    The sidedoor is where I go for pizza and wings from time to time Don't bring a date to impress. But come for karaoke and food specials.

    The food really isn't that bad for a sports bar. Every so often they will have local, live entertainment.

    We were in town here grabbing some dinner with my nephew who is a student at RPI. It's been forever…read moresince I've been at a mall, but there was plenty of parking despite the rainy weather, and we got into here quickly for a table for dinner. Their dessert case right in front of the entrance was taunting me.... We were seated and greeted by Sang Jun, who was fantastic. It turns out that we are all Korean, we figured that out at the end of the meal but he was amazing as a server. Never needed to ask for anything, made several recommendations, and we had a really great meal and evening. The menu is giant! Come hungry for sure! I started out with a margarita flight, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. We started out with the ahi tuna nachos, which was delicious and beautiful. Scallions, tuna, fried wonton skins as chips, jalapeños and sauce that made it all worth every calorie. I ignored the jalapeños, but still inhaled the tuna and everything else. Crowd pleaser for sure. My nephew got the salmon special, served with sweet potatoes. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and chicken that came with lo mein. The sauce was a Thai curry base and has veggies and was literally inhale-able. I ate the proteins (cooked perfectly) and some of the noodles, then ended up eating the leftover noodles the next morning. Still just as good cold out of the fridge! My brother got the ramen. They were out of the pork (or it was off the menu) so he went with the beef. That looked so good, bowl was filled to brim with noodles, garnishes, and beef. It was perfect since he wasn't feeling well. My nephew decided halfway thru his salmon dish he wanted a side Caesar salad and Sang Jun brought one tha looked like it was made for the Internet. Well plated and giant portion. We were absolutely stuffed so we had no room for desserts, even though they looked so good in the cooler walking in. We had a nice discussion with SJ about our family trip to Korea last summer, telling him about some of the most embarrassing moments and getting a good laugh. I guess this is a chain, but I hope that I see one again. I'll be ready to have the same exact thing, or try something new- I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks to the team and Sang Jun for a memorable meal here in Albany!

    Let's Start With The Front Desk Supervisor Never Made Eye…read morecontact till he was Done Cleaning The Reservation Board. Then Seat's us Right next to A 16 People Party ( Not that busy to be on Top of Other's) Then we Sat And Waited & Waited for Someone To at least Bring Us Water. 10 min's Later I got up and Went back to front Desk And The same Supervisor is Playing on his phone I asked can we get Help and He Says " What Table". So if you are in Charge you Should be aware of Every Table on your SHIFT. He Never Came Back to Apologize or Say anything. Not even offer A Drink or Desert. Guess This A BIG FAT NO FOR US . Who Live Local.

    My wife and I stopped by with our three friends about 8pm on Saturday night. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by the nice ambiance and decor with what looked like a copper top ceiling, a main bar, a few raised tables and 2 cozy leather chairs that made me think of enjoying a nice after dinner bourbon in the study of an late 19th to early 20th century study of a business tycoon or politician from that time period.. The bar tender, Noah, was impressive and friendly in that he knew his liquor stock very well, and could explain the flavor intricacies of the various types of bourbon, vodka, and gins. They also offer some non,-alcoholic beverages for the "designated driver" of the group too. We watched Noah make everything from regular and "dirty martinis" with fresh ingredients, as well as one drink where he used a butane lighter and some tiny cedar chips in a straining tool above the drink to give it a fresh, authentic smoky look and flavor. Noah knows his stuff!!!!! The patrons were friendly, diverse, and easy to socialize with if you chose to do so. The establishment is pet friendly for "socialized pets" with a water bowl outside the establishment and some free Milkbone treats inside. Keep in mind that this establishment is a "tasting room" with the majority of products from the New Scotland Distillery, but there are other options. Just don't expect to get a Bud Light Draft or food here. The only downside is that parking in the Lark Steet and State Street location is difficult to obtain without some effort, but we managed to park our vehicles 2 blocks away. This is not a direct criticism of the establishment because the experience is well worth this minor potential inconvenience. We would definitely go back there again, especially for the specialty drinks or the flights and half flights of their bourbon and vodka products. Thank you once again, Noah, for a pleasant and educational evening!!!

    No better place on earth. I love it here. Always have. Always Wil. Their manager is a hero to all…read more You must come in here. You must hang out. It's fantastic.

    We made a dinner reservation Thursday May 14, 2026 two weeks in advance. Confirmed reservation two…read moredays before with Linda & Dan K. We were a party of eight. Brothers & sisters get together monthly at different restaurants & pubs. We, Nick & Liz, are regulars here & it was our turn to choose. For everyone else this was there first visit. First our table was all set. Our server, Christina, had already set out menus & waters, then took our dinner orders. One sister was impressed with her Bloody Mary made by Dan K. Two excellent pub melts w/ steak fries-always great, two Cajun fish tacos - just great (and she's the fussy sister). Also the Cajun dry rub chicken wing appetizer was also great. Everyone was happy with this choice. Also enjoyed four rounds of Thursday Night Trivia. Thank you Greg & to the staff & the kitchen. You all made it a great, fun evening. See you again soon.

We tried a few…read moreplaces in Delmar because we had an event there earlier and everyplace was too crowded or loud so I suggested ATSP. What a nice evening, great service, an awesome duo/ band performing ( Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson covers so that would definitely bring me back! ) and ofc great food. It's always been reliable, good food , and welcoming. Disco fries, bbq bourbon chicken sandwich, and sirloin steak sandwich- steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. It's great when good things stay the same.
