Match Point Brewing Albany Reviews
Unique theme and brews (not just unusual btw - they’re delicious). If you’re seeking an out of the ordinary micro brewery you owe it to yourself to go!
10/10 friendly and would make my weekly spot if I lived closer. Normally you expect non-involved service at a brewery, but was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and engagement from their staff and the attached restaurant. Food and beer was delicious. Will be back 100%
Great beer and atmosphere! Their masala chai amber lager is to die for.
310 next door serves fantastic food right to the bar. Full burger menu! Super fun to try the flights as they come out with new ales. Local beer on tab. Good vibes.

Really good beer and great vibes, the owners take a lot of care in the space and the community. I loved the Mandarin Wheat & my wife liked the 5 spice saison. The brewery is connected to the 310 Eatery next door so you have a great full food menu to order from. Family friendly, we'll be bringing our toddler next time!
A great emerging space that deserves to have a full house most nights! The beer is quality (try the milk tea amber for a unique treat) and the 310 next door is great as a food option. I went to Wednesday trivia and had a wonderful time, although it would definitely help to have a dedicated trivia host if possible to avoid pauses in the game while beers are being poured.
Matchpoint is awesome! Great bar with tv to watch sports, small setup to play games, and great beer for all kinds of tastes! It’s also connected to a restaurant next door with such a friendly staff that even catered to our vegan diet! Definitely grab a beer (and some tamarind fries) next time you are in the area!
I really enjoyed this brewery! I came in for their Monday mahjong event where the owner Simon will teach you how to play (Simon, please buy a new set of dice). Really interesting beer selections: I got a Jasmine rice lager, also sampled the hojicha cream ale and Vietnamese coffee nitro). One patron purchased an apple cider with a shot of apple soju... twice! Great ambiance, there were some regulars who came by to watch sports on the TVs. As the name indicates, it's a tennis themed brewery. Fun, casual, not too loud spot that seems like a nice place to turn into your regular hangout if you live close enough!
I like that they draw inspiration from Asian flavors; the Jasmine Rice Lager is one of my favorites. Their beers go great with the food from their partner, 301 Eatery. Service was great all around and there's plenty of seating, so it was a great place for my friends and I to get together.
Beer was delicious, and the food from 310 next door was a great addition to my late night snack. The owner Simon, and the servers from 310 were also super friendly. Happy to have another local bar to head to.
Great new brewery in downtown Albany with a locals’ vibe, really nice people, and delicious and unique take on beer. Plus awesome food with a full menu from 310 eatery next door. Everyone should go check it out!
Great local spot with interesting asian-inspired flavors as well as more traditional beers. You can get food from the restaurant next door and eat it here. Simon is friendly and I always enjoy chatting with him.
Great space with friendly service. Nice for watching sports games and drinking beer, of course. Connected to a delicious restaurant if you get hungry.
Interesting house beers! Flight was 14 dollars and well worth it. The head brewer was very friendly and the place was immaculately clean.
The jasmine rice lager, Vietnamese coffee lager and mandarin wheat ale are all excellent, balanced and sessionable. These aren’t gimmick beers. Beers for people who like beer. Good service and food from Nextdoor burger joint was great too. Check it out!
As others have noted, really good beer and nice atmosphere. Very enjoyable.
Awesome locally-owned AAPI brewery with unique, Asian-inspired brews. Passionate, welcoming owner building community! Major bonus points for partnership with 310 Eatery, which serves some of the favorite burgers of all time!
Good beers, good vibes, great service. What else can you ask for? Went for trivia night this week with quite a crowd and had a fantastic experience. The bar space was bright and airy, the Olympics were on, and the beer was cold. Mix of house beers, with a special focus on lighter lagers and rice beers, with some outside taps. Everything my group tried was tasty, and it's a fresh set of flavors. Service was friendly and very attentive. The food next door is very nice as well.

Cool new spot with tasty, easy to drink beers with Asian inspired flavors. Great service and delicious food you can order from their partner restaurant next door!

I had tried a flight of their beers and I have to say I was surprised by the Five Spice Saison. Owners are great and my group and I even got to participate in their sports trivia. Love the theming and they even use tennis rackets for their tap handles! Will be coming back again!

When I think of community, I think of Matchpoint Brewery! A true ALB local team creating AAPI centered brews while having a literal open door to neighboring 310 Eatery so guests can enjoy delicious beer and yummy food together. The co-owner, Simon, also accommodates those who do not drink while providing an abundance of non-alcoholic options which makes it an amazing experience for everyone to enjoy. This is THE spot you want to be at on a weekend or a Friday night. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
Solid brewery, a very clean and inviting energy ~ Friendly owner, very unique brews on draft, with an emphasize in Asian flavours, infkunce. Solid guest taps also ~ good from 310 Eatery next door is allowed inside

Awesome brewery with a Tennis theme! I love their seasonal flavors like the melon beer. They also play sports games here such as the Super Bowl. It's cool they have a game cube and smash brothers set up for customers to play! They also have the 310 Eatery right next door which you can bring over to the brewery to enjoy a nice cold brew with a tasty burger!
