I came here because I saw a nice looking cheesesteak and seeded roll on the news. When I asked the waitress she told me "that was only for the news the seeded rolls" complete false advertising. I would give zero stars if I could disgrace you advertise something on the news you don't even have for your restaurant?

False advertisement of a cheese steak they had on the news. When you walk in to order it, they act like it doesn’t exist. Wouldn’t recommend coming here with all the false

Met here on a Saturday night to hang out with friends. No issues at the door, the DJ was jamming,the place was jam packed and a lot smaller than expected. We managed to get bar seats which was great since it was so crowded and it was five of us. The waitress had great customer service after I brought a complaint to her, she was understanding and willing to fix the situation. Overall, had a good time and would visit again.

Phillys has always been our favorite place. Tonight it was one of the worst we’ve ever had. Not sure when the chicken tenders changed and the pot roast was not edible. It crumbled into pieces and tasted like cat food. Definitely disappointing. The smoked wings were decent but that’s about it.

If you come here in a group you'll have a good experience. Every time I come here by myself and don't sit at the bar I'm basically ignored, to the point where groups that come in several minutes after me are take care of before anyone even comes to my table once. I know exactly what I want, I sit quietly and play on my phone, and I tip at least 30% on a $40-50 meal. I guess the servers assume because I'm one person they won't get a good tip so don't bother coming over. And I intentionally visit when it's slow and quiet so it's not like they're busy. This has happened three times in a row. If you're going by yourself, just get takeout save yourself some irritation. I just got up and left this time. The food is still really good and it's otherwise a great place.

Check your credit card statement. Reviewed mine after visiting a while ago and compared it against my receipt where I wrote the tip amount in, and the server changed the tip I authorized to make it a higher amount! Shady. First time patron, will never be back.

Food was a bit inconsistent. The nachos were ok. However the cheese steaks were phenomenal! The portions were generous and reminded me of ones I've had down in Philly. Overall a good place to grab some grub and/or watch the game at the bar.

Grab a menu and order...EVERY. SINGLE. THING. So many great items to choose from! My personal fave is the buffalo chicken mac and cheese! Love the atmosphere here as well Great service and the staff are all very friendly! I can't say enough good things to be honest...it truly is a capital region gem!
The food wasn't that great honestly. We got the Mac and cheese and it was a little dry and lacking flavor. The pulled pork was good though. The buffalo chicken sandwich was dry as well. They fix in a gratuity of about 17% just as a heads up. Our waitress was attentive so no qualms there but still weird to have that fixed in when it's a bar with bar food...

Philly Bar & Lounge is hands down my family's favorite place to dine. The food and drinks are amazing, and the staff is great. Whether you sit inside or out on the best patio in Albany, the atmosphere/ vibe is always fun and entertaining.

Great service from Olivia F! Excellent food, with good optioned menu. Chill atmosphere. Def recommend if your in the area. Little off the main road but def worth it. Closed the place for the night.
