Big little brewery in the city of Schenectady with plenty of space to accommodate large crowds that gather for music events etc. Complete with a pizza shop in house, Annabels. Beer is sold locally at grocery stores and brewery has several available flagship beers as well as seasonal selections.

A great venue for private parties, getting together with friends or for the outdoor concerts. There is wood fired pizzas and other foods on their menu, though we had a catered private event. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and fantastic beers on tap. I hope they start distributing further west than Syracuse! Will stop by when in the area again, for sure.

The beer is was great! The service was great, and my friend was able to bring her toy poodle and we sat outside. The sun went away so it got a little chilly after a bit, but we still had a great time. We got there around 3 so we didn’t eat but the menu looked really delicious and I would happily return.

Great spot to bring someone you want to impress. Everyone's laid back and act like your friend. The food is delicious and the service is great. A killer choice for food and craft beer in Schenectady, NY

Came here after meeting a rep at another bar. Glad I did! This place is huuuuge on the inside and really well done from a design point. If interior design isn't your thing well, the beer is fantastic too. Had the "Cherry Hweat" and "Group Therapy Session" and both were good, especially the cherry wheat (one of the best wheat beers I can recall). Will definitely be coming back here.

The outdoor patio and live music were great. Dark beers: The porter and Charlie Brown (?) were good. I saw one of the bartenders eating something amazing and she gave me the details. I ordered it at the window that used to serve brick oven pizza, and it was an off menu item. Not sure if they’ll do it every day but definitely order the buffalo chicken fries. Comes topped with fresh, diced jalapeños, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce, and a generous amount of blue cheese or ranch and buffalo sauce. And don’t let the size fool you, that’s a whole entire meal.

Friday afternoon found me in Schenectady and I finally made it to this place. My first impression was how huge it is, encompassing almost an entire block. (Due largely to the event space and outdoor seating they have) but this was in the middle of winter. Inside was also pretty spacious with a large bar area and tables. Sat at the bar and ordered a flight. The beers I tried were delicious. They have a separate window to order food, which I didn’t that day but I’ll try it some other time. I hope to be back to sample more. The only thing I could possibly find a tad off was the friendliness of the staff. Don’t get me wrong, they were attentive and knowledgeable about the beer but their attitude and demeanor was a bit off-putting. Maybe caught them on a bad day. Anyway, I will go back just for the beer alone.

Massive. That was our first thought walking into this Schenectady brewery. The large, warehouse styled brewery is situated underneath a slew of fancy looking apartments; which is an awesome vibe. The massive space has ample seating (and standing) for large groups such as corporate happy hours; if you're place of business is that cool. The beer selection is expansive, with styles hitting every personal preference you may be looking for. We we're perfectly content with their array of lagers and IPA's on draft. Our favorite beer of the night was the Skull Frog DIPA. The solid DIPA showcased a hefty amount of Chinook, with a distinct pine/resin flavor. If you're a fan of the "west coast" style IPA's, you will really enjoy Skull Frog. Although we didn't try it, there is a pizza restaurant (Annabel's Pizza Co.) attached to the brewery, with a little ordering window inside the brewery! It's such a nifty feature, and a great addition to this brewery in our opinion.

I would have to say this is one of best brewing places I have been to around here. The service was great. Very polite and fast service. When I was here there was a band playing by the name of Tommy V the place was full. Went to the bar had a drink in my hand with in a few minutes. Very nice spaced out area for the people to enjoy your drink plus food. I had 1905 beer which was a new beer they came out with. Was very good plus I also ordered pretzels for a snack. Nothing like a fresh hot pretzel and cheese from the oven. The restroom was clean too which is always a plus in my book. Seemed like the staff here enjoy the job everyone of them had a smile on face which is great to see. The only thing that was short on was tables to sit at inside but this was probably due to the band that was playing this night when I stopped in. Will definitely be returning here to have some more beer and food. They had many items on tap which was nice to see as well. Also seen people eating pizza which is made here too which looked amazing.

The atmosphere is decent. The drinks are moderately priced. I had a trucking truffle melt grilled cheese and I thought the sandwich tasted okay. It feels like drunk people food made to offer more in texture than flavor. My thoughts were confirmed when I had the fries. They were extremely salty and hard to enjoy perhaps I hadn't had enough to drink to get the proper experience? This was on September 13th coyote ugly night. The chef was nice though

I got married at Frog Alley a little over a year ago. I would not recommend them to anyone. For context we signed a contract for our wedding 1 year before the event: 1. In our contract we requested the roof top for our ceremony. 2 weeks before the event Frog Alley told us they had sold the apartment building next door 6 months earlier and we would need to "apply" to have the ceremony on the roof (since they no longer owned it), AND it would be an extra $1200. Obviously 2 weeks before an event is not the time to hit a couple with something so expensive that we had not budgeted for, but also, the building was sold months earlier, why had this not been addressed earlier? 2. 8 months before our event Frog Alley decided that they wanted to host their BBQ competition the same weekend as our wedding. The event would be in the parking lot next to the building, with bands and BBQ vendors feet away from our wedding. My husband and I had to start looking for other venues, and in a last ditch effort to save the event, asked if Frog Alley could move the BBQ event to a different weekend, which they did. Again, the lack of consideration and planning is unbelievable. We had other issues but these two were the biggest by far. I would not recommend Frog Alley for your wedding unless you like an emotional roller coaster ride.

I was greated by a rude blue-haired lady without a hello but rather, its 15 dollars to just sit at the bar. Wont be going there again to spend my my money. What a fluke

Nicholas Silverman

Low-quality beer, rude staff, overpriced. Stay away and try out the many better breweries in the area!
