Reviews for C H Evans Brewing Co. at the Albany Pump Station in Albany, NY

Love this place! The whole building and ambiance is so unique and comfy. My husband and I were initially told it could be a... 30-45 minute wait so we got 2 bar seats to have some of their tasty beers. But we were surprised to get a table in less than 5minutes. All staff we encountered were friendly. I loved the poutine; battered fries can’t be beat. My husbands go to is thegobbler and he has never had a complaint. I went with the seafood Mac & cheese and was pleased with how much seafood it had.Lots of shrimp and plump scallops and unlike most macaroni and cheese, it reheated nicely. Definitely recommend it!

if i could give 0 stars i would! $110+ for THREE people?… maybe it would be slightly more acceptable if the food was good/good... quality… but we could tell everything was canned, jarred, or frozen… My turkey burger was disgusting & dry (In photoattached, turkey patty literally looks like dry bread). $18 for unedible nachos. Horrible service. Left feeling disappointed &still hungry due to not being able to keep eating the gross food! Read more

Food and Service was just awful. It was barely 5pm and the place was dead. Waitress (Reaghan) was MIA anytime we needed her. Did... not check on us if we needed another drink- my beer ran dry. My burger was supposed to be Medium (it was medium rare). Thenachos had some white cream that was supposedly cheese- but I suspect it was sour cream which I asked to be held. It did nottaste like cheese (maybe it was old?). Also, they used canned jalapeños and Tostitos jar salsa. Anyhow; the girls in there werewearing pajama bottoms/sweat pants and spandex.. if OSHA came around that’d be a violation. Just very off putting. Then to topit off.. I got a $2.25 surcharge added to both of our cards- WHICH WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED. Attempted to speak to managerand was left on hold and then hung up on. Very disappointed. Read more

Not to visit here means not to taste delicious beer and miss the atmospheric place. The staff is professional and customer... oriented. On the menu you will find, on the recommendation of the waiters, any drink to your taste. The food is traditionalbut excellently prepared. My surprise and admiration was caused by the dish “cauliflower wings. Try different variations. Itis highly recommended to take your favorite beer with you. It will be poured for you and packed in front of you. Dog friendly. Read more

Great space. Beautifully renovated pump house space with an open second floor mezzanine space. Creative food that meets... expectations of the menu. Although I didn't try their own home brewed beer, their drink menu was solid with options from a localCidery. Read more

All the servers were extremely friendly. I had the Vienna Lager beer with was great, & the Pastrami Kimchi Reuben sandwich which... was also good with a little spicy kick. Dining area in back, High tables by the bar & kitchen area. Also had upstairs seatingbut there was a party going on. Read more

This is a great brewery in the trendy warehouse district of Albany. The building is historic and they have lots of information... on its past through the inside along with having other really cool decor. The food was great here and is warm and pub style inflavor and portions. We had clean plates at the end. The real star of our experience was the beer (as it should be at anyrespectable brewery). What’s great about this place is that the service, beer, food and space is all excellent. I will be backagain for sure, this spot is a gem. Read more

Great experience 11/10 recommended if you love a good craft beer. I did a sample flight and even my least favorites were... delicious. The pump station burger was cooked to a perfect medium and the fries we equally crispy and fluffy. The service wasalso impeccable. If you find yourself in Albany, go check it out. Read more
