“How do you keep warm and in good spirits up in the crown of Maine, Aroostook county? Well...."New Scotland spirits"! Helderberg winter wheat whiskey.. 68W American corn whiskey.... or a nice bottle of Helderberg Vodka. Thanks so much for a taste of Home. Happy New year!“

“I just had the best chicken wings, I ever had. They were Tequila Chipotle wings. They are the best I definitely will be back.“

“Place was dead when it first opened at 12 on a Saturday, but I can imagine that it gets quite lively later in the day/night. There was a good variety of beers. Personally, I'm a sour girlie and appreciate any Gose or Sour beer that I can find so I was pleasantly surprised that there were actually 2 on the menu for me to try. Friendly staff, too, and some entertainment on the TV. You can bring your own food. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but maybe there's some spot nearby we didn't know of that would have been better than street parking“

“Lauren and Colin are beautiful people and run a truly special establishment. An amazingly curated tap list and bottle selection, as well as super tasty small bites make for a wonderful experience with each visit.“

“The Tavern has been in business a long time. Used to be called The Clam Steam Tavern. Was and maybe still is, a popular country music venue. My dad was a country and western singer and played there a lot in the 50's. Maybe even in the late 40's. A nostalgic band stand and dance floor is still there and looks like it is in use. The food is standard bar food but very good. I do not eat seafood however my wife does and really likes the clams. Enjoy eating on the outside porch. Will be back this summer.“

“I’ve found my “Cheers!”
Yes I’m showing my age with that reference - 80’s babyyyy - but this dive bar is IT!
This place has some of the best cocktails I’ve had, easily rivaling overpriced drinks in Manhattan - shout out to Tom!
If you have no idea what you want to drink, no worries, talk to the bartenders, they’ll help you, might even whip up something creative on the spot.
Monday nights belong to Brian the bacon guru, baby I eat pork again when I roll up here on a Monday (I pay for it later too, well worth it, lol).

The patrons are some of the most diverse and amazingly chill group of folks I’ve encountered since moving from the multicultural NYC life - Bx to be exact - to the parts up yonder.

The owner, Joe, is one of the kindest humans, and honey like attracts like, because his team definitely match his energy, they are hands down, some of my favorite people up here! Special shout out to Victoria & Corrine ❤️!

When you go, chill hard, enjoy big, and tip OD!“

“Pint Sized - what a place. It’s cozy. It’s homey. Basically an extension of my living room. Great beer. Great bartenders. Always good vibes among bar guests. I always love coming when J is working bar. What a kind and tentative bartender they are. A Jack’s Abby truly tastes better when J pours it. Also love coming here for Friday karaoke. Good vibes all around!!!“

“Just had date night and have absolutely nothing bad to say! Brian served us and he was knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was cooked professionally, there was no feeling of “another chain restaurant “ it was delicious! Cocktails were nice, presentation was good. It was everything we needed tonight!“

“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. This place has good vegan options as well. The Dirty Little Birdy signature cocktail may be the best drink I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it. Coming back on Friday!“

“great service, good food, friendly clientele“

“A friendly and intimate tavern with great staff, except when a guy named Mark Maurer comes in a threatens the entire bar with a gun.“

“Amazing and delectable selections of cocktails and food. My martini was superb and the staff is personable and unpretentious and friendly. The design of the bar is superb and feels high end and classic with diverse textures and seating that allow you to sink in and sip,chat and munch. This will be our new "go to" place as it fulfills all I've ever wanted to be in Troy.“

“Always an event everyday of the week here! Food is great and has a buzzing atmosphere with lots of smiles. Such a friendly staff and tavern is well decorated and very clean! A MUST SEE!“

“great food, wonderful people, well mixed drinks.“

“Great atmosphere great girls with great outfits! Accommodating owners“

“The Best Place I have ever worked for HANDS DOWN! Grateful for Management, they treat our team with respect, allow every team member to be themselves inside and out! Community, Neighbors, Local Small Business all supporting one another and coming together! Every Day Citizens, Everyone Pitching IN! 🇱🇷🦅😉 XXXOOO“

