Great neighborhood LGBT and everybody friendly bar reasonable prices beautiful patio always a good time
Much love for Oh Bar. It's 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. I've 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
Always a pleasant place it also has a fabulous beautiful deck
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 you're so concerned about fake ID's then invest in ID scanners for your establishment instead of hiring ignorant bouncers who have never been outside of Albany !
Please don't 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.
I'm 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.
