I love getting 4 packs to-go from Pint Sized. Often I ask the staff to pick four beers on their own, and I have not been disappointed yet!
This place is amazing! I stopped by to grab a pint AND caught a concert! Would highly recommend becoming a regular or stopping by this gem of an establishment! 🤘🔥🍻
Best bottle shop Ive ever visited. Cool space, retro games and vibes, tasty snacks, with a very large and diverse selection of AMAZING beer. Cherry on top was the extremely knowledgeable and helpful bartender. Wish I lived nearby, would easily return regularly.
Solid selection of beers and friendly/helpful staff. The old school video games and trivial pursuit cards are a fun touch too. I also really enjoy when venues have the menus on Untappd.
Best bar on Lark. I live close by and this is where I bring friends/family when they come to visit. They have tons of good beer, friendly staff, and Mario kart.
Pint Sized is the place to go for craft beers in the center square neighborhood. They make it easy to try unique beers and ciders. A chill atmosphere with constant, fun events and local food pop ups. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Dog friendly.
LOVE it here, the can selection is large and frequently changing and updating.... so getting to-go beers from here is a good idea because they do give you discounts per 4-pack too
Some of the best vibes in Albany can be found here. If youre lucky, there may even be a little bootleg karaoke 👀🎤🤴
Great selection of craft. Street seating is available.
Such a cool/unique bottle shop. Selections are endless and the experts there tailor to your palate. Wish I got the name of one of the guys there, I would give him a personal shout-out. Have a couple beers there or get some to go. This is your beer stop in Albany.
Great people, great times, great atmosphere. Thanks for staying open through these crazy pandemic times and making people happier one pint at a time.
The beer is very handsome man and August is a delicious. Please give Sint Pized your business.
Since I started going here, Ive gone from pint sized to quart sized!
Just a good time overall! Loved the poltergeists
Love the locally-owned bar. The bartenders are all very knowledgeable about the craft beers on tap and in cans. Fun atmosphere and theyre always doing beer-sponsored events and community events. They also have Saratoga Springs location!
The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Great selection of beers on draft and in cans. Always a great place to stop by and stock up for a trip, or just for a Friday night.
This adorable little craft beverage shop includes great beers and ciders and sells growlers! They have a small range of coffees and a very very large range of beers - enough to keep you tasting for years. Given the space they have, theyve made a great effort to display as many beers as they can, and it looks like more than 100. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a few soft drinks, some coffee accessories and also beers on tap, in cans and in bottles. Its a great addition to the neighborhood.
Great beer selection, good atmosphere. Bar tenders are always nice and informative on all the beer on the menu. Stay and have a few or buy some beer to go as they double as a bottle/can shop. They also offer a great rewards program for customers to get some money back on what you spend. they have some through back oldschool vidoegames to veg out on as well which I love. If you love craft beer and are in albany I recommend stopping in and checking it out.
Great beer selection that rotates between high end craft breweries. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to give free tastes so you can get the right beer. Definitely worth stopping in
I enjoyed an evening drinking here with some friends and family. While not a huge place, the bar has a wide selection of local beers on tap, tons more cans, friendly service, and, if you head over to the side room, classic video games to pay for free. The bar doesnt really have any food apart from a simple microwaved pretzel, so eat before hand. Drafts are in the $5-$10 range, hovering around $7 for most beers.
Awesome staff, they knows beer. They dont make me feel bad about not knowing as much as they do about beer.
Great place to grab a beer and casually meet with friends. The new location is much roomier with places to sit. Theres always a nice selection of craft brews on tap, plus tons of options in cans.
This bar is bigger than the name would have you believe. With a large beer list youll probably find something to like. However they dont have a printed list, only the mounted tv menus with rather small script. The bartenders were not helpful to figure out the wide variety of beer, so we ended up going with the recommendation of another patron. The beer was fine, good even, but the service was not helpful, and the atmosphere was a bit hipster-broey
Fave place on lark, staff and beer selection are always great!
Atmosphere is chill, staff are friendly and knowledgeable and beer selection is exceptional. 🤙🏼
Great neighborhood specialist craft beer bar with 10+ taps and a fantastic selection of rotating cans. To keep things interesting they have vintage video game consoles in the back room and frequent events, including costume parties and even “jock jams.” Fantastic addition to Lark Street.
Great selection of beers. Comfortable.Consistent. Highly recommended for an easy time.
Great Owner. Family Man. Always stepping up and innovating. Great business.
A nice break for a pint outside during these “interesting “ times
Awesome beers on tap, mostly local! Great outdoor seating with a view of the goings on of Lark St. Love it and enjoy going back each time I can.
Ariana is the best bartender in the CapDistrict! This bar is super low-key, hip but not bougie. Great New England craft can selection. Board games and old school Super Nintendo and Genesis for the win.
Amazing selections but the prices are just simply too high. I know I can get the same beverages at a better prices. However, their canned section is probably the most robust I have seen in Albany. If I cant find what I am looking for else where I will shop from here, otherwise there are better deals to be found.
Excellent vibe, super nice staff, very cool place to hang out.
This is a really cool place but the beer is pretty expensive. Lots of good microbrew on tap. They have retro games in the back like Sega Genesis
Stopped in here while touring Lark street and had an awesome time getting acquainted with the area from the person working here. Awesome variety of options on the menu, and definitely the type of place I can see myself becoming a regular at.
Eclectic selection of craft beer. Nice selection of local cider also. The prices are a little high but this is a niche store so its understandable.
Previously, the bottle shop on Lark. High quality beer selection. Take cans home to go. Play Sega or SNES while youre there. Also serves kombucha. Can be a bit pricey.
Great craft beer selection on tap, in cans, and to go. Bartenders were very helpful and the space is fun. Prices are reasonable.
Just visited the store to get a few different IPAs. Super friendly guy let me try a few beers he has on tap to fill growlers. A nice addition to Lark.
I like beer. They have really good beer.
Great small local bar and bottleshop with 12 microbrews on tap at all times and dozens of options in cans and bottles. The bartenders are always very friendly!
Love that’s it’s strictly beer. And local/craft beer at that! Decent prices
Place is great. Games, wide and delicious section to choose from, and they allow doggos. My pup enjoyed it greatly. As did I.
Love this place. Good prices good beer good time!
Decent place with variety of brews and patrons. Patrons seem pretty friendly and so are service personnel.Strongly recomended to stop by for a cold one.
The tap is pricier than most bars, but worth it, considering the selection in the coolers and the atmosphere. Also notably dog-friendly.
Fun place to hang out with friends, grab a drink, and play some retro video games.
Great community hang with a good vibe and a variety of quality brews.
Really cute bar that offers a great selection of drinks and fun events. Worth a visit!
Fantastic beer selection. And stump town cold brew! Thank you for being there for me!
Awesome beer selection for the area (lark st). Will special order beer you want upon request.
Trendy place. Average age 25-35 yrs. High ABV selection. Heavily weighted towards IPAs.
Great beer and friendly staff. A little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.
Pint sized is sofa king awesome I wish I could be there erry day but Im broke
This place is really fun and the staff is really friendly.
Great store to get beer. They are very knowledgeable, are more than happy to help out, and have a great selection.
Solid selection of beer, coffee and other specialty offerings. Great customer service and all around cool shop.
Great place. Yes. Love the place. Its really good.
A welcome addition to the lark street area and downtown albany in general, where canned and bottled craft beer was previously unavailable

