Friday special was ribeye with succotash and mashed potatoes. Was cooked absolutely perfect. Service was exceptional. Great atmosphere as well. Parking was not ideal since it’s downtown, had to walk a bit from the spot I found

Met a friend here for lunch and a drink at The Hollow. Our friend was at The Hollow the previous night to hear a DJ and said it was great. I had a Ranch Water to drink as we looked at the menu. My wife had a 6oz beer. For lunch we shared the Tennessee Hot with the Chicken (southern aioli, house sweet pickles, brioche $15.50) with the chips and a Kale Caesar salad (baby kale, grated parm, fried capers, house caesar dressing, grilled croutons $14.50. Everything was delicious and the bartender was friendly and attentive. I would go back there and try something else to eat and would like to go when they have music.

What an absolute gem! A really nice range of vegan and vegan-izable dishes. Very centrally located. The staff is really awesome–warm, honest, and love their product. Decent selection of local beers. The food was delicious and presented well. We had the Vegan Filet (more like a yummy pot roast) and the Vegan Rueben. Both were great!

In town for an Umphrey’s show, stopped in on a whim after other place was closed. Our waitress, Xandra, stood out with a smile and energy that paved the way for surprisingly great meal. Was expecting boring pub fare. The clam chowder was homemade. Clams done perfectly, not rubbery! Brisket sandwich had right texture, sweet and heat. Fresh cut sweet potato fries. Amazing! Gladly spend my money here.

Hollow Restaurant offers a great dining experience with a few minor notes. The highlight for me was their paella – it was flavorful, but the tomato base leaned a bit too sour for my liking. That said, the quality of the ingredients and the presentation were spot-on.
The service was excellent! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening.
Another standout was the beer selection – absolutely awesome! They have an impressive variety that caters to all tastes, from craft brews to classic favorites.
Overall, Hollow Restaurant is definitely worth visiting. With a slight tweak to the paella’s seasoning, it could easily become a 5-star experience. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

We took our entire team of consultants to the Hollow Bar and Kitchen for our annual work holiday party and White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone loved their meals as the food there has always been very good and this was true even for such a large group. The service was fantastic and the staff managed to keep us all well fed and with drinks even during the gift exchange chaos. Their attention to detail on 27 orders was amazing.They also have great vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend The Hollow for your team event!

This place has multiple vegan options that are clearly indicated. Our server was very cognizant of what was vegan and not. All the food was good, nothing amazing. Really cool atmosphere.
No step to enter. And ADA stalls in gendered restrooms. However, the bathrooms from the front main entrance are down three steps. There are likely other ways to the restroom, but this was our first time here.
December 2025 update: Returned back to the Hollow, but this time with 6 additional work people. Our waitress was great! Everyone loved their food and drinks. Vegan chocolate mousse was light and creamy!

Awesome experience here! Attended a group party here with over 40 people! They were able to fit us all pretty cozily in the space! The food was delicious and the desserts were unique! The staff and the chef clearly cared about their work! And those bread rolls…… were delicious! Parking is a hassle as every downtown area but definitely a place to try !

While in Albany for a conference, I came here for dinner. I had the vegan filet au poivre with a lavender haze mocktail. Both were good but the filet au poivre was magnifique! They gave a healthy portion. I thought I would only eat half, but it was so good that I had to eat the entire thing. The atmosphere was a typical bar scene. I like that they had tables for dining in a separate area from the bar section. My server was friendly and attentive. I don’t remember his name, but he’s server 201. If I am ever in Albany again, I will certainly stop by.

I was told to try the vegan steak dinner so I made a reservation and it was 10/10 amazing. The presentation wasn’t the best but the steak was so delicious the potatoes were seasoned very well and the greens were so good.
The customer service was great I had a waitress covered in tattoos and she was so beautiful and kind her customer service was perfect! The vibe was great and I was greeted when I arrived and when I left.
The meal was $30 and totally worth it I’m coming back for sure!
