Chill vibe. Small space. Good place to gather friends and have a low-key night out

Would recommend for anyone looking to have a lively Friday night while passing through Troy!

Dark but alluring corner bar with hidden secrets in its walls...

They always have great cocktail specials and the bartenders are always fun and helpful. Also, skeeball!

Hidden gem w/ two arcade rooms & great beer selection!

Cool big bar with old arcade games. Local/college crowd

Enjoyed fine service and Founders Porter

Cool and fun place to be on a weekend

One of my favorite establishments .. draws a great crowed with a ton of character. The building was an old bank! They still have the original volts inside!! Go check it out!!

Always a fun time! Best tunes on the juke box. Staff is super friendly. Great atmosphere.

Bre the bartender kicks ass! This place has a great mix of beers and specialty drinks, the space is really cool, and there are classic games like skee ball, darts, foosball. I dig it.

This place is super cool with reasonable prices. I love that there is a small outdoor area to get some air, smoke, etc. Lots of fun games to play and plenty of space for hanging out.

The decorations for Halloween were off the hook. Great atmosphere exceptional service. Overall a great place to hang out .

This place is amazing! Reasonable prices for drinks and friendly fun staff. You did lie about them having karaoke though.

Such a cozy place! Unique decor, friendly bartenders, great drinks, games, outdoor area, Bingo nights etc... Good place to grab drinks with friends or a date.

Don't let the name fool ya ("Footsie Magoo" sounds like a very non-threatening gangster from a prohibition cartoon). This is a hipster mecca. Loads of fun.

Was a fun spot, with plenty of games and a good crowd. Bathrooms kinda small for the busier times. Plenty of quiet spots to get away from the crowd.

Need new tap beers. Otherwise I love the bar!

Fun atmosphere with arcade games like bacce ball and foosball, neat decorations, and an outdoor area. Service is fast and friendly, drinks are always good

A few analog arcade cabinets of varying games add to the locations entertainment value, additionally a very nice looking large bar, can be a relaxed spot.

Awsome bar. Small arcade, great drinks, good music, darts, back patio area. Overall the vibes are ther.

good times! love how far they go decking the place out for holidays

Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, obviously cleaned frequently and thoroughly, would love to come here more often if my schedule would allow

Fun bar with a great atmosphere. Friendly staff, cool decorations for all sorts of holidays and bingo om wednesdays.

always a pleasure. Jordan is the best! she is a great conversationalist and always knows how to make you feel at home

Always a good time !

Such a Fun place for drinks, would definitely recommend people to swing thru and enjoy the places unique feel

Best dive bar in town! Lots to see, and plenty of room. And, it has some more intimate spaces as well.

Bartender was absolutley amazing and the drinks were great!! Definitely will be recommending to friends and family😁

So Much Fun & Always Decorated Beautiful 🤩

The best thing about this bar is definitely the drinks. My wife and I have frequented this please for about three years and have never been disappointed with the service. They even graciously opened their doors for our wedding reception on one their off days. Every friend we have taken there has always gone back. Love this place. Hands down one of the best bars in this little city.

I always enjoy going to Footsy Magoos. They do the best decorating than any other bar in Troy. They also have lots of different spaces within the bar to get away from the big crowds.

This is a cool little spot to visit. A bartender in the area actually told me to check this place out for other bar selections. It's really nice and has a cool atmosphere. The drinks are good and the bartenders are nice and friendly.

Great drinks in a great atmosphere. During the week, it's the best place for a quiet drink in Troy. I love their patio outback. The best part is that it is the most beautiful room in Troy.

This is our neighborhood bar, great drinks, darts, pinball, and other arcade games always superb service.. We especially enjoy the outside sitting area and the owner is pretty awesome, always smiling and gracious for your presence in his establishment.

Amazing place. Best known hide away. Must go

This is my favorite bar in Troy. They have arcade games to play, friendly bar tenders, a nice smoking area, and bingo on Wednesday. It's also right next to slidin dirty if you want some food.

This is a fun place to get drinks. The place looks awesome inside. There are a few arcade-like games to play, which are fun. Since there is no bar food, make sure you eat before you come.

Great place for a late night drink fix. Friendly staff! Gets busy after 10pm on weekends. Small selection of arcade games including pinball and skee ball.

Sweet bartender, great drinks, cool atmosphere.

Amanda

I've only had a good time here. It can get crowded on Friday and Saturday night.

Susan Corr

Stumbled upon this bar while taking an evening walk in Troy NY and we were drawn in by the awesome Halloween decorations. It was such a fun atmosphere and the cocktails were great. Bartenders were friendly and the locals were chatty too. We had a great time and would love to go back at Christmas because we hear they decorate for that holiday too

Eva Sierra

i didnt grab any food but for my first time going there i loved the atmosphere and it was still halloween decorated so it was super cute , the bar tender was super nice and drinks are cheap . Will be visiting more often ☺️

Q IsWhatTheyCallMe

It would be perfect if they only had a pool table. But definitely good vibes! Great place to meet new people!

