Downtown Troy, NY · The Trojan Renaissance
A CornerClubhouse
At 518 Craft, we are a unique blend of craft beer, ciders, spirits, and specialty cocktails. Our commitment to storytelling sets us apart — every drink tells a story, from locally sourced ingredients to intricate flavors.
518 Craft is a haven for musicians, artists, creatives, and beer-lovers alike. The walls are home to rotating art shows. Its space has welcomed countless musicians to perform and comedians to take the stage — a community-centered public house constantly adapting to fit the interests of their niche, beer-loving community.
Founded by Jeremy Cowan, 518 Craft now enters an exciting new chapter with the addition of David Girard, Shannon Rafferty, and Thomas Williams to the management team — each bringing deep roots in the arts, hospitality, and the Albany–Troy community.
“The continual appreciation for the community and the opportunity for expression is something I truly admire and hope to nurture here.”
David Girard · Manager
The clubhouse comes alive after dark — live music, comedy, art on every wall, and a community that keeps showing up.
