Albany Pump Station

The Albany Pump Station sits in a brick building with 40-foot ceilings, exposed beams, and original mechanical equipment preserved from its water pumping days. Today it operates as a brewery and restaurant with two mezzanine levels for events and seating for over 400 people.

The building was constructed in 1873 to serve water distribution needs and operated in that role until 1932. In 1999, the C.H. Evans Brewing Company took over the property and transformed it into a brewery and restaurant.

The establishment connects to the long brewing heritage of the Hudson River region by producing and serving locally crafted beers on site. Visitors can directly experience and taste this local brewing tradition while they dine.

The venue offers 24 beer taps with varied selections, outdoor seating, and serves both lunch and dinner. Guests should know the space is quite large but can get busy during peak hours.

The interior uses tables and bar tops made from original pumping station components, crafted by local artisans from Latham, New York. These repurposed materials give the space an authentic link to the site's industrial past.
