BLUE 82
The Lowdown
Blue 82 is the first true lounge to open its doors on North Pearl St in the downtown Albany area. It offers a unique alternative to other popular nightspots and has a mature, sophisticated and elegant feel.
Blue 82 exudes a hip & classy atmosphere that has separated itself from any other bar in the Capital District. This intimate lounge completes the perfect setting for anyone who wants to go out in style in the 518.
The bar was originally opened in 2005 but it didn't take long to garner attention and overall praise. It has been voted "#1 Best Cocktails" in the Times Union's Best of the Capital Region.
Check out Blue 82 on your birthday and treat yourself to a Not-So-Tinnie Birthday Martini which is free with any $20 purchase.
Blue 82 is open Monday through Saturday. Lunch is served Tuesday through Friday starting at 11:30 a.m.; dinner is available Monday through Saturday beginning at 5 p.m. (the kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m. Monday thru Wednesday and at 9:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday). Sushi and dessert are served all night. The bar is open until 1 a.m. Monday through Thursday and until 4 a.m. on the weekends.
Bottle service available as well.
One of the best places in the area and we strongly recommend checking this place out.
The Service
Blue 82 is very popular and at times can get crowded, so take that into consideration on a Friday or Saturday night in downtown.
Our visit was pleasurable and enjoyable. We have been here a few times and have nothing but rave reviews.
One of the great things about Blue 82 is that Sushi and dessert are served all night. We have heard great things about the rest of the food as well.
The Scene
Blue 82 is a beautiful place with a fashionable and professional feel.
A great place to mingle with other professionals or to have an amazing setting for the perfect date.
Also a perfect place for an important business lunch.
