Best burger I ever had! Juicy and light, not the heavy dense burgers at other places. Poutine is awesome. Great staff. read more

1st time at the Albany location. Parking can be tricky so be prepared to drive around a bit to find a spot. My party of 7 was seated right away for Sunday lunch a few weeks ago. We ordered a couple appetizers and our meals within 10 minutes of arriving. That's where the quickness ended. The appetizers came out after maybe 20 minutes and entrees came out after we had been there for an hour. Our waiter, who also seemed to be the bartender, refilled some of our drinks but forgot to bring the refills for some of the others in our party. Maybe they needed 1 more on staff that day. The food was good but not miraculous enough to draw me back when I can find similar burgers and fries fare with easier parking and more prompt service. read more

Love this spot. Love the craft and care taken in both the food preparation and presentation. The chili is excellent and is a must in the winter. The burgers are piled high with fresh options. You could close your eyes and pick any option and never miss a fantastic meal. read more

Lovely service, food was quick to come out and simply delicious! A great place for a casual lunch in the Albany area.

We rolled in to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and let me just say--this place understood the assignment. From the second we walked in, the manager was out here doing Olympic-level hospitality gymnastics. This dude was everywhere--checking on tables, cracking jokes, making things happen like some kind of restaurant wizard. Seriously, I think he teleported at one point. The staff? A+ energy. Friendly without being fake, quick without making you feel rushed. The vibe was right. Now let's talk food and drink before I get emotional again: * Appetizers came in hot (literally and figuratively). Wings? Fire. Pretzel bites? Dangerous. * Mac and cheeses? Plural. Creamy, cheesy, and not afraid to go off-script with toppings. They understood the power of carbs. * Burgers? Juicy, cooked right, and stacked like they've got something to prove. One bite and I blacked out for a second. * Beer list was stacked and local. Solid choices and fresh pours. * And the bourbon pour? Let's just say they didn't measure with a ruler. Respect. Then, outta nowhere--the whole staff breaks into a birthday song that was so good I almost asked if they had a residency somewhere. The whole place joined in. My daughter beamed. Her boyfriend teared up (maybe). I definitely did. Bottom line: if you want great food, great drinks, and people who actually care that you're there, this is the spot. And if you happen to have a birthday? Buckle up, it's about to get magical. read more

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had! Our server Rebecca was amazing, super friendly. It was a bit loud inside, but we moved outdoors and it was lovely. I will be visiting again! read more

Great tasting food, great service and friendly people. Best Rueben sandwich I've ever had. Wish this place was closer to my home state out west! Miss everyone! read more

Went here on a Friday night for a bite to eat. Our server was wonderful and the food was good. I'm giving three stars because we had to wait almost an hour for the food to come out. I had the street corn fries, and my friends had a burger and the boneless wings. The restaurant was really loud. read more

The staff at tipsy moose are always friendly and make sure the food is served quickly. I personally am a fan of their brunch menu and loaded fries! overall their food is good but I will say I'm not the biggest fan of their brisket/ beef products (idk if it's dryness of the meat) but the flavor otherwise is great. The location on new Scotland ave is my go to, the inside has decent seating and bar stools good for a small group. read more

Wouldn't recommend sitting inside as there isn't proper ventiliation indoors. Sat out side on one of the tables with an umbrellWaitress wasn't very personable. Said the bare minimum to us. The bill was brought out to us prematurely without the offer for any drinks. Charged me for the entire bill, then refunded me and charged me for half of the bill-- which is fine but I would've at least appreciated some communication on that. Thank god for purchase notifications. The drinks were okay. Averaging about $10 each. read more

Dined in on a early Sunday morning for some Brunch. The lights were off at 10am when we arrived but the bartender was quickly getting the place ready & welcomed us in. We chose seats at the bar & ordered some adult cocktails. Ordered chicken waffle sliders and a breakfast pizza. Food took over half an hour but suspected it was due to their 10am opening time. Overall pretty decent food & polite staff. read more

Came here with friends for the Wednesday night trivia and drinks which was a lot of fun! They have outdoor seating and the servers were really attentive.

Very early lunch. Ordered basic burger. Med-rare. Came medium at least. We were the only patrons but bartender/server was busy setting up for lunch, so service was distracted. Place is clean. Music a little too present. read more

My fiancé and I had a wonderful time. The ambiance had a cozy, cable-knit vibe that I really enjoyed. While my fiancé felt the service could have been more attentive, I was quite satisfied. The food was divine--flavorful and perfectly paired with each dish. We tried the pickled fries, wings, and a sandwich, and everything was fantastic. This spot came highly recommended by a local friend. read more

Got Tipsy Moose via Uber Eats earlier this week and was very disappointed. My order of fries was... well al dente at best. Very undercooked. I understand that most people get their burgers less than well done but mine was as burnt as a hockey puck and had no flavor at all. Delivery order so no idea of ambience or service but won't be ordering again. read more

The vibes here are small, (very) loud college bar with greasy drunk food. Although it seemed to be attracting patrons of all ages. The food was good and abundant. I'm glad we opted for a flight of mac rather than entire bowl, it was fun to try the different options. I loved the idea of beer battered bread but unfortunately way too greasy to stomach. Cost was ~80 for the food pictured plus 2 fountain drinks (not including tip). Note: no parking lot, limited street parking read more

Came here with some friends! Cool bar. They have good food and good drinks and events during the week! Would come back again!

