The Ruck is one of the places that made craft beer culture thrive in the Capital District. That's not hyperbole. This rugby themed craft beer tavern is a mecca for those who like great wings, a well curated draught list, a friendly and informed staff, and a place that feels that it could be your local or an event place. The back patio fills up quickly and is very dog friendly (they even host an annual fundraiser for a local dog charity there). The menu offers a variety of traditional pub fare as well as vegan and vegetarian options.

Parking can be a thing, as a fair warning, but it is worth it.

I would get the White Guy Wasted Tots and the Brother Robert Hot flavor wings.
