Common Roots Albany Outpost
Dine with a few beers. The building itself is the old Albany Pump Station, which used to pump the water from the Hudson River up to the reservoir, so the building has a ton of atmosphere and history. A local favorite - no trip to Albany is complete without a visit here.
- Drink
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.
- Drink
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.
- Drink
Oh Bar
A popular gay and lesbian bar that is friendly and has a nice happy hour. Check out Karaoke night on Thursdays.
- Drink
Susies
A fun subterranean bar with several great microbrews, darts and a great patio during the summer.
- Drink
The Fuze Box
A club/event space. Here you find Thursday swing dancing lessons, goth nights, and best known for the weekly Saturday '80s nights. Excellent music, mixed and unpretentious crowds. Dance to Cyndi Lauper with your friends. LGBT friendly!
- Drink
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.
- Drink
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.
- Drink
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.
- Drink
The Washington Tavern (WT's)
An upper classmen bar. It's usually pretty busy.
- Drink
Waterworks
Another popular gay and lesbian bar.
