The City Beer Hall

We arrived in Albany on a Sunday to find that restaurants in town were generally closed, however we discovered The City Beer Hall and fell in love with it immediately. In fact we had such a wonderful meal we returned on the following evening as well. The menu was perfect and catered for my wife who was gluten intolerant with a number of offerings on the menu. Our choice of drinks was well catered for as well. We loved the burgers and the peach salad we shared was perfect. We can highly recommend this wonderful that is housed in the historic old telephone company building. It was such a friendly space to dine. Most importantly for us when we are going out is the service and care of the wait staff. We were absolutely blessed by having the gorgeous Katrina, look after us on both nights we visited for dinner. In fact it was her warmth and hospitality that made our return so easy. Katrina explained the options available and too, extra care to make sure my wife’s gluten allergy was understood in the kitchen. We loved both our visits and would return in a heart beat should we ever revisit Albany.

The brunch was very good and the free cocktails was a nice touch; however, one star off bc there was not a gluten free bread option for those with actual gluten allergies.
