We were so happy we found this place! We had delicious cold beer, crazy-inexpensive-tasty street tacos and quesadilla, and any football game we requested. It was admittedly pretty quiet at noon on Sunday, but it was nice to chat with the friendly sweet bartender. Will definitely go back if we get back to Albany. read more

Great beer selection and service The food is find of hit and miss Have had some good food there but I have been disappointed with some of it read more

I loved eating and hanging out at The Garage. I just loved the concept, and wish we had something like this in San Diego. The ambiance was so relaxing. The fire pits, and table fire pits were just lovely. Definitely read more

Don't come for the food. I've tried several things trying to find something decent. I want so badly for this to be a great place. Hamburgers have thin soggy bun. The meat in them is disgusting. I've tried a few melts. One was slimy and greasy. The other had hardly any ingredients on it and didn't include the sun dried tomatoes that were supposed to be on it. They didn't fix but I got a discount. We tried the charcuterie board and it looked like a 3 year old put it together with lunch meat from the school cafeteria. The one saving grace is the pizza is OK-ish. The upside - beverages are good and entertainment is fun. If they could only put together a decent meal.... read more

Still a really cool joint to grab a pint and bite. Staff is still friendly and lots of great beer to be had. They food is not bad but could be a little better and this place would be truly amazing.. read more

Went there for a beer and food. 1.25.25. Been there before. This time the guy behind the bar had his phone stuck to his face, kicked back in a chair with his feet on the bar. We had to interrupt him several times to get another beer...beer could have been colder..the bathroom was disgusting, the back end looked like a garbage pit. We ordered chicken nachos, and 2 chicken tacos....they didn't have enough chicken to pull that off, mind you, it's Saturday!!! This will be our last time there, and a $0 tip!! We have reviewed another of places and have to say that this one has definitely gone to the dumps since the first few times we have been there.. read more

large selection of beer on tap, food was terrible. Back patio area was dirty and full of weeds. read more

The burgers, beer and cider were great! The service was top notch. We will definitely go back.

The flatbread had decent flavor but was undercooked and underwhelming. I ordered the veggie and they served it without the balsamic drizzle that was listed as an ingredient, they had to take it back and put it on. You order at the counter, which is fine but doesn't provide a feeling of service or any personal interaction. The door to the patio was open and the room wasn't very warm. We don't intend to return. read more

Great place for drinks. Meet several people a Ms had good laughs. If you want to have a fun time with friends this is where you want to go. read more

Great selection of beer, food looks good (never tried it, tho), and they have pulled together their theme well, which is often lacking in a lot of growler fill bars. Now if they just got a sound panel or two to absorb the echo, it'd be stellar. read more

Wow. Great tap list, food and vibes. And I'm all about the VIBEZZZZZZ! Will be back next time we are rolling through ALB read more

Apparently this is what you get when you order original chicken wing. No sauce added whatsoever. Definitely previously frozen and baked. Don't come here expecting good food. The two ladies working here even admitted that one goes to the back to quickly cook up whatever's necessary. No dedicated kitchen staff. Vast beer selection, and that's what gets the single star. Also, even though the quesadilla is listed as coming with pico de gallo on the side, we were forced to pay an additional 50 cents for whatever can of expired salsa they just opened up in the back. The quesadilla was also inedible. Conclusion: it was all downhill after the beer. read more

They have a great rotating selection of beers and everything I've tried on the menu has been great.

A hidden gem in the heart of Albany!!! Traveling through for business, and I found this place using a google search, "pub in Albany, OR". Amazing decor, you feel that you are in a relaxed pub. Clean place, and really well-decorated with historic garage pieces. 54 beers on tap, and they serve wine as well! Great pub food selection like sandwiches, sliders, bratwurst, nachos, "street tacos," etc. This place is super relaxed, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is great. I had the nachos, and they served it food cart style. For approx. $9, they were HUGE and full of meat and cheese and the extras I asked for. Highly recommend you stop in and try it for yourself!! read more

We only get to Oregon once a year but this is our "go to" spot for local craft beers and great libations! So relaxed, welcoming and Friendly! They stay busy, and are almost always hoping and relevant! You've got to come try out their selection of drinks ! Great customer service and great drinks! read more

Pretty good selection of beers on tap the food looked kinda iffy tbh nice service tho

Beer is cold. Plenty of choices. Clean with great atmosphere. Store bought jalapeño poppers, very disappointing. Chips and salsa with your German Reubens....kinda odd. Sandwich is so so. Could be better, more meat... read more

Great selection of beers and ciders and love the flat bread pizzas. Love the 90s rock and atmosphere. Will definitely go again when in Albany. read more

Have been twice recently great beer selection. My Husband likes the wings I had chicken nachos that looked more like shredded pork, not much taste. Went back this evening thinking maybe just macOS weren't that great, so tried pub burger not much flavor and burnt fries. That's it for me! read more

HOLY BEER! Loved visiting this place with my family. Took us about 10 minutes to decide on our beers and they were all amazing. Great food as well! read more

Pretty good food and beer. But the service is horrible. Nice enough people but super slow. It's well known that the service is bad butyl put up with it due to limited options in Lebanon read more

44 taps of brewery fresh! What more needs to said? Tracy the owner is really friendly and the beer selection is fantastic! You can also bring in your own food or have food delivered from one of the local restaurants. A great place to drink and watch your favorite team! read more

The Garage - 44 taps! - Breweries Near Me - Albany, Oregon

By far the best place to get a good draft beer and a snack in town. Their beer selection (54 taps!) rivals much more pumped up establishments up and down the willamette valley, the outdoors seating is nice in the summer (we were there on the 4th of July for an afterlunch drink!) and the service is friendly and quick. The beers can be a little bit expensive (not all of them), but food is cheap so it compensates well ;o) Try the mac and cheese and the brat! The wife loves it also because it's got kombucha on tap. read more