“Grate spot to hang before and after shows at Lark Hall (~);}“

“Local old school baroom in a blue collar residential neighborhood. The beer was ice cold and the service was good. Had an excellent cheeseburger and was very happy with the tab. Definitely recommend if you are into quality over appearance. Although old it was extremely clean!“

“uwielbiam to miejsce i gorąco polecam ,przemiła obsługa i fantastyczne jedzenie“

“Believe the hype! Casey Finn’s delivers for service, the finest Miller High Life and Jameson whiskey, and I heard that the Ruebens on St Patrick’s Day are the jam.Was sincerely hoping for the rumored bartender vs customer fight (see review from a few years ago), but despite a brief genuine moment of concern (“are you ladies lost?”), we made friends and will be back.“

“The new best place in town!“

“Walking thru Larkin st and came across a bar full of records and wood paneling had to stop and go in. Whipped eggplant with pho cocktail was delicious. Bar tenders were attentive and seemed like they had regular coming and going. Good for tourists and seemed even better locals with the daily specials.“

“Good crowd, interesting rotation of local art and NYS beverages (the “crafts”), fun events and friendly vibes.“

“Waiter was excellent! Food & beverages were great. A place to certainly visit again.“

“Better than ever, great menu, excellent staff“

“★★★★★ Amazing cocktails and PIZZA!
Unbeatable cocktails made by real mixologist's and a rad atmosphere! They have events and live music scheduled regularly and more people need to check this place out. I'm pretty sure the pizza is smuggled in through a prohibition era brick tunnel that connects DeFazio's to Albany Distilling. Go get some tasty pizza a few cocktails and support a unique local business.
Five Shiny Stars! ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“grate place to hangout good food“

“i can’t remember the exact hoagie/sandwhich it was something spicy though like maybe buffalo chicken? id probably remember if i looked at the menu but anyways bro let me tell you i thought about that food for days after. so i just had to write a review, that was literally the best sandwich i’ve ever had. it was so juicy and the meat just fell apart. i hope this was the right place it was across the dunkin. it wasn’t crowded i was the only person there, definitely needs more credit. for sure want to eat again.“

“This place is to die for! The food is excellent, the drinks are strong. The ambiance is “ecclectic meets English cottage” feel with plants all around refreshing the air, lots of framed picture and paintings, mirrors, and music. The front of the restaurant has window seats! The food is varied: I had a burger, one daughter had the chicken teriyaki, another had the classic Cesar salad with grilled chicken and the last of our group had the Tuscan salmon. Everything was prepared perfectly, the burger was deliciously medium-rare, the chick teriyaki was cleverly wrapped around a carrot and scallion then cooked, and it’s hard to mess up a Cesar salad (which they did NOT). This is a perfect spot for a girls dinner out, gives awesome vibes for first date, or just a pleasant place to come for a refreshing meal.“

“Albany landmark one of the last black owned bars in Albany. Nice spot when you don't want to be around drama...most youngins don't want to go there because it's fairly low key which is why I rather go there. when I want to grab a drink in peace..go there grab a drink and show Phil love for keeping this establishment open!“

“Nice neighborhood bar, sports on the many TVs, billiards, cold beer , good people.“

“This restaurant was amazing!!! Service Amazing! Food, phenomenal and LARGE portions. Everything was fresh and our waitress was so kind and accommodating. Then at the end they brought out shots on an airplane with a birthday screen wishing my boyfriend a happy birthday. If you’re on the fence COME HERE!!! This restaurant is amazing. Loved it and will be returning soon👍🏾. Special thanks to Natasha for great service“

“Whenever I fly out of Albany Airport, I always stop by Hudson's for a pre-flight drink. I've consistently had positive experiences—friendly bartenders and quick service every time. It's also conveniently located near most of the airlines I fly with, which makes it an easy stop. I haven’t tried the food yet, so I can’t speak to that, but I definitely recommend grabbing a drink here if you’ve got a little time before your flight!“

“The staff at the Berlin helped me celebrate my birthday in style! They made delicious drinks and food and were just a ton of fun. I would recommend 100 times over!“

