This is a good, old-style bar. Not many frills, friendly people, and cheap (and cold) beer. I stopped in to have a few beers and hang out. To my delight they had $2 pint cans of PBR, so I was pretty stoked. Everyone seemed nice and it was pretty calm. The only drawbacks were 1) it is pretty tiny (cozy, some might say), and 2) there are lots of televisions (which might be your thing).
Also, there seemed to be lots of Phish paraphernalia around and even a guy wearing a Phish t-shirt. I don't know what that was about. I was getting a little jam-band-vibe as I parked my ass at the bar. I didn't stay long enough to find out more.
Always enjoy myself here... love the locals. Â has limited seating, always backed no matter what night but has a nice sized back patio area in the nice weather. Â I liked that I was Gluten Free and wanted some GF beer and they got it in! Â Wings are great too.........Never disappointed.
Fast service and nice pour so when you want a stiff drink this is the place to get one! Â I don't know if that is good or bad..ask me tomorrow. Â Very mixed crowd nice to see in Schenectady!
Even on a Wednesday evening, the 20 North Broadway Tavern was certainly busy, maybe due to its size, since this is a small bar and tavern. Â Nevertheless, our group was quickly seated and served.
After our server rattled off the entire beer menu (and believe me, they have quite the beer menu), I decided to try an Alpine Spring beer. Â For food, after looking at the menu of mostly sandwiches and burgers, I decided to order the Greg Allman burger, along with some curly fries and a side order of macaroni salad with tuna. Â The food and beer tasted fresh and well prepared. Â Certainly worth trying out again.
