Dive Bars near Albany

“12/10 dive bar experience (solid pours on the drinks, disgustingly good mozz sticks, and a pool table with a good crowd) EXCEPT for Juan Picasso...This absolutely sorry excuse of a human being, after being asked to jimmy open the locked women's bathroom by myself and another woman when a younger woman had been in there for over half an hour with no response, became clearly embarrassed to find her sitting on the toilet with her pants down. He then decided to try and hide his blatant embarrassment behind unwarranted anger and project those feelings onto me, saying sarcastically "Thanks for making me open the door..." before walking away?!Listen, you douche canoe, I'm sure by now you realized that the woman in there actually needed a little assistance - I only wish someone had made YOU clean up the vomit on the floor. Pick on someone your own size next time, eh? Your attempt to hide your personal insecurities and your inability to handle your "big feelings" behind a facade of machismo is laughable at best and incredibly sad at worst. If you own a bar, you take care of your people - I wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up dying on your watch.The bartender, Jeff, was cool, though. We like Jeff.“

“Nice neighborhood bar, sports on the many TVs, billiards, cold beer , good people.“

“Albany landmark one of the last black owned bars in Albany. Nice spot when you don't want to be around drama...most youngins don't want to go there because it's fairly low key which is why I rather go there. when I want to grab a drink in peace..go there grab a drink and show Phil love for keeping this establishment open!“

“This Residence Inn was perfect for us as weary travelers. We were there only one night so we didn’t have a chance to enjoy all its amenities, but it gave us lovely surroundings and a lot of room to unwind. Our room was spacious with a large comfortable sitting area and a nice kitchen. My husband and I slept very well in the king bed. The split areas in the bathroom gave us our own spaces to spread out our toiletries and the lighting and numerous mirrors made getting ready easy. Breakfast choices were many and gave us a good send-off the next morning. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for more! After traveling for 3 weeks we can say this Residence Inn provided our best stay of the trip!“

“I recommend June’s to everybody it’s the best food and very relaxing place to come and count on the best food and if you enjoy a good drink to kick back and enjoy a drink and the owner appreciates all her customers and goes far way above and beyond to see her customers happy I recommend anybody try June’s out you won’t regret it and if you love historic buildings her restaurant is in a old restored fire house that she did all the work herself supper amazing place wish there was more places around the capital region like this. I hope junes is around many years.“