My husband and I came here bc the Recovery Sports Grill down the road had to close early and we were not disappointed! The BLT with candied bacon was sooooo good! Rustic decor inside. It gives more of a pub vibe than a restaurant. The noise level is pretty high though, as the music was quite loud. read more

My family and I stopped by the tipsy moose for some drinks and a late dinner. There are definitely wait staff here that are nice and some that are very rude and ignore you. There are a few tables inside outside in the patio area. I liked the outdoor fire pit they had going on. The chairs/tables inside are not comfortable. I was sitting with a giant wood beam in between my legs the whole time. They have a decent drink and food selection. The food: Fried pickles 3 dip and chip app Quesadillas chicken and cheese Buffalo wings- over cooked and dry Brisket French onion soup Beef with roasted peppers- dry overcooked Everything at this place was soooooooo salty. Really overly salted you will most definitely feel swollen the next day from all the sodium. Not a fan wouldn't go back! read more

Great pub atmosphere with amazing food and drink choices. We found this place after searching for a dinner spot close to where we were staying in Albany (very close to Siena College).The food and service did not disappoint. Save room for dessert as their cheesecake options are delicious!! read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try it here and although there is no waiters or waitresses the bartender was very attentive and waited on us. The environment of people that come in are the neighborhood trash they don't eat they just sit at the bar drinking and at add homeless people walk in to use the bathroom yuck. As for .. Our food was dumped in oil ... we had the brisket bacon egg rolls ( practically burnt in oil) the Philly cheese steak ... the steak was mushy and it was drenched with creamy cheddar cheese.. it was horrible. With it I had sweet potatoe fries ( also burnt in oil ). My husband had the burger not so bad so he said, I think he felt bad that he kept insisting to try this place... oh and his fries were also greasy as if they were refried in old oil I wouldn't recommend unless you're drunk .. the greasy food can cure a hangover Good luck if you're willing to take a chance. You may have better luck than we did on this day. read more

Came here for a late lunch when we were passing through Albany a little while back. Though we came a little after the lunch rush on a Sunday, there were still a considerable amount of people inside. Once seated, we shared a fried cheese curd appetizer to start in addition to our respective mains. I got a vegan version of their Philly cheesesteak. The fried cheese curds were amazing - it came with a berry jam dipping sauce that paired amazingly well with the cheese curds. As for my cheesesteak, it was good, albeit heavy. The portions were also incredibly generous - I ended up having leftovers for days afterwards! My only quibble about this place was that the service was pretty slow. They may have been a little short-staffed at the time, but we were on a tight schedule and we were worried that we would miss our train because it took a little while longer than anticipated for our food to come out. Otherwise, I thought the food was very good and I would certainly consider coming back here for a meal if I find myself in Albany again. read more

Until very recently I didn't even know this place existed. I'm a fan of the other two locations so when a friend of mine and myself arrived I had high hopes. It's certainly smaller than the other two locations, so to me it had a better vibe, more intimate and friendly. I started with a Moosehead lager, great choice. My friend ordered poutine, a little salty but flavorful. The portion was too much for one person so I helped. I ordered boneless wings,cajun ranch, delicious. We both ordered burgers, mine was swiss mushroom. A nice size portion with all the extras. Delicious! Our server was Violet, friendly and attentive. We'll be back...it lives up to the Tipsy Moose standards!! read more

Cool spot! Went with a group and enjoyed the experience. The hit of the night were the Mac 'n Cheese flights. Lobster, pizza, baked potato, and other flavors were great, and we loved the little cast iron cauldrons they were served in. Decent bar, good handles, great service. The place isn't big, yet worked out well for our party of 7. Disappointed that the World Series was blacked out, yet not the fault of the restaurant. Fun spot! read more

Great little moose lodgeisch pub. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Many different kinds of beer in tap and they make their own flavored whisky. I got a cheeseburger that was huge and delicious with wedge size fries. I found a 32oz. Moosehead Pilsner for $9! Parking is tough but there's overflow behind Taco Bell Nextdoor. read more

