Kid-friendliness: Toys and coloring pages for the children“

“We hosted our wedding at Albany Distilling and I can not speak highly enough of our experience. Natalie was amazing to work with and the staff were wonderful day of. All of our guests could not stop talking about the drinks, staff, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend for any event!“

“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!“

“If you have not been to this amazing pub, you're missing out! Sue is amazing, and so is all the rest of the staff there. The food is great, the atmosphere is amazing and the prices are cheap on everything. I absolutely love playing at this venue. I honestly wish we could do it weekly and be their house band.“

“We were in the area and searched for nearby restaurants and were not disappointed, the food was AMAZING! Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!“

“great service, good food, friendly clientele“

“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!“

“One of the most relaxing spots to grab a beer in the entire Capital regions. No frills -- a bar, a dartboard and a couple TVs. So the essentials are covered, and then past that you have an awesome craft beer selection and a couple things that separate it from other beer bars. One, everything comes in a 10oz or 20oz glass. The former is great if you wanna try a few things, the latter for staying a while. Two, they have three casks. Old Mahar's regulars will remember what that's like. And with the casks, they keep a lot of English and Scottish beers that other local spots don't. Basically, this is a beer-drinkers laid-back paradise.“

“Well if you know, you know.“

“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.“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“I've been to the newly opened Washington Tavern three times now and have had a great experience every time! The cocktails were great, tons of beers on tap, and the food was SO good! They were also extremely accommodating of our dietary restrictions, including gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. The service was friendly and attentive, the vibe is great, and I'm already planning to go back!

Dietary restrictions: Were happy to accommodate our group's restrictions, which included gluten, dairy, soy, and tree nuts.

Parking: We usually park on the street, but there's also a lot behind.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front entrance seems fully accessible“

“We had a chance to play there a month or so ago and we had an absolute blast. The staff was super friendly and the crowd was awesome too! We can't wait to rock out there again.“

“Great celebration! Awesome band of 3 great local legends!“

“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“

“Good place to hang great bar tenders! There's one dude that hangs out there around lunch time that is very negative and thinks he owns the bar. He will not allow you to play certain music I'll just have to go when he's not there“

“love Brenda ❤️ best bartender“

“Steak Night on Thursdays. FANTASTIC steaks and a great value, comes with potato and salad. My wife gets the clams, which I’m told are great. Staff is very friendly, Service was excellent, drinks were never empty.“

“awesome atmosphere, great bartenders“

“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.“

“Amazing Spot“

“great place for a cold one“

“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!“

“Been coming here since before they changed ownership. They maintained the charm of the bar while adding some much needed upgrades. Food is great, drinks are cold and affordable. All the bartenders I've encountered have been friendly and make an effort to get to know you.“

“The Food is excellent!! Try the calzone.“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

“I have nothing to say bad or good about this bar I came to sing some KARAOKE yet I went to late to put a song in and I also wanted to try the food yet the bar was so packed couldn't even get a soda back to back people , I know now I need to get there early enough to do what was planned, i will get back with this review when or If i plan to go back“

“Long time customer of Home Style. Have been to The Ritz a few times since the renovation. Came with the family, including the 4 year old. No reservation, but very accommodating. Nicole was wonderful and tended to our daughter well (which let us enjoy the evening).
Food allergies were an issue with our part, but well addressed and they felt very safe. Drinks, food, and service were excellent. Timing was great and the price was very fitting the quality of the food.

Happy to return.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Fast and delicious lunch!! I will be back !!!!“

“I recently visited this old college bar on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised to find it open with a new owner at the helm. As someone who frequented this spot back in the day, I have to say, I was nostalgic walking through those doors again.The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and it felt like a blast from the past. While the bar may have changed hands, the spirit of the place remains the same. What truly made my night memorable was the bartender—who was not only super dope but also added to the vibe with their friendly demeanor and excellent service.It's clear that there's potential for this bar to come back to life like it was 10+ years ago. With the right vision and dedication from the new owner, I have high hopes for its revival. I'd love to see it become a go-to spot once again, where old memories are cherished and new ones are made.Here's to the future of this beloved establishment!“

“Great service. Wonderful, casual atmosphere and yummy food!“
