque with your friends. We bring in top talent like rising country star Austin Van, party starter DJ Bliss, retro shakers Raven Hills, and more. There is no need to hit Google looking for “live band restaurants near me.” The Salt Yard brings in the best live music in Albuquerque for both relaxing nights out and for our rocking themed parties.
