Savoy Taproom

Having first visited Savoy Taproom a few months back, I knew my husband would enjoy it as he was looking to try someplace new for dinner last evening. Their website is straightforward in stating they require vaccination cards and they mean it too. We like that. If you don't, there are plenty of other options in town. Continuing on the safety-first journey, you'll find they don't offer menus and instead point you to their website which is easy to navigate. From what I saw, all staff wore masks and they wore them properly - over the nose. We started our evening with a Tito's Vodka Martini and their current Old Fashioned: Saintly Daddy. Simple said about the martini: they pour a good one. The Old Fashioned was bright, warm, and refreshing on a cold winter night. With a hint of pear and the aroma of the dried orange crisp, I had to have two. For starters, we ordered their Poached Pear Salad and the Crispy Cauliflower. Both were quite unique with the pear salad being on the lighter, sweet,

We stopped into Savoy on Pride Parade Day. It was a very festive day. Bartenders were very attentive and friendly. We appreciated that we could bring our beverages out onto the street for the parade. They were also giving away handheld pride flags to customers. The main menu looks good, and the specialty cocktails look intriguing, although i don't enjoy lavendar or flowery flavors to drink. Sill go back to try food another time.

Best restaurant we've been to in awhile. The bar had a fun atmosphere, the other dining area was cute and casual. Halloween drinks were fantastic. I wish I had taken pics of our food. We had the Area 51 wings (buffalo bourbon & honey mustard), buffalo bourbon fries, the Mississippi chicken sandwich, and a blue cheese bacon burger I don't remember the name of. Portions are huge, they give you a TON of fries & they are the best in Albany. The chicken was hanging off the bun in every direction. The burger was perfectly cooked. The staff was very friendly. We even took leftovers home and everything was just as good re-heated the next day. I suggest making reservations on the weekend - we only got in without a long wait on a Friday night because someone didn't show for their reservation.
