“I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day.”
\n<\/span><\/em>~Kiss<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For generations, American teenagers have undergone a rite of passage that has contributed greatly to their angst. That rite of passage is the ego-deflating criticism of the music they enjoy. Just as our parents hated the music we listened to, we hated the music our own children enjoy. It just seems ingrained in their DNA that parents will hate the music their children enjoy. Parental disapproval of their progeny’s choice in music probably achieved its heights (or low point) in the late \u201950s when rock \u2019n\u2019 roll was considered \u201cthe devil\u2019s music\u201d and Elvis\u2019s gyrating pelvis was considered downright obscene. Music\u2014whether it be punk rock, hardcore, rap, reggae or metal\u2014still raises the rancor of parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

For teens of my generation, the target of our progenitors’ odium was rock and roll, albeit rock and roll with more adrenaline-stoked energy and attitude than the sappy, saccharine pop music with which they grew up (and which their own parents detested). Perhaps in defense of our music or in rebellion against parental stodginess, we adopted a song called “Rock and Roll All Night” as our anthem, the rallying cry for kids of our generation. The simply lyrics “I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day” expressed the vitality and enthusiasm of our youth. Our parents just didn’t get it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The covered and heated patio–very dog friendly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, the fifty-somethings who once adopted Rock and Roll All Night as our anthem don\u2019t have quite as much energy as we once had. While the song still moves us, we don’t move to it as we once did and would probably herniate ourselves if we attempted the frenetic dance moves of our youth. The same can\u2019t be said of KISS, the sexagenarian band who released the song in 1975 in their Dressed to Kill album. KISS is still contorting corbantically on stage with a touring schedule that would exhaust musicians several decades their junior. You might wonder how KISS front men Gene \u201cThe Demon\u201d Simmons and Paul \u201cStarchild\u201d Stanley also find the energy to be so active in Rock & Brews, a rock-and-roll themed restaurant concept of which they\u2019re very involved partner-owners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The successful 2012 launch of Rock & Brews flagship location in El Segundo, California was a portend of great things to come. Albuquerque\u2019s Rock & Brews franchise became the eighth to launch, but an ambitious worldwide expansion plan promises as many as 100 more in five years. With a hybrid concept that\u2019s as much a family-friendly restaurant as it is an entertainment venue, it\u2019s been a Duke City favorite from day one. In all honesty, however, we would not have visited had a late April day been so windy as to make \u201cal fresco\u201d dining al anima\u201d (dining in the wind). Rock & Brews offers a dog-friendly covered and heated patio\u2026just what we needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
The sprawling dining room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Frankly, we were expecting an over-the-top tacky experience similar to the Hard Rock Caf\u00e9. Instead, Rock & Brews is about as family-friendly as any restaurant in town. Picnic-style tables invite communal dining while leather couches beckon those of us who appreciate being enveloped in more spacious and comfortable seating. Concert posters and album covers blown up larger than poster-size make up much of the wall art though just as many eyes are trained on the restaurant\u2019s 26 televisions, some tuned in to sports and others showcasing music videos (many of the vintage MTV variety). <\/span><\/p>\n

