The Horses Lounge - Schenectady

This is my favorite bar! Not only do they have great beers on tap they have the best food. You can tell that they put a lot of time and effort into their unique and delicious food and drink creations. Their wings, tacos on taco Tuesday, and tots inventions are amazing. The owner and staff are super friendly and will always take time to chat and ask how everything is. This is our go-to place when we want to get out a have a beer and delicious food. We know we’ll never be disappointed!

Was finally able to try out this local bar in Schenectady. First impressions of the place gives off a warm and welcoming vibe. Friendly wait staff and awesome bartenders led to a great experience. First ordered a couple of drinks and they have a wide variety of craft and locally brewed beers in New York. Started it off with two appetizers one was loaded tater tots with homemade chili, sour cream and cheddar cheese. For such a simple appetizer it was very good the chili was not heavy and tater tots had the perfect crisp. The other appetizer we ordered was the Chicago style hot dog which was a nice sized all beef hot dog with the fixings from Chicago and they pulled it off well. We kept our dinners light and ordered two dozen wings which one dozen included salt vinegar and dill seasoning which I've never seen before and the execution was phenomenal. The fact that they kept the wing so crispy but also giving a great vinegar taste truly left be coming back for more. The other dozen wings were everything bagel seasoning. The wing was coated in a honey garlic sauce so that the everything bagel seasoning could stick to it but the seasoning that they used was an amped up version of everything bagel seasoning that you would get from the store. Definitely recommend if you want to try something different. The cherry on top of the entire night was ordering the Clydesdale Clucker to go. It is a specialty burger that could be described as massive meets elegant. It is a combination of a flame grilled burger with a chicken patty tossed in buffalo sauce on a brioche bun with blue cheese. I ate half of it when I got home and my fiance ate the other half and I can see why the owner wanted me to try this as I was left speechless. Hats off to the owner, wait staff and the kitchen for producing an exceptional experience and I will definitely be recommending this to all my family and friends as a stop to eat in Schenectady.

We've been there twice and plan returning. They are very friendly and accommodating. Each time we tried a different version of their wings and were impressed. They also have plenty of other food to offer at competitive prices. Give them a try. Oh yea, they have beer from local breweries.

Amazing food, the best staff and the drinks speak for themselves!! This is now our neighborhood go-to!! Do yourself a favor and check them out!

I only remembered to snap a photo of the new special dessert pretzels that our waiter kindly offered to us for free, but we also tried the peach margarita, fried ravioli, pickle coins, Chicago dog, French fries, chicken Parm sandwich, and boneless honey garlic wings. Everything we tasted was amazing! We definitely recommend this place! I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the prices were, and the waitstaff was extremely friendly! Plus, we received a complimentary sample of their truffle sauce for our fries, which was excellent too!
