Albert's is a trendy restaurant with good drinks and a great vibe! While in town, I met a friend here for dinner. We were lucky enough to get outdoor seating when the weather was optimal. That meant food, drinks, and an abundance of people watching. Along with drinks we primarily stayed a single lane - appetizers. A little of this, a little of that - it was all good and the service was relatively quick. Sam took care of us. She kept our drinks full and made sure we were consistent key comfortable. I really enjoyed Albert's! read more

Every time I come here the food and drinks are delicious. My favorites are the steak sandwich and a mezcal drink. The service is great. All of the waiters are helpful and nice. The restaurant is a little "dark and mysterious" at night time but it's not bad. I will absolutely be back because I want to try the branzino. read more

Our reservation was at 1pm and we requested a booth which the hostess was happy to give us. The ambiance and look were very aesthetic; I wish I had taken pictures! It was so nice that the pair next to us was actually taking engagement pictures. Just to add because it's important to me and I think a good sign of great service, the bathrooms were well kept and clean. Anyway, the brunch was fantastic. As someone who is allergic to wheat I was able to eat the breakfast nachos for brunch. My picture does NOT give this dish justice; it does not come messy, but I was so eager to dig in that I didn't take a picture until after I had. I was happy with the serving. My bff ordered a burger with potato wedges and finished the entire thing. On top of the delicious food, the bottomless brunch booze was amazing and the waitress consistently checked in with us. While my companion got the bellini, I had their specialty cocktail made with earl grey vodka and tea, which was way more delicious than expected. The location is extremely convenient from Grand Central. I already promised my husband I would take him back . read more

Warm and friendly restaurant and bar in midtown, we had really quick service for dinner and sat in a large comfy booth. There are plenty of vegetarian, vegan and meaty options on the menu, and also a nice selection of nonalcoholic cocktails and adulty drinks that aren't a Shirley temple. I had the nectar made with seedlip spirits. The portions are one meal appropriate and priced accordingly. read more

Great atmosphere. Well designed to handle a lot of people comfortably, and facilitate ease of mobility and socializing. Everyone is friendly, from the host, to the bouncer to the bartenders. While it's not the vibe they're going for, I wish there were TVs, because it would be a great place to watch sports. But as it is, it is a fantastic Midtown east spot near Grand Central for a weekday happy hours. And on weekends it is a great spot to get drinks and catch up with friends whereby it is not hard to find a place to settle in. read more

A nice place to grab a drink in midtown East! Came on a Friday night and sat at the bar in the middle. Was decently busy, but bartender checked in a lot. I love that the menu has a lot of tea drinks! Tried the Tea-L-C which had Earl grey vodka and lavender honey which was really nice but I wished it had a stronger Earl grey flavor, and the Don't Chai About it which is a boozy chai and my favorite drink of the night. Vibes are nice, good spot for date night! read more

First & foremost, I will say that the interior of Albert's Bar is great & I love what they've done with the space (my favorite color being green helped as well haha). The bartenders were friendly & the ambiance showed that it was a great post-work drink spot. I had the lycheetini to start which was nice- I thought the sparkling wine was a really nice touch. I also had the full moon party which was nice as well, but I definitely liked the lycheetini better. All in all, albeit I can't speak for the food, I can say that the drinks are creative & good. read more

Had a very late dinner at this cool looking bar with my friends. I ordered the Golden Boy Chicken Sandwich. It was pretty tasty. My fries were hard but I still ate them. Our first waiter was nice and then did not return. Another gal came to wait on us and she was very helpful. She had many tables and was very busy. The restaurant is a nice somewhat upscale looking bar near Times Square. We had a pleasant time. read more

When you walk in, the bar is definitely the center piece. It's beautiful! A lovely place to grab a drink. Must admit I didn't eat here, but would come back and try out things on the menu. Service was great, however there were barely any people there that weekend! We felt special nonetheless! read more

