SLIDIN' DIRTY RELOCATES TO OPHELIA'S IN ALBANY, STARTING THURS. DEC. 19

Popular slider restaurant takes over kitchen service at Albany Venue

ALBANY, NY (12/18/24) — Starting Thursday, Slidin’ Dirty will provide kitchen service at Ophelia's located at 388 Broadway.

Slidin’ Dirty Chef Tim Taney and Manager Rob Tritto will be in the kitchen at Ophelia’s seven days a week for lunch and dinner. Ophelia’s staff will provide bar and wait service.

“Yes, the Avocado Fries will be back,” Taney said, noting one of the Slidin’ Dirty’s most popular appetizers. “We are bringing back our classic slider menu along with some full-sized sandwiches and pub fare.”

The new arrangement comes on the heels of Taney’s decision in October to not renew the lease for a bar and restaurant space in Troy that he operated at for a decade, first as Slidin’ Dirty and then for the final year as a rebranded “Twisted Fiddler” live music venue and restaurant. While Twisted Fiddler maintained the same culinary team as Slidin’ Dirty, its menu offered more standard pub fare.

Taney said the Slidin’ Dirty menu at Ophelia’s will be a return to form, featuring the most popular sliders such as The Dirty Ninja, which won the 2013 Albany Slider Slam, as well as the most popular items from the Twisted Fiddler menu including the Chopped Cheese, Short Rib French Dip and Shrimp Po Boy.

“There will be some full size sandwiches and a few entrees, but it’s going to be largely a Slidin’ Dirty menu,” Taney said. “We bringing back the classic sliders, our ‘Hall of Fame’ sliders.”

Ophelia’s celebrated its grand opening in downtown Albany in October, offering comfort food from lunch to late evening, handcrafted cocktails, an extensive draft list, and live music from local to national acts. Ophelia’s Owner Shane Spillenger reached out to Taney around that time after hearing about his decision not to renew his lease at the Troy location.

“Tim and I both share a love of live music and good food,” Spillenger said. “It made sense to work together to provide the best possible venue to grab a bite and catch a show locally.”

Although Ophelia’s is new, the space at 388 Broadway — which features a front barroom/dining area and a spacious performance room in the rear — has been a live music venue for decades with various names such as Parish Public House, Red Square and Doc McCutcheon’s.

Moving forward, Spillenger will book the music and manage the bar, run by the existing Ophelia’s staff. Taney will run the kitchen and will try to retain the existing kitchen staff, noting that all of Slidin’ Dirty’s food is handmade and labor intensive.

In the future there will be window graphics and additional signage indicating that Slidin’ Dirty is now at Ophelia’s. Taney said that the minimum hours the kitchen will be open is 11:30 a.m to 9 p.m., seven days a week. But he expects to continue serving later in the evening to meet demand during shows. The venue and restaurant will not be open Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Taney said he hasn’t pulled out of Troy permanently and expects to have more announcements in the future.
