Outstanding atmosphere!! Great drinks, good food and fast service. Dog friendly. You can seat yourself and a server comes right to you with menus. Always a good vibe and there is even live music on Friday nights! I recommend ordering the 151 rum punch if you’re looking for a refreshing and delicious cocktail!

Very disappointed in the food will not be back.

Awesome food, and nice outside seating with the occasional band. 151 is a good time.

From the moment I walked into 151 Bar and Restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. The atmosphere is welcoming and stylish, striking the perfect balance between casual and sophisticated. The lighting, decor, and music set a relaxed yet vibrant tone, making it ideal for both a night out with friends or a romantic dinner.

The food? Absolutely outstanding. The menu offers a wide range of options, each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I highly enjoy the Beer, Boneless and Bros atmosphere. Every bite was a delight.

The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. It’s clear they care about their customers' satisfaction.

What really sets 151 apart, however, is the impeccable combination of food, drink, and ambiance. Whether you're there for a casual drink at the bar or a full dining experience, it’s an unforgettable place to spend your time. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

My husband and I visited 151 on a Saturday night. It had a good crowd but wasn’t overly packed—plenty of open seats, and it’s a seat-yourself kind of vibe. Service was a little slow, but nothing terrible.

I was hesitant about what to order after reading some of the reviews, but I went with the chicken quesadilla, and my husband ordered both the naked wings and the hot honey wings. The wings were the star—especially the naked ones, which had a great base flavor. The hot honey added a nice kick, and we’d definitely get those again.

We also tried a couple of drinks. I had the rum punch, which was flavorful but light on alcohol. It's not a traditional rum punch—it’s made with Bacardi fruit-flavored rums, so expect a fruity twist rather than the usual Caribbean-style mix.

Overall, it’s a nice spot to hang out. I imagine the energy picks up with a larger crowd. We’d come back, especially for the wings!

151 is such a great spot with unbeatable prices! You can’t find a $3 beer anywhere these days—even during happy hour—so this was a pleasant surprise while grabbing a drink in the area. The service was attentive and kind, which I really appreciated.

I ordered the Bubbly Shirley and it was super tasty! We’re already looking forward to coming back next time we’re in town—and this time, we’ll definitely try the food. I spotted a burger from across the room and it looked fantastic! A top-notch sports bar for sure—can’t wait to come back!

Foolish mistake ordering a pizza ! $22 for a sloppy margarita pizza is outrageous. I wish I read the reviews before ordering.
Atmosphere is great !
As Portney said “take the pizza off the menu”.

serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.

Bartenders ignore you.
Felt like a college kid scene. Which isn't bad regardless of age if you are simply trying to enjoy an beverage at the end of your evening.
We walked out after several minutes of standing there looking foolish waiting for service

The food was absolutely disgusting. the spinach artichoke dip….. my girl could’ve made it better homemade. It was pretty gross with absolutely no flavor. And the Caprese salad…cmon now. How can you actually mess up a salad? NO FLAVOR AT ALL and very WET lettuce. The kitchen should be ashamed for a Schenectady establishment.

Ordered a burger and a few beers. The burger was cooked perfectly and it was delicious, tasty, thick and very juicy. Beer was also served nice and cold. The service was also very good and quick.

Ambiance is a bit cool but my god the food is terrible. Pictured is their $22 margarita pizza. In the words of Portnoy, just take it off the menu. Dominos and papa John’s have better pizza.

This review is purely to help this establishment, apologies in advance.

We walked in and the bartender, host/servers and cooks just stared (open kitchen). We asked if we should sit ourselves and was told, yes. No other tables sat, maybe 8 ppl at the bar.

We sat for another 2 min before I got up and asked for menus. The server then was friendly and offered food and drinks. Drinks came out slow and food was bad. Like out of a bag and no love, I don’t mind frozen product but garnish, sauce, butter anything helps look like there is some love.

After we realized we know the server through family, she was sweet and nice the whole time but I think someone failed her on training, not her fault but the establishments as she is very young.

We left and made eye contact with bartender, no goodbye. Got in our car and made eye contact again and she laughed…really not sure it was about me but sure felt like it.

Someone please train the staff to be welcoming and be prompt especially when the place is empty. Smiles go a very long way to.
