Went here this weekend. The bartender was busy with three girls at the bar. So when we went to ask for a beer it took awhile to get her attention. Then the three girls gave us a dirty look when we asked for a beer. Throughout the night the girls sitting there kept looking over at us like we were bothering their gossiping time with the bartender. We wanted food later and saw a guy come over which was probably the manager/owner. We asked him nicely to put in an order and he seemed offended we asked him. He also took my money and didn’t give me my change back right away even when I asked. It was probably about 10 minutes until I was able to find him again to ask him for my change again. I was supposed to get $3 back and only got $2. He was weird and kept flirting with the girls at the bar and the bartender too. What a creep. People in there were also just weird. Went to the bathroom, had to ask where it was, and instead of just showing us, two men followed us who were preforming there that night. Will never ever go here again. Felt so uncomfortable. The owner is a creep.

The 518 has always been our go to spot when in dwntwn Troy! However, this time around they are incorporating different events. They hosted a Latin night ???? with Dominican ?? food from Pataconia on Saturday and it was such a great hit. The vibes and decor are chill, beer options are always delicious along with their cocktail menu, and the artwork submissions from local artists are captivating. Follow their FB page for updated event info. I sure will ?

Not much to offer really the beer is a bit pricey for the and the patrons aren't the or the owner for that matter

Disappointed with the service we received this morning. We walked in because my daughter's hands were chocolately and sticky. Asked to use the bathroom for hand washing. The guy behind the bar appears annoyed said yes. My husband bought a coffee to support the bar. We then bought a hot chocolate. The guy poured a Swiss miss packet into a cup and charged us 6 bucks!. We will never do that again. Should have gone to Alejandro's for the good stuff

Walked in for the first time this evening and instantly felt the cozy vibe. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before, it’s amazing! The owner greeted us when we walked in and the bartender is so kind! Highly recommend 518 Craft for an evening outing and I look forward to checking it out tomorrow morning :)

Cutest coziest coffee shop ever.

This venue is like no other in Troy. Highly recommend. Stop in during a night of live music. Always a unique vibe enjoyed by all. Friendly staff, great ambiance and great cocktails.
Walking by after show at the Music Hall and heard fabulous Jazz music, so we stopped in for a nightcap. First visit and noticed it's quite an interesting place. Home craft brews and cocktail specials. I can recommend the blonde ale! It was fairly crowded, but we had ample room to enjoy our drinks and check out the amazing music. Kudos to band Joseph Barna and company!!

Never again! About 10 minutes into my vegan latte, I asked what type of plant milk the barista had used. Having not checked on me since getting back on her barstool to play on her computer, she looked at me and said, "Just cow." I thought it was some new brand, like "Just Eggs." No, not at all. It was 100% cow's milk. When I looked at her in shock, she just said, "Oh, can I get you something with oat milk?" No apology, no "sorry" face, nothing. She had, however, managed to grab the tip left and already pocketed it. Obviously, I left. The worst experience I've had at a cafe, ever.
