We stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the arena. We were packed in like sardines, with nowhere left to sit and the kitchen had run out of food. And yet the place still felt chill and welcoming. The bartender/owner was attentive and super friendly, despite the absolute chaos that must have been happening behind the bar. Any employees we saw were friendly and informal. Exactly what you want from a dive in Albany.

I have social anxiety and so rarely go...

What a fantastic place. The food was amazing. Small menu of items from all over New York, but everything we had was delicious! The on-tap beer selection was extensive and great. The bartender was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you’re ever in Albany PLEASE PLEASE stop in and enjoy a beer, a Shirley temple(my daughter had 3), and the wings or garbage plate!

My wife and I stopped in after hearing that they had garbage plates, after expecting a mediocre plate at best so far from our old home (Rochester), we were pleasantly surprised. The plate actually held up to some of the best ones we’ve had back in the 585. The employees were also very friendly and full of great conversation. We will definitely be back to The Excelsior Pub!
