Waterworks Pub

This place saw better days. About the only thing that can save it now is probably a wrecking ball unfortunately.  

Not sure the need for this place to wreak of stale spicy food, but it hits you on your way in. Oh wait- it's because someone got the tragic idea to put carnival food out for sale with no ventilation so you end up getting hit with a whiff of hours' old gross food. And it sticks to you all night, baby.

There is also no door check- anyone gets in regardless of how much effort they put into their attire and class. It also means little Johnny got drunk in his dorm beforehand and now wants to finish his night here in a drunken stupor. The door lady or guy? 'No problem so long as you pay your cover, youngin'! We don't discriminate based on age!'

Save your money on pricy drinks here and hit up your local campus party or throw your own. This place has had way too many chances to be given anything above two stars.

Here, you can... DANCE! That's right! The first floor has a great dance floor that you can tease those too shy to go upstairs to hit the real dance floor where the crowd is at the mercy of the amazing DJ. With an upstairs bar, there's never a need to go downstairs. Unless, of course, you're leaving... Can't wait to come back for some more wobbling!

Everyone's on the spectrum right? I'm definitely straight, but this is by far the best  place to go in albany to have a good time regardless of your- *ahem* "personal taste". It seems like everywhere you go in albany assholes come out in droves for the soul purpose of starting a fight or yelling "HEY BABAYY" to your girlfriend. This place has none of that bullshit. People are jjust here to have a good time. (period). The coat check is always super friendly and loves to make chit-chat. The karaoke is usually very eventful (expect to wait a good hour for your turn). The drinks are fairly priced. I patted a girl (girl?) on the ass upstairs almost got kicked out, BUT 5 minutes later i got another girl (girl!)'s number from downstairs. Its just that type of place where the unexpected happens.