A perfect beer oasis in downtown Albany. I'm terrible with names but the two guys working on Saturday the 2nd were so awesome. They had great recommendations, welcoming conversation, and feed us some really delicious bar food. read more

This place is SO COOL. You get to pick your own flight rack and fill it with anything you could dream because they have like 100 taps. I loved every single one I tried. Great prices too and service! Food was good too! Perfect place to chill with some friends or have a fun date night. read more

The girls that work there are fun and they have a very nice wide selection. My only complaint can me that customers that come there are rather aggressive and make me uncomfortable. I have to go with my husband just to feel like it's ok that i'm there drinking. read more

I spent about 2 total weeks in Albany, Oregon for work and during my stay, I looked online and came across the Growler. I don't have enough good things to say about this place. Incredible food for really cheap and great beer! Portions aren't super big but great pub and grub. The atmosphere is very laid back and the bartenders were very helpful. This is not a place for people to be stupid but for people to relax and chill after a long hard days work. I never once felt pressured to stop tasting beers which is a big deal for me. They have a big menu and so it's a little overwhelming at first. This is only drinks on tap people so you won't get any bottles here but they have an extensive variety of beer and also wine, ciders, and kombucha. (I'm not a fan of those other ones but if you are, you should definitely come here because they have a large amount of those as well). I came here one of the first days I was staying in town and I found it hard to go anywhere else the rest of the trip. Tracy the owner is a very nice guy. He gave me advice on places to tour while I was there and was super polite every time I walked in. Later on the trip I'd come in and he'd call me by name. The bartenders were always very polite and super helpful. All in all you won't be disappointed with this place if you like to relax, eat a cheap meal, and take part in a great craft beer ;) read more

When we are in town for the horse shows, we always make time to stop in for good beer, wine and snacks! The owner is great and the staff is always quick and friendly. If you have not been in, you should! I had a delicious peach sangria and nachos with homemade beer cheese sauce and chili! Yum! read more

Dizzying array of brews and ciders. Brie helps you narrow it down. The brat is yum! Downtown Albany needs more entrepreneurial enterprises like this. Stop in and say hey. If you can't find a libation to satisfy here, you're probably either Mormon or a member of AA; in which case Brie says the root beer is very good. read more

The Garage - Brie is the consummate bartender - Breweries Near Me - Albany, Oregon

Trivia night is a blast. Several beers, ciders to choose from. I give 4 stars because the food isn't the best. It's like the kitchen is trying but doesn't have much experience. Somebody there loves salami, it's on practically every sandwich. Yuck. I'd love to see more pub fare, burgers, fries, mozzarella sticks, maybe a big wedge salad... read more

Nice place, many many taps! We are just passing through on a road trip but I'd suggest it if you're in the area!! read more

This review is only about the food and service. The beer is fantastic!!!! I'm going to use bullet points. 1. Meeting a good friend for food and drinks. 2. On work trip 3. Super dead when I went in; maybe 3 other twosomes. 4. Two dudes working, one seemed new; nba game was about to come on. 5. ordered beer and food (reuben and vegggie plate) 6. my friend ordered tacos no problem with service 7. i waited quite a while for my food. 8. walked and asked where my food was after about 20 minutes. 9. brought out my sandwich and it was okay 10. waiting another 10-15 min for my veggie plate (should have been brought out before my sandwich probably) 11. Asked them where my veggie plate was (all this time they are both chatting with the patron at the bar and watching the nba game. again there are hardly any customers inside) 12. brought it out in 5 min. 13. brought wrong dressing (i wanted TI) 14. veggie plate was supposed to have snap peas. none were on there. Veggies looked like they had just came from a bag, and did not look that clean. cauliflower was slimy nasty. 15. brought wrong dressing for 2nd time 16. finally brought right dressing for 3rd time. 17. Seemed non-chalant about everything and didnt seem like they cared. 18. I feel super annoyed at the poor service and attention to detail 18. I am a server at a restaurant so I understand that mistakes happen when its busy. 19. Dont go in here to get food or on a monday night when its dead or just dont get any veggies.. 20. Beer is excellent so this is not about beer. beer gets 5/5 stars. Thanks and I hope you have a better experience then I did and I hope the manager sees this. *I dont think the owner was working tonight. read more

Great place for a wide selection of beer, growlers and even wine. It gets packed on the weekends though so plan accordingly! They have a great little backyard patio too! read more

Well... we've been waiting an hour and 15 minutes so far and no food. We are thirsty but don't want to order more beer and spend any more money here. Beer selection is ok, but taps do t produce cold beer. Won't come back again. read more

Been here twice. Fantastic beers on tap, nice atmosphere, and great service with competent employees that know their drinks. I'll definitely be making a few trips in this summer. read more

What a fun place! Stopped in for lunch. Limited food menu, but great prices. Bacon Mac was yummy. Tons of beers on tap, but at $6 each I limited myself. Would go back for happy hour. read more

Huge selection and excellent service. The nacho cheese sauce is ridiculously delicious!

Cudos to Yelp. Anthony and I wanted a cold one. Found this place on Yelp. 4.5 stars, looks good. 50 different brews. The barkeep was delighful! She kept serving up samples until we found the perfect brewsky. (No, we only had 2 or 3 samples, not 15 like you are thinking...). Had a brat and a beer. It was splendid! Good prices, too. Go there. read more

My favorite bar in Albany. Plenty of beers and a good setting. Sat out back once during the day and it was very pleasant. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is I did not eat any of the menu. I would love to have this place in my hometown. Oh yea almost forgot......bathrooms are super clean. read more
