Member Spotlight: Albany Stadium Restaurant & Bar

Albany Stadium Restaurant & Bar was established in 2022. Co-owners, James Anilowski and Wendi Enright, are long-time friends who also own an IT company together. The restaurant and bar operate in three main silos: they are open for all MVP Arena events, host DJ nights several times a month, and are available for private parties.

Albany Stadium Restaurant & Bar is particularly known for private event rentals, catering to a wide range of occasions such as birthday parties, family reunions, company outings, rehearsal dinners, bachelor/bachelorette parties, nonprofit and political fundraisers, and holiday celebrations. This reputation is built on their advanced tech capabilities, space for a DJ and photo booth, ample free parking, areas accommodating 40-250 attendees, customized themed drink menus, access for decorating, and a reasonably priced, varied catering menu.

As a member, Albany Stadium Restaurant & Bar has leveraged the Chamber as a resource by participating in networking events, ribbon cuttings, and maintaining communication with the Chamber staff, who are always available to assist with questions or connections.

The favorite part about living and working in the Capital Region for the owners is the variety of events and activities available in downtown Albany, Schenectady, and Troy. One of the nicest compliments they received from a customer was when someone said they felt like royalty during their birthday party. They emphasize the personalized experience and effort to meet everyone’s needs, making every event special and memorable.
