8 Best Bars near Albany

“Amazing place to hang out and have a good time“

“Great people and coldest beer around !! Awesome Halloween parties!“

“The Crystal was a good bar to hang out in. They let you bring food in which is a big plus. We found a little loaf area where there was enough seating for a big group of people. There was Foosball and pool and some other games around. Crowded but not packed like the bar next door.“

“Raven is an amazing server! The wings that she recommended were the best I’ve had in Athens County! Thank you Raven! We will be back“

“A great "dive" bar with a solid beer selection with cool music to boot. I was in town to see Wilco but saw a lot of great acts had played there/we're coming up on their calendar. A great spot to hang out at, I hope to catch a show there in the future.“

“Never been to Athens before and got trapped eating Cafe food for a week. Ventured off and found the Pub, which lives up to its name. Great burgundy door leading you into a gallery of memorabilia, laughter and good vibes. I sat at the bar was quickly greeted and ordered wings, beer and a double of Jamison. The wings came out quickly and were a great size for the price. If I ever come to Athens again, I'd definitely stop by.“

“The only bar I personally go to. Not just for the good prices (a pitcher of beer is only $5.50) but also for the crowd the place attracts; This is no obnoxious frat boy or preppy sorority girl bar.It's mainly bikers and hippie-like people who come here, and that's why I like it.“

“Nice local college bar. The bartenders are top notch! If you dare they have a board of specialty drinks and shots. The chocolate pretzel shot is yummy . They offer touch tunes, several tvs, and two pool tables. There's not much room for wild dancing but you can find a little space to bop along to your favorite tune. They do offer bar food during non-peak hours. I enjoy the bar when it's not a family weekend and you can just sit a chill, listen to some music, watch sports and enjoy some cheese sticks.“
