City Beer Hall in Albany was a great spot for a night out with our party of six. We were seated at a large, comfortable table that easily fit everyone. The food was solid across the board—we ordered pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, and a variety of appetizers, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. Drinks were excellent, thanks to Carrie at the bar, who clearly knows her craft. The Family Feud game added a fun, interactive element that kept all six of us entertained. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, especially with the fireplace tucked off to the side. A fun, relaxed place to gather with friends or family.

The building was very interesting so we stopped for lunch. Our experience was not what we had hoped for. The waitress didn’t seem to know the menu and didn’t realize what the kitchen was out of. The food was below average bar food.

We came for lunch so it wasn’t that busy. S.O. has Celiac. Waiter wasn’t incredibly knowledgable about what drinks were safe, but the cook nailed the food. His burger was brought out without chips (which I could have and were some of the best I’ve eaten) because they do not have a dedicated fryer. Great food and atmosphere. Everyone was very nice.

I really like what they’ve done with the food at CBH. Blue Pizza running their kitchen and putting out great wood-fired pizza, among other things (like some CBH classics) was a great choice. I also enjoy the updates they’ve made to their cocktail menu, including the more than handful of NA options. This summer they’ve been doing all you can eat focaccia Fridays, $5 per person for a 90 minute limit — the focaccia is delicious and comes in very generous serving sizes. My “all you can eat” usually stops at the second slice. Special shout out to their scratch made mozzarella sticks which have a great crispy breading and are served with Melba, which is the only way to eat a mozz stick IMO. I love having CBH in walking distance and have been really impressed with the changes they’ve been making, kudos to Kurtis and his team!

Good food with great service! The burger was very tasty, a huge serving of fries, good beer, and the service was courteous and helpful. I will definitely visit them again when I return to Albany.

Celebrated a surprise 30th birthday here with a group of 25+! The manager Kurtis was very accommodating and responsive with emails for planning. We had a large table on the first floor and easy access to the bar. The staff was helpful the day of and I would recommend this place to all! We loved the hot honey pizza and salads. Thanks!

They no longer offer free pizza with beer, but their pizzas are amazing. Highly recommend the Hot Honey pizza. Calzone (not pictured) was also delicious. They have a great selection of drinks. Fun place to hang out with friends, board games available. Excellent service by our waitress.

Went to here after an afternoon of touring the New York Museum and the Corning observation tower. I wish I took pictures of our food, but it was so good I forgot. Servings were enormous! My husband ordered the Brussels & Apple salad with grilled chicken. It was huge- but so good he forced himself to eat it all. I ordered the Kale Caesar with crispy chicken which was equally as big, and just as good. Daughter, my picky eater, got the cheese pizza and loved it. We also got the mozzarella triangles, great, and served with what I think was grape jelly? And now I will always have to eat them that way… also got the fried pickles which were good too. If we are ever back in Albany definitely going to stop here again.

Just wanted to thank The City Beer Hall for helping make my daughter’s confirmation celebration so special!
Kurtis, the event coordinator, was fantastic—responsive, detail-oriented, and made sure everything was communicated perfectly to the team. Katrina’s service was absolutely outstanding—she was a total mind reader! She greeted us with a big, warm smile and made my daughter feel extra special by bringing her very own carafe of lemonade.
Katrina was attentive, professional, thoughtful, and personable throughout the night. Everything came out right on time. The pizzas were delicious (the hot honey was the favorite!), and both the Blu Hall and Caesar kale salads were fresh and flavorful. She even brought plenty of to-go containers and bags, which made cleanup a breeze.
My family loved ending the evening by the fire with coffee and cake—it was the perfect way to wrap up a wonderful night. We had such a relaxing time and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
Thank you again for a memorable evening—we’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love the vibe here—welcoming, lively, and laid-back with incredibly friendly service. The food is top tier. The hot honey pizza is mouthwatering, a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I also really enjoyed the veggie burger—flavorful and fresh, though a bit on the smaller side, so I’d recommend pairing it with a side dish or splitting a pizza too. Prices are fair, and while the drinks are pretty standard, they do the job. If you’re stuck on where to eat last minute, this spot is a reliable and satisfying choice. Highly recommend!
