Our Guestbook
“ Food was great, flavorful and hot when served. Service was quick. The waitress was very helpful. Just a chilled laid back place to grab a bite, watch a game and catch up with family & friends. ”
“ Last time I posted a review for 151 was five years ago but rating and comments are still the same as they were then. They have made minor changes to their name. Menu is larger but still amazing extra crispy parm garlic wings. Tried a Calzone and it was amazing to. Dough was light and we end up using the extra parm garlic sauce rather than the red sauce to dip calzone in. Food was amazing and tasty. It was nice coming back as it has probably been a year since our last stop at 151. Great sports bar with amazing food. I have to say they still have the best wings hands down. Never disappoints. ”
“ Popped in for a nightcap after leaving the casino. They have a large garage door type indoor/outdoor environment for nicer summer weather which was cool. A double knob creek for $10 was awesome, maybe it's the area but at home in NJ that would be $15-20 so I appreciate the solid prices. Seemed like there were a good amount of people here as they were closing up on a Friday night. Bartender was very nice & quick with service. Def recommend stopping in for a drink. ”
“ Nice spot in Schenectady for the bar or to sit down for food. The pizza was decent! My favorite part is the patio, except for the country music. ”
“ This place is super spacious with plenty of bar space and many table options for decent-sized groups both inside and outside. The draft list was full of local brewery Frog Alley options (including two sours! SWEET!) with a nice variety of cans and bottles, including ciders and seltzers, too. The speciality cocktail menu was a hit for summer-drink fans and it was a nice touch that ice waters were delivered when our waitstaff first approached us sitting on the ledge bar outside [it was a seat-yourself situation] on a Saturday evening. Our server was attentive and friendly, and clarified things as we placed our orders to make sure they were placed correctly and we were incredibly happy with our visit. [spoiler alert: we were!] We shared the pigs in a blanket featuring perfectly salty pretzel dough wrappers and wonderful whole grain mustard - we added a side of honey mustard dip which was also delicious. These were especially wonderful paired with the watermelon sour beer I enjoyed. Not in the mood for sandwiches or burgers, we ordered another appetizer and a salad. The piggy tots were topped with SUPER DUPER bbq pulled pork and melty cheese. The croutons on the grilled chicken ceasar salad were especially flavorful. The salad is served dressed by the kitchen, but was not overdressed, which is often a complaint I have when ordering pre-dressed salads. The chicken ceaser salad WAS nice, but my eyes grew large watching lots of other salad options walk by us to make their way to other tables. Our waitress later tipped us off that the plates we had most often stared at longingly were the caprese salad topped with grilled or blackened chicken. I know what we'll be trying next time! The shoestring fries and various pizzas also looked amazing when they were walking by to be served. I have a feeling this spot may become a regular in rotation soon. ”
