Recently planned a get together with some former coworkers. Needed a place to meet up. When I…read moregoogled, "good cheap eats in Schenectady," the 20 North Broadway Tavern topped the short list. Done. It was an instant hit. I wanted the pastrami sandwich pictured on the website. Turns out, it was every bit as good as it looked. Probably the best I've had in the Capital Region. I think it came with coleslaw but they let me switch it for a small salad. The beer was cold. The server/ bartender was both friendly and efficient. The food came up relatively quickly. I was relieved and delighted. The tavern has just the right look. It's cute from the outside with nice signage. Inside, the lighting is dim-- especially at night--with the feel of a cool dive bar. If you want a more festive setting during the summer, there's outdoor seating complete with hanging string lights. That actually looked very inviting but my friends chose to stay indoors due to the threat of rain. As we prepared to leave, my friends were wondering why they hadn't been to the tavern before. One thing for sure is that we'll be back for more "good cheap eats" and great beer.

Wings were pretty good, not a fan of the pastrami sandwich, the entire beer draft line was down. We…read moregot an order of garlic Parm wings and an order of hot buffalo wings and enjoyed them both. If you go there before 5 PM you will have to pay for parking across the street in the municipal lot which is not too expensive. Cute place seemed like nice people working there. We would go back for the wings.

Here's the deal. I was out with my daughter and we needed some grub. She is 16 so we obviously…read moreneeded to bring her boyfriend lol. He recommended this place and said the pizza was really good. So we get there and there's only two other people there. The bartender seemed like she was on it. Had the menus. Had the specials. Was talking to everyone. And she was quick with the refreshments. So the bar is as I remember it 20 years ago. Nothing super special but it's spacious and remotely clean. Bathrooms worked. They had darts and a pool table. So we order food. Mozz sticks. Pizza. A chicken wrap. And some loaded fries. Well unfortunately the fryer wouldn't kick on. I even went into the kitchen to see if I could figure it out. I couldn't. But the bartender and cook were both super cool and apologetic and we just ate what they brought out. They did have someone come and fix the issue too in under an hour they were back up and running. Which meant the owner cares in my opinion. Pizza was good. It's bar pie but the bottom was crispy and there was an enormous amount of cheese. The wrap was good and came with a decent house made Mac salad. In the end I'd recommend this place as a day drink and bite to eat. I imagine it may be a bit rowdy at night. But in all I would go back.

Kind of wish the rooftop area was closer to the front of the building for a better street view, but it's great nonetheless. Food wise, great tavern food, and if you've ordered from Nico's in the past, prior to the tavern addition, you know it's some of the best pizza you can find around here. The fries dishes are awesome value and some unique options (cheap and huge portions). One of my favorites is the buffalo shrimp, I go there just for them. They've always got a pretty good selection of beers as well. Bar staff is very knowledgable of their beers and liquors. Bar rarely gets too crowded or crazy, part of the reason why I like going so much.

I had a Fighting Irwin and it was pretty good. The downside was that the bartender was more into the conversation with the regulars than checking on other people. I probably would have stayed for a second beer but when I finally got their attention it was time to go. I'd probably go back again for a beer and a pizza.

The bar has been filled with fancy looking drinks the first two times I visited, leading me to choose my own fancy cocktail during visit #3 - the Jumanji, a rum based fruity drink that hit the spot. 3. I love, love, LOVE that we have found a new music venue for local tunes several nights of the week. I've seen one new-to-me artist and came back another night when a band I've seen before was visiting. Both nights had good sound, great lighting, and people dancing in the building. My kinda night! 4. the vibes are chill enough to not feel stuffy and updated enough to feel like you are in a trendy spot with the cool kids 5. haven't visited when it isn't chilly, yet, but I am STOKED to spend time on the outdoor back patio, after taking a look during my last visit.
