Druthers Brewing Company

Druthers Brewing Company in Schenectady, conveniently located near events held at M&T Bank Center, has some mighty fine brews on tap. The food is really good here too. Where I found issue was with the inattentive and slow bartender, and server, who spent a great amount of time conversing with each other. For food, I went with the Crispy Cheese Curds which had the perfect contrast of a crunchy outside texture and a soft and chewy inside, followed by the delicious Blackened Blade Swordfish Tacos. My favorite brew was the Scottish-Style 80 Shilling Ale. I would have liked to have had one more before heading to the arena but I was never approached to see if everything was okay or if I wanted anything else. All said, I would definitely come back again another time when I’m at the arena, but if

My wife and I were traveling home through the Albany area and decided to stop in. Fantastic beers!! The food was very good and the bar tenders were extremely friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. The atmosphere is very inviting, as well. We left there feeling like we made some new friends and we are already planning a return visit.

Great outside patio, large and good ambiance. Good service, our waitress was attentive and friendly. Burger was good according to my son. Waffle nachos also were also good but missing the cheesy aspect. My daughter said the wings were decent. Milkshakes kinda thin, but still good. The main issue was with the salmon Caesar salad and the shrimp scampi. The salad was pretty good, i liked the grapes. But the salmon was just completely sad and flavorless. Like they pulled it out the freezer, flash fried it and threw it on top of the salad. No salt. No lemon. Butter. Nothing. Same with the shrimp scampi, what a disgrace just take it off the menu if you're not going to even attempt to make it properly. Gross. And the nerve to charge 25 bux. No bread or anything, lol. $25? We would have requeste

Druthers in Schenectady is definitely in a convenient location and has an easygoing bar-and-grill vibe that feels cute and welcoming. The menu is on the shorter side, which I actually appreciate...it feels intentional, like they’re focusing on doing a few things well rather than stretching too far. The bar menu, especially the beer selection, is excellent. If you’re there for drinks, it’s a great spot. They only offer about three mocktails, which could use some expansion, but honestly, just having mocktail options at all is a win in my book. Service was great on our first visit. On our second visit, about two weeks later, it could have used some improvement. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy, and it felt like we may have been forgotten at times. That said, the food has been consistently

Druthers is an exceptional local brewery chain, serving up delicious food and a wide variety of drinks. I had the fried chicken sandwich, which was one of the best I've ever had. Along with the Big Mac Mac Balls, my meal was very good. My waitress, Ashley, provided great service as well. But you can't forget about their milkshakes, which of course are just as good as the food. This specific location is located conveniently in a plaza with plenty of parking. If you're looking for a delicious meal or a drink, Druthers is the place to come!
