ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Olde English Pub & Pantry, located in Albany’s historic Quackenbush Square, is under new ownership. The outgoing owners made the announcement in a Facebook post on Saturday, April 6.
“This spring brought big change for this little house,” said outgoing owners Mark and Greta Graydon. “Tonight, the original keepers of The Olde English Pub will pass the keys to Leslie Mahoney, the pub’s new owner.”
The Quackenbush House, which is home to The Olde English Pub, was built around 1736 and is named after the Dutch family who settled in Albany for over 200 years. Descendants of the Quackenbush family lived in the home until 1864. Since then, the home has been a bakery, an antique store, a boarding house, a drug store, a lithographer, a furniture store, and a tavern.
The building was leased to the Graydons in 2010. They then opened The Olde English Pub & Pantry. With the change in ownership, the Graydons went on to thank their patrons, staff, artists, vendors, and other local businesses and organizations who supported the pub.
The Olde English Pub serves English staples such as fish and chips, bangers and hash, and a pub pie. The menu also has cultural influences from India and the Caribbean. The pub features British beers, domestic beers, single malt scotches, wine, and cocktails. You can view the brunch, lunch, and dinner menus on the Old English Pub website
“Please join us in raising a glass to celebrate this time of change and congratulate Leslie and the crew on happy new beginnings,” said the Graydons. “We look forward to seeing you and sitting alongside you as patrons for many years to come!”
In September 2021, The Old English Pub celebrated its 10th anniversary with Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan declaring the day “Olde English Pub and Pantry Day.” Actor Nick Offerman also visited the pub for a 2022 episode of “Who Do You Think You Are?,” which was filmed in Albany, Fonda, and Johnstown.
