We loved everything about this pub. Such a nice chill atmosphere with terrific play lists. Our service was excellent as was the food. Great variety of foods from a rustic flavorful squash soup to the burgers and fries. Many varieties on the Moscow Mule and lots of draft beer choices. This was a perfect finish to our day in Albany.

Had a fantastic time, and was our first time here. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are top notch. The service by Joel was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone. Had the pork belly appetizer,, along with a burger, and crispy chicken sandwich. Look forward to returning.

Having first visited Savoy Taproom a few months back, I knew my husband would enjoy it as he was looking to try someplace new for dinner last evening. Their website is straightforward in stating they require vaccination cards and they mean it too. We like that. If you don't, there are plenty of other options in town. Continuing on the safety-first journey, you'll find they don't offer menus and instead point you to their website which is easy to navigate. From what I saw, all staff wore masks and they wore them properly - over the nose. We started our evening with a Tito's Vodka Martini and their current Old Fashioned: Saintly Daddy. Simple said about the martini: they pour a good one. The Old Fashioned was bright, warm, and refreshing on a cold winter night. With a hint of pear and the aroma of the dried orange crisp, I had to have two. For starters, we ordered their Poached Pear Salad and the Crispy Cauliflower. Both were quite unique with the pear salad being on the lighter, sweet, and savory side. The cauliflower, having been fried, is a heartier salad with small bits of pickle providing a bright pop. Both were winners! While we hoped to order the Flat Iron steak, it wasn't being offered at the time. (We look forward to trying that in the future!) Instead, I ordered the Mississippi Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries. The crispy chicken breast was served on a perfectly toasted brioche bun. It was topped with pickles, lettuce, tomato, and their Jackson sauce which is similar to the Golden Arch's 'special sauce'. I didn't see if there was an up-charge but I had the Buffalo Bourbon fries. The sauce was deliciously tangy though I did find the fries to be a bit drenched in the sauce. I'd suggest asking them to go light on the sauce or serve it on the side. Ignoring the advice of our server, my husband ordered 10 Jumbo Wings instead of the suggested 5 with their Medium sauce. They were indeed jumbo and the sauce was spot on...not too mild, not too hot, and had great flavor. Needless to say, 5 is enough as he brought the other 5 home. For dessert, we took home the Lovin' Spoonful Big Chocolate Cake which is a chocolate lover's dream: chocolate on chocolate on chocolate! We also got the Creme Brulee Cheesecake which is an interesting and tasty combination of the two desserts wrapped up in a single slice of pie. If you can't tell, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and look forward to many more at the Savoy Taproom. Shout out to Amanda and Keri for making our evening a success! Thoughts for management: Put QR codes on tables to help guide patrons to your menu. Dress up your to-go desserts a bit with a garnish of some sort; they pale in comparison to the in-house plating you do with other dishes.

Best restaurant we've been to in awhile. The bar had a fun atmosphere, the other dining area was cute and casual. Halloween drinks were fantastic. I wish I had taken pics of our food. We had the Area 51 wings (buffalo bourbon & honey mustard), buffalo bourbon fries, the Mississippi chicken sandwich, and a blue cheese bacon burger I don't remember the name of. Portions are huge, they give you a TON of fries & they are the best in Albany. The chicken was hanging off the bun in every direction. The burger was perfectly cooked. The staff was very friendly. We even took leftovers home and everything was just as good re-heated the next day. I suggest making reservations on the weekend - we only got in without a long wait on a Friday night because someone didn't show for their reservation.

Magical place. Amazing eclectic atmosphere with good music, awesome bartenders and excellent faire. There’s a front side, side, bar area, outside back, basement… back patio has heating lamps…check it all out and find your spot. Eggplant special and beet salad was delicious.

I have spent a few weekend nights at this fine establishment. They actually expertly craft the cocktails. The bartenders do not shy away from a request. This one bartender made me a mojito that was so delicious. Besides the delicious original twists on old classics, their food menu is comprehensive. But wait there's more! After 10pm they make burgers and have a evening menu. Such a delicious plate of food with expert cocktails. This place isn't cheap but then again, you are here because you want the best damn cocktails in Albany NY and that's what you get. The atmosphere is amazing too. Keep up the great work! I'm a local and this review is my own view.

My friend here for the first time. Drinks were amazing. Very pricey, and there was a long wait time to get drinks. I realize it takes time to make these cocktails, but I wasn't really greeted and had to speak up to even the recognized at the bar. The atmosphere was awesome We sat on the couch lounge area and were able to have a nice long conversation.

I had a great experience at The Savoy in Albany. The burger was absolutely delicious juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Their drinks are no joke either, generously poured and well-crafted, which made for a fun and relaxed evening. We also tried the shishito pepper hummus, which had a nice kick and great flavor. The only surprise was that it was served cold, I wasn’t expecting that but it still paired really well with the assortment of fresh, high-quality breads that came with it. Overall, a solid spot for great food, strong drinks, and a cool atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

There were mixed reviews between Google and yelp but the photos of the food is what compelled me to go here. I thought the food was great. I had a Brooklyn Pub Burger with garlic parmesan fries. The server was less than attentive and didn't really seem to want to be there like she was annoyed to have to do her job. All and all, If you are in the area, I recommend you stop by and have a bite to eat in a good atmosphere.

A cozy place for a nice evening to spend with friends and have a couple of drinks and the food is really good, something different to definitely give a try! We had Peruvian chicken wings and piri piri shrimp, both tasted amazing! Prices are a little high for the drinks.

I don’t really no where to start. Terrible service, I was with my girlfriend and the waitress just had a terrible attitude the entire time made us feel like we were bothering her. In the photos it shows a sandwich half eaten but the reason I showed the photo is because of the size of the actual piece of chicken. For 16 dollars I should not be eating majority of bread and onion and lettuce etc. I’m not sure if was just a bad day but regardless would not recommend there are better bars in Albany with wayyyyy better service.
