50 Best Bars near Colonie

“Great Food and Amazing Staff!! 10/10 Recommend!!“

“Ordered from Uber eats. Actually read what they are trying to do and I loved it. Cheap meals that are extremely tasty. I just got the chicken curry and it's seasoned very well. The spice was great for me but for some it could easily be to much. If you ever have to turn it down for a broader reach please keep an option for the original.“

“The bartender was amazing! And offered “snacks” was a great first time experience for my Puerto Rican friend who doesn’t get out much !“

“Fun night out….great staff and cool place with a good amount of different activities.“

“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!“

“Fun place to hang out, whether you play golf or not, it's so much more than that. Great food, great vibes!“

“Northern Barrell has good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. Whether you’re going out for a fun night at the bar, a family dinner, or a business meeting; Northern Barrell is the spot to go!“

“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.“

“Tonight was mine and my fiancé first night going here. The staff was nothing short of amazing. The food was phenomenal. Everyone was so polite and very attentive. Thanks for a great dinner. Most importantly thanks to your amazing staff.“

“I love this spot. Great drinks and a great ambience. 🙂“

“Stopped at nearby hotel on our way to Canada, did a search and up popped Klam'r.

Great location on the Mohawk river, nice green space across the street. Inside was what I'd describe as a joint, in the best sense.

Interesting decor, lively and popular at times. We were seated and then came the popcorn bowl and I'm thinking I don't want popcorn yet we ate it down anyway 😂

The steamed clams are definitely worth an order. The fish and chips was perfectly cooked. Not heavily breaded, not greasy, just perfectly cooked. Tender and delicious fish with food fries. The coleslaw had a sweetness to it from the pineapple, trust me it was good. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos.

Staff were friendly and service was good. We ate after the early dinner rush but finished before the party crowd got there.

It's a bit out of the way but you'll be happy you came here.“

“We went here for a sold out event. It was a great experience! With only two bartenders, they quickly and efficiently made drinks, never making the wait time longer than 5 minutes which was impressive given how packed it was! The two bartenders deserve all the kudos!! I will be back for more disco lemonades“

“The Detroit Pizza is 🔥🔥🔥. A bunch of old punks hanging out. what more could ya ask gore. 👍👍“

“We visited here at the end of a bicycle ride from Manhattan and had the best time!! The bartender was fabulous, we even learned about a new drink (to us) called Fernet-Branca. We so enjoyed meeting Serena, King, and Edward - so if you're out there hit us up! It was a magical evening 🥰“

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

“The new best place in town!“

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

“My wife and I went out for dinner for our Anniversary. Very diverse menu...everything tasted great. Server was super pleasant and helpful. Noise level in the dining room was a little high since it looked to be a baseball team there with their families eating after their game! Will definitely go back and also try their take-out pizza side next time“

“I stopped in while in Albany for a business trip. I grabbed a bottle of their rye whiskey after they were so kind to give me a sample. I wished I'd had time to stay for a bit, because the atmosphere was great. I also wish I'd grabbed another bottle. Very good whiskey!“

“Better than ever, great menu, excellent staff“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“We had our book club here and it was fantastic. The upstairs room is so beautiful and stylish. The food was DELICIOUS and very unique. Highly recommend the biscuit flight and whipped ricotta. Cocktails were fresh takes on old classics. Staff was very gracious. I can’t wait to come back for dinner!“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“friendly bartenders, clean bar & affordable drinks!“

“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?!?“

“Great little cozy bar that shares space with an equally great pizza/Italian food restaurant( Manor House)The eatery has fresh housemade rolls for their hot/ cold subs and have dinners & pizza
The bar is great with excellent prices.
Customer service for both are awesome!“

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

“Shelby and the staff at HiFi are fantastic whether it’s the little things like remember your usual drink, making great conversation, or having to come in the next morning because you forgot your card (dope!)

The drinks are great, the times are fantastic, the tunes are always on point and it just adds up to a fantastic experience. It’s become my go to bar in Albany!“

“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!“

“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!“

“great service, good food, friendly clientele“

“My sisters and I went there to try it out and we had an amazing experience! The staff was so friendly. Our food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!!! The owner even came over and said hello!“

“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!“

“Outside of this place.. Not such a beautiful part of Troy.. Inside, definitely a vibe. Its sweet and homey, the waiter was an absolute doll, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely advise making a reservation because they do clearly book up fast. My only nit pick is that did take a bit for the food to come out.. We got the appetizer at the same time as our entre but we at least were still on time for our event we were going to.“

“Silver Slipper is the building that my grandfather bought way back in the 30's

“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!“
