Backstage Pub And Grill - Schenectady

Stopped in for a cocktail. Local crowd but very welcoming. Bar staff were very accommodating.

Love this place Food was hot and delicious Mixed drinks just right There help was friendly, helpful Great place grab bite eat , atmosphere was cozy!

The food is always changing and it's great. I just wish they had beyond burgers and other veggie options. My meat eating friends really enjoy the other options. Sometimes they have vegetarian options and other times I am only able to get my usual (and amazing) poutine or another side.

I ate here a few years ago and it was great. I have tried to go back three times, including last night, and have been met with chaos and poor service leading us to go somewhere else every single time. There is no organization in terms of someone finding you a table. If staff put your name down, it would save some stress and we would’ve just sat at the bar a bit waiting. Instead, regulars/people who came after swiftly took tables that opened up. For a place so small, half the tables were reserved. I get taking reservations, but maybe do it on an online platform so I would’ve seen there was no availability ? Or thought to myself to make a reservation. Lastly, I have to sadly agree with one of the reviews below about the female bartender. She honestly was no help on multiple occasions and just wanted to continue talking to her friends. Hopefully I can actually eat here again one day as the food is amazing.

Great place for a pre-show casual dinner and drink. I was here on a Friday night right before Les Mis and got a seat at the bar right away. Nice selection of beers on tap, and the grilled cheese special was delicious.
