Backstage Pub - Schenectady (NY)

4 /5 Kristen Kiehart: I’ve had many friends tell me how much they love backstage pub so of course I needed to make a point to try it myself. My husband and I stopped in on Black Friday. The bar was full but there were some open tables. The bartender was quick is welcoming us and another server was fast to come to the table and get drink orders. Here is what we ordered: All American Thigh: fried chicken thigh, American cheese, bacon, hot pickles, honey mustard on brioche Backstage Burger: bacon jam and BSP sauce. Farm fresh from highland hollow, Schoharie, NY Chicken Wings w spicy caramel bacon bourbon sauce Espresso Martini Pork Belly Brussel Sprouts: shaved brussel sprouts sautéed with pork belly, garlic, strawberries, walnuts with maple sriracha drizzle. Only things that were a little miss was the chicken wings while a good size could have been crispier for my preference and the chicken for my sandwich could have been seasoned more. I would definitely go back though, my husband loved his burger and was very impressed with their bourbon selection. I also loved the sauce we got on the chicken wings, it was sweet with a little heat.

5 /5 Dakota Stoutenger: Woah, thats the word that covers everything about this place. The food is phenomenal- fresh, tasty, and flavorful. Great selection of draft beers and house cocktails (all well-priced). Staff is super friendly and doesnt miss a beat. Easily the best food in Schenectady!

5 /5 Steven Zamora: The philly cheese? Superb. The quick and consistent attention from ALL of the staff? Unprecedented. The warm sense of friendliness and community while surrounded by unfamiliar faces? Ineffable. Will become a regular.

All the great reviews about this place are legitimate. The Backstage Pub is definitely a must visit a restaurant in the Schenectady area of New York!
