About Druthers Brewing Company

This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Schenectady is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Schenectady is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Had lunch there yesterday. Taco plate and Nashville hot sandwich. We received a plate of chips and a very nice dill dipping sauce. That was the highlight. The entrees were a bit pricey and ok at best. The server got my order wring but I believe he herd me wrong. Maybe if he wrote down my order or repeated it to me it would be okay. He was rather upset about the mixup but did bring out the correct order but had to wait 5 mins to get ketchup and Salt and Pepper for the fries.(we got the bar tender to get us some.) We barely saw him again. The place was not busy as it was 2:30. We finally got the check and he disnt take off the pizza for $23.00 that was incorrect. No biggie he had the bartender remove it. Overall not impressed and will not be going back.

I can see why people are drawn to Druthers especially the one in Schenectady near the water. Itβs Gita good vibe that way. The drink o ordered was ok not as wonderful as the server made it out to be and the fish and chips was also just ok. Fish was kinda mushy the crispy on the outside was ok and the fries were good. I had to ask several times for a fork and water. Iβve been to other Druthers locations and this one was my least favorite.

Contemporary decor with upper level pub grub. Does flights. Unusual location that supposedly near the water. However itβs just a canal looking towards a mall / parking garage structure. Parking is plentiful but a little difficult to locate for newcomers.

My wife and I were traveling home through the Albany area and decided to stop in. Fantastic beers!! The food was very good and the bar tenders were extremely friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. The atmosphere is very inviting, as well. We left there feeling like we made some new friends and we are already planning a return visit.

Druthers Brewing Company in Schenectady, conveniently located near events held at M&T Bank Center, has some mighty fine brews on tap. The food is really good here too. Where I found issue was with the inattentive and slow bartender, and server, who spent a great amount of time conversing with each other. For food, I went with the Crispy Cheese Curds which had the perfect contrast of a crunchy outside texture and a soft and chewy inside, followed by the delicious Blackened Blade Swordfish Tacos. My favorite brew was the Scottish-Style 80 Shilling Ale. I would have liked to have had one more before heading to the arena but I was never approached to see if everything was okay or if I wanted anything else. All said, I would definitely come back again another time when Iβm at the arena, but if I had my druthers the service would be a little more attentive. Recommended.
