About Pinhead Susans

Welcome to Pinhead Susan’s. We are a family owned Irish Pub in Historic downtown Schenectady, New York. Specializing in casual fare, Pinhead’s proudly provides a classy yet relaxed environment to enjoy lunch, dinner, or a few refreshing cocktails. We welcome families, college students, large groups, or those just out for a night on the town. Upon opening in June of 2000, Pinhead’s has developed a fantastic customer base looking for good company, drinks, fine pub fare and the history of the interesting name. Thanks to its antique marble and walnut bar that dates back over 100 years, Pinhead’s provides an Irish pub atmosphere that is rarely found.

If you’re looking to use your brain, then join us on Thursday evenings for Team Trivia night. There is no entry fee and prizes are awarded to top scorers. Friday and Saturday nights bring live music to Pinhead’s. Beginning at 9 o’clock on both nights, local bands play all types of music ranging from rock to folk to today’s hits and everything in between. We recommend making a reservation if you are planning to take in a show at nearby Proctors Theatre or if you will be joining us with a group of 8 or more for lunch or dinner.

We hope you enjoy our Irish hospitality in your visit. As you look around at our corner of history, take a moment to recall the many patrons of the past that have raised a glass of good cheer in this same place.
