We stopped at Speckled Pig brewery on our way to Saratoga. Why not try another new to us brewery, right? Speckled Pig was a great find! Easy to find, friendly staff, a good beer menu, excellent beers, and pizza! We didn't try the pizza, but it looked delicious and others sitting at the bar gave it a thumbs up. We really liked their beers. One of the beers in our sample was their blueberry beer which was indeed blueberry! It's a nice space with a good amount of searing and they have a separate event space. This is a place we will recommend to others and will visit again! Second visit: the pizza is excellent! read more

Really wonderful experience. Service was nice, we just went in for three pizzas for lunch and did not need a reservation. The food was delicious and the vibes inside are very fun and casual. They just don't have any parking so be prepared to walk a little bit. read more

Have been here several times and want to be able to give a better review but unfortunately this brewery just falls short compared to other local ones. First off, the parking situation is not ideal. The brewery itself has no parking and can be tricky to find anywhere to park on the towns busiest days. I've tried multiple beers from here and have not found a single one that I have enjoyed and find myself wanting more of. As far as food, they do have one of my favorite pizzas in town (dill pickle) and is what keeps me going back. The staff have always been friendly and efficient. In all, I only find myself going back for their pizza since none of their beer really does it for me. read more

Had the Kung Pao Pizza-delicious!! Even my friend - who ordered the dill pickle pizza (also delicious)-agreed! read more

We stopped in on a Monday evening at 6 o'clock and were surprised at how busy they were. It turned out to be Trivia Night. We didn't attempt to play officially; we are already sufficiently challenged by Wordle. With 11 beers on tap, a hard seltzer that can be flavored 11 different ways, and a guest cider there appears to be a decent variety of alcoholic beverages. I never asked if there were any NA beverages available. Eleven may be the secret number here. There were 11 pizza combinations on the food menu in addition to a Big Bavarian Pretzel. I never asked if you could choose your own combination of pizza toppings. Looking at photos of the drafts menu that others have posted, it's apparent that the draft list is constantly changing. It also appears, for the most part, that beverages with an ABV greater than 5.2% are served in 13 oz. portions or smaller. The lower ABV beverages are served in 16 oz. glasses. Flights of four 5 oz. samples are available for $10. Otherwise, the cost of your beverage is $7, regardless of portion size. My wife decided to go with a flight choosing Mojito Hard Seltzer, Ruby Red Grapefruit Hard Seltzer, Pig E. Smalls West Coast IPA, and The Gringo Mexican Lager. Prior to making her selection, she had our server check with the bar as to which IPA was the most hoppy. Their recommendation of the Pig E. IPA turned out to be neither very bitter nor very dry. Both of us agreed the hands down winner in her flight was actually the Mojito Hard Seltzer. I had the 13 oz. South of the Porter Mole Stout (7.2% ABV) which I found to be quite flavorful and potent. Since the pizzas are individual sized cut into four slices, we ordered two. The Figgy Piggy ($15) has house-made ricotta sauce, sliced figs, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle. This was very tasty, but I thought there was too much arugula. Our other pizza was a Special that night - Old School ($15) with house-made fennel Italian sausage crumble, sliced peppers, and onions on top of a house-made red sauce topped with mozzarella. Overall, a great flavor combination with excellent sausage. The dough had good flavor, I just wish it was a little lighter in texture and more blistery around the edges. The restrooms are clean and street parking is at a premium. We parked in the municipal lot behind the firehouse. read more

They have vegan options--you can get the pretzel without butter (make sure you request) and they have vegan cheese for their amazing crust. SO appreciated, we will be back. (All the non-vegans and drinkers were very happy as well!) read more

Had a great time with friends last night- service and food were great snd I really enjoyed the live music by Ed King Band. The pub is adding private party rooms and a rooftop bar for summer of '23, I understand. read more

Well I can tell you the website does very little to tell you that there is food at this establishment but the food it great. Got the pizza which was served so hot we couldn't eat it for a bit, and only in 4 cuts though 8 would have worked better. The giant pretzel also looked fantasting. Got two flights of beer, mine including their ABV in house brewed root beer which was amazing. My flight included both sours, which I thought were fantastic and one IPA, all of which were stellar. My husband picked a flight where he didn't find all the beers as good as the ones I selected. The flight is a great deal though as there are a lot of beers on tap and its hard to find what iteration of what kind of beer you will prefer. Hands down will be back. read more