Jason Villarreal

Bree the bartender was magical and sweet! Great service and really made us feel special. We are visiting from out of town and she knew how to make us feel like a regular!

Inayah Gabbiano

Came on a Thursday night. Bree, the bartender, friendly, attentive, fast service. Had her make me two Mai Tais, and made me phenomenal drinks. $10 for a cocktail not too bad, considering the pricing at rival establishments in this day and age. They don't serve food, FYI. Definitely gonna return soon and try other cocktails.

Maria I

Always a good time in this unique venue! They are known for their wide variety of martinis!

Tonight at Footsy Magoos it's all about the specialty cocktails and playing "friendly games..." Cheers to the Chai Collins and Spicy Gingerman, both very original, clever, and tasty! TGIF. May the best man win...🥳 👍👍👍

Christa Daley

A good bar is hard to find, especially when it's Footsy Magoos. Once you find your way there, prepare yourself for an experience! Eclectic design, fantastic cocktails, a friendly bartender, and games from years gone by make this hidden gem in Troy a must-see!

My daughter and her friends were followed into this bar by a weird guy in the middle of the day. The bartender, along with a patron, were great with getting the guy to leave and making them feel safe. Whoever you guys were, thanks - you're very much appreciated.

Daved Ben-Levi

Very cozy spot karaoke on Tuesday nights, excellent drinks, darts, Ms. Pacman, hockey, variety of interesting things to do. Enjoy the atmosphere. Had a great time. Good place in Troy to socialize an bring a party 🎉 meet after work, have celebrations 🥂..

Lisa Pelech

Love love love the atmosphere. Bartenders are very friendly and the bar is big! Drinks are reasonable and they have a cute back deck outdoors. The pool table room is fun and the side gathering rooms are cool too. The only downfall are the small bathrooms. One of our favorite places to go.

Fun local bar in a building with great architecture on the inside.

this is a weird place, stick to the weekdays and you'll enjoy yourself. the outdoor seating area/smoking area reminds me of smoking on my breaks during my high school jobs, and i dig it

Great atmosphere, been going here for years. Some parts of the bar could be updated though.

It's a good bar to go to except if you want to eat.

Good music. Great drinks. 3am last call. Love the name.

We went for a couple of drinks for my birthday. I had the Fall Sangria...it was delicious!

Interesting decor and cool drink specials. Get's really crowded on weekends.

Nice place to hangout, only having one bathroom can be an issue sometimes.

Really cool atmosphere. A little pricey and not a whole lot on tap. Definitely going back with friends though.

Fun bar with games and different spaces. Cheap drinks and friendly staff. Bouncer is a good guy.

Friendly bar. Great staff and good selection of drinks. Work friends of mine go here very often 2-3 times a week. I go along with them occasionally and it's always a good laugh. Definitly recommended.

Super unique and funky place...loved it. Bartender spent a lot of time doing her makeup and singing behind the bar instead of being attentive or interactive.

Ashanti L

Cool place!! Went there for the first time. Loved the Halloween decorations and the games!!! Love the quirkiness and the feel. Bartender was nice. Didn't realize they didn't serve food until we got there but no biggie. Overall, had a blast!!

This place is so hit or miss, and has missed more times than hit. Great backyard.

Used to be a favorite place when it was "unknown" to most. Now it's not the fun , friendly place it used to be

always fun great bar cool game room in the back

They pour a great drink. Cute vibe, mixed crowd. Good stop if your heading out in downtown Troy

Nice bar quieter than alot of them bartenders were great. Bouncers were hovering over everyone all night, hard to enjoy yourself. Bouncers also would not let you close bathroom door when you were using it. Kinda creepy.

My 2nd time at this place and the atmosphere is good but both times my drinks was watered down I had to ask the bartender could she do them over but other then that it's a Kool spot to hang

Brian Alvarez

Chill place to drink. But if you dont like white music then it's very boring. Cheap drinks but I swear I need some perreo or dembow or anything else besides music that you would hear in a cruise/white wedding party 😭😭

Kind of dirty. Took out the spider stomp game, and the only quarter machine is between two active dart boards. Oh yea, it's a bar too.

Service could be better, I believe one of the employees or something was being very disrespectful and yelling up a storm and this should be taken into account and looked into.

Neat atmosphere, odd seating, nice staff and decent prices. The bar is a shell of what it used to be. Staff turnover is tremendous, and I hear from staff the owner is neurotic and always looking at the cameras making a fit. Haven’t felt a good vibe in here in years.. plenty of other worthwhile bars in town.

