Absolutely love this place. Incredible vibe, always something going on. Even if nothing is particularly happening the drinks are delicious and the bartenders are amazing!This is my new hangout spot for sure.

Walking by after show at the Music Hall and heard fabulous Jazz music, so we stopped in for a nightcap. First visit and noticed it's quite an interesting place. Home craft brews and cocktail specials. I can recommend the blonde ale! It was fairly crowded, but we had ample room to enjoy our drinks and check out the amazing music. Kudos to band Joseph Barna and company!!

Some chill music and chilled craft beers Thursday’s and Friday’s in Troy ! Update: Monday night jazz jam is the best 👌

A relaxed place to sit back with a good beer and friends. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. The place is pup friendly which is a nice plus.

The 518 has always been our go to spot when in dwntwn Troy! However, this time around they are incorporating different events. They hosted a Latin night 💃🕺🇵🇷 with Dominican 🇩🇴 food from Pataconia on Saturday and it was such a great hit. The vibes and decor are chill, beer options are always delicious along with their cocktail menu, and the artwork submissions from local artists are captivating. Follow their FB page for updated event info. I sure will 😃

So cozy and homie. The vibe is wonderful, the type of place you sit and strike up intriguing conversations with complete strangers over a glass of uniquely brewed libation. The staff is always warm, friendly and attentive always with a great recommendation for something new on tap. Highly recommend for any and everyone from low key college age to older patrons. Something for everyone.

Very nice place. Not sure if there will be upcoming jazz music here? Definitely check out the lit lounge on Monday nights. It is an interesting combination of poetry, stories, literature and friendly conversation. I always enjoy it !

I have seen some excellent musicians here. I have also seen some horrible djs. Clearly the vibe is somewhat relative to what you like. In any case there brews on tap never disappoint.

David is awesome and it's a great place to hang out! Lots of great events and everyone is welcome :) I hope more people come out to show him how much he and his establishment are appreciated! Great place for a chill relaxing hangout with friends!

Walked in for the first time this evening and instantly felt the cozy vibe. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before, it’s amazing! The owner greeted us when we walked in and the bartender is so kind! Highly recommend 518 Craft for an evening outing and I look forward to checking it out tomorrow morning :)

Such an amazing place. Now the black rasp. Cosmo for 9 dollars needs more flavor . But oh my god the customer service is amazing. Plus the employee Natasha is so great. Makes me feel at home. The music is so homey. I love coming here. I'd come again for sure. Just a short time stay though cause the locals are annoying.

My new favorite bar to go to. All of the beers I have had there are great. I have also had some really great deals, a pretzel, cheese and craft beer for $8.50 one night, then a craft beer for $3 another night. Really one of the best bars I have been to in Troy. I will definitely be back many more times.

An art gallery inside of a coffee & craft beer place. What's not to love. Bakery stuff but no food other than that, but there are places to eat nearby that you can carry in. Good craft beer. We'll return.

My wife and I were walking Troy trying to find an open coffee shop on 4th of July weekend. This whole downtown boards up on the holiday. Seems odd to me. But this place was open. We got cold brew coffees and hung out in front where they have nice shaded Cafe tables. I don't know if it was the owner or not but the guy behind the bar was more than willing to make us iced coffee's. I think this place is really more of a bar but could be wrong. They aren't optimized for coffee's but he did his best. It was just okay, but the great vibe made up for the so-so coffee. He was clearly bustling about, cleaning and prepping for the evening crowd expected that evening. We were here mid day. He was super friendly and inviting. Nice place. I'd recommend it.

Kinda liked this place. Had a really original vibe to it. Definitely a Downtown Troy bar

Intriguing place. Not your typical bar. It was more of a lounge. Interesting beer selection. I liked the balance or beer and coffee with the option of chocolates from next door. Great artwork, interesting books. I would recommend stopping in with some friends if your looking for a chill place to hang or even going solo when you need little you time.

My partner and I went on Troy night out. Band playing outside. We both asked to try a beer. I wasn’t fully onboard with mine so I asked to try another. Bartender said in a rude tone that there’s a long line so can you choose something and move it along. I get it that there was a rush but there could’ve been a more polite way to say it. Also I can’t imagine asking to try a second time would have held them up more than another minute. Bartender straight up killed the vibe. We still got what we had tasted and moved along. They do have a good selection of drinks!

Went here this weekend. The bartender was busy with three girls at the bar. So when we went to ask for a beer it took awhile to get her attention. Then the three girls gave us a dirty look when we asked for a beer. Throughout the night the girls sitting there kept looking over at us like we were bothering their gossiping time with the bartender. We wanted food later and saw a guy come over which was probably the manager/owner. We asked him nicely to put in an order and he seemed offended we asked him. He also took my money and didn’t give me my change back right away even when I asked. It was probably about 10 minutes until I was able to find him again to ask him for my change again. I was supposed to get $3 back and only got $2. He was weird and kept flirting with the girls at the bar and the bartender too. What a creep. People in there were also just weird. Went to the bathroom, had to ask where it was, and instead of just showing us, two men followed us who were preforming there that night. Will never ever go here again. Felt so uncomfortable. The owner is a creep.
