Throwback Thursday only days away!

Throughout the month of August, Legends will host Throwback Thursday Karaoke and welcome D.J. Joey G to run the show. Bud Light is on board as a sponsor, which will make for fantastic specials. Pints of bud light will be $2.50, wings only .25 cents each, half dozen bud light splits (mini bottles) for $8.00 and $6.00 Absolut tall drinks will all be available.

D.J. Joey G has been working the city of Albany for years and knows how to get a party started. The musical line-up will feature mainly hits from the 80's an 90's and take place on the second floor of Legends.

Legends is recognized as one the best places in Albany to watch sports. However, very soon it will also be known as the best karaoke spot in the capitol region.

Don't miss out on the party. Don't miss all the great specials. Don't be shy. Come grab the microphone every Thursday at Legends and show everyone how hard you rock!

New Executive Chef to Change Things up @ Justin's

Jennifer Dearstyne has been working towards finding her own kitchen ever since she started cooking as a child. A resident of Albany since 1983, her first job was at the Italian Community Center, washing dishes, when she was fourteen years old.

Dearstyne remembers those days clearly, "I started washing dishes and couldn't keep my eyes of the cooks," she continues, "Now my dreams are coming true, I am getting paid to do the thing I love."

Justin's is proud to welcome Dearstyne's creativity and energy towards her food. Her mellow personality rubs off not only on her kitchen help, but the entire staff in the front of the house.

A new summer menu has been created, which combines Justin's signature dishes with a handful of new options, as well as some selections she has tweaked subtly. She has created side dishes that can be mixed and matched with entrees, allowing customers to substitute to their liking (rather than stick strictly to the menu). Dearstyne understands you may not always want steak and potatoes; sometimes a side salad is the perfect compliment.

At 36, Dearstyne has put in her time and developed a personal style. Her love of food is clear and her leadership in the kitchen can't go unnoticed.

The new menu is out, come to Justin's and taste the difference!

The Hamilton Room

Between the friendly staff, exotic cocktails, cozy patio and enticing menu Dejohn's Restaurant and Pub offers a terrific experience day in and day out. However, there is even more to enjoy on the third floor. The Hamilton room, a former art gallery, offers a tremendous space for your next party or outing. The high ceilings, large windows and elegant lighting offer a space fit for any occasion. Parties can accommodate intimate affairs for just a handful of people or large scale groups up to fifty. A private bar and upstairs deck are provided, as well as a raised stage that overlooks Lark Street. The Hamilton room is a lovely space with tons of flexibility. Price varies depending on party size, time and other requests.

Who has time for all the planning, cooking and preparation required for large parties? Call Dejohn's (518.465.5275) and ask about the Hamilton room. Then all you have to do is show up!