My partner and I came on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too crowded, and we easily got a booth. You could definitely imagine a happy hour scene here. I went for the tropical drinks. The Full Moon party was my favorite. The Honey Collins was also refreshing. We didn't care for the tuna tartare; the spicy chips were not the best compliment. The forbidden rice arincini and coconut shrimp were my favorites. Our waiter was less and less attentive as the night went on. Oh well. I'll be back. Great, spacious option. read more

This is the quintessential neighborhood bar with amazing food. Large open feel with a generous bar area. The bottomless Bloody Mary is so reasonable and well worth it. The duck club for brunch was huge and more than worth the money. The service could have been better but it didn't distract from the overall experience. Even the bathroom had accent tiles that made me smile. Definitely worth a visit when on Lexington. read more

It kills me to leave 5 stars, or really it kills my wallet, but I have to say this was a great bar experience. The Tea-LC was maybe one of the best cocktails I've ever had, the lavender honey and lemon in combination with the earl grey vodka and a little foam on top felt quite unique and tasty as heck. The fig-a-licious was also good, but couldn't quite compete with the favorite and didn't marry different flavors as delicately. The vibe was pretty great for a Midtown bar, they played Remi Wolf and 2000s hits, the art on the walls was fun to look at, it wasn't too loud and there was lots of seating, bar service was pretty fast. Expensive but not surprising for Manhattan and I've seen worse. It's nice to go to a bar that's a little fancy and not feel totally out of place. read more

Some friends recommended this bar as a great spot for drinks after work. My coworkers and I decided to check it out, and got there by about 5:30 on a Thursday. It wasn't packed yet, but all the tables and high tops were spoken for. We found room at the bar and easily were able to order drinks. I was a little worried about non-alcoholic options (doing dry Jan), as I only saw a few options online, but inside they have a small menu with about 5 other mocktails. It looks like all of them had some kind of zero proof liquor in them, which is definitely reflected in the price. Nonetheless, I happily ordered one and sucked it down. It was great to have something in my hand as I walked around the bar and explored. My friends both had spicy margaritas and really enjoyed them. The space itself is gorgeous, with the center of it all being a wraparound bar. Against one wall, there are boots and in the back some high top/standing tables. I saw online you can make reservations, but unfortunately was too late. Next time I will definitely make one, perhaps even for the tables that I saw in the upstairs portion. Overall, I think this is a great place to go for drinks after work for, a bit of an older crowd. At least in the earlier hours, it was very classy feeling. Maybe the prices keep the early twenties crowd out because if you're lookin for a happy hour deal, this place isn't for you. Part of the same group that runs the Spaniard, the interior design details and fun drinks seem to cater to a slightly mature yet still fun crowd comparatively. I can't wait to return (and try the actually alcoholic options)! read more

Was it worth that hype? Not sure yet. Was it good? Yes! Great, probably could be. Do I want to go back? Heck yes! From the people to the service to the ambiance to the food, everything was good. I just was not as impressed as I thought I would be, but I did for the most part enjoy everything. From a social media stand point it's the place to be with amazing drinks and food. I had to go. I'm glad I did and continue to monitor their social media that looks like even more great menu and HH changes have been made. I want to try to them. Do not get me wrong, this place is really good... you need to try it! I need to try other things and I am going to. Both their food and cocktail menu is unique and I am eager to try more things. Definitely go!! Convenient to most anywhere midtown but be warned, it gets busy and there is a wait. Ps... I wanted the pickle martini to be so much better than it was! read more

