    There's something about the beer there, the location well it's Schenectady, but they do a really good job with what they have

    Checked out this pretty happening, or hoppening Schenectady brewery. Frog Alley is a great place for watching a game or just to be hanging. It has plenty of room inside for parties or whatever. Also it shares the building with a place to get pizza and Italian food. The service can be slow but it's not terrible. As for the brewery it's all about the beer. It shares the building with Annabel's, which has a window to make an order. They're actually a separate business though. Order beers at the bar. There's quite a few on tap. It's about $7 for the cheapest. The best of these is the Cherry Hweat. Kind of fruity. This has a bit of a sweetness to go along with the wheat. Also the Oktoberfest is good. The pizzas are ordered separate. Has more of an Applebee's type of atmosphere than like a brewery. It's full of children and families. This may make a few people think about it coming, but just focus on the great beers and whatever.

    The top three things to like about Frog Alley, IMHO: 1. The Annabel's order and pick-up window, allowing you to enjoy scrumptious pizza, sandwiches, and snacks while getting your drink on. (I could go on and on about how much we love Annabel's!) 2. This spot is open on Mondays, and if you KNOW that's hard to come by in these parts. 3. Location is mega spacious, both inside and outdoors, making it a great spot for a group gathering together for the evening. (Frog Alley is a good spot to head for place for a planning beer, IMHO.) Lots of giant tables to fit large groups and little pockets of space for smaller parties, too. They do have a wide variety of events, some free, some with cover charges at the door, others with tickets needing to be purchased in advance. Be sure to check out their events calendar for details. The beer at Frog is...fine. It's not the best local brewery nearby, but that doesn't mean I won't find something to drink from the board. The Squints Sour is a common re-order, and their rotating flavors of hard seltzer have also been a repeat for myself. [We've seen Raspberry, Lime, and Orange over the seasons]

    Just popped in to this enormous brew pub in downtown Schenectady. Huge variety of fresh draft offerings, created on site. Coupled with Annabel's. which is located within the brewpub, they can you provide tasty food as well. We were wondering why was an extremely large space -which also has lots of seating outdoors- and discovered that they have live music here on occasion. True enough, there is a stage and plenty of space for dancing. We ordered our beers from the bar - Skull Frog, which at 8% ABV, went delightfully straight to my head- and Lakeside Summer Kolsch, which was wonderfully citrusy with the fresh squeezed lime and agave. We got a chopped antipasto salad which was a generous portion. However, it was not well dressed and the non lettuce ingredients were not well mixed and were all found at the bottom of the salad. The pastrami Rueben burger with sweet potato fries was delicious! Pricing is moderate. Service is cheerful and the space is spacious and comfortable.

    Very friendly staff and great beer! Love the environment, and definitely will come back to try the food as well

    Garlic Parm wings and blue cheese and carrots yummy tasty n meaty

    Went to frog Alley brewing after a walk on the bike trail along the Mohawk. Had some very refreshing bruise. The bartender was very nice and accommodating and gave us at least four or five samples friendly the entire time. Really enjoyed the beer and then had some garlic wings which were juicy and meaty and delicious. I had the West Coast double IPA and the Porter she had the Charlie Brown. Big cavernous place comfortable I would definitely come back when in the area, nice big selection of beers and tasty food friendly staff. And I'll throw some

    Sports bar atmosphere

    So. This is a huge venue. Not a quaint intimate brewery experience. There is another brewery inside called Craftpoint with a limited selection. There's also a pizza place with brick oven pizza called Annabelle's. There are so many children here on a Thursday evening. Including a newborn being bottle fed. We're from out of town and don't know the local culture but it's a large sports bar atmosphere. Live music but nobody cared. We won't be back. The beers are average.

    We stopped in here on way to the Van Gogh Experience at the Armory in Schenectady. This is a quite spacious, comfortable, brewery. They have a lot of outdoor patio seating as well a big inside. We each sampled some of their brews. I had the Pink Boots - a nice, hazy IPA and husband had the Cream Ale. We were very happy with our choices. Food is available at a window - through Annabel's Pizza Company - they have large selection of apps, frites, pizza, salads, and sandwiches. We each got a nice BLT on ciabatta bread that came with homemade chips. Looking forward to going back and getting the pizza!

    One of the peripheral pizza boxes. Not a good look!

    On Tuesdays when there is line dancing, is food or drink available, or is that closed?

    Do they allow dogs?

    Hi Lauren, only on the patio we do!

    Does the bar offer wine and/or liquor? Or is it just beer? I have some friends in town and want to head over but one of them doesn't drink beer...

    In-house brewed beer only.

    While in Utica getting the truck serviced I consulted my trusty Yelp App looking for a brewery,…read morewhat pops up but Nail Creek Pub and Brewery. We sat at the bar which is typical and had the absolute best experience with Emma, the bartender, who was big as a barn pregnant, but looking very cute. Emma was personable, knowledgeable and very engaging. We really enjoy the conversation, food/beer experience. I had the tacos and hubby had the grilled cheese with a cup of the soup of the day, all was very tasty!! Beer was very yummy! Should you happen upon Utica, NY, stop by Nail Creek Pub and Brewery, it's a great place to take a load off and have a local brew, great service and conversation. Say hey to Emma, unless she is giving birth to her baby.

    This is a great place to go to on St. Patrick's Day parade day morning in Utica. Service is great…read morethat day, the bartenders are attentive and friendly (especially if Linda is there). Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.
