Armory Lounge NY
125 Washington Ave, Schenectady, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Schenectady's Armory building, this cafe pairs a comfortable, club-like atmosphere with genuinely warm service and an owner who'll happily share fascinating travel stories if you're lucky enough to catch him. While the menu leans toward traditional and specialty drinks rather than extensive options, the real draw is the unhurried vibe—perfect for lingering conversations and soaking in the fabulous ambiance, though it's worth noting the prices skew toward the premium side.”

The servers are always very pleasant and friendly. The prices are really high! For a "family friendly" place they're really price gouging!
I am writing strictly for the restaurant. The cafe at first was welcoming. Not many menu choices. Only one waitress working, but we were the only table the majority of the time. Overall it was about 45 minutes from when we ordered to when we received our food. The food itself was pretty subpar compared to the price. We also waited over a half hour after finishing to be told we had to check out at the bar (this could have been told much earlier, and saved a LOT of waiting). One other essential piece of information they dont mention....parties of 4 or more have an automatic 18% gratuity added to their bill....but the transaction also asks for a MINIMUM 20% tip. Take note. Dont bother. Go elsewhere.
Van Gogh exhibit was worth it
Comfortable club like bar for great conversations and drinks. Fabulous atmosphere and staff. If you are lucky, the owner will stop by and regale you with stories of his trips to Mongolia and the rain forests of Lithuania. I'm thinking of having my birthday party here since it's that kind of place.
