Gay Albany: Lark Street charm
New York's state capitol, Albany, is at the heart of the gay-friendly upstate New York. This area is full of small gay bedroom communities like Hudson, Saratoga Springs and Troy. Though it has a small town feel, the Capitol District is home to an open-minded population, partly due to the thriving art scene and local... More

Bars & Clubs in AlbanyGo with friends.Oh bar is a small little bar that seems to draw a clique and always has. I don't know most of the bar tenders but Stephen and Victoria are the best! They have thursday night karaoke and a great patio! Other than karaoke this bar really never does anything as far as entertainment. I have nothing horrible to say about the place. The negatives are - it's small, there's just not a lot of atmosphere, the videos dont go with the music and you can't use a credit card. The Positives are the staff is friendly, its a good place to stop in for a drink before you hit the clubs and the prices are reasonable. Would I recoomend going? Sure. Would I plan on going for an entire night? No. It's on lark which is gay friendly and a 10-15 minute walk to Rocks and Waterworks which are the clubs. It's Albany so you may want to cab it for $6. .

Bars & Clubs in AlbanyCafe Hollywood isn't a gay barI'm not sure why this is listed as a gay bar. It's on lark street which is a gay friendly part of the city but cafe hollywood is definitely not a gay bar. I'm not going to give the place a bad review but its not the best bar to go to. At the same time if you're there during the summer you should definitely stop in and have a drink on their AMAZING patio which is through the bar and out back. They also serve food. Sadly they close the patio at 11 PM. Lisa is very friendly :)

Bars & Clubs in AlbanyAnother bad review from testeralb, SHOCKING... go to rocks!Rocks is geared toward a mixed crowd but does get an older happy hour crowd. They have a fun friday night and mixed dj's on a saturday night. The crowd is again mixed. They do host a bear night every other month. They have a variety night on wednesday, therapy thursday every other thursday (check their schedule on facebook - search therapy thursday!), underwear boys on friday happy hour, ladies happy hour in the club, Friday night youll find anything from themes to money falling from the ceiling! They do a lot of drink and shot specials as well. Sometimes theyll have food on a sunday around 6 pm for the happy hour crowd and David the bartender is always entertaining. It's across the street from waterworks so definitely check out both bars. These are the only two gay clubs in albany (at the time of this review). There is one other bar called Oh Bar which is on lark street. Its small but they do have a pool table and really nice patio. The bartenders are friendly but the crowd can be very "clique-y".
