TD's North continues to be the...

TD's North continues to be the best club in Albuquerque, at least in my opinion. If you want a quick trip to a club at lunch it is one of the few that are open at noon and serve food. The meals are good value for the money and the daily special is usually a quite good value. Beer is $0.50 cheaper if you buy it from the hostess in front.

TD's North is located on the east side of I-25 between the Jefferson and Osuna. You can easily see it from the interstate. There is adequate parking in a large well lit lot. At times, there is valet parking, but there is really no point to it. Upon entering the club, you will be asked for an ID, which will be scanned, and then lightly patted down by the bouncer. There is no cover during the day.

You can get a beer from the hostess in front, but the waitresses inside are friendly and for the most part efficient. Once inside you will find a large stage, which when busy will accommodate 2 dancers, and a smaller stage. If things are slow there will be dancers on the large stage only, usually doing single song sets, but if there are only a few dancers, they may do two song sets. As it gets busier, they go to the smaller stage after a dance, and if they are really busy there will be two dancers on the main stage. Tipping is at the stage. What you get for your tip at the stage varies a lot, but you should really tip all the dancers. Like nearly all bars and restaurants in Albuquerque, there is no smoking in the club.
