Editorial Review for Van Dyck Restaurant & Brewery – by J. Eric Smith
The Scene:
The Van Dyck is one of the Capital Region's legendary musical locales, having stood for decades at jazz ground zero as the hot players' room to end all hot players' rooms. Unfortunately, the club's original ownership group was unable to keep the venue afloat after hard economic times hit Schenectady in the '80s. But it's notoriously difficult to kill a legendary old jazz club: they usually just lay dormant for a spell, then reopen phoenix-like as brewpubs. Or restaurants. Or sometimes even as the jazz clubs that they once were. Or, in the Van Dyck's case, as all three. These days the Van Dyck once again swings with the sounds of sweet, sweet jazz, although there's also room for rock, folk, blues, and soul sometimes in both the downstairs pub and the upstairs club. Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Yes indeed it does.
Must Have Drinks:
Dewar's on the rocks.

Dinner here is over rated. menu is very hard to read as writing is small. Had sirloin dinner, was a strip steak full of grizzle, vegtables were ok but not what was offered on the menu. The only good dinner experiance was the corn bread. Staff was rude! Expence of this meal for 2 with tip and drinks was in the $65. range and I had to wipe my face with a cheap paper napkin.
Pros: corn bread, drinks
Cons: meal, staff