Comfort food, cozy atmosphere, awesome beers. This is a great spot to have some lunch and beer. It was nice and cozy on an icy day. We came to do a little day drinking and indulgent eating. Don't come here counting your calories. The entire menu is comfort food and it's all pretty good. We decided to try three different dishes. Poutine: regular poutine, this was my favorite. The gravy, cheese and fries were all perfect and together they were a match made in heaven. Really loved those. Huge portion too. Pizza: spicy meat lovers. This is elevated pub pizza. When a place doesn't specialize in pizza, I don't expect much, but this was certainly enjoyable. Call me picky when I say there was a little bit too much sauce. But the flavors were good and I would certainly try other pizzas here. Mac and cheese: chili. This generous potion was pretty good but not my favorite. A lot of people rave about the mac here and I just don't agree. It's certainly ok but not out of this world by any means. Normal elbows, not super creamy. The flavors were pretty good with the chili. All in all, tipsy moose is my favorite kind of restaurant. Elevated pub fair. I enjoyed my time here. Great food, laughs and beer. I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

We went here while in Albany this past week. I will start off with the only complaint we had. The interior portion of the place is too dark and was hard to maneuver around. That being said, we still had a great experience. We ordered the fried breadsticks with moosehead ale cheese and a Philly cheesesteak which also had the moosehead cheese sauce on it. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was wonderful. read more

BBQ was excellent!! Sweet potato fries were even better. Good beer selection!! Can't wait to go back.

We ate at the New Scotland Ave location. Definitely a bar like feeling, but the food turned out to be tasty and fresh. The staff didn't care that we lingered for a while. The Black and Blue Steak salad is delicious read more

Did take out, got a burger, Mac & cheese and wings. Burger was cooked well but it lacked in flavor even tho it had cheddar ale sauce, pulled pork mushrooms and onions. Nothing had flavor. The wings normal and decent, The best thing but still lacked a little in flavor which by adding a little salt to bring it out was the Plain Mac and cheese. It was good , honestly may be the best thing they have. My boyfriend got a spicy meat lover quesadilla, lobster mac & cheese, and meat lovers pizza. Quesadilla tasted like pizza. The Pizza itself wasn't great. Mac & cheese again best thing overall that he had gotten. So in conclusion get the Mac And Cheese read more

Good food.... Great staff Drinks and apps were good, first time here and I would definitely come back again read more

We visited here Wed 8/31/22 6pm. Very busy place. We found two seats at the bar. Sidewalk seating is available. Note: parking can be a challenge, but can be found on side streets. Service was immediate and friendly. Ordered a couple of drinks, wine ($9) & a house Margarita on the rocks ($10). Familiar w/ the menu due to multiple visits to the Latham location. Ordered a Tipsy Moose BLT ($13) & a Tipsy chicken sandwich ($16). Both were hot & tasty. Excellent & generous bacon as always. Solid offerings w/ chix wings in 10 flavors, brisket, pulled pork, & build your own mac & cheese-which is a very large portion. Hours: Tuesday 11:30AM-12AM Wednesday 11:30AM-12AM Thursday 11:30AM-12AM Friday 11:30AM-12AM Saturday 10AM-12AM Sunday 10AM-12AM Monday 11:30AM-12AM A good experience for our initial visit to this location which we tried based on visits to the TM in Latham, NY. Well done. Thank you. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY read more

2 different orders for pickup across two weeks. both time was asked chips or fries with my $18 sandwich order. BOTH times NO chips in the pickup order bag. secondly the Adirondack dip looked like a loose bowel movement, with no horseradish sauce included. I'M done with this place! They charge a premium price which would be fine if you got what you ordered. read more

Yummy food! We ordered take out lunch because we had limited time and it was ready on time. What delicious food! I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and a side of gravy. The gravy was honestly perfect--seasoned well, thick and perfect for fries. These were also seasoned well. The sandwich was great--my chicken was not dry at all. My buddy loved his blt and said his bacon had a maple season and was a great addition. Nice large portions and really nice service. I'd definitely return! Nice outdoor seating as well. read more

This a fun find, and apparently highly regarded locally! We weren't sure where to go for a business lunch and our business partners suggested the tipsy moose, raving about their menu. I have to admit, their ravings were well placed, and the food was awesome! I lodge like interior in a fairly standard looking corner location definitely surprised us, and the environs were relatively dark and comfortable. Antlers hanging and a woodsy appeal that was fun and funny (I love my rack shirts for sale just in time for October!). The food though...daaaaaaaaang! Their chili of the day was Caribbean jerk chicken chili - it was legit drool inducing, with proper chunks of chicken and pineapple and a base that was proper jerk seasoning spicy! Their menu pours into a feast for the eyes, everything from poutine to barbecue fare, and all the way back to burgers. Their poutine, btw, is massive! One of our guests got it and we all marveled and sampled at his invite. It was out of this world packed with meat and gravy and cheese and magical goodness! I ordered the Moose Rack - 8oz blackened beef patty topped with pulled pork and diced jalapeños, w/ sauteed mushrooms, onions, cheddar ale sauce, smoked bacon, egg - it was killer! The fries were even fantastic! read more
