“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”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“This Japanese-themed bar has a fun, lively vibe and a steady crowd of regulars. Seems like we run into familiar faces almost every time we visit. The drinks are reasonably priced, right in that middle ground of cheap and expensive. It’s a small space, but it feels busy, which just adds to the energy. They stay open late (a big plus for us!), and the owner and staff are always incredibly friendly, sometimes even sharing food (thanks for the dumplings) and fun stories! It makes the whole experience feel more like hanging out with friends than just grabbing a drink.”

“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!”

“We stayed at an airport hotel across two parking lots from this restaurant in Albany on a rainy night so Don Tequila was the logical choice. We were pleasantly surprised. It is a popular place with groups, families, dates, older folks and everyone seems to enjoy it. We are from California where we eat a lot of Mexican food and although the food had a different spin, I loved my meal of Tortilla Soup. The broth was delicious, the chicken was succulent and it was loaded with veggies. My husband had chicken mole and he especially liked it with the soft but grainy corn tortillas served with it. All in all the food was inventive and enjoyable. Our server, Deleianna was polite, pleasant, and took care of us. This place is a winner. It is noisy but hey, people are having fun there.”

“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.”

I also highly recommend any dish served with their risotto! It was the best I have had. Spindles is worth checking out!”

“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.”

“Very Good Spot Eat, the entire bourbon crew is great. Sara stuck out to me, I asked her the special and she made sure the Caesar Salad had no tomatoes which is great because I dislike them. Overall I’d give Sarah a 10/10 for service and making sure my order was correct. Thank you to the entire Bourbon Crew 💯”
