Out of wings by 4pm for Super Bowl! I guess I'll hv to put my order in the day b4 next year. Was looking forward to trying them, I heard they're very good.

Chicken Wings. Hands down, the best around. I used to go to The Ruck, but last time the wings looked like they were from week-old chicks. Never seen wings so tiny. I've gone to the Ale House ever since...as a lone patron, never felt weird. I recommend the Hefeweizen to pair.

Love this staple in Troy. The best wings by far. The only thing I can complain about is the draftiness. When the heat is on it is warm but the minute it turns off it gets a little chilly. It will not stop me from coming back though!

I had the Friday special, fish fry sandwich. It came with a copious amount of fries and cole slaw on the side. I couldn't finish everything.

Went for lunch with friends. Great wings and good conversation with the bartender.
The wings are amazing. They have them down to a science.

Besides having the best chicken wings in all of NY including buffalo (unless you like them all bread batteries and covered in boss sauce). Everyone in there from the customers to the staff is cordial and friendly. The food is great , the beer is delicious. It's a one of kind, not to be missed old style tavern. Go there! You won't regret it.

Amazing. I was passing through and staying the night and looking for a local establishment with good food and saw the reviews for this place. I was staying at a local hotel and decided to walk. I got halfway there and didn't feel real safe in the neighborhood (and bad areas don't usually bother me), so I retreated and decided to drive. I found a spot near the front door so all was good. The building is amazing. Old. Old old. Character oozing out of every cracked brick. Walking in the front door, it's the type of place where all the local townies sit at the bar and all heads turn when an unfamiliar face walks in. Don't let that stop you. The place was slightly smoky. Not from cigarettes but most likely poor kitchen ventilation. The interior is authentically rustic and unimpressive. But then there is the food. I had a burger, sweet potato fries and a Hefeweizen. Best burger ever. Maybe the fries too. It's easy to screw up sweet potato fries. These were perfectly done. The burger had a nice char to the outside. Almost crispy but the inside was perfectly medium. The service was great too despite the same guy being the waiter, server and tending the 7 locals sitting at the bar and I'm pretty sure he cooked my meal too. This place gets my highest recommendation despite the sketchy neighborhood nearby. To be fair, the area right around the restaurant seemed fine. It was the neighborhood between there and my hotel that seemed sketchy. Eat here. It's fantastic.
