I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for a great time. The drinks are always outstanding as well as the music and the atmosphere is crazy good. Very friendly environment, and never miss the Special Events. They are the best. 🍺🍸🍹🍷🥃ENJOY..
This place has such a great atmosphere. It’s our favorite spot for live music.
This is one of the best places we have been to.
The owner is super friendly and the service was great.
I love the Seinfeld Snickers dessert option. Nowhere else can you get a homemade Snickers served Seinfeld style with a knife and fork.
Thanks for a great time.
Any low star review is from a guy trying to bring his newborn into bar during St Patrick's Day. We were there...and what a shameful sight that was.
Stay home and sober with a baby.

Loved the Electric Grinch. Bartender, Jackie, was super sweet and made a great “harvest spritz” she was attentive and a good conversationist. saw good acoustic music too- Jeff Becker. Recommend this joint. Schenectady needed a place like this.

The Electric Grinch has a cozy interior with a dark green color scheme and warm lighting. While the place was bustling due to a street event, we appreciated their accommodating staff once they noticed us. However, the small kitchen proved to be a bottleneck, as it took over an hour for our simple order of two burgers and fries to arrive.
The fries were a disappointment, with a promised signature aioli that was nowhere to be found. While there was some garlic seasoning, it was unevenly distributed. The Electric Grinch burgers were overstuffed, with a soggy bun that crumbled easily. The tomato jam was overwhelmingly sweet, and the burger itself was overly seasoned, tasting more like a meatball. The flavor profile was dominated by the sweet jam, making it difficult to appreciate the other components.
While the staff was friendly and apologetic about the long wait, the food did not meet our expectations. The Electric Grinch may be worth another visit on a less busy night, but we would definitely avoid the Electric Grinch burger.

The fries aren't great but that was absolutely the best burger I've had downtown.

Place is fantastic. Needs a pool table though. All jokes aside, wonderful place to have a drink and watch sports.

Came in and the music was great and the espresso martinis were awesome! When I went to sit outside and was content with just sitting with no fire, the manager came out and turned the fire on for us. Wonderful service, staff, and place. Highly recommend.
