Muddy’s 40

Muddy’s is local bikini bar. It is classy, clean, has good food and attracts a crowd of mostly regulars who are older and blue collar. The bikinis are usually very minimal but can vary — and there are times like trivia night that there are no bikinis. Don’t be shy about calling ahead to inquire about the dress if thats why you’re going (and you are). Service has been very friendly and capable when I’ve been there during the day shift, these have not been like the Tilted Kilt staff.
The food is really very good for bar food and very plentiful. The garlic Parm wings may have been the best wings I have ever had — shatterlingly crispy. The Reuben was also excellent, sausage sub just pretty good.
I’m always surprised that nobody has heard about Muddy’s — it has been here forever and is a very unique and fun place. Well worth the trip for the occasional visit.

The people are super nice, and gave my daughter her drink free while she waited for out take-​out order. Try the Muddy’s Burger. It is amazing! The macaroni salad has a sweet taste — so good. Then there are the waffle fries. I could eat a whole plate of those alone.

Nothing says ‘Merica like cold beer, hot wings, and scantily clad bartenders and Muddys does a fine job of of giving their customers that sense of pride that’s usually only found on the 4^th of July. Although it’s off the beaten path and easy to miss, Muddys is one of those places that you should experience. From the outside the place does not look like much but once you’re inside you’ll find a surprisingly nice establishment. There’s nothing fancy here, just your typical pub fare, but then again when your bartender is wearing next to nothing you probably shouldn’t be expecting fine cuisine. The prices are extremely fare for what you get.

new owners!!! Raised food prices and changed quality of food and portions. Def better When original owners owned it. Girls I would say are prolly the same, look wise. Take a look at the 2 pics I posted of the Muddys Ruben from 7 months ago to today big diff especially portions & quality of food. been coming here for years when I’m in the area for work so I gotta say im a lil disappointed.

Cute girls in thongs and pasties… what’s not to like?
But seriously, they have great food and good prices on cheap drinks. The sandwich’s are huge, equivelant to four sammiches at other places.
The waitresses are very friendly, despite having to deal with Watervliets worst on a daily basis.
The wife loved it there, and the little bingo-​esque gambling game put on by the NYS lottery.

I went to Muddy’s with brocho after hearing some chatter about it.
Sure enough the barkeep was female, and topless except for some weird flesh colored paint on her niparoos.
When we entered there were only a few patrons. One was drunk and had his head down on the bar like a sleepy, really depressed school boy. The others looked like they had walked in and were fixing to walk home.
We ordered whiskey and beer, both very reasonable priced. Word on the street is the food is great and the steak sandwich was legendary.
The bartenders were pleasant and attentive. They had a girl next door quality that was cute. They were not being exotic or truthfully even sexy. They were just not wearing tops and had thongs on.
The lights were on full blast and the girls had bar maintenance to do, washing glasses and so forth. There is a classic Sienfield episode that talks about what you shouldn’t do naked. Here we have an everyday activity, that you just don’t see everyday.
I give these girls a lot of credit for putting themselves out there like that.
Unilocal meeting candidate.

There’s something to be said for a place that has their bartenders wear white-​out over their nipples instead of wearing actual tassels.
Anyway, the great story about this place was a friend of mine was drinking heavily here during the day and he was sitting next to this kind, older gentleman. They sat drinking for several hours until finally the friendly stranger stood up and said, «Well, guess I better get to work.» The man left a nice tip, walked out the front door, and immediately got on a school bus.
Yeah.

This place is really one of a kind. If you ever feel compelled to come upstate to the Albany area, and happen to be around the Watervliet/​Latham/​Menands area… you have to at least stop here for a drink. Believe me, your jaw will drop at how just odd and trashy this place is, and it’s still a clean bar.
A couple things to note about this place: the pitchers are pretty cheap, so I suggest coming with a friend or two (not too big of a group, its just too depressing as an option for that) and splitting one.
Second, they have plenty of space in the back for karaōke and tables and just fool-​making areas.
Third, the clientele here is just WEAK. Old regulars mix with barely-​scraping-​by white racists with the occasional horny couple just going at it at a table.
And fourth, but certainly not the least. The bartenders. Yes they are all hot. But what’s just incredibly silly is that they are almost fully naked. They were small tassles over their nipples, and thong it up waist down. And heels or shoes. That’s it.
Why? I dunno. But since the clients aren’t very attractive, the disparity is so damaging to the psyche; why work here? why have this gimmick? it’s just so odd.
You may ask why I go here when I’m home. Well, its the closest bar to me. My friend Chris, his family lives down the block (we can walk there in about 40 seconds). The girls are cute and look forward to conversation from someone who has hope in life. And last, I enjoy people coming up to me asking if I’m Chinese and then I can just tear them a new one and they won’t even know because they’re too drunk.
