I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone. The food is not appealing and the service over there is almost non-existent. Out of all of the restaurants in Troy New York, I would place this one dead last.

Nice atmosphere and great location and they have outside dining but they offer very little food choices, things like cheese plates etc. And it's expensive. Plus when I hear " confectionary" I think of baked deserts, and there aren't any!

We enter Lucas Confectionery knowing our Friday night is winding down... ??So we ain't got no time or energy for ambiguity. Wine and pizza are calling our names... "PRESENT" we happily respond in perfect unison. At Lucas Confectionery, we gladly fall in line... ??#Rosé #Margherita #

Lucas Confectionery, quite simply, is our favorite local wine bar. Period. As soon as you walk through the doors, you melt into the cozy, warm lighting and decor of bygones times. You are provided with a choice list of delightful wines, beer (cans and tap), and more with information and careful attention provided by the knowledgeable staff. They are there to provide insightful info on your choices and allow you to have a taste for your final decision. If you've just stopped in for a glass or two, once you've decided on what's in your glass, you can choose to sit in the quaint bar room which is truly a page out of the victorian era (which is the building's roots). You may also saunter to the back room.This back room is a treasure. In the cold weather, it's cozy and you can take a seat and gaze into the fireplace. In the summer, the roof retracts... yes, retracts(!) to make it an open-air space. This place has the whole vibe - quiet place to ponder over a glass of wine or have a romantic night out over candle lit wine. There are delicious small plates and cheese boards to pair with your sip. One of the Capital District's best.

Great place with a lot of cozy corners. They bake beautiful bread - if you are here be sure you try it!

Possibly the best atmosphere in downtown Troy. BEST staff - ordered one cheese, was given a mini board with all the different accoutrements. Our waitress saw how excited we were and brought us some baguette and butter on the house. The owner was there as well and we chatted with him for a long time - he is THE nicest guy. Will be back here regularly.

One of my favorite places in Troy for an evening drink. Find some of the best natural wines at the dimly lit bar surrounded by vintage nods to the history of the building and the city. Explore the garden and the attached coffee shop and Italian restaurant. Keep an eye out on their instagram for one of the many events that happen here each month.

I’m giving 3 stars cause if the atmosphere, it truly is beautiful! Like a little oasis in Troy. Great for a glass of wine. But, myself and the other two people I was enjoying with were surprised that all the fish was actually tinned. We checked out the menu and figured the salmon and octopus were made in house. Correct me if I’m wrong please! But 16 dollars for a tin of fish seems like a rip off. I can go to the grocery store and get it for like 2$. I wouldn’t go back for food, it was outrageously expensive. We had the octopus, salmon, ricotta, and a cheese board, and two drinks a piece. It was like 210 total for the three of us(with a 20% tip and we had to get our own food and drinks from the bar)… There wasn’t a lot of food between us and my boyfriend and I had to grab a snack like 2 hours later. The cocktails were okay. A little too strong, they weren’t well balanced. I know it’s a wine bar! But if you have only 2-3 cocktails on your list they should have perfected them. I was pretty let down with our experience. Wouldn’t recommend for food.

It pains me to not give this place 5 stars as the owner has created a truly one-of-a-kind vibe here... and it is GOOD.Takeaways:+ Fresh oysters every Tuesday+ The space is incredible and varied+ Owner is friendly+ Food looks good (we are going to get charcuterie soon!)- Wine was NOT for us... The first glass had a bit too much sulfates and tasted a bit vinegary. They replaced it for us free of charge, but the next glasses we had weren't great either (we tried three wines in total). We didn't complain after the first round but I would not recommend the wine, personally. It had a hard-cider kind of taste.

Cozy wine bar with small bites. I have gone here for years.
This place rocks. All the wines tasted great. It’s somewhat small plate with a limited menu but it is great tasting food. The inside atmosphere us awesome with various seating styles along with an outside area.
