The best BBQ in Albuquerque is right here at Nexus Blue Smokehouse – and we can prove it. It’s no mistake that “blue” is right up there in our name. It’s because we know the “secret.” Blue smoke equals great BBQ.

We Are Not Your Average Brewery

Pair Our Award Winning Beer With Our Delicious Smokehouse BBQ!

Nexus Blue Smokehouse is the best restaurant in Albuquerque for savory brisket that is fall-apart tender, for burnt ends that pair perfectly with our beer, for a big old-fashioned family spread BBQ platter, or that perfect pulled pork sandwich with crisp, tangy sides.
Our goal is perfection and we hit it every time!

After brewing the craft beer that helped make Albuquerque a destination for brew lovers, and after introducing New Mexican Soul Food, we didn’t stop there. Our second location, Nexus Blue Smokehouse, is for those that crave BBQ and those perfectly smoked meats. We opened Nexus Blue Smokehouse because we wanted to give diners the best barbeque in Albuquerque. We’ve spent countless hour perfecting this craft; we are masters at achieving blue smoke each and every time. We have every confidence in our ability to deliver Albuquerque barbeque that you’ll come back to time and time again.

Why "Blue" Smokehouse?

You may think that plumes of smoke billowing from the barbeque means smoky flavor imparted into the meat. Not quite. What you are actually after are wisps of thin blue smoke. That is the indicator that your fire is not too hot or transferring too much carbon. The char on your meat should indeed taste smoky, but the wrong kind of char tastes bitter. Blue smoke means the flavor of the smoke and wood chips are clean and crisp and the meat inside the barbeque is going to come out mouth watering and tender.