I popped into Albert's with a friend around 5:30pm on a Friday afternoon. They told us they would need the table back by 6:45pm, which is fine by us. I had the Albert's Gibson with Brooklyn Gin, Vermouths, Manzanilla Sherry, Yuzu, Onion, and Brine. This was really savory and very tasty. If you're not a sweet cocktail person, this drink is 100% for you. We split a few small plates, since we were both going back home for dinner: - Shishito Peppers with Yuzu Aioli, Nori, Sesame - Popcorn Coconut Shrimp with Thai Chili Sauce - Forbidden Rice Arancini filled with Peas and Smoked Mozzarella, served with Calabrian Marinana The Arancini was the best out of the three, and I would definitely recommend it. The shishito peppers were great too and I loved the yuzu aioli. I would put that aioli on everything. Service was great and they have live music! It does get pretty loud inside though, so if you're looking for a more quiet spot to have a chat, come before the live music starts! read more

Passed by Albert's for drinks and a snack with a friend. Nice outdoor seating is available and the service was surprisingly super friendly . The menu is small but concise with plenty of options.

My colleagues and I decided to come here after work for happy hour. It was a cool vibe inside and judging from the outside you can't tell much about it and it seems small as well. However once you enter it's fairly large inside with two floors. There are booths, bar and table top seating as well. There was a private party going on to one side so that part wasn't accessible, but there's a lot of room. The bathroom was clean so that's a plus. My colleagues just wanted to grab drinks and they got plenty. Such as the green tea shot which they kept getting rounds of which says a lot. Another hit amongst us was the Big Al's Margarita and the Lycheetini. For food to share they got the shoe string fries and the forbidden rice arancini balls. Those were eaten up right away. We all had a great time there and will be back. read more

Modern, dimly lit ambience at night- perfect for a date or night out with friends. I really liked the lychee martini and all of my friends enjoyed their drinks too. For apps we had the arancini (rice balls), which were ok. To note- the arancini don't contain meat. However, the Thai chili shrimp app was delicious! I had the rock shrimp burger- very flavorful and yummy! I ate the whole burger up. Shoe string fries were superior; truly we all devoured them and agreed. Our server was attentive, friendly, and gave us good recommendations. read more

We came here as a party of 2 around 4:30pm on a Sunday. We did have a reservation but it wasn't necessary as it was quite empty inside (likely due to our timing). The seating inside includes some bar seating and booths. There is also outdoor seating as well which some patrons enjoyed but it was too hot for us. We got seated right away at a booth. We were initially here for just the drinks but got peckish and so ended up ordering some food. Drinks: - Barrel Aged Martinez: SO GOOD. We got it twice! It's a bit alcohol forward but the smokiness balances it great. I also thought it had a great caramel after taste - Albert's Gibson: Loved the refreshing Yuzu in this - Yellowstone Collins: Super duper refreshing as well Food: - Shoe string fries: Nothing to complain about fries. - Albert's Burger: Great burger! - Mac n Cheese: Quite a good serving for the price! also delicious - Bonus - house made hot sauce: I asked for hot sauce and they gave me this and I thought it was AWESOME. The service was GREAT. Super friendly staff and super nice. Explained some things about the menu to us as well. I would definitely visit again! Perhaps with a larger group as well read more

The charcuterie might as well have been from Duane Reade, and between that and my two drink drinks, it was over $100. I don't have enough time to list the places that I would rather go to for two drinks and one appetizer in the city, but absolutely pass on this place. read more

Super cute patio. Yummy appetizers try the popcorn coconut shrimp. Vibes are superior on a nice day after work.

