This is a cool place, hip vibe, great location and of course a great beer selection. I wish I had the means to bring something home, their selection seems killer. They do have a lot more cans than draft, which was somewhat hard since you couldn't really look at every can they had behind the counter. Therefore, I opted for a delicious IPA on draft., which was a little pricey but worth it I suppose. It would be cool if they could have a can list as well, so you could more readily see what they have in the case. I understand this would be difficult with the ever changing selection, however, it was bothering me that there was A LOT I couldn't really evaluate. Otherwise, they have a bar side and a gaming side, which had Sega and Nintendo, which was just awesome. They had cans for purchase to drink or to go, draft pour, and a welcoming environment. All in all, I would definitely stop in for a beer if I found myself on Lark street, next time, I'll just ask more about the cans.

This is a mellow beer bar with both indoor seating and a few tables outdoor (not covered, just on Lark street). They have TV's inside as well as one bar with seating at it. I liked that they had a variety of beers on tap as well as tons of canned beer to take to go. I agree with another review that it's a tad on the pricey side. Most of the beers are about $8-$10. However, because of the type of beers they have you probably can't find all of them at your local bars. Overall it's a cool, chill spot especially if you're just looking to grab a drink during the day.

Excellent customer service and good beer. Very good social distancing. For finger foods their foods were quite good. Reasonably price and a good place to hang out.

Their rotating beers are excellent! I had the Sloop Juice Bomb (Hopewell Junction, NY), a New England IPA. Which was served just at the right temperature in a 16oz goblet. It was a smooth beer. However u preferred the Finback Connect the Dots, which is a watermelon Imperial IPA. It had just the right amount of watermelon flavor to taste. Definitely recommend! The environment is cozy, it contains friendly and approachable staff. A plus for dog lovers- dogs are allowed!

Saturday night dinner service can sometimes demand a period of winding down prior to heading home. An adult beverage, along with some conversation, can provide the ideal transition between work and rest, with a bonus if you can walk to a place that allows for both. Lucky Center Square residents have the fairly new incarnation of Pint-Sized, which has evolved from a coffee/beer-to-go spot into a full-fledged beer and cider joint, that does a fairly good job of meeting both of those needs. My friend and I rolled in sometime after 11:00 to find a hopping bar and selection of quality beverages. While I love a good beer (and plan to drink a few next month while in Europe), cider has been my jam in recent years. I just find it a bit lighter in my belly. As soon as I spied the beautiful can of Nine-Pin Cider Rosé, my decision was made. We grabbed two and headed to the less crowded area, down one step and 10 decibels. We sipped our drinks directly from the can and caught up, enjoying the great view of Lark Street and the excellent playlist. We were eventually joined by a pretty damn noisy group of folks, but they didn't detract from the experience too much. I do wish, though, that people could moderate their volume a little better but, it was Saturday night and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. As did we. I think I found my new summer sipping spot. Check it out.

This is a great bar, where on any given night you can run in to Albany friends and explore some amazing beers from all the best microbreweries. They consistently always have the best music playing and have some great DJ takeover nights that cover a wide range of musical tastes but still not your typical bar DJ scene. Plus - retro video games in the back room. In the summer I specifically enjoy sitting at a sidewalk table and watching Lark Street come to life. Something for everyone at Pint Sized, even some cheap 'Gansetts when its rent week.

Freaking wondrous if you're a coffee or beer nerd. Stocked up on my super-ginchy Stumptown coffee. Civilization has arrived!

Absolutely lucked into this place while visiting our daughter at a nearby college. We were headed…read moreto the donut shop next door and saw the sign for the cheese shop. (Certainly a lucky neighborhood) It looks small from the street but once you walk in, it opens up to a sizable store. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, he took the time to describe their cheese selection and the other things going on in the shop. He then pivoted to giving us tons of help selecting the right cheese. We sampled a couple of things and then he dialed in three choices for us to buy. (With an assist from another customer that insisted that we would love the Delice de Bourgogne) Prices were reasonable enough for the quality. We added some gourmet crackers that were neutral enough to not overpower the cheese. The next day, we made the three cheeses the focus of our lunch. The Delice de Bourgogne was the star of the show, a creamy, earthy, and savory masterpiece. The two year aged Gouda and creamy blue cheese were delightful as well! Truly glad that we walked into The Cheese Traveler!

What a fantastic find -- a small but very well curated collection of cheeses, with an extremely…read moreknowledgeable staff who don't pressure you but provide help where needed. We appreciated the relatively local (Quebec, VT, NY) cheeses they have, and our destination cheese, Wisconsin Brick (which we had never tried before, and which they were quite willing to work with us on getting the appropriate size). The sandwiches looked delicious but we were there at the wrong time of day, alas, but we will 100% be back. If you like cheese, this is a destination location for the region.
