Broadway Brew Biergarten

Always one to celebrate the ever-evolving beer culture in the Capital Region, I went here with some friends when we were going out in Troy one night.  I found Broadway Brew Biergarten to be a quieter, more intimate version of the City Beer Hall and also Wolff's Biergarten in Albany.  The beer and food menu definitely reminds me a lot of Wolff's Biergarten, but with having various game offerings like Jenga, it tries to cater to that City Beer Hall vibe.  That being said, this place doesn't have anything that makes the bar feel any different than the aforementioned places, so it doesn't feel like anything special.

This place is good for large groups. The tables are large and there is plenty of seating.

Jenga and yahtzee is available. There are large buckets of peanuts all over.

Sometimes the waitresses dance on the bar and give out free shots (very weak).

The beer selection could be better for a beer garden.

I have to admit I have never been inside this place.  And never will.  Every time I walk past the place at night it is filled with 20 something  riff-raff.  Young guys with with baseball hats on sideways,  gold chains, pants down to their butt with their underwear showing and squeaky clean white sneakers unlaced.  Get the picture?!  And their female counterparts...looking skanky as ever. This has turned into a local thug/ hoochie mama hang out.  So, unless you're into that scene, avoid it!  Too bad it has turned into that type of hang out since the interior is great and I would want to hang out someplace like this, less their current clientele.
