We were road tripping through Oregon and our travels brought us to this little gem of an eatery in…read morecentral Albany. We were not expecting the food to be so good, but it was! Everything about this place is cool, hospitable, warm and inviting. My oldest kid had a chili dog, which they thoroughly enjoyed. We also ordered the shepherd's pie and a kids charcuterie board. Both were chef's kiss. The Squeaky Cork houses a full bar, and the spirit selection was quite impressive (particularly the Scotch). The wait staff and bartender were so pleasant and accommodating. No pretension, just good vibes. We appreciated the coloring books and crayons for our little ones as did the more grown-up fare on the kids menu. As a finale to a fun dining experience, the check was brought to us in a Scottish vintage hardcover book, pretty sweet! This eatery was definitely a highlight of our travels. It embodies a community pub vibe, that's for sure.

This has to be one of the coolest places in Albany! Decorated perfectly and cozy enough to feel like everyone is your neighbor! We only had apps (charcuterie) and drinks (he had a stout, i had a whiskey sour - have it made with shanky's whip and thank me later!!). The board had such a variety on it, we weren't sure where to start! and the drinks..... well, they are the well paved road to alcoholism!! I cannot wait to go back here and try the other food! Hopefully the same guy is there to greet us, because he was the friendliest little man this side of the wilamette!!

The Vongole -- clams in a white wine, garlic, and butter sauce -- arrived on a pasta that was neither bucatini nor cooked al dente. The substitution and texture both dulled what could have been a beautifully balanced dish. The Pollo Gorgonzola fared little better. The sauce was timid on the Gorgonzola, robbing it of the bold, creamy punch that defines the classic. The chicken itself tasted overworked -- almost as though it had been left to dry alongside the sun-dried tomatoes rather than complemented by them. For a restaurant commanding premium prices, I had hoped for execution matching the ambition of the menu. Quality ingredients and careful technique deserve equal billing, but unfortunately, both seemed to have missed the mark this afternoon. The only highlight was the server's amazing attitude and positive intentions. Cheers The Dutchman

I ordered the Lime Creme Brulee to go and it was exactly how you might imagine - classic egg custard with a a citrusy tang of lime. The restaurant itself had a vintage vibe, like a smoky speakeasy - but no actual smoke, to be clear. Wonderful dining experience.

I asked if they needed my name and was told by the hostess "no." I thought it was a little weird, but went with it. My coworker arrived first and he said reservations for 5. They asked him for a name! Haha, he said they looked at him like he was crazy. So that was weird. Otherwise, once we all arrived, the service was very friendly and attentive. Ambiance - it was open and had a mix of high top tables, low top, and bar seating. When it's busy, it's quite noisy. Not a place you can really carry a long conversation. I did notice there was a loft area that looks like a private party/gathering could be held. Once everyone left after the lunch rush, it was much quieter. Food - Yum! We started with the lemon pepper wings, which were recommended by our wait staff. The worst thing with wings are when they are dry and jerky like. This was not the case at Loafers. The wings were piping hot when they came out. Too hot to eat immediately. Once you got into the meat of the wings, it was moist. The lemon pepper flavor was great. Citrusy and peppery, not too salty. The wings came with baby carrots and celery sticks. I got the Buddha bowl which includes Rice, carrots, purple cabbage, avocado, sesame seeds, micro cilantro, mung bean sprouts, watermelon radish & peanut sauce and added seared ahi. I requested no rice and the waitress said it would be nothing if I don't get the rice, so she suggested getting salad. The bowl was massive. I'm not sure I needed the salad. It was really filling and the tuna was delicious. I felt the peanut sauce was a bit salty so I barely used it. Tuna has a pepper crust, so it was also flavorful. Overall, happy with our experience there for our team lunch.

This was the only place that said,"Yeah, we can seat you!" So, hubs and I make our way from our roadside motel (Studio 6, review will be posted) to downtown Albany. The parking situation was a little confusing, but we found parking a few blocks from the restaurant. We got a table, yay! The place is pretty cool, it was a bank back in the day. They have a nice limited menu which offers options for all sorts of food preferences. So, our table was full of carnivores, lol. Hubs had the special which was a smoked prime rib, daughter's boyfriend had the Wagyu Brisket burger and my college grad had the filet. I also had the filet. Everything was super tasty! I would totally recommend if you aren't in a hurry. The servers were great.
