“Many will know why I give this place 5 stars!! Many won't understand why I gave this place 5 stars....With that being said...You will have to decide....The reason I give it 5 stars is bc I live in this town....but never went to the bars here to drink. I no longer drink but I take my friends to this bar bc to me it's friendly. Salt of the earth people in this town...me included..LOL. It might not seem like they are friendly bc its a small town and you kbow the rest. Drinking a social lubricant...foes just that....people open up when they drink..so just strike up a conversation with anyone....you will be pleasantly surprised!! In the summer all of Albany is buzzing and teaming with tubers and travelers!! This is the most chill bar in town...as far as a know. Bc the people who work there are cool af!!

And you will be charmed by the locals!! I guarantee it!! If bot come find me and we can talk about it....but watchout...Im a charmer!!!😘💖💖💖💖💖“

“Attica Bar offers a lively atmosphere with happy hour specials, live music, and even the option to kayak on the nearby Sugar River. While the food, particularly the pizza and pulled pork nachos, is generally praised, the service can be inconsistent, with some reviewers reporting rude or inattentive bartenders. Despite these service issues, the overall experience at Attica Bar is described as enjoyable, especially during the summer when the patio is open.“

“Came in and they were closing pretty early on a Wednesday (before 10). Classic bar, great place to take folks from out of town, lots of story's and local color. The documentary is coming soon. For those nearby, best show up after an honest days work.“

“We recently stopped at Bridges Bar and Grill for their Friday Fish Fry and it was the best fish we have had in a long time! We both got the deep fried fish with beer battered french fries and it was seasoned perfectly! Not too greasy and so much flavor. We will definitely be back. The customer next to us ordered a bacon cheeseburger (who does that on a Friday night?!) but the burger looked really good, too! Well done Bridges staff! We highly recommend!“

“Trapper's Bar and Grill serves delicious and fresh food. Their pizzas, such as The Cheesy Pig and Perfect Pickle, are a hit. The bacon burger, Philly, cordon blue pizza, and garlic cheese curds are also highly recommended. The restaurant offers great food, service, and atmosphere.“
