Suzie's

  Fantastic little bar, hidden right off Delaware Ave & Madison. The bar has a very cozy and warm feeling to it.  It's the perfect place to swing by for a couple cocktails after work with friends. There's a fantastic patio area hidden in back, the crowd is friendly, and Suzie who owns and operates the bar is an absolute sweetheart. Suzie also won "Albany's Best Bartender" in 2006 via Metroland's Readers Picks.
  
  They have a Happy Hour from 6PM to 9PM with $3 and $4 Pints of 16 different beers on tap and they do a Trivia night on Tuesdays at 9PM.

  Best dive bar in Albany.  Decent beer selection.  Decent crowd.  Huge patio.
  
  Also, Suzie and her brother are very nice.
  
  The end.  I love this place.

  $3 drafts.  Strange but tasty blue mystery shots, even if you can't recognize Lucerne from a picture of a tower with some water next to it.  What else do you need in a bar?

  Suzies is totally the place to go before starting your night out. Or it is the place to have your night. It's really quiet and relaxed before 11 or 12 or so. The drink prices are fair.
  And I really, really, love the glittery red floor.

  suzie's is not on any local listing. i do not have the number. but i have been here a Number of times. it is where the Griffon used to be, a couple of places down from romeo's (pizza joint).
  
  Suzie is really a great girl. she used to tend bar at the old lionheart when it was where bombers is now. the bar is a smallish area but has a number of seats at the bar, a number (ok. i swear i am not hung up on the word number) of them along the wall behind it and a couch at the edge. she also has a very nice patio out back with plenty of tables and umbrellas for the rain.
  
  the crowd is usually very local and everyone knows everyone else (side story - many years ago i stopped in here when it was still the Griffon and a guy collapsed against the wall. i ran to him and called 911, it turns out he had a heart attack and no one noticed. he would have died. i left when the paramedics arrived. i hope he is still ok.)
  
  we go here every tuesday night for trivia and everyone has a great time. the prices are very reasonable and they even have the tv games. a nice place to go to relax.
  
  of course, you Will be accosted by the local bums if you venture outside or go the little store next door. i have been propositioned and threatened outside here. but i just shrug it off, it Is lark st extended afterall.
  
  i can think of a Number of reasons to come here. (he he)
  
  oops. i just noticed that i entered it at Delaware St. it is Ave. (do we even have a st here? a terrace yes but a st? hm)
