Truly enjoyed the small tavern feel. Leslie, our waitress/bartender was super friendly and fabulous. Food was yummy and pricing was very reasonable. If you want good food without frills, this is the place. Great place to have drinks and food with friends and unwind after a long week.
This bar manages to strike a perfect balance between sports bar and cozy neighborhood joint - enough TVs for those who need to watch their team, but cleverly positioned to be unobtrusive for those who just want to party and socialize. The owner (Lynn) is super-friendly and knows everyone on a first name basis. The bartender (Leslie) is simply delightful and fun to be around, and also gives excellent service. The crowd is all friendly locals and a great mix of young and old. After just a couple of visits you will be part of the family.
I work down the street from this bar and its one of the only options in the area to get food without paying for delivery. I didnt have high expectations because I ordered a cobb salad (who does that at a sports bar??) but I was very pleasantly surprised. It was so good I ordered again on purpose.The staff are very friendly, everything was quick (ordered, picked up, and was eating in the span of 20 mins), and the prices are great. I am working very late in my office tonight so I ordered a veggie burger combo along with my salad this time (I know) and between the two of them I have lunch and dinner for $20 total, including tax and tip.
Great food, great service from the friendly bartender and all the people in the restaurant were extremely friendly (we were from out of town) Plenty of TVs for the games and they really enforce the covid restrictions which i find a plus (its not me i worry about its the others!)
Uptown sports bar with a stylistic edge for happy hour and party guests; home to several softball leagues during the spring and fall seasons, which keeps clientele coming in regularly throughout the week; Lynn is a kick ass owner who really cares about her customers and their experiences; for night owls, get there before the kitchen closes (usually between 10 and 11 PM) and enjoy their generous-size chicken wings!

2021-11-09Come for the drinks, stay for the company! Neighborly bar with friendly locals and a fun atmosphere, as in the whole bar breaks into a rendition of “happy birthday” when a cake with lit candles is brought out. About seven beers on draft. Banquet room in the back with separate unisex bathroom. Parking lot across the street from the main entrance, or one can park streetside after certain hours. In November 2021 the Albany County Libertarian Party hosted Larry Sharpe at this location during his run for New York Governor.

2021-12-03This is a bar for drinkers’ drinkers. Neighborly atmosphere. Friendly and pretty waitresses. Clean bathrooms and wholesome American fare. Parking streetside or in the lot directly opposite the bar. There are a dartboard and a virtual jume box. In November 2021 the Albany County Libertarian Party hosted Larry Sharpe in the backroom during his run for NY Governor….

2022-06-28Happened to stumble upon this place, and I was not disappointed. I was weary at first because it just seemed like a general local bar, but it’s so much more than that! They make really good food!!!

2022-03-06Havent been there since the last time the late Tom Healey Band played there. Was close by for a Dr appointment so I thought Id try some lunch and get some wings to go. Nice special: 1/2 egg salad sandwich and cup of loaded potato soup. Both were very good. And I dont like creamy soups! Wings reheated great in air fryer. Next time I will eat them there like I used to every time I would come to see Tom play.

2021-11-05Great bar. Decent selection of beers on tap and they have pretty much anything else youd want in cans or bottles (liquor selection is also good). Staff is super friendly and on point - bartenders are attentive, fun to chat with and the food always comes out quicker than I anticipate; huge portions and delicious to boot. The free, freshly made popcorn just makes it even better.
