J J Rafferty's - LATHAM

I visited this establishment tonight for dinner and drinks with some friends I hadn't seen in a while. First off, the parking situation is awful. The music was equally disappointing, and the seating was uncomfortable. To be frank, the overall crowd left much to be desired, including the owners. At one point, I was addressed and even threatened by a patron. When I calmly asked him to stop being disrespectful to my friend and me, the owner wrongly accused me of starting an argument. He acted just as foolishly as the guest who had bothered us. The owner approached me directly, asking what my problem was, despite having been informed by his security staff about the situation. This all happened after my friends and I had spent a significant amount on our meal and drinks over the course of three hours. I felt so insulted that I chose to leave. This establishment seems to attract unhappy individuals. I wouldn't spend another cent there, even if someone offered me money to do so. The security personnel left much to be desired as well, and the same uninspired DJ has been playing for years, which undoubtedly draws in the wrong crowd. I highly recommend that people make the effort to venture to Saratoga or Albany, where they will receive much better treatment, enjoy better music, and find a more pleasant atmosphere. We all work too hard for our money to waste it in such a place. It’s also concerning that a conservative woman like myself would feel unsafe in an establishment that fails to provide adequate security. By the way, that unruly group was not asked to leave. This place really should be shut down.

My husband and I wanted to check this place one day, and when we went and there was a whole local show with a guy playing his guitar. The staff was super nice and the drinks were amazing. Since then we have been here as one of our to go spots just around every day night haha

I went to one of the happy hours at my fiancée's job, and it was fantastic! The server was attentive and handled our large group effortlessly. The food was delicious too. After we left, we discussed how we'd love to return for a date night. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

The fish and chips were delicious, but I wish the beers were larger; the Drimble ran out too quickly. The terrace is comfortable if you prefer to eat outdoors.

The best Mozzarella sticks ever! Eating is a bit expensive, but never disappointed. Service is good, although they were packed, we were quickly supervised.
