“ Another Sunday adventure into Schenectady found me at Hunter's on Jay. So glad I stopped. Had heard about the beer selection and good food. Did not disappoint! 20 taps and many of them local. Tried an array of different beers; from sours to stouts. Ordered the wings with hot and garlic parm mixed. They were delicious. Crispy, saucy and spicy. Zach the bartender was incredible! Extremely personable and very beer saavy. He made me feel at home as well as the customers there ranging in age from younger to older. Great "secret" neighborhood spot. Will definitely be back to try more menu items and beers. ”
