“This place is really chill and the bathrooms are always clean. Never seen a fight or large noisy crowds here. If you are 25 and older and just want to listen to some music and talk with your friends this is the place to go! Never tried any food here, I actually don't know if they have food, but it is the perfect hang out spot!Parking: There are places to park right out front, no garage. But this place isn't usually jam packed so there should be enough room to park.“
“We stopped by at the end of the day on a Friday. First, the atmosphere inside was cheery and welcoming. It reminded me of a bar like the old series “Cheers” or the Ben Affleck movie “The Tender Bar” - people were gathered like old friends at the end of a long work week. Katy was the bartender and server - very welcoming, upbeat- we can’t say enough about the great service we got. Now the food - we had read great reviews from Facebook and finally had a chance to try it out. We were not disappointed! This is pub food better than best - it’s the real deal. First we started with an order of honey BBQ bone in wings (they have many sauce flavor options)- best we’ve had in the capital region - hot, crispy, large sized and absolutely delicious. Next we tried the plain Mac and cheese and it, too, was delicious- lovely melted cheese on top of cavatappi pasta with a lovely blend of creamy cheeses underneath. We didn’t need to add any salt because the flavors were perfectly delicious already. Next we had the pulled pork sandwich that came with Cole slaw and their homemade, hand cut fries. I opted for onion rings. Can’t even begin to describe how delicious everything was - the pulled pork had excellent smoky tenderness, the Cole slaw was delicious — (too many places just can’t make a good Cole slaw but this place has it down !)And then there are the fries and onion rings - wow - both were excellent! Super flavor and perfect light crispy texture- haven’t had good fries/onion rings like this in years! The menu had many other pub fare options from chicken to salads and burgers. It’s a small cozy place inside, people are very friendly. Highly recommend this place. Katy was great and she makes a top notch White Russian. Our hats go off to the chefs/cooks for the extra mile on serving amazing pub food that sets this place apart from so many other places in the Capital Region“
“There were 25-30 of us that came after a funeral. We each ordered individual means from the menu. Dan didn't miss a beat!! Our meals ALL arrived timely. Drink orders were replenshed timely. The staff was happy, friendly. Dan saw us before leaving and asked how everything was, it was FABULOUS and IMPRESSIVE!!“
“Chicken Wings. Hands down, the best around. I used to go to The Ruck, but last time the wings looked like they were from week-old chicks. Never seen wings so tiny. I've gone to the Ale House ever since...as a lone patron, never felt weird. I recommend the Hefeweizen to pair.“
“This is a really fun karaoke bar! The staff are super nice, reasonable prices. Amazing song selection. The only thing that would make this place better is a decent pub menu, like wings, fries, burgers, ect. So if you are renting a room for a party, don't expect much in the way of food options. Still giving it 5 stars.“
“Food is beyond delicious and fresh, we had out of town guests we brought there and couldn't say enough about the food. The service is always right on spot, and the atmosphere is relaxing and fun. The cleanliness is a 10 +++ Can't wait to go back! And OMG the desserts-sinfully amazing!!!“
“This place is a gem. I know it’s not in the best part of downtown Albany. But the staff are amazing. Three waitresses are all great. The have ZERO attitude and just want to make sure you enjoy your drink and or food. There is no better place in the heart of downtown Albany serving drinks, food and smiles . This is a great atmosphere with even better people .“
“It’s a nice vibe in there. Lots of different types of people and I like the layout of the place. My only thing is that it was really warm in the bathroom like uncomfortably so, but it wasn’t that big a deal, just something I remember noticing. Live music is fire ? I can’t speak on the food I didn’t get any but the mixed drinks were type strong . I would return. Bartenders were quick and friendly enough.“
“Nice staff, decent food, great time... my son's band played here, so check them out for live shows! Parking sucks, not the fault of the bar... it's just a Troy fact... also check out @flatwoundsny the band (shameless plug) thanks Eldorado for a great night!“
