Great spot for food and drinks! A very good menu. Awesome chick parmigiana. Great staff! A very nice relaxed atmosphere. Clean!

Shared space with the betting area next door. Constant yelling from that with poor service and waited over an hour for wings. We were the only people there eating food and came to the place at around 6pm. Had to go to the almost empty bar twice to get refills and service. People there were friendly and kind. Food was mid, also hot wings came out mild. Unimpressed.

After wandering through a horse betting center, I finally found it (no good signage to help find it) and they were closed, despite posted hours saying they would be open.I spent my lunch break trying to find them only to be disappointed by poor management. I can't trust going back to try the food anymore.

Sat outside for a meal and a few drinks. They serve the best cider on tap I have to say. Had a meatball parm and fried pickles, all of which was good. But the server/bartender was so nice, friendly and helpful that she definitely assured my return next time I’m in Albany.

Bartender was hostile, told us she is pregnant and wants no noise in her bar and we should go back to the street where we belong!

Walked here from our hotel across the street and ended up pleasantly surprised. There is ample outdoor seating in the front of restaurant, a long bar, and then tables in a separate room and in the back of the bar area. We ended up at a table in the bar one night, and returned a second night where we sat outside. Both dinners were enjoyable and they have a decently extensive menu for all tastes. Visit 1: Waitress/Bartender was friendly and attentive. The PomRita (upgraded) was super tasty! I got the Cali Wrap which also was very good, along with the waffle fries. Had zero complaints and actually returned a couple hours later for another cocktail while sitting at the bar. People in there were super friendly and although it was a different bartender by then, she was also nice and attentive. Visit 2: Sat on the patio out front and still had great service. Never waited long for drinks or dinner. This night I had a Ceasar Salad with Salmon on top and the salmon was delicious! I had inquired about the amount of dressing on the salad at time of ordering and was told it doesn't typically have too much and the waitress was right, it was the perfect amount where it was not doused in it but did not taste dry. I would definitely go back here as both visits were enjoyable and the food was delicious!

On a crazy Saturday night when all the popular downtown Albany spots were telling our party of three to expect a 30 minutes to an hour wait to be seated due to events at The Palace, MVP Arena, and Empire Live... Victory Sports Cafe saved our plans and were able to seat us in 10 minutes. The place was busy, but moving. The staff were well aware of diners' need to eat and get to their shows, which was appreciated. I had a Caesar Chicken wrap, which sounds humdrum, but it was one of the best wraps I've ever had: big chunks of grilled chicken and what had to be a homemade Caesar dressing, it was accompanied by a good pasta salad, and an excellent pickle slice that was huge. Service was very quick, and our food arrived fast given the crush. The only downside to our visit was no draft beers were available due to an issue with the taps, and the selection of bottle beers was pretty weak. However, we were so glad to finally get a table and to eat that it was very easy to overlook this.

We stopped overnight at the Hampton Inn across the street and wanted a quick bite. Service was great, prices reasonable. The salmon salad was one of the best I’ve had. Chicken wings were good. Would recommend.

Overnighted in Albany. Wanted to eat outside so chose this restaurant. Decent variety of menu options. Beer selection a bit limited for a sports bar. Staff friendly and worked as a team. Food quality variable. Would not be my first choice when come back to Albany again.
