I love this place. They have pinball machines! The owner, Jay, was there when I went and he was a very nice person. The chicken wings were 🔥. I never had a "garbage plate" before and I am so glad I had it here. Trying the different beers was fun and I am looking forward to trivia night on Thursday. Come check them out! Real chill place. 💓💓

Waitress was great and food was standard. NY only offerings on the liquor was a great touch. Great stop after the coheed concert!

Our evening was complete finding this bar at the end of our night visiting Albany. A welcoming staff and customer clientele became fast friends. Great selection of beer and liquor! We felt right at home with great conversations and good laughs.

This is the best bar I've ever been to. The bartenders are great to talk to, and the regulars are good people. Made quick friends in the area when I started going here. Jay's a fantastic owner.

Solid rotating beer selection, good food, good vibes, great people. Additionally, Excelsior has a pinball machine selection that is second to none in the area.

Went here on a Saturday night, and had a great time. The bar has a local feel accentuated by the all NY menu. It has a cozy feel in the front and the opens up in the back for a more private time. The garbage plate was great, the patties were a little weak, but every other element made up for it. The brown cow wings were phenomenal, the sauce was deep and rich with some spice to it, and the wings underneath were cooked better than you'd expect. While the food options are a little paltry the beer menu makes up for it in size and quality.

Great atmosphere, good selection of NY craft beers, owner was super friendly and helpful. This was our first time in Albany and we hit a bunch of spots, but this is definitely the one we'd come back to. Very chill, homey feel.
