local spirits & craft cocktails

Enjoy small-batch craft spirits and cocktails from local distilleries, including Ponderosa Brewing Company’s very own gin and vodka. Whether you want to enjoy a smooth tasting flight on the rocks or a handcrafted cocktail, our bartenders know their way around a jigger. Looking for a good place to start? Try our signature drink named after the motel’s founder, Norman—a simple, refreshing blueberry-basil lemonade with your choice of Ponderosa spirits.

Mojito Monday Happy Hour at The Momo Lounge offers bites from our friends at The Imperial Dive Bar & Food Hall, complimentary with the purchase of a cocktail or your favorite beverage.

menus for every palate

We don’t like to be hemmed in, so we don’t have an onsite kitchen. Instead, we’ve partnered with top local restaurants to bring you the best variety of ABQ cuisine to El Vado (our sister motel), just steps away.  See our complete list of food and beverage options HERE. For additional nearby dining options, visit the “Heart of the Southwest” that is Old Town Albuquerque, featuring 150+ individually owned and operated businesses.

When you visit the Monterey, you map your own story, similar to those who have traveled before you throughout the historic Route 66 highway.

Join the journey by writing down your memories, mapping your next move, your next stay, and your personal story.
