We were in town for the NCAA Regional Men's Hockey games to see Michigan Wolverines play against Bentley Falcons and stopped by this restaurant. It was packed and very busy but the food was delicious. We ordered the cheeseburger and fries and it was excellent!!! Juicy and well cooked - best burger I've had in some time. The other menu items looked good as well. Highly recommend!
Fantastic little spot in the capital region. The woodworking and benched seating give a cozy feel to the space. I had the pleasure of having Eliza as a server, always a pleasure. The place has great food, good vibes, and a friendly staff. I would highly recommend
Went to here after an afternoon of touring the New York Museum and the Corning observation tower. I wish I took pictures of our food, but it was so good I forgot. Servings were enormous! My husband ordered the Brussels & Apple salad with grilled chicken. It was huge- but so good he forced himself to eat it all. I ordered the Kale Caesar with crispy chicken which was equally as big, and just as good. Daughter, my picky eater, got the cheese pizza and loved it. We also got the mozzarella triangles, great, and served with what I think was grape jelly? And now I will always have to eat them that way… also got the fried pickles which were good too. If we are ever back in Albany definitely going to stop here again.
The place is pretty nice, the food’s really good. They have good deals for happy hour.
Great food and atmosphere. We stopped in for lunch and although there was construction going on we found parking. Wings were excellent and we are from Buffalo. Tried the garlic and paramesan wings...
We stopped in here for lunch after our son graduated for ACPHS. The food and service was fantastic! Atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. We sat inside, while outdoor seating was also available. Prices were reasonable. There were 6 of us, we ordered 2 party mimosas and this was just enough.
Had a delicious post-graduation lunch here today. Delicious wings, sandwiches and cocktails and friendly great service from Eliza! Highly recommend!
I came here for the $5 all you can eat focaccia cheese pizza as a dinner date and it was lovely. The pizza was so good and it’s an amazing deal. The only things are that the soda seemed to be watered down quite a bit, and the waitress could’ve come by a little more often to check in on more pizza requests. I highly recommend the his place
City Beer Hall in Albany was a great spot for a night out with our party of six. We were seated at a large, comfortable table that easily fit everyone. The food was solid across the board—we ordered pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, and a variety of appetizers, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. Drinks were excellent, thanks to Carrie at the bar, who clearly knows her craft. The Family Feud game added a fun, interactive element that kept all six of us entertained. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, especially with the fireplace tucked off to the side. A fun, relaxed place to gather with friends or family.
Elizaaaaaa!!! Best. Waitress. Ever. Deserves a raise 🫶🏻 And Carrie, the bartender, makes THE BEST Moscow Mules. Fresh. Refreshing. I had the Bougie fries—crispiest I have EVER had! And the Crispy Chicken Sandwich—chock full o’flavor—was delicious & a Caesar salad. Will DEFINITELY return! Just a 9-minute-walk from our AirBnB on Chestnut Street (visited The Egg on our way)
