Recensioni di The Excelsior Pub Albany
I love this place. I will follow Jay anywhere. They make great food too!
Amazing food and excellent buffalo wings, especially. Love the theme and atmosphere. Garbage plate is really good too
We stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the arena. We were packed in like sardines, with nowhere left to sit and the kitchen had run out of food. And yet the place still felt chill and welcoming. The bartender/owner was attentive and super friendly, despite the absolute chaos that must have been happening behind the bar. Any employees we saw were friendly and informal. Exactly what you want from a dive in Albany. I have social anxiety and so rarely go out to pubs. But I will absolutely be going back here. Hopefully when the kitchen still has some food left.
delicious local spot! weck wednesday was incredible, beautiful meat. small restaurant but cozy environment with pinball & darts.
All the bartenders rule. The food rules. The pinball rules. It's a people's pub.
Found myself in the area for work and came here to try a garbage plate. Really enjoyed it. Awesome little place
Excellent ambiance and service bar tender went above what was ask. If you are in the Capital Region I would highly recommend this place👌🏿
What a fantastic place. The food was amazing. Small menu of items from all over New York, but everything we had was delicious! The on-tap beer selection was extensive and great. The bartender was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you’re ever in Albany PLEASE PLEASE stop in and enjoy a beer, a Shirley temple(my daughter had 3), and the wings or garbage plate!
My wife and I stopped in after hearing that they had garbage plates, after expecting a mediocre plate at best so far from our old home (Rochester), we were pleasantly surprised. The plate actually held up to some of the best ones we’ve had back in the 585. The employees were also very friendly and full of great conversation. We will definitely be back to The Excelsior Pub!
I was on the hunt for a Garbage Plate in my new home of the Capital Region; this is the only place I could find one on the menu...and I looked all over. I spent way too much time toiling with the prospect of not being impressed by a plate 200+ miles from Rochester. In my head, I said to myself, there are plates in Rochester that don't even impress; why should I give the time of day to someone so far removed? It took me over two years to finally pull trig. In retrospect, I am kicking myself. Portions aside, the plate here is absolutely fantastic, like wtf. The meat sauce seems to keep the obligatory warmth of nutmeg and cinnamon, but has a delicate spice that absolutely delights in its own way. The mac salad lights up my tongue with the zest of celery and the home fries give me the crunch that I deserve. The burgers are the greasy vessel that I have come to expect, but offer much more cohesion than a typical plate. I am barely exaggerating when I say this might be Top 2 plates of my lifetime. Couple that with an awesome atmosphere and an amazing happy hour and you've got gold. Thank you guys for scratching my itch.
A great bar with great service and great food. I had a great time there. It was my first time in Albany. Had a blast drinking and talking with locals. I can usually handle my liquor but I really over did it. I completely blacked out drinking with strangers and woke up in my hotel room and not tied up in someone’s basement which is a huge plus. Hopefully they let me in next time I visit. I highly recommend this place. Becka is an incredible bartender!
This is a great hidden gem in downtown Albany! They have a NYS theme, so they have a wide selection of NYS craft beers, as well as regional NY food specialties like Beef on Weck, Spiedies, Reubens, and of course Steamed Hams (IYKYK). They have a full bar of NYS craft liquor as well, I recommend the Rough Rider Happy Warrior cask strength bourbon, or the 1911 apple vodka makes a great vodka tonic. Their wings are the best in Albany, always big and crispy. Atmosphere is laid back, with live music or other entertainment scheduled regularly. Check it out!
I love their compost pile (vegetarian garbage plate). They serve their mozzarella sticks with melba and have Utica Club on tap. What else could you ask for?
One of my favorite spots. The owner is a good dude, very nice and funny. The regulars are fun to talk to and all the staff are nice. I've met the most interesting people here. Going for trivia nights is always the highlight of my week. I love that they focus on all NY stuff. Their rotating flavors of pancakes on the weekends are my favorite.
Top Albany bar. Only serves drink and fare from NY State. Our bartender Adam made some incredible wings and was super friendly. Small and very intimate atmosphere; frankly a breath of fresh air compared to other bars in the area. Can’t wait to go back!
My favorite bar in the world! I live in Rochester now and this bar makes me question my choice every day. Great atmosphere, awesome on-theme menu, and carefully curated tap list of NY’s finest. If you love New York, you owe it to yourself to stop by.
This place is great. The food was fantastic and meeting up my with my friends here is always an attraction. They've got trivia night on Thursdays which draws an incredible crowd of people from a variety of generations. They have such things on their menu as a garbage plate, a compost pile, and of course my favorite the good old steamed ham. Truly a treat and a delight. Come here and bring your friends the prices are always right and the staff is always friendly and polite.
Great pub right below Empire State Plaza. Great selection of NYS craft beers, some of the best chicken wings I’ve had, and yes, they steam a good ham. (It’s a regional dialect.)
I love this place. They have pinball machines! The owner, Jay, was there when I went and he was a very nice person. The chicken wings were 🔥. I never had a "garbage plate" before and I am so glad I had it here. Trying the different beers was fun and I am looking forward to trivia night on Thursday. Come check them out! Real chill place. 💓💓
Great little spot. Beer and liquor are all from NY companies. Great selection. Food is delicious comfort food. Pizza logs were delicious, especially with the meat sauce/gravy that comes on a few of the dishes. Bartender was great. Knowledgeable and friendly. Locals were great as well.
Waited almost 20 minutes without being served on Sunday afternoon! Small space, tough to get up or down the bar area.
I don't drink went for the food a different time felt like I didn't belong there but I ignored it ordered food was good went yesterday and felt again I didn't belong there bartender literally walked past a couple times before asking me wat I wanted I just ordered my food I should have got out a there I got chicken wings and the ruben sandwich I specifically said no sourcrout she put it on my sandwich and served me old wings thy were hard as a rock not even fresh warmed up old chicken wings and the first time I went there she was outside I had to go outside and ask for her and she was outside smoking the green stuff I had ordered mozzarella sticks also she was so high forgot to make my mozzarella sticks just a horrible place if u Spanish plz don't go there
