“I’ve found my “Cheers!”
Yes I’m showing my age with that reference - 80’s babyyyy - but this dive bar is IT!
This place has some of the best cocktails I’ve had, easily rivaling overpriced drinks in Manhattan - shout out to Tom!
If you have no idea what you want to drink, no worries, talk to the bartenders, they’ll help you, might even whip up something creative on the spot.
Monday nights belong to Brian the bacon guru, baby I eat pork again when I roll up here on a Monday (I pay for it later too, well worth it, lol).

The patrons are some of the most diverse and amazingly chill group of folks I’ve encountered since moving from the multicultural NYC life - Bx to be exact - to the parts up yonder.

The owner, Joe, is one of the kindest humans, and honey like attracts like, because his team definitely match his energy, they are hands down, some of my favorite people up here! Special shout out to Victoria & Corrine ❤️!

When you go, chill hard, enjoy big, and tip OD!“

“Believe the hype! Casey Finn’s delivers for service, the finest Miller High Life and Jameson whiskey, and I heard that the Ruebens on St Patrick’s Day are the jam.Was sincerely hoping for the rumored bartender vs customer fight (see review from a few years ago), but despite a brief genuine moment of concern (“are you ladies lost?”), we made friends and will be back.“

“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. This place has good vegan options as well. The Dirty Little Birdy signature cocktail may be the best drink I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it. Coming back on Friday!“

“Ordered from Uber eats. Actually read what they are trying to do and I loved it. Cheap meals that are extremely tasty. I just got the chicken curry and it's seasoned very well. The spice was great for me but for some it could easily be to much. If you ever have to turn it down for a broader reach please keep an option for the original.“

“Whenever I fly out of Albany Airport, I always stop by Hudson's for a pre-flight drink. I've consistently had positive experiences—friendly bartenders and quick service every time. It's also conveniently located near most of the airlines I fly with, which makes it an easy stop. I haven’t tried the food yet, so I can’t speak to that, but I definitely recommend grabbing a drink here if you’ve got a little time before your flight!“

“I have nothing to say bad or good about this bar I came to sing some KARAOKE yet I went to late to put a song in and I also wanted to try the food yet the bar was so packed couldn't even get a soda back to back people , I know now I need to get there early enough to do what was planned, i will get back with this review when or If i plan to go back“

“Juan was excellent! The food is fresh. Portions are generous. This is like eating Souhern California Mexican food, never had that on the East coast. This is worth trying if you love Mexican food. Great atmosphere, great seating. So if your looking for quality with a great vibe. Look no further....“

“great food nice people love the place“

“lovely atmosphere with delicious gourmet American cuisine. it was a lovely new year dinner. staff very friendly“

“Out of town working, read the reviews, previous review guy walks out because Fox News was on. I was all in. I wish there was more of him around. makes my visit that much more enjoyable . if you are looking for food this is the wrong place. If you’re looking to drink and hang out and have a good time, this is it. Darts pool, Jamison and Guinness and other beers but no Bud Light. Locals are extremely friendly ,met several new friends on the first visit“

“Very Good Spot Eat, the entire bourbon crew is great. Sara stuck out to me, I asked her the special and she made sure the Caesar Salad had no tomatoes which is great because I dislike them. Overall I’d give Sarah a 10/10 for service and making sure my order was correct. Thank you to the entire Bourbon Crew 💯“

“Great place! Great food, Great atmosphere! really can not go wrong! flavorful, tasteful, and just all around fantastic! highly recommend to people!“

“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.“

“Delicious food, fair prices, friendly staff. Always a good experience.“

“Pizza is great here, try and enjoy. Order in advance as it takes time to bake.“

“Recently went out to dinner with a friend that loves chips and guac as much as I do. Neither of us had been to the restaurant in Altamont so we were excited to share a new experience together.

Before I even left, I was planning my next visit. The service was so friendly. The food delicious. One of my favorite guacamoles I’ve had. The sangria was light and refreshing, went down a little too easy.

We each ordered three tacos à la carte to create our own platter but I’d recommend adding a taco trio to the menu. Also the Al pastor was too spicy for my palate but to be fair i truly have no tolerance for spice.

Lastly for my fellow parents, their kids meals are $5.99!!!

