well I can't give such a great review nor can it be bad. The business is fairly brand new and like all new business they try to figure out what direction to go and how to have a steady momentum. This place is still I feel trying to find out what works and what doesn't. For food it's not really that impressive the burger patty is like a hockey puck which is was a little more spread out and flat to make it easier to eat the stockade massacre which had pulled pork and onion rings? odd combo for a massacre. But like I said don't really go for the food though it is average bar food for the average price. It's a big place with slow bartenders or not enough. But nice spead open area, again it's just starting out
Review Source:I am giving this establishment 2 stars. Â 1 for the drinks and 1 for the server. Â
We walked in on a Friday night when it was gorgeous outside and were offered a seat on the patio. Â Our first question was, is there smoking allowed on the patio because if so, Â we absolutely do not want to sit out there. Â The hostess indicated that on their seated patio, there was not smoking allowed. Â But out in their open patio there was. Â We opted for the seat on the patio, and of course where does she sit us.....right next to their open patio where there were 2 people at a picnic table chain smoking. Â Apparently the hostess did not have her hearing aid in when we said absolutely not next to smoking. Â
In reviewing their beer menu, they had a decent draft list with a few beers that were on the more challenging side to find (Sam Adams Cherry Wheat on draft!) Â but nothing that was a huge rarity. Â Their prices were listed by beer size and pitchers. Â I was impressed with the prices, they were extremely modest. Â
The food here was perhaps the worst I have had in a long time. Â The next morning still, I am feeling the effects of the insane amount of salt in it. Â My fiance and I each got a burger. Â I got a bacon cheeseburger, he got a bleu cheese burger. Â Mine was cooked medium rare but when cut in half, it looked extremely funny on the inside but could not quite put my finger on why. Â It was almost as if the outside was seared and the inside was completely raw. Â This is not what medium rare is. Â The texture of the burger was strange and awful, and the amount of salty seasoning on it was overwhelming. Â For someone who is routinely not picky, I struggled my way through eating less than half of this. Â The fries were mediocre, but shined in comparison to the burger. Â Eric felt the same way I did about his. Â Â
Emily, our server was nice and accommodating. Â She knew we were unhappy about the food and was apologetic as she could be given the circumstances. Â Her service overall was good, so perhaps they do have some good employees here who care about service. Â
The bar overall is huge, so if you're looking to go somewhere that's not going to be crowded and you'll have space to hang out and mingle, this is it. Â Both of their patios were really nice, and the inside was spacious as well. Â
I will return here for drinks, but this was possibly the worst food I have ever had. Â I wish the Centre Street Pub luck because with this kind of food, they will need it!
We were looking forward to trying the place. Â Food is decent but a $1.50 up charge for forgettable fries (over chips) is ridiculous, especially when the burgers start at $9. Â Limited menu. Â No desserts. Â Good beer selection. Â Service lacking. Â The place is geared to the college crowd and we felt tolerated. Â We won't be back. Â Rather go to Bier Abbey, Katie O'Byrnes or Johnny's.

This bar recently opened up near me. I've been here once before this and it was to have a couple drinks after an awesome night out. This time going it was just to distress.
The following are out of 5 Points.
* (4) Customer Service - Meaning how well they assisted me in my needs.
I believe the Customer Service here is pretty excellent. Kristen was awesome, she kept our one guest's drinks filled and always asked if we needed anything.
* (1) Decor - The atmosphere of the place.
It's a very open space, for instance if you wanted to compare bar sizes this is probably one of the bigger bars in Schenectady. However, the décor is just weird. Nothing makes me think that this was once a brewery from 1892, except for the beer cans on the wall, which weren't manufactured by the once brewery. The atmosphere of this place can greatly improve. I do like the jukebox though.
* (2) Food & Drink - How well the food tastes, their selection of drinks
Drinks are pretty delicious here. I had an Angry Balls, which is a combination of Fireball Whiskey and Angry Orchard. However, food here isn't all that great. The fries that came with my "Stockade Massacre" were a joke. I can compare them with fries from the frozen food section in Price Chopper. The burger wasn't all that great either. Ideally, the ingredient concept behind the burger was great, but there were too many flavors mixing and I couldn't get a real sense of how this was supposed to be like "The Stockade Massacre" (Actually known as the Schenectady Massacre for you history buffs out there.) They have these corny names for their burgers, such as "The Doid" which is what apparently Union College students call Schenectady citizens. It is a chicken breast, on a ciabatta roll with spinach and tomato. Not very derpy if you ask me. For an appetizer, I ordered coconut shrimp, which was pretty good.
* (1) Price - Here I am not grading my cost, but by the quality of the food I get for the money I spent. (Example: I pay $5 for a hamburger that I could make myself.)
The coconut shrimp was $10 for 6 small shrimp battered in coconut and panko. Slightly confused about this.
* (3) Presentation - How things are presented. Food, Drink, Staff, etc.
The staff was in uniform, I believe. I know the bartenders and the bus boy was in uniform, however I don't know if my waitress was or not since she seemed to be the only one I saw. However, uniforms are something I look forward to so always props to that. On a slightly negative note, I felt that the employees were abusing their employment, since they would go to the drink fountain and drink a cup of soda, pour it out, and grab another. Unprofessional. Food presentation was mediocre at best, food is served in a plastic tray with newspaper type wax paper.
Overall Score: 11/25
Final thoughts. This is a pub, and it calls itself a public house and uses the English spelling for Center, which would make someone assume it's typical Brit pub food. It's none of that. It's generic "American" food, which can be made better at the Burger King. I can only say I will give them a redemption in a few years, thus giving them time to sort out their kitchen and what they plan on offering. I would come back for drinks, but food. No thanks.
