We had our post-elopement "party" at Albany Distilling Company and could not have been happier with our decision! Natalie (the bar manager) went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was absolutely perfect. She really went the extra mile from the custom drinks, to the easy communication, to seeing our vision through. She is the best! All of our guests (130~ people) RAVED about how great the cocktails were and how kind and QUICK the bar staff was. The space itself is a great background and we spiced it up with some amazing decor from The Balloonary and florals that we put together ourself.

Live music - great set-up. Rustic bar atmosphere. It couldn't have been better. People worry about parking on street - wasn't an issue at...