Some of my colleagues and I decided to head to Albert's Bar after work the other night for some food, drinks, and to unwind from the week. After some deliberation as to where to go, we ultimately decided here based on the good reviews, selection of food and drinks, and proximity to our office. That being said, we made our way over after logging off for the day. Conveniently located steps away from Grand Central, Albert's is a large bar and restaurant that seems to cater to the after work crowd (that's me!). Space is one of the biggest assets Albert's has - there's a large bar in the center of the space with booths surrounding the perimeter. Additionally, they have more tables and stools on a second level giving view to the ground level plus a private room - overall it has a really grand presence. The aesthetics are welcoming - lots of medium wood tones throughout the space accented with touches of brass and plants. One of my colleagues called a few days prior to make a reservation - they take reservations online but she wanted to be sure we would get a booth so she called instead. Once we arrived, we were told there was no reservation for us - my colleague explained the situation and even showed them her call history to prove we spoke with them. They were pretty accommodating, though one of the employees passed a comment that we should have made a reservation online - if that's what they wanted then they shouldn't have accepted the phone reservation. Ultimately we only waited about 30 minutes for a table, and they were good about getting us once our table was ready (we headed upstairs for a drink while we waited). The drink menu is expansive - they have a large selection of cocktails plus beer and wine. I mostly stuck to cocktails (we had a few rounds), and everything I had was pretty good. My favorite was the amaro colada - it's not cream-based like a traditional pina colada, but it had refreshing pineapple flavor and was smooth. We ordered a lot of food: crunchy chickpeas, salt and vinegar chips, popcorn monkfish, shishito peppers, mussels, seasoned Jojo's (wedge fries), spatzle mac and cheese, spicy artichoke dip, charred octopus, and Albert's Double Deluxe Burger. All of the food was good - nothing that blew my socks off but it was solid, quality American food and perfect for sharing. The standouts for me were the artichoke dip, charred octopus, and the burger - but really there wasn't a miss. Service was good - everyone was friendly, food/drinks came out fast, and they consistently checked in on us to make sure all was well. Overall, I had a good time at Albert's - the food, service, and aesthetics were all a yes, and I would definitely return (with an online reservation ;-) if given the opportunity. read more

As someone who came here when it was Public House for the Bills games, I absolutely love the glow up for Albert's Bar!

Next time I want to try the shrimp burger. Also, if you're someone who collects matchbooks - Albert's has them! read more

Shannon was behind the bar and was incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to drinks and food. Her recommendations were spot on. She has the potential of being a legend behind the bar. Others around me said she was "very personable, diligent, and delightful." Carlos was also behind the bar. His ability to work an entire side of the bar (25+ patrons) is impressive. This night started with a lotus flower (White Lotus cocktail). Just like Percy Jackson did when he ate the lotus flower, he never wanted to leave. This vodka lemongrass drink is the perfect drink to start off your night. The next drink was the Yellowstone Collins. This bourbon citrus blended cocktail will make you want to binge drink, and have it over and over. When they ask you how everything going, my response was "Everything Nice". This tequila lemon and honey ginger drink will leave you smiling and feeling that everything is nice. I will leave you feeling like a king in the castle. This is a great spot to have a date or come for after work drinks. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Place was quite busy for a Tuesday, both indoor and outdoor seating. Fun, loud bar atmosphere. Thankfully we made reservations so we were seated immediately. They do a variety of martinis for $15 during happy hour. They also have beers on tap and more craft cocktails. Drinks were pretty good. Chicken pot pie was flaky and delicious - felt like a warm hug. Fluke crudo was just okay. read more

What a pleasant surprise! A spacious bar with plenty of seating and standing room, and offers some delicious food items, what's not to love? My cocktail, the Amaro Colada, was so delicious with its notes remniscent of a pina colada but with more heft and less sugar; I downed multiple of this drink during my time at the bar, and I typically do not like cocktails. The fried cat fish was definitely a highlight of the food, lightly battered and fried but has a very satisfying chew texture. The place does take reservations, and it does not get extremely loud unlike many bars! read more

An upscale bar in midtown that is always packed right after work with individuals between 21-30 predominately. There is a sizable selections of cocktails and some beer and wine as well. The place itself is massive. There is a lot of tables, but you need a reservation, otherwise you need to stand and it does feel crowded. Despite how busy it is, bar tenders are fast and attentive. Pricey for the area, but it is a nicer bar, so it checks out. Would come again. read more

It's like everyone in the nearby offices goes here after work. Reservations highly recommended, though it may not help because it gets so crowded anyway.
