The Albany Distilling Company Bar and Bottle Shop

We hosted our wedding at Albany Distilling and I can not speak highly enough of our experience. Natalie was amazing to work with and the staff were wonderful day of. All of our guests could not stop talking about the drinks, staff, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend for any event!

Very unique building with a patio area surrounded by other the other part of the building. There is also a bar area and indoor seating. We came for trivia and the drinks were great. The pizza next door from DeFazios was excellent.

Wonderful patio and great original cocktails!

Ate 2 pizzas from Defazios from next door which was delicious and delivered to ADC. The atmosphere was quaint and the drinks were excellent! Our bartender was courteous and gave us recommendations on what to order. We will definitely be returning.

Rustic atmosphere and great specialty cocktails. We had some unique craft beer including a Wicked Weed IPA from North Carolina. We got a DeFazio pizza which is delivered to your table.
Nice people behind the bar. Great change of pace.

Went to your farmer's market stand in Troy; love the canned drink recommendation. Don't drink much in general, but when I tried the drink, it was not heavy on the alcohol side and tasty! Thank you for the great experience!

This is one of my favorite bars in Albany. They have inventive drinks and a really fabulous space. There’s games, indoor and outdoor spots, and defazios pizza!

Nice little bar with big back patio. The craft hard liquors taster flight was great. You can also order craft pizza next door and they deliver it to your seating place in the bar.

This place has great atmosphere, drinks, and service. What more can you expect from a distillery/cocktail bar? It’s nice to have a cocktail focused place, with bartenders that know how to make them. They can also make mocktails and have wine and beer available. You can also tell them what kinds of things you like, and they will make you something good.

A weird vibe here the other night, the craft cocktails are overpriced for what was ultimately pretty mediocre

We had our post-elopement "party" at Albany Distilling Company and could not have been happier with our decision! Natalie (the bar manager) went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was absolutely perfect. She really went the extra mile from the custom drinks, to the easy communication, to seeing our vision through. She is the best! All of our guests (130~ people) RAVED about how great the cocktails were and how kind and QUICK the bar staff was. The space itself is a great background and we spiced it up with some amazing decor from The Balloonary and florals that we put together ourself. In addition to all of that the fact that their in house caterer is Defazio's you really cannot beat it! I would HIGHLY recommend it for your next private event or just to visit for a delicious cocktail whenever you're in town!

We came to have some drinks and pizza from next door before we caught a show at the palace theater! Drinks were really good and the bartenders were friendly!

The experience inside was fine. The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. We went to see a singer that had left early and when we left I had a $65 parking ticket on my car. Parking is horrible there and I will need to avoid that area from now on. It was too bad because before I could have seen going back

Parking: Got a $65 parking ticket while there for just a few minutes and another friend of mine had a ticket as well
