Best Bar restaurants nearby. Discover the best Bar food in Albany. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Bar restaurants near you.. A rich 300-year history, a thriving arts community and seemingly endless wilderness make this New York capital city on the Hudson River a great weekend getaway. Outdoor enthusiasts come here to ski, hike, canoe and fish; trout and small-mouth bass fishing is among the best in the U.S. Mountains surround the city, and the tapestry of golds and reds on an autumn day is breathtaking. The city is dominated by an elaborate 10-building complex that includes the State Capitol; the New York State Museum, with life-like dioramas such as American Indian life and an Adirondack logging operation; and the oval-shaped Empire State Performing Arts Center, nicknamed "The Egg." History buffs will enjoy the colonial homes, historic churches and museums, and can tour 18th-century mansions, like the Schuyler, a superb example of pre-Revolutionary War architecture. Whether nature or history is your passion, you'll find an abundance of both in this upstate New York gem.

Before every concert you see at The palace, the warm-up should begin at Mcgeary's. Its the perfect location to party with friends or enjoy some dinner.It's loud, but that's the vibe here. Every beer imaginable is on tap.Its like indoor tailgating without you having to cook. A solid menu featuring sandwiches burgers salads and wings.Its an old style place where memories are made.

We prefer the bar area as itâs cozier than the dining room. This is the first time we had their wings and it was agreed they are the best weâve had in a very long time.We appreciate you coming in to dine with us and love to hear you enjoyed the wings. We'll keep them hot and fresh for your next visit.

Friends had given us a generous gift card to here so we decided to invite them along to enjoy both the food and conversation! We are never disappointed by both the friendly efficient service and the reliable food! We all chose some type of seafood and each raved about their dish. I had the seafood fra diabolo ($21.95) and will enjoy it for dinner tonight as the portions are quite generous! The creme brûlée with grand mariner was a hit with all of us.This is a very popular restaurant so do make reservations and plan on bringing home a doggie bag! Highly recommend!

Nice atmosphere. Relaxed brewpub feel. Waitress and other staff are great. Beers we tried were okay, nothing stood out, but all were drinkable some better than others. Do a flight, pick ones to your taste. The food was good, had large portions. We would return.

We've been here before and continue to return as the food and service is excellent. The staff is very well trained to wait on customers. This is a credit to the management. The food service in the back is always perfect in their preparation of meals served by the wait staff. It is a great friendly atmosphere. Their menu is diverse enough to satisfy all eating styles.Thank you so much for the wonderful words! It means a lot. We look forward to serving you again soon.Sincerely,Robert MalkusOwner

Background: I was with a large group (7) of colleagues in town for a conference. Originally had made reservations, but ended up showing up about an hour early, but was seated quickly with no problems. Atmosphere: A casual, bar atmosphere. The restaurant is filled with antiqued, long picnic benches and tables that can accommodate about 8 or so people. Music was playing both in the main dining room/bar area and in the back kitchen- where you wait for your free pizza. Service: Was a bit slow, but it seemed there was only a few servers on the floor and it was pretty full when we arrived. Our waiter was friendly and patient as we asked a bunch of questions (What's on the pickle plate? Is it pickles?) and requests- (in stead of chips, can I have fries?). Food came out slowly, but pizza was there to fill in the gaps. At least apps came out fairly quickly.Food: A unique mix of modern and classic dishes. Lots of twists! Like the pickle plate had lots of pickled items (cauliflower, fiddle-head ferns, garlic, but no traditional pickles). Many of us ordered the pulled pork, which did NOT disappoint. Friend had the burger said it was good and other friend who had the curry chicken sandwich was happy too. Would I go back? IT is definitely a place to grab a casual meal with friends or colleagues after work. It had a fun atmosphere and solid food. I would come back if I was in the area again!

A farm-to table Bistro serving global comfort food at 300 Delaware Ave in the city of Albany, NY. Offering farm raised meats, sustainable seafood, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.
Reviewed By JayV269
Weâve had consistent great food & service at NWBB the few times that weâve dined there. Last week was our 1st time dining on their outside patio, which provided a quieter option on a busy Friday night. Their nightly special homemade pasta with salmon was delicious, as was their consistent bacon wrapped, Gouda stuffed meatloaf. Their speciality cocktail New Fashioned was very tasty. Glad we thought about trying here again while in Albany.
