About City Line Bar and Grill

City Line Bar and Grill has proudly served the Capital Region since 2014, sitting right on the edge of Albany and Guilderland, but with bold flavors and big-city energy that go far beyond the border. After more than a decade of growth, we're entering an exciting new chapter. In 2024, Rob Malkus became the sole owner of City Line, bringing his full focus to hospitality, creativity, and evolving the experience for our guests. Together with new Executive Chef Ryan O’Shea, whose diverse culinary background spans private dining, event catering, and acclaimed kitchens. We’ve always been a place to gather for the big game, weekend brunches, or casual dinners on the patio, and now we’re doubling down on what makes us great. That means a fresh, seasonal menu with new crowd-favorites (like our wildly popular birria potstickers), an expanded catering operation, and a shift toward daytime events and elevated private dining.

At our core, we remain committed to quality food, approachable service, and bringing people together. Whether you're visiting for happy hour, catching up over brunch, or planning a special celebration, City Line is still your neighborhood spot, with just the right amount of edge.

Come see what’s new and what’s next.