The place was so cute! We were sat promptly inside and I also got to see the rooftop which was so cool and would make a great spot in the summer! We got the Shroomin', Nashville hot, dill pickle pizza, and the Roni and everything was absolutely delicious! We also ordered a variety of the seltzers which was also so yummy and I loved the Prickly pear flavor! It does get busy and we ended up having another hour wait when we ordered a pizza to go so I definitely recommend getting there on the earlier side. read more

Newcomer to Ballston Spa, but I think they may stick around. They keep it simple serving beers and pizzas. You can see the beer tanks where it's brewed in house and they have 12 house brews on tap with a mix of IPAs, sours and malts. Parking might be tricky as you're relying on street parking. However, it's a good neighborhood spot. They currently have 3 TVs at the bar and a fourth around the corner. Not ideal for watching sports but if you get there early and grab a spot, could be a good way to spend a couple of hours. The staff is young, maybe needs a little seasoning, as when I was there they seemed more chatty with each other than tending to clientele. Bar tenders often had back to the guests. They seem to be doing the job, but could be more friendly and welcoming. It's got a lot of what is good about a neighborhood pub and I'm glad to see it as part of the Ballston Spa scene. read more

There's a lot to like about Speckled Pig. The space is inviting, with lots of seating options. The bartenders are friendly and attentive and talkative. The beers are quite good (that's the most important part, of course). They have cool swag, and they have their own pizza oven. There's a good amount of nearby street parking, so you're not likely to have to do a lot of walking to get there unless you're checking out more of Ballston Spa. They run their own pub trivia on Monday nights - I know of few other pubs that hold trivia on Mondays, so that's another unique draw, at least to me. There's lots of good reasons to include Speckled Pig in a visit to Ballston, or to include it in a pub crawl, or to bring friends. read more

What a great place for an evening catching up with friends! Immediately comfortable with the tables that are far enough apart to feel at home in your own space. We all enjoyed the West Coast Style IPA option although there is a lot of variety for other tastes. We started with a steamy fresh pretzel that came with two distinct and delicious mustards and a nice beer cheese with scallions. Plenty for a table of three to share and enjoy. The pizza was excellent. I love a toasty crust and I chose the Hipster with a variety of fresh veggies. My friends chose from the wide range of other creative unique options. We all loved our choices. Service by Nick and other team members was exceptional. Welcoming, never intrusive, not rushed, yet attentive and made us feel at home. I am so glad we picked this spot and I'm grateful for the excellent atmosphere food, beer and service they provided for a great night with my friends. read more

We hosted a safari theme/gender neutral baby shower here on 6/8 and it exceeded all of expectations. The owners Kelly and Mary curated our event with such a high level of attention to detail. They provided additional flowers, balloons that really tied everything together. The food blew us away as well. I highly recommend the charcuterie board. It's not only visually appealing but so yummy. You can't forget about their amazing za too! Nashville hot is a game changer. Lastly, the gals who were working our event were so polite and accommodating. We never worried a thing from the begging of the event to the end. It was incredibly well executed from start to finish. Speckled Pig is your spot for it all. Book with them today, you won't regret it. Thank you to the owners and the staff! read more

Made a 45 minute drive here after hearing good things. Stood at the bar for an hour for two $7 beers just to be told three separate times we would be the next party seated while watching numerous other parties get seated. To top it all off we then overheard an employee state it would be an additional 45 minute wait just for our food order to be ready once seated. Overly unprepared for a routine weekend night. read more

SP was a great addition to our already fantastic restaurant ensemble in Ballston Spa. But once they added the rooftop dining, it leveled up the experience. The pickled pizza is the most unique and the best. The beer selection is better than Druthers. Really good pizza selections and great environment. Good idea for small parties. read more

The most AMAZING pizza!! As a pickle lover, you can't miss this place! They have 2 types of pickle pizzas to choose from, one with dill pickles and one with dill pickles and spicy chicken. Our pizzas came fast, but people who arrived closer to the dinner rush had to wait an about an hour for their pizza. The rooftop has a great view as well and is a great place to get a drink with a friend. read more

