We first went to Rare Form for an event. Once a month they have a group/public reading of a Shakespeare play-called Shakes-beer. It is a fun night out. Rare Form is a cozy, welcoming pub in downtown Troy. Close to restaurants and other pubs. They don't serve food, but I have seen people bring things in. Their beer is phenomenal. Different styles, different strengths. The bartenders are very knowledgeable. Excellent. I'm going again tomorrow!

Casual Polish & American fare are served in this ski lodgelike gastropub with a year-round beer garden and extensive beer and wine list. Fanciful indoor and outdoor seating with a great sunset and happy hours daily.

Stopped here for a snack and a drink! The young bartender was very knowledgeable and attentive! The ladies seem to enjoy his looks....Anyhow, we had pretzels with beer ale cheese! And a couple of glasses of wine. I understand they have good beer here also! The setting is so quaint and charming! Stonework and tons of beautiful flowers! I bet it's awesome to come here at night. They have a large fan for hot days and heaters for cool nights! It's a little tricky to find, but once you do you'll be back!!!!

My husband and I have been to Ryanâs Wake three times with our son, who has been there a gazillion times. Our most recent excursion there was last night--Friday during Lent (for what thatâs worth)âfor fried haddock. The place was HEAVING. Conversation was close to impossible but we finally secured a four-top and we all ordered fish, fries and onion rings. The dinners came with a red cabbage salad that blew ordinary coleslaw out of the water. Previous meals have included burgers and Reubens and the food is consistently delicious. Probably my favorite thing about this establishment, though, is the speedy, courteous, friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble for the fine folks who work here. Great food, interesting beer choices, fun atmosphere and an excellent value. This place is a winner.

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.

Casual gourmet slider concept with locally sourced ingredients, unique pubfare, craft beer and spirits and a relaxed, industrial décor.
Reviewed By KMB1117
We went on the eve of snowstorm Harper, so there wasn't a wait. My friend says there is usually a wait.We ordered the "Fravos", which are avocado fries, as a starter. They were good and not so good. If you got a "crispy" one, it was good. If you got a "non crispy" one, it was mushy. We didn't care for the mushy ones.I ordered "The Dirty South" slider. It was really good. The chicken was not pre-battered frozen chicken. It was fresh and cooked to order. I also order the special slider of the day "Swedish Meatball", to take home. I asked them to keep the bun separate. I reheated it the next day. It was AMAZING!!!Service is slow, but you are getting fresh, made from scratch food. It's worth the wait!!!

Came with friends for dinner - it's a very lively sports bar. We had great service. Taco Tuesday is an awesome deal with three tacos and chips for just $7. You can also order a pitcher of margaritas. The only downside is there aren't really any entrees for a vegetarian except pizza and a salad. If you eat fish you can order a piece of salmon (it's on the menu to go on a salad) with french fries or a salad. Didn't see any other fish entrees on the menu.Thank you for the review Vicki! We are happy to hear you and your friends had a good visit at Junior's! It sounds like you would be interested in some of our vegetarian/pescatarian menu items. We offer vegan seitan wings and a beyond burger. We also recently started offering fish & chips. We hope to see you again soon, please let us know how you enjoy these new offerings!

A Birthday lunch for my Sister. She has been going to the Ale House for 30 years and chose it for her celebration. When we pulled up out front I was not sure but once inside we found very friendly folks and great food. Hard cider, margarita straight up with salt, homemade pea soup, hand prepared hamburgers (not frozen), fries and the carrot cake! My Sister must use a walker and there is a steep step, however, a patron jumped up from his seat and helped her in. On leaving the bartender helped her out. She left her fries to go on the table and another diner came out with them. Very friendly folks. Do yourself a favor and go. Wednesday night is Mexican night and you will find me there.

Besides the wide variety of great beer, their food is outstanding too and fairly reasonably priced. The wings are easily in my top three for troy and their blue cheese wins hands down.

We always enjoy a stop at Brown's as we remember it from a long time ago as Brown and Moran's and then it was Uncle Sam's, but now its back to just Brown's. Good friendly bar tenders, great drinks and dinner. Sausages are excellent and so is their steak but there is a full burger and sandwich menu with appetizers too.
