Reviews for The Shaker and Vine in Schenectady, NY
Loves this place. Perfect for date night! Really cool concept where you get a card and self serve your wine. Don?t have to wait... for a fill. Good selection for all of many different types of wines. Short wait time wasn?t bad at 8pm for a Friday. Honestlythe nicest hostess, server, wine bar assistants, everyone is so friendly and full of smiles! The place is really clean andmodern. Music is upbeat and we had a really great time. We will be back for sure. Visiting from Philly! Cheers!!! Read more
Popped in as we were staying at the Courtyard next door. Super cute spot! We didn?t pour our own wine, but we sat at the bar. I... had a few cocktails and food. The service was phenomenal, friendly bartenders! My only feedback is the host/seating situationwas a bit confusing. I think a lot of the areas you can seat yourself, but we were told it was an hour for a table and that wasconfusing with a lot of open options, so explaining the seating options would be helpful for our-of-towners. ???? all aroundgreat option!

Such a lovely place, and everything was delicious! We sat outside at a corner high top and it really was perfect weather... We... had: *Charcuterie for 2 (no olives we're just not fans) I had: *Jalapeno Margarita - they didn't have Thai Basil so it was justregular lime, but rimmed with lava salt (my favorite salt!) It was very good!???? *The "How ?Bout Them Apples?" Flatbread -thisso good, but the bacon was only on like half.... Husband had: *Pina Colada - it had real coconut in it! I'm not a frozen drinkfan but I'd drink that for sure! *The Chipotle Chicken panini with chips. He enjoyed it, but the chips were basic lays type andhe wished he'd gotten the side salad (but I ate a bunch of the chips dipped in the hot honey from my plate ????) I also got awine card and had a few tastes of a few wines.... but, Stella Rosa Blueberry Moscato is my new summer wine for sure! I shouldhave tried a few of the other flavors but will definitely be back! Read more
There's such amazing ambiance here! We sat outside and the little table top fires and live palm trees create such a cool vibe.... Beautiful option for outdoor food and drinks. It was a Friday night and the weather was great so it was pretty busy. We hadreserved the table a couple of weeks in advance. Definitely plan to make a reservation if you have a group and are coming duringpeak hours. Everything was delicious, my group tried a few of the cocktails and split a bottle of wine too. We also had thecharcuterie board which was really nice. It was a high quality arrangement. You can taste the artistry in the cocktails too. Ourserver was very professional and attentive. It is a little pricey but it's also a special setting. It's right by the water andsuch a cool place to hang out. Highly recommend. Great place for a date. Read more
This was my first visit to this place and I must say it is awesome. This is the perfect blend of lounge bar and restaurant. The... feel and vibe are ultra relaxing. Went to enjoy the margarita Tuesday they were promoting. Got a mix of the mango and pineapplemargarita in the decorative mini Patron bottles they were promoting. It was delicious. Decided to go with the charcuterie board,spinach artichoke dip and the caprese flat bread. All of the food was good and perfectly presented. Our waitress Sam was adoll!! They also offer a self serve wine tasting. You get an in house "credit card" and you can choose which wines you want totaste by the ounce. Nice selection and set up. I wish I got a picture of the actual wine tasting set up. The sommelier was sopleasant and helpful. A great experience and can't wait to go when the weather is nice to enjoy the patio which overlooks theriver. Read more
Shaker and Vine is a vibe. A very nice spot to lounge with family and friends. The atmosphere is very chill. The indoors has... wine on tap, you give them your credit card and you can basically sip from one oz, three oz and five oz. The indoor has cozyseating. The outdoors is more of a backyard hang out with palm trees, firepit, gazebos and outdoor lights . The menus has tonsof wines and cocktail option. I definitely recommend the mango tango for two. The waiters are nice and friendly too. They alsocheck IDs before you enter , you have to be 21 and older. Also it's best you book reservation in advance. Enjoy! Read more
First of all, special thanks to our bartender Alex ???????? now let?s get into bit details, cocktails ???? and other drinks in... the menu & cost pretty reasonable, but still room for improvement ???? my recommendation; have seasonal cocktails in your menu???? For wine ???? menu I can?t say anything, i need to try some of wines in the menu. will be back for self service wine ????soon ???? I didn?t see anything very special and unique on food menu ??????? I ordered Dream of California pizza ???? it took30 minutes ???? and i got hand size pizza ???? for $15 ???????? yuu kidding me guys! whatever! Honestly I was expecting woodfire ???? pizza ????????, but i was dreaming about ???????????????? the taste of my dream of California pizza ???? wasn?treally good and if want to truly rate that pizza I would say 1 star ??. However, always room for improvement. In general myrate for this place 4 star ?? and that is for wine menu, atmosphere, view, interior design. ???? Read more
The outdoor space is so gorgeous! Fire pit was a plus! We got a lot to eat?but I only took pics of two items: Mediterranean... platter & the dessert board. We also got lobster, ravioli, shrimp cocktail, buffalo chicken dip & 2 flatbreads. Drinks weredelicious and refreshing. Watching the sunset above the palm trees was a plus! Read more
