Not anywhere near as fun or crowded as it used to be. Hit or miss really, and crowds rarely stay past 12:30, and even that was on a holiday weekend. Â After then it was about 5 people, music blaring, and the place looked tired like it was just begging for someone to come in and have a drink.
The bouncer can be kind of a jerk to people but probably nothing will be done about 'em since he's been there forever and does another gay bar or two. Kind of antagonistic if you ask me.
I'm giving it 5 stars only because I had such a good time there this past Friday night. We had started out at other popular bars, but they were just so crowded and filled with very young drunk people. Not my favorite scene, so we went to Oh Bar, really just for a break from the madness of everywhere else. It quickly became the best part of the night. We sat down, and immediately were served by a very charming bartender. Instantly made friends with others around us and had a GREAT time talking. We stayed there 'til closing singing Mariah Carey and it was just a blast! I highly recommend this place if you're just looking for an easy night out. This isn't the place to get your dance moves going...but i'm sure dancing occurs occasionally. The bathroom was VERY small...but clean. I''d go back easily. I'm not gay or from Albany and I would recommend it to anyone.
