World Tavern Poker: Free Tuesday Poker in Albuquerque (July 28)

America’s #1 bar poker league lives at the Lobo. Every Tuesday. Two tournaments. Zero dollars.

World Tavern Poker takes over the Historic Lobo Theater every Tuesday night with TWO free No-Limit Texas Hold’em tournaments — Round 1 at 7:00 PM and Round 2 at 9:00 PM. Play one or play both. No buy-in, no cover, no catch.

This isn’t just a casual game — it’s a league. Finish in the top 20 and you earn points toward tavern, regional, and national leaderboards. Stack enough wins and you can punch your ticket through the Tavern Championship all the way to World Tavern Poker’s National Championship, where more than $100,000 in prizes is awarded every year. Since 2004: 400+ venues, 200,000+ players — and Albuquerque’s seat at the table is right here in Nob Hill.