“I want to call this a hole in the wall bar because of its location but the amount of people that come here on the weekends prevents me from doing so. Nonetheless, I've had a fantastic weekend every weekend that i've been here. The atmosphere here is just very laid back and chill. It doesn't take a lot for me to have a good night so this place has all the essentials I look for:“

“Love the Irish pub atmosphere. Would highly recommend Ryan's Wake for a private party. We had 50 people who were very comfortable in the space. Private room has its own bar which was great. All the staff we worked with were friendly and accommodating. We had appetizers, since party was 6-9pm. Great working with Jared, as he helped me with party planning suggestions. We brought balloons and some decorations. I was extremely happy with Ryan's Wake private room. Plenty of room to mingle! Great job Ryan's Wake!!“

“I love Karaoke night always love to hear my wife sing and love the DJ. haven't been there since the new DJ came in this past week but great bar and atmosphere. I'll check out the new DJ next week but really liked the old one.“

“Out of town working, read the reviews, previous review guy walks out because Fox News was on. I was all in. I wish there was more of him around. makes my visit that much more enjoyable . if you are looking for food this is the wrong place. If you’re looking to drink and hang out and have a good time, this is it. Darts pool, Jamison and Guinness and other beers but no Bud Light. Locals are extremely friendly ,met several new friends on the first visit“

“Oh my goodness!!! I had the BEST Mexican pizza Friday night. The barbacoa was so tender and all the other ingredients were as fresh as if they had just come off the plant. I’m already planning to go back soon to have it again. Would recommend this place 100%!!!“

“We recently approached the owner of Sammy Cohens (Lisa) with a last minute request to host a small wedding at their restaurant. We will never regret that decision!!!! Lisa met with the Future Bride and Groom, helped them with menu items, decor for the banquet room and worked with them to plan their wedding and reception with less than a weeks notice!!! They prepared the room which looked beautiful, arranged for two servers (Courtney and Will: Love them both to pieces), who were beyond amazing, set up a trellis for a backdrop, decorated the tables and served the MOST amazing food! The experience from the first phone call to the end of the reception was picture perfect! Every single guest commented how great the food was and how beautiful the banquet room looked. Lisa could not have done more for us, she was excited for us and treated us like family. She met with the bride and groom two times before the wedding to ensure everything would be as they hoped, and checked in on the venue. And.....her prices were absolutely amazing!! We have a wonderful gift sitting right here in Schaghticoke and we are lucky to have a nice restaurant where we can go out and eat locally, and it is owned by someone who not only cares about the community, but each individual person who approaches her with a special (and very last minute) request. Lisa, you made their wedding day a perfect memory in their lives!!!“

“We recently enjoyed a company holiday event in the VIP room at The Bunker. The food and drinks were fantastic (the potstickers in particular), and the space was perfect for our group. Emily and her team were very accommodating to us on short notice. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Bacchus has been the best most under-rated pizza in the area…in NY..for years. However something changed recently. I don’t know if it was a one-off but their flour or dough changed. Not in a good way. What happened?!?“

“Food and service were absolutely outstanding!! definitely recommend the Eggplant burrata sandwich.. it is out of this world amazing!! I can't wait to come back and try something different“

“Daniel is a savage w the chefs hat on.“

“12/10 dive bar experience (solid pours on the drinks, disgustingly good mozz sticks, and a pool table with a good crowd) EXCEPT for Juan Picasso...This absolutely sorry excuse of a human being, after being asked to jimmy open the locked women's bathroom by myself and another woman when a younger woman had been in there for over half an hour with no response, became clearly embarrassed to find her sitting on the toilet with her pants down. He then decided to try and hide his blatant embarrassment behind unwarranted anger and project those feelings onto me, saying sarcastically "Thanks for making me open the door..." before walking away?!Listen, you douche canoe, I'm sure by now you realized that the woman in there actually needed a little assistance - I only wish someone had made YOU clean up the vomit on the floor. Pick on someone your own size next time, eh? Your attempt to hide your personal insecurities and your inability to handle your "big feelings" behind a facade of machismo is laughable at best and incredibly sad at worst. If you own a bar, you take care of your people - I wouldn't be surprised if someone ends up dying on your watch.The bartender, Jeff, was cool, though. We like Jeff.“
