City Beer Hall
Reviews
Great place for all people and all ages. I went with a friend on a little mini date and the whole Beer Hall experience is something that's starting to creep into Buffalo. But, in Albany is where it's at. Great food, great beer selection, fun open and public atmosphere. The giant picnic table seating keeps the place feeling relaxed and fun but also adds a ton of atmosphere. The crowd is a mix, skinny jeans, skinny ties, business suits, and leather. It can be a bit noisy and obnoxious in later hours so, unfortunately, it may not be the perfect place for some types of more intimate or delicate occasions. But, for everything else it's a great place to be.
I've been a few times and have always had good food and drink, although during restaurant week the kitchen seemed to have a hard time getting things to be consistently the right temperature. The tables with benches aren't my favorite style seating, but it's a good place to meet with friends and have a good time.
Great place to stop for great drinks and good food. The atmosphere is great for anyone in their 20s-30s. I stop there anytime I'm in Albany.
I love this place - anyone visiting Albany should check it out! A free personal pizza with every beer purchase and a mechanical bull.. what else could you ask for?!
I enjoy coming here sometimes after a long week with a group of friends just to relax, chat and eat. City Beer Hall opened not too long ago, but the place sure brings a lot of people, especially college students. What draws people to this place is not just for good food and drinks, but the fact that they have a mechanic bull right upstairs. Sometimes, there is a long line of people waiting to conquer the bull, but the line goes by quick since the bull flings you off in a matter of seconds. What also makes this place a good place to hang out is that every beer/drink you get, gets you a ticket for a free 8” thin, crust cheese pizza, and you can be sitting by the fire place to stay cozy enjoying your beer and noshing on food. If you want to conquer the bull yourself, you should come here!
