They have the best wings in Schenectady!!!! Hands down! If you've never tried their Sasquatch wings you're missing out. The staff is super friendly. It has cute little pub feel, very welcoming. I love going in there. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Schenectady!!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a small local joint to hang out and watch the football games. Great spot!

A go to spot in Schenectady for comfort eats and NFL ticket. There is plenty of free parking in the LAZ lot directly across the street. In the warmer months there are alley and back patio seating options. The inside of the bar is traditional with drink and music memorabilia. The restaurant changed ownership a year ago but the charm did not change. The drafts rotate frequently and Flower Power is my favorite choice. I try to rotate food items from tendies, Reuben sandwich with Mac salad and chicken wings. But I typically get the award winning wings. Always order crispy! The mix hot buffalo and paresean garlic sauce is insane.

Great atmosphere, attentive and friendly bartender and wait staff, lively conversation and hands down the best wings in town.

20 North is an old fashioned bar setting with plenty of bar seating and a few booths and tables setup along the sides. They have plenty of beer on tap including fiddlehead, Sierra Nevada, Coors, Yuingling, blue moon and Guinness to name a few. There are also plenty of liquors for cocktails. I took the recommendation of other reviews and got the wings. They were extra crispy and delicious. There's a fine line between crispy and over cooked. Some of the wings in the order were perfect, others a bit overdone but the sauce more than made up for it. I also sat at the bar and the service was pretty good. The bar wasn't overly busy and it took a bit to place my order but everyone was extremely friendly and kind. I'd be back.

I love this place! Believe me, everything you read about the chicken wings here is spot on. They are meaty, juicy, and delicious. Jen helped me out and she couldn't have been nicer. She even started singing behind the bar! That's the kind of neighborhood spot this is. It feels like it's been around for 100 years and everyone is made to feel welcome. I can't wait to return because there were so many items on the menu and so many beers on tap it's impossible to conquer it all on just one visit. This is the perfect dive bar.

For the looks of this Schenectady bar, it's average. It doesn't look like much to be honest. 20 North Broadway even has a generic name. Has some great beers and cocktails. Only pretty average food but it's not bad though. A great place for watching games. It's packed when there's something on. The bar is kind of a tight fit, partly because of the crowds blocking the entrance and stuff. It's about $8 for a basic cocktail. There's great reliable things like Jameson. Food is more of a crapshoot. It's about $9 for the Soft Pretzel Sticks. Seems like a lot for these. A redeeming factor is these come with horseradish mustard. This is the best part. Good beers and cocktails. It's one of the better places for watching games if you're okay with crowds in tight spaces. The food is the usual kind of bar stuff like pretzels, wings, and whatever.

What a great little spot! I'm so glad we stopped in. We weren't sure what we had gotten into at first, as it took an awkward few minutes for someone to greet us at the door & help us to a table, but we realized pretty quickly that we had found a great local joint. The service - Wonderful, pleasant, & accommodating. We let our server know right away that we were very, very thirsty & she appeared moments later with glasses of ice water for everyone & a big pitcher for the table. She also brought me pickles per my request (I only asked for one, & she brought three!) The prices - Phenomenal! It's rare to see good quality food priced so reasonably anymore. I got the Blackened Chicken "Big Salad" with their homemade tomato basil vinaigrette with a side of fries. It really hit the spot. The interior - Fascinating & fun. So much to look at. Great posters, stickers, beer cans, & pictures on the walls. The bathroom door was all carved up with initials & messages from prior customers. Loved it. We will be back if we're in the area again!

Recently planned a get together with some former coworkers. Needed a place to meet up. When I googled, "good cheap eats in Schenectady," the 20 North Broadway Tavern topped the short list. Done. It was an instant hit. I wanted the pastrami sandwich pictured on the website. Turns out, it was every bit as good as it looked. Probably the best I've had in the Capital Region. I think it came with coleslaw but they let me switch it for a small salad. The beer was cold. The server/ bartender was both friendly and efficient. The food came up relatively quickly. I was relieved and delighted. The tavern has just the right look. It's cute from the outside with nice signage. Inside, the lighting is dim-- especially at night--with the feel of a cool dive bar. If you want a more festive setting during the summer, there's outdoor seating complete with hanging string lights. That actually looked very inviting but my friends chose to stay indoors due to the threat of rain. As we prepared to leave, my friends were wondering why they hadn't been to the tavern before. One thing for sure is that we'll be back for more "good cheap eats" and great beer.

If you have not stop by this location, you are missing out. Nothing fancy just down home food and fun good drinks good atmosphere kind of a dive bar but I love it so come check it out. It may be crowded because I'm not the only one who thinks this place is pretty awesome especially their wings.
