Average food. Burger patty was thin and the thickness of the bun made for a burger that tasted more of bread than patty. The chicken quesadillas had ok flavor but weren't memorable. Service was good

It was a Friday at 5:30pm, you have to order at the bar and get your own sodas/drinks & then the server brings you the food,but you never see her again. Small menu & food was not great have. Panini that was not even warm, cheese was not melted, got a Bacon Burger that was flavorless and the Reuben Quesadilla that was okay with a odd salsa and spoiled cottage cheese on the side. They didn't even offer us any sides besides a bag a sea salt chips. Then menu online is not the menu they give you. On a side note the place is cute inside & the bartender was polite and apologetic but was not worth $80.

Good staff and food, but if you order a panini, ask that they leave it under the heat long enough to at least melt the cheese.

Walked by an app recommendation! Place was somewhat packed as there was a venue event close by. The service was very good. Was greeted, seated and Sarah the bart tender took my order. She gave options on IPA’s. The food was delivered quick. To my surprise, the burger was flat, a bit on the dryer side with 0 condiments. Was bun, bacon, cheese and a pickle spear. Fries were not available so a bag of voodoo chips were in place. $15 for a high school cafeteria burger with no fries is a big much. No lettuce, onions or tomatoes to justify the price either. Place itself and Sarah’s service was good; but the quality of the food could use a revisit to get value back. I’m in Albany often for business. I will return just for the beer.
Nice comfortable, chill atmosphere. Old Irish pub feel. I had the French dip and my wife had the party melt. Both very good. Definitely recommend. The beer list is totally skewed toward light American lagers (including a supposed Czech pilsner that tasted like a light American lager) and juicy NE IPA's. Hey, that's great for those who like that. But not everyone likes beer that has no malt backbone and/or no hop bitterness. A more diverse beer list would be a big improvement.

Visiting Albany from Nashville for a day, this downtown restaurant was a welcomed Saturday afternoon spot for a comfortable & enjoyable lunch. The suggested sandwich I had (turkey paninni with jam, arugula, feta cheese and other ingredients) was surprising and AMAZING! Can't remember the name, so ask about it. Super vibey, outdoor seating, close to the river, and wonderfully friendly service. Thumbs up 100%.

Had a layover at the train station. Caught a Lyft to Loch & Quay. Well worth it. The music was amazing on 8/6 early afternoon. Fit the place nicely. The Caprese Panini had the perfect amount of crunch and you could taste every element of the sandwich. I loved how it was prepared. Bartender was super accommodating and friendly.

I had the veggie wrap with chicken and the side kale salad. It was SO fresh and delish. So bummed we are leaving Albany tomorrow. I would go back for sure! The lady bartender we had was super attentive-didn’t catch her name though. Cool vibes in there too!
