The City Beer Hall

Pretty much all the drinks here come with a pizza.... a pizza! I kid you not. Granted the pizza is just a tortilla with sauce and cheese, but it really hits the spot. They give you a little ticket with your drink that you bring straight back to the kitchen to exchange for your pizza. It's a good spot all around. During the week they have events like trivia night, and on the weekend they have specials and from the advertisement in the bathroom it looks like they're about to open up a patio as the weather gets warm. There was dancing upstairs and we had so much fun. The main floor has better lighting a good atmosphere and the pizza was bountiful so we all were sharing our pizzas with new friends and having fun. You should start or end your night here anytime you go out in Albany.

Burger was great, atmosphere was great, drinks were amazing, a bit pricey but still good, super friendly staff, would have given 6 out of 5 stars, but my friend ordered the beet salad, and as a result of said salad, farted in my car later on. It made me gag and it lingered even with all my windows down. I am disappointed they allow that item on the menu, knowing the sever repercussions the friends and family of the person eating it will have to suffer. Please, for the sake of all that is holy, get that ancient grain beet salad off the menu. The gastrointestinal distress it can cause will make you rethink spending time with the people you care about. Friends don’t let friends drink and drive is an important tenant to abide by, however, I would much rather he chugged straight ethanol and gotten behind the wheel of a Ram 3500 than having him eaten that and sat in my car for an extended period of time. He is my closest friend, but the smell that emitted from him after eating this salad triggered my flight or fight response. Overall the experience at the restaurant was fantastic, the results of leaving the restaurant left me heart broken, as I could rationalize kicking my best friend out of my car at 80 mph on the thruway. I swear to you, that salad is a weapon and should come with a warning, maybe even a necessary license to purchase. I will be returning, but if someone I’m with orders that salad, you will get violent, which is saying a lot as I am a peaceful man, but the only path I can take to prevent a tragedy is one of biblical proportions. Again, amazing burger, drinks, and staff, but the results of what happened to my friend after eating that salad made me question my belief in God. What kind of god would allow that? Fantastic beer and burger.

This place is awesome. I lost my jacket here a few weeks ago, and when I told the staff, everyone banded together to help me find it. Plus the building is beautiful, and the drinks are good. 10/10

Our hotel was a block away and we were so lucky to have City Beer Hall around the corner. Great beer and amazing burger! You won’t go wrong trying this place.

My friend and I had lunch here the other day and it was delicious! Absolutely wonderful service and good food. nice outside seating as well. I would definitely go back
