Great time with really good food. One room (to the right when you come in) is very noisy but the other room is fine. Clean. Friendly staff. Reasonable food prices.

Ryan's Wake is a typical college bar; however, it secretly goes far beyond that. They have created a space in the back of their premises that can be reserved for private parties and gives the feel of renting out an entire historic bar for your event. The fees are very reasonable, and the packages are designed to easily do the math in order to price out tickets or figure out your total. The food is exceptional; trendy and flavorful. Nothing weird, but not boring. The packages have multiple options that help you to create a menu that works best for you. The staff is also amazing. Very caring and attentive. Emily was wonderful to work with and AJ is a great bartender with a lot of knowledge. A large container of ice water sits at the end of the bar to help folks stay hydrated while sipping. Drink prices are also very reasonable. In addition, there is a back deck which is accessible to the entire crowd, but it has a great view of the Hudson and the Green Island Bridge all lit up at night. If you are looking for a great venue for your event AND with decent parking options for a downtown location, this is it.

I expect a burger in a pub to be top notch. It wasn’t. The fries were nothing to write home about either.

We did a class reunion for approximately 80 classmates, and I can't say enough positives about the venue. The staff from the kitchen to the wait staff and the bartenders went above and beyond to ensure our event was perfect all the way around. I would strongly recommend this venue as it was ideal for a social gathering for our all of our classmates. Our entire class is still talking about how great this event was. KUDOS to all of your staff and we will see you at our next reunion.

THANK YOU TO WHO EVER GAVE THE HEART REACTION. I WILL PROBABLY NOT GET CREDIT FOR IT. I TRY VERY HARD IN MY REVIEWS. I AM NOT SURE I WILL WRITE ANY MORE. Yesterday, I visited Ryan's Wake, with my wife. It is a very neat, expansive restaurant pub. There is a main front bar (photo) and a patio bar (photo). The patio is very nice and surprisingly quiet with a picturesque view of the river and the Green Island Bridge . Our waitress, Erin, was very pleasant, upbeat, and attentive. A couple other waitresses stopped by during our stay. My wife had a Margarita, which she liked. I had my usual, a beer and a diet soda. They had a short beer (12 oz.), which is always a plus for me. We both had burgers, which were very good. My wife likes hers medium and it DID arrive that way. I prefer well done, which it was, while still being moist. (Photo - partially eaten- could not help myself). The entire staff was friendly. Chris Ryan (photo), was a pleasure to meet. He was very cordial and amicable. Ryan's Wake has reasonable prices and is worth the trip. We shall return.

We recently held our fundraiser at Ryan's Wake and everything was fantastic. The food was great, the service was great, and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend choosing Ryan's Wake for a fundraiser, dinner, or even just drinks!

The CCHS class of 1985 recently held their 40th reunion at Ryan's Wake. I was one of the organizers. My contact through the entire process was Emily. From day one, Emily made this project so easy for me. I had a question...she answered it. I had a special request...she came through for me. She was always organized, upbeat, and so easy to work with. I can't thank Emily and the staff that worked that night enough.

The comments made after the party by grads who attended: ALL POSITIVE.

We used two rooms for our reunion...THEY WERE PERFECT. Plenty of room, plenty of tables, and a beautiful bar.

IN CONCLUSION: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
