I do not like however the cattle corral they have out side for smokers, almost an eye soar. But, all and all the drinks are cold, and at a good price for a music venue, the bar tenders are cute, and the music is usually loud. I love it, but wish they could pull a little more music into the place!

Not to mention it is a smoke free venue but they allow you to step outside to smoke. I saw "Bad Company" a few years ago there and look forward to watching the Bo Henry Band and Kinchafoonee Cowboys this year the night before Thanksgiving. Be safe and don't drink and drive. Ask for a shuttle of taxi to the Merry Acres Hotel if you drink too much.

The location should scare most people away but it is safe and cool. Lots of "LIVE" Rock and Roll. Wednesday is open mic night and every one gets respect when on stage.

There were a couple of people at the bar, others leaving, and one other seated party. So it wasn't packed on arrival, but once we were seated others began to arrive. The dining room isn't very big, it's quaint. Low lighting, white table cloth, candle lit, date night ambiance. Love it! Music playing: R&B jazz instrumentals; a little on the loud side, but not a deal breaker. There was no live music while we were there, but they do offer that on certain days. There is one unisex restroom, It appeared clean and nicely decorated, as was the rest of the restaurant. This place specializes in Charcuterie, meats, cheeses, wine, etc. But we were simply on the hunt for the best steak in Albany. Our server Hannah, was excellent! I hope she's there when I go back. She, and the rest of the staff were all perfect; a breath of fresh air in this customer service drought of a town. Hannah explained the menu, specials, what they offer on certain days, and everything else we wanted to know. She checked on us often, and we wanted for nothing. My husband and I don't drink, so we got a couple bottles of sparkling water and a soda. (This day they offered Pepsi products) For starters we had the Korean Duck Tacos and Bruschetta Al Pomodoro. The sauce on the tacos was a lot sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. Perfect tender meat, and choice toppings. The Bruschetta, was pretty good. But not anything I'd just HAVE to order again. My husband got a Medium Well Ribeye, collards, and creamed potatoes. He said the steak was a HIT:tender and flavorful. No complaints. He enjoyed the collards, and potatoes, as well. I had Lemon Herb half Chicken, Broccoli, and Creamed potatoes. The chicken, and lemon sauce were AMAZING! The chicken seemed brined, baked low and slow, so good. The broccoli tasted steamed and seasoned nicely. I'm not a fan of the potatoes. While they had great flavor, even without the lemon sauce; it was the texture. They were too loose. I prefer a thicker creamed/mashed potato. This establishment gets five stars, because customer service was exceptional, they go out of their way to give you a fine dining experience, and the food was overall fantastic! If you're in the area and in the mood for Charcuterie, or on the hunt for the best steak in Albany like we were: Come here! I do believe you won't be disappointed:)

The restaurant is very cozy with dim lighting and soft music playing in the background. This was our third visit to this restaurant and each time we have enjoyed a delicious meal. We chose stuffed mushrooms as our appetizer along with two robust cocktails. They offer an extensive wine selection as well as a full bar. For our entrees we enjoyed a very tasty stuffed shrimp linguini and an interesting salmon Wellington with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. Both portions were plenty for us to thoroughly enjoy! No room for desert this trip; next time we must plan our dinner meal just a little bit better. I'm sure that we'll arrange another stop over (and delightful meal) in Albany the next time we venture out into Georgia!

LUVED her. They had a large wedding party the night before and they were out of a lot of drinks and some food items however the way she presented it to us, was again hilarious so we truly didn't even mind.

It could very well fit in at theme parks, like Universal Studios. It's Clean, spacious, lighting on the dimmer side. It's a fantastic date night spot. We were blessed to have Diamond tending to us, and she was outstanding! Customer Service doesn't get any better than what she gave. I imagine she'd be just as great if the place were absolutely slammed. Our food was pretty basic. We got spicy fried wings as an appetizer. They were pretty good. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo had small bits of white meat chicken, and not a lot of it. We also had a 14oz Ribeye, collards, & mashed potatoes. All the food was ok. Not good enough to rave about, not bad enough to complain about. Just basic . I'm glad I finally checked it out though. The overall experience was worth the visit.

The 1906 is a welcomed addition to the Albany food scene…read more The atmosphere is wonderful with leather seats and booths. Vocal jazz and swing playing and n the background for the best old Albany vibe. It is a very enjoyable atmosphere. The chef is from New Orleans and that is reflected in the food. I've been a couple times for lunch and the hamburger is one of the best in town. This last go round I had the French dip and it was marvelous. The bread was soft. The meat was tender. And the au jus was perfect for dipping. The desserts are on another level as well. The white chocolate bread pudding is probably my favorite. The chocolate is on point complimented by a little cinnamon. The bananas foster beignets are very good as well. They are not too sweet and set with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that is the perfect balance. I very much enjoy the 1906