“What a legendary experience. We were at Hill St Cafe and called to see if they had garbage plates and they did! We were with a friend from Australia that hadn't had a Garbage Plate before so they cooked one up with home fries, Mac salad and burgers that was absolutely delicious. An experience that will never be forgotten and we all appreciate it!!!“
“Ended up going there tonight with 2 co workers of mine and it was a great place. Very laid back atmosphere and not noisy at all where we could actually have a conversation and not have to yell to hear each other. I ended up getting a bowl of the chili, which was amazing. Had the perfect amount of meat and beans in it. And I also had an order of fried mushrooms that were also amazing. Alot of places when you order fried mushrooms the breading just falls right off and mushrooms are mushy, but these were nice and crispy and batter tasted great. The bartender Brittany did and amazing job as well. She was really quick and was always there to make sure are drinks for good and also had great conversations with her. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice bar with great food.“
“Well, they are two for two with our visits and review of 5 Stars! Our waitress, Samantha was our server again. As pleasant and on top of service as before. I went with the pastrami Reuben and my wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. The bread/toasted just crisp, the meat(s) were on the nicely rare side. The sides, steak fries and macaroni salad were excellent!! Real Heinz ketchup, a must with fries! Beverages were on tap. Only slight issue were the nacho and salsa appetizer, chips are just so so and salsa the same. Would not order again. Ambiance was great (big screen TV) and warm decor. Looking forward to another trip soon. Thanks again, love all the locals at the bar too!!“
“Friendly atmosphere (welcoming); ambience is upbeat (music is delightful); plenty of staff so it seems like not stressful or overwhelming for them and us; food is delicious every time!! Many options too! I recommend the scallops covered in Gruyere or any sandwich for lunch...great place to eat and they are on a golf course...what's not to enjoy!!“
“Wanna give a huge shout out to Kennedy’s cook Tommy!! He Has made that kitchen a well oiled machine..... I strongly suggest ya go in for lunch or dinner.... great food, great prices, great people ... ❤️Kennedy’s .... you will too!! Check it out“
“This review is for Pam’s Pub and Grille from 01/2024 and on. Ownership and the name has changed. This is a place that I’ve been proud to call my second home since 2020 and that’s almost entirely due to the Friday bartenders. This is not some obnoxious over the top place that tries too hard. This is what a “hole in the wall” truly is. It’s got history, charm, and personality.Now the alcohol is what it is. Whatever hard liquor and mixed drinks you want are mostly available. If they don’t know how to make your bougie viral drink, they’ll look it up and do their damn best to accommodate.The beer selection is ok but limited due the amount of space. And that’s ok. Don’t come in asking for some spaceship triple IPA with your man bun and childish beard. Ain’t gonna happen.The food is a work in progress. Prices are higher than they should be for what you actually get. The kitchen isn’t some gourmet Michelin rated place. It’s a bar first. Fried food as far as the eye can see. But it’s small by nature and that’s just the way it is. There is a goulash from time to time as a special that’s probably the best thing I’ve eaten there. No seafood, no steaks, no bbq. Burgers, wings, salads, and quesadillas. The chili is sweet which takes you by surprise when the nachos are smothered in it. Don’t order the nachos. Why this food crime continues here is beyond me.This place is perfect as a dive bar. Filled with locals and some travelers. If you’ve made it this far in this review, just go. Walk in the door and grab a seat. Do you like alcohol? Perfect. Are you trying to impress your in-laws? Go somewhere else.“
“Great place. Very big selection of beer and on different sizes of pours. I have had the burgers in the past and they were all delicious. I recently had the pulled pork tacos. Oh, so good.Definitely a place to stop if you like beer and a good atmosphere.“
“Super delicious, huge menu, friendly staff and loyal patrons sums up this restaurant on a golf course. It is attached to the municipal hockey rink. I love that you can order 6 wings, and they have some fun flavors. I had the peanut butter and jelly and they were great. Crispy, sweet and savory with a hint of spice. My husband had a burger and it was gigantic. It had that flame broiled diner flavor, tasty. I would go back anytime.“
