Bars and pubs in Albany

  1. DrinkPub

    The Pub

    A nice place to hang out on weekends. It's very busy with the typical college scene, but slightly more subdued than some of the others.

    Open now · closes 2 am tomorrow

  2. DrinkPub

    The Lionheart

    Good on weekends when the Romans come down for their orgy, good happy hour specials, a good selection of beer, and they have dartboards and pool tables. Very crowded on summer weekend nights.

  3. DrinkPub

    McGeary's

    Often has bands playing Celtic folk and/or bagpipe rock and they have an outdoor area for eating, drinking and listening to live bands during the summer.

  4. DrinkPub

    Susies

    A fun subterranean bar with several great microbrews, darts and a great patio during the summer.

  5. DrinkBar

    Hollywood Tavern

    Attracts an average looking and refreshingly unpretentious crowd. It's more "meet your friends" than "see and be seen." Albany's largest patio in the summer and a large upstairs for the winter.

  6. DrinkBar

    The Hollow Bar + Kitchen

    Craft beer and American fare and bands. Another good after-work crowd. Fills with older hepcat college students later in the evening, especially on weekends. Good live music.

  7. DrinkPub

    Waterworks

    Another popular gay and lesbian bar.
