Attended a wedding here as a bridesmaid and just had to write a review about the venue specifically…read morebecause the "getting ready" space was so perfect! The natural light and big windows with river views were perfect for getting our makeup done. They also had chairs with big mirrors for hair. There was so much space to spread out and I loved that we got to spend the entire day in such a great space. My friend already got her sneak peak for photos and the light is just incredible and backdrop of the space was great for those shots. The space was also very private so we were able to use it as a kid hang space during cocktails for our children (a ring barer and the flower girl). The wedding itself was also great with delicious food and accommodating staff. Our friends got to brew their own beer to serve at the wedding as part of the package, such a fun touch!

Visited this rustic spot with my Mom for beers and an early dinner. When we first walked in I was a…read morelittle like, "Mom where are you taking me?" since the neighborhood seems a bit run down and the bar was filled with guys day drinking. Mom just walked by these guys and proceeded to the dining area and began perusing their specials. They have the usual pub fare like burgers, sandwiches and salads and some Mexican style options like nachos and jalapeño poppers. Lots of draft selections including Fiddlehead, a personal favorite. The dine in seating away from the bar was relaxed and comfortable. I wasn't expecting much given the atmosphere but the food was very good. The salad I had was nice with romaine lettuce and an assortment of veggies. Mom enjoyed their burger. Reasonable prices. I'd gladly return here now that I've been introduced to its understated charm.

We came here for drinks after dinner downstairs at Emry's Garden. They do not take reservations but…read morethere was plenty of space indoors. The vibes resemble a den/ men's cave. Lots of paintings, mirrors, red velvet, arm chairs. The drinks menu is limited but the bartender can make anything. We got a variety of drinks, they were all good. The music isn't as loud, which makes for a nice evening if you want good conversation.

What a gem in Troy! Dark, warm, cozy, lively spot. Perfect ambiance for a night with family and…read morefriends or a great couples date night. To find a speakeasy with a full food menu is unusual. We arrived slightly after it opened and it was already toasty warm with music playing and we were greeted right away. You can sit wherever you want at the little tables or on the couches. Food was great, drinks were even better and the service was friendly and prompt. The music volume was perfect for talking without shouting. After we ate we took our drinks to the couches and the waitress brought over games without us even realizing there were games. Such a fun night, highly recommend this spot for a really great night out!

When I did not know what I wanted, the owner actually took some time to tell me about some of the different bottles they have. That's customer service! You see that so little these days.

This music hall is amazing! I came here about two months ago, on November 8th, to see Howie Day on…read morehis 20th anniversary tour! The opener was really good and Howie Day was great! There are stairs up to the second floor. My friend and I took the stairs up from the front door. We bought snacks and I bought a drink at the small concession stand. We showed our tickets and then took the elevator upstairs to the third floor where the performances happen. There isn't much seating where the performances happened. That's what made it all the better! The building is historic and really cool. Buffalo Bill Cody, John Philip Sousa, and P.T. Barnum's baby elephant have all performed there decades ago. There are photos of some of the people who performed there, as you take the stairs out of the building. I'm so glad I had the experience of viewing a great concert at this cool place!

My girlfriend and I decided to celebrate my birthday (well the night before) by going to see a show…read morehere. I had never been but had seen some of the pics of the hall and thought it looked OK. But being there was another story. As other reviewers have said, they do an amazing job making this space feel warm and inviting (as an old person I was thankful for the complementary ear-plugs). The staff were all super friendly and I was appreciative seeing they have security even for a low-key jam-band-friendly venue. The show itself was a lot of fun, there was plenty of room for the crowd of about 75-100 to relax, dance, sit and watch etc. The sound was really good, and the lights rivaled much fancier venues I've been to. As others have said, the drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but when you compare it to going to a show at say, SPAC these days it was actually a few bucks cheaper per-drink. We started the night at The Eleven, the bar attached to the venue which was also very nice. My girlfriend had one of their signature cocktails, the coffee based one (can't remember the name) and I tasted it and thought it was great. I was a bit disappointed by their whiskey selection, but they had the basics which worked fine. Overall, we had an amazing time and I will definitely be going back to check out more live music here.

When I first turned 21 I started going to Pint Sized in Saratoga and absolutely loved it. Naturally…read moreI was curious about their new Troy location and it certainly did not disappoint! I've been twice with friends and it was stellar. The live performers they get are top notch and it's great to be able to Interact with them after the performance. I also appreciate there being space to dance because it really allows you to cut loose and it's great exercise too. Decor was strange and fun. I look forward to them adding to the strange wall art. I appreciate the fact that the monthly schedules that are posted to Instagram are so clear and show you exactly what to expect given the day. Staff was incredibly helpful despite how loud it can get at times and they always were nothing but courteous. The Beer and Cider selection is top notch. As a cider fan I'm glad they have many varieties and hope to see some more brands make an appearance on the menu. The bathroom was clean and well stocked although there is only one bathroom so later in the night it became a bit of a wait. Only other very minor gripes are I wish there was a few more tables because sometimes it's good to just sit down and the sound mixing can be on the loud side for an indoor performance. Other than that this place is very welcoming and provides a great time with friends. Will be sure to return many more times!

Expect shoulder to shoulder crowds and standing for a long period of time. The music was pretty loud, but also not too loud, so we were able to hear the artist clearly. Cons: Security is very lack luster, they didn't search anyone or check bags at all. Someone could have snuck anything in, that's the only worry we had. Otherwise it's a decent size venue!
