The Olde English

Olde English is probably my favorite watering hole in Albany. It has a feel to it that no other bars downtown capture in my opinion. They have a scotch collection that keeps an enthusiast entertained and beer for my non scotch drinking friends.

I've seen some tasty looking food come from their kitchen, but I haven't tried any myself yet.

If you are looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy a pint or single malt, this is your spot.

The Olde English Pub is a nice place to stop by during the week for a beer and some fish and chips. The food here is pretty decent and tasty.

It is one of the locations at which one can obtain a large free drink to celebrate a birthday. At Olde English they offer the so called tea cup. Which is a mixing bowl sized tea cup filled with a beer of your choice, I always go with the Strongbow cider. This is probably my favorite free birthday drink offer. I'm not a big fan of dark bitter beers and I inevitable end the night projectile vomiting all over my bathroom whenever I have the bombers birthday margarita.

They also have darts and some scrabble boxes which are fun. The place is a little cramped but cozy. I have no idea what an authentic English pub should be like, but I find this place enjoyable.

This is one of those places where I could easily become a "regular." The environment is authentic and inviting. Food is great (have had chicken, beef burgers, and fries) and beer plentiful. Will definitely return.
