42 Best Pubs near Watervliet

“This place is really chill and the bathrooms are always clean. Never seen a fight or large noisy crowds here. If you are 25 and older and just want to listen to some music and talk with your friends this is the place to go! Never tried any food here, I actually don't know if they have food, but it is the perfect hang out spot!

Parking: There are places to park right out front, no garage. But this place isn't usually jam packed so there should be enough room to park.“

“Love it there! My favorite bar in Watervliet“

“Great atmosphere, food is always on point. I will definitely be back.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. The hamburger came out and was massive and the homemade fries hit the spot. The mac & cheese across the way on someone else’s plate amazing also that will be my next try here. I highly recommend the Black Bear Inn to everyone“

“I was on the hunt for a Garbage Plate in my new home of the Capital Region; this is the only place I could find one on the menu...and I looked all over. I spent way too much time toiling with the prospect of not being impressed by a plate 200+ miles from Rochester. In my head, I said to myself, there are plates in Rochester that don't even impress; why should I give the time of day to someone so far removed? It took me over two years to finally pull trig. In retrospect, I am kicking myself. Portions aside, the plate here is absolutely fantastic, like wtf. The meat sauce seems to keep the obligatory warmth of nutmeg and cinnamon, but has a delicate spice that absolutely delights in its own way. The mac salad lights up my tongue with the zest of celery and the home fries give me the crunch that I deserve. The burgers are the greasy vessel that I have come to expect, but offer much more cohesion than a typical plate. I am barely exaggerating when I say this might be Top 2 plates of my lifetime. Couple that with an awesome atmosphere and an amazing happy hour and you've got gold. Thank you guys for scratching my itch.“

“We love the RB, going there, the music, etc. Food is very good, great pizza. Recently did take out of 2 melts, delicious. Couple things though... 1) really really irks me when anyone i'm paying doesnt say thanks, thank you, etc. It was take out, I even gave a nice tip. Say thank you - goes a long way. 2) fries were Ok, not great, pasty and just eh, 3) salad greens were disgusting. Inedible, tasted like they were in dirty water, and 4) parking lot was thrashed. this was sat, so cleanup from friday should've been done. Empty bottles, cans, etc. Gross. We'll go back, but it will be a bit.“

“Parking is usually easy to find on the street when I stop here. The bar has a clean and inviting atmosphere. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. The cocktails are always good. I love that they have one or two hard ciders on tap. There are plenty of beers on tap to choose from.
The bar food is always spot on. Fresh and tasty. Plus I enjoy the rotating seasonal food offerings.
There are games upstairs to explore.
In cooperating weather the patio is nice to take advantage of.
I enjoy meeting my friends here for some good laughs, drinks and food.“

“*Green Book Safe*

I was immediately greeted and my order was taken.

Very courteous & professional. I was slightly early before the kitchen was open, yet was still proffered a menu.

One local behind the bar even provided insight to my newcomer experience.

Based on today's interaction, I would return and recommend.“

“We (six of us) loved our dinners at Smiths earlier this month and our waiter, Jeff, did a superb job for a busy night after a Cohoes Music Hall show. Appetizers were also excellent and we enjoyed them at that fantastic bar!!“

“uwielbiam to miejsce i gorąco polecam ,przemiła obsługa i fantastyczne jedzenie“

“Better than ever, great menu, excellent staff“

“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.“

“We had a retirement party for my husband in the banquet room downstairs. Highly recommend. Very bright, nicely decorated, private, and kid friendly. Joan their event coordinator was absolutely amazing from beginning planning to end. Great to work with. She made the evening so stress free. We hope to have more events in the banquet room.“

“Great atmosphere great girls with great outfits! Accommodating owners“

“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!“

“When we visit Clifton Park NY we always make it a point to come to Otis and Oliver’s! It is always a delicious meal! The staff is always nice!“

“Fantastic experience earlier this month having Sunday Brunch with my son and our American cousins at Lost & Found. This place is great! The real America, in Albany, away from the well-beaten tourist tracks. Friendly service, great menu, tasty food, and the proprietor is a gent - even let us get group photos on the stage as he hadn’t a band at the time! It was a wet Sunday but we just had a great family get together inside. Not that far from the city centre and worth finding. Very good value as well.“

“Lionheart is solid but I definitely see the draw backs of it. Lot of reviews complain about the food offerings or lack there of and staff. I’ve enjoyed the few times I’ve been there but I do agree it’s more of a local vibe I wouldn’t come here if I was from out of town. There are great dart boards and a pool table as well. Spacious upstairs and many bars tops up there as well.“

“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“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food and cocktails“

“Great food! Amazing service!“

“Was there with the gf last night we both got the cowboy mac and moose sticks was the best mac and cheese I’ve had yet“

“Just had date night and have absolutely nothing bad to say! Brian served us and he was knowledgeable and knew the menu well. The food was cooked professionally, there was no feeling of “another chain restaurant “ it was delicious! Cocktails were nice, presentation was good. It was everything we needed tonight!“

“Finding the BEST Mozzarella sticks and Melba sauce in the capital region continued ...

Today I have Graney's Bar & Grill in Albany

As always I called in to order and it was ready within 15 minutes.

These were huge and they were good. Was hot and fresh upon pick up.
Seasoned well. Beautiful cheese pull .
I just wish they fried them a little longer. Also wish there was a lil more raspberry sauce.

They were definitely good, I would say above average.

SCORE
Taste: 8/10
Texture: 7/10
Cheese pull : 10
Total: 25/30

PS: all my reviews will be pick up order based 🙃“

“Every bartender is chill, good music, great drinks, lovely patio space! Open in the afternoon so I have somewhere to chill and have a drink outside, open late nights so I can dance, sing, and party. Pool table and darts as a bonus. A staple on Lark street for sure!“

“this is very very bad service and not response and bakwas“

“I personally don't come here for the food. Generally is ok, but very bland all things considered.
If it's your birthday they give you a 2 liter glass boot of beer. It says $40 deposit, but they just hold onto the B-Day persons license. (Worth well over $40, but much better than a hold on your card.)
They have a great beer selection and prices aren't too bad. There is a dart board wall, plenty of seating on the average day.

The staff here is excellent, they are the real reason to come back. They have a great report with each other and it makes the experience that much smoother. When the bartenders and security are having a good time. So is everyone else.

Would return, likely not for food though.

Vegetarian options: Some apps.“

“Good vibes great service Good food awesome drinks great place to hang with friends and have some good times“
