Savoy Taproom in Albany

Having first visited Savoy Taproom a few months back, I knew my husband would enjoy it as he was looking to try some place new for dinner last evening.Their website is straightforward in stating they require vaccination cards and they mean it too. We like that. If you don't, there are plenty of other options in town.Continuing on the safety-first journey, you'll find they don't offer menus and instead point you to their website which is easy to navigate. (rom what I saw, all staff wore masks and they wore them properly - over the nose.We started our evening with a Tito's Vodka Martini and their current Old Fashioned: Saintly Daddy. Simple said about the martini: they pour a good one.T he Old Fashioned was bright, warm and refreshing on a cold winter night. With a hint of pear and the aroma of the dried orange crisp, I had to have two.For starters, we ordered their Poached Pear Salad and the Crispy Cauliflower. Both were quite unique with the pear salad being on the lighter, sweet, and savory side. The cauliflower, having been fried, is a heartier salad with small bits of pickle providing a bright pop. Both were winners!While we hoped to order the Flat Iron steak, it wasn't being offered at the time. (We look forward to trying that in the future!) Instead, I ordered the Mississipp...

the waiter was super attentive! overheard my preference for bbq sauce and delivered without me requesting it! however, my steak was cooked well done when I requested medium well. Will just request medium next time. finished the fries the next day at work, and they actually heated well and smelled great. all the office ladies wanted to know where the fries were from!

The Savoy Tap Room is a lovely and comfortable gem. The staff are all very friendly and playful. The vibe is sort of a throw back to older days in that the décor is dark wood while the space is aptly lit and cozy. The food is very good and they offer enough choices to satisfy any appetite. Mixology is definitely practiced here and they off a decent selection of adult beverages to imbibe. If you haven't been get yourself there for the comfy and delicious experience!