What I ordered:
🍷 Sangria
🥑 Guacamole Casero
🌮 Tacos: Carne Asada, birria , Al pastor“

“I’ve been coming here since 1992 and every time I’m in Upstate Albany New York. I have to make a pit stop.
I loved how welcoming this place felt. The menu had plenty of options, and everything I ordered tasted great. It's the kind of place you stumble upon and then keep returning to. It's more than just a dining spot; it's a true local gem, a place that, once discovered, inevitably draws you back with its unwavering charm and consistently delightful offerings.“

“I came here a few weeks ago to see Andrew Dismukes and we had such a great experience! This is an excellent venue for a comedy show. The venue is large and spacious, and it was easy to see and hear the performance from our seats.

The staff really made the experience even better. Ashley, our server, was incredibly friendly and kind. Jeremy, one of the security guards, was welcoming and excellent at his job. We also had an issue that the manager (I believe her name was Lori or Laura) helped us resolve and she was so kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to find us when she found out we had an issue, instead of us asking for her! It spoke volumes to us that the staff here really cared about our experience enough to seek us out and resolve the issue!!

One thing I really appreciated was that, unlike some comedy venues, there was no requirement to order food or drinks. This makes me as a customer feel more inclined to come back, as I’m not required to order something if I don’t want anything! My group did end up ordering anyway, and everything we had was great, so we were very satisfied. In one of the photos attached, I received a glass with my drink purchase. I am really happy to have it for my bar at home. Additionally, I would’ve loved to take a picture of how large the venue is inside. I don’t like photographing strangers, so I was unable to do so.

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. When we’re back in town next year, we’ll definitely be coming back no matter who’s performing, as our experience was that good!“

“Wait staff was excellent. Both steaks had to be taken back because they were raw, we asked for medium. when they returned with the steaks they were still not medium but we ate them anyways. The sides were 12 to 15 dollars a piece for about two scoops of food. The macaroni and cheese tasted like it came right out of the box and just had cheese sprinkled on it. There really was no flavor to the steaks. I did get the bernaise sauce which had a flavor of honey mustard, terrible. Fancy place but no quality with food. It took over an hour to get our food and we were there when it opened. We always went to the Barnsider and we wanted to try something new. I would have rather eaten at the Barnsider anyday over this.“

“Me and a couple of the boy pulled up to chilis after a long morning of fishing at Henry Hudson park, where we didn’t catch anything. We were down in the dumps, but when we decided to pull up to chilis and walked in, the staff were incredible and got us a table right away. Our server, Rena was incredible, and being the broke high school students we are going to college in August, showed us a ton of things on the menu that helped us out and made our day.“

“Dave & Busters in Albany, NY came in absolutely CLUTCH for us today! I had my son's 6th birthday party booked at Urban Air, but 20 minutes in, everyone had to evacuate due to a ceiling pipe bursting and causing a HUGE mess. Feeling stranded, a guest jokingly mentioned Dave & Busters, and after a couple minutes of thought, we decided to give it a shot. Not only did they accommodate our entire group of people(about 25), we also recieved fantatic service and was able to enjoy the rest of my son's special day. Thank you so much to the staff in Albany, NY today for helping us save this day. We appreciate it so much, and will absolutely return in the future!“

“Went to Junior's yesterday for the NBA game and some MLB games. Service was great, bar was very busy but one of the bartenders Vanessa came right over and got me set up with a drink and a menu. after giving me some time to think she promptly came over and took more order and food came out very quick. food was delicious as always. both bartenders were awesome. I choose to come to Junior's over other bars because the staff always provide the best service and make Junior's a fun place to drink and watch sports. 10/10 experience“

“I went for a party last night.Service was impeccable.The food was good.The wine was cold and the pizza will make me drive forty five minutes just to have it again.“

“The bartender was amazing! And offered “snacks” was a great first time experience for my Puerto Rican friend who doesn’t get out much !“

“The food and service was great. The karaoke was a lot of fun“

“We can’t say enough about this place! My boyfriend and I had our first date here so it’s very special to us. We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us. I went there yesterday; bought a slice of cheesecake and asked if they could put a candle in it and bring it out as a surprise for mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary. Not only did they do this but they also gave us an “anniversary” discount. Thank you for helping us make our special dinners even more special with your cooperation. ❤️“

“Friendly atmosphere good food great service“