2021-12-14This is by far my favorite bar in Albany. The bartenders are so friendly and know exactly what type of drink I want as soon as they see my face. I think of this bar as a safe space and the bartenders as friends. Definitely check them out if you’re in the area

2022-05-31Not much to say other than good beer options and can take home and create a custom 4 pack. Just be prepared to pay the price is all.
Review №5
2021-12-14Always a priority stop when I’m in albany. Get a growler fill, and if you’re overwhelmed by options/looking for a certain price point ask the bartender—they’ll take care of you! I’ve learned all sorts of new brewing companies and types of beers here. A great place to hang out or end the night-and I SO appreciate them checking vax cards now. Makes it easier to relax and enjoy knowing all the patrons are vaccinated!

2021-12-14Relaxed atmosphere to hang out and have a beer. Growlers available and generally a good selection on tap. Summers are mostly IPAs but they get some good ambers, porters, and stouts in the fall and winter.

2020-03-13One of my new favorite spots to drink beer in the US of A. Seriously folks. Chill bat, dogs allowed, curious and friendly staff and a lot of really, really good beer. Hit this spot twice in a week during my visit to Albany. Will be back.

2018-10-22Really cool, chill place to have a beer-ah w someone else or you and your DOG, bc YES its dog friendly (assuming your dog is friendly and doesnt bark non stop: they do have dog rules posted but are reasonable rules)!!!! They sell 4 packs of your choice to go, but that seemed pretty pricey, prices while drinking in house seemed reasonable for non mass marketed beer, and knowledgeable staff that know the products.

2021-12-14This place is my fav bar in Albany ever since it has opened. Always super chill, everyone who serves is extremely friendly, and I’ve even gone to get some work done there. Best bar in Albany by far.
