OH Bar

This bartender (pictured) is absolutely trashy and a piss poor crew member.Walked into this dead bar with my friend (black females) before another patron, bartender left from behind the bar, came back and chose to service the person that walked in before us (a white gentleman). The bartender had a poor attitude and would not meet us where we’re at, near the end of the bar where there was space for us to stand and place our order. In the 45 seconds we were in there I’ve never gotten so pissed off so quickly before.Realistically their drinks are hit or miss and not that great. All the bartenders there lack consistency across the board when it comes to making simple cocktails.

Every bartender is chill, good music, great drinks, lovely patio space! Open in the afternoon so I have somewhere to chill and have a drink outside, open late nights so I can dance, sing, and party. Pool table and darts as a bonus. A staple on Lark street for sure!

I have only just started going to OH Bar, after hearing good things about it for many years.I cannot recommend a more safe environment for all types of people to have a few drinks, and a good time.The Bartenders are excellent and I look forward to going back!

Safe place. You tell what you need and dont worry. It doesnt matter who you or the servers are. You are safe. This is the best spot I found for literally no questions asked, this is the, if you need something this is where you need, you go, I have ever found. The owners should be proud of the environment of safety that there is here

I came on Sat night. It was hopping after 1 AM. Mixed crowd. Bartenders were cool. Fun place. No popcorn is 4 stars haha.

Friday 11/12/21. New bartender with the collar is a complete jack#€^. I hope he eventually ends up happy with life and pours correctly with a smile. Zero stars!He openly makes fun of guests and thinks we all owe him for his presence. His taller Partner in crime isn’t much better, condoning his awful behavior and laughing with him.The shorter guy with the cool haircut is welcoming, faster and he smiles. Thanks for saving my night bruh. 😎

My kind of place! Everyone is happy they are there. Bartender takes care of you. What more does one need?

The atmosphere here is amazing. I love this place. Open until 4, thats a dream. Only place in Albany thats open late with great service. Kyle, the bartender, lightning quick. Its like Usain Bolt served me a drink. Great guy to talk to too. Always bring the energy and love. I have 3 homes. My college apartment, my actual home with my parents, and Oh Bar. All the bartenders are amazing. Closets thing to perfection in Albany.

Much love for Oh Bar. Its a mid-sized gay bar that hosts events like karaoke, trivia, etc. Not a dance place, just a spot to get a decent drink, hang out, and maybe play pool. In summer their patio in back is nice. Folks are welcoming there and the bartenders work to keep it a safe space. Ive seen folks too drunk/rowdy/harassing be asked to leave. On weekends it gets pretty packed, but has more of an older crowded than Rocks or Waterworks which are more dance spots with college students packed in

Big Will the bouncer said I needed to give him a hug before I went in. I am completely disgusted and I will not be returning to OH bar. Me and my girlfriend felt violated and my girlfriend said she doesnt feel comfortable hugging people in exchange for getting in a bar.

Never went into this bar ,and just rebuilt a bar on lark . But Id like to say as I was driving by had some young girls yell to me some ridiculous comments that where standing in front smoking . Gave the bar 5stars to respect what Ive heard about on news . But might be a good idea to have some security outside like bombers does to control the people . If your a patron at a bar would be nice to show some class . No opinion about the bar itself .

Im sad to give this kind of review for an otherwise interesting fun bar, the guy who works Tuesdays and Sundays I guess was already tense and keyed up about something, he seemed ok serving and tried to be pleasant at first but I can only guess it had been a bad day for him already because noticing a beer sitting for quite a while, I knew if I tasted it, knowing I was of course planning to make all reparations, the beer was likely to be dull and flat after sitting there all that time, which it was, at this point wanting to replace it with a fresh cold beer if or when the patron who left it there came back. I offered to buy a fresh cold beer for whoever left it there and pay for everything else beside planning to stay longer purchasing more for myself; I rarely see the habit in a bartender to not only take his apparent misery out on a customer but refuse purchases, but the bartender refused my money and let rip with one of the worst, nasty tirades I have ever been unfortunate to be at the receiving end of as a customer. I feel bad for the guy cause we all have bad days and I sympathize with him in that respect; stress gets to all of us sometimes and I hope whatever it was gets better for him, but to take it out on me and refuse my spending more money has unfortunately left me with really nasty memory for the bar and I will probably spend my money elsewhere. I hope no one else ever finds themselves at the other end of such an unpleasant experience.Please dont not go there because of my experience, otherwise it is a fun place and interesting patrons. I say it is worth a try for you, Maybe just be aware of the mood of the bartender and tread lightly.

Extremely overpriced!!!! The drinks were weak and very expensive! Sad that greedy owners push customers away. This was an amazing place years ago. Sad Sad

Great little place! Really friendly staff and good drinks. Theyve got a pool table and free popcorn and usually arent too packed. Good option for a mellow night out (although it can get packed towards the end of the week).

Went to Oh! Bar while in Albany. As I attempted to go in there was a guy being dragged out throwing up drunk. The worker and said person’s friend were arguing with each other. Went in and to the bar. Waited for several minutes before a bar tender even showed up and then was ignored and passed over several times. Don’t know if I’ll try again or not. Disappointed since this was my first LGBT business experience in the city.

The only reason I ever come to OH bar is to see the most fabulous JOSH! He is by far the most attentive, courteous, kind bartender I have encountered! #joshisthebest

Manager was beyond rude !!!! Bouncer said my ID was fake and began bending my ID instead of using the proper tools to look up my ID to see that it is INDEED REAL!!!! I let the manager know and he kicks me out because his bouncer cant do his actual job! I travel all over the US and other countries due to my job and never received this type of customer service!!! If youre so concerned about fake IDs then invest in ID scanners for your establishment instead of hiring ignorant bouncers who have never been outside of Albany !

Great Atmosphere! Great Drinks! A crowd that can stimulate whatever your mood maybe ... or change it if necessary 😉. An absolute face!

Bartender was great and put up the with shenanigans of our large group that came in. Small, fun, laid back bar with pool table and outdoor seating area.

Friendly service, cool environment!

The environment is nice. However, the bartender wasn’t friendly. Very rude.

Not friendly towards disabilities and were talking about a man with one hand. Made me very uncomfortable.

Josh is the best bartender

When i came in the owner hit me with a hammer and set me on fire

Always a pleasant place it also has a fabulous beautiful deck

Miss and love this place .great people great drinks great time !

Love this place! Great drinks and great vibes!

Best patio in Albany, hands down.

Great local place with good music.

A nice small more classy alternative bar

Great outdoor seating area.

Best place to be to be yourself and have fun!

Super sad crowd + inexplicably sadder music
