“This place is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!The selection is superb, the freshness of their stock, the staff everything is everything you are looking for a neighborhood cheese shop.The cured meats section is nothing so miss either.Prepare to spend at least 30/40 to leave with a full bag but that’s not always the case as it’s all fairly priced.I moved to the area recently and places like this making me feel more than at home.Albany is blessed to have this place!”

“When I moved to the Albany area from Dutchess County, I knew one of the places I would miss the most was Half Time. This store took care of any angst I might have had. The selection is almost as good overall, and better when you take into consideration all of the New York State beers available, especially upstate (I had no idea there were so many new breweries in the Glens Falls area, for example). It's very well organized as well. Whenever my beer-enjoying friends are in the area, this is a must-stop.”

“This is a great liquor store with very knowledgeable staff/ owners. If you are looking for hard to find Bourbons and Whiskey's this is the place for you. They have an outstanding selection of Blanton's many of which are not sold in the US. Prices are competitive and service is great!. If you like spirits or are into designer bottles, then do not miss shopping at this location.”

“Oliver's Beverage in Albany is an in-the-know type booze and wine store. It's best in the summer. The shelves are expertly marked by region and by category. Find German beer, soda, small bottle shooters, whiskey cask beer, French wines, Italian whites, 6 packs, singles and even a fountain (that I have not tried out yet) to fill beer-growlers with that good Winter Lager or IPA. It's a very large shop and it would be nice if there were (it's a Yelp tip Oliver's..) a place for pregnant moms and old folks to sit: inside or outside. The prices are a bit on the higher end but you find oddities and some nifty finds, only here. Pretty good assortment. Review: 5”

“Pint Sized in Albany gives off such a hipster vibe, and I absolutely love it! The beer selection is fantastic, and the customer service is top-notch. Overall, it was a great experience!Located conveniently in the heart of Albany's Center Square neighborhood, this is the first Pint Sized location. Whether you live nearby or are just visiting, it's the perfect spot to grab a growler or mix-four pack and enjoy your favorite craft brews on the stoop or at the bar in their historic space. The patio seating offers a charming ambiance, allowing you to soak in the lively atmosphere of the "Greenwich Village" of the Capital Region.Some favorite activities in the area include enjoying Washington Park (with a beer, of course), grabbing a latte from Stacks, attending free concert series like LarkFest, Art on Lark, Tulip Festival, and Alive at Five, indulging in smash burgers from Herbies, and exploring the Empire State Plaza. Don't forget to check out their Untappd for real-time updates on the draft list and weekly updates on the can selection. Cheers to a fantastic spot in Albany!”

“BoozyMoo at the yard is absolutely amazing! I love that they have a couple of regular flavors, and then have a rotating list of others. My current favorite is the Peanut Butter Bomb! It was absolutely delicious. The booze is already infused and it is everything and more!”

“The best liquor store in the Capital District.The outside looks shabby ( it's going to be updated soon) but the inside is great. Stop in and say hello to Thapa behind the counter. Tell him Mike sent you. Great selection. Excellent prices. Look for the flashing arrow on Central Ave. near Osborn.”

“A nice little wine shop with a great selection of wines! The selection isn’t huge but they make up for that in the quality of what they sell. I don’t know much about wine, so I pick my usual price point, location of the vineyard and then pick whatever bottle looks the coolest. So far I haven’t been disappointed using this process here! The staff is also always friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend”

“I actually stopped by the Chinese restaurant across the street as i used to live in the neighborhood about six years ago. I noticed thru the window the same owner and quickly remembered how nice and sweet she always was. Although it was a bit of a tough neighborhood st times she always maintained her sweetness. With that I ran in and made a purchase. It was such a surprise that she and her now worker remembered me!!!”

“With a location convenient to the everyday traveler and one of the largest selections I have ever seen I highly recommend to any one living close by to purchase here instead of traveling a further distance to something more familiar.Since they in fact have most of if not all common varieties and some rare of liquors and wines.Vodka, gin, baijiu, tequila, rum, whisky, brandy, singani and soju are examples of distilled drinks that are here. Wine and cider are examples of fermented drinks that can also be found at this location.”

“Visited this location on 6/12/2020 (during COVID19) everyone lines up outside and one by one you step inside surrounded by this plexi glass...the store associate asks you what you would like...rings it up...and you open up this little door to give her your cash or credit/debit card. I didn't think to take pictures but this is the current process while Coronavirus is going around. They have many varieties and also sell a light fruity drink called Stella Rosa! Ladies, you will like Stella Rosa! Go check it out! It cost $12.95 per bottle.”

“A bit of a drive for me, but worth it for the selection. The prices are good and they're the only place I've found "locally" that has any kind of sherry selection. Great for classic cocktail enthusiasts....”

“This is a great neighborhood shop, very impressed with what they have done with the place. Nice selection/assortment for the space. I appreciate that they carry a number of local and NYS based spirits. As an added perk - if they don't carry what you are looking for, just let the staff know and they will do everything they can to stock it for you.”

“Nice customer service. They have a rum that I like that I can't find in other liquor stores, Palo Viejo. A little on the expensive side. Other than that I enjoyed shopping here.”

“Sat outside for a meal and a few drinks. They serve the best cider on tap I have to say. Had a meatball parm and fried pickles, all of which was good. But the server/bartender was so nice, friendly and helpful that she definitely assured my return next time I’m in Albany.”

“I love this place. Small, cute, and the people working the front are always super kind and knowledgeable. Have come in here on a mission for a certain bottle and received quick guidance to get in and out when I wanted. I have also stumbled in after a visit to graney's next door requesting suggestions and was greeted with pointed questions and great suggestions to help me find what I wanted. There are places that are cheaper, to be sure, but I love the service and the great vibe I get in here when I want something closer to home. Highly recommend!”

“Great local spot. You can tell by the busy parking lot that this place is very popular. I was in town for two days and ate there both nights.Bar service was outstanding. Both Shawn and Matt were very attentive to every patron and I could tell really cared about their job. Something that's really missing in today's service industry.I had their bone-in wings (Everything and Garlic Parm). Some of the best I've ever had no joke. They're baked, then flash fried. Perfect bite.I'm convinced this will be my place to go every time I'm in Albany.Keep up the great work guys!”
