The University Club has lost a lot of its class over the years. Lunch is served on the lower level with few selections and a shortage of wait staff. A very disappointing experience.

Great people, fascinating history, authentic experience. Felt welcome.

If you really, really empathize with Occupy Albany and attend the General Assemblies but are too old and rheumy and economically comfortable to camp out, you can crash here if you're a member. Also open to absolutely everyone on First Friday nights. Wander around, check out the bygone clubby ambiance in which most of us won't regularly indulge. There must be a German word for nostalgia directed toward something we'd never had.

Was here for my former bosses retirement party....cocktails then buffet upstairs. the service was very good, but the food was atrocious! Cold chicken and bland potatoes. The appetizers ran out and were never replenished...just seemed very so-so. I would expect the members would demand more from a private club. Our event took place in September...someone mentioned a new chef...so maybe better now. Since this is a private club...shouldn't it be listed somewhere other than restaurants?

Open to the public on First Fridays and special events. The new chef is superb! The club also features a bowling alley and billiard room for after dinner fun.
They moved places when I get the new address I'll let you know