“Voted best dive bar in Albany. They are proud of that title and their Irish heritage! Light atmosphere. Everyone seems happy. No drama. We had some cold beers and a basket of cooked to perfection fried foods which included mozz sticks, onion rings, fries, and chicken tenders. Enough to share with many. Great jukebox too. A good time was had by all in this little neighborhood bar. Cheers!“
“The place is small and the food is great, which makes it often really busy. If you plan to come in peak-hours, plan for a wait.However, for me, the wait was well worth it!The chicken wings I ordered were perfect. Well-sourced, not too fatty, not dry, and cooked to perfection. The ranch was delicious (not the watery-grocery-store-kind). Plenty of carrots and celery to bite on in between the wings! The side of fries that I ordered was served is a cute cast iron mini-pot!Parking: If you're going there for the first time, take a note of the extra parking lot they offer, as there's very limited parking available right by the restaurant.“
“First, the good... The raspberry oatmeal pancakes might be the best stack of pancakes I have ever eaten. Incredible!Now, the not so good. Wait times on Sunday morning are over 40 minutes and because of the crowds the service is (was) subpar. Got my order wrong, no coffee refills, etc. So, plan ahead, prepare to wait and do not expect service that matches the food.“
“The food is amazing.I got the Adirondack sandwich. It's a baked sub type roll filled with brisket and served with aujus and fries.It is big and delicious ...My wife had a burger and fries and said it was very good.I drank a Fiddlehead beer and she had a Cosmo.“
“We got wings and a burger for take away and our server/bartender India was amazing. The food was perfect and the blue cheese dressing is to die for!!!Dietary restrictions: India was sure to tell us about the gluten free buns and lettuce wrap options for burgers and other sandwiches.“
“Love this place. Brittney was a fantastic bartender! Great atmosphere, and surprisingly good food. You can tell everyone loves being there. If you are looking for a neighborhood bar with above average bar food, and amazing service, this is your place!“
“Great prices and lots of seating!! They have a bar scene with tables if you want some noise, then they have a side room with more tables that is more quiet and then a whole upstairs room that’s even quieter. Such a nice place and lots of room. Good menu, on the smaller side but good selection and really good prices. The food came out so fast and it was really good. The waiters were amazing as well. Highly recommend.“
“Heritage bar and fly and shaker road. Nice bar they have popcorn and nuts. They don't serve food, but if you want something to eat. There's a Stewart's right next store. It's a very nice atmosphere. Have a lot on tap Blue Moon course to name a few.Love you check it out, we did.“
“The rustic is the place to be, it’s not a fancy restaurant so don’t expect that, it’s a great venue for live music and bar food! I’ve been going for years and I love it! Take your hunny on out get some good drinks and food and have a good time!“
“Great little spot in Delmar. Stopped in for a bite on our way home, and got the roasted red pepper, spinach and artichoke bisque and Irish onion soup, Bavarian pretzels and waffle fries. Super busy place, but there was a seat for us right away. Excellent soup and appetizers. Will definitely go back for dinner.“
“A friend of mine, who loves Ravenswood suggested we go there and I'm glad he did.The service was especially attentive, even during the busy lunch hour. My salmon burger was very tasty. Usually I am content with less expensive lunch options (soup and salad) however, Ravenswood was a nice change and worth it.“
“We need this place in San Diego, California!This is a very cozy and welcoming local gastropub with great eats, excellent drinks, and the staff provide the best service experience I’ve experienced in awhile!!!! Espresso martini’s and other specialty drinks tantalize the tastes buds like never before!!! YUMMY!!!!“
“Neighborhood bar with great food... Great steak sandwich, Caesar salad and white pizza. Was a nice meeting partner to catch up with friends... Relaxing no rush atmosphere. I'll be back...Parking: Street parking... Was easy at lunch time the day before ?“
