The City Beer Hall

What an amazing place. I figured out the cider I could drink, wasn't labeled but fine, we have phones. Gluten free bun was great, great burger. That the guy who served me made it a point to make sure I didn't have the chips due to cross contamination was amazing. Every little bit helps. But this says nothing of just how cool it looks inside. You'd think it was a reclaimed mill or maybe a bar that's been there for centuries. If you are in the area, you should try it. My gf had a normal chicken sandwich and she was in love with, the chips, and definitely the beer she had. Please come here, its great

We came for lunch so it wasn't that busy. S.O. has Celiac. Waiter wasn't incredibly knowledgable about what drinks were safe, but the cook nailed the food. His burger was brought out without chips (which I could have and were some of the best I've eaten) because they do not have a dedicated fryer. Great food and atmosphere. Everyone was very nice.

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.
