DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!!! blonde bartender with glasses is incredibly discriminatory and rude. i requested water and was denied service because my ID is vertical despite me being over 21. she flat out denied to serve me. i observed that i was the only black person in the building and the only one to be denied service. safe to say this is my first experience being racially discriminated against. if i could give zero stars i would.

Blonde employee with glasses has a disgusting attitude and is riding an embarrassingly large ego trip. I feel incredibly racially discriminated .. all 5 of my white friends were served & she ONLY targeted me. She accused me of being underage but the problem was that she was irrationally aggressive & blaring at me when I had only been polite. I’m 26 years old & honestly I really wish she had snapped or thrown away my REAL ID so I could’ve called 911 & filed a police report for theft or damaged property. Being polite to employees does not go a long way at this establishment. I’d save your money and go to a bar that doesn’t employ bullies. The way I was met with immediate unwarranted disrespect, is something no one deserves and the only thing that makes sense is that she didn’t like my skin tone. Happy thanksgiving btw !!! enjoy the taste of hypocrisy in that thanksgiving meal, hope you didn’t forget the holiday is about helping refugees.

Best dive bar in the country.

Wow! A classic old school bar mid-block in a brownstone lined street. The real deal!

Whenever the "owner" isn't there. It feels like a Family vibe. I pulled up on my bike with my music blasting and he asked me to turn it down. Which I did. But when you continue to over explain yourself it makes me feel like a burden when the issue was already addressed. I saved 20 bucks that day

The absolutely worst bar in Albany. The manager always seems to be on an ego trip.
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.

Interesting and reliable drink menu. They have a small patio in the back and a pool table. The primary virtue of this bar is that it closes at 4 AM. 2nd biggest virtue is that it is never too loud nor deserted. You can have a good conversation and not be too crowded. And their chorizo empanadas are very good.
