Hotsy Totsy Club

The happy-hour drinks are cheap , but there’s also a full craft cocktail list, with some elaborate takes on hot chocolate and apple cider , and a taco truck parked outside a few nights a week. Read more

Hotsy Totsy Club has been going strong since 1939. Bartenders mix classics and newfangled drinks for regulars and visitors while the jukebox plays above the scratchy murmur of the shuffleboard . Read more

Such an amazing dive meets cocktail palace . And the people are just so nice…a true neighborhood mainstay. Coming from NYC, this is a true CA friendly establishment, from the bartenders to the patrons

The taco truck next door has great food and a PBR pitcher at happy hour can't be beat.

Drinks are strong, well made, fairly priced . Great eclectic atmosphere, a sort of uber dive bar , but with great drinking food from the truck outside.

All of the bartenders here are talented. That being said, ask Keli to teach you about whiskey . You think you know whiskey , but you don't. She will help you gain knowledge .

Hotsy Totsy!! Great little dive if you're in Albany. Be nice to your bartender ! Good help is hard to get...

Pretty chill bar , I like the set up, slightly different that most bars in NYC and not drinking this year, it was still comfy , there's a "Hella" taco truck around the corner that was damn good "hella" Read more

Cool bartenders who are mostly not douchy. Tacos next door pair well with hand crafted cocktails or $3 PBR drafts

For a divey-seeming bar they actually made some great fancy cocktails . Grab a menu and try one!

A nice friendly "dive" bar . Great regulars and awesome creative bartenders .

Keli and Aurora are amazing! Ask them for recommendations and you'll get a cocktail education !

Go to Hotsy Totsy for pitchers of beer and a game of shuffleboard . Go left when exiting the bar for awesome tacos and burritos from the taco truck that sits there Th-Sun 7P-1A. Skip the quesadillas .

Properly made old fashioneds . The bartenders care about craft.

The only bar I can think of where "cute " and "divey" are equally accurate descriptors.

Best bartenders in the East Bay . Maybe the Bay Area.

Bomb tacos worth the very long wait for. Nevins to drink.

Great specialty cocktails , nice bartenders

Former dive bar turns Gen Y / Hipster hot spot over at East Bay .

This is a great neighborhood dive with ambitious and impressive cocktails .

The Hotsy Totsy is the perfect gateway bar : dark dive bar with pool tables yet also great ingredients and bartenders who know what to do with them.

Awesome cocktails made with love by awesome people.

Good cocktails but gets incredibly loud .

Aurora makes homemade tonic right here in Albany. The regulars swear by it.

Great cocktails !

Hang out with Gerd. He's the bomb. Ask about Scampi .

Fabulous drinks

The best bar ever. The end.

Everyone here is the nicest.

Absolutely. Do. Not. Come. Here. You. Will. Hate. It.

Small and intimate

Try the sugar bear!

Love the Megatouch machine. Enjoy a game of Photohunt, but DON'T beat my score...please?

Corps survivor is bomb

Roach coach out front for the win..and awesome 45 jukebox ! Groovy

Better than I deserve.

Ask to see the cocktail list !

Taco truck , yummmm

Hand made vodka

Be afraid, be very afraid...
