Phigans Bar and Lounge at 462 Albany Shaker Road, Albany, New York.

This bar replaced Tommy's bar which had been there for decades. Brother of Tommy owns it. Pros: rices are very reasonable and they hard pour you. They painted the place and cleaned it up a bit with new coolers, etc. The new clean look and telling people they can't smoke in entry way chased off the riff raff. Cons: Still has same crappy bathroom though. Kept 2ft overhang over bar that makes it hard to see sports TVs across the room. You have to twist and turn to get a look at a TV.
