288 Lark Wine & Tap Italian • $$
288 Lark St, Albany

“Came here with a few colleagues some days ago looking for a nice wine spot. This place is very nice, cozy and intimate. The wine and beers are great. Staff very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came out at some point to check on us and he was great :) On top of the drinks we also had the cheese plate and some spaghetti, both of which were absolutely wonderful. We are not from Albany but if I ever find myself here again I'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great service :)“

“Excellent food, great service. Interesting place, definitely with a vintage vibe. We are from out of town, visited on recommendation. We loved it! If back in area, will visit again. Definitely make reservations in advance. There is street parking, and restaurant states you can park in municipal lot next to restaurant. Lot has a sign stating $10, but not sure if money collected at night though. We parked pretty easily on the street.“

“We weren't the best patrons - coming in with half as many people as I'd made the reservation for, and buying less food and drinks (plans changed last minute and we lost people and people ate beforehand) - but the service was excellent and the waitstaff was attentive anyways. Drinks and ambience were great. This place was highly recommended to me by my AirBnb hosts.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Daisy is a cute chic taco and margarita place. The tacos are fusion, they have a bulgogi one with kimchi and a fried chicken and a coconut shrimp one plus others. Not authentic Mexican tacos but stills delicious. Classy place.The margaritas are strong! I saw a sign for buy one get one margaritas on Wednesdays. They have a decent amount of tables even though it’s a small place, there is a back room with more tables.The servers were attentive and friendly.The coconut margarita was creamy and I liked the coconut shreds on the rim. Margaritas and tacos are all around $13. Tacos come with 2. Bill can definitely add up but it’s worth it. Great environment to catch up with friends.The chip appetizer with pico de gallo was delicious. The chips had a great crisp, they tasted deep fried. Perfectly salted. I liked my coconut shrimp tacos the best. 2 big meaty shrimp in each taco, crunchy and cooked well and the pineapple in it gave it a nice sweetness. The fried chicken tacos were a mix of dark and light meat chunks, which were very tender and soft. Though a bit too soft for my likening of chicken texture. And the sauce has a very strong cilantro flavor.If I’m in the area again I would love to come back and try other tacos and margarita flavors!“

The store is well stocked with just about everything you need for brewing (and if it's not in stock it can be ordered). Fair prices and good quality merchandise.There's a wide variety of bottling materials to choose from, both glass and plastic. If you don't see it, ask for it!My favorite place to shop for homebrew supplies!“

Emporium Farm Brewery Brewery • $
472 N Greenbush Rd, Rensselaer - 3.26 miles

“Anthony Bourdain said to have a beer in an empty pub, and that's what I did here.Doubles as a homebrew store.What I loved about this place is that the styles are either old school - think English IPA or oatmeal stout - or straight up historical. Definitely a change of pace. I enjoyed all the beers I tried.Owner was super knowledgeable and friendly.Prices were good, and I'm glad they were open on a Monday, which isn't the case for even the bigger brewpubs in town.Old school, DIY place that I'm glad to have visited.“

“Nice atmosphere and great location and they have outside dining but they offer very little food choices, things like cheese plates etc. And it's expensive. Plus when I hear " confectionary" I think of baked deserts, and there aren't any!“