Super fun vibe here, very hip urban chic! They have a nice gathering space with both tables and chairs as well as loungy comfy sofa's. An added bonus is their rooftop bar area for warm days and early evenings to chill. They even have a private party room located on the lower level. It's open for seating for special events and also available if you wanted to have your own private bash. The staff here is fun and super friendly and is always anticipating in advance when you want a drink or want to place an order for one of their pizza's. Their regularly available pizzas as well as their pizza specials are so so good and made to order. Thats not to say that I don't enjoy their seasonal brews or hard seltzers because it's all great! I had a Mexican Elote Chorizo Pizza, Cheesy bread, blueberry hard seltzer, hard root beer and gringo beer, all so so refreshing! They always have tasty brews that are either seasonal or on rotation so all wonderful. Give this spot a try, you'll have a great time!! read more

Waited over 1hr for a pizza I was able to eat in about 10 minutes, waiters seemed to ignore us and not care for us.

Great beer and great pizza! Staff very attentive and pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious pizza, great beer, friendly staff. It was our first time here but we'll be back.

We love this place. The menu is very limited. What they do, they do right! The pizzas are interesting and delicious always. Be adventurous. It pays off. The beer selection is excellent and they brew their own root beer too. They have an outside deck which is fun in the summer. Trivia night is looong and crowded but fun fun and different than most. The employees clearly love their jobs. It's a go to for casual pizza and beer. Parking is challenging. read more

First time at the Speckled Pig and it was wonderful! The brewery features a wide variety of beers, as well as wine and ciders for non beer lovers. I ordered a flight to try a few, and I really enjoyed the seasonal pumpkin ale. For food, the menu is almost exclusively pizzas, and they are DELICIOUS! We ordered the "figgy piggy" (such a cute name) and the cowboy pizza (one of their specials) to go and they were some of the best wood fired pizzas I've had in a while. The staff were really friendly and attentive, which really made the visit that much better. Overall I highly recommend this brewery when in the Ballston Spa area. read more

Cool brewery in Ballston Spa. The vibe is old industrial with the whole taproom being an open space. There's a small outdoor seating location as well, although we sat indoors. The service was good, the pretzel my wife and I shared was tasty as well. Overall it's a cool place with decent beers. I can't comment on the full menu since we only had an appetizer, but if you're in the area it's worth stopping in. read more

Wonderful surprise in the neighborhood! The ambiance was great and I had no idea there were this many hipsters and fun people in Ballston Spa. I typically go somewhere else close by, but they were closed for Labor Day Weekend. I'm so glad they were because I discovered that SPB is fresh, fun, and the beer they brew is really good! Even through they were busy the service was quick and friendly. The even have wine choices from a local winemaker. I did order a pizza and was pretty good, although a bit small for the price. Overall it is a go! I'll be back for sure! read more

Wonderful atmosphere, food and of course BEER. Went there on 12/10/2022 and had a wonderful time. The pizza (The Roni) was fantastic to go along with my #3 craft beer. The staff was very attentive and polite and was always around to wait on you. read more

Loud sportsball. But that's my problem not theirs, so minus one star because they were out of the only two beers I really wanted to try. The girl behind the bar was awesome and friendly. I love the building and space! I'll probably be back eventually! read more

Got the figgy piggy and the Popeye and they were both wonderful. Beer is not my thing but they have plenty to select from.

Good beer selections and service is good. Pizza (their only food) is quite good and fairly priced. Vibe is kind of industrial rather than fun. Good people run it, outdoor (roof) space is interesting. Seems like it will evolve. Good family setting I guess, but not great atmosphere. read more

Love that this spot is open on Monday nights - most places around us are closed that day so this was a great visit. It was quieter than I'm sure weekends are but still a good small crowd. Beautiful space and we had really excellent service start to finish from everyone working that night. We split flights of beer to try almost everything on tap and enjoyed it all, they have an excellent variety of styles on tap. The pretzel was awesome and we enjoyed the pizza as well. We will definitely return in the near future to try different beers as they release them. read more
