What a blast of a place! Love the vibes and especially the crowd. Such open-mindedness and amazingly diverse peeps. Great service and good food and drink. Seriously, it's all about the people, and from the owners to the crew and customers this is the place to find joy and feel alive.

Really cool spot. I met some friends here for drinks and we were planning to bar hop, But never ended up leaving the Grinch. The patio was nice and the service was on point.

This place is a lot of fun..only been here in the late afternoon for work related events, but the ownership is top notch and they have the coolest front of any bar in the area. Highly recommend!

If you're in Schenectady, the Electric Grinch is a fun time! The light display is impressive and a great way to enjoy a night out. Definitely worth checking out!

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.
