Chances are, when you go to a show in downtown Albany, you have a go to pre-show destination. For some it is getting a high-end steak dinner at Prime. For others, maybe it is a great meal at the Bishop. But for most, it is all about a great beer and some pub food before taking in a concert at the Palace Theatre of the MVP Arena.

And what has been probably the most popular destination for the pre-show beer and burger for almost 25-years? The Albany Pump Station!
