Food was average the fried broccoli and cheese $10 was frozen and mushy after frying just ok I didn't eat much... The boneless chicken wings $15. were good. Greek salad $13 was good with fresh cut up vegetables and of course the drinks were good A full glass of Riesling $9 and Sam Seasonal $14. Hopefully the menu will increase to maybe some sandwiches in the future. The best part was the happy go lucky server Lynne very pleasant to talk to and johnny on the spot when you needed something.

If you're a fan of domestic drafts they have $3 Miller and Coors lights everyday/all day. This week we got a hot Italian sandwich and a pizza and both were great.

This is a great neighborhood dive bar. They've got a lot of good, cheap beers on draft (the beers I…read morehad ranged from $3-$5 for a pint), the bar staff is very friendly, and the environment is chill. I came here with a bunch of friends last night and we all loved it. Will definitely be back!

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.

Ever since, I try to stop by about three or four times a year to enjoy the food and ambiance. The owners Mike and Barb are retiring 7/31/24 after fifty years. May they enjoy their retirement. The new owners, a couple from Schenectady, will keep the name and the menu. Bravo! It is a lot of work and long hours, but it was evident that the owners enjoyed their business and their customers, many of whom became regulars. You noticed that the food they prepared was made with love and expertise. It was consistently good. The menu has been constant over the years because it pleased customers and made the place a success. The roast beef and turkey are cooked daily. Plus, the potato salad and macaroni salad are made in house every morning by Barb. I had to stop by today to honor my memories of eating here over the years. I had a huge roast beef and turkey mix on rye with thousand island dressing and macaroni salad. Delicious as always. I took half home for my husband to enjoy. He did! My friend enjoyed a huge roast beef sandwich and a potato salad side. Even the dill pickle spears taste incredible here! It must be the yummy sandwich. We sincerely hope the quality and ambiance continue with the new owners. If that is the case, I look forward to supporting them. It is so much better than a chain restaurant.

This place is like your weird uncle's basement--but with darts, pool, strong drinks, and a…read moreshockingly clean bathroom. Like, disturbingly clean. You almost feel guilty using it. It's not trendy, it's not cute, and yes--you're literally hanging out in a basement. But it's got that divey charm that grows on you the longer you stay (or the more you drink). The jukebox slaps, the drinks are poured with love (and no measuring), and everything's within walking distance, so you don't even need to worry about how many shots you had. We came for "one drink" and ended up arguing over pool, slinging darts like pros, and bonding with strangers over random jukebox picks. The vibe is weird--but weirdly perfect. Come for the drinks. Stay for the vibe. Question your life choices on the walk home.

Peckhams is under new ownership this year, and we are loving what we've seen with the changes, so far. It is the same local basement bar atmosphere we love to love [I'm talking decent beer prices ("i pay less for a Wolf Hollow here than AT Wolf Hollw"), sports on TV, a pool table and space to be with your people] but with more UMPH and interest than recent years. I was THRILLED to see a live music scheduled throughout the year and have been excited by other events they've shared on social media, including offering a Turkey Dinner for anyone who may not have family and wanted to come by to eat and celebrate together on Thanksgiving. [and then my heart grew three sizes.] Added bonus: according to their website, Peckhams Place is now able to accommodate parties up to 75 people and they offer catering by Ruggiero's.

I still really like this place, but the service was way off on this particular day, even though they were not busy. We ordered three Road House Burgers, two with sweet potatoes fries, and one with regular fries. We were only served one burger w/ sweet potato fries, but we were charged $3 extra for each burger! And one burger was missing bacon. The amount of blue cheese crumbles and caramelized onions was minuscule. The burger patties themselves are unseasoned, so the toppings are key. Overall, it's a decent burger and I like their fries, but it's hard to overlook the mistakes with our ordering, especially when we were overcharged because of it.

Had to wait FOREVER just to get a drink at the bar, then another long wait to order food. I requested specifically wanted pink in my burger. We ordered salad, bone-in wings and medium "pink" burger. Was told that bartender was an owner and chef and burger would be pink. Wings arrived, boneless :( Burger was dry as a bone with hardly any flavor, wings were re-ordered and arrived piping hot, but dry as a bone. Bartender NEVER inquired how the food was, even though we didn't eat half. I requested a couple limes in my cocktail, received 2 dried up limes, which were old and shriveled and were not refreshed on my second drink. Nope, won't be back. It sucked.
