Susies Pub Albany Reviews
After 20 years in albany it’s still my favorite place ❤️. Nice well kept comfortable place, awesome folks and a sweet patio.
Chill, down to earth dive with friendly people and a welcoming atmosphere. The backyard is a big plus too!
Little small and expensive but it draws a great crowd and friendly staff, never had a bad time here; one of my go to bars in Albany
Awesome lil pub in my old neck of the woods. Great music as well.
Best local dive in Lark. Great beer and bartenders...no bullshit late night place in Albany.
Nice chill spot with great patio
Very Nice Place to have a good time,Drinks and Good Atmosphere
I like going here for a chill time. Cool bartenders.
The best bar, love the staff. It is my second home.
Good atmosphere, excellent drinks, and a lovely bartender!
Always Amazing. One of the best patios in albany
My favorite bar in Albany.
Josh was the best!!!! Great drinks and great atmosphere.
Love this joint. It’s been a while.
Cool vibes with a low-key crowd
Very friendly place to go to. Tell me about a very good atmosphere. Very good people
The "Cheers" of Albany bar. Great customer service, real authentic people, caring vibe, and the clientele that usually goes are funny, charismatic and interesting. Great place to be.
I was most definitely drunk if I was here. Good time, I suppose. Can't be sure I was drunk.
Great little watering hole. Awesome patio. Great bar tenders. Feel like part of family
Neighborhood pub with character Great bartender. It seems like an inviting locals bar hiding in plain sight. Was here decades ago (the Griffin at the time) and nothing has changed except the floors aren’t nearly as sticky!

Daisy is the best bartender ever. Just such an absolute gem. Go in on a Sunday and you'll have a good time.
One of my absolute favorite dive bars in Albany!!
Excellent small bar with a great outdoor patio space and food available from The Local 217 (generally until 9pm). Great spot!
Recently visited Susie's for the first time. Enjoyed the atmosphere, the bartender was a delight. And as a bartender myself I can be critical. Had an overall great time, and will definitely be considering Susie's over other options in the future
Sweet bartender kept our glasses full and the people at the bar we're very welcoming and inclusive! Learned about a new band we've never heard of before and we've added it to our California road trip playlist!
If you have ever thought "I'd rather stick a fork in my ear than go to the Lionheart again" then step away from the silverware because there is salvation close by. It's small but the bartender on the night I went was wonderful. The people closest to the jukebox played an unbelievably awesome set of music seemingly focused around the concept of "songs featured in 80s movies" for the first hour we were there. We stuck to the dart board (electronic but do you really want to do math while drinking?) but I spied with my little eye a little box on the bar that may just have had Photo Hunt. Next time, my friend. Anyway you want upstate New York in a bar... go to this one. I can't vouch for everyone but I saw exactly zero people I went to high school with here. Just saying.
Celebrated a very happy event at Susie's tonight. Best bar, bartenders, and clientele that I've ever encountered. Special thanks to the bartender Josh. No doubt I'll be back when I return to Albany.
This place is a welcoming community. Josh engaged in Pleasant conversation with my group and I tonight and we left feeling nothing but happy. This is a great place with GREAT people
Susies is awesome. Great pub with great bartenders. Very cool outside patio seating too, with games, live music, etc. Also great food at their sister place, The Local 217 Taproom, right next door. Check it out!
Classic Albany dive. Kyle is always great behind the bar.
I like to sit here and look sad. It makes me happy.
We had a great night here! Dim lighting with a slight retro vibe, our bartender Lauren was friendly and responsive. This place is definitely a staple watering hole in Albany!
One of my favorite spots. Lauren K is the sweetest ever and I love going to see her on her shifts. ♡ juke box is awesome and it's a nice stress free hang.
Hands down one of the best secret "hole in the wall" bars. Deceptively drab on the outside. Inside, the bar is dimly lit and cozy. Nice clients, wonderful bartenders. and the owner is just a doll. Moving through the bar you can exit on to the back patio, which is far more spacious. Just a great place to end your night of pub of crawling.

Great spot to grab a whiskey and have a smoke on the deck, I just miss the pinball
Nice little basement bar with an outside patio in the heart of the Madison and Lark Street area
Nice beers with a chilled atmosphere. Gets a little busy late on the weekends.
Small but diminutive. Dimly lit to hide the squalor. Double check your tabs and credit card receipts.
Total local's saloon, but in an amicable sort of way.
Decent dive bar good patio out back
Fun divey atmosphere with some good beers on tap. Dart machine available. Quite good sized back deck open in the warmer months when it's dry out.
Just a great dive bar ❤️

I ordered a Manhattan, but they had no cherries. Then we went to the patio and there was a huge exhaust fan making tons of noise.
Cheap drinks, small place, extremely rude arrogant female bartender
You should *not* go to this place if you care about customer service and think bartenders should be nice to you
Bad drink... the bartender made our drinks wrong and served it in a dirty glass 😵 yuck
Soon as I hit the door it smelled like poo. Strong odor. I couldn't stay long.
The skinny lady with the dark hair is mean as hell, my Uber was 1 minutes away and she told me “it’s winter it’s not up to us to shelter you while your car / ride comes” 😂😂😂 and the icing on the cake is she works there but wasn’t even on the clock that night or bartending so she was really just there to watch the patrons. Horrible
First + last time I go there. Went during Happy Hour but charged full prices, not given receipt. Wouldn't help me by calling a cab, even tho I was walking w a cane. Had to find taxi svc. blocks away, w sustained injuries. Cost way too much for less than mediocre.
So stopped by for a beer with my friend. She stepped out and the bar tender went out and just took her drink, re en-burst our money (at least that prick did that)and pretty much kicked us out. He could’ve handled it better and differently. We are pretty much weekly customers, and the business just lost 2 of them. Thank you a…hole for your professionalism tjat cost your employer 2 exyra customers. Never stepping in there again
