In my experience the staff have always been very approachable and have always treated each of the bands with politeness and respect. Very up front and transparent with paying the bands too. Sound system sounds good on stage and in the crowd. Very welcoming environment to all demographics.

Best sound system and best Sunday evening entertainment in the whole 518! If you want to support a venue that supports the artists, Pauly's Hotel is everything.

Fantastic bar and live venue. The sound for the stage is immaculate. Great drinks, great vibes, great time. Definitely coming back!

Been going here for years now, Pauly's Hotel gave me a place to do my first live performances, in other words Pauly's gave me and many others a place to learn and grow musically, also a place to meet like-minded people. Soon, perhaps tonight, I will be doing my first ever live performances playing a musical instrument. Speaking of musical instruments, I programed all of my music using FL Studios, but decided to learn guitar because of this weird hand guitar that I found curbside on trash night, never played before, in fact, never held a real guitar before, after stumbling upon a simple melody on this, I went and got an old, but real guitar and from YouTube tutorials started to learn some of some tunes. Can't wait to take stage at Pauly's Hotel and neither can my friends, they like to come drink, order food listen to performances and sometimes they too will take stage. Thank you Pauly's Hotel

New ownership is doing a fantastic job revamping the music space. You can tell they really have a passion for the local community! Can’t wait to play there again.

Very cool, small venue. The sound system was so/so but the set up is nice. Also I think they had $2.50 Bush pint, which can't be bear. Staff was all cool and the bands went well together. I'll defidentally be returning.

I went in and said, Iam a customer from time to time and live in the neighborhood. Responds , oh not really ok to use the bathroom. Thanks for asking. OK maybe they have a problem that I'm a Colombian/Italian American or you have to be a customer at that time. They need some clarification. 😂😂 I know I have been a patron and have paid their exuberant prices. I know I have been a customer. That rules out me being a customer. If you got to use it say you need a drink first.

Was here to support a friend playing in a band. Kudos for giving them a place to play. (that's the only reason they got 1 star, and I don't think it's possible to give zero) The bartender was non-attentive, looking at their phone. The staff seemed to be friendly to the regulars, I'm not a regular.
They collected a cover charge from us then went to the other end of the bar and told the people on that side "I Just want to let everybody know that we aren't collecting from the people that are already in here" That's a pretty grimey thing to do if you ask me. Makes sense now why a place with live music was so empty on a Friday night. So...... I guess if you're a regular, keep coming back, but if you're just passing by looking for a friendly place to have a drink or two.. I'd keep on walking.

I played here this weekend and my whole band had a great night. Sound was great, staff was helpful and friendly and the local crowd was awesome. Good beer/liquor selection is also a plus. Thanks again guys
Patrick Collins
Good bartenders, reasonably priced beer, Great bands.
Alex Pipe
Great place for a beer after work great bartender and can't beat hearing grateful dead play on the juke while enjoying a cold one!
Daniel Anthony
They have no qualms with not paying touring bands and then telling them that they should have done a better job bringing people out. Screw this place.
Mark T. Jones
We jammed on a Sunday afternoon and heavy rock bands were coming in when we were winding down, awesome. A lot of music is here.
Sally Burke Bartholdi
Staff was great. Very cool bar with a historic background to the Albany area.
Phil Carpenter
Great crew/staff, atmosphere, and Berkstar was awesome.
Phil Firetog
Most unprofessional, & unfriendly place. The friendliest person was the bouncer. Sound guy was useless. Bartender was zoned out for a non busy bar. No pay and no drink specials for bands. Horrible organizations for band and band info. Sound guy was nowhere to be found to help set up aka do his job....meanwhile he was at the bar while everyone was looking for him and set up the bands and sound 15 mins after start time of show while bands where there an hour prior. I will surely never be going back, nor playing at this establishment ever again.
Victoria Nelson
Love playing here. It's a great venue, awesome staff.
Jc Woods
It's a place where you can hear good live music , and where you can rock out!
