Pam’s Pub

Great spot. Honestly not the most amazing, glamorous bar but the bartenders are attentive and friendly. Older crowd, for sure, but a good cast of characters. The hawg wings are the real deal. Get them with the hot barbecue sauce.

Kind of depressing… dark, kind of dreary and solemn. Definitely not a place for someone under 60.

I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon during NFL football after reading some good reviews. The sliders were on special so I ordered them and was very pleased. Emily was the bartender and she was awesome!!! A real sweetheart that was so happy I enjoyed the sliders. The other bartender was also very nice — definitely coming back!!!

Some friends had recently discovered Pam’s and suggested it would be a great place for us to meet with them some evening. After all, it just so happens to be our closest neighborhood watering hole. We had been there once before, maybe about 20 years ago and never returned. It’s not that there was any problem with that first visit, it just didn’t seem to offer something that called out for us to return sooner. Since it seemed like a second visit probably was in order, off we went on a Friday evening to reacquaint ourselves with Pam’s.
The place was almost filled, both at the bar and the tables. Live music was being performed by a guitar-​playing singer who was mostly ignored by the crowd. The three remaining tables that were available were all in front of the performer and his amplified equipment. We thought the table furthest from the speakers would be inappropriate for the two of us to occupy since it could easily seat eight, so we chose the next furthest table from the speakers, a four-​top. Yes, the music was loud but we were still able to carry on a conversation. There were several TVs scattered around the walls, but it appeared there was no real interest by the 40+year-old customers in either the Yankee/​Red Sox game or The O’Reilly Factor.
While there appeared to be only two ladies covering both the bar and the tables, we were acknowledged in less than five minutes, informed of the beers on tap, the most exotic being two Sam Adams brews, and provided with menus. Our two pints of Sam’s Summer Ale ($ 4.25 each) arrived quickly and we placed our order for Loaded Nachos ($ 11.95) and a Burger with cheese and an upgrade to Sweet Potato Fries ($ 10.50).
The food was delivered to our table in a reasonably prompt fashion. The Nachos had very little flavor, in spite of the melted cheese, diced peppers, tomatoes, onions, chile, and jalapeño slices. The chips were typically salty and the sides of salsa and sour cream did nothing to add flavor. The half-​pound burger was served as requested, medium-​rare, and had a reasonable char flavor on the outside, but the beef itself had no noticeable flavor. It lacked juiciness for this degree of rareness, but benefited from the melted cheddar cheese on top. The roll was soft and fresh, and the sweet potato fries were typical frozen fries and only warm when they arrived on the table. By comparison, an order of regular French Fries left in error at our table were nice and hot. A small plastic container of nondescript macaroni salad was also served as a side to the burger.
Service was friendly and efficient considering the number of customers per server. The performer wished us a «good-​night» as we departed. If our friends get around to deciding on a night to meet them there, we’ll likely join them for a drink and maybe try something else on the menu. Otherwise, it may be another 20 years before we return.

Wings are real good. Bar Tender very friendly and eager to please! Went here when Panchos was closed one week and had a great time! Quick Draw and Cold Beer on a hot day. Bar Tender was full of tattoos and Smokin Hot! Very friendly!!!

Came here for lunch while working in the area. Had to burn an hour so decided to come here instead of a fast food restaurant. The bar area is cool and chill. I ended up ordering a burger and fries, I couldn’t resist I saw another guy get one and it looked really good. The bar tender was a sweet heart. Food came out rather quick. If in the area and need to waste some time I would come back.

Went here for a drink. Polite staff, food was mediocre, karaōke was funny. Nice neighborhood bar. Its a local bar, no more no less. Not a bad place.

Best buffalo wings in Clifton Park. close call/​near tie with Ralph’s Italian American on Central Ave., Albany in Capital District. However, Pam’s garlic buffalo wings rule (extra crispy) and #1 in Capital District. If off-​the bone is your preference, try the buffalo wrap (garlic buffalo or regular buffalo). Great service, friendly, local pub atmosphere. Even those that have a few too many. are friendly. Crowd tends to be older (35+), so maybe maturity helps?

It’s a place I don’t go often as I just don’t think of it. But when there I have found the service to be fine, It’s typical pub fare of sandwiches, wings, and apps. I enjoyed their wings and would place them on a par with all the other local pubs quality. Both in price and quality. Large salds that actually can be shared. It’s a very comfortable place and they make feel like a regular and most times the bar crowd is very friendly. It’s safe place to bring children as the won’t tolorate any loud foul language and they are quick to deal with it. Especially in cases where perhaps someone has had a little too much. If you’re in that part of town and up for a few drinks and pub fare it’s well worth a visit.

Standard bar fare for standard bar prices.
The most exciting aspect of this place is playing trivia with the demented locals who frequent this place.
The food is just ok, the beers on tap are unexciting and the service is average at best. The popcorn machine is a nice touch though.
Good people watching when the yokel regulars get hammered.
