About this business

The Ginger Man boasts a large hand selected assortment of wines from around the world. I also feature NY state offerings in every varietal. Keeping in trend with Organic, Sustainable, Biodymanic offerings, the Ginger Man has something for every palate and price. I offer 18 global drafts and am currently re-doing the bottle selection to provide my guests with 15 different craft and classic stylings from New York to Belgium. In regards to food, Chef O'Leary takes pride in aspect of the kitchen. All meat and seafood and purchased whole and butchered in house, with every aspect of the animal used. Local meats, poultry and cheeses are purchased on a local level as much as possible. Gluten free menu and vegetarian options are taken into serious consideration and kept specialized.

J.P. Donleavy's 1955 novel "The Ginger Man" is a chronicle of a drunken, adulterous law student on the prowl in rowdy 1950s Dublin. This Albany establishment is the antithesis of the places Donleavy's character Sebastian Dangerfield… Read Full Editorial

My Review by glennm962129368 via Citysearch on 1/9/2016

We went the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend in the late afternoon, without reservations. The joint was very busy and we were lucky to get in - reservations are a good idea on weekends even for lunch, just to be sure.\r The table split the…

Can you give Zero Stars? by matt912 via Citysearch on 12/10/2010

Having not been to the Ginger Man in a couple of years my friends and I decided to check it out. We were dissapointed across the boards. The food was bland and my friends Ribeye was over cooked to the point where it was unetable. …

Quaint establishment by GrandmasPS via Citysearch on 3/25/2010

Great restaurant in the heart of Pine Hills area

Will Not Be Returning by Joe S1234 via Citysearch on 3/25/2010

My friends and I used to love coming here. Quiet atmosphere, tasteful decor, excellent fondu and entrees. But over the last few months of dealing with staff that are drunk or otherwise under the influence, we have decided the pros of the…

Gastronomic Delights by Carlene V via Insider Pages on 8/10/2008

I can't say enough about this restaurant. It has the BEST selection of tap beer, wine and unique food. I would suggest that if you want a table for dinner that you go early because the place fills up quickly - it's just that great of a…

I LOVE THIS PLACE by MalcolmM via Citysearch on 7/1/2008

Its cool, it has a unique selection. The asiago cheese fondue is awesome. If you are a little low on cash they have four sandwiches that are for 9$ and each come with a choice of side. Talk about a deal! Try the steak Madeira sandwich!…

what a great surprise by patriciatraina via Citysearch on 11/30/2007

We are from out-of-town and went to a concert at The Palace. We stopped people on the street and asked where there was a good late night place. They steered us well to The Ginger man. Nice decor\r Interesting selections, food done well,…

Restaurant has transformed its historical location into an upscale dining experience with unique menu and reputable wine list. by Contributor via Citysearch on 7/6/2006

In Short
Irish-American eatery caters to couples and businesspeople escaping the office for lunch. The walls inside are garnished with quotes by Irish authors, though most patrons vie for patio seating outside.. Because of the…

Great Food, Great Atmosphere! by Jennifer E. via Judy's Book on 7/20/2005

I love the Ginger Man. Their food is fabulous and they have an extensive wine list. My favorites include a Spicy Vegetarian Jambalaya which you can add chicken or shrimp to, their daily special quesadillas which are always huge and…

Relax with close friends by alvmet via Citysearch on 10/21/2002

Convenient location. Service and food are consistently good!! The wine list has a reasonable offering, but could be updated more frequently (vintages noted are often unavailable).
