First time trying Beer Bones and unfortunately we won't be back.
Starting with positives, the place is CLEAN! No dust or grime in sight. Dim lighting with casual seating and somewhat busy for a Thursday night. Very cozy even with board games available.
The server was also attentive and polite and knowledgeable. I didnt know what drink I wanted but I described what I liked and he found me the perfect beer. Also kept us with us regularly throughout the night while busy. A great server and bartender.
The food is where things went wrong. We ordered the appetizer pretzel with beer cheese and my fiancé got a Beer Bones Cheesesteak which he enjoyed except for the small portions and maybe a bit more cheese. I got the bacon bleu cheese burger and both entrees came with what tasted like tostito chips straight out of the bag. The burger had one strip of bacon with a bleu cheese sauce that had zero essence of bleu cheese. It was also kind of cold and soaked entirely in grease which is normally great for burgers. Except this grease had an aura of frozen patty. The cheesesteak was finished because it was only half a hoagie and lightly loaded, reportedly passable flavor but small portion. The pretzels were good and the beer cheese was flavorful but lightly mixed and needed a little help fully melding. I took a few bites of the burger but admittedly couldn't finish it to the point we didnt need to go boxes. My fiancé also got sick the next day at work so take that as you will. All in all the atmosphere, servers and options are on point especially with the bar. The kitchen needs a little help with execution. Fantastic place to drink and hangout, not a great dinner date.

The staff were awesome. Great service. Food was delicious and was served in a timely manner. Considering there were quite a few people there. If I wasn't just vacationing, I would make that a weekly stop for dinner.

Doesn’t work when they say they’re open on Google and you get there and they’re closed tighter than a drum. What, the bartender wanted to close early? We’re here at 6:30 PM, Google says it closes at 8 PM. We can see people inside, but they’re closed.

Cool place but they appeared to be understaffed the night I was there. Food was slow to come out and the only way to get drinks was to go to the bartender who was very nice but overworked

We dont drink beer so no review on that. Service was good, bartender was taking care of us. He was friendly and efficient even though he was busy.

Tucked into a strip mall/plaza, this place offers good stout options and yummy brick oven pizza. Also love the burrata appetizer. The place is never full, and I’ve gone early afternoon and evening. Had some chats with the chef and bartender, both seem great. I e noticed some patrons come in just to access the beer in the cooler in the back to take home.

Definitely a hidden gem! Alexis our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable and steered us in the right direction! We had hot wings (crispy, sauce), and the blue cheese sauce was great. The hot honey pepperoni pizza is what dreams are truly made of. It was out of this world delicious!! Will be back!!

Water was great! Pizza was bad. Waited an hour for appetizers and our meal.

A breath of fresh air... in a world of preservatives ... this small venue offered a unique and fresh spin on some wonderful classics... highly recommend! Great date night, relaxed/casual atmosphere, and friendly staff!
Honey and I visited for lunch post holiday. Our bartender was engaging, knowledgeable, and very efficient. I tried a drink special, Gingerbread Martini. I don't ordinarily order such drinks, and it was delicious. Honey ordered Hot Honey Pizza which was declared excellent. I ordered a lunch special, seared sesame tuna over seaweed salad. I couldn't stop saying "oh my God "! Next trip back to Albany will definitely include a visit.

Went to Beer Bones Taproom for some drinks and dinner and was genuinely blown away by the quality of the food and drinks. My boyfriend knows way more about beer than I do and loved the menu. I ordered an old fashioned which was perfection. But check out these sandwiches. The first was a tuna steak sandwich with wasabi and veggies. The tuna was cooked to perfection. My sandwich was a portobello with peppers and chevre. The chef shared that the kitchen is undergoing some changes so the menu is limited to appetizers, salads, and burgers/sandwiches but he should be adding more soon. Definitely going back.
