There are wing cooking professionals at this dive bar in Troy…read more A dive is an understatement. They gave us paper plates. The lighting in the dining room is dim. I am fairly certain the air conditioning was not on and it was August. In addition to wings my group of 9 ordered jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks and their version of a blooming onion. All three were fried deliciousnes. Loved the mozzarella sticks and poppers. They gave an over abundance of sauce with each. It is called the Ale House and the beer selection was decent. They offered pitchers of the good stuff. The real draw here is the wings. Clearly not frozen, they came out in all kinds of weird shapes demonstrating they were chopped off a whole wing by hand. Decent sized, perfectly crispy. We ordered them three ways. Tequila, Medium and Hot. They offered an award winning hot sauce on the side. I didn't touch it and two of the heat chasers in my group were not really impressed with the heat level. The Tequila Wings had a sweet element to them and not much sauce. I liked them, members of my party loved them. The medium wings were perfect IMO. Drowned in incredible wing sauce. The hot sauce was also very manageable. I would have no problem ordering them again. The blue cheese was perfect too. This is a top 3 spot for wings in the Capital Region. It may be a dump, located in an out of the way spot but that would not stop me from making the trip again and again.

Mom just walked by these guys and proceeded to the dining area and began perusing their specials. They have the usual pub fare like burgers, sandwiches and salads and some Mexican style options like nachos and jalapeño poppers. Lots of draft selections including Fiddlehead, a personal favorite. The dine in seating away from the bar was relaxed and comfortable. I wasn't expecting much given the atmosphere but the food was very good. The salad I had was nice with romaine lettuce and an assortment of veggies. Mom enjoyed their burger. Reasonable prices.

Our family of five with kids were up for trying something new and this place did not disappoint. The apps - homemade chips and salsa as well as pretzels w/mustard were yum.

Waitress was beyond friendly and attentive, she was great with the kids. I Would return and recommend if you're up for good food/service and hometown bar/restaurant vibe.

For a moment, I forgot how amazing The Ruck is, simply as a beer bar…read more When I was passing through town, I was only in Troy for a few hours. Clearly, I couldn't do everything. And I thought I would have to give up on my desire to pop back in to The Ruck for a pint. On the way back to my hotel, I decided to just check to see what Dave and crew had on tap. Egads! Seriously folks, this bar is an embarrassment of riches. I only wanted to have one beer, but I left with three. Two I enjoyed on site, Hill Farmstead's Susan and the brewery's Society and Solitude #13. These are heavy hitters, and even just two five ounce pours put me in a place where I felt it would be imprudent to have a third. Fortunately for me, the crowler machine was fully functional, and I was able to grab an oil can of Weldwerks Xtra Xtra Broccolli to go. Beer names are stupid, but they will not dissuade me from drinking something delicious. Sadly, Dave wasn't there, so I didn't get to say hi, or shake his hand, or thank him for his hard work of managing such an epic tap list. Regrettably I rolled in late in the evening and the kitchen had already closed. No wings for me. Not even one of their special deviled eggs... which sounded delicious, btw. Welp, it was a very very good reminder for me to get back to Troy, arrive earlier in the evening, and move The Ruck back up to the top of my list. You Trojans are lucky to have this joint. Go there. Often. And rejoice.
