What Ashlee Duclos likes about Albany Ale And Oyster:
I haven't been out to eat with a friend since before Covid started so I was looking forward to going and it did not disappoint! We were able to get a table outside on this nice sunny day.

What aimee coffin doesn't like about Albany Ale And Oyster:
To be fair it is called Albany ALE and Oyster, but the Rita was watery as was the martini. My husband did have a delicious Imperial Stout (11% abv! Beautiful to look at and yummy to taste. Food....meh. Fun to watch passerbys. View all feedback.

Fresh and tasty $1 oysters, above average (think gastropub) food, and what is likely the best beer list in the Capitol Region. What's not to like?
