“At no fun I've seen local avant garde comedy, new wave industrial goth, blistering blue grass, violin loop epics reminiscent of a scene from eyes wide shut. I've seen astrology disco parties(with a rotating astrological themes and costumes), I've seen local thrash metal bands cutting their teeth, I've seen anime bimbo parties(exactly how it sounds), I've seen couples two step the night away to straight laced country stylings, I've seen psychedelic rock bands from Japan, a Woodstock 99 cover show(yea, that one), I've seen Zardoz(yea that one), I've had a beer in a quiet space with dear friends. I've seen a band called cumgirl8, one called 'a place to bury strangers', and i've seen the medicine singers hammer rhythms into deer skin drums they tanned themselves. Ive seen afro beat, yung fredo, folk punk, glitch core, butt rock, neu metal, soft folk, blues, soul, funk, and weirdly enough a magician once. I've seen locals take the stage and take the plunge and risk baring their soul before the town. I've seen suuns rise in honey and moons come up in wine. I saw death become of light and life become of fire. I saw it from my hiding place within the quagmire.

GREAT VENUE. Just come on the right night for you. Look up the schedule(theyre active on instagram), listen to the acts, youre guaranteed to find a night fit for you. Tonight I saw Jaws and the crowd was wild.“

“we stopped in tonight to see Buggy Jive and Amelia Ray. they put on a great show. MoJo's had all sorts of beverages. The coffee was amazing!!“

“Amazing and delectable selections of cocktails and food. My martini was superb and the staff is personable and unpretentious and friendly. The design of the bar is superb and feels high end and classic with diverse textures and seating that allow you to sink in and sip,chat and munch. This will be our new "go to" place as it fulfills all I've ever wanted to be in Troy.“

“Friendly people. Usually hit up with Roger at the bar but tonight it was Dom along with a very nice couple from Poughkeepsie. Road trip it is to the culinary paradise nearby. So, yes, atmosphere and bar is very friendly. And the beer is good too.“

“We enjoyed our meal at the sister restaurant in Glen Falls so decided to eat here. The Korean mushroom vegan lettuce wraps are delicious as were the gluten free vegan beet burger and gf crab cake. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options so something for everyone at your table to enjoy. The dimmed chandeliers and flowers create a nice ambience along with the fun wallpaper. The farm to table menu is inventive and the waitstaff are friendly. We will be back to celebrate more events here.“

“Food was great, lots to choose from. One of the best Ruben sandwiches I have had, and the nachos looked really good as well“

“The new best place in town!“
