Nightlife in Albany
There’s no shortage of things to do in Albany in the evening. You have quiz nights, cornhole tournaments, handcrafted cocktails, and much more. Explore the Capital Craft Beverage Trail for craft beverage makers, or order a Spirit of Albany cocktail created by one of our skilled mixologists. If live music is more your style, there are several places in downtown Albany where you can see a performance.
Whether you’re a guest or a local, Albany has plenty to offer once the sun sets. Visit Albany’s burgeoning Warehouse District to sample the Capital Craft Beverage Trail and learn about the city’s thriving craft beverage industry. Handcrafted cocktails are served in a clandestine speakeasy or a quiet gastropub. Alternatively, attend a performance at one of Albany’s downtown venues to see the city’s live music culture.
Date night
Dress up and go out on an impromptu evening out. Make Saturday night a spontaneous one, whether it means using a dating app to discover a prospective first date or going out with your long-term partner. If you aren’t up to a romantic evening, make a date night out of it with your bestie.
Visit old stomping grounds
Even though going out with friends on a Saturday night may appear to be an obvious, repetitious activity, it does not have to be. Make a list of locations you haven’t been in a long time, have heard good things about, or just come across in an area you’ve never strolled through this weekend. Consider going to a funky dive pub, a live music venue, or a classy speakeasy in a neighborhood you don’t usually visit.
Concert
Even if you are unfamiliar with the musician, you may find yourself enjoying live music and dancing. Take a tip from a music-obsessed acquaintance, a record-collecting partner, or simply go to a local concert hall to see what’s on the schedule. This is also true for live performances in smaller, more intimate venues. Your local alternative weekly (also known as alt-weekly) newspaper will most likely have information about upcoming musical performers and other artsy events.
You may decide to move to Albany if you fall in love with it and want to take advantage of the lower cost of living (compared to NYC). Your dollar will go a lot further in this neighborhood than it would in some of Albany’s more urban areas. Albany houses for sale and rent are more affordable. Many city inhabitants opt to relocate to Albany because of the lower cost of living. Utilities, transportation, healthcare, and even the average home price are all lower than the national average. Furthermore, you will be able to afford more space in Albany than you would in a larger metropolis.
