Wonderful first experience. Tucked away off of Madison Ave, it'd be hard to miss if it weren't for the huge beautiful mural on the one side of the building. Friendly, knowledgeable bartender and easy to talk to about the variety of meads available. I got a flight and loved the variety of flavors. They ranging from honey sweet, dry and spicy! Quiet metal music playing in the background added to the Viking/Grecian vibe. Cool to hear the history of the building. A great addition to the neighborhood. Looking forward to going back.
What a great place. On a whim we stopped there as we were curious about trying mead. We ended up playing the trivia that is there every Sunday and our team won and walked away with a bottle of mead. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Albany.
Very nice place to try some different kinds of mead. Very clean and staff very polite. Was my 1st time here. The bartender Ray was very helpful to tell me about all the different types of drinks. I must have tried 5 or 6 different types. There were two or three I really liked. I will be back to try some more again for sure.. nice to know that they have gluten free drinks for the people that can not have gluten.
Had a great visit here for the first time. Knowledgeable staff explained the whole process of making mead and walked us through a couple of flights. Be prepared, mead is fairly sweet tasting fermented honey, makes sense!. I absolutely loved their "genesis" and the mint chocolate chip flavor profiles. Not crowded, and I definitely took advantage of the unlimited fresh popcorn! Also had some local breweries on tap. Small and cozy atmosphere. Glad we came!
I love it here! The mead is delicious and they have a great selection of other libations. Customer service is awesome, Dan and Will are great. I highly recommend The Bull and Bee Meadery!
I've been looking forward to this establishment opening and I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly and pleasant, chatty without overstaying their welcome. The meads were delicious and varied, and the beers were local or regional. Seating inside was cozy but well-spaced, and outdoor seating was generous. The music ran a great playlist of new and classic rock; "Sympathy for the Devil" rolled as we soaked up the warm spring breeze on some robust metal chairs. Their were even some very diesel benches and stools along the building, trying to maximize the space. Street parking was ample, just pull around the corner and sidle along the curb, but watch the cobblestones if you're sporting heels. Their house mead, "The Muse," was light and sweet, a glass of afternoon sunshine offering a floral bouquet with hints of licorice, reminiscent of Sambuca. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Overall, the ambiance here is casual and secluded-- great for a date where you've lost three hours chatting before you even realize it. It's a treasure in the downtown space that I hope we get to enjoy for years to come. Why not go buy drink and help make sure that happens.
Great wee place and Ray and the lads are wonderful. A must if in Albany.. Great people and Mead. Excellent beer selection too. Highly recommend. From Galway, Ireland.
My wife and I stopped in on an unusually hot afternoon. The spot was cool, inviting and the meads were very tasty! Ray was working the bar and extremely helpful and informative. Not only did he explain the mead varieties and ingredients very well, but he was also knowledgeable about the local beer selections they offered, many of which are available in cans from the cooler. Overall it was a little gem of a find and we will recommend it to our friends and family when they visit Albany. I recommend stopping by to all others as well.
Excellent mead and great flight deal for $10! Bar tender was also awesome and they have board games available too. Keep in mind they have no food options in house, although you can order in through a neighboring restaurant.
Legitimately my favorite place in downtown Albany. Cannot recommend their selections of Meads and New York State adult beverages enough, and the staff is amazing!
