13 Best Wine Bars near Albany

“The food the atmosphere... Ali, the owner .... I’m speechless ... best Italian food , no other place exists around here ! You want to experience great food ? Go here !“

“Stopped for a quick bite and was more than impressed with how amazing the hot food was.There is a lot in terms of store variety aside from food or drinks.One drawback was parking and location as it seems to be right in the middle of several streets of college student rentals. I imagine though for those students that's a plus.

Parking: Free street parking, at night at least, but if you can find it.“

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!“

“Hatties is absolutely amazing ! The food is so good and the service is awesome ! Our server Terri was so kind and made great recommendations! We will definitely be back here asap!“

“This place is so cool! It's huge and the owner is so nice and chats. We went to the cocktail area upstairs and the drinks were amazing and not too expensive, and the wines were also good and the ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend visiting here and supporting this place. I love the dive bar feel of the ruck and footsy, but this is an amazing experience and such a cool location with great workers. I've been going for more than 10 years and it had always been a great time. Highly recommended.“

“An excellent selection of hard to find Eastern European beers and wines! Plus we tried some local brews. Bartender very good at helping us choose what we’d like. Relaxed atmosphere- we’ve eaten both inside and out in the garden, which is hidden from the street and a nice surprise to find after walking through the black gates. We had appetizers, burgers and salads- all were very good.“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s not just a pizza place—it’s a haven for anyone who loves delicious artisan food. Their pizzas are phenomenal, with a variety of creative and flavorful options that cater to all tastes. But it doesn’t stop there! Their Mediterranean bowls and dishes, like the Gyro and meze platters, are equally amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I order from them at least four times a month, sometimes even more, and they never disappoint. The food is always delivered on time, piping hot, and exactly how I want it. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Nasıl? The quality of their ingredients is exceptional, and everything is so clean and fresh. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a hearty, healthy meal, this place has it all. I genuinely look forward to every order. Fast, reliable, and absolutely delicious—this restaurant is a gem!“
