Palais Royale

Possibly the best bar in Albany if you’re not looking for anything fancy. Jukebox and pool table as well as a mini backyard area. We will be back!

Came here after a busy night out. These guys held it down. Customers were being tough on them but they really held down their own. Great regulars. Great bartenders. Great owner. Coming back

Come here every once in a while and it is always a great time. Jukebox. Pool table. Darts. Beer. Can’t go wrong.

Some young girl was trying to play barkeep and wasn't very good at it. Plus she overcharged me for 2 shots of Jack. Never again. Too much of a dive. Thanks. Enjoy my money

I got kicked out because the bartender (racist, blonde, Caucasian woman) overheard my conversation and heard me telling my date that "I don’t feel obligated to tip". Wasn’t talking to or about her, we were just having a general conversation. It was comical but I will never go there again. The music sucked anyway and I can get drinks anywhere….

The bartender Tzipporah is so amazing! She is very intensive she’s very sociable she’s engaging very nice and attractive! You have to come visit!

DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!!! blonde bartender with glasses is incredibly discriminatory and rude. i requested water and was denied service because my ID is vertical despite me being over 21. she flat out denied to serve me. i observed that i was the only black person in the building and the only one to be denied service. safe to say this is my first experience being racially discriminated against. if i could give zero stars i would.
