“ First things first....Hat off to the chef.... Also great vibes every time Great location and environment All flavors of wings are mouth watering ”

“ We wanted a pub vibe and to avoid any Halloween shenanigans. The place wasn't crowded or loud, so perfect for our needs. Surprisingly no light beer on tap but there's an outside seating area. ”

“ Awesome spot! Spent the last two days here.. cool vibe and the food is very good! Thanks for an enjoyable weekend! ”

It's clear the staff knows how to run a proper pub. If you're looking for an authentic Irish pub experience in Albany without any gimmicks, McGeary's fits the bill perfectly. It's the kind of comfortable, dependable spot that becomes your regular haunt - no surprises, just a solid pub doing what it does best. ”

“ Staying at the Hyatt Place near by this bar while on a road trip with my friends - we came and got apps and drinks. The apps are 10/10 and so were the drinks! Prices are great as well - we got mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, fries, and wings. They were all delicious. The service was also wonderful! The waitress was super friendly and attentive. She even recommended other bars for us to check out after we ate. We also sat outside and got super lucky because they had a band playing. They played classics and jazz, and many people were dancing. Overall I would absolutely recommend this place! I hope to be back one day. ”

“ McGeary's has been an Albany staple for many long years. It is the go-to hangout after work or for a night out on the town. The atmosphere is great and so is the service. I ordered the artichoke dip and black and blue burger with fries. The food is very good. Nothing super fancy on the menu, but they do a great job with what they have. If you are a vegan, they offer beyond burger options for your sandwich. McGearys also has a very good selection of beer and drinks on their menu. ”

“ Albany is a ghost town on Sunday's. If it wasnt for McGeary's, im not sure what I would have done for food, as it seemed that there was only one other restaurant open, that I wasnt interested in. So, thank you, McGeary's for being open. A lot of items on the menu, but I saw something different, and that was the Chicken Cordon Bleu Balls (yep, cue the jokes). I figured I would give these a shot. I also ordered some chili, that came with tortilla chips. The chili was meaty, not as thick as I would like, and not as hot as it should be, temperature wise. But, it still had a good taste. The blue balls were pretty good, filled with cheese and ham. These were cooked perfectly. They come with some mustard for dipping. The mustard they use really didnt fit these. I definitely would use a dijon mustard. OVerall, it was a good experience. Didnt see any sheppard's pie on the menu, though. Oh well. ”

“ If you are staying in one of the hotels in downtown Albany, McGeary's needs to be on your List. Danielle, Gabby, Shane, and the test of the crew treat you like a local from your first visit. There is a good mix of locals and visitors, but many of us are repeat customers. McGeary's hosts local events, but they take care of their customers at the same time. The menu is good and very broad for a pub with an Irish name. The beer list is also strong. Let's just admit that we all lowered our expectations for service and menu over the last few years. McGeary's still exceeds my pre-pandemic expectations for an Irish pub. That's saying something ... ”
