Just moved to Albany from Europe, the staff and the regulars immediately took me in and treated me as a peer, compared to other bars I had visited. The atmosphere is great if one likes old school dive bars. The jukebox actually uses discs, which is probably one of the best pieces of americana i have seen so far. Pool and Darts are readily available and the back porch is a nice place to sit in the summertime. All in all a 10 out of 10 bar.

I'm here Friday night 9/3, prolly around 9p, and the 2 tending bar are just fantastic. Attentive and funny even while they got a few people deep rush. Great eye contact and hustle. Ordered a round of shots and they were super tasty. Thanks Sam send Karma.

Great dive bar hidden on the midtown streets of Albany. Relatively quiet during the afternoon but business picks up at night. Great place to go for a quiet drink with some buddies and watch sports. Food is standard bar food, pretty much what you would expect at a place like this.

Albany's best dive bar. Friendly bartender with a good beer selection plus a pool table, pacman, & darts.

Eclectic CD jukebox, although I miss the old '45 jukebox. The day bartender, was gracious and cool. And the new night bartender was sweet and attentive.
The only problem: a thimble of rye cost $10.

A quiet dive bar with a big personality, it's much more laid back than most of the bars in the area. The mixed drinks are really good and they serve a few reasonably priced snacks at the bar.
