Lynn's Uptown Tavern

Come for the drinks, stay for the company! Neighborly bar with friendly locals and a fun atmosphere, as in the whole bar breaks into a rendition of "happy birthday" when a cake with lit candles is brought out. About seven beers on draft. Banquet room in the back with separate unisex bathroom. Parking lot across the street from the main entrance, or one can park streetside after certain hours. In November 2021 the Albany County Libertarian Party hosted Larry Sharpe at this location during his run for New York Governor.

This is a bar for drinkers’ drinkers. Neighborly atmosphere. Friendly and pretty waitresses. Clean bathrooms and wholesome American fare. Parking streetside or in the lot directly opposite the bar. There are a dartboard and a virtual jume box. In November 2021 the Albany County Libertarian Party hosted Larry Sharpe in the backroom during his run for NY Governor….

Nice place, friendly attentive staff. Handled our large group smoothly. Food and drinks were very good. Few other sports teams hanging out. Will try to find an excuse to return.

I like the vibe here, it feels like a community hole in the wall in the best way possible; it feels like a hometown bar that everyone is welcome at. The owner, Lynn, appears to be a very nice and accommodating woman and a hard worker who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and help her staff - atleast that’s how it appears from a customer point of view, obviously I wasn’t in the kitchen or behind the scenes or anything like that. The bartenders are willing to make different types of drinks for folks and even went digging for a certain liquer I was looking for. I will say - the drinks are on the expensive side . I’m talking like these are NYC prices . Or maybe I just don’t go out drinking enough . I’m not sure . The food is decent but please for the love of god, LYNN, can you use real cheese on your nachos ? Nothing ruins a good plate of nachos like canned cheese or whatever that is . I also didn’t care for the chicken on the nachos . I’m not sure if it’s canned or frozen or what - but it wasn’t it . Stick to the beef if you want meat here.

My favorite tavern in Albany, their daily specials are always unique, their chicken parm nights on Thursday is the best deal in the area.

Had the half sandwich and soup. I liked them both, good conversation and plenty of TVs with sports.

We had a dinner meeting in the back room. Great staff and good food.