Frankie Auleta

Well idk this place is kinda not my fit, overcharged for singles, and overcharged my pending charge and extra 4$ for a drink for no reason, didn't get it until I noticed the update on my card a couple days later. Respectful for the most part but don't want ya having too much fun when ur drinking....idk just not the spot for everybody. Singles are 11$ and doubles are 13$....kinda trash.

Over priced and bartender had major additude...watched him cash out 3 people before coming to take my order and he looked right at me before taking card from them

Footsie Magoos is the best bar I've ever been to in my LIFETIME! The food! The service! The atmosphere! All amazing! 😍

Bouncers have there own agenda outside of protecting the peace.

Owners a bearded dick who encourages young women to drink past closing. Only go for ski ball and because my finance I mean fiancé made me the night we got engaged

Refused to let me in with a valid Pennsylvania ID. Refused to scan my drivers license or view an old ID to prove that the ID was real. The bouncer was very rude after I affirmed that it was a real ID.

DO NOT GO HERE. I went around 12:15 AM on 8/21 with a group of my girl friends. My friend had to use the bathroom urgently and the men’s room was the closest. It was a single stall bathroom so we thought it would be ok, no one’s privacy was being invaded. The same guy who was checking IDs at the door asked if there was a girl in the bathroom and we told him yes. He busted the door open while she was still using the bathroom and screamed about how girls weren’t allowed in there. This was a violating experience for her and he should be fired. If he needed to kick us out for not following a rule, he could have at least waited until she was done. Disgusting behavior. If you are a woman, please be careful here.

Bouncer rejected my ID after a very lengthy examination that included bending, scratching, and likely damaging my ID. In addition, he acted like a total *sshole about it, including asking me what I was doing at his bar in a very condescending manner. He did not give any reasoning whatsoever to rejecting me, and simply scanning my ID would have revealed that I'm 100% of legal age. I was excited to try a new bar in the town of my college, but will now be sure to never visit again, and make sure to dissuade any of my friends from doing the same. The incident took place around 10:00 on September 17th, and all the bouncer succeeded in was costing the bar a customer.

Horrible experience! The blond, short girl last night named Nicollete, had the worst attitude since the minute we walked in. There were a handful of people at the bar so she was not busy. We sat down and we waited for her to finish making her friend a drink. She did not not say Ill be with you all in a minute and just ignored us completely. It was not until I asked about the drink specials that she she looked our way, which was in front of her btw. Even then she did not even want to tell us that. Once she asked us for our order, she then tells my friend that she is sitting in her friends chair. Mind you, there were other seats available but then presses my friend over this seat. Who does that? She had a snarky attitude and It sucks that I will not stop by anymore bc of her. I will be telling everyone I know about this so that they do not go either..

Had an awful experience was kick out for "falling asleep" on new years eve i had started to get over stimulated by the massive amount of people so i went near the front entrance to get some air i was lean against the wall taking slow breaths to try to compose my self and my anxiety and i can understand what that may have looked like to a bouncer but instead of politely asking me to leave or saying he buddy u need to go the guy just grabbed my shirt and dragged me out which just made me internally freak out more so i wait about 10 mins to calm doen and said hey im sorry im not to sure it is that i did exactly but may i please go back in my girlfriend and her friends are in there still and he said no in which i responded ok i totally understand and am not trying to start any problems in which he responded "u were falling asleep" wasnt loud wasn't like he thought i was gonna throw up ig if u have anxiety domt go to footys ur not welcome

Adam

Usually an okay bar but inadequate and low quality security for busy weekend nights leading to untimely resolved escalations and bias protection for supposably regulars.

Roma

Security is on point when it comes to making normal patrons take off their bandanas due to “gang activity” but constantly drops the ball when their “regulars” are acting trashy as hell, instigating fights, and throwing drinks on people.

Connor Murphy

Got into an altercation with supposed regulars, one of whom threw a drink in my wife’s face. We were then told to leave even though the other party was the aggressor in the situation. We have multiple videos from other people in the bar at the time which clearly show the other party approaching and instigating a confrontation and shoving members of our party before the drink was thrown. The guy who threw the drink should be banned for life but most likely won’t since they allegedly are there 5 nights a week and probably keep the lights on. Would never go here again and support a bar that accommodates a man who would throw a drink at a woman.

Owen McGee

Bouncer saw me (a man) hug my friend (another man) and angrily shoved us both out, telling us "we don't want your kind here." We aren't even gay, but thanks for letting us know your bar is run by bigots. Not coming back

Henry McKenna

dirty looks from the bouncer for being overage and allowed to be there. He was looking at ids for wayyy too long and have everyone a hard time even if ur overage. bar tender was rude. cool games.
