The Waterworks Pub in Albany is a lively spot where people go to have fun and let loose, especially on Saturday nights. It is known for its LGBTQIA+ friendly atmosphere and dancing. The pub offers standard drinks at around 10 dollars. The energy inside is vibrant, with shimmering lights and pulsating music that creates an inviting environment. Unlike other clubs, it feels warm and welcoming, where people are comfortable being themselves. The dance floor is filled with a diverse crowd celebrating through movement, and there are quiet corners for conversations. The staff are friendly and create an inclusive vibe, with bartenders mixing creative cocktails and security ensuring everyone feels safe.
However, there have been some issues with the karaoke experience; the host was reported to be rude and overplayed music instead of letting people sing. There is no physical songbook available, only a QR code for music. The pub has also experienced conflicting events, such as a drag show happening at the same time as the Super Bowl, which may impact the sports-viewing experience. Despite these minor problems, many find the place enjoyable for dancing and socializing. Some customers have mentioned that security can be a bit strict at the door, and the atmosphere can be lively enough to notice that there are many more guys than girls at times. Overall, it’s a space that offers genuine energy, authentic connections, and a sense of belonging for the LGBTQ+ community and allies alike.
