Beautiful atmosphere, great place in terms of appearance and presentation. Tonight was my first night there. I ordered some Bullitt whiskey for myself and a friend and another bar goer came up to me and told me not to order it in the future because the owner of the company beats his wife. All in a pretty condescending manner- I didn't know that, I just like whiskey. The bar goer said goodbye to the bartender by name, so I asked the bartender if she was a friend. She said yes, and I said that I thought that shaming me (or any customer) for my choice of liquor was inappropriate. The bartender responded in a way that defended her friend, but did not address my concern whatsoever. She dismissed me, belittled what I had to say, and continued with her work as if that wasn't a problem. I don't normally write reviews like this, but I felt it was inappropriate and worth the owner...

Since Mahar's closed, currently best beer bar in Capital District. Large, fine selection on tap from imported wheat to NYS's finest to best west coast hoppy favs to darks with plenty of powerful, big beers - can't go wrong. Yes, there are others with many fine taps - the Ruck in Troy, City Beer Hall downtown Albany, new World of Beer at the mall and new Beer Belly on New Scotland. There's a beer explosion in this sleepy, backwoods set of towns. Try them all. But we believe best selection is still Lionheart. Low prices during happy hours for these top shelf brews. Free popcorn. Big back room of darts, pool tables and sports screens. Nice long front bar has diverse crowd for good people watching. Crowded and loud on weekend nights. At quieter times, bring in your own jerk chicken from the wonderful Dutch Pot a few doors...