Rock & Brews is located on Montgomery just west of San Mateo in the Northeast Heights. It occupies the space which once housed such restaurants as Zea Rotisserie & Grill <\/a><\/strong>and Coronado Crossing, both of whom initially showed promise, but were ultimately short-lived. Only Harrigans seemed to have staying power at that location. As long as there are rock and roll devotees, Rock & Brews will probably thrive at this location though it may not be frequented by those among us for whom the operative word in dining experience is \u201cdining.\u201d As much as we appreciated being sheltered from the buffeting winds, great rock and roll music and the company of our darling dachshund The Dude (he abides), the excitement which characterizes a KISS concert is direly lacking in much of the food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Side Salads and Sweet Potato Fries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a Web site touting a menu proudly presenting \u201cnon-traditional, creative spin on fresh, quality American comfort food, including wings, salads, burgers, sandwiches and pizza, along with a variety of diet-conscious, gluten-free and healthy options,\u201d our expectations were geared toward an upgrade over what we\u2019d get at Chili\u2019s or Applebee\u2019s\u2026and that\u2019s pretty much what we got. Befitting a rock and roll themed restaurant, the menu is peppered with thematically named entrees such as \u201cSgt. Pepper\u2019s Jalapeno Poppers,\u201d \u201cHotel California Cobb Salad,\u201d \u201cBeast of Burden Chicken Sandwich\u201d and \u201cFreebird Chicken Sandwich.\u201d Appetizers are \u201cOpening Acts,\u201d dietary salads are \u201cRockin\u2019 Fit,\u201d sandwiches are \u201cHeadliners\u201d and desserts are \u201cEncores.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoping for a New Mexico or even Mexico meets Hawaii, we opted for the Hawaiian Street Tacos<\/strong><\/em>, four smallish taco shells with ahi poke, avocado and a sesame vinaigrette with the sushi-standard combination of wasabi and soy sauce on the side. Ripe, fresh avocados dwarfed the poke, both in size and in flavor. There just wasn\u2019t much poke in each taco. Worse, the taco shells\u2014deep-fried flour tortillas folded into a shell\u2014were overly crispy and fell apart at first bite. Much preferable would have been a pliable, fresh corn tortilla. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Hawaiian Street Tacos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Much more exciting were the side salads<\/strong> <\/em>we added to our entrees. Fresh, crisp greens, sweet grape tomatoes, julienne carrots, cucumber slices, house croutons and a shredded mixed cheese blend are generously piled in a bowl and served with your choice of dressing. The lemon pepper vinaigrette has a nice blend of sweet and tangy notes that complement the salad very well while the blue cheese is creamy and thick. Our salads were served at the same time as the fries we also requested with our entrees. The sweet potato fries<\/strong><\/em>, in particular, are terrific\u2014thicker and longer than most. Ketchup need not be applied.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were pleasantly surprised to see tri tip<\/strong> <\/em>among the \u201cmarket fresh\u201d offerings. Tri tip, often referred to as a tri tip steak or roast, is an extremely popular cut of meat in California where it first came into popularity. It comes from a section of the beef called the sirloin bottom and is generally grilled then sliced into thin pieces. Although Rock & Brews version is prepared with a savory rub, you\u2019re invited to choose your topping from such choices as Asian glaze and sweet and spicy Sandia. They\u2019re hardly necessary. The tri tip is delicious, as much akin in texture and flavor to a prime rib as to a steak. Prepared at medium rare, it\u2019s juicy and tender. An accompanying grilled pineapple slice is lagniappe, a very welcome treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eight craft burgers\u2014all served with your choice of crispy fries, house salad, rockin\u2019 rice, fresh fruit or steamed vegetables–adorn the menu. For a pittance more, you can opt for sweet potato fries (worth springing for) or a side salad. You can also ask for green chile with any burger you select. Fresh ground chuck is the beef of choice. It\u2019s hand-formed and grilled to medium (pink in center) unless otherwise specified. On paper, each of the burgers will get your juices flowing\u2014for me, none more than the Ultimate burger<\/strong> <\/em>(brioche bun, double melted cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, pickles and Thousand Island dressing).<\/span><\/p>\n

Alas, the Ultimate burger is better on paper than it is on a plate. Our chief complaint is about the brioche bun which we found to be uncharacteristically dry. It seemed to sap the moistness out of other ingredients we would have expected to provide additional juiciness. We had to remove the single leaf of iceberg lettuce because its thickness also detracted from the flavor of other toppings. Frankly, we didn\u2019t get much from the Thousand Island dressing either. Jack in the Box offers an \u201cultimate cheeseburger\u201d which is significantly superior to Rock & Brews ultimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to how our desire to \u201crock and roll all night and party every day\u201d left with our youth, our desire to return left with the April winds. If we do return, it’ll be more for the rock and roll experience and covered patio than for the food. <\/span><\/p>\n
