👍 Fun spot for craft beer. Variety of options, on draft or in a can. Bartender was very helpful in explaining and helping us pick out the beer we’d like the most. Nice amount of seating. People often mention beer, good, friendly, selection,

    Always fun and a good selection of beer. For some reason, there's a culture of the servers being a bit rude, but whatever. Bonus points if the DJ climbs on the fridge to turn off the smoke detector.

    I keep forgetting how great this bar is. It is by far the friendliest place on Lark Street and they've always got great beer. They are also dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Liam F. 5 months ago on Google
    Very chill spot with tons of craft beers. Bartenders are always there to offer suggestions and help you pick something out

    A tipsy lady recommended I try the maple apple cider, so I tried it, and it was very good. Nice atmosphere and friendly service, on a more general note.

  • 5/5 Merav M. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic local bier and cider - wonderful service and great atmosphere- what else do you need !?

    Just do it (apologies, Nike). If you like beer (and associated adult beverages), this is the place. If you're lucky, Andrew will be behind the bar. If you're not, you'll still have incredible bartenders, from Josh to whomever—they're all fun and knowledgeable. Just don't let them know I said so; I've spent a long time acquiring my difficult-to-please reputation and can't have you ruining it now. LoL. Pint Sized. It's the upstate, beer lovers' destination.

    Nice small bar with a huge choice of beer and great music. The bartender was really nice also.

  • 4/5 Steven Q. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has all kinds of craft beer! Can't go wrong with selection. We went on the coldest day of the year so the heat wasn't able to keep up and the prices are very high compared to the rest of the areas restaurants and breweries. They also don't have their lists posted on their website. I'll definitely give them another try.

    Really cool, chill place to have a beer-ah w someone else or you and your DOG, bc YES it's dog friendly (assuming your dog is friendly and doesn't bark non stop: they do have dog rules posted but are reasonable rules)!!!! They sell 4 packs of your choice to go, but that seemed pretty pricey, prices while drinking in house seemed reasonable for non mass marketed beer, and knowledgeable staff that know the products.

    Great atmosphere and the beers are really good. Great service and good prices

  • 5/5 A L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of local beers and 15 drafts. Friendly vibe, local neighborhood spot. The bartender knows everybody.

  • 5/5 Pat R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cute spot in a trendy area. The bartender was really nice and the crowd was friendly. Allows dogs in and even has a water bowl. Was easy to find parking and plenty of drink options. Definitely will be going back

  • 5/5 Ken R. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place to meet with friends in town. Easy going environment with an excellent selection of beer. Best staff I've interacted with at a bar as well. Fun retro video games in the back. Love triva night on Wednesdays.

  • 5/5 Johnny G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of draft. Thursdays are definitely the best time to go for the special. 16oz pours are 10oz price.

  • 5/5 Andre A. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my new favorite spots to drink beer in the US of A. Seriously folks. Chill bat, dogs allowed, curious and friendly staff and a lot of really, really good beer. Hit this spot twice in a week during my visit to Albany. Will be back.

  • 5/5 Bryanna H. 2 years ago on Google
    Relaxed atmosphere to hang out and have a beer. Growlers available and generally a good selection on tap. Summers are mostly IPAs but they get some good ambers, porters, and stouts in the fall and winter.

  • 5/5 Lauren B. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a priority stop when I’m in albany. Get a growler fill, and if you’re overwhelmed by options/looking for a certain price point ask the bartender—they’ll take care of you! I’ve learned all sorts of new brewing companies and types of beers here. A great place to hang out or end the night-and I SO appreciate them checking vax cards now. Makes it easier to relax and enjoy knowing all the patrons are vaccinated!

  • 4/5 Craig C. 1 year ago on Google
    Not much to say other than good beer options and can take home and create a custom 4 pack. Just be prepared to pay the price is all.

  • 5/5 Amanda W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is by far my favorite bar in Albany. The bartenders are so friendly and know exactly what type of drink I want as soon as they see my face. I think of this bar as a safe space and the bartenders as friends. Definitely check them out if you’re in the area

  • 5/5 Jimmie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome, chill beer bar. Dog friendly. Great staff that knows beer.

  • 5/5 Brendan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly and knowledgeable staff that greeted quickly with a smile. Great selection and owner/management make a huge effort to bring in variety from new breweries and old. Would recommend to family, friends or anyone looking to expand their craft beer palate!
