“An awesome brewery with great food, known nationally for their IPA's. All their food is made in house. There is tons of seating but don't let that fool you, they do fill up quick. They have beer types for everyone to include dark, sour, light, IPA, cider and usually host guest taps. The food menu is pretty extensive and also have something for everyone. Parking usually is pretty easy and the customer service is top notch. Highly recommend this as a must stop destination in Albany, NY!!!“

“Went here prior to a concert at Cohoes Music Hall. Service was A+. I ordered a small pizza and it knocked my socks off. One of the best pizzas I've had in a long time! Beer was great too. Best part is never having to "look" or "waive down" your server...they were beyond attentive. Even on a weekend night. Great local biz“

The Warbler Brewery Brewery • $
155 Delaware Ave, Delmar - 3.2 miles

“Okay, listen up – Warbler Brewery. Imagine this: you’ve had one of those days that just drains the life out of you, and all you crave is a good chill spot with even better beer. It’s not just a brewery; it’s my little urban escape, a place where the beer flows as freely as the conversations.Walking into Warbler feels like coming home – It’s got this welcoming warmth that wraps around you, making it the perfect backdrop whether you’re looking to unwind solo with a beer in hand or catch up with your friends over a couple of rounds.Now, let me rave about the beers because, oh boy, they’re something else. Warbler has this knack for hitting you with the familiar favorites while still surprising you with something new every time you visit. Their seasonal brews? Absolute must-tries. It’s like they bottled up the essence of each season, giving you new reasons to celebrate no matter the weather.And the people there – they’re the heart and soul of the place. You know how some spots have staff who just go through the motions? Not here. The Warbler crew genuinely wants to know what you think, recommend you something based on what you like, and maybe even share a story or two about the brews. It’s that personal touch that makes each visit special.But what really seals the deal for me is how Warbler stands by its values. They’re all about giving back to the community and keeping things green and sustainable. Knowing that my love for beer is also helping out in some small way makes each sip feel that much better.Every time I walk out of Warbler Brewery, I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Whether it’s for their live music nights, a new seasonal brew, or just a quiet evening to savor a pint, it never disappoints. So, if you haven’t been, trust me, you’re missing out. Warbler isn’t just a brewery; it’s a vibe, a community, and my favorite little corner of the city.“

“This place is great. Excellent food and great service. Not over priced but not cheap. They really did a great job with eat in the street. Too bad Cohoes limited that so much because it was a great thing for Cohoes restaurants. Definitely my go to on Remsen St.“

Mean Max Brew Works Troy Taproom Bar • $
251 River St ste 102, Troy - 6.37 miles

“I've been coming to Mean Max since the Marie days. When they said they were opening a second location in Troy I was skeptical that they would be able to replicate the special place that is Mean Max. But they managed to out do themselves - starting with a proper, larger, sign. Next they placed this tap room right on Monument Square so there are great restaurants around. The tap room is brighter than Glens Falls on account of windows front and back and has its own vibe...but the beer and great customer service is the same. Well...for the most part. They do have a special lager exclusive to this location (quick tip - look up their Glens Falls venue to see the menu at either location). Staff is always friendly and the beer has great variety - of which they all do well. Definitely a place to stop and visit.“
